Gong Qi did not expect Gong Che to know martial arts, and even more did not expect that he would dare to fight back at this time. Thus, he ruthlessly chopped at the rope!
Aren't you nervous about this rope? If you dare to kill me, I will cut this rope!
This series of actions only took a few seconds. After Gong Che shook off the guard, he saw this scene and his pupils shrank!
"No!"
Gong Qi's vision blurred, and in the next second, he discovered that someone had actually caught the edge of his blade!
Gong Qi was stunned. Without waiting for him to react, Gong Che struck out with his palm, and Gong Qi fell off the cliff like a kite with a broken string.
The rest of the people were taken care of by Gong Che's men in a few moves. Only then did Gong Che throw away the blade, his palm covered in blood.
"Your Highness!" Someone hurriedly ran over to bandage him and advised in a low voice, "Your Highness, this place is vast, difficult to attack and difficult to defend. Today, there will definitely be a bitter battle. Why don't we retreat to a safe place?"
"No need!"
Gong Che's face was pale. He took the gauze from his hand and hastily bandaged it himself. The wind from the mountain stream blew his long hair, and his gentle eyes were exceptionally calm at this time.
"I want to wait here for her to come back. Right here, not a single step away."
GongYimo finally reached the fourth floor. Even with a flashlight, the visibility was less than three meters. Moreover, there were weeds and trees everywhere, making it impossible for people to step on them. The only thing that was worth gratifying was that the fragrance of the Wood Silk Brocade was even stronger. GongYimo could not help but think that although it was said that there was only Wood Silk Brocade on the sixth floor, there might be some on the fourth floor as well?
Thus, she decided to look for it nearby. Legend has it that the flower was red, and its appearance was in the shape of layers of discs. The flower was very large, so logically speaking, it should be very easy to find.
GongYimo was afraid that there would be something like a python here, so she calmed her Qi and concentrated, being especially careful.
From time to time, she could hear the cries of unknown insects. There was no wind here, but it was exceptionally cold. GongYimo felt that she was a little numb from the cold.
Although the protruding part of the fourth layer also looked like a flight of stairs, it extended a lot deeper into the cliff. It was pitch black inside, and no one knew where it led to. GongYimo couldn't help but wonder if there was a path that led directly to the sixth layer.
Otherwise, when she was climbing outside, even if she had enough tools, the slightest mistake would result in her being smashed to pieces.
GongYimo was overjoyed. She walked towards the depths of the mountain step by step. She used a sword to open a path. She realized that the vegetation was gradually decreasing, and there were more and more exposed rocks. Furthermore, it was heading downwards. GongYimo was overjoyed. It seemed that this path could really lead downwards! His only regret was that he didn't find any Wood Brocade along the way. It seemed that he really had to go down to the sixth level.
At this moment … she suddenly heard some movement. When she came back to her senses, she immediately ran out!
Soon, the black bats moved out. If they were ordinary bats, it would have been fine. However, GongYimo saw with her own eyes that the birds that were flying earlier had turned into white bones in an instant! These bats had mutated. They actually ate meat directly?!
That sharp cry made GongYimo dizzy. There shouldn't have been any sound, but she heard it. Moreover, the sound waves made her want to vomit.
She quietly hid behind a rock and adjusted her breathing. She was secretly glad that she had trusted her intuition. If she hadn't run just now, she would definitely have been injured.
Just as she was rejoicing, she felt a sharp pain on her fingertips!
It turned out to be a dark green centipede. It was more than ten centimeters long. Only the spot on its head was bright red!
Damn it, this thing's poison was definitely not small!
GongYimo deftly killed the centipede. Then, she cut open the area where she was bitten. She released the poisonous blood and swallowed an antidote pill.
When she came down, she had sprinkled some insect repellent powder on her body. She didn't know why the animals here were so powerful. The powder didn't have much effect!
It seemed that she still had to be more careful. This was the Nine Steps Divine Staircase. It was also called the Nine Layers of Hell by the local herb gatherers. It was obvious that it wasn't a good place to enter.

Groups and groups of people had died beside the altar. This was the sacred place of Dai Yu State. It was a place that shouldn't be stained with dust. However, Gong Che had dyed this place red with blood, all because he was waiting for one person.
His white robe was dyed with blood, like blooming red plum blossoms. The number of people Gong Che had killed today was much more than the number of people he had killed in his two lives combined. The feeling of his blade cutting open the flesh of his enemies made him feel very uncomfortable!
However, he couldn't stop, because he had to guard this place and wait for Mo'er to return.
"Your Highness, let's go! The next group of enemies will be here soon. If you don't leave, you will be in danger! "
Gong Che's hand was trembling. He loosened his grip and the sword fell to the ground. The corpses on the ground were very eye-catching. The gauze on his palm was once again soaked with blood. Drops of blood stained his pale face. That gentle jade-like face was now frozen. There was an indescribable chill.
"I'm not leaving."
His voice was a little hoarse.
"This place is a little far from the palace. If they come here, they can relieve some of the pressure on the palace. Most importantly …"
He looked at the cliff. "I have to wait for her."
At this time, a large group of soldiers and horses had killed their way up the mountain. Gong Che's side only had a few hundred people left. The situation became tense again.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Hearing this, Gong Che suddenly looked in another direction. A faint smell of medicine wafted over. There was a movement in the forest and a few birds flew out.
Following a long whistle, Qiu Xing Feng, whose robe was whiter than snow, rushed over with a group of people in green. He shouted as he ran.
"Who dares to hurt my grand disciple?"
Gong Che's lips curled into a smile. Previously on Yun Ding Mountain, he had spent a year to form an alliance with Qiu Zhong Chan. Now, it was time for them to help.
With the help of the people on Yun Ding Mountain, the two sides were evenly matched. Who would emerge victorious would depend on who was favored by the heavens.
The sky gradually darkened. Gong Che reached out to push away the wet hair in front of his eyes. His fingertips were stained with blood on his white forehead. There was a kind of extreme fragility and an extreme demonic beauty.
He completely threw away the restraints of the Crown Prince and followed his heart. A subtle pleasure gradually rose in his chest. He thought, he liked the martial world.

At this time, GongYimo's situation was not good.
She was a little dizzy and her body was gradually losing strength. After seeing those scary bats, GongYimo gave up on walking inside the mountain. Compared to those strange creatures, she felt that it was safer to climb the mountain. But in the process of climbing, she gradually found that something was wrong …
Her hands were sweating. Fortunately, she was wearing a pair of climbing gloves. Otherwise, she would have slipped down.
This was not the most serious thing. The most serious thing was that she was seeing double.
The sky was completely dark. The torchlight hat on her head became the only source of light.
