[ wow guys i give you a chance to bitch out the system!!!
by the time it gets to limbo, everyone is more or less treading water in blood - the room is filling rapidly, and the viscous state of the blood tears makes it difficult to move. in fact, the shortest member of the party may find themselves being swept under --
but in a moment, all of the water just disappears.
the glass case underneath the group that held the xin mo sword is now open; the sword, pulsating an ominous black qi, practically begs to be picked up. and when one of them grabs the handle, a couple of things happen.

I understand what LZ is feeling. I’ve been reading through this novel lately, it’s so damn long, long and pumped full of filler.
I’ve never seen villains with a lower IQ than the ones in this book, a model example of ‘cannon fodder has an IQ of 40 and the protagonist has an IQ of 60’, it’s like the author went on a 24-hour face-slapping craze without losing steam. Most of the female protagonists are stupid flower vases, and you don’t even push down Liu Mingyan, the only righteous one? You don’t push down the rightful empress, are you fucking kidding me? If Airplane has ever had a girlfriend, I’ll eat this book raw.
And the writing style is incomparably terrible, each time a woman appears it’s “her soft chest trembled”, trembling my ass, you could at least try a different phrase, a different word would be fine ah? Serious question, who taught Airplane this elementary-schooler level writing?
At least the portrayal of the male lead was alright, the transformation from innocent and upstanding to hateful and sinister was detailed and natural, debts of kindness and grudges were paid off, those who should have been killed were mercilessly killed. Seeing the soft and whiny type of male lead just makes me want to slap him in the face. Bing-ge deserves that ‘ge’, he’s cool enough and blackened enough, I like it, haha!
[ guess you aren't the only one with feelings about proud immortal demon way, guys!
all of a sudden, the xin mo sword starts to shake, and the black energy curling off of it turns red. it forces the beholder to slash through the air - and a portal opens, as all three of you tumble through it, falling face first into the snow just outside of the lodge. you're still just as injured as you were in that other place, but you're back in your own clothes, and any weapons you found or magic you had is gone now.
and yet, as you sit up and try to get your bearings, you might hear a very, very familiar ping. ]
