Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 136 Finally, it still happened...

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue were intently considering how to use the terrain to create opportunities for their partners to win.

Given the speed and resilience of the Heavenly Warriors, it is difficult to kill them quickly. Trying to eliminate them one by one by maintaining distance is not feasible.

Lin Xiufeng considered for a moment, then sighed and said:

"If we have enough time, we can use the Armadillo King's power to dig tunnels in advance, which would make things much easier."

"Ugh! I can't think of a solution!"

Zhao Youyue discovered that the usable terrain had limited use for the Heavenly Warriors.

After much thought, it seems that the only way to break through the enemy's defenses is to use the transformation ability.

"No rush. Let's wait for the fog to spread further to prevent the enemy from escaping easily."

"Hmm, maybe the enemy's search has yielded nothing, so they've decided to split up and continue their operations."

Zhao Youyue also calmed down and maintained enough patience.

Two teams from the Overturning Heaven Organization, consisting of twelve Heavenly Warriors, began their search in the thick fog.

The fog continued to spread and expand, covering an increasingly wider and wider area.

The circular abyss of the Wulin Mountain range is also filled with increasingly dense fog.

The Youlin Feiyue Base in the Wulin Mountain Range is gradually becoming more and more covered by dense fog.

When he saw the thick fog spreading, Ma Jin had already found dozens of old members in the old base village. After giving them instructions, he went back to the village to find Liu Qingqing.

When he opened the door, he saw Liu Qingqing busy with two other people.

This wasn't the first time Ma Jin had seen this place, but seeing it today, it seemed especially absurd...

He recalled the early days of their relationship, when they were both shy and hadn't dared to take things further for over half a year.

And now... what has become of him?

What has become of her?

"You two go out first." Ma Jin didn't have time to wait and directly told them to leave.

Liu Qingqing said unhappily, "What are you doing! We're having a great time."

"Anyway, they're the ones serving you, so their interest will naturally come." Ma Jin said, waving his hand to urge them on.

But the two men were looking at Liu Qingqing, clearly indicating that they were following her will.

"No, what are you doing? Can't you come later if you have something to do? This is supposed to be our leisure time outside the house! Why aren't you following the rules!"

Liu Qingqing was baffled and didn't know what was wrong with Ma Jin.

For a fleeting moment, Ma Jin considered turning around and leaving.

But remembering their past relationship, Ma Jin suppressed his anger and said:
"I need to talk to you, can't I be bothered to wait?"

"No, what's with all this 'deep well' stuff? Is this a matter of whether it's a delay or not? Did I interrupt you when you were having fun?"

Liu Qingqing didn't like Ma Jin's tone; it wasn't the Ma Jin she was used to.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you letting them get out or not?"

Ma Jin was extremely disappointed. His behavior was so unusual, yet Liu Qingqing didn't seem to care at all!
If it were him, knowing something was amiss, he would have already sent the outsiders away out of concern.

This shows that, in Liu Qingqing's eyes, she no longer cares about him at all...

Otherwise, even if it were just to save face for him in front of outsiders, those two wouldn't still be standing there watching the show, seeing their so-called upright boyfriend lose all face.

"If you're angry, take it out on your partner, don't take it out on me! They finally left, I've been holding it in for days, I don't have time to mess around with you."

Liu Qingqing angrily reminded her again:

"And another thing—watch your tone when you talk to me. I'm the village chief, and you're the deputy. Who listens to whom? Knock before you come in!"

Ma Jin stared at Liu Qingqing, really wanting to turn around and leave...

But once she left, Liu Qingqing was finished.

The past few years of relationship, those beautiful memories, allowed Ma Jin to control his emotions, patiently and calmly say:
"I really have something to tell you."

"I don't want to say it now! Wait a minute!" Liu Qingqing snapped, turning to the two people who had been watching the show for ages, "Ignore him, continue!"

Ma Jin stood there, watching, watching...

After watching for a while, Ma Jin suddenly closed the door and left.

He suddenly realized that the Liu Qingqing he once loved was no longer there.

Just like Ma Jin, whom Liu Qingqing once loved, he is no longer here.

The Liu Qingqing of the past would not have acted this way, and the Liu Qingqing of the past would not have simply turned away like that.

The once beautiful couple... Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing, only remain in memories.

She is not herself now, and he is not himself anymore.

Ma Jin suddenly remembered a line from a novel he had read: "Sex without love has no height, and love without sex has no depth."

Every beautiful interaction between him and Liu Qingqing was once considered proof of their love, sacred and unique, and thus held a very high status.

And the absurdity of these days, everything is so casual... cheap, insignificant, after a brief moment of pleasure, there is only boredom that makes you want to look at it again.

Ma Jin entered the room, took some things to plug the gaps, but it was still not a good seal.

So they went down into the storage cellar and covered it with a lid.

The cellar was dark and devoid of light.

Ma Jin sat alone inside, reminiscing about the past, silently speaking to his beloved in his memories:

'goodbye. '

A thick fog blanketed the area.

Liu Qingqing was fast asleep in the room.

Dark, colorful fog poured in through the cracks in the doors and windows.

The three people inside the room were completely unaware.

Many people who stay indoors for extended periods of time do not fall asleep.

Suddenly, they noticed the fog seeping in, and remembering the legendary deadly fog, they were all terrified and ran out of the house!

However, as soon as they ran out of the house, they felt their Heavenly Martial Power rapidly draining away!
"Killer fog! It's killer fog!"

"A deadly fog has appeared!"

A chorus of voices screamed in terror as people desperately fled!

But the sounds of these people running out of the house didn't last long before they gradually stopped.

Their heavenly martial power was absorbed by the dense fog, and then transformed into even more fog by the Fog Spirit King, continuously spreading...

Liu Qingqing, who was fast asleep, suddenly woke up and found that the Heavenly Martial Power in her body was rapidly dissipating. She realized that she was in a thick fog and was about to get up in fear.

The two people beside her cried out in terror, "My Heavenly Martial Power! My Heavenly Martial Power!"

"Killer fog! It's killer fog!"

"The Heavenly Martial Power is almost completely drained!"

Terrified, Liu Qingqing jumped out of bed and tried to run to the cellar, but the two men suddenly grabbed her. One of them strangled her neck, while the other punched her head and face repeatedly!

"Hurry! Hit her hard, kill her! Absorbing her Heavenly Martial Power will help us hold out a little longer!"

One of them shouted urgently in fear, while the other roared in anger and panic:

"Tighten it up! It's leaking out faster than you're sucking it in!"

Liu Qingqing struggled desperately but couldn't break free. She couldn't speak. All she wanted to do was tell those two that it was no use. Let her go and hide in the cellar together; that was the only way to survive!
However, she couldn't speak.

Before long, the two people's martial arts were completely drained by the thick fog.

Liu Qingqing's head and face were smashed and deformed, and she got up and ran away.

Just as she reached the cellar door, she collapsed helplessly. She crawled over, lifted the cellar door, and crawled inside.

He managed to climb in just before Tianwu's strength was drained and closed the cellar door.

In the darkness, she waited anxiously...

Recalling how those two people had tried to kill her, Liu Qingqing suddenly burst into tears...

Then he suddenly remembered Ma Jin's inexplicable abnormal behavior and realized that he might have known all along that fog was going to rise!

"Ma Jin, you traitor! Traitor! You, you're in cahoots with the regimental commander and the others!"

In her fury, Liu Qingqing suddenly felt the Heavenly Martial Power within her body overflowing again.

She hurriedly shrank into the cellar.

However, the cellar door had gaps, and if it wasn't covered, thick fog would seep in.

Liu Qingqing had nowhere to hide, and in her panic, she suddenly thought of the box!
He quickly pulled out the storage box in the cellar, emptied the contents, crawled inside, and closed it.

However, the box was still not airtight enough.

As the fog in the cellar thickened, someone finally crawled into the box.

Realizing that her Heavenly Martial Power was draining away, Liu Qingqing had no chance to struggle anymore. In terror and despair, she had her last bit of Heavenly Martial Power drained away.

Her life or death was not even worth mentioning to the martial artists of the Overturning Heaven Organization.

In the mist, the twelve Heavenly Warriors of the Overturning Heaven Organization still had no results.

Twelve people wanted to search the entire mountain range within a radius of more than ten kilometers, even in an environment where visibility was less than one meter and there was torrential rain and dense fog.

It's really not easy!
Among the Heavenly Warriors being searched, some expressed concern:
"Deputy Commander, could it be that the five Heavenly Warriors from the Youlin Feiyue Group escaped while the fog was thick?"

"Wouldn't maintaining distance and spreading out the search be more efficient?"

"Maintain formation." Xiang Meiyan firmly maintained the status quo.

If you don't split into teams, you might just reach the target without any real achievement or consequence; but if you disperse, you might lose combat effectiveness, resulting in not only no achievement but also a consequence.
