However, the little black cat was very sleepy at the moment. It had to absorb Ye Fan’s power and recover its power as soon as possible. Therefore, it coiled itself together and spoke lazily.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m going to sleep first. Call me in ten days. When the time comes, I’ll investigate the Divine Imperial Palace.”
“Okay, Lord Cat.”
…
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
In Black Rock City, Qin Yue stood quietly on the city wall. Her fair little hand was holding a long saber and a magical long saber that was emitting a dazzling light.
At this moment, through the Blood Pearl, her strength had been greatly improved. She had finally reached the Half-Step Gold Rank.
However, she still had no chance of winning against the possible enemies. The gap was too big. One was Half-Step Gold Rank, and the other was Half-Saint. The gap was thousands of miles.
“Yueyue, are you still unable to contact Brother Li Xuan?” Song Xiaomei ran up the city wall and asked again while holding Qin Yue’s hand.
“Yes. He went to some strange place and his strength was increasing rapidly. Occasionally, he would even give me soul feedback.”
“I was able to reach Half-Step Gold Rank so quickly because of the blood pearl and his help. However, the level of that place was very high.”
“Even the summoning contract was affected, so I couldn’t contact him,” Qin Yue said honestly.
“Then what should we do? If Squinty Eyes come to Black Rock City, then we’re dead for sure. Let’s escape,” Song Xiaomei said anxiously.
“It’s useless. Those rebels who gave up the city and the people to escape were all captured. Not a single one escaped…”
“On the contrary, Ku Heshangwho guarded the city, and Ye Fan who escaped from Squinty Eyes are fine. The Divine Imperial Palace didn’t touch their cities.”
“I guess Squinty Eyes is both good and evil. Even if he comes from the Divine Imperial Palace, as long as they are someone he admires, they will all survive.”
“So I can’t leave. I must fight!” I must fight for that sliver of hope.”
Qin Yue looked at the sky and said, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.
“But that’s a Half-Saint. What can we use to fight a Half-Saint? Although you’re the strongest among us, you’re only a Half-Step Gold Rank. There’s no way we can defeat him,” Song Xiaomei said with despair in her eyes.
“It’s okay. With this weapon and the golden thread that I’ve been hiding, there might still be a glimmer of hope. Besides, Squinty Eyes might not come to Black Rock City…”
“This city is considered a remote city. Another batch of my Resistance Army has left. There aren’t many people left. Squinty Eyes might not be bothered to come to Black Rock City anymore.”
Qin Yue said faintly. Her gaze was still looking at the blue sky. There were faint golden mysterious patterns flashing in her beautiful eyes.
“I hope so. If Squinty Eyes doesn’t come, that would be great,” Song Xiaomei said hopefully.
Suddenly, the big black bear next to her stood up warily and roared into the distance.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The big black bear’s unusual behavior immediately alerted Song Xiaomei. She hurriedly looked at the official road outside the city, and instantly felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She saw a handsome youth with a long knife on his back walking over step by step on the official road condensed from dirt.
This young man had purple hair and his eyes were narrowed. He had a smile on his face and his teeth were showing.
At first glance, everyone felt that this young man was like a neighborhood boy, but everyone knew how terrifying he was.
“Are you here? Wait for me in the city and don’t come out.”
Qin Yue’s body floated down from the city wall and landed a hundred meters in front of the city wall like a fairy.
Her small hand gripped the long saber tightly as she stared solemnly into the distance, staring at the handsome youth who was coming from afar.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Song Xiaomei, Zhou Zhen, tie Niu, Zhao Xiaoxue… A group of Qin Yue’s subordinates also floated down from the city wall and stood behind Qin Yue at the first moment.
“What are you all doing down here? Quickly go back!” Qin Yue looked at Song Xiaomei and the others with a serious expression.
“I’m not going back. In the past, I’ve always protected you. Now that you’re stronger than me, you don’t need my protection anymore…”
“However, I can’t watch you die in vain. Even if we die, we have to die together.” Song Xiaomei clenched her small fists and said firmly.
“Leader Qin Yue, you saved me, Tie Niu’s life. Now that I’ve met a strong enemy, how can I hide on the city wall? I don’t want to be stabbed in the back.” Tie Niu scratched his head foolishly.
“Leader Qin Yue, I, Zhou Zhen, am a seven-foot-tall man. How can I hide behind a woman when I’m in danger? If this gets out, people will laugh at me to death.”
Zhou Zhen said in a low voice, a sense of pride seeping out from his bones.
“Ya, ya, now you have a bit of manliness. Well, you’re quite handsome.” Zhao Xiaoxue glanced at Zhou Zhen and said with a smile.
Creak!
The city gate slowly opened.
The densely packed Resistance Army rushed out of the city gate under the lead of Hei Niu. They stood solemnly around Qin Yue and stared into the distance.
“Leader Qin Yue, don’t think about taking the responsibility yourself. When we joined the Resistance Army, we naturally knew that we would be in danger.”
“Now that danger has appeared, we naturally have to take the responsibility together, even if it means death!”
Hei Niu spoke solemnly. Her face was filled with determination.
“You guys…”
The softness in Qin Yue’s heart was touched. She said gently, “Don’t worry. You guys won’t die. You definitely won’t die. I promise.”
As the sound of her voice faded.
Qin Yue took a step forward. The long knife in her hand suddenly emitted a scorching glow.
An extremely powerful force spread out from the long knife, causing the air in this area to tremble.
Everyone present felt this terrifying force, and they trembled slightly. They looked even more resolutely at the squinting eyes that were slowly walking over from afar.
“Ttsk, tsk, tsk, what a scene of unity. It makes one miss it.”
An indifferent voice slowly sounded out. Squinty Eyes pulled out the long blade from his back and waved it. He looked at everyone with an indifferent expression, looking at Qin Yue and that mystical long blade.
“It’s this blade! Are you a descendant of the Qin royal family?” Squinty Eyes stared at Qin Yue and asked lightly.
“The Qin royal family? No, although my surname is Qin, I am only an ordinary civilian.” Qin Yue shook her head.
“No, this knife can only be used by the descendants of the Qin Bloodline. It was also a weapon that the Divine Emperor used in his early years. Later, he gave it to the guardian of the Qin. I didn’t expect it to fall into your hands.”
He narrowed his eyes and explained in a light voice. His words were calm and indifferent as if it was a spring breeze.
Only after he had finished speaking, his expression suddenly turn cold as he said with a cold murderous intent.
“However, the royal family of the Qin Nation betrayed the Divine Emperor. You have caused the Divine Emperor to be disheartened. You have caused the divine emperor to wait for ten days and ten nights. All of you deserve to die!”
Like a raging wave, waves of murderous intent suddenly enveloped Qin Yue and the others.
This terrifying killing intent was like Mount Tai pressing down on them, instantly causing the resistance to lose their ability to fight.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Along with the sounds, the resistance was directly pressed to the ground by this killing intent. They could not even stand up.
Even Song Xiaomei and Tie Niu, these Silver Ranks, were all pale from the killing intent, struggling to hold on.
