Chapter 2442: Chapter 1099: Hundred-Step Killing Formation! (Part 2)

"Little Linzi, this won’t work!"

Xia Hongyao frowned as she looked at the long staircase ahead.

By the time they finished these stairs, most people would likely be dead.

When the crowd saw more people die, they noticed it seemed safer at the front, so many started pushing forward, trying to get to the front of the line.

"What are you doing?"

The eunuch was furious, shouting at Lin Baici: "Are you not going to control your subordinates?"

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.

He didn’t dissuade those people because the front might not be safe either.

The temporary team ascended the steps again!

This time, after twenty meters, two waves of armored soldiers thrust their long spears at the petitioners before them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The long spears tore through the air with a piercing sound.

Two more people were killed!

"Damn, why are they only killing the weak?"

Someone was displeased.

They wanted those soldiers to attack Lin Baici or Dudek, these Dragon-level big shots; that way, the big shots would definitely take action, and they could benefit from it.

Otherwise, trying to rely on their own strength to get through this rule pollution?

That’s just daydreaming!

Xia Hongyao glanced at the two unfortunate victims, looked at Gu Qingqiu, then at San Miyairi: "What are you doing?"

The two girls were posing like they were dancing with odd positions.

"What do you think?"

Gu Qingqiu questioned San Miyairi for her opinion.

"It should be effective!"

San Miyairi looked at the armored soldiers beside her: "From ten meters away, these two creatures started staring at me!"

"I felt like they were going to slash at me, but as soon as I finished this move, they looked away!"

"It seems this is the solution!"

Gu Qingqiu also noticed this.

The gaze of these soldiers wanders randomly among their group, but when they start staring at someone, it means that person will be attacked when they get close.

Gu Qingqiu wasn’t being stared at, so she didn’t know if doing this move helped.

"Did you figure it out?"

The crowd urgently asked.

"Stop speaking in riddles, can you just explain directly?"

Chestnut medal urged.

"Watch me and Autumn, whatever move we make, you follow!"

San Miyairi instructed and then asked Gu Qingqiu: "Which move did you start remembering from?"

"I remembered from the beginning!"

Gu Qingqiu knew early on that San Miyairi was quite skilled, and now it’s proven true: "Shall we start from the beginning?"

"Okay!"

After speaking, the two girls raised their arms above their heads and began to wiggle.

Their movements resembled a ritual dance.

They danced as they walked forward.

[Your little sweetheart is impressive!]

Eater God complimented.

Lin Baici felt reassured hearing this.

And then very happy.

This is the advantage of having powerful teammates, he doesn’t have to worry and struggle with everything.

"If you don’t want to die, follow our moves!"

Xia Hongyao instructed while dancing and moving closer to Lin Baici: "Is Little Qiu Qiu sorted out?"

In her heart, Lin Baici held more authority.

"Yes!"

Lin Baici nodded.

"Great!"

Xia Hongyao quietly cheered.

The stairs were very long, and it was exhausting to dance up them, but no one dared to slack off because ever since everyone started dancing, those soldiers hadn’t launched any attacks.

This showed that Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi’s method worked!

Ten minutes later, everyone finally completed the stairs and reached the majestic great hall.

"We made it!"

"Gu God, Love God, you’re amazing!"

"We owe this victory to you!"

"Lin Sheng’s choice of teammates is brilliant!"

Everyone was delighted, having survived another ordeal, and while praising Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi, they didn’t forget to include Lin Baici.

As those two seemed to be Lin Baici’s lovers, closely connected to him.

Including Lin Baici in the praise, absolutely appropriate.

"What’s the deal with the dance we did?"

Long Miaomiao pulled a stick of candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to Gu Qingqiu.

She looked genuinely eager to learn.

"It’s the wall murals!"

Chestnut Medal explained, "The road we walked earlier had wall murals on both sides, didn’t it?"

"Did I ask you?"

Long Miaomiao gave Chestnut Medal a sideways glance, "If it weren’t for Sister Autumn and Eri, would you have even thought of it?"

"..."

Chestnut Medal was suddenly embarrassed.

Because this chubby girl wasn’t wrong; it was only after seeing Gu Qingqiu and Mikami performing certain familiar movements that he realized it.

"Ah, I see!"

"Damn, why didn’t I think of that?"

"Even if you thought of it, it wouldn’t matter. Do you remember such a long stretch of wall murals?"

Everyone whispered quietly among themselves.

"God Lin truly has great companions!"

Dudek couldn’t help but praise as he appraised Gu Qingqiu and Mikami.

It seems he needs to elevate his opinion of them.

Because he knew that these two girls danced from the start to the finish of the wall murals without a single error.

Chestnut Medal saw even Dudek’s face clearly showed admiration for these two girls, and he suddenly felt jealous.

Why did they choose to join Lin Baici’s team?

That guy besides being a bit handsome and capable, what else does he have?

This kind of small matter is hardly worth boasting about.

Gu Qingqiu showed no distress or happiness as she gazed at the plaque hanging from the top of the great hall.

On it were three large, bold, black characters,

Changsheng Palace!

"Once inside the great hall, you must not make noise!"

The eunuch solemnly reiterated, "Follow me!"

Soon to meet the king, who without surprise, is the god who rules Qin Palace Divine Ruins, so everyone became more cautious.

Lin Baici was the first to step over the half-meter high threshold and enter the great hall.

The ceiling of the great hall could be described as towering into the clouds, evoking an extremely spacious feeling, with thirty-six pillars within the hall, each requiring three people to embrace.

Whether they were wrapped in copper or made directly from bronze was unclear, but they looked majestic.

Inside the hall, there was no sign of the king or the ministers, only some eunuchs were busy cleaning blood and flesh off the floor.

Lin Baici looked toward the rear of the hall, where sounds of a bronze bell came from. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Typically, the king should meet Lin Baici and other mission members here, but the king always acted on whims; if he wasn’t there, it meant he was still drinking in the side hall.

So the eunuch led everyone toward the rear side hall hurriedly.

The further they went, the louder the sound of strings and bamboo instruments, accompanied by laughter.

Leaving the great hall, through a corridor, they arrived at a garden.

The garden was in a riot of colors, full of blooming flowers, with a gigantic grape trellis, except under the trellis, hung heads—not grapes.

The scene was, to be honest, quite eerie.

Xia Hongyao looked over and was startled into shouting a curse.

"Damn!"

She didn’t need to explain; everyone knew why she was so shocked, because the heads hanging there were all Dragon Level.

"Qin Shanwei is really dead?"

Xia Hongyao stared at a head and with her strong heart, still couldn’t help but gasp.

This was the man who contended with her elder sister for the position of Director-General of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, and now, only his blood-stained head was left hanging here.

Wang Helin’s face was solemn.

He knew Qin Shanwei had ventured into Qin Palace Divine Ruins with slim chances of survival, but without a body, there remained a bit of hope.

Now, this head not only shattered Wang Helin’s hope but also brought a tsunami of death pressure.

With Qin Shanwei dead, could he defeat the gods and purify this Divine Ruins?

Wang Helin lacked confidence, instinctively looking at Lin Baici.

Luckily,

at least Lin Baici didn’t panic, his face remained calm.

Wang Helin also glanced at Gu Qingqiu, yes, she was calm too.

What luck has Red Medicine had?

She found two such remarkable companions?

Could it be that you allocated all your intellect to ’making friends’?

Qin Shanwei was strong, but at this moment, he didn’t capture all the attention because these heads were each renowned, all Dragon Level titans.

"Takeda Shin, the first Sword Saint of Dayao in Easting!"

"Heroic Thief Robin, the most legendary thief in Europa historically, claiming there’s nothing he desires that he can’t steal."

"Light Illuminating Saintess Caroline!"

...

These figures, a decade or more ago, were celebrated throughout the God Hunter World, even after entering Qin Palace, their glorious deeds spread outside.

Now, the owners of these deeds had their heads hanging beneath the grape trellis like grapes, subject to rain and wind.
