"Thank you for the lesson."
Li Yezhu glanced at the wound on his arm, then bowed to Blade Slave in earnest gratitude.
That single slash had left Li Yezhu utterly convinced of his defeat.
"But Senior, do not forget that under the Mysterious Wasteland Tower's rules, although you may use your full strength as a Dao Protector, you may only save people, not kill them, and you cannot strike first. Otherwise, you will lose your status as a Dao Protector."
Li Yezhu's words were half reminder, half threat.
The Nine Abysses knew far, far more about the Mysterious Wasteland Tower's rules than the present-day Cultivation World of Shangqing.
"Who do you think you are? You're not worthy of reminding me."
Blade Slave rolled his eyes at Li Yezhu.

"Senior, I want to try commanding the wraith battle intent of both the Azure Dragon Armor and the White Tiger Armor at once."
At this, Blade Slave picked his ear, then flicked his fingers as though he knew nothing. "If you want to try, go right ahead. If anyone dares disturb you, I'll chop him down with one slash."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was instantly delighted.
Although Blade Slave's words directly confirmed Xu Taiping's guess, they had also all but spelled it out.
Then
