The person who emerged from the ground and attacked Lin Sanmo was none other than Fang Fan.
Ignoring his anger, Shen Qian rushed out immediately to support the ashen-faced Lin Sanmo and check on his condition.
When he sensed that the other person's life force was draining away at an alarming rate, he took a deep breath, took out a pill from his storage space, and put it into the other person's mouth.
Lin Sanmo's complexion had improved slightly, but Shen Qian knew that it was only a superficial appearance.
This pill was not enough to save his life.
A hole has been torn in his spiritual core.
The spiritual core is incredibly strong, even surpassing ordinary physical bodies by a significant margin, but once the spiritual core is damaged, the injury is almost irreversible.
Lin Sanmo seemed to understand something. He pushed Chen Qian away, straightened his body again, and looked at Fang Fan, who was standing in mid-air above the Great Protector's head.
"So it was you who impersonated 'Shenqian'."
Lin Sanmo said in a deep voice.
Shen Qian was also suddenly enlightened.
Previously, everyone had a subconscious misconception that the one who initially attacked Qin Xiaoke and the others was the Great Protector of the Spirit Witch Clan.
At this moment, both the terrifying speed, which even surpassed that of the previous sinking, and the bizarre methods that specifically attacked the spiritual core, all pointed to Fang Fan as the true culprit behind the previous attack on everyone.
"Why?"
Shen Qian also looked at the other person, his eyes filled with deep confusion.
Of the ten people on the Nine Heavens Ranking, Sha Bi is already considered to have a mysterious background, after all, he comes from overseas. But as long as there are clues to follow, something can eventually be found out.
Needless to say, the others are all different. Only Shen Qian is a genuine commoner, and even Qu Bai is a super genius who has been nurtured by military experts since childhood.
Fang Fan, on the other hand, had a completely blank past. He was previously unknown and had only entered the Nine Heavens Competition by affiliating with a second-rate martial arts academy.
But none of this... is a reason for Fang Fan to betray his race.
Shen Qian had his doubts, but he was certain that Fang Fan was a genuine human warrior.
That unique life force will not be wrong.
So before sinking, I didn't think too deeply about it.
The previous conspiracies were all orchestrated by the Great Protector of the Spirit Witch Clan, so Shen Qian did not investigate further.
There's not much reason needed between ethnic groups; the phrase "survival of the fittest" suffices.
But at this moment, Shen Qian needed an answer.
This concerns something he's been pondering lately, even his "Tao."
"Why?" Fang Fan chuckled. "That's because you don't know what kind of divine object the 'Nine Revolutions Creation Pill' is. When the envoy from the Witch Clan approached me a few years ago, I agreed without even thinking about it."
"That's it?" Shen Qian frowned.
"Idiot." Lin Sanmo uttered two words indifferently.
"What do you mean by 'that's all'?" Fang Fan's face suddenly turned ferocious. "You, Lin Sanmo, have been hailed since childhood as the most promising genius after that person to become a king. You are the center of attention, you shine brightly. What right do you have to judge my choice?"
"And you, Shen Qian!" Fang Fan shouted at Shen Qian, "You became a disciple of the Marquis of Jingcheng before you were even famous, and later you became the national martial arts champion, your path leading to great success. What right do you have to criticize me!"
“You don’t know what it feels like to be ridiculed, and you don’t understand how painful it is to live under someone else’s roof. Even the opportunity to receive compulsory martial arts education was something I begged for on my knees for three days and three nights…”
"So stop pretending to be high and mighty in front of me!"
Shen Qian frowned as he listened to Fang Fan's cold laughter. Everything the other party said seemed reasonable, but Shen Qian still felt that something was not quite right.
"Enough with your nonsense! Since you've willingly fallen into depravity and become a traitor, then I'll send you to the Yellow Springs!"
Lin Sanmo, unusually showing a tone of disgust, as if he couldn't feel the loss of life force at all, completely pulled out the longsword that was halfway drawn.
"Before I sink, I have one last sword strike."
At the same time, Shen Qian heard Lin Sanmo's voice transmission in his ear.
He turned his head, slightly taken aback.
Lin Sanmo didn't look at him again, but continued to transmit his voice: "I will die after this sword, but I will at least take away that elder of the Spirit Witch Clan. I am not confident about Fang Fan. I can't see through him. The rest... depends on you."
Shen Qian stared at Lin Sanmo's utterly calm face.
At that moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he had suddenly figured out some things that he hadn't thought through before.
Upon discovering they were in another world, Lin Sanmo initially flew into a rage, believing Shen Qian was attempting to kill them. Later, when the seven gathered to face the Heaven and Earth Annihilation Formation of the Great Protector of the Spirit Witch Clan, Shen Qian proposed a method to break the formation. Led by Cao Yi, everyone charged straight into the sea of fire without hesitation.
Their brilliance over the past two decades, their once-shining talent, the impressive family background behind them, and the concerns and expectations of countless relatives and friends...
As they moved forward with their carefree spirit, everything turned to ashes.
Qu Bai is a military man, but what about the others?
Is it really just these two simple words, "morality" and "righteousness," that make them so resolute and without the slightest hesitation?
At this moment, Shen Qian saw a trace of vicissitude behind Lin Sanmo's indifferent face, which seemed to contain something that Shen Qian had never experienced.
He suddenly realized that among the nine people excluding Fang Fan, he was the only one who had just entered the martial arts academy, while the others were either about to graduate or were a few years older than him.
In short, they were a generation behind those who had passed away.
Lin Sanmo, Bai Fei, Cao Yi... this group of people must have experienced things they hadn't experienced before the sinking.
