C59 (1/2)

Xiao Li suddenly felt something above his head and heard the whistling of the wind. His already tense body immediately crouched even lower. He stared at the direction of the wind for a while, but didn't attack as he had expected. Instead, the thick smoke around him began to swirl and slowly drift toward the sound of the wind.

Old Zhao sounded surprised, as if something unfathomable had happened. Yin Sun burst out laughing. ”You dared to make trouble at my earth altar with just a little Soul Devouring Smoke? I'll make it so that you won't have a chance to return today.” Then there was the sound of ping-pong again, and the two of them began to fight again. This time, it seemed like Old Zhao Li was not up to the task. In just a short moment, he seemed to have been hit by a muffled groan.

Yin Sun laughed. ”Well?” ”If you can still hold on to three of those, I will immediately let you pat your butt and leave.”

Old Zhao coldly snorted and said, ”Who would believe a person like you who goes back on your words! This old man will not keep you company any longer!”

Yin Sun snorted angrily. ”Can you just leave?” ”Watch this old man break your trashy smoke!” It seemed like Old Zhao had suddenly hidden himself into the Soul Devouring Smoke and stopped fighting him. As he finished speaking, he clapped his hands together, and Xiao Li heard the sound of wind in his ears. The thick smoke had already dissipated.

By this time, the stone platform had risen another five meters. Xiao Li could only feel the wind blowing louder and louder above his head. He didn't dare to relax for even a second for fear of anything unexpected happening. Lieutenant Shen Bu, on the other hand, was lying on the ground, staring around nervously.

Xiao Li could feel the thick smoke rapidly dissipating in all directions. He could vaguely see Lieutenant Shen Bu at his side and thought to himself, ”It looks like Yin Sun isn't simple at all. He actually broke through this Soul Devouring Smoke that has been leaving everyone helpless. Old Zhao seems to be in danger. I have to find Little Ying Ying, otherwise Yin Sun might come to stop me.” He felt anxious and immediately used his keen eyesight to look around, hoping to find the hidden place mentioned by Lieutenant Shen Bu as soon as possible.

Just as Xiao Li was looking around, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from below him. He lowered his head and saw a shadow climbing up the pillar. Just as Xiao Li was silently using his hidden strength to strike out at the opponent, the figure had already called out to him: ”Brother Xiao, it's me. Please do not take action. We should deal with the current great enemy together.

It was Old Zhao. He walked quietly to the side of the Cloud Bed and saw the stone pillar rising up. He hoped that Xiao Li and he would join forces to deal with Yin Sun. When Xiao Li heard his voice, he hesitated for a moment before deciding not to attack. Instead, he allowed Old Zhao to climb up onto the stone platform. Old Zhao stepped onto the stone platform and cupped his hands towards Xiao Li, ”Many thanks!” He continued to explain, ”There are many traps in this place. Yin Sun had blown away my Soul Devouring Smoke with the help of the wind. Now that I've lost my Soul Devouring Smoke's barrier, I'm no longer his match. I hope Brother Xiao can lend me a hand. We can work together to make it difficult for him.”

Xiao Li remained silent as he looked at Old Zhao. Old Zhao's clothes were in disarray and there were several sword wounds on his right arm, so he could only hold the sword in his left hand. At the same time, his chest was stained red with fresh blood.

Old Zhao smiled awkwardly, ”Am I in a sorry state?” Xiao Li shook his head slightly and gave him a thumbs up. He really did admire Old Zhao. After being plotted against twice, he had been able to fight Yin Sun and walk away with ease. This was truly admirable.

Old Zhao smiled bitterly: ”To be able to receive Brother Xiao's praise, this old man will not be in vain. I ask Brother Xiao to agree to this old man's request. If you agree, this old man is willing to risk his life to help Brother Xiao save someone. ”
