In the mist, a figure carrying a black sword case emerged from the ruins.
"Next, it's time to go to Olympus."
019 flew to his side. "How about we rest for a bit before we go?"
Seeing that Zhou Ping's previous injuries had not yet healed, 019 was a little worried. Although he had just killed the Sun God Ra with his sword, he himself had also suffered considerable injuries.
His clothes were torn to shreds by the strong wind, and there were some small and medium-sized wounds in some places.
The green crystal at the end of his hair kept shining, and the laws of life surrounded him, constantly repairing the wounds on Zhou Ping's body.
019 glanced down at Shang Yan, who was lying in Zhou Ping's arms. He was clean, and even the hem of his clothes was not ruffled by the wind.
“We’ve had enough time to rest before we reach Olympus.” After spreading his coat on the ground, Zhou Ping gently placed Shang Yan on it. He then looked through the small package he had brought with him when he left. Inside were two sets of clean clothes, one for himself and one for Shang Yan.
My clothes were tattered and torn, with a large patch missing around my waist and abdomen, making them unwearable.
After changing out of his battle-damaged clothes, Zhou Ping bent down and picked up Shang Yan. Seeing that he was still asleep, he reached out and pinched his cheek.
"I really don't know when I'll wake up..." But if I do wake up, it'll probably be about the same as it is now, right?
Zhou Ping stared at Shang Yan for a while, lost in thought, before finally getting up and flying into the sky.
"How long have I been in the fog?" Zhou Ping frowned as he turned on his phone, only to find it unusable, and put it back in his pocket.
The fight in Sun City was too intense; he only had time to protect Shang Yan, and his phone probably malfunctioned around that time…
Thinking that 019 was quite intelligent, he asked about it.
019 was indeed unaffected. After glancing at the time, he replied, "Since you entered the mist, it took us two days to travel. After arriving in Sun City, the war of the gods lasted for more than half a month. Now more than twenty days have passed."
This is already a fast time.
019 sensed Zhou Ping's increasingly powerful aura and divine might, and glanced at the life essence at the ends of his hair, which had been reduced to half.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How are you feeling right now...?"
“Good, the injuries you sustained have healed.” Zhou Ping noticed its gaze and thought 019 was worried about him, so he reassured it, “It’s just a minor injury… I’m fine.”
019: ...
019 hesitated for a moment, "There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you..."
"What?" Zhou Ping paused in his tracks.
019 was about to say something when he shouted, "Oh no, a beast tide!"
"It's a massive beast tide, and their destination is to the east... to Great Xia!"
Zhou Ping, who was flying towards Olympus, immediately changed direction and flew back the way he came.
"How much have you discovered?" he asked gravely.
I never expected that less than a month after I entered the mist, the Outer Gods would launch an attack on the Great Xia.
“Countless…” 019 gasped. “Strange, there shouldn’t be a beast tide at this time in the original story…”
019 was in a panic. Its main mission was to protect the Great Xia, and 019 felt that it was being targeted by the Outer Gods!
"Don't rush. Take a look at their convergence point. I'll reach the Great Xia border faster than them and guard the nation's gate."
019 immediately checked the map, "Over there at Zhuque Pass." (These locations in this article are fictional; you can imagine where they are.)
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping reached out and hugged Shang Yan tightly. He charged forward like a sharp sword, breaking through layers of mist, and returned to the border checkpoint of the Great Xia Dynasty before the surging beast tide.
At the checkpoint, where the wind was biting cold.
The Night's Watch, having long sensed the approaching beast tide, had already begun to assemble in an orderly manner.
The troops stood in neat rows at the checkpoints, fully equipped and ready to go.
By the time Zhou Ping arrived, the vanguard of the strange beasts had already attacked the defensive position.
He soared through the sky, his body surging with sword energy. The tide of sword energy swept over the troops guarding the pass and headed towards the strange beast that had already climbed onto the defensive position.
boom--
Without exception, all the strange beasts that attacked the defensive position were decapitated.
Zhou Ping leaped forward and slashed outside the checkpoint.
One man, wielding his sword, blocked the monstrous tide of beasts as vast as mountains and seas.
"019, send a message to Ye Fan for me," Zhou Ping said to 019 during a brief pause in his sword swing. "Tell him I've taken over the east side."
019: ...
These individuals will then command it!
However, since it concerned the Great Xia, 019 still happily went to send the message.
Cold-blooded 19: Zhou Ping has rushed back. He is now on the eastern border. He is guarding this area in the east.
This beast tide was massive. Ye Fan, who was rushing to the western border, was taken aback when he received a message from a stranger.
He felt relieved after seeing the message, but he was still a little confused. "Who is this...? Besides imprisoning Shang Yan and the others, does Zhou Ping know anyone else?"
Why give it such an abstract name?
But now is not the time for him to think about these things.
The earth trembled, and an overwhelming tide of beasts arrived.
This is probably another test of the Great Xia...
After Zhou Ping wielded his sword and annihilated the beast tide that stretched for thousands of miles, the giant beasts in the mist all stopped in their tracks, not daring to take another step forward.
Although the beasts were summoned, these giant creatures had no intention of dying.
Sensing the powerful divine might emanating from the person standing above the checkpoint, the giant beasts roared twice.
I don't know when it started.
When the first giant beast turned and ran away, it was as if a cataclysmic reaction had occurred, and all the strange beasts thousands of miles away turned back and ran away.
The way it looked made it seem like some ferocious beast was chasing it.
Zhou Ping swung his sword again at the group of giant beasts rushing towards the mist, killing most of them before stopping.
He slowly turned around, about to open his mouth to say something.
From the checkpoint behind them, bursts of cheers erupted one after another.
"Is that the Sword Immortal Senior?"
"Sword Immortal Senior, ahhh, I saw him draw his sword! He's so strong! Is that the Sea God Senior he's holding in his arms?"
"Senior Sword Immortal, we are all your fans! Could you please give us an autograph?!"
Zhou Ping stiffly turned his head back, which he had wanted to turn away from, and looked into the mist.
He secretly wondered if he could use this as an excuse to chase after the defeated beasts and escape the enthusiastic group behind him...
He stood in the sky for quite a while.
The Night's Watchmen inside the city couldn't help but huddle together and whisper among themselves.
"Why isn't Senior Sword Immortal coming in? Is there still a beast tide?"
"There probably is. He's staring at the mist so intently; he must be trying to intimidate the beasts inside!"
