Burn Jade and Stone Alike

"No?!"

Looking at the withered flower in Li Baimei's palm, someone stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Can this thing really be used right away after you get it?"

Some people looked at Li Baimei with disbelief.

"How can it be so simple?"

Of course, most people at this moment only have a simple thought.

Is this for real or fake?

They knew that the words Li Baimei had just shouted didn't sound simple; he must be doing something.

After all, the fact that the melon rind beside the other party could withstand the old man's attack showed that the other party must be someone of considerable importance.

But knowing it is one thing, seeing it like this now seems utterly unbelievable.

Even if you acquire other powers, you need enough time to comprehend, digest, and master them before you can use them.

But now, after just saying this, you can immediately start using it.

Although it wasn't like just now where the age of a powerful Tai Clan member was forcibly reversed, even this kind of acceleration ability is far beyond what other forces can match.

Gu De stared intently at Li Baimei, observing the nonchalant, even slightly mocking expression on the other's face.

He suddenly felt that he and Li Baimei were becoming increasingly estranged.

This Li Baimei is completely unlike the person I know, whether it's his abilities or his methods, not to mention his current Power of Time over time.

Could it be that Li Baimei have been possessed?

Gu De couldn't help but think about it.

If that were the case, he could accept it somewhat.

After all, it's hardest to be satisfied when someone you know becomes successful.

In contrast, although Chu Ping'an had long known that the Power of Time was probably from the other party, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel unbalanced now that he had personally witnessed this being confirmed.

The Power of Time! This is the Power of Time! If he had such abilities, who knows how much more he could do.

Of course, none of this matters; one day I will also gain the Power of Time.

But, as fellow transmigrators, why was the other person able to obtain this power before me?

The one who is most upset right now is Jin Wuliang.

However, he did not erupt on the spot as everyone expected. Instead, he stood there stunned for a few breaths before staring intently at Li Baimei as if he had come to his senses.

How did you do that?

This time, everyone could clearly hear a hint of exasperation in his voice.

However, everyone could understand this. After all, the old man had higher cultivation and was more patient. If it were them, they would probably have exploded by now.

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to Li Baimei, and then they heard him say with a smile.

"Didn't you give it to me?"

These words gave everyone a new perspective on Li Baimei.

The opponent certainly has more cards up their sleeve than they currently possess; they likely have even stronger resources at play.

Otherwise, they certainly wouldn't dare to be so sarcastic and unsettling.

As expected, upon hearing this, Jin Wuliang vividly demonstrated what it meant to be "furious to the point of bursting into a rage."

He immediately burst into angry curses.

"I'll give it to your mom!"

As he spoke, he suddenly attacked.

In an instant, the entire World in the Painting began to tremble.

Sensing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, nervously staring at the pieces of melon rind around Li Baimei's eyebrows, thinking, "Please, please don't let them spoil."

The old man now understood that the other party was truly enraged; if they couldn't withstand the attack, the remaining strength would likely wipe them out.

"Boom boom boom--"

A barrage of terrifying attacks rained down on Li Baimei's figure as if they were free.

Despite the relentless bombardment, the melon rinds around him appeared even more vibrant and lush.

Although everyone watched with bated breath, the melon rind miraculously held on.

After all that commotion, Jin Wuliang finally stopped.

He looked much better than before, as if his impotent rage had actually had a therapeutic effect.

He looked at Li Baimei and reminded her.

"Kid, the world is a big place."

"Don't think that mastering the Power of Time is a good thing."

Even if you get it now, it will be very difficult for you to keep it.

After a pause, Jin Wuliang's voice held a deeper meaning.

"What happened today is not just known to you, me, heaven, and earth."

"With so many people and so many eyes watching, if this news gets out..."

Jin Wuliang didn't say what he meant next, but everyone understood what he meant.

This is clearly a blatant threat.

Of course, this threat is also based on evidence.

However, before Lu Changzhi could respond, one of the people from the Huaxia Sect spoke up.

"He's a member of our Huaxia Sect."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone next to him raised a hand and covered his mouth, saying angrily.

"Damn it, you idiot, don't you dare say anything more."

Whether the old man's previous dismissal of the Huaxia Sect was just boasting is now unclear to everyone.

But if it's not just boasting, then if even this old man was drawn to this Power of Time, what about others? What about other forces?

Lu Changzhi glanced at the two of them, smiled, and said nothing.

Then, his gaze returned to Jin Wuliang, and he spoke.

"If I can't protect it, how can you?"

Jin Wuliang snorted coldly, still finding Lu Changzhi's attitude somewhat unbearable.

His words immediately became sharper.

"Kid, don't really think I can't do anything to you."

After saying that, he gave a cold laugh.

"You are now in this World in the Painting."

"Previously, I was only worried that it would affect the Power of Time, which is why I didn't do anything."

"But now that the Power of Time is in your hands, I have no more reservations."

"Do you know what makes the World in the Painting so unique?"

Lu Changzhi nodded.

"You say."

Jin Wuliang snorted coldly, offering no reply, but instead looked at A Luo and said...

"Tell him."

A Luo looked at Lu Changzhi and said.

"If I wanted to, I could choose to perish together with the enemy."

"No one trapped in this World in the Painting can leave."

A Luo spoke, Jin Wuliang looked at Lu Changzhi with amusement.

He wasn't making things up just now.

He had been weighing the options while this Power of Time was still present.

However, it remains uncertain whether the Power of Time will still exist once the World in the Painting completely disappears.

But now that we've already arrived at each other's place, there's no need to dwell on these things.

Either you entrust the Power of Time to yourself, or you get the whole person to cooperate with you.

Otherwise, let alone the Power of Time, the opponent wouldn't even be able to spare their life.
