Xinghe's left leg was the first to be removed by the excavator, and it didn't hurt at all when it was removed.

But when he pierced the flesh of his torso with the crochet hook, the pain traveled from the cut in his leg to his head, and then resonated throughout his other limbs, causing them to ache together.

The pain was so intense that he could barely hold the crochet hooks and could not properly wrap the bandages.

"It doesn't hurt." His crimson lips were pale and bloodless, and he forced a smile.

His neck and limbs ached all over, but he still had to hold Gu Mingyue's hand; only then could he feel at ease.

Wow, it seems like this guy really likes you!

The girl on the golden throne smiled even more sweetly, "But do you know? Even if you sew your limbs and head back together, someone touched by my little darling can only retain consciousness for an hour."

"What should we do now?" Her chubby fingers interlaced and then separated.

"Since you love each other so much, you must not want to break up, right?"

"Then obediently assimilate me and don't resist. If I'm in a good mood, I might just connect you all together, so you'll be together forever!"

As if recalling that warm scene, the Lord of the Dark Domain twisted the metal body beneath him, gradually approaching the two, several bright red lines of blood gathering in his hands.

His face wore a proud expression seeking praise.

Seeing the Lord of the Dark Domain approaching, Gu Mingyue had already moved on from her worries about Xinghe.

When he turned to look at the Lord of the Dark Domain again, his eyes were filled with an indescribable ruthlessness.

"Thank you for telling me there's still one hour left!"

"Thank you?" A rare hint of doubt appeared in the golden eyes of the Lord of the Dark Domain. Since the formation of the Dark Domain, the Golden Knights and Golden Monsters had held it in awe.

The 'food' from outside the Black Domain reacted as if it were a demon from the deepest hell, cursing and begging for mercy.

But neither humans nor monsters have ever said thank you to it.

It quickly forgot about this oddity; even if the 'food' thanked it, it felt no pity for them.

After all, what right does a lowly 'food' have to speak to it on equal terms?

As the Lord of the Dark Domain exerted its power, the crimson bloodline energy in its hand became even purer. Seeing those red lines pierce through the man's spatial shield, a hint of smugness appeared in its eyes.

However, the two people inside the spatial shield showed no sign of panic or trying to escape.

It seemed as if it was waiting for it to approach, which suddenly gave it a feeling it had never had before.

In her past life, Gu Mingyue risked half her life to kill it. At that time, countless powerful individuals with supernatural abilities climbed the tower, and she was the luckiest one.

Luckily, he climbed the tower from the sea of ​​corpses. Luckily, while other powerful beings were wearing down the Lord of the Dark Domain, he disregarded the wound in his chest that had been pierced and risked half his life to dig out the crystal source from its head under the cover of the starry river.

Clearly, she was more fortunate in this life. Gu Mingyue raised her eyes with a cold smile and took out the Bloodsucking Sword from her spatial storage when the Lord of the Black Domain approached her.

Just before the crimson bloodline of the Lord of the Dark Domain was about to pierce their mouths and noses, he took the magical sword that appeared out of thin air and forcefully plunged it into the monster's torso.

The moment the tip of the Vampire Blade touched the monster's corpse, the gray light on the back of the blade began to surge frantically.

The girl, who had just been innocent, instantly contorted her face into a terrifying grimace, screaming, "Aaaaaah!"

It was a pain it had never felt before, like the pain of life slipping away uncontrollably.

The monster saw its tender pink skin begin to wither, and its bright red blood vessels, like water about to be completely shut off from a faucet, were intermittent and about to dry up.

If any other monster had touched this blade, it would have been completely drained of its energy long ago. But this monster is, after all, the Lord of the Dark Domain, and the golden crystal energy above its head continuously supplies it with energy.

The Lord of the Dark Domain's sharp claws, like two razor-sharp daggers, forcefully severed the torso attacked by the Bloodsucking Blade, causing the entire shoulder and head to roll to the ground with a thud.

Gu Mingyue's eyes hardened as she saw the Black Domain Lord's body split apart. Her eyes, corrupted by the Bloodsucking Sword, emitted a fierce red light. She raised her sword to strike the monster that had raised its hand to protect its head.

"Waaaaah, Mommy, save me!" A childish cry for help came from the monster's withered head.

The sound wasn't loud, but it penetrated the entire dark area.

After Xinghe finished off the strange, long-legged hand on the first floor, Wu Qian, Fang Kai, Lu Qingchen, and the others had already climbed up the tower.

Upon hearing the girl's innocent voice, Wu Qian's face showed extreme panic. She pushed aside Fang Kai, who was protecting her, and quickly ran up to the sixth floor.

As soon as she reached the sixth floor, she saw a scene that nearly made her eyes pop out of their sockets: her beloved daughter, head and body separated, was rolling on the ground, trying to blend into the golden floor tiles to escape, with only one arm and half a head remaining.

On the sixth floor, Gu Mingyue and Xinghe were working together, one of them forcefully restraining its arm as it tried to escape, while the other plunged the tip of her knife into the golden ground beneath their feet.

The entire golden tower was shaking violently, and the golden ground twisted and emitted deafening screams of pain.

Wu Qian glared angrily at Gu Mingyue and the other woman, as if they were mortal enemies. Her eyes blazed with fury, and she exerted force in her hands, filling the entire sixth floor with flames.

Xinghe intended to use the spatial shield to block it, but the sudden burst of high-temperature flames gave the Lord of the Black Domain a chance to escape. The other half of its body instantly liquefied and completely merged into the floor tiles beneath its feet.

Gu Mingyue's blade slashed at the ground, but not a single monster could be seen in the paving stones.

"Sister Wu, what exactly are you doing?" Gu Mingyue turned to look at Wu Qian, her eyes already icy cold as if they were poisoned.
