To Repay Your Kindness, I'll Hunt You Down!

"Ding! A new check-in mission has been triggered: Kill one Third-Level Spirit Body and four Second-Level Spirit Bodies to obtain one check-in opportunity!"

Hearing the system prompt ring by his ear, Zhao Chen's gaze turned much colder.

The Asura Sword in his hand became a streak of bloody shadow and viciously stabbed forward.

"W-What are you trying to do!?"

Just as Zhao Tiandu swung the Battle Blade in his hand, intending to block Zhao Chen's attack—

A streak of blood-red sword light had already appeared before his eyes.

Squelch!

Blood splattered across his face, leaving him utterly stunned. He even raised his left hand instinctively, trying to ease his discomfort.

But when that smear of blood entered his sight, his face suddenly turned deathly pale.

"Blood, blood..."

Zhao Tiandu wanted to say something more, but all he felt was a sweetness rising in his throat, rendering him unable to speak.

As he staggered, he saw his four subordinates beside him collapse miserably to the ground, their eyes still wide open in death.

Only then did he realize that he was already dead!

His corpse crashed heavily to the ground, and silence returned to the clearing.

Behind Zhao Chen, the silver-haired young girl Luo Li watched the scene, her expression shifting several times.

The Dark Sword she was barely holding nearly slipped from her hand.

Zhao Tiandu, a Third-Level Spirit Body, had not even lasted a single move before the person in front of him!

Such overwhelming strength made Luo Li extremely nervous and wary.

After all, her current condition was truly terrible.

She was seriously injured and poisoned. Without prompt treatment, it would be difficult for her to maintain any decent combat strength in the short term.

"Ding! Successfully killed one Third-Level Spirit Body and four Second-Level Spirit Bodies. Obtained one check-in opportunity!"

Zhao Chen had no intention of paying attention to Luo Li. As he collected the Crimson Tokens and Storage Bags, he silently said in his heart, Check in!

"Ding! Checking in... Check-in location—Final Spiritual Road. Check-in successful!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully checked in and received the check-in reward—Luo God Ring!"

Zhao Chen frowned slightly. Inside his Mustard Seed Bracelet, a ball of blue light had appeared.

Within the light was a blue ring covered in patterns, shimmering with a bluish-purple glow.

"What the hell?"

After receiving the information fed back by the Blue Pattern Ring, Zhao Chen could not help muttering inwardly, The Luo God Ring looks like a women's ring.

This Blue Pattern Ring was called the Luo God Ring.

According to the information he received, it was a lost treasure that had once belonged to the ancient Luo God Clan.

There even seemed to be a trace of Luo God's divine consciousness within it.

Zhao Chen had a headache. Should he wear it?

He took the Blue Pattern Ring out of his Mustard Seed Bracelet.

After several attempts, he finally managed to put it on.

"Heh, not bad after all."

After a brief hesitation, Zhao Chen still wore it on his finger.

He did not care whether it was meant for women or not. As long as it was a good treasure, there was no way he would let it pass him by.

A trace of Luo God's divine consciousness was no small matter.

It was already a rather decent divine artifact. If used properly, it could awaken that trace of Luo God's divine consciousness, allowing her Dharma body to manifest and protect him.

Luo God was one of the supreme experts standing at the peak of the Great Thousand World!

Zhao Chen noticed the silver-haired young girl Luo Li staring fixedly at him. He frowned, then bit his finger and let his blood drip onto the Luo God Ring.

"Don't!"

At that moment, Luo Li cried out.

But it was already too late.

In the blink of an eye, the Luo God Ring absorbed the blood.

A connection was formed between Zhao Chen and the Luo God Ring.

If he was outside the Spiritual Road, he could enlarge or shrink the Luo God Ring.

The main thing was that it required spiritual energy to activate.

"What are you yelling for?"

Zhao Chen looked at Luo Li with some displeasure. Why was she shouting at a time like this? It was not as if he had done anything to threaten her.

Besides, he had just saved Luo Li!

Otherwise, how would she still have the chance to shout and make a fuss now?

"That ring..."

The silver-haired young girl Luo Li gripped the Dark Sword tightly. Her gaze remained fixed on the Luo God Ring on Zhao Chen's finger as memories began surfacing in her mind, overlapping with vague impressions.

"It seems to be a lost divine artifact of my Luo God Clan!"

Luo Li said through clenched teeth, enunciating every word.

She had never imagined that she would see a divine artifact of the Luo God Clan, lost for countless years, within the Spiritual Road—and in the hands of an unfamiliar young man.

"A lost divine artifact of your Luo God Clan?"

The corner of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched. Her memory was pretty good.

Countless years had passed since the ancient era.

Under normal circumstances, who would recognize such a lost divine artifact?

As for Luo Li...

"By that logic, the sword in your hand belongs to me too!"

Zhao Chen snorted coldly and rebuked her, "I saved you, yet you're still coveting my ring. You've got some nerve."

He circled around the silver-haired young girl Luo Li, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, constantly examining her.

It made her extremely uneasy and wary, and she was somewhat worried that he would attack directly.

"Given your current condition, and so that you won't keep thinking about repaying my kindness..."

Zhao Chen's eyes flickered before he continued,

"How about you repay me right now!"

His gaze kept sweeping over her body.

In the end, it settled on the Dark Sword she held in her hand.

The corners of his lips curled upward. This was a good treasure.

It was just that its true form was currently sealed by countless profound runes.

"Dream on!"

Luo Li had originally planned to wait until her injuries recovered before snatching back the Luo God Ring, which was suspected to be a lost divine artifact of the Luo God Clan, from Zhao Chen.

But she had not expected Zhao Chen to make the first move against her.

He had actually recognized the value of the Luo God Sword in her hand.

"Don't think that just because you saved me, you can act so recklessly. You'll regret saving me!"

Luo Li gritted her teeth and glared coldly at Zhao Chen.

"Even without the matter of the Luo God Ring, I would still kill you!"

"I will never allow my cultivation to be disturbed!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chen shook his head.

What was stuffed inside this little girl's head?

"Fine, let's say I was joking just now."

Zhao Chen paused, then continued, "Since you want to kill me, I'll wait for you to come kill me."

Would a peak Third-Level Spirit Body be enough to kill him?

Wishful thinking.

He was in a good mood right now and did not feel like arguing with her.

The Luo God Ring really was nice.

Zhao Chen kept his eyes on the Luo God Ring on his finger, occasionally raising his left hand to play with and rub it.

Once he left the Spiritual Road, he would have a bit more confidence when facing those powerful experts who had no sense of honor.

"Damn it!"

Watching Zhao Chen's figure disappear into the forest, Luo Li gritted her teeth and muttered.

She wanted to chase after him, but her injuries made it impossible.

Luo Li said coldly, "In two hours, I'll come kill you!"

Then she hurriedly took out medicinal pills from her Storage Bag and swallowed them.

After a long while, she spat out a mouthful of black blood, which raised a wisp of black smoke from the ground.

Luo Li wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up again. Holding the Luo God Sword, she looked toward the direction Zhao Chen had left in.

She hesitated for a moment, then murmured,

"After two hours, you should have gone far away, right?"

For a moment, Luo Li truly wanted to abandon this thought.

But when she considered how her state of mind had changed, how her cultivation had been disturbed, and how he might appear again in the future and become her weakness—

Her gaze grew even colder.

"Now the hunt begins. No matter where you flee, I will kill you to repay your great kindness!"
