After hearing Iron Fist’s words, Scorpion slowly rose to his feet, though doubts still lingered in his heart.

Yet things were not nearly as simple as I had imagined. Amid the pitch-black, surging flames, a blurry dark figure plummeted from the sky. I drew a breath and summoned the last shred of my strength to activate my Dragon Sight. The figure before me left me utterly stunned—it was none other than the Demon King, Jing Tian.

Naturally, the high price of potions was also related to the way they were sold in the shops. The most powerful healing potion restored only five thousand health points at a time. For players with more than ten thousand health points, this was sheer torture; they had to drink at least three bottles to fully recover. Ordinary people could never understand such agony.

Crimson energy rolled across the earth like a raging sea, sweeping everything into its midst and reducing it to fragments. Even I, suspended in midair, could already feel the sensation of destruction and devouring that consumed all things.

Lin was confused. However, since the other party was in no hurry, there was no need for her to rush either. Besides, hurrying would not help. She had originally wanted to ask about it, but after thinking for a few seconds, she went to sleep instead.

“Looks like there’s nothing left for us to do.” The Sea Prince, now transformed into a woman, glanced at the situation and shrugged. Old Ox nodded as well, retreating to one side and leaving the battlefield to the four of them. He went off to watch the spectacle.

If there had been only one, it would have been fine. With two, several percentage points were bound to be lost. Just as Lin was thinking this, it seemed that the heavens—or rather, the GM—had taken pity on her. One of the monsters suddenly slowed down.

When he looked up, he saw Xia Yenuo secretly watching Hao Meng. Her expression held both displeasure and a trace of heartache. Though Xia Yenuo was always bickering with Hao Meng, she truly cared about her.

Yang Yaotian finished making the human-skin mask. Although I felt somewhat reluctant, I still put it on. At that moment, A Xue and the others were gathered around me.

“Aunt, Mother told Chu before we came that I should obey you in everything. But this time, Aunt, you must let your nephew have a proper look around Luoyang. It is my first time visiting such a prosperous place.” The sturdy young man chimed in with a grin.

A scream rang out, only to vanish almost immediately. From the tornado, chunks of flesh drenched in spiritual blood fell to the ground, while viscera spilled everywhere.

Suddenly, her heart gave a start. The Underworld Emperor’s gaze seemed to drift toward her. Bi Yuying’s delicate lips moved faintly, and the words “Imperial Lord” rolled repeatedly between her lips, almost escaping aloud.

Before I could take care of it, Kuan Kuan ran off with her gift, proudly knocking on the doors of her two older brothers.

“Although I am no longer a member of the angel race, angels still cannot enter the water. If our wings touch water, we can no longer soar through the air.” With a faint blush, Fanxing said this. She actually rather wanted to see the seabed, but unfortunately, she could not swim.

Le Yi looked at me worriedly, and I responded with unwavering trust. A man’s trust might sound laughable, but it was always founded on definite evidence and reason.

Murong Qingran was disgusted to the extreme, yet she remained polite on the surface and gave a slight bow. “Thank you, Eunuch Gao.”

At that moment, elsewhere—in the command room of the Wailing Wall—the military’s supreme commander sat blankly in a chair. His expression was as lifeless as a corpse, and a circular metal collar encircled his neck. Soya stood before him with a cold smile.

“Charge!” With a great shout, the honor guard set down their instruments, drew their long swords, and vanished without a trace.

“We haven’t seen our little brother in so long. We want to go visit him.” Yuanyuan looked at me with bright, sparkling eyes and spoke earnestly.

Hearing the gurgling in her throat, I knew she had swallowed the water. After drinking it, she gradually regained consciousness, wrapped both arms around me, and began sucking desperately at my mouth. A huge mouthful of water went straight down her throat, and the force of her sucking made me extremely uncomfortable.

Mo Yichen seemed to remember something. Zhong Qing had not driven to work today, and getting home later would probably be inconvenient, especially since her company was far away.

He had even told her that he did not need any formal status; as long as he could be with her, that was enough. But now she was increasingly binding him to her in the role of a wife, stirring emotions in his heart.

“Me?” I blinked. The sesame-and-walnut pudding was probably just an excuse; summoning me there was the real purpose. Could something truly supernatural have happened?

“Th-then why did you assault your superior?” Dongfang Ruxue asked, trembling. She did not want to continue kissing him, nor did she want to see him suffer so terribly. Yet she was also deeply curious and wanted to know his story. She gently rested her head against his arm and tightly embraced his powerful waist.

“What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and pay your respects to your senior!” Fang Hua shouted sternly.

“Shishi, you have grown into such a beautiful young woman.” A sharp glint flashed through the man’s eyes as he reached out to seize Jiang Shishi by the arm.

Now the two of us depended on each other for survival. We were her support, and she relied on me most of all. With her uncle at her side, she would not be afraid. Only under my protection would she have the courage to survive in this terrifying world.

The paramedics examined the injuries of both people. Jin Yan’s face was deathly pale, and she clutched Li Yu’s arm with all her strength, her body still trembling with fear.

A sudden shock seized my heart. Before I could dodge, pain shot through my arm. A powerful force knocked it aside, and a bullet tore through it.

Inside this dark chamber, there was no way to identify objects by sound, and there was not enough light. Li Nan and the others were therefore no different from blind men.

Earlier, in the bathroom, Fan Chen had nearly swollen Wang Ting’s lips before finally venting his frustration.

It had to be understood that rogue cultivators had always been a combative lot. Their impressive cultivation had been forged through every punch and kick they had exchanged. Only by pushing themselves in this way could they draw out their own potential. Otherwise, they would never have attained their present level of strength.

In an instant, Li Nan could not help laughing. Clearly, he had been toyed with by this parrot the entire time.

Yun Jingrong beckoned and produced a tube of medical medicine, hurriedly injecting it into Shi Mengmeng. Yet she soon discovered that it had no effect at all; the fever did not lessen in the slightest.

His mother had willingly imprisoned herself in the Cold Nether Secret Palace, spending her entire life refining innate water spirit crystals for one of the seven great martial realms and the Water Immortal Sacred Land.

The people inside seemed not to have heard Old Zhou’s shouts. Under the circumstances, Old Zhou did not dare say anything more and could only wait outside.

Shangguan Shuang and Yun Jingrong, meanwhile, had to obey Li Yan’s orders absolutely. This layered system of management granted authority to those below while also making administration more convenient.

Ye Xing’s gaze sharpened. He pulled Jun Xueyi to his side, while Chen Yan and Li Cheng hurried over as well. The four of them stood ready for battle, and that powerful aura soon entered their perception.
