This meant he could never defeat her, and if he could not defeat her, he could never leave this War Domain.

The blonde woman did not think the Chen Luo before her was kind enough to seek another way for them to leave together, nor did she think he had that ability.

"Ah, I really can't bring myself to kill you. Just wait a moment." Chen Luo suddenly interrupted her, then gave her another kick in the stomach.

Then Chen Luo stood up and silently called for his bar.

A second later, a tavern and a door actually appeared before Chen Luo.

Chen Luo cautiously opened the door and discovered that it really could be opened, and that he really could walk through it.

That meant he could leave this War Domain without killing her.

Chen Luo had discussed it with the Herrscher of Knowledge. As long as he had not returned by late at night, she would immediately open the bar and come look for him.

At that point, Chen Luo only needed to follow the Herrscher of Knowledge out of the bar to reach wherever she had entered it from—namely, Chen Luo's home.

That meant Chen Luo could freely leave this damned War Domain.

As for why Chen Luo did not want to kill this angel...

It was not because Chen Luo was softhearted. It was because he wanted her ability.

Chen Luo had never tested whether he could still buy a Friend's skills after they died.

"Let me tell you some good news. Even if I don't kill you, I can still leave this War Domain. That means you don't have to die." Chen Luo smiled at the blonde woman.

"You're willing to spare me... No, that won't do! You have to kill me! You can't just leave like this!" Just as the blonde woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered something.

If he simply left, that meant she could not kill him, which meant that after he left, the War Domain would not be lifted.

That meant once her talent recovered, she would be trapped in this damned place forever, with no one coming to save her.

With the power of Angel Power, the blonde woman could even remain alive for a hundred years. What came with that, however, was a hundred years of solitude...

As for suicide... sorry, angels were not allowed to commit suicide, nor could they. It was a rule, and also a shackle.

"Please, kill me." The blonde angel, once lofty and domineering, looked at him pleadingly.

"No." Chen Luo directly rejected her proposal.

"You should know this. Since you used me to threaten those three people, you must have investigated me too. Ever since middle school, I've been someone who enjoys helping others, so I really can't bring myself to erase a life." Chen Luo shook his head.

"After a while, I'll leave. Once I leave, your power will return. Then you can try killing yourself, wait for your lifespan to run out, or wait eighty years until those big shots emerge and perhaps discover you and conveniently rescue you from this damned War Domain."

"The only cruel part is that you'll have to stay for eighty years in a place with no internet, no water, no humans, not even any living creatures. I hope you can endure it." Chen Luo looked at her with glee.

"If it were me, I probably wouldn't even last ten days."

Keep in mind, this was a world with no electricity, no internet, and nothing at all to relieve boredom. Other than you, there was nothing.

How long could you live on in this world?

And how many years could you guarantee you would not lose your mind?

"Kill me."

"No."

"Please kill me." The blonde woman had never expected that one day she would beg someone to kill her, but that was indeed what she truly wanted now.

If he left just like that, it meant she would be imprisoned in this damned War Domain for all eternity.

"I can't bring myself to do it."

"Kill me!" The blonde woman roared at Chen Luo.

"Mm-hm, why are you so determined to die? Wouldn't it be better to cling to life?"

"...It seems all the information I gathered was wrong. You've always enjoyed helping others, so perhaps you really are a kind person, but you are not a good person. You are the most vicious person in the world. Your intent to kill me is so obvious, yet you use words to torment me." The blonde woman's voice gradually sank as she stared at Chen Luo with hatred in her eyes.

Chen Luo casually checked her friends interface and found that her discount had changed from 12% off to 14% off.

Although Chen Luo was not entirely sure what this discount represented, it was probably something like hatred reaching its limit.

"You're right. I did it on purpose. After all, someone has to die in this War Domain before it can be left. Since you already want to kill me, why can't I torment you with words?" Chen Luo admitted it without hesitation.

Chen Luo did not think he was a good person. On the contrary, he felt he might merely be a demon harvesting wishes.

If I could, I'd really lock you in here for a few decades. By then, you'd probably want me to kill you even more, wouldn't you? Chen Luo thought maliciously.

After all, if it really reached that point, her wish would become even stronger. Maybe it could even produce a four-star or five-star commission.

"Kill me, and I'll give you all my treasures." As she spoke, the blonde woman endured the pain and used her left hand to remove the ring from her right hand, tossing it directly to Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo had twisted her left hand apart, it could still move after Angel Power healed it earlier.

Ding! You have received a new commission!

Kill Me: Kill Yvette Peg and grant her true release, sparing her the torment of thousands of years of loneliness.

Reward: 600 Primogems + Random Skill Reward

Difficulty: Three Stars

"Emmm, it seems your desire to die is really quite persistent." Chen Luo could not help sighing.

Only when a wish and obsession became strong enough could they generate a commission, especially a three-star commission.

The difficulty of this commission was not high, at least not for Chen Luo. Its three-star rating had been entirely piled up by the intensity of her wish.

Like Mobius's commission.

Speaking of Mobius, she had not appeared again since taking the snake meat two days ago.

He wondered whether her special customer limited-time trial card had expired or something.

"Although I'd probably get more Primogems if I locked you up for a few more decades, Primogems obtained early and Primogems obtained later are inherently not equal in value. So I'll give you a quick death."

If he kept her imprisoned for a few more decades, the commission might rise to four stars, but by then, Chen Luo would definitely not be as desperate for Primogems as he was now.

Chen Luo held the Unsheathed Sword and slowly approached her. At the same time, a faint radiance began to emanate from her body, indicating that her strength was about to recover.

Yet she seemed to have no intention of resisting Chen Luo any longer. Chen Luo did not give her another kick either, simply slashing his sword across her throat.

The expression lingering most strongly on her face was one of satisfaction.

After killing her, the Unsheathed Sword in Chen Luo's hand trembled slightly, as if it had devoured something, as though it were excited and celebrating.

Ding! Mission complete.

At the same time, an enormous surge of heat flowed through his entire body. Aside from the enhancement gained from completing the commission, killing her had also given him a considerable boost.

"..."

Damn it, what kind of garbage skill was this?

Chen Luo had originally thought it would randomly draw one of her skills, but then he realized the reward had never said it had to be one of her skills.

"Forget it. A garbage skill is still a skill." Chen Luo shook his head.

With her death, this War Domain also began to collapse. The sky gradually started to shatter.

Before the domain broke apart, Chen Luo hurriedly stored the blonde woman's corpse in his Storage Space.

Then he immediately ran over and picked up his rather battered bicycle.

When the War Domain dissipated, the bloodstains on the ground that had belonged to the blonde woman had already vanished. It saved Chen Luo the trouble of cleaning up blood, which was quite considerate.

"This person seemed to have dropped something too. Forget it, I'll check after I get back." Chen Luo scratched his head as he looked at the three additional items in his inventory.

One was the storage ring she had thrown at him, one was her body, and the other was a ball of light.

Only then did Chen Luo remember that aside from earning Primogems and items by completing commissions, his talent could also make monsters drop Primogems and items. There was even a very small chance of obtaining their skills.

But the most important thing now was getting away from the crime scene.

The location she had chosen for this blue knot was also perfect, perfectly avoiding every surveillance camera.

She had probably deliberately selected this place to commit the perfect crime.

After all, judging from what she had said, she had intended to kill Chen Luo without making a fuss, let Liu Wenxuan worry for a few days, then toss Chen Luo's head to him and provoke his anger.

Honestly, after seeing her talent, Chen Luo felt that she might not have merely wanted to fight an S-rank Talent User. She might have wanted to ignite an even larger war.

After returning home, the first thing Chen Luo did was repair his bicycle.

That was right, repair the bicycle. Better safe than sorry. If someone investigated why that idiot had disappeared and saw that Chen Luo's bicycle was damaged, could they connect the two?

Moreover, the residual power on the bicycle was also a problem. It bore obvious traces of Angel Power.

In the end, Chen Luo spent 10 Primogems to have the talent panel repair it. It was not that he could not repair it himself; he simply lacked the professional tools.

Even if he repaired it, there would still be dents and uneven spots, which could easily arouse suspicion.

Chen Luo wanted to make everything as perfect as possible.

Of course, people could call him overly cautious or cowardly if they wanted, but needlessly making powerful enemies was simply idiotic.

Even if he did not think for himself, he had to think about his parents.

Was avoiding trouble the mark of a mediocre person?

Chen Luo did not think so.

"Damn it... Yvette, you actually made me waste 10 Primogems. It feels like I lost a hundred million."

Chen Luo had nearly forgotten her name, but he would remember the grudge of losing ten Primogems.

Although he had obtained many Primogems from her, he still had to remember those ten Primogems.

Whatever happened next had nothing to do with Chen Luo.

Chen Luo would insist that it had nothing to do with him. What could they do about it?

He was only an A-rank Talent User, and one who had only recently awakened. How could he possibly defeat an S-rank Talent User?

As long as they were reasonable, Chen Luo would not become the primary suspect.

And if they were unreasonable, Chen Luo had unreasonable ways of dealing with them too.

At least in this era before the big shots emerged, the Herrscher of Knowledge's combat power was among the top tier in the entire world.

And besides...

Chen Luo looked at the ball of light in his hand.

This was the item that had dropped from Yvette after he defeated her earlier.

Chen Luo could also obtain Primogems from defeating monsters, and there was even a tiny chance for their abilities to drop.

War Domain

Seeing this skill, Chen Luo laughed unkindly.

How many steps did it take to kill someone?

Step one: Activate War Domain and drag them inside for a deathmatch.

Step two: Use the bar to escape quickly.

Step three: Starve them for ten days, or even decades.

Step four: Call people over and gang up on them.

Looking at the extra skill on his skill panel, Chen Luo's heart surged with excitement.

In addition, killing a fully developed S-rank Talent User could even yield the enormous reward of 1,000 Primogems.

On second thought, that was not high at all. The combined Primogem value of everything on an S-rank Talent User's body could exceed 20,000.

This also confirmed one of Chen Luo's guesses: if a Friend unfortunately died, they would automatically be removed from the friends list, but he could still buy their skills or talents afterward.

Unfortunately, all the discounts had disappeared.

In other words, the items Yvette had sold at 14% off had returned to their original price.
