Unable to break free from the Ghost King's incantation, and sensing that Jiang Nuo had arrived, Zhang Quan decided to retreat as a tactic, while outwardly continuing to fight it to the death.

Lin Yu, however, in the dark room, felt that this matter was probably not so simple.

Why did Zhang Quan suddenly smash the mirror?

"I... I want to go back!" Brother Zhuang had never seen anything like this before; he was almost scared to death.

Lin Yu gave him a cold glance, and Brother Zhuang immediately shut up, covering his mouth and squatting in the corner, trembling.

"Brother, why haven't you killed him yet?"

Lin Yu urged the Ghost King, sounding rather dissatisfied, "Are you planning to wait for Jiang Nuo to arrive before making your move?"

"Hey, someone's calling me."

Jiang Nuo pushed open the door and keenly heard a sound coming from inside the wall. She knocked on the wall and asked, " Lin Yu, did you miss me?"

Lin Yu: "..."

His face was slightly contorted.

How did they get here so quickly!

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the two non-human beings locked in combat in the bedroom each displayed different expressions.

Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at the Ghost King again, he had a firm feeling that the Ghost King was doomed.

His master is very powerful!

The Ghost King, however, was quite intrigued. He slowly stroked his face and smoothed his sleeves, waiting for Jiang Nuo to enter.

The moment Jiang Nuo stepped in, her eyes met those of the Ghost King, and she realized she didn't recognize his face.

"Are you a player?" he asked.

"I am... I know you, the infamous Madman Demon God."

Confirming his suspicions, Jiang Nuo surveyed the room and understood what this guy was doing: constantly draining people's life force and luck.

Jiang Nuo took out the red string and played with it, chuckling softly, "What should I do? I don't want you to exist."

No human or ghost should exist if they could threaten his life.

"But I'd really like to work with you."

The Ghost King spoke with sincerity, his smile feigned kindness, "Don't you think this world is too boring? Why not turn the world upside down?"

Jiang Nuo tilted his head in thought, his sharp, shimmering eyes fixed on the Ghost King's eyes, and he actually sensed a hint of familiarity in that smile.

He didn't speak, so Zhang Quan remained silent, even though he wanted to tear the Ghost King in front of him to pieces every moment.

Suddenly, Jiang Nuo sneered, a glint of light flashing in his left eye, and his figure moved in an instant.

"I'm really sorry, but I still think killing you would be more fun."

He moved too fast. By the time the Ghost King reacted, he could only back away, but the red rope moved swiftly and deftly between the two of them, like a snake.

Since returning to the real world, Jiang Nuo has never fought with such seriousness as he does now.

He could sense that the Ghost King was a force to be reckoned with even in that world, yet he had never seen this face before.

It is highly likely that a spirit possessed the body, causing the corpse to turn into a ghost.

In Jiang Nuo's memory, every top player has their own characteristics and strengths. It's a matter of whose soul truly belongs; a single test will reveal all.

The Ghost King's smile vanished as he gazed at the all-too-familiar face, his playful grin transforming into overwhelming killing intent.

Just then, Lin Yu moved inside the dark room.

He quietly opened his palm, gathering the power given to him by An Yin, intending to kill Jiang Nuo completely today.

After that, no one ever tried to take the Si Yan from him again.

Zhang Quan turned around warily, gave a low growl, and warned him.

Lin Yu suddenly glanced at Brother Zhuang in the corner and reached out his hand to him, "Don't be afraid, Brother Zhuang, I'll take you away."

Brother Zhuang believed it, stood up shakily, and just as he got close to Lin Yu, Lin Yu stuck his fingers into his neck. Zhang Da in disbelief.

The stench of blood filled the dark room. Lin Yu absorbed the vital energy from Brother Zhuang's body and tossed it towards Zhang Quan like trash.

Zhang Quan thought it was some kind of attack and tried to retreat, but this gave Lin Yu the opportunity to slip out of the window and strike Jiang Nuo with a palm full of yin energy.

"I almost forgot about you..."

Jiang Nuo was hit and flung violently into the corner.

He coughed up blood, his expression showing a moment of pain, before he groaned, "This is tough."

During the escape, the Ghost King left several more wounds on Jiang Nuo's body, leaving him in a sorry state.

Even though she was bleeding and injured, and could lean against the corner to catch her breath for a moment, Jiang Nuo still showed no fear.

On the contrary, the aura that Jiang Nuo disliked about Lin Yu grew stronger, which made Jiang Nuo very dissatisfied.

"Master!" Zhang Quan flew up behind him, extremely nervous.

Lin Yu's feigned gentleness twisted to the extreme, " Jiang Nuo... Jiang Nuo, you've finally fallen into my hands! I'm going to kill you today!"

Jiang Nuo slowly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and the stronger his murderous intent, the deeper his smile became.

Jiang Nuo took out the jade bone and, with a radiant smile, blew the crushed powder onto the Ghost King's face as the Ghost King suddenly realized something and looked on in fear and disbelief.

"If you recognize this bone, who are you...?"

The pool of people who knew he had snatched the bone were only those who had participated in the dungeon at the same time.

"This bone... how were you able to bring it out!"

The Ghost King was no longer as relaxed as before. He instinctively wanted to escape, but found that the room had already been entangled with red ropes.

The bone of the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts in the dungeon, which absorbed most of Jiang Nuo's power, is also... the switch to sanity for this madman.

The reason we no longer have any reservations is because Jiang Nuo has lost his bones, but now...

No, that won't work.

The Ghost King suddenly looked at Lin Yu, a wicked plan forming in his mind.

Jiang Nuo smiled, her eyes turned red, and her body's meridians were filled with power, soothing the hidden pain in her wounds and continuously strengthening her body.

Lin Yu realized something was wrong and tried to rush forward to kill him, but this time it wasn't so easy.

Jiang Nuo easily grabbed his throat, pulled him close to her eyes, and looked him over with suspicion. "Your strength is strange; I've never seen it before."

"In other words... it's very dangerous and disadvantageous to me."

"Let go...!" Lin Yu tried to struggle, but he didn't even notice that the Ghost King didn't dare to step forward anymore.

Relying on his An Yin power, he grabbed Jiang Nuo's shoulder tightly, his chest heaving, his eyes sharp, and his yin energy clashing with his Spiritual Power.

"I hate this power."

Jiang Nuo murmured, her fingers tightened, and her hand, which had been hanging by her side, grasped in the air, revealing a dagger in her palm.

With a look of fear finally crossing Lin Yu's eyes, the dagger plunged into his heart.

"Well..."

Lin Yu suddenly lost his strength. The petals that bloomed between his meridians withered, but the buds became even more vibrant, taking root in every meridian and turning into nourishment for himself.

[Detection indicates weakening of the protagonist's power in this world; the Save the Villain Plan is 40% complete; points +500]

Jiang Nuo:!!

Her red eyes flickered slightly as she stared in surprise at Lin Yu, who had already collapsed, and twisted the dagger plunged into his heart once more.

"You're the main character, no wonder..."

No wonder this person had ridiculously good luck in the previous episodes of the live variety show.

If Jiang Nuo hadn't shattered the jade bones, she would have revived Lin Yu, studied him again, and earned more points.

But not now; Jiang Nuo just finds it fun.

"What... the main character?"
