"You dare!"

Lanxi roared and swung her longsword.

Sizzle!

Flames soared into the sky.

Blood splattered everywhere as the horde of zombies was hacked apart.

But these corpses did not fall; instead, they turned into endless blood mist, spreading towards Lanxi.

The blood mist contains a potent corrosive toxin; even a single drop from it would be fatal to an ordinary holy realm cultivator!

"You call this a trivial skill that deserves to be shown up and made a fool of yourself!"

Ji Shi snorted coldly, flicked his wrist, and countless threads wrapped out, instantly transforming into ropes that firmly bound Lan Xi's body.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, and Lanxi died on the spot, bound in mid-air.

"Grab him!"

With a low whisper, the horde of corpses immediately enveloped Lanxi.

Just as Lanxi was about to be swallowed by the zombie horde, a dazzling golden rainbow suddenly shot from afar, piercing through the zombie horde.

"roll!"

With a furious shout, the golden light dissipated, and a blurry figure gradually became clear.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lanxi coughed violently a few times, spitting out several pieces of broken internal organs, her face pale.

Looking at the figure in black robes before him, he cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for saving me, brother. I am from Lanxi, and I am deeply grateful!"

The man in black robes nodded slightly and said, "How grateful I am!"

Lanxi said with a strange expression, "This... naturally I am extremely grateful."

"What! I saved you, and all you can say are a few polite words? You don't even have any way to repay me?"

The man in black robes raised an eyebrow, seemingly very angry.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

Lanxi was both amused and exasperated.

"Kneel down, kowtow, and call me 'Dad' three times, how about that?"

The man in black robes said indifferently.

Lanxi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then her face darkened and she said in a deep voice.

"This request is too much! Although I owe you a debt of gratitude, there's no need to humiliate me like this!"

"Is that so? Then I'll have no choice but to conquer you with my strength!"

The man in black robes sneered, his eyes narrowed, and a vast wave of energy surged forth like a mighty river, spreading throughout the entire land of sin!

This scene drew everyone's attention.

Within the Sinful Lands Hundred Clans camp, the powerful figures of each clan frowned.

"What terrifying pressure!"

"Damn it! Where did this guy come from? Why have I never heard of him before?"

"They must have committed some crime in the upper realm and fled here."

"Never mind! This guy's here to cause trouble! No matter what, we absolutely cannot let him leave here alive!"

The powerful figures of the hundred races in the Land of Sin were all shocked.

Those from the top royal families, in particular, showed signs of deep thought.

Ji Shi chuckled dismissively, "Another one coming to their death?"

The man in black robes had icy eyes and exuded an extremely dangerous aura. He took a step forward and appeared in front of Ji Shi in an instant.

Bang!

The fist slammed into Ji Shi's head, unleashing a terrifying force that blasted Ji Shi into the earth and smashed a mountain in half!

"Hehehe, interesting, interesting. Looks like I'll have to let all my darlings out to play with you!"

Ji Shi crawled out of the ground, wiped the blood off his face, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Awoo!"

The next moment, a towering figure, two zhang tall and covered in blood-stained golden armor, slowly materialized.

The moment this figure appeared, the temperature in the entire world seemed to drop by tens of degrees, and a chilling wind swept through.

"What!!"

Upon seeing this figure, both Lanxi and the man in black robes had their pupils constrict.

The strongest prodigy of the Dragon Clan, the son of the Clan Master—Long Aotian.

The once peerless genius has now died and fallen into this miserable state, covered in wounds, with a full head of white hair and a haggard and withered face, as if he has suffered endless torment.

"Long Aotian!"

Upon seeing Long Aotian, Lanxi let out a mournful cry.

Long Aotian's eyes twitched, and he turned his head with difficulty to look at Lanxi. With a hoarse voice, he opened his mouth tremblingly, and after a long while, he let out a shrill roar!

"Haha, he's long dead! I must say, I'm very satisfied with this collectible."

He pulled the silk thread in his hand and suddenly slammed his palm together. Instantly, a clump of viscous blood plasma condensed out of thin air and shot into Long Aotian's mouth.

Long Aotian's throat moved, and his originally withered skin returned to a blood red color at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the mottled old skin peeled off several layers.

"I'm sorry, but I'll free you now."

Xu Xiwang, hidden beneath the black robe, sighed, flicked his finger, and a silver needle shot out instantly, piercing straight towards Ji Shi's brow.

The silver needle flashed like lightning, swift as thunder, and in an instant approached the brow of the assassin.

bite!

The silver needle stopped a few inches away from the face of the assassin.

A hand with thick knuckles suddenly reached out and firmly grasped the tiny silver needle.

"You want to kill me? Can you break through my defenses?"

Ji Shi glanced at Xu Xiwang coldly.

Xu Xiwang remained calm and said indifferently, "I'm just ending his suffering."

"Oh? Is that so? Then you try and see who takes care of whom first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce glint appeared in Ji Shi's eyes. He suddenly tightened his grip on his five fingers and crushed the silver needle.

In an instant, Long Aotian's speed in rushing towards Xu Xiwang increased even more.

Whoosh—!

With a slight flick of his wrist, Xu Xiwang conjured five thin, willow-leaf-shaped blades, their cold gleam instantly sealing off all of Ji Shi's escape routes.

To catch the thief, first catch the king; he planned to kill the patriarch directly.

"You certainly have guts! But do you think I'd just stand there and let you do whatever you want?!"
