My Arms Can Turn into Blades

In fact.

Lin Ying also had this feeling.

Although the two of them couldn’t see the golden cloak covering Chen Lusi,

the women’s intuition and their understanding of Chen Lusi still made them notice the anomaly immediately.

However, now was obviously not the time to talk about it, so they tacitly did not ask.

"How far is the Goryeo Branch?"

Chen Lusi, unaware of the women’s gazes, saw the collapse approaching from behind again and looked towards Zhuoli, pressing for an answer.

"Soon... soon!"

Zhuoli replied urgently, then suddenly stopped, his eyes lighting up: "I can sense the mark!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others vaguely heard... voices conversing.

It seemed like someone was whispering nearby.

Yet no one could be seen.

At the same time, there was also the faint sound of a river flowing.

But where was the river in front? Wasn’t it a straight road?

Chen Lusi looked ahead towards Zhuoli and stopped as well: "In front?"

"Yes."

Zhuoli took a deep breath, suppressing his heavy breathing: "Now close your eyes and cross over, just remember to keep your eyes closed, no matter what you hear or see don’t open them, or you might be flushed out of the Shallow Yellow Springs."

The others didn’t understand at all, but the concrete ground under their feet was already collapsing!

So they could only suppress their doubts, imitating Zhuoli, slowly closing their eyes, and stepping forward.

Chen Lusi held Lin Ying’s hand, closed his eyes, and, guided by intuition, stepped forward.

Although the front was concrete ground.

But as Chen Lusi took a step... he felt cold water washing against his ankles.

He hesitated, then resisted the urge to open his eyes, gripping Lin Ying’s hand tightly, and walked through the water.

Three steps.

After taking three steps forward, Chen Lusi finally felt solid ground underfoot again.

It seemed they had crossed the river.

Soon after.

Zhuoli’s voice rang out: "...Alright, you can open your eyes now."

Chen Lusi slowly opened his eyes and was stunned.

...The scene before his eyes had completely changed.

The sky was churning with black mist.

Surrounding them was also filled with black mist.

Visibility was extremely low.

The ground was dry and pitch black.

Yet stepping on it felt like stepping on a corpse, with a slight rebound underfoot.

Countless corpses, innumerable corpses... were piled on the dry black ground, lying in pools of blood, covering the entire ground, bodies strewn everywhere.

Undoubtedly, it was another extremely impactful scene.

Shanli looked around, then at Zhuoli: "Is this... the Goryeo Branch?"

Zhuoli nodded: "Yes, this is the Goryeo Branch, but as for why there are so many corpses on the ground, we haven’t figured out the specific reason yet."

"..."

Chen Lusi heard his words and turned back to check on Lin Ying’s condition.

Lin Ying blinked, indicating she was okay.

He then looked beyond Lin Ying, towards what was behind her.

Behind her, there was no sign of any city.

Only the endlessly swirling black mist.

"So..."

Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze, about to say something.

But suddenly.

Buzz—

The entire Goryeo Branch suddenly trembled violently!

Their bodies swayed sharply.

Chen Lusi also swayed, his words forcibly interrupted.

Before he could react.

At the same time.

Behind him, the cloak composed of strands of golden light suddenly lifted and fell, transforming into various figures appearing behind him.

"...!?"

Amidst the tremor on the ground.

Zhuoli and the others looked at the various figures.

Baffled.

What’s happening!?
