A man in a long robe, wielding a spear and sporting a scar on his cheek, sprinted along the building's wall, leaping and spinning in the air before thrusting at Ye Linwan.
The moment she was stabbed, Ye Linwan's figure turned into darkness and vanished into the shadows.
Bai Yu, the captain of the squad stationed in City A, quickly glanced behind him.
The snow-white spear clashed with Ye Linwan's eight spider legs, sparks flying.
"Wow, buddy, you're pretty amazing! I heard your special ability isn't that strong, but to reach this level, how about joining the Light God Society?"
In response to Ye Linwan's recruitment, Bai Yu immediately took concrete actions.
The tip of the snow-white spear emitted bursts of white light before exploding with a deafening roar.
Ye Linwan pulled herself back along the spider silk, a scar appearing on her beautiful face from the explosion.
But he was healed only moments later by the [ Curse of Undying ] hanging from his ear.
Before she could catch her breath, another bolt of lightning struck her, and Ye Linwan immediately activated the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand.
A light pink barrier protected her, completely shielding her from the damage of the lightning.
Darkness enveloped the spider's legs, and it thrust towards the lightning.
A bolt of lightning pierced through her, and Qian Lan, looking somewhat uncomfortable, distanced herself from Ye Linwan.
Ye Linwan is simply too strong. Even within the ' Starlight ' realm, Qian Lan and Bai Yu are considered among the stronger ones.
Ye Linwan, however, was able to easily fight against both of them single-handedly, and even hold her own.
Even more terrifying, Qian Lan discovered during her battle with Ye Linwan that her opponent was not only a [ Variant Human ] and [ Venomous Spider Queen ], but also an [ Awakened ], whose superpower was the same as that of the recently deceased Sun Hai— [ Shadow of Illusion ].
But Ye Linwan seemed to have other abilities she hadn't used, which made Qian Lan somewhat suspicious; was she still a [ Symbiote ]?
But is this really possible?! It's unprecedented for one person to possess three different abilities simultaneously.
"Let me go—!" Suddenly, Yan Wusheng's heart-wrenching roar echoed from inside the building.
Bai Yu immediately realized they were in danger and turned to run towards the building.
But he had only run a couple of steps when Ye Linwan suddenly emerged from behind, wielding eight spider legs.
Sensing what was happening behind him, Bai Yu gritted his teeth, stopped, blocked the attack, and continued fighting Ye Linwan.
"Hehe, my son is playing games with your friends, so don't disturb him!"
The prayer beads in his hand lit up again, and a powerful shockwave blasted towards Bai Yu. Although Bai Yu managed to raise his gun to defend himself in time, he was still blasted nearly a hundred meters away.
Ye Linwan looked in Ye Ciqing's direction, rubbing her face, her expression genuinely helpless, "Don't play for too long..."
Unfortunately, Ye Ciqing didn't hear it, and looked at Yan Wusheng, who was firmly locked in front of him with a skeleton, and smiled mockingly.
"Heh heh, you stinky Scarface, you've fallen into my hands, haven't you? What a piece of trash."
"If you've got the guts, let me go, and we'll fight again!"
Yan Wusheng, trapped in the skeleton, roared at Ye Ciqing, his eyes bloodshot.
Ye Ciqing then approached him with a cheeky grin, sticking his tongue out at him.
"No way! You spineless loser!"
"Speaking of which, your female teammate really gave me a shock. I was really intimidated by her ' King Master ' level of skill, but it turns out she's just a support."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Tian, who had fainted and was lying to the side.
Yan Wusheng panicked instantly, "What do you want to do! If you have a problem, come at me! What kind of skill is it to bully a woman!"
Seeing this, Ye Ciqing smiled mischievously, "Oh, so you like her~ That's interesting."
A giant skeletal hand rose from the ground and lifted Lu Tian up.
Ye Ciqing walked over and held the bone knife, which had been transformed from a badminton racket, to her neck.
"Stop it right now!"
Yan Wusheng began to struggle desperately, his limbs being firmly bitten by the skull and torn apart due to the violent struggle.
Blood trickled down his clothes, but he remained firmly trapped.
Ye Ciqing became even more excited, "You really care about her. In that case, I'm not a bad person. Considering our past relationship, if you call me 'Grandpa,' I'll consider letting her go."
"You...!"
Yan Wusheng's expression was incredibly ferocious with rage. He instinctively wanted to curse, but seeing Ye Ciqing's blade move even closer, he shut his mouth.
"Well, call me grandpa and I'll let her go."
Yan Wusheng gritted his teeth, his nails digging deep into his flesh from clenching his fist so tightly.
But remembering how Lu Tian had taken care of him during this time, and her sweet appearance, he finally gave in.
"Grandpa... Grandpa..."
These words seemed to have been squeezed out of his mouth with all his might.
Ye Ciqing burst into laughter, "Not bad, Scarface has matured. He's even willing to humble himself for others."
Despite saying this, Ye Ciqing kept his promise. He gently patted the skull hand, which turned to ashes, and Lu Tian collapsed to the ground again.
Ye Ciqing stepped forward, grabbed Yan Wusheng's hair, and forced him to stare at her with his bloodshot and angry eyes.
"I really hated it when you called me One-Eyed Dragon before, because I don't actually only have one eye."
He touched the demon eye in his left eye, and then it began to glow red.
"However, you really do have a scar. Come on, let me add a few more scars to your face, and make you a real one-eyed dragon too."
In Yan Wusheng's bloodshot eyes, a fierce flame surged towards him.
"Ah--!"
Squeak...
Hela, expressionless, pushed open the door and slowly walked in, just in time to witness this scene.
"Oh, my sister-in-law is here!"
Ye Ciqing knocked Yan Wusheng with an elbow strike and walked swaggeringly in front of Hela.
"Let's go! I'll take you downstairs to find my mom, but if you want to take advantage of these two, that's fine too, I can wait."
Hela glanced at Yan Wushen and Lu Tian lying to the side, and shook her head slightly.
"Okay, then we'll get right there..."
Why did you attack them?
Just as Ye Ciqing was about to leave, Hela suddenly said something.
Hela continued,
"Isn't Yan Wusheng an ally? Why are you hitting him?"
Ye Ciqing found it somewhat amusing. "Sister, I'm a member of the Light God Society now, so taking down those two enemies is perfectly normal."
"But he's a companion." Hela looked up, a strange glint in her peach-colored eyes.
"No, sis, don't ask so many questions. I didn't kill them. Let's just go back home peacefully, okay?"
Ye Ciqing also noticed the strangeness in the hair. He waved his hand, trying to soothe Hela's emotions, while inwardly complaining, "This thing is really hard to deal with; it even has feelings."
Hela ran straight to the window next to her, smashed her head against the glass, and jumped out.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing!"
He hurriedly peered out the window and saw Hela fall to the ground, then stagger and run off in one direction.
"Damn it! Things have changed, brother, Hela doesn't want to come with us!"
Hela staggered along the road, her legs recovering very slowly due to insufficient energy.
He could no longer return to the Night Star; they would execute him.
But she absolutely cannot go to the Light God Society, because Xing Lan told her that the Light God Society is the enemy!
