After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 831 First Transformation, Hidden Inside the Stone Platform

Li Jingmo gritted his teeth, gripping the dagger tightly in one hand and grabbing Mao Liu's arm, who kept looking back, with the other, protecting Lin Shuangshuang, who had finally rescued her sister, as they retreated along the same route.

He rushed back to the elevator on the thirteenth floor, but he couldn't help but look back one last time.

But he couldn't see anything at first glance; black smoke had silently spread out and was already behind him.

This time, Mao Liu reacted much faster. He pushed Li Jingmo and Lin Shuangshuang into the elevator and followed them in, quickly pressing the button.

The ground beneath their feet suddenly began to rise.

The work on the twelfth floor had been efficiently handled by Hummingbird and the other three. Big Bear was waiting at the elevator entrance, and as soon as the person inside peeked out, he quickly looked over.

He was taken aback; there was one more and two less. He asked, "Where are the captain and his wife?"

Before Li Jingmo had even left, he looked up and met the gaze of the bear. He swallowed hard and tried to convey the message as calmly as possible: "They still have some things to take care of downstairs, so they want us to go out first."

"Out?" The doctor came over when he heard the voice. "Where to?"

"That cliff."

Big Bear turned his head and exchanged a glance with the doctor.

The captain didn't let them stay on the twelfth floor to wait; instead, he ordered them to retreat immediately!

Could something else have happened down there?
But seeing that the team leader and Miss Lin couldn't hide their unpleasant expressions, they wisely chose not to press the matter further. Pointing to the pile not far away, they asked instead, "Are we taking all of these out?"

"Take those who should live with you, and leave those who should die behind. These are your captain's exact words."

If this order had been relayed by anyone else, they would have hesitated at least a moment.

But since the person relaying this message is the captain's brother, there's no need to hesitate; we just need to carry it out resolutely.

"We'll get on it right away."

The retreat was being organized hastily above, while below... Bai Lao Er was practically terrified!
He had previously suspected that Jiang Hanying might not be human, after all, their clan had been recuperating in this world for so many years and had never encountered anything that could completely kill them.

Having been so complacent for so long, he finally fell into Jiang Hanying's hands, losing his most promising nephew and himself, who was seriously injured and took a long time to recover.

But he never expected that this guy really couldn't be human!

With Li Jingmo and Lin Shuangshuang gone, Jiang Hanying no longer needed to worry about scaring them.

At the same time, he also realized that Yuan Qingzhuo in his current form was slippery and not easy to deal with.

As for whether it would scare Bai Lao Er, who was also left here, she didn't care at all. She never intended to let that guy leave alive!

At this moment, the entire thirteenth floor was shrouded in black smoke. Although they did not feel any effect after inhaling it, both Jiang Hanying and Li Chengxiao held their breath in tacit agreement.

But this is not a long-term solution. Only the dead do not need to breathe. Even if you can hold your breath for a long time, you will eventually need to breathe again.

Furthermore, holding your breath can also affect your combat performance.

Jiang Hanying made a quick decision and immediately tried to switch forms.

The energy that was originally used to maintain the person is directly poured into the body.

Soon her human form gradually faded and blurred, while her original body, which was still somewhat indistinct, became more and more solid.

Li Chengxiao sensed her preparing to switch forms the moment she did, and with a wave of his hand, the complete Shadowless Sword fell into his grasp.

The sword trembled slightly, and a faint golden protective layer spread rapidly from the hand holding the sword to the whole body, completely isolating the black mist that was still looking for a crack to sneak in.

Li Chengxiao couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke the sword. Feeling the response, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

But this scene was utterly unbearable to the eyes behind the black mist. The viscous black mist enveloped everything from all sides, trying to contaminate the membrane and, consequently, the people and swords within.

Sensing the elation and killing intent of his own sword spirit, Li Chengxiao acted without hesitation, raising his sword to meet it.

The sword techniques we practiced together countless times to face enemies were so familiar and tacitly understood that they were ingrained in our souls and bones, and there was no need to readjust them.

In an instant, the dense net of swords sliced ​​the thick black mist that had enveloped them into countless pieces.

Bai Lao Er, clutching his head which had been slashed by the sword wind and had a layer of flesh sliced ​​off, scrambled to a corner in a panic.

After finally managing to squeeze myself between two rocks, I couldn't resist peeking through the crack in the rocks again.

Upon seeing this, I couldn't help but widen my eyes again.

From the first time he met Li Chengxiao, he felt that this person was serious and upright. Even though he did not know who this person was at the time, he sincerely gave people a very serious and reliable feeling.

But why does the feeling change completely the moment I hold this sword?

The sword wind was chaotic, and its trajectory was impossible to see. Only a fleeting silver light could be seen when it was thrust out of thin air. The sword moved without form, like a ghost, but each strike was quite direct and domineering.

Even though Jiang Hanying was no longer in his field of vision, her shadow could still be seen everywhere amidst the flashes of sword light.

Is it really true that things resemble their owners?
Li Chengxiao didn't bother with the pair of eyes peeking from the shadows. After being entangled with the black mist for a while, splitting and reassembling several times, he had already realized that the black mist was protecting something.

Without a doubt, what needs to be protected is the most important thing in Yuan Qingzhuo's body right now, much like the heart and brain are to a person.

That was also his goal.

Jiang Hanying didn't need him to remind her; while cooperating with the operation, she was also secretly investigating which direction had unusual auras.

It's a stone platform!

With the sword tip slightly deflected, Li Chengxiao subtly took a few steps back, then swiftly slashed back towards the stone platform where Lin Yuanyin had been dancing.

Stone fragments flew everywhere!

A muffled groan, barely suppressed, came from the depths of the black mist.

The synthesized voice, indistinguishable in emotion, simply said: "Very good!"

Li Chengxiao quickly responded to Jiang Hanying's comment, "Thank you for the compliment!"

Bai Lao Er stared blankly at the stone platform that had been completely shattered by a single sword strike.

To be honest, even he had never seen what this so-called adult looked like all these years. The black mist was formless, and he didn't dare to ask the adult what he looked like. Over time, he accepted that the adult was just a black mass that could expand or shrink!

Until now!

As the stone platform shattered, specks of blue-purple light began to emanate from the broken stone fragments. Wherever they passed, the black mist dissipated, or rather, was absorbed by the light.

Even though Bai Lao Er had guessed that these were the adult's true form, he couldn't help but stare at the dreamlike blue-purple light spots.

In a daze, he actually stood up and walked step by step toward the direction of the light.

Just as the two were about to meet, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

"Remember, this is the second time."

Jiang Hanying kicked the still-stunned Bai Lao Er into a corner, then turned around and chuckled, "I won't do it again, you big dummy! Where's the lightning? What are you waiting for? Strike me already!"

Lei: Only this guy would dare to urge Him or give Him orders!
Just as Li Jingmo and the others led their group to the cliff and reunited with Liu Ruyu, who was still lying on the ground slowly recovering, a sudden flash of white light appeared in the night. A bolt of lightning, almost as thick as a person's waist, struck straight towards the mountain peak they had just climbed out of, instantly illuminating the faces of everyone present.

Two or three breaths later, the rumbling thunder reached their ears, startling them from their daze.
