The short sword was stuck in the hand bones; for some reason, these mummies were unusually hard after death.
He swung his sword a second time before finally managing to sever the mummified corpse's arm.
Realizing that this was too inefficient, Shen Qian simply threw the short sword back to Yuan You and then drew the long sword from his back.
That's just a standard-issue longsword, isn't it even slower?
The thought was just about to form words and come out of Yuan You's mouth when she choked back it.
To her disbelief, Shen Qian simply swung his long sword, and the three mummies before him were severed at the waist, seemingly without any effort.
Is this just an ordinary longsword?
I'd believe you if you said it was an S-rank psionic blade!
Yuan You sighed softly, sat down on the ground, and felt very tired.
She stared blankly as Shen Qian spent a total of 101 seconds whittling all the mummies into sticks, then took a sip of water, and then walked toward the stone coffin with her long knife.
Yuan You realized what was happening and quickly stood up. Just as she was about to speak, a bright light suddenly shone from the stone coffin that had been opened, and a voice that sounded like both crying and laughing came from inside.
A woman dressed in a bright red dress floated slowly up from it.
She was dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, with exquisite makeup. Her face was almost pale, but completely bloodless. Her eyes were tightly closed, yet they gave the illusion that she was about to open them at any moment.
The surrounding spider lilies swayed wildly, as if welcoming her arrival, or as if in fear.
"Can you hear me?"
Shen Qian plunged his long sword into the ground in front of him, calmly gazing at the woman who was neither human nor ghost. "If you don't want to die, then cry."
Yuan You listened to Shen Qian's opening remarks and was both amused and exasperated.
However, they came specifically for the "Tears of the Imprisoned Woman," so if the woman before them was indeed the "Imprisoned Woman," then Shen Qian's words made no mistake whatsoever.
But... how can you make someone cry right from the start?
Thinking this, Yuan You didn't just stand by and watch. She took out the Heart-Questioning Pen, bit her fingertip, and used her blood as ink. Soon, the Heart-Questioning Pen left a few words on the sketch paper.
"Be careful ahead, this woman is very strong, almost at the level of a mountain and sea!"
Yuan You glanced at the judgment of the Heart-Questioning Pen and quickly looked up to warn Shen Qian.
She wasn't really sure about Shen Qian's strength, but she figured Shen Qian couldn't possibly be compared to Shan Hai.
Her phrase "infinitely close to mountains and seas" was meant to prevent Shen Qian from acting impulsively.
Buzz!
Just then, the woman in red suddenly let out a sharp scream. The scream was so loud that Yuan You was instantly deafened and only saw an invisible wave sweep over her.
In a daze, Yuan You saw Shen Qian walking towards her. He was as noble as a prince, with a mysterious smile. He put his arm around her waist, lowered his head, and then leaned closer.
Just as Yuan You was about to lose her way, she heard Shen Qian's sigh.
"So, this is the illusion."
Yuan You was suddenly awakened by that sigh, and then met a pair of deep, star-like eyes.
Are these the kind of eyes that humans would have?
While Yuan You was distracted, Shen Qian had already released her, pulled out the long knife from the ground again, and walked towards the red-clad woman floating in mid-air.
"die!"
