Bi Linglong was both surprised and delighted. Wiping away her tears, she reached out to check him over: "Are you really alright?"

"It's alright. Death saw that such a beautiful woman was heartbroken for me, so he couldn't bear to take me back and let me go." Zu An was secretly scared. Luckily, it was Bi Linglong who kissed him. If it had been Mi Li who kissed him, would he have been kicked instead?

Bi Linglong burst into laughter through her tears, and couldn't help but punch his chest with her little fists: "You're so annoying~"

Mi Li rolled her eyes, thinking, "Men's words are truly deceitful."

Seeing the two flirting, Zhao Ruizhi's face twitched in the distance, but he was even more shocked by something else: "How could you not be dead?"

He showed no mercy when he made his move. Although he was far from his peak condition due to his injury, he was still more than capable of killing Zaun.

"I am the chosen one of Heaven, protected by all the gods and Buddhas, how could I be easily killed?" Zu'an boasted loudly, but secretly he felt a little guilty.

He was lucky to survive. The mermaid he met in the water had a scale that looked familiar, very similar to the jade pendant that Shang Liuyu had given him.

In that instant, he had many guesses, and as if possessed, he put the scale into his pocket.

Unexpectedly, it also had the effect of resisting a fatal blow, and its effect was obviously more powerful than the one given by Shang Liuyu, even able to block the emperor's attack.

Of course, it was also thanks to the fact that his body had been tempered three times by the Primordial Chaos Scripture that it was exceptionally strong; otherwise, even if someone else had this thing, they would most likely still have been killed by the aftershocks of the emperor's palm strike.

Upon hearing his answer, He Li and the others were immediately astonished, staring at him with suspicion and uncertainty, wondering if this guy was truly the chosen one.

You have to understand that since arriving in the secret realm, this guy has pulled off countless incredible comebacks, completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even a recognized genius could never do this.

"You bastard, how dare you claim to be ordained by Heaven before me!" Zhao Ruizhi's gaze fell on the broken scale in his hand, and he finally remembered something, "The heart-protecting scale of the mermaid royal family!"

Anger points from Zhao Hao: +444 +444 +444...

However, he also had some doubts. What was wrong with this guy? He had so many amazing skills and techniques, as well as the sacrificial pawn given to him by the chief priest, and the heart-protecting scale of the mermaid royal family. Moreover, it was not an ordinary royal family member. The one who could withstand his full-force attack would have to be at the queen level. How did he know these people?

However, none of that matters anymore. Such an unstable factor should naturally be eliminated as soon as possible.

Zhao Ruizhi's body shone with golden light: "Today I will show you what destiny is."

He reached out and gently clenched his fist. At the same time, a giant golden hand appeared in the void and reached out to grab Zaun. Obviously, if Zaun was gripped firmly, he would be crushed into a pulp.

Mi Li snorted coldly, flicked her sleeve, and a red line appeared, piercing the golden palm directly. With the appearance of a hole, the huge golden palm, like a deflated balloon, instantly turned into pieces of golden light and disappeared.

Zhao Ruizhi's pupils contracted slightly: "Judging from your use of power, you have obviously reached the Earth Immortal level. There are actually such experts in the world, and they are women. Who exactly are you?"

He Li and the others stared wide-eyed, thinking, "It's not just a woman, it's such a young and beautiful woman. How is that possible? Is there something wrong with how I'm experiencing this world today?"

Mi Li said calmly, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You've been a frog in a well for too long."

Although Zuan was not dead, she was still angry that he had tried to kill her, and planned to take advantage of his injuries to finish him off.

Just as she was about to set off, she suddenly frowned, and her figure flickered between light and shadow.

Zuan immediately noticed her situation and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"

Mi Li secretly transmitted her voice, "I feel my power is dissipating, as if the great formation here is absorbing my power."

Zuan used his Qi to sense his surroundings and indeed saw a faint mist emanating from Mi Li's body, which then seeped into the ground.

Mi Li quickly formed hand seals and adjusted her breathing: "I can only try my best to suppress being absorbed by this great formation, but that's only to slow down the absorption process. I'm afraid I can't help you deal with the emperor."

Zuan comforted him, "Just focus on your breathing and leave the rest to me."

At this moment, Zhao Ruizhi burst into laughter: "I thought you were some great power, but you're just a soul. Today I'll teach you to be reduced to ashes!"

He noticed Mi Li's unusual behavior and, with his knowledge, quickly pieced together the truth of the matter.

Zu An said in a deep voice, "There is a Five Elements Formation here, which is most likely meant to restore an ancient and terrifying existence. If we fight to the death here, we will most likely be the ones who benefit in the end. Why don't we deal with this evil formation first and then settle our personal grudges?"

Zhao Ruizhi said arrogantly, "What are you? You dare to talk about fighting me to the death? I can crush you as easily as killing an ant. I'll have plenty of time to deal with this formation after I kill you."

He was certainly aware that a formation was quietly operating here, but his years of invincibility had given him enough pride to disdain any ancient or terrifying existence. If such an existence existed, he would simply destroy it.

On the contrary, if the formation is dealt with first, and the woman in red regains her fighting strength, it will be even more troublesome, so naturally they will not agree to Zu'an's proposal.

"Your mouth can certainly spout flowery words, but that's only good for fooling women. You think you can fool me?" Zhao Ruizhi sneered. "I'll tear your mouth apart and pull out your tongue the moment you're done. Let's see what you have to say then."
