Chapter 53: Digging Out (Supplementing the Omission of Chapter 9)

  "Little Feather!"

  "Shangguan Yu!"

  Qin Shou and Li Ruolan called out to each other, both of them eager to know what had happened to Shangguan Yu. Looking at the empty space where Shangguan Yu had originally stood, they also knew in their hearts that Shangguan Yu was probably unlikely to have a good outcome. However, they did not want to believe this result, hoping to see a miracle, hoping to see Shangguan Yu alive.

  "Alas, Upper Official Yu, how did you die? I was going to thoroughly teach you a lesson, but unexpectedly you died so early. Indeed, good is rewarded with good and evil with evil, it's just that the time for retribution hasn't arrived yet." Upper Official Jiancheng began to gloat, and Upper Official Yu's death improved his mood.

  "Shangguan Jiansheng, do you believe I can kill you right now?" Qin Shou's icy stare made Shangguan Jiansheng tremble with fear.

  Shangguan Jiancheng looked at the Ninth Master standing in the arena and his courage suddenly increased. "Shangguan Yu wasn't killed by me, what's the point of killing me? Are you trying to bully me? If you have the ability, go find the Ninth Master for revenge, but even ten of you aren't a match for the Ninth Master."

  "Hmph, that's my business, anyway I'll kill you!" Qin Shou looked at Shangguan Jiansheng and then glanced at Jiudangjia. He knew that killing Jiudangjia now was impossible, the gap between them was just too big.

  "Oh no, I'm so scared!" Jian Cheng's expression was one of fear, but his eyes were filled with malice. "Don't forget your bet, now that Yu is dead, it means all of you will die too. You still want to kill me? Don't you see what kind of person you are? Just a beast." He straightened up again, resorting to intimidation and bullying.

  "Don't be smug, I'd rather die than let you live. Shangguan Jiancheng, look at us, we've been waiting for so many days to make a move on you? I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, if only I had known earlier, I would have pinned you to the tree with one arrow." Qin Shou said.

  "Tsk, tsk, unfortunately there's no medicine for regret. Don't worry, I'll feed your corpse to the birds and beasts. After all, you're all one family, closely related. Anyway, Qin Shou and the others are going to die, so Up Official Jian Cheng doesn't have anything to fear anymore. Since that's the case, let's thoroughly humiliate them before they die."

  "Alright, stop arguing. You all agreed to the bet, and now that kid is dead, you should all kill yourselves too." Jiudangjia stepped back a distance, shook his sleeves, and looked at Qin Shou and the others. "If you don't fulfill your promise, I will definitely tear you into pieces. What I hate most are people who don't keep their word. A real man's words are as unshakeable as a galloping horse."

  "Yes, yes, you few just hurry up and surrender. Our Ninth Master definitely has other things to do, don't waste time。" Upper Official Jian Cheng is really shameless, I don't know when he became a bandit。 Otherwise, why would he say "our Ninth Master" as soon as he opens his mouth?

  "It's all your fault, you old scoundrel. I'd rather die than live. But if you had taken action, how would Xiaoyu and the others have died?" Qin Shou pointed at Jiu Lao, saying angrily.

  "What's wrong with me now?" The wine old man touched his nose and looked at Qin Shou with embarrassment.

  "What did you say? Didn't you, old man, call Xiaoyu just now? Where is Xiaoyu now?" Anyway, he's going to die, Qin Shou also let go. Offending Jiu Lao is offending Jiu Lao, anyway, Jiu Lao can't do anything to him later.

  "Alright, you little rascal. You've got guts. I'm so angry with you, you stinky brat, just wait for me, I'll teach you a lesson later." The wine old man walked to the side of the beast and knocked on Qin Shou's head.

  "You two, one old and one young, stop acting here, go ahead and kill yourselves. My time is precious, hurry up and die, don't waste my time here." Jiudangjia's eyebrows furrowed, impatiently waving his hand.

  "Alright, I, Qin Shou, am a man of my word. If I die, then so be it!" Qin Shou took out an arrow and shot himself in the temple.

  "Slap"

  The sound of the arrow feather breaking off rang out, and it turned out that Wine Old had directly snapped the arrow in two. He held the broken arrow and fiercely struck Qin Shou's head with it, "You stinky brat, is your life so worthless? Your parents gave birth to you, and you die like this - do you owe anyone an explanation?"

  "Old man, what are you doing?! If you continue like this, be careful that the Nine will take your dog life!" Shangguan Jiancheng saw that Jiu had stopped Qin Shou's self-mutilation, and felt a deep anger mixed with regret.

  "You bunch of fools, who told you that Xiao Yu is dead? Have you seen his corpse?" Wine Old shouted, it's unclear whether he was scolding Qin Shou and the others or Jiudangjia and the others.

  Qin Shou shook his head, he was also wondering, where did Shangguan Yu go? Even Li Ruolan and others were at a loss, yes, where did Shangguan Yu go?

  "Stop being unreasonable, this move of mine may have only used a bit of strength, but killing a child wouldn't be a problem." Jiudangjia's face sank, and the word "idiot" from Jiu clearly included him as well.

  Jiu didn't say anything else, he walked to where Shangguan Yu was originally standing. He touched the mud on the ground with his hand, looked at others and smiled inexplicably. The power of Jiu's move was great, if it were Qin Shou or others, they would probably be dead. But Shangguan Yu was different from ordinary people, when Jiu first came into contact with Shangguan Yu, he knew that this kid had a big secret on his body.

  That time, the divine thought in Shangguan Yu's body just glanced at him and he was directly injured. Not to mention that Jiu Lao saw the strength of Shangguan Yu's bloodline at the time. If all this can't explain anything, then how can the heavenly calamity of Shangguan Yu last time be explained? Jiu Lao has lived for so many years and has never heard of a warrior encountering a heavenly calamity during the Tianbing realm.

  "Hey you, come here," said the wine old man, pointing at Qin Shou. "You dig downwards, and Up Guan Yu's kid is inside."

  Qin Shou looked at Jiu Lao with half trust and half doubt. At this point, if he didn't trust Jiu Lao, what else could he do? Jiu Lao said that the official Yu was buried inside, so he didn't dare to dig too quickly, and had to carefully start digging. Li Ruolan and others saw this situation and also went over to help.

  Jiudangjia watched Qin Shou and the others' actions, but didn't make any moves. He was very confident in his own move; if he couldn't even kill a small fry like this, then how would he have the face to see people in the future?

  The most anxious person in the arena was naturally Shangguan Jiancheng. He least wanted Shangguan Yu to be alive. If Shangguan Yu were really alive, then Qin Shou and others would not have to die either. At that time, when Jiudangjia left, what could he do? He had already offended Jiu Lao, and it was estimated that in the future, Shangguan Yu would want to kill him, and Jiu Lao would not stop him either.

  "We've found it! I see Xiao Yu. Be gentle." Qin Shou's excited voice came over, causing Jiu Dangjia and Shangguan Jiansheng's hearts to sink.

  Jiudangjia's face was gloomy as he watched all of this. If Shangguan Yu hadn't died, it couldn't be helped that today would be an exception. In any case, as long as these people were killed off, no one would know about his untrustworthy words.

  "Cough, cough" Officer Yu started coughing and opened his eyes. Feeling the heart-wrenching pain inside his body, he could only smile bitterly. Today was really lucky, if his luck was any worse, he would probably be dead by now.

  At the moment when Jiudangjia's palm came down, he really bore tremendous pressure. It was as if a great mountain had pressed down on his shoulders, and his entire body was almost crushed. And his feet were also slowly sinking into the ground, before Jiudangjia's palm even struck, he was already like this.

  Shangguan Yu knew that this time it was probably a real crisis, and if things didn't go well, his life might be forfeit right here. However, he didn't have any defensive treasures on him either. All he could think of were the "Reversal Chaos Witchcraft" in his brow center and the Heavenly Slayer at his dantian. He was able to activate the Heavenly Slayer, but that was an offensive weapon, and he had no idea how its defensive capabilities were. As for the "Reversal Chaos Witchcraft", it seemed to be sitting in his brow center like a big old master, ignoring him no matter how he called out to it.

  At the critical moment, Xiaogui's voice rang out, "Xiaoyu, what enemy have you provoked again? I haven't slept well because of you. It seems that this time, I really need to take action. Innate Divine Ability - Shield."

  Shangguan Yu only felt something enveloping himself, he knew this was probably Xiaogui's shield. However, he thought this wasn't safe enough, so he put Xiaogui in front of his chest. Then he summoned Tianxia and placed Tianxia on top of his head. Tianxia was his weapon, naturally it couldn't harm him.

  After doing all that, the Ninth Master's palm also came down. It was as if a mountain had directly smashed into him, and he was directly knocked to the ground by this palm. Feeling the pressure coming from all around, Upper Official Yu only felt his whole body ache with pain. However, the pain did not last for long, and Upper Official Yu directly fainted.

  When he fainted, his body automatically recovered. Those wounds healed one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye, and if others saw this scene, they would be absolutely shocked. To know that, Shangguan Yu didn't take any kind of miraculous healing medicine, but relied solely on his body's self-healing ability.

  "This is a bit of a disaster for me, it really hurts. Luckily I managed to dodge into my shell in time. I don't know how Xiao Yu is doing, but with my shield, she should be fine." Little Gui Zi muttered a few sentences and then fell asleep.

  When Shangguan Yu opened his eyes again, he saw Qin Shou and Li Ruolan among others. He knew that this time he had won the gamble because he was still alive. Similarly, Qin Shou and the others didn't have to die either.

  When Qin Shou and others were immersed in joy, Shangguan Jiancheng was bitter. He scolded the sky in his heart, Shangguan Yu didn't die, how could he live in the future?

  Another ugly face was Jiudangjia, he didn't expect that Shangguan Yu really hadn't died. Looking at the defenseless crowd, his eyes flickered. If these people were really allowed to leave here alive, what face would he have left? He made up his mind, today all the people here must die!
