Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

Chapter 227 Reclaiming the Divine Pearl

[Captain Chen is indeed ruthless! I even like his personality!]

I'm really curious, does this count as manslaughter? Can a lawyer from D University explain this?

No! This was definitely self-defense and an act of emergency avoidance!

[Didn't he say he still possessed tens of thousands of national treasures? Now that he's dead, won't those artifacts disappear again?]

[Not necessarily. Tens of thousands of cultural relics would definitely require a very large warehouse. Please don't doubt the capabilities of the Embroidered Uniform Guard; if they have it, they will definitely be able to find it!]

[Hilarious! What kind of strength do the Embroidered Uniform Guards have? If they were really that powerful, would they all be watching Captain Chen's live stream right now?]

Hey buddy upstairs, watch your words. The internet isn't above the law. Be careful the secret police don't come knocking on your door and invite you in for tea...

In the live stream footage.

Guan Yunlong was tightly bound by blood vines. In no time, he was crushed into pieces in extreme pain. His internal organs and blood flowed down the blood vines, pouring all over Yan Xuefei below.

This also made Yan Xuefei look even more ferocious, evil, and terrifying.

It is said that no tomb raider ever dies a good death, and none of them have a good ending.

This saying proved absolutely true for Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan; they both died tragically, one more gruesome than the other!

As for Yan Xuefei, she's just a dead person too!

"We've obtained the Divine Pearl!"

When Chen Yibai looked at Yan Xuefei below, his first thought wasn't to run away, but rather to figure out how to get the Divine Pearl from her.

Because the Divine Pearl is the key to leaving this place!

However, since the Divine Pearl is inside Yan Xuefei's body, the only option left is to use a violent method to dissect her body!

Before Chen Yibai could even make a move.

Yan Xuefei stood below, her head held high, staring intently at Chen Yibai through the hole in the middle with her empty eyes. At the same time, she waved her arms, manipulating the blood vines fused into her body, which, like giant pythons, crawled up through the hole.

Before these blood vines withered, they were as easy to cut as melons and vegetables, but after they withered, their density must have increased. As for whether they could still be cut so easily, Chen Yibai wasn't really sure.

However, faced with these blood vines attacking him head-on, Chen Yibai had no way out but to grit his teeth and face them head-on, to try his hand first!

Keng!

When the crimson ancient sword struck the withered blood vine, it instantly produced a clang, just like an axe striking a wooden stake.

Fortunately, although the resistance was great, the sharpness of the crimson ancient sword allowed it to cut the vines in two. However, it was not an easy task. When faced with several other blood vines attacking at the same time, it was impossible to maintain a continuous attack. It was best to retreat quickly and stop while it was ahead.

Although this roundabout tactic is feasible, each blood vine is more than ten meters long. Even if one or two meters are cut off, it's like trimming a fingernail, and it won't cause any real damage.

If you cut it off section by section, it's like a protracted battle, extremely risky. If you miss even once and get entangled by the blood vine, it won't be so easy to break free.

They'll definitely end up like Guan Yunlong!

Therefore, Chen Yibai had no choice but to readjust his tactics and focus his attention on Yan Xuefei, who was right in the middle.

The energy of these withered blood vines must all come from the Divine Pearl within Yan Xuefei's body.

As the saying goes, "Strike the snake at its vital spot, and capture the king first!"

Just then, Yan Xuefei changed tactics, waving her arms and manipulating the blood vines to envelop her from both sides like a giant net, leaving a gap in the middle!

Chen Yibai wasn't sure if this was a trap, but he couldn't care less now. He seized the opportunity and charged straight at Yan Xuefei.

Whether it works or not, it all comes down to this final gamble!

As Chen Yibai charged forward, the blood vines immediately closed in from both sides, enveloping him in the middle and intertwining with each other, tightening their grip.

One sword!

Knowing that he only had this one chance, Chen Yibai gripped the crimson ancient sword tightly, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to stab Yan Xuefei in the throat!

From the live stream's first-person perspective, a close-up shot clearly shows the sword piercing Yan Xuefei's throat.

If Yan Tianjiu saw this scene, her heart would surely bleed, after all, this was her most beloved biological daughter, whom she had painstakingly raised and cared for for twenty years.

Having a sword stabbed in the throat is probably more painful than watching something else stab you in a different spot...

But Yan Tianjiu doesn't need to be upset, because from the moment Yan Xuefei entered the Blood Vine Coffin under the guidance of the Divine Pearl, she had already become a sacrifice.

So when Chen Yibai stabbed her, not a drop of blood flowed from Yan Xuefei's throat, and her lifeless face showed no change in expression. Only her hollow eyes seemed to flash with a hint of triumphant cunning.

Chen Yibai realized that Yan Xuefei was deliberately exposing herself to him to lure him over, and then manipulating the blood vines to lay down a giant net!

At this point, the giant net woven by the blood vines had been formed, making it difficult for even a fly to escape.

Seeing that he had entered a deadly trap he had set for himself, Chen Yibai remained completely calm.

Not only was he not flustered, Chen Yibai even slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "You really thought that I risked rushing over just to stab you?"

Chen Yibai gripped the sword hilt with both hands and pressed the crimson ancient sword that had pierced Yan Xuefei's throat down sharply!

The sharp, crimson ancient sword pierced directly down Yan Xuefei's throat and into her stomach, almost cutting her in two!

The scene was extremely violent. Although there was no blood, the internal organs, including the large and small intestines, were all protruding from the stomach. This was more cruel than blood. Anyone with a weak mentality might be traumatized for life after watching just one second of this scene.

But the violence didn't stop there.

After slicing open the stomach along the throat, Chen Yibai's other hand reached straight inside...

[Holy crap! What is Captain Chen doing? Is he going to rip out someone's heart and lungs?]

To be honest, Captain Chen is really ruthless. Anyone who doesn't have some kind of erectile dysfunction probably wouldn't be able to bring themselves to do this to such a beautiful woman!

[I can't watch anymore, I can't watch anymore, if I keep watching I'll have nightmares tonight!]

[So exciting! This is totally my cup of tea, I want to watch... I love watching...]

However, the violent scene didn't last long before the moderators quickly blurred it out.

Just as the live stream footage was blurred out, Chen Yibai was seen pulling something out of Yan Xuefei's body.

As for what it is, since the key details are blurred out, it's impossible to see, so we can only speculate...
