Smiling Monk was clearly suggesting to silence Xiang Shaoyun. It caused Xiang Shaoyun to break out in cold sweat, and he didn’t know what to do. If this was in the past, he could have used the nether prison devil puppet to slow his enemies down for a bit. But now that he no longer had the puppet, he had no other trump cards for this situation.
Even if he used his Nether Soul Domain and all his ghostrunes, he still wouldn’t be able to stop Smiling Monk alone.
Just as Xiang Shaoyun was panicking, Yao Jiaojiao said, “Alright, monk. Don’t frighten my little boyfriend. He has contributed greatly in bringing us here. If we really can break through, we will just bring him with us. He won’t have any chance to leak the secret.”
“Fine, since Jiaojiao is saying that, I will respect your decision. Now, let’s work together and see if we can break in,” said Smiling Monk as he withdrew his killing intent.
“Using brute force alone won’t work. We need to borrow the power of a saint-grade item,” said Yao Jiaojiao. She looked at Ugly Gambler and said, “Ugly Gambler, take out your Heaven Breaking Shears. Stop hiding them.”
Ugly Gambler smiled as massive shears appeared in his hand. They were shaped like a vise, looking incredibly crude, yet the blades were exceptionally sharp. As Ugly Gambler channeled his energy into the shears, they started shining brightly. This was Ugly Gambler’s exclusive weapon, the Heaven Breaking Shears. The shears were a semi-saint weapon, something far beyond any sovereign weapon.
Crack! Crack!
Holding the Heaven Breaking Shears, Ugly Gambler said, “I can’t break in alone. Only if both of you are helping will I be able to release the Heaven Breaking Shears’ true might. Only then will we stand a chance of breaking in.”
“Get ready, then. We’ll help,” said Yao Jiaojiao.
“Um. We’ll help,” said Smiling Monk. He then looked at Xiang Shaoyun again. “But we can’t suffer any disturbances. We need to put this kid under control before doing anything.”
Before Yao Jiaojiao could protest, a bag appeared and trapped Xiang Shaoyun. It had happened so suddenly that Xiang Shaoyun couldn’t even react. Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun struggled madly, but it was useless.
He then heard Smiling Monk’s voice, “Kid, just stay there obediently. This is a cosmos sack. Not even a sovereign weapon can break it. With the little strength you have, you can do nothing.”
At that, Xiang Shaoyun sank into silence. He knew they wouldn’t free him. His struggles were pointless. He was better off staying calm and thinking of a way to save himself.
“Just stay there obediently, Little Brother Shaoyun. When we are done, we will free you. Your big sister can’t bear to let you die,” Yao Jiaojiao’s voice rang out.
Xiang Shaoyun did not believe a word of that. Perhaps that woman was somewhat interested in him, but for her own benefits, she would be the first to abandon him.
What should I do now? Xiang Shaoyun sighed inwardly.
Outside the sack, Ugly Gambler finally activated the Heaven Breaking Shears. Yao Jiaojiao and Smiling Monk also activated their respective energies, preparing to break into the sealed space.
Each was actually releasing the strength of a ninth-stage Sovereign. It was no wonder the Seven Villains were so feared at the Bloodsin City. They focused their energies on the Heaven Breaking Shears, creating a massive shears projection that filled the tunnel.
“Cut!” After grabbing the perfect timing, Ugly Gambler cut the space before him with the shears.
The Heaven Breaking Shears lived up to the “Heaven Breaking” in its name. That single cut contained a dreadful might capable of cutting dozens of mountains instantaneously.
The soil cracked, and the earth quaked. Boulders fell as if an actual natural disaster was happening. The Heaven Breaking Shears struck the seal before them, creating an intense backlash that rebounded back at them.
Rumble! Rumble!
The backlash was much more terrifying than the three villains’ combined assault. It gave them a fright and forced them to join hands to block the backlash. They looked battered and exhausted; with so much dust and soil on them, they looked like they had been buried alive. Blood sprayed out of their mouths without end.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, who was trapped within the cosmos sack, he suffered an even worse fate. He had not expected the backlash to assault him as well, and he was immediately blasted into the soil. In fact, the impact almost caused his entire body to implode.
If it wasn’t for the heavy armor he wore, he would have died. Before losing consciousness, he quickly refined a drop of lightning liquid to stop his injuries from worsening.
At this time, Ren Zhijiu, Winter Frost, Summer Flame, and the other Ziling Sect members appeared outside the poisonous miasma once again. They had initially withdrawn, but Winter Frost and Summer Flame had managed to convince Ren Zhijiu to return.
Of course, they had only returned with Soul Foundation Realm experts this time. The rest had been sent to the Dragon Phoenix City to wait for the Ziling Sect’s reinforcements.
The moment Ren Zhijiu arrived, he sensed the berserk undulation beneath him. Excited, he said, “Old Winter, Old Summer, you are geniuses! Someone has indeed found that place! Let’s go! We might be able to fish in troubled waters!”
“This should not be delayed! Let’s go!” Winter Frost said.
“The poison here is too powerful. I’ll open a path for you,” said Summer Flame as he released a unique flame.
And thus, they charged into the tunnel the villains had dug. The only reason Winter Frost and Summer Flame were so enthusiastic was that they wanted to deal with the three villains, creating an opportunity for Xiang Shaoyun to escape.
Meanwhile, due to their injuries, the three villains did not dare to continue their attempt. They focused on recovery instead. They had barely rested when they noticed someone entering their tunnel.
“Looks like someone is trying to profit from our hard work. Let’s leave,” said Yao Jiaojiao with a frown.
“Um. The seal is more powerful than we had expected so we won’t be able to break through it anytime soon, anyway. Let’s deal with the intruders first,” said Smiling Monk, his trademark smile nowhere to be seen.
Ugly Gambler naturally agreed. Staying in the narrow tunnel, they lacked initiative. They had to first gain the upper hand against their opponents. Just as they were about to leave, Smiling Monk recalled his cosmos sack and said, “I’ll put my cosmos sack away first. I can’t let that kid spoil my treasure.”
As he said that, he reached in Xiang Shaoyun’s direction. But right that moment, the cosmos sack cracked and shone with a nine-colored radiance.
