In this suffocating and tense atmosphere, Yang Li was the first to break the silence.

He leaned against the ground, his posture seemingly relaxed, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the black blindfold and fell on the two anxious people.

"Since we can't leave for the time being, why not have a good chat now?" His voice was steady, which was out of tune with the stagnant air around him.

As he spoke, he pulled out an antique leather wine jug from somewhere as if by magic, tilted his head back and took a sip, his Adam's apple rolling as he let out a satisfied sigh.

"I know you have a lot of questions, and coincidentally, I have some too."

But at this moment, Hu Qing and Gu Yang's minds were already occupied by the safety of Commander Li and others, so they had no time to listen to these words.

Gu Yang suddenly raised his head, his eyes red, staring at the invisible, light-distorting space barrier around him.

He didn't answer, but instead concentrated all his strength into his right fist and growled, "Split the Sky!"

The sonic boom suddenly exploded!

Gu Yang's fist, packed with the power to collapse mountains and split rocks, smashed into the void.

When the first punch landed, the space ahead was like glass that had been hit hard, making a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound, and spider-web-like cracks spread instantly.

He didn't stop, and threw the second and third punches one after another, each one more powerful and violent than the last!

Finally, amidst continuous explosions, the space was completely shattered, revealing an irregular black hole.

Inside the cave was a deep, deadly void that seemed to swallow everything.

At the edge, countless crystal-clear yet dangerous space fragments were like broken mirrors, slowly rotating and cutting around the black hole, making a slight hissing sound.

Gu Yang was breathing heavily, the energy in his body was slightly disordered due to excessive consumption. He stared at the entrance of the void, ready to jump in and try to find the coordinates of Commander Li and others in the endless void.

"Are you crazy?"

Yang Li sensed the violent shattering of space, and his calm expression suddenly changed, and he stood up abruptly.

He quickly raised his right hand, rubbed his index finger and thumb lightly, and snapped his fingers crisply.

Om-!

An invisible yet powerful force spread out with him as the center.

The raging and expanding void hole seemed to be forcibly held down by an invisible giant hand. The broken edges began to glow and wriggle inward to heal.

Those rotating and flying space fragments, as if time was reversed, flew back one by one and re-embedded themselves in their original positions.

But within a few breaths, the terrifying black hole disappeared without a trace, leaving only slightly fluctuating ripples in space, proving the thrilling scene just now.

"If you enter this void, you will be truly lost!"

Yang Li's tone was filled with a rare harshness, "Each spatial cage created by this 'death chess' is independent and isolated from each other.

Even if you were lucky enough not to be torn apart by the turbulent void, there would be no way you could find them!"

Hope was ruthlessly extinguished.

After hearing this, Hu Qing and Gu Yang's bodies stiffened, and the last bit of their strength seemed to be drained away, and they sat down on the ground powerlessly.

Gu Yang suddenly stretched out his hand, snatched the wine jug that Yang Li was still holding, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

"Cough... cough... hiccups..." The pungent and bitter liquid rushed into his throat, far beyond his imagination, choking him and causing him to cough violently and almost vomit.

He angrily threw the wine jug back to Yang Li, cursing, "What a lousy wine! It's so bitter! It's so hard to drink! Is this what you of the Xin Clan drink?"

His cursing was more of a kind of frustration and frustration that had nowhere to vent.

Yang Li caught the wine jug steadily, without any disgust, and tilted his head back to take another slow sip.

He savored it carefully, as if it was not a strong liquor that would burn his intestines and throat, but a delicious nectar.

"Is it bitter?" he asked calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the black cloth.

"I don't think so. Only this feeling can make me...reflect on the long and heavy history of the starting salary class."

Hu Qing had no intention of evaluating any wine. He grabbed Yang Li's sleeve and asked anxiously:

"What should we do now? Just sit there and chat? Commander Li and the others..." His voice was filled with anxiety that was hard to conceal.

Yang Li gently brushed Hu Qing's hand away, and his tone returned to his usual calm tone:

"Just wait. As soon as the battle ends over there, I will immediately dismantle the formation and let you out.

I just don’t know…who died in the end on their side.”

His words were calm, almost cruel.

"One of you has to die? You Xin Clan are so fucking cold-blooded!"

Gu Yang's anger was ignited once again when he heard this. He stood up and shouted, "Don't you care about the life and death of your companions?"

"Cold-blooded?" Yang Li turned towards Gu Yang, and the "gaze" under the black cloth seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

"They are just one of the thousands of branches of my Xin Clan.

If there is a loss, there are naturally other branches to make up for it. Speaking of cold-bloodedness..."

He paused, his voice growing colder. "No matter how cold-blooded you are, it's still far better than the bad habits that are deeply ingrained in you humans."

"Who are you calling bad?"

Gu Yang was furious. He stood up suddenly, and the energy around him fluctuated faintly again. "At least we won't invade other people's homes like you do!"

Faced with Gu Yang's anger, Yang Li was silent for a moment.

Then, he made a move that neither of them expected—

He raised his hand and slowly took off the black cloth that had been covering his eyes.

The black cloth fell away, revealing the scene underneath. It wasn't the expected eyes, but two hollow, completely healed hollows of flesh!

The skin at the edge was twisted and contracted, covering the eye socket. There was nothing inside, which looked extremely terrifying.

He looked at Gu Yang with his "empty eyes" and said in a low and clear voice:

“No matter how cold-blooded we are, we won’t become greedy and openly snatch the formation plates just because we see someone selling them.

Unable to snatch it, he became angry and mobilized the army to capture the people. After catching them..."

There was a hint of cold hatred in his voice.

"They used severe punishments and tortured people in every way just to force out what they wanted, even refusing to spare a single eye."

Looking at the silent but powerful proof on Yang Li's face, Gu Yang's anger seemed to be extinguished by a basin of ice water, choking in his throat and unable to utter a word.

His face flushed red, and he finally turned his head away dejectedly. He knew that what Yang Li said was... the truth.

Some people in the Great Zhou Dynasty really acted like animals.

Hu Qing suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at Yang Li's empty eyes, his doubts deepening:

"You... since you possess such a powerful strength, how did you get caught by them?

Besides, with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to restore these eyes, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Li's lips curled up into a slightly sarcastic arc. He picked up the wine jug, took another sip, and then replied:

"Do you think it's so easy for us aliens to set foot on your continent, which is the focus of your 'will'?"

He stretched out his free hand and lifted the hem of his wide black robe, revealing his strong and muscular abdomen.
