Xiao Chenghe's axe strike directly drained all the soul power from his body. His weak legs trembled, and he looked utterly spent.

"Big Bear, I'll give you this axe. From now on, it'll be your exclusive divine weapon."

"Th-thanks... Brother Luo, help me put it away first. I really have nothing left."

At that moment, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's corpse suddenly erupted with dazzling light.

Everyone was startled. "Soul bone!" ×4

As Tang San immediately dissected the Man-Faced Demon Spider, he pulled out a glowing spider lance!

External soul bone, Purple Nether Spider Lance.

A weapon-type external soul bone!

Bang!

"You know it's valuable, yet you still said it out loud!"

Luo Yihe instantly teleported behind Tang San and smacked him on the head with a brick!

"This was worth it!"

Luo Yihe happily put away the Purple Nether Spider Lance.

Then he looked at the Eight Spider Lances on Tang San's back.

Tang San had not fully fused with them yet. After what had happened today, with Tang San's personality, he would definitely fight to the death.

But... Luo Yihe could not quite bring himself to do it—to cut open Tang San's torso and remove the Eight Spider Lances.

No matter what, Tang San was still a human. Luo Yihe might not even be able to kill someone, much less cut open someone's spine and extract an external soul bone.

This... was a little too cruel.

Luo Yihe hesitated...

He could not make up his mind, but he was also afraid that Tang San would resort to underhanded methods in the future and target the people around him. Would getting revenge for her after he had truly lost her mean anything then?

Luo Yihe was lost. He did not know what choice he should make!!!!!

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appeared and gently hugged Luo Yihe. Then a dagger appeared in her hand, and she walked toward Tang San.

Luo Yihe was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhu Zhuqing. "What are you doing?"

"The resolve you cannot make, I'll make for you. The hurdle you cannot cross, I'll cross it for you. The things you do not want to do, I'll do them for you."

"I... just don't want to see you making things so difficult for yourself."

Zhu Zhuqing looked calmly into Luo Yihe's eyes. She had never killed anyone either, but she knew that Luo Yihe was caught in a dilemma. She did not want to see him like this. She would rather force herself to take that step than watch Luo Yihe struggle and do something he did not want to do.

Luo Yihe suddenly pulled Zhu Zhuqing into a tight embrace. He was deeply moved, yet he also found his own softheartedness laughable. Although this world was indeed rather messed up, it was still a fantasy world. He had to possess methods as ruthless as iron and blood.

Luo Yihe took the dagger from Zhu Zhuqing's hand, smiled at her, and kissed her alluring little lips. "If I make you handle even something this small, how will I protect you in the future?"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed. "But... you..."

Luo Yihe kissed her red lips again. "Be good! Listen to me."

Zhu Zhuqing had turned into a steam engine, her face burning red. She merely nodded and stepped back.

Luo Yihe's gaze turned fierce, though it still carried a trace of reluctance.

Sorry. If you have to blame someone, blame this world. You never offended me, and I don't hate you. I simply want to be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

With that, Luo Yihe's eyes hardened. He covered Tang San's eyes with one hand and viciously slashed the dagger across Tang San's throat.

The sharp blade cut through his throat, tearing flesh as warm blood gushed out.

Tang San unconsciously kicked his legs several times, painful whimpers escaping his mouth.

In less than a minute, Tang San's heartbeat stopped. His life force had clearly been extinguished.

Luo Yihe did not stop moving. He stabbed Tang San in the back, and a purple soul bone shaped like spider legs appeared. He stored it in the system space.

Luo Yihe looked at Tang San's corpse once more, then waved to Xiao Chenghe and Zhu Zhuqing. "Let's go!"

"Brother Luo, you..."

Zhu Zhuqing stopped Xiao Chenghe from disturbing Luo Yihe.

"Let your big brother have some peace and quiet! You need some time alone right now."

Luo Yihe walked ahead by himself. Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Chenghe followed without disturbing him, silently keeping him company.

After the group left, Tang San's injuries suddenly began to heal slowly.

Suddenly, Tang San's eyes flew open. "W-where am I? Wasn't I supposed to be heading to the Fairy Continent to search for Xiao Wu's reincarnation?"

"Ugh, my head hurts so much. Xiao Wu? Luo Yihe? Xiao Chenghe? And... Huo Yuhao?"

This was... Douluo Continent? I came back? Then why was Huo Yuhao here too? Could something have happened in the Divine Realm after I left? Had Huo Yuhao also accidentally come to this era?

But who were Xiao Chenghe and Luo Yihe? No matter who you are, you actually dared to kill this God King. You have brought death upon yourselves.

Tang San's gaze was vicious, but...

Bleurgh~

What was all this stuff on his body? Why did it stink so badly?

Tang San casually dabbed some with his hand and put it into his mouth.

Bleurgh~

Fuck! It was shit.

Why was I so fluent at saying "fuck" and "shit"?????

After Tang San's matter was settled, Luo Yihe did not brood alone for long. He was not that kind of person. Before long, he was fooling around with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Chenghe again. He took all kinds of food from the system space, and after the three had a hearty meal, they enjoyed a good night's sleep.

The next day, he took Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Chenghe and teleported out of Star Dou Forest.

However, the matter in Star Dou Forest was not over. Xiao Chenghe's axe strike had been far too shocking, and Spirit Hall's Titled Elder rushed over at once.

But Luo Yihe's group and Tang San had all left too quickly. Tang San had also run and darted around everywhere, while the bloody stench and foul odor were far too strong. Nothing could be investigated, so they could only give up.

Over at Spirit Hall Academy, most people had been knocked down by the laxative and could not complete the remaining trial. Only a few insignificant stragglers were left for Hu Liena to farm as experience packs.

Afterward, they headed back, while the Shrek group gathered together. Zhao Wuji looked at them with a complicated expression. What they had experienced over these past few days probably surpassed half a lifetime of experiences for most people!!!

Zhao Wuji had nothing else to say. He could only say one thing in his heart: Fucking awesome!

Yet no one noticed that Ning Rongrong was missing. Too much had happened these past two days, and they had long forgotten Ning Rongrong, who had run away at the very beginning.

The happiest of them all was Huo Yuhao. After all, his beloved father-in-law had returned and revealed to him that he had also unexpectedly awakened to the path of becoming a God King.

Huo Yuhao immediately dropped to his knees, kowtowed, and acknowledged him as his father-in-law!

Tang San did not refuse. He asked Huo Yuhao about Xiao Wu's whereabouts and for detailed information on Luo Yihe's group. He also told Huo Yuhao that Luo Yihe had killed him, allowing him to replace the version of himself from this era and live again.

But Tang San, the God King, would never forget the grudge of having his Eight Spider Lances taken away and his life ended by Luo Yihe once.

After that, Weng Xu and the other person began indiscriminately cursing Luo Yihe's group, extending all the way to their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Luo Yihe: "Achoo~"

Xiao Chenghe: "Achoo~"

"Who the fuck is cursing me?" ×2
