I just want to be stable, I was hung up and became a Valkyrie

Chapter 321 Undercurrent
boom!
Shen Qian punched out, and a wild boar-like monster charging forward in front of him was smashed to pieces, white and red scattered all over the ground.

Shen Qian frowned, and his vision finally stopped on the wild boar's pale red eyes.

In all fairness, the level of this unknown wild boar is at least W level, which is comparable to that of a middle-level warrior. Considering that this place is only the first level, it is already considered very powerful.

What was unusual was that this was the third monster attack Shen Qian had encountered in just one hour.

This continent is obviously very vast, but the frequency of these monsters appearing... is too high.

Up to now, Shen Qian has been wandering in this jungle, but has not met other warriors.

At this time, the surrounding space suddenly trembled, and when Shen Qian was vigilant, with a flash of brilliance, a pure white ape appeared next to Shen Qian.

"Great Saint."

Shen Qian relaxed and let the excited Great Sage jump onto his shoulders.

Before departure, all warriors who wanted to bring monsters into the arena registered at the temporary registration point in advance. The monsters did not enter the arena with them, but were sent in after an hour.

Shen Qian reckoned that it was because the teleportation mechanism established for monsters was different from that of warriors, so they had to go through different channels.

An anklet was also tied to the Great Sage's ankle, and the serial number should be bound to Shen Qian.

After the great sage greeted Shen Qian with howls, his gaze suddenly turned and fixed on the fragmented corpse of the monster below.

Then, under Shen Qian's puzzled eyes, the Great Sage jumped over, rummaged through the broken flesh and blood, and found a very inconspicuous transparent stone.

"Crack!"

The Great Sage swallowed the stone into his belly, chewed and swallowed it, and then pointed to his belly excitedly.

After a chattering exchange, Shen Qian said in surprise, "You said that this crystal is full of pure aura, which can be swallowed directly?"

After a little thought, Shen Qian couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was so.

If this world is really created by princes, then in a sense, all the creatures on this continent are not real, and the spiritual energy crystallization is like their core.

Generally speaking, although warriors condense vitality by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, the aura of heaven and earth must be transformed into vitality through cultivation techniques.

The biggest function of the exercises is to filter the impurities in the aura of heaven and earth, and then treat them as vitality through the absorption of the body.

However, the aura crystals erupted by the monsters in the Nine Heavens World have already been filtered by the princes, in other words, they can be absorbed directly.

Even the "immemorial formula" practiced by Shen Qian could not have such efficiency.

If this is the case in the Nine Heavens World, then it is simply a sacred place for warriors to practice first-class!
"Is this also a hidden benefit?"

Because they were all low-level monsters, Shen Qian had no idea, and hadn't used mental power to scan them before, but only discovered the secret at this moment.

Originally, he thought that the appearance of these monsters was just to create obstacles, but he didn't expect that there were such benefits.

Those who quit out of fear would regret it to death if they knew the inside story.

Because even if you don't fight or grab, just experience in the Nine Heavens World, as long as you kill a few more monsters, it will be considered a worthwhile trip.

However, with the quality of Shen Qian's vitality, the aura crystals produced by this low-level monster have little effect on him, but the effect on the Great Sage is obvious.

After the Great Sage swallowed the core, Shen Qian only sensed it for a while, and found that the Great Sage's aura was obviously a bit tyrannical.

"It seems that it is indeed right to bring you here."

Shen Qian smiled, casually identified the direction, and beckoned the Great Sage to move on.

……

It was more than ten minutes later.

Shen Qian looked at the broken flesh and blood under his feet, and after confirming with the Great Sage, he couldn't help frowning.

This is clearly the place where he killed the wild boar monster.

That is to say, he returned to the original point after a large circle.

This unscientific.

Although Shen Qian knew that his sense of direction was really bad, especially in a place where the magnetic field was chaotic, he wouldn't be spinning around all the time.

After thinking about it, Shen Qian stepped heavily on his feet, and his figure instantly rose from the ground and went straight to the sky.

After hundreds of meters from the ground, the surrounding landforms were finally clearly reflected in Shen Qian's eyes. Shen Qian couldn't help but gasp when he saw it.

The jungle stretched from the bottom of Shenqian to the surrounding vastness, and the thick fog covered the sky, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

Standing at a high altitude, Shenqian is like a reef in the vast ocean, so small and lonely.

He extended his mental power to the surroundings, but he obviously felt obstacles, and he couldn't advance any further after only extending 200 meters.

"What the hell is this mud horse?"

……

On the square, all the stone statues have long been silent and lost their original luster.

Only the 3D projection in the mid-air is emitting bright light. On the reduced version of the continent, there are more than 20 cursors marked with numbers. At this time, many cursors are moving, and some of them have already entangled together.

At a certain moment, one of the extremely inconspicuous cursors suddenly went out, and then there was a wave of fluctuation in the square, and a young man with a weak breath fell on the square.

"Zhou Qun!"

With a shout, a strong man from mountains and seas landed beside the young man on the platform.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I... I failed."

The distraught young man came back to his senses, looked at the broken bracelet on his wrist, a look of shame appeared on his face, and he lowered his head deeply.

"Well, your temperament is impetuous, and failure is not a bad thing. I hope you can learn from it."

The mountain and sea expert sighed softly and comforted him, and then a staff member came to take the young man named Zhou Qun away from the arena.

The appearance of Zhou Qun was just the beginning. As time went by, warriors who had been eliminated in advance would appear on the square from time to time, sometimes even three or four at a time.

For many strong men standing on the high platform, such a scene was expected.

Although the first heaven is the most vast, it is also the time when the number of people is the largest. Even compared to the base number of more than 20 people, the current elimination rate is far lower than expected.

At this time, there was some commotion on the high platform, Ning Zhiyuan strode past other mountain and sea powerhouses with a sullen face, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, Ning Zhiyuan walked directly to the middle of the high platform.

On the circular viewing platform, there is a cloud platform that protrudes forward. There are only a dozen seats on it, which seems a bit empty, but ordinary mountain and sea powerhouses can only look at it here. will feel suffocated.

That is the exclusive area of ​​princes.

Every sitting figure among them, even if it is only a clone, is an existence that mountains and seas must look up to.

And in the eyes of so many people, Ning Zhiyuan walked over with an unwavering expression.

At this moment, even though most of the people standing on the high platform were mature and prudent top-level mountains and seas, they couldn't help but grow some curiosity and glanced at them quietly.

"Zigaki, what's the matter?"

With a deep voice, Ning Zhiyuan stopped in time at the edge.

Even though those princes with their backs to Ning Zhiyuan didn't turn around, Ning Zhiyuan could still clearly feel that several eyes were cast on him, and the pressure doubled for a while.

But Ning Zhiyuan didn't back down, he just took a deep breath and said, "Principal, I have a question."

"Say." After a brief silence, Uncle Pingyang's voice sounded again.

"I don't quite understand why... some students were directly teleported to the 'Mist Forest'?"

Ning Zhiyuan asked.

His voice was not too loud, but it was enough to be heard by hundreds of nearly a thousand strong men on the high platform.

For a moment, many people were taken aback, and then subconsciously turned their gazes to the virtual projection.

Although most of the powerhouses present at the moment don't know the entire competition system, they have more or less participated in the construction of the basic formation in the early stage.

They also understand in their hearts how complicated and vast the terrain in the Nine Heavens World is in order to experience the younger generation to the greatest extent.

It is a world drawn from dozens of "doors" behind the world.

Because of this, in every layer of heaven, there will inevitably be dangerous or forbidden places.

The first world has the fewest forbidden areas, only a "Forest of Mist" and a place called "Valley of Extinction".

And for the vast world of the first layer, these two places are at the corners. Although the students may not have the awareness of the forbidden area, the chance of entering it by mistake is not high.

And now, listening to what Ning Zhiyuan said, someone was sent there right after the start of the game?
Surprised, when everyone turned their heads to take a closer look, they were all taken aback.

Sure enough, on the shrunken continental projection, at the northeast edge that no one had noticed just now, in a small area shrouded in fog, there was a cursor flickering surprisingly.

The princes on the cloud platform probably noticed it too, but they were silent for a while, including Uncle Pingyang.

It's just that many people subconsciously glanced at the middle of the dozens of seats, but quickly retracted them, as if they were afraid of even staying.

Although the first layer of heaven world is in charge of the infrastructure construction by the strong men of mountains and seas, the final formation is completely controlled by princes and princes.

And even the establishment of the "door" was done by one person.

For a moment, everyone was speechless at Ning Zhiyuan's courage.

Because of Ning Zhiyuan's words, if you interpret them too much, it can even be understood that he is questioning the ethereal figure in the middle.

No one spoke, but the atmosphere was almost frozen.

"Is that Jiang Zhongjun's student?"

At this time, a faint laugh sounded, which eased the atmosphere, and many people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Ning Zhiyuan replied, paused, and continued: "Minister Wu, no matter which school's students are, they were teleported to the forbidden area as soon as they entered the venue, and they were born behind the B-level 'gate'. The almost incomprehensible forest of mist, isn't this a bit unfair?"

Seeing that King Zhouyi had nothing to say, Wu Wei shook his head and smiled.

"The teleportation book is random. It's impossible to let all the students meet as soon as they enter, right? As for the teleportation places, of course there are good and bad ones. I think some people were sent to the Valley of Extinction. It's just an isolated phenomenon, so don't worry about it."

"But... I still don't think it's fair."

Ning Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, but continued.

At this moment, many mountain and sea powerhouses on the high platform looked at Ning Zhiyuan in surprise.

After all, Wu Wei's explanation is already reasonable, and Wu Wei, as the Minister of Martial Arts and a top prince himself, can answer Ning Zhiyuan's questions so patiently, which is beyond reproach.

And Ning Zhiyuan is still like a stunned young man, just because a student of Jiang Zhongjunwu was sent to the forbidden area, he repeatedly questioned him, somewhat "ignorant".

Wu Wei also frowned. Just as he was about to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the number on the cursor, which looked familiar, and couldn't help but feel his heart move.

"Who is the student who was sent to the restricted area?"

"Shen Qian."

Ning Zhiyuan slowly spit out two words.

There was a sudden silence on the high platform.

Up to now, Shen Qian's name is not only among the younger generation, but also among mountains, seas and princes.

The closed disciple of Jingcheng Hou Gao Wenyuan, the unprecedented national martial arts champion, the peerless genius who beheaded the second heaven of mountains and seas, the seven-star alchemy master who developed the "good luck" pill formula, the super evildoer in the top ten of the Nine Heavens Ranking...

Such a figure who can be called the rising star of Jiang Zhongjun Wu was sent to the "Mist Forest" alone among more than 20 students.

No wonder Ning Zhiyuan was so persistent, even at the risk of angering the prince, he insisted on asking an answer.

It's no wonder that Uncle Pingyang was silent for a long time, I'm afraid he had already realized something.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the high platform became weird.

Many people didn't care about the taboo, and cast their eyes directly on the center, as if they wanted to see if King Zhou Yi, whose whole body was like a mist, would respond to such a question.

It's a pity that King Zhou Yi still didn't say a word.

It seems that he doesn't bother to explain, or that Ning Zhiyuan is not qualified to let him explain.

Ning Zhiyuan took a deep breath, and when he gritted his teeth and was about to speak, Wu Wei, who was in a daze, seemed to come to his senses suddenly. He interrupted Ning Zhiyuan with a wave of his hand, and a faint smile returned to his face.

"The teleportation is indeed random. There is no absolute fairness in this world."

Perhaps seeing the unwillingness in the corner of Ning Zhiyuan's eyes, Wu Wei smiled again: "You don't need to worry, although the 'Mist Forest' is from a B-level 'door', with Shen Qian's strength, can't you break through? "

"Besides, although being directly teleported into the forbidden area is indeed a bad start, you also know that in the mechanism of the 'Nine Heavens Contest', there is always an opportunity behind the risk, and the 'Mist Forest' also has the biggest treasure in the sky."

"Isn't this Shen Qian's advantage?"

Ning Zhiyuan was speechless for a while, because what Wu Wei said was not without reason.

Indeed, the biggest hidden reward in Yichongtian World is in the "Mist Forest". With Shen Qian's strength, there are only benefits for him.

What really worried Ning Zhiyuan was that Shen Qian would waste too much time in the "Mist Forest" and thus lose the opportunity.

In the battle of the Nine Heavens, everyone knows that the real ultimate reward lies above the Nine Heavens.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

The most painful thing is that I also know from Cheng Qingqing that Shen Qian is good at everything, except that his sense of direction has never been very strong...

And Ning Zhiyuan still has a layer of deep worry, but he dare not show it.

That is, Shen Qian was sent to the forbidden area alone. Was it intentional by King Zhou Yi, or was it really just a coincidence?

If the former, then...

It's just that Ning Zhiyuan couldn't figure it out, how could Shen Qian be at such a level, how could he have grievances and entanglements with King Zhou Yi?
It's not that I look down on Shen Qian, but that the current Shen Qian is really not qualified.

Ning Zhiyuan, who was worried, was finally persuaded to leave. Watching Ning Zhiyuan turn and leave, Wu Wei, who was sitting in the first position on the left, looked away, and the smile on his mouth disappeared.

He turned his head slightly, took a deep look at King Zhouyi who had been silent from beginning to end, and then laughed softly: "The road ahead is blurred now, but it's just some old grudges between Lord Yanshan and Marquis Jingcheng, and it's not a matter of life or death." The level of enmity, can you ask the king of Zhou Yi to persuade him a little bit?"

Silence.

After a long time, the mist seemed to fluctuate, and King Zhouyi's faint voice came out, "Yes."

Wu Wei nodded, and then turned his gaze back to the phantom projection, without further words.

……

"Is this an online game turned into a stand-alone computer?"

In the deep jungle, Shen Qian rubbed the aching brows.

He didn't quite understand why he had been wandering around for nearly two hours without even seeing a single person.

In this fog-shrouded forest, apart from the endless monsters and beasts, there is an eternal loneliness.

Shen Qian originally thought that it would be easy to find a way out by virtue of his superiority in imperial space and mental strength, but that was not the case at all.

Although he no longer fell into the dilemma of spinning in place, the progress of exploring the direction was extremely slow.

The weirdness of this place was far beyond Shen Qian's imagination.

He didn't understand why it was so difficult to deal with the world of the first layer of heaven?
How did other people cope?
Is it just me who is a road idiot?

Maybe getting the system online can quickly find a way out, but Shen Qian is not willing to spend energy on finding the way.

This is just the first level, and I don't know how many unexpected situations will happen later, it's just to find a way, it's not necessary.

Boom!

At this moment, the clear sky was thundering.

Shen Qian raised his head in astonishment, and saw a golden light appearing in the distant sky, that golden light dyed half of the sky like a dream.

Immediately afterwards, the sky suddenly became much more transparent, and a sparkling star also appeared. Looking closely, the star seemed to be still moving.

Immediately afterwards, several stars were lit up.

When Shen Qian was confused, the magnificent voice that had appeared before resounded between the heaven and the earth again.

"Double heaven gate has been opened!"

Has anyone entered the Second Heaven?

Only then did Shen Qian realize it, and then he suddenly realized.

If you didn't guess wrong, the golden light should represent the opened "door", and those twinkling stars are the warriors who entered first.

Sure enough, only a few minutes later, more than a dozen stars were lit up one after another.

This also means that after the "door" is opened, the number of people entering the second heaven is gradually increasing.

"Forget it, it's just the Second Heaven, don't worry, don't worry."

Shen Qian comforted himself, the good news is that with the appearance of Jin Guang, at least the general direction will not be wrong.

He was about to move forward when the leaves turned, but the great sage who was looking for a way in another direction came back.

"%#*&..."

After the great sage landed in front of Shen, he first pointed to his back, and then called out with excitement and solemnity.

"Oh?" Shen Qian quickly understood, and then became interested, "Go and have a look."

……

Ten minutes later, Shen Qian couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the Baizhang Tree Demon that fell down suddenly in front of him.

He never thought that there would be monsters of this level in the world of First Heaven.

Although this tree demon, who has lived for an unknown number of years, is not yet a real transcendent high warrior, he is infinitely close to the mountains and seas, and his vitality is extremely strong, very difficult to deal with.

According to the normal evaluation, this is at least a Q-level to P-level monster.

Even if Zhao Ke met him, he might not be able to get anything good.

For more than [-]% of warriors who entered the Nine Heavens World, this is a desperate existence.

Beside Shen Qian was the great sage who was scarred and out of breath. For the purpose of training, Shen Qian asked the great sage to fight the tree demon first.

However, the great sage whose realm is only comparable to the late stage of the high warrior is naturally not the opponent of the tree demon, so in the end Shen Qian slashed with a knife to completely end the tree demon's life.

A crystal core the size of a fist tumbled out, and at the same time, a brilliant brilliance emanated from the soil that the Dryad had just occupied.

Shen Qian threw the core to the excited Great Sage, and then opened the roots of the tree demon.

Nine Nine Heavens Tokens shining with charming luster appeared in Shen Qian's vision.

And in the middle of the Nine Heavens Order, there is a small treasure chest.

The nine Nine Heavens Tokens only surprised Shen Qian briefly, but considering the terrifying strength of this tree demon, it is normal to give nine Nine Heavens Tokens as a reward.

What really made him curious was this treasure chest.

Opening the treasure chest, there is no magical medicine or rare treasure inside, but just a simple key.

Shen Qian tried it, but the key was made of an unknown material, except for a trace of unique charm, but nothing could be discerned.

After searching around again, after making sure that there was nothing missing, Shen Qian could only put away the mysterious key of unknown origin.

By this time, Shen Qian had already expressed some meaning.

Although he didn't know what the situation was, the jungle he was in was probably a rather special existence in the world of First Heaven.

This dryad is equivalent to a hidden boss, but it was inexplicably single brushed by Shen Qian.

With the windfall Shen Qian, his mentality was completely calmed down.

It wasn't until the great sage, whose aura had risen a lot, woke up from his cultivation, that Shen Qian led the great sage to embark on the journey of finding the way again.

……

Another hour later.

With the direct sunlight coming, Shen Qian looked back at the deep jungle behind him, and then exhaled a long breath.

After hours of struggling, he finally came out.

There is a plain in the distance, and there are mountains and rivers in the distance. In short, everything is back to normal.

And the direction of the golden light was finally clearer than ever before.

The stars twinkling above the head have become densely packed, at a glance, there are at least thousands of them.

This also means that the number of warriors who have entered the Second Heaven Gate has exceeded several thousand.

Shen Qian, who didn't waste any more time, made the Great Sage jump onto his shoulder, and then rushed forward with a "bang".

Soon, Shen Qian saw a figure for the first time.

Those were two warriors who were fighting, they were both in the realm of medium warriors, they were fighting crazily because of a Nine Heavens Order lying on the ground.

Shen Qian glanced at the Nine Heavens Order that was within his reach, hesitated for a while, then shook his head and looked back.

The two of them had no grievances or enmities with him, so there was no need for them to do such bullying things and lose their military reputation in vain.

When Shen Qian flew across the sky without stopping, both of them stopped in astonishment, but Shen Qian's figure just disappeared in a flash, and soon disappeared above their heads.

The further forward, more and more figures appeared in Shen Qian's field of vision.

Some people were carefully exploring the surroundings, and there were also three or four warriors in a team beating up a monster, but more, like Shen Qian, quickly moved towards the direction of the second heaven gate.

Although the world of First Layer Heaven is huge, it is nothing at Shen Qian's terrifying speed.

Only ten minutes later, in Shen Qian's field of vision, he had already seen the Heavenly Gate standing between the sky and the earth, about a hundred meters high.

But at this moment, outside the Tianmen, there are also hundreds of figures gathered.

Those martial artists who were vigilant to each other hovered near the Tianmen, but no one entered.

Shen Qian was puzzled at first, but when he got closer, he already understood something.

Not everyone can easily gather two Nine Heavens Tokens, except for the warriors on the Qianlong Ranking and Ascending Dragon Rankings, most people are even hard to find a Nine Heavens Token.

In this case, there is still a way to go.

That is to guard directly near the Tianmen and snatch other people's Nine Heavens Order!

So just by turning his gaze, Shen Qian already understood what these people were planning.

But Shen Qian naturally didn't have the slightest scruples, and didn't even have the slightest concealment of his figure, so he rushed directly towards Tiantianmen.

The violent wind caught the attention of nearby warriors.

They were vigilant at first, with some expectations, but when they turned their heads and saw Shen Qian, who was a thousand meters away, coming from the sky, although they still couldn't see Shen Qian's face clearly, everyone retreated subconsciously.

Stepping into the air... means that the person coming is a member of the top minority group.

Who dares to stop?

Soon, Shen Qian got closer, and his pace slowed down a little.

"It's Shen Qian!"

Many people recognized Shen Qian, and exclaimed one after another for a while.

"Why hasn't he gone up..."

"Shh!"

What made Shen Qian a little puzzled was that many people's faces were unnatural, and some strange whispers reached his ears.

Amidst the terrified eyes of the people around, Shen Qian stopped suddenly.

He looked around, but he didn't see Jiang Zhongjunwu's students, nor did he see any acquaintances. After frowning slightly, Shen Qian casually pointed at the crowd.

"Why are you looking at me like that, what happened?"

"what……"

The student who was pointed out by Shen Qian flinched, but under Shen Qian's gaze, he could only stand up bravely and said with a smile: "We...we are just a little strange that you came so late here……"

This explanation makes sense. Although Shen Qian felt that the other party still had something to say, he didn't think too much about it, and instead asked: "So, those who are at the top of the Nine Heavens Ranking have already made it?"

In this Nine Heavens Contest, if it is said that Shen Qian can really pay attention to it, there are only so few people.

"Yes, Ning Zhaoyi first opened the gate of the second heaven, and then Lin Sanmo, Wu Yi and others went up..."

"Did they fight? Also, can you see Jiang Zhongjunwu's Qu Bai?"

"Battle...it seems that there is no such thing."

"Cao Yi and Sha Bi arrived one after another, but they didn't pay much attention to each other..."

"There is a female companion next to Qu Bai, she went up about 10 minutes ago..."

Several people answered in a hurry.

No fight?

Shen Qian was a little surprised.

He also took a general observation at Shenqian of Luoshenbo Manor that day. In his opinion, those top geniuses seemed to be in harmony, but in fact they were undercurrents.

Maybe it's because this is the second heaven gate, so everyone has scruples about each other?

Shen Qian thought about it, and there was only such an explanation.

Seeing that there was no more useful information, Shen Qian didn't stop any longer, and went straight to the second heaven gate.

When Shen Qian passed through the "door", the Nine Heavens Ling light on his body flashed, and then Shen Qian passed through without hindrance.

Watching Shen Qian disappear, many people at the scene subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other, many of them had complicated expressions.

"It seems that he still doesn't know..."

"Hey, who let him take advantage of it? It is said that all the golden lights of the Nine Heavens Ranking were obtained by him alone. This is the target of public criticism!"

"You said that if he notices later, will we..."

"Tsk tsk, I heard that dozens of mountains and seas are joining forces, whoever has the strength to resist, his elimination is a foregone conclusion, it's just a matter of time."

……

Shen Qian could no longer hear the discussions behind him, and he was looking at the surrounding environment after experiencing space dizziness just now.

At this time, he was on a desolate hill.

Although it feels very remote, at any rate, it is no longer a place where it is easy to get lost.

In the world of the second heaven, the aura is obviously a level stronger than that of the first heaven.

But for Shen Qian, talking is better than nothing, and there is no obvious effect.

And when Shen Qian had just entered the world of the second heaven, he had already seen a line of gold characters floating in the sky.

Judging from the gloomy sky, no one should have found the triple heaven gate.

"Entering the Triple Heavenly Gate requires five yuan and nine heavenly tokens!"

Shen Qian already had the five yuan nine-day decree.

In order to catch up with the progress, Shen Qian didn't plan to continue exploring in the second world.

At this moment, Shen Qian's ears moved, as if he heard something, he frowned and turned his head, then stomped heavily, and his figure disappeared into place with a "boom".

……

kilometers away.

In a swamp, the vitality is raging, and there are seven or eight figures fighting together.

Although the scale of the battle was small, the momentum was extremely large. The wetland stretching for several kilometers was full of gullies and ravines. The continuous sonic boom in the air was like thunder, shaking countless water splashes all around.

Looking carefully, it was six people besieging two people.

"Xiao Ye, it's the last chance to untie the sword and surrender immediately, do you really think I'm not daring to kill you?"

"It depends on how long this so-called pseudo-extreme realm of yours can last!"

Between the vertical and horizontal swords, two sneers sounded one after another.
