"Dead?" Tan Xiong widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

Tan Xiong knew about the lineup of experts sent into the ancient ruins by the major powers. So many experts, were they all dead?

However, the weakest among them, who was the only one who had entered the ancient ruins without the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, Xia Xinghe, what right did he have to live on?

Thinking up to this point, Tan Xiong couldn't help but take a glance at Jing San, who had exhausted all of his spiritual energy, and Chu Qingcheng, whose condition wasn't much better than Jing San's. It must be because everyone was protecting each other with their weakest cultivation that Xia Xinghe was able to escape!

Suddenly, the Gate of Extinction shrunk again, becoming the spiritual energy gate that was only 10 feet wide and tall!

"It's going to close." Xia Xinghe stared at the gate to the ancient ruins and muttered to himself.

At this moment, something strange happened!

The two figures rushed out of the gate one after the other, pathetically landing on the other side of the gate. Although they were still more than 100 feet away from Xia Xingchen, they were still in the shadow army's encirclement!

When those two figures rushed out of the gate, the gate immediately let out a "pu" sound. Then, the gate officially disappeared …

No one paid much attention to the disappearance of the gate. On the contrary, most people's eyes were on the last two people who rushed out of the ancient ruins …

Zhou Yu's hair was in a mess, his clothes were stained with blood, and his appearance was miserable. Both of his arms were covered in blood.

Finally, the ones who managed to escape the ancient ruins alive were Zhou Yu and Qu Mei. As for Ning Rong and Xiang Ru, they either died inside, or were forever sealed within the ancient ruins …

"Prepare for battle!" The moment Jing San saw Zhou Yu and Qu Mei, he immediately let out a low growl. His eyes even turned crimson at this moment. After all, Qian Si and Feng Wu had died at the hands of Zhou Yu!

Once Jing San gave the order, the hundred plus black-clothed Shadow Army soldiers immediately pulled out their daggers and assumed a battle stance. Moreover, they began to shrink their encirclement as pairs of cold eyes locked onto Zhou Yu and Qu Mei's bodies. It was as if the moment these two moved, the hundred plus black-clothed Shadow Army soldiers would charge forward without the slightest hesitation.

"Jing San, do you want to take revenge for your companions?" Zhou Yu slowly stood up and swept his gaze fearlessly over the surrounding Shadow Army. He laughed mockingly and said, "Do you think you can kill me?"

"Although I don't know how much energy you used during your fight with Ning Rong, from the looks of it, your spiritual energy should be depleted. These people should be enough to kill you!" Jing San laughed sinisterly.

Of course, Jing San's confidence did not come from the over a hundred Shadow Troops, nor was it from Tan Xiong, nor was it from him and Chu Qingcheng who had no strength to fight. Instead, it came from the unfathomable Xia Xingchen!

"Is that so?" Zhou Yu threw his head back and laughed wildly. His laughter was incredibly arrogant and confident. "Then open your eyes wide and take a good look at just who these people you speak of belong to!"

Just as Zhou Yu finished speaking, over a hundred Shadow Soldiers immediately shifted their gazes. Countless sinister gazes locked onto Jing San, including the direction of the dagger's edge. They all turned to look at Jing San!

Did the Shadow Squad change sides?

I've turned the tables, but I'm not done yet...

At this moment, Tan Xiong had unknowingly circled behind Xia Xingchen and raised his arm like lightning to support the back of Xia Xingchen's neck. The most important thing was that there was a layer of Spiritual Energy Slash wrapped around Tan Xiong's arm that seemed to be filled with cold light, and was even sharper than a weapon!
