Jiang Yuan launched a sneak attack from behind, piercing a man's chest with a single shot. Then, in a sinister tone, he said, "It seems you really don't take my oath seriously, otherwise how dare you cause trouble at my oath base!"

"apostle!"

The other three were startled; in the Southern City, the word "Apostle" was synonymous with uncrowned king.

"Lightning strike!"

Jiang Yuan was followed by Leng Yue who suddenly appeared, and a bolt of jet-black lightning pierced through the masked man's head.

"These petty scoundrels really don't take oaths seriously!" Leng Yue clapped her hands. After seeing a true ninth-level Void Spirit Realm cultivator in the Holy Spirit Temple, she was no longer afraid. Let alone these people who devoured the blood of demon gods to become powerful, she would fight even a true fifth-level Void Spirit Realm cultivator without hesitation.

"Manjusaka!"

The two survivors stared pale-faced at the woman behind them; no one was unaware of this sworn female assassin.

"I didn't even come looking for you, yet you delivered yourselves right to my door. Your service is truly impeccable!" Jiang Yuan brandished the God-Slaying Spear, his killing intent reaching its peak.

"Walk!"

The two exchanged a glance and, without any hesitation, ran off in the opposite direction.

"Jiang Yuan, I'll do it myself!"

At this moment, Liu Zhaodi made her move. She activated the stabilized energy patterns and then used her mental domain to envelop the two of them. "Not only did you insult me, but you also tried to steal my man's ring. You deserve to die!"

The spiritual energy transformed into a sharp arrow, piercing the souls of the two with two whooshing sounds. Although they didn't die, they were not far from it.

"Sparrow Feather Sword!"

Liu Zhaodi suddenly drew her sword and stabbed the black-robed man who was stunned in place to death with one stroke. Then, without looking back, she went to kill the last person.

"I'll take it!" Jiang Yuan had already lost a lot by giving up two kills, so how could he possibly give up the last one?

100x—Stealth Kill!

The God-Slaying Spear aimed directly at the last black-robed man, who was controlled by Liu Zhaodi's talent and had no chance against Jiang Yuan's attack.

Pfft!

The blood-stained spearhead pierced the black-robed man's chest, and then, filled with fear of death, stepped into another cycle of reincarnation.

"Target dead. Mark of the Dead is being generated. Acquire Petrify talent..."

"I have obtained nine pieces of Demon God's Blood!"

"Thirteen pieces of Demon God's Blood have been obtained!"

The two people Jiang Yuan killed dropped a total of twenty-two pieces of Demon God Blood. Since they were human, no core or other items were dropped.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Yuan asked Liu Zhaodi with concern.

"No, they were just about to attack me when you arrived!" Liu Zhaodi was about to hug Jiang Yuan, but suddenly realized that Leng Yue was still there, so she changed her hug to brushing dust off Jiang Yuan.

"His shoulder is a bit dirty, let me pat it off for him!"

Liu Zhaodi glanced awkwardly at Leng Yue, her face flushed red.

"I was wondering why you hadn't come back for two hours. Turns out you brought Xiao Qing... and the second young lady of the Liu family to the base!" Leng Yue knew the truth, but still used a euphemistic way of speaking.

Jiang Yuan's attention was not on the conversation between the two women, because he saw two other demonic fetuses that he had not killed. All the demonic blood power in their bodies dissipated and then merged into the sky above Nancheng.

"Could it be that only I can regain the Demon God's blood by killing the Demon Embryo? And if others kill the Demon Embryo, its power will be absorbed by the yet-to-appear Demon Lord?" Jiang Yuan analyzed the most likely answer.

"You guys chat, I'm going back to Ximen!" Leng Yue casually took off the storage ring of the target she had killed, and then left without looking back.

"Leng Yue, tell Yan Lan not to worry about me!" Jiang Yuan called out to the departing figure.

"Don't worry, I won't leave the door open for you tonight!"

"Let's go, we'll stay in the air-raid shelter tonight!"

Jiang Yuan gestured for Liu Zhaodi to follow, his mind still preoccupied with the energy pattern.

"Jiang Yuan, I have a gift for you!"

Liu Zhaodi, who was following behind, tugged at Jiang Yuan's clothes, but Jiang Yuan didn't react much because he was lost in thought.

Seeing this, Liu Zhaodi quickened her pace and walked up to Jiang Yuan. She then took off the ring on her hand and handed it to Jiang Yuan, saying, "Jiang Yuan, this lucky ring is for you. I hope that you will be as lucky as this ring in the future, with love lasting forever!"

"Wait, what did you just say?" Jiang Yuan suddenly snapped out of his daze and stared blankly at Liu Zhaodi.

"This is for you!" Liu Zhaodi said cutely, shaking the ring in her hand.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and asked again, "What did you call it just now, 'ring'?"

“A lucky ring!” Liu Zhaodi said without hesitation.

"Lucky Ring!"

Jiang Yuan was taken aback, then took Liu Zhaodi's ring and gave it an appraisal.

Lucky Ring (Chosen One): One of the five pieces of the Goddess of Luck set, it comes with the attribute of luck.

Note: This item has a naming rights effect (it cannot be transferred or used; the current user is Liu Zhaodi).

Lucky Ring, Quality: Mythical. Luck is everywhere; it can change the course of your destiny in ways you can't even imagine.

"this!"

Jiang Yuan even forgot about the energy pattern, because the appearance of this lucky ring was too sudden. He didn't expect that one of the five pieces of the Goddess of Fortune would suddenly appear here.

"What's wrong? Do you not like the women's version?" Liu Zhaodi examined the lucky ring carefully twice, then had a sudden inspiration and said, "It's okay, I'll get you a big gold chain when I get home, and then you can just put this ring on it!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"What, do you like big gold chains?" Liu Zhaodi asked.

"Look what I have in my hand!"
