Chapter 2441: Chapter 1099: Hundred-Step Killing Formation

The afterglow of the sunset fell on the long halberd, making the blade appear exceptionally sharp.

"Do we have to walk through here?"

"Will they suddenly hack at us?"

"Isn’t that obvious?"

The foreigners in the temporary team couldn’t understand the scene, only sensing danger, but the People from Jiuzhou understood it all too well.

This ritual symbolizes provocation and warning, also testing whether the guests have the courage to pass beneath.

Will you remain composed or tremble in fear?

In ancient times, it meant testing the visitors more, but here in the Qin Palace Divine Ruins, there’s rule pollution present.

Hence, there’s a high probability these soldiers will hack down, turning everyone into minced meat.

The eunuch walked a few steps forward, hearing no footsteps behind, and turned back, seeing everyone motionless, he was instantly furious.

"What are you standing there for?"

The eunuch scolded, "Hurry onto the hall!"

"Let’s go!"

Xia Hongyao stepped forward boldly, unafraid, but Lin Baici pulled her back, stepping first.

"You cover for me!"

Lin Baici was concerned that if pollution erupted, Xia Hongyao wouldn’t be able to respond in time.

As he moved, Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu immediately followed, then Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi.

"Keep up! Keep up!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Long Miaomiao muttered, closely following behind.

The people of Seventh Star were not scared, especially Yi Jisheng, who couldn’t die, leisurely glancing around, enjoying the scenery.

"If visiting is delayed and angers the king, everyone will be executed without mercy!"

The eunuch hissed.

Everyone, trembling, entered this corridor formed by over a thousand Armored Soldiers.

Above are suspended sharp blades, like guillotines on the execution ground, ready to slice down at any time, turning them into minced meat.

Lin Baici was fully alert, vigilant about the Armored Soldiers ahead, to avoid sudden attacks.

The others did the same, but not everyone was strong enough to handle the Armored Soldiers’ assaults.

Moreover, attacks didn’t start from the front of the team but occurred randomly.

A sudden scream erupted.

As Lin Baici glanced back, he also watched the Armored Soldiers on both sides.

In the team, an unlucky person was stabbed in the shoulder blade by a falling long halberd, and before he could retaliate, another soldier smashed the halberd down like a hoe.

Squish! Squish! Squish!

The unfortunate person was quickly punctured full of holes, blood gushing out.

People beside him quickly stepped back in fright.

When the unlucky one completely perished, an Armored Soldier walked over, grabbing his hair, dragging him away.

Several small eunuchs quickly ran out from the side hall, carrying buckets and cloths, and waited at the place where the unfortunate one died.

As soon as the diplomatic group passed, they would immediately start cleaning the site.

"Random attacks? This is trouble now!"

"Has anyone found the key trigger for the Armored Soldiers’ attack? Speak up?"

"God Lin, think of a way quickly!"

Everyone was extremely anxious.

"Go!"

The eunuch growled, urging again.

Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu exchanged a glance and continued forward.

"Does it require a bow every three steps?"

Xia Hongyao’s eyes lit up and suddenly spoke, "We’re here to meet the king, we should show respect, then maybe these soldiers won’t attack?"

The more she spoke, the more plausible it seemed.

The others heard this and found no fault with it.

No other solution, might as well try it.

So the terrified amateurs and rotten fishes knelt on the ground, banging their heads.

"What do you think?"

Gu Qingqiu also found some reason in Xia Hongyao’s words.

[Bowing is useless!]

Eater God commented: [The king, as the ruler of all territories, would hardly care for a few bows from you peasants.]

"No use!"

Lin Baici shook his head.

Long Miaomiao and Ai Xuyue, seeing Xia Hongyao kneeling and bowing, were about to do the same, but stood up hearing Lin Baici’s words.

"Little Linzi, I think my reasoning has no flaws!"

Xia Hongyao persuaded, "Anyway, you have no other solution, try bowing once!"

"Exactly, that old Jiuzhou saying, what is it?"

San Miyairi prepared to bow, "No harm in showing more courtesy!"

"God Lin, why are you sure bowing is useless?"

Chestnut medal inquired, finding Xia Hongyao’s reason sufficient, but wondering why Lin Baici was so certain.

"If you’ve discovered something, I hope you tell everyone!"

The eunuch, finally fed up, strode over to Lin Baici, glared at him, then walked to Wang Helin and slapped him across the face.

Lin Baici was the leader of the diplomatic group; if he had a handprint on his face and was questioned by the king, he would likely be in trouble, so he could only hit the oldest.

Slap!

Wang Helin grabbed the eunuch’s hand.

"How dare you resist?"

The eunuch cursed angrily, kicked Wang Helin in the stomach.

Wang Helin didn’t resist this time.

Getting kicked a few times didn’t matter, but getting slapped was absolutely unacceptable.

"Armored Soldiers, step forward!"

The eunuch shouted.

Clack!

The Armored Soldiers on both sides took a step forward, a wave of chilling murderous intent instantly engulfing them.

"Go first! Don’t stop!"

Gu Qingqiu urged.

The team began moving forward again.

This time, everyone kept a close watch on the Armored Soldiers on both sides, guarding against their attacks.

Lin Baici walked more than ten meters, when suddenly, screams erupted from behind.

Turning back, Lin Baici saw four Armored Soldiers hacking down long halberds at a Security Bureau employee.

The unlucky one didn’t react in time and was killed without even making a sound.

The body was dragged away.
