The heavens and the earth spun around him. When Tang Ye opened his eyes next, the scene before his eyes caused his expression to turn grim. There were over 10 brown bears around the size of the grey wolf that were staring fixedly at him, and there were a few Darkbeasts that were still bleeding and hadn’t breathed the last breaths in between Tang Ye and the brown bears. Obviously, these brown bears were enjoying the fruits of their victory. “How misfortunate!” The corners of Tang Ye’s mouth twitched, and then he didn’t even give it a thought before pulling Su Qingshi behind him. After that, he withdrew the low-grade Profound Rank sword and laughed embarrassedly as he said, “It’s an accident, a coincidence, a real coincidence. All of you go on ahead....” A wisp of a strange expression flashed in Su Qingshi’s eyes when Tang Ye pulled her behind him, and when she heard Tang Ye’s words, the corners of Su Qingshi’s mouth curled up slightly to form a wisp of a moving smile. Unfortunately, only the brown bears remained in Tang Ye’s eyes now, and he didn’t notice this gorgeous scene. It was fine when Tang Ye remained silent, yet as soon as he spoke, those brown bears instantly stood up before slapping their cattail leaf sized paws on their chests. After that, they leaped and pressed down towards Tang Ye and Su Qingshi like mountains. Tang Ye’s pupils constricted. Right when he was about to fight desperately, a sword light flashed, and then Tang Ye watched, to his astonishment, as those ninth rank Darkbeasts instantly transformed into a few pieces, causing fresh blood to spray like a fountain from all the brown bears. It was a rather magnificent scene. Bang! The brown bears fell to the ground and caused a huge cloud of dust and dirt to rise into the air. Tang Ye was jolted back to his senses by this, and he turned around to look at Su Qingshi. He saw Su Qingshi standing proudly with the green sword in hand, and she had a carefree expression while she’d recovered the confident imposing aura that she had that day. “You... you’ve recovered your strength?” Tang Ye instinctively took two steps back as he spoke. Su Qingshi nodded.“When... when did you recover?” Tang Ye was puzzled. He remembered that she’d told him that if she didn’t return to the Sword Sect, then it would be utterly impossible for her to recover from the Divine Ability that Bloodhand utilized on her. Su Qingshi looked towards the direction of Death Abyss, and she said in a low voice, “It was probably that old man who did it for me.” Tang Ye nodded when he heard this. It was understandable if it was that old man. Tang Ye didn’t know how strong that old man was, but since the old man had casually gifted away an Earth Rank technique and was living at the bottom of Death Abyss, such a person was definitely not a frail and weak old man. Suddenly, Su Qingshi turned around to gaze at Tang Ye, and she casually waved the green sword in her hand. Even though she didn’t reveal any killing intent, Tang Ye’s eyes still twitched, and he took another few steps back before he said, “You... you wouldn’t go back on your word, right?” “What do you think?” Su Qingshi spoke indifferently. Tang Ye took a deep breath, and then he shook his head and said, “You won’t.” “Why?” Tang Ye smiled and said, “Even though I’ve only known you for a short period of time, my instinct tells me that you’re not someone that’ll go back on her word. If you wanted to kill me, then you ought to have been able to while we were still at the bottom of the abyss, and even if you were unable to accomplish that, you would have at least been able to take me down with you. Since you didn’t kill me down there, then you probably wouldn’t after we’ve come back up here.” Su Qingshi gazed at Tang Ye, and Tang Ye refused to show weakness and met her gaze as well. After a short while, Su Qingshi waved her hand, and the green sword transformed into a wisp of green light that appeared beneath her feet. She said, “Remember, I’m sparing your life because you’re valuable to the Sword Sect, and if you don’t display proper value, then I won’t show mercy!” Tang Ye smiled lightly when he heard this. This woman is all bark on the outside but soft on the inside.Tang Ye seemed to have thought of something, and he withdrew the pair of bracelets the old man gave him and walked over to Su Qingshi before passing it over to her while he said, “This is yours.” Tang Ye didn’t determine the quality of the bracelets, but he knew that this pair of bracelets was definitely not ordinary. Su Qingshi glanced at the bracelets before she said, “He gave it to you!” “Then I’m giving it to you now!” Tang Ye smiled as he spoke. Su Qingshi gazed at Tang Ye for a short while before her gaze descended onto the bracelets. After a long time, she said in a low voice, “This pair of bracelets are at the mid-grade of the Earth Rank. Even our Sword Sect doesn’t have many treasures at the Earth Rank, and this is even a pair of them. Are you sure you want to give them to me?” How precious were Earth Rank treasures? No one in the southern territory knew because Earth Rank treasures were treasures that only existed in legend to most of the cultivators in the southern territory. Just as Su Qingshi had said, even large sects like the Sword Sect didn’t possess many Earth Rank treasures, and that was why she asked this question. Tang Ye was shocked as well when he heard Su Qingshi because he’d never expected that this pair of bracelets were actually at the Earth Rank! But so what about that? In next to no time, his expression recovered his calm, and he directly grabbed Su Qingshi’s hand and placed the pair of bracelets in her hand. He said. “Truthfully speaking, I’m extremely shocked in my heart, but so what? They’re yours now.” Su Qingshi gave Tang Ye a deep glance before she wore the bracelets. Instantly a wave of dazzling light erupted from her hands, and then the scene before Tang Ye’s eyes changed. In the next moment, he’s suddenly appeared in a world that was covered in golden icy crystals, and sharp golden ice crystals were everywhere within his field of vision.
