"So beautiful, Master, do you want it?"

Qiao Qiu looked up and glanced at the table. "No."

"If the master doesn't want it, then it's just scrap metal, might as well let it go." The ring snapped its fingers, and the sword, which was all show and no substance, broke in two.

The man was shocked. The sword he had summoned was the sixth-ranked magic weapon in the immortal realm, and it had broken just like that?

"You die too!" The ring raised its hand and struck out with a palm strike, the palm shadow illusory, as it rushed forward.

The man hurriedly tried to pull away, but found that he couldn't move his legs. When he looked up, the palm was already in front of him. He gritted his teeth and looked up to catch it, his expression freezing instantly.

The ring snapped its fingers again, and the man fell to the ground and turned to dust.

In the blink of an eye, the two powerful gods were killed, and the other gods nearby were trembling with fear.

Should we run away?

“Brother Liu, do you think we can escape? Why don’t we join forces? Maybe we’ll have a chance to kill this little brat,” said another immortal standing nearby.

The ring raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Not bad, much better than those two just now, they knew to team up to attack me."

Several people unleashed their magical weapons and rushed towards the ring, creating a beautiful display of colors from the magical power that filled the sky.

He nodded, looking at the ring, and raised his hand.

The men's eyes widened in shock, for their bodies had been restrained!

What happened?

Why can't they move?

The ring smiled, bearing a resemblance to Qiao Qiu, "You worthless immortals are nothing but the tentacles of that thing. Only it is my match. What are you?"

Suddenly, an old immortal raised his head and revealed a strange smile. "You're right. Indeed, apart from me, no one is your match."

The ring was shocked and conjured a sword from the void, slashing it several times at him.

The domineering sword energy, capable of destroying anything, slashed down one after another, but the old immortal merely dodged left and right with a few nonchalant movements. His movement technique was also extremely strange, like a phantom, always avoiding him at the most crucial moment.

The remaining deities were no match for the ring. Caught in the blast of sword energy, they were instantly annihilated, their souls destroyed, never to be reborn.

Qiao Qiu stood up, a worried look on her face.

Ji Rufeng tugged at her, "Qiuqiu, don't worry, the curse didn't send down much spatial power, the ring can handle it."

"Really?" Qiao Qiu still looked very alarmed.

Ji Rufeng nodded. "Trust me."

Qiao Qiu nodded, "Okay, I believe you."

The old immortal also conjured a sword, dodged a few times, and came in front of the ring to swing it down.

The ring raised its sword and instantly blocked the attack.

The two exerted their strength, and the aftershocks of their magic rippled outwards over a very long distance.

A bird flying 500 meters away was hit, let out a scream, and fell into the valley.

Ji Rufeng waved his hand, deflecting the aftershocks that were heading towards them.

The ring looked up at it and laughed, "You really think you can beat me with your meager skills? Show me your true form, and we'll fight again."

"Hmph, ignorant brat, if I were to use my true form, how could you possibly defeat me? This clone of mine is more than enough to contend with you." The old immortal didn't take the ring seriously.

The ring laughed, "How sad, they don't even consider me."

After speaking, the other hand, which was hidden behind the ring, shone brightly, and he unleashed a palm strike. However, the old immortal had the same idea, and their other hands clashed instantly.

The two retreated, one above the other, with the old immortal retreating a significantly greater distance than the ring.

The ring looked at the hand and laughed, "Looks like you really don't take me seriously."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ring's shadow flickered and vanished in an instant.

The next instant, he appeared behind the old immortal and punched him in the back, punching right through him.

"ah!"

The old immortal screamed in agony as blood spurted out.

He pulled the ring from his hand and struck him with another palm. A flash of white light, and the old immortal turned to ashes.

The ring shook its hand and said disdainfully, "It's filthy."

Qiao Qiu was relieved to see that he was alright.

Seeing this, Ji Rufeng laughed and said, "I told you he would be fine, but it seems you still don't quite believe me."

"Of course I trust you, but it's normal to worry about him even while giving guidance," Qiao Qiu said.

"Is it the same for me?" Ji Rufeng asked.

Qiao Qiu laughed upon hearing this, "You're the one who gets jealous so easily. If it were you, I wouldn't have to worry."

"Huh? What?" Ji Rufeng was heartbroken. Was he not even as good as a decoration?

Qiao Qiu laughed and said, "You are so much more powerful than me. Even if I wanted to save you, I couldn't. If you die, I will go with you to your death. You have more than just your own life on your shoulders. You had better remember that."

Ji Rufeng's heart stirred. He took her hand and said earnestly, "Qiuqiu, what's the point if two people die? If it really comes to that, one of us must live, because we will meet again someday."

Qiao Qiu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. She didn't want to live alone in solitude. Having lived through so many lifetimes, she had long since become indifferent to life and death. Now, only he was the most important person to her.

"Qiuqiu, promise me. Your family still exists, you can't die," Ji Rufeng said.

Qiao Qiu nodded, tears streaming down her face.

When the ring returned, seeing the two of them so lovey-dovey again, she couldn't stand it anymore and sighed, "Why do you two always forget about me so completely? Have you really forgotten that I even exist, or has ignoring me just become a habit?"

The atmosphere that the two had finally managed to create was instantly and completely ruined.

Qiao Qiu looked at him expressionlessly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The ring stroked its chin and said, "Master, if one day you are truly all alone, don't worry, I will do everything in my power to find you."

Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow. "You said it yourself. If you can't find me, I'll curse you."

The ring scratched its head and chuckled awkwardly, "Since you've put it that way, I have to find you."

Actually, I'm not sure about the ring either; we'll have to see how it turns out in the end.

Of course, there was a result, and both he and Ji Rufeng knew it in their hearts.

The ring looked at Ji Rufeng, and Ji Rufeng looked up at him. They exchanged a glance, and there was something inside that only the two of them could understand.

Seeing the two of them like this, Qiao Qiu looked up suspiciously, just about to ask.

Sudden……

"You demons, come out and face your death!"

Qiao Qiu lowered her head helplessly, a surge of anger rising within her.

"Damn it, did they have to bother me at this time? Are they out of their minds?!"

Qiao Qiu raised her head, clenched her fists, her face full of murderous intent, and appeared in mid-air the next second.
