Chapter 259: Preemptive strike

There really was no shadow!

Qin Xuan clenched his fist slightly, looking at Liang Yong warily.

This person is very problematic.

Or rather, is he really human?

As this thought rose from the bottom of his heart, the more Qin Xuan looked, the more he felt Liang Yong's expression was dull, like a stiff puppet.

This guy couldn't be a dead man, could he?

Qin Xuan swallowed.

Living people all have shadows; only dead people or ghosts do not.

He couldn't say what this Liang Yong was, but he was definitely not a living person!

His gaze shifted to the side; Song Bin's shadow on the other side was constantly swaying with the flickering lamplight.

Qin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more certain that this Liang Yong was indeed problematic.

Leaving aside everything else, lacking a shadow alone made him suspicious.

"Then what are we waiting for? They'll be in danger if we delay any longer."

Song Bin was already consumed by the jade pendant at this point, and he hastily wanted to pull Liang Yong away from here.

"If you ask me, let's take them too. Although they're not very useful, they should be able to help out a bit."

Liang Yong's pale face looked at the three of them.

Although he seemed very anxious, Qin Xuan could still see a hidden greed beneath his expression.

At this, he became even more certain that this was not a living person.

"Them? What use could they be? We can just go."

Song Bin said anxiously; he was already impatient to find the jade pendant and take it back.

"Let's take them anyway. After all, there are three people over there, and they can help carry people over then. I also have stone clothes here; I'll give them one each and let them follow."

Song Bin thought for a moment, nodded, and then turned to point at the three of them.

"You three, come with me to take a look. Remember to help when the time comes."

Just as Song Bin turned away, a strange smile appeared on Liang Yong's face.

Seeing this smile, Qin Xuan became even more convinced that this person was problematic.

Although he didn't know what method the other party used to block his Qi.

However, from what Qin Xuan saw now, this Liang Yong must have used some method to hide his Qi.

This way, others couldn't see through him.

Wang Fu and Nannan, of course, also knew that this Liang Yong was very wrong.

They were all waiting for Song Bin to take them out of here.

But now, Song Bin actually wanted them to go to their deaths with him.

They were naturally extremely nervous.

"Alas!"

Qin Xuan sighed helplessly.

He just wanted to leave here, but why were these people always so restless?

Shaking his head, Qin Xuan stood up and walked to Song Bin's side.

"Chief Song, there's something I need to tell you."

"Nothing is more important than this matter right now. Don't you want to get out?"

Chief Song looked at Qin Xuan with a stern face, questioning him coldly.

Hearing this, Qin Xuan wished he could slap Song Bin to death.

But he also knew that he still needed this person's help to leave here, so he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Chief Song, this matter will be of great help to you in finding the jade pendant!"

Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Chief Song looked at Qin Xuan with suspicion.

Qin Xuan struck while the iron was hot, directly pulling Chief Song aside.

"Chief Song, this Liang Yong is problematic."

Qin Xuan spoke first before Chief Song could refute him.

"If you don't believe me, look at him. Everyone here has a shadow, but he doesn't. He's not human..."

Hearing this, Chief Song hastily turned to look at Liang Yong, and when he saw that there was indeed no shadow under Liang Yong's feet, his scalp suddenly tingled.

This Liang Yong really had no shadow!

At this point, various terrifying doubts immediately arose in his mind.

What exactly was going on with this Liang Yong!

Thinking of this, Chief Song remembered Xiang Guang from before.

Xiang Guang's strength was not only superior to his own, but there were also three of them; how could they have internal strife so easily?

This matter was full of loopholes to begin with.

Connecting this with the secret that Liang Yong accidentally let slip earlier, Chief Song was already certain that this matter was absolutely not simple.

Taking a deep breath, Chief Song looked at Liang Yong.

At this moment, Liang Yong, in his eyes, was like a monstrous flood.

"What should we do?"

Chief Song was at a loss for ideas for a moment and actually began to ask Qin Xuan.

Hearing this, Qin Xuan wished he could raise his hand and slap this person to death.

This was truly a good-for-nothing; he was still saying such things at a time like this.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan suppressed the disdain in his heart.

"Chief Song, you don't need to worry too much about this; just kill it."

Hearing this, Chief Song hastily looked at Qin Xuan.

"This, how is this possible? It killed Xiang Guang and the others..."

Qin Xuan really wanted to slap him hard.

"Chief Song, if it were really that strong, it would have acted here. But it hasn't attacked you from beginning to end, clearly because it knows your strength is extraordinary and it's not your match, which is why it wants to trick you outside."

"There are only two reasons for doing this: either it has accomplices ambushed outside, and only by luring you out can they use the ambush to deal with you."

"Or its accomplices are strong but cannot enter this temple, so they want to use this method to trick us out to fight. The three adults before should have been the same."

Clearly, there should be a powerful entity outside this dilapidated temple.

It's just that for some reason, this entity couldn't enter the dilapidated temple, which is why 'Liang Yong' came in, wanting to trick them out.

As long as they left the protection of the dilapidated temple, they would be lambs to the slaughter.

Leaving aside everything else, even those Yin winds could deal with them.

Hearing Qin Xuan's analysis, Chief Song immediately gained confidence.

People like him were most likely to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Hearing that this thing in front of him was not his opponent at all, Chief Song naturally immediately gained great confidence.

"Little thing, you dare to trick me!"

Chief Song sneered, immediately drew his saber, and rushed towards Liang Yong.

"Senior Brother Song, what are you doing!"

Liang Yong cried out from the side, looking very frightened.

But Chief Song had already seen through the other party's trick and didn't fall for it at all, swiftly slashing towards Liang Yong.

Just as his saber was about to fall on Liang Yong's head, Liang Yong's body suddenly swayed a few times in a strange posture, and then he fell down like a broken sack.

At the same time, a black shadow shot out like lightning, rushing towards the temple gate, intending to bolt out.

"Indeed, there's a ghost! You're seeking death!"

Seeing this scene, Chief Song was both relieved and angry.

Fortunately, Qin Xuan reminded him; otherwise, he would have truly fallen this time.

Thinking that he had just walked past the gates of hell and almost died due to greed, the large saber in his hand flew out swiftly.

"Clang!"

Just as the black figure was about to rush out of the temple gate, the large saber directly chopped the black figure to the ground.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream came, and Chief Song rushed up quickly, delivering another blow.
