Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

Underground, the four people, riding in the ship formed by [Yao Guang], slowly rose in silence. Baili Pangpang looked up at the still distant cave entrance and said with some worry, "Isn't this speed too slow? Look, the lava below is almost getting closer."

As Su Ming fought, the magma below became more active, constantly approaching the cave entrance.

"Fatty, did you ship your Yao Guang last night? Why is it so slow?" Lin Qiye asked.

Baili Pangpang felt the power of Yaoguang. The reason for the slow speed was that the weight of the four people was still too heavy.

And he was the heaviest of them all.

Baili Pangpang scratched his head and said with a smile, "I don't know either, maybe Yaoguang isn't feeling well today."

"Tch, so what if you're as fat as a pig?" Shen Qingzhu showed no respect for Baili Pangpang.

"Shen Qingzhu, how can you talk like that? I'm just a bit muscular, but fat is not a thing for me." Baili Pangpang waved his hand.

Shen Qingzhu squinted and said with a smile, "How about we throw one down? Four people are too heavy."

"Alright." Lin Qiye was always eager for a good show.

"Then who should we throw it at?" Instructor Hong asked.

"My idea is to kick down the heaviest and most useless person. That way, the speed will definitely increase a lot." Shen Qingzhu didn't seem to care who it was.

Lin Qiye nodded: "Indeed, Yao Guang is bearing too much weight, so we need to be gentler."

Instructor Hong nodded.

Baili Pangpang knew who they were talking about, but they were just joking. He laughed and said, "I am the master of Yao Guang. Even if you throw me out, I won't be able to get out. You'll have to find someone else. How about throwing Lin Qiye out? He was just about to fight the Flame Vein Earth Dragon. He'll definitely have a way."

"I think we should throw Shen Qingzhu," Instructor Hong said.

Everyone treated the matter as a joke, but Shen Qingzhu said seriously, "You are the heaviest in the entire Yao Guang. If you go down, we will be more confident in escaping. Moreover, you can hand over the authority of Yao Guang to me, which will reduce your worries."

Hearing Shen Qingzhu's utterly uncompromising words, the three of them were somewhat angry. As Night Watchmen, how could they abandon their teammates?

"Shen Qingzhu, I was just joking. Don't take it too seriously. Stop talking about it," Lin Qiye said in a low voice.

"Shen Qingzhu, why don't you just jump down? Your speed would definitely increase," Baili Pangpang said, seething with anger.

"Alright, watch out for your surroundings, be careful of Ma Yitian's sneak attack." Instructor Hong quickly interrupted the awkward atmosphere.

"I'm just telling the truth. Have you noticed that the lava is moving faster and faster?" Shen Qingzhu murmured softly.

"Shut up," Lin Qiye said angrily.

For the rest of the flight, no one spoke; everything fell silent.

A strange, blurry black shadow emerged from the wall and crashed into Baili Pangpang, but Hong Hao, who was prepared, held his straight knife in front of him to block it.

The black shadow that had been flung away merged back into the rock wall.

"It's Ma Yitian."

Immediately afterwards, Ma Yitian appeared and disappeared from the rock wall repeatedly, dodging everyone's protection several times, and crashed head-on into Yaoguang.

The light beneath them vanished without a trace in an instant.

Hong Hao reacted the fastest. With his superb arm strength and keen intuition, he grabbed a protrusion on the rock wall as he fell, stabilizing himself.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Lin Qiye's clothes tightly with his other hand.

Lin Qiye felt the power coming from above, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that every second at this moment was crucial.

So, he used all his strength to grab Shen Qingzhu and Baili Pangpang tightly with both hands, keeping them steadily suspended in mid-air.

"It will take some time for the light to condense."

Baili Pangpang's will and mental strength are trying their best to gather the power of Yao Guang.

But this takes time, and time is exactly what they lack right now.

Ma Yitian's figure reappeared from the rock wall. Looking at them, he said with a smile, "The lava is coming soon. Go down and be buried with Lord Yiyu."

As soon as he finished speaking, half of his body turned into black light and surged into the rock wall. Ten earth spikes suddenly burst out and rushed straight towards the four people.

Seeing this situation, Shen Qingzhu snapped her fingers, and the ten ground spikes seemed to enter a swamp, their speed instantly decreasing before they fell into the lava.

An explosion then rang out next to Ma Yitian, but he was unharmed.

Baili Pangpang, who was being pulled along, took out a Soul-Severing Blade from his pocket and handed it to Shen Qingzhu.

"This one targets the soul."

The rock began to crack under Instructor Hong's grip, making a "crackling" sound.

At this critical moment of life and death, Shen Qingzhu's voice broke the silence: "We can control Yao Guang's power. If we give up Baili Pangpang, perhaps the rocks can hold on for a little longer."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qiye's face turned ashen, a flash of unbelievable rage crossing his eyes: "I will not abandon any of you. Let me think..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qingzhu actually picked up the Soul-Severing Blade.

Just as Lin Qiye was shocked and was about to stop her, Shen Qingzhu's actions took everyone by surprise.

He didn't swing the Soul-Severing Blade at anyone, but instead plunged it fiercely into the rock wall in front of him. Using the force of that instant, he kicked off the rock wall, his body shooting out like an arrow, instantly breaking free from Lin Qiye's control and flying to the side.

Shen Qingzhu inserted the ghost-spirit shard she had stolen from Instructor Hong into her body, facing the terrifyingly hot sea of ​​fire below, and slowly said, "Damn it, Su Ming, don't lie to me. Otherwise, I won't let you go even as a ghost."

Long before entering the ground, during his conversation with Su Ming, he knew what he should do, but a series of changes occurred, leading to some discrepancies between what Su Ming had said and what he had learned.

As for why he wanted others to hate him, it was simply to reduce their psychological pressure regarding his sacrifice. Otherwise, if they encountered his ancient god church, they might not be able to bring themselves to harm him.

With her strength reaching the peak of the Sichuan Realm, Shen Qingzhu controlled the Forbidden Ruins and quickly rushed towards Ma Yitian, who was preparing an attack.

The two sank into the lava together, and a violent blast wave from the explosion propelled all three of them to the surface.

Lin Qiye, Instructor Hong, and Baili Pangpang on the ground recalled Shen Qingzhu's actions and realized that the arrogant Shen Qingzhu had been acting all along, just for this moment of sacrifice.

......

The awarding ceremony began the following morning.

Standing on the training platform, Yuan Gang said with a heavy expression, "For this rescue operation, we have decided to award every new recruit who participates with a 'Spark Badge'."

This time, we also lost a soldier who chose to sacrifice his life to protect his comrades and instructors...

His name is Shen Qingzhu.

Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, and the new recruits all looked troubled and heavy-hearted.

Meanwhile, Su Ming was already looking forward to the next time he would meet Shen Qingzhu.
