By combining these two points, he immediately realized that the man's strength was extremely strong, most likely stronger than his.

"Buzz!"

A harsh sound of breaking the air rang out again.

In response to the man, it wasn't the words of the assailant from the shadows, but another surge of Blood Qi Power containing terrifying energy.

This time, with his guard up, the man quickly waved the Corpse Nurturing Banner in his hand, tearing open a pitch-black crack in the air, swallowing all the incoming Blood Qi Power completely.

Another breaking sound exploded.

Accompanied by the sound, a figure as fast as lightning flashed out of the woods, carrying massive Blood Qi Power as it charged towards the man.

The figure moved extremely fast.

So fast that even the man, whose Biological Level was as high as the first rank of Epic Level, had not yet reacted, and his head was blown to pieces by a punch, along with his upper body, exploding into a rain of blood that scattered all over the ground.

Only the lower half of the body, still standing on the ground, was struggling in its death throes, desperately trying to regenerate a new upper body, a new head.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

For another punch of immense power soon came, turning even this remaining lower half into a cloud of blood mist entwined with wisps of black aura.

Even as he turned into a rain of blood, the man still tried to regenerate from his blood and flesh.

Large amounts of Blood Beads floating in the air rapidly condensed together at an extremely fast speed, forming a human shape.

However, no sooner had the human form taken shape than it was again shattered by an incoming punch into a rain of blood.

"Ignite!"

A lighting sound was heard.

The rain of blood suddenly each droplet ignited into a red flame, and in the blink of an eye, it was burned into nothingness in the air, completely losing the possibility of regeneration.

Su Jiujie, who had witnessed this scene with her own eyes, was completely stunned.

Shock and disbelief were written all over her innocent yet desirous face.

Lin Zichen?

How could it be him?

The man was an Epic Level Expert from the Land of Oblivion. How could Lin Zichen reduce the team to a puddle of blood with just two punches?

When Su Jiujie recognized the face of the newcomer, realizing it was Lin Zichen whom she had long coveted, her heart suddenly stirred up a tempest.

Just a year ago, Lin Zichen was still an Ordinary Level being, easily toyed with by one of her Ordinary Level avatars.

Yet, in just the span of one year, Lin Zichen had grown capable of easily killing an Epic Level Expert who even she could do nothing against. It was unbelievable.

As Su Jiujie felt the absurdity,

Lin Zichen, who had instantly killed the man, also felt it was absurd and found it incredibly hard to believe.

Before reaching the creek, he had been prepared for a desperate fight with the man.

For this, he had specifically instructed Shen Qinghan not to follow too closely, to stay far away.

In this way, should anything unexpected happen at that time, Shen Qinghan would have a chance to escape.

But what he hadn't anticipated was that the man from the Land of Oblivion, whose Biological Level was as high as the first rank of Epic, couldn't withstand even one of his punches, having his head and upper body exploded by the blow.

This outcome was truly unexpected.

"Lin Zi, is he dead?"

Seeing that the fight seemed to have ended, Shen Qinghan, who was hiding at the end of the creek, immediately sprang from the water to Lin Zichen's side and cautiously asked.

As she asked, her perception was turned up to the maximum, constantly monitoring every little movement around her.

After all, the man who had been killed in an instant was an Epic Level Expert, and no one could guarantee whether the enemy had some special method of avoiding death, allowing him to survive a fatal blow.

In such a situation, one really had to be cautious.

"He should be dead."

Lin Zichen sensed hundreds of times in an instant, and not once did he sense the man's presence, assuming that he must be truly dead.

At least, that body was definitely dead.

As for whether the opponent was just an insignificant avatar, that was unknown.

After a moment to collect himself,

Lin Zichen didn't waste a moment and immediately turned to Su Jiujie and asked, "Can you still run?"

Su Jiujie shook her head, "My body is too overstretched, I can't run."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen didn't say much and immediately pulled Shen Qinghan, who was beside him, into his arms.

Then, he used Blink Step to swiftly move in front of Su Jiujie and also pulled her into his embrace.

Once he had both of them in his arms, Lin Zichen immediately had the thought, and his Blood Qi Power erupted, rushing toward the direction of Zhao Wuyan, the team captain, with the two in tow.

He wasn't sure whether the aliens from the Land of Oblivion would come after them, so he needed to hurry to Zhao Wuyan's side to inform him of the situation, to prevent any accidents from happening later.

Su Jiujie, held tightly by him, couldn't help but feel an unusual sensation in her heart.

It wasn't a flutter of romantic excitement, but a strong sense of incongruity.

Even now, it all felt surreal to her, like even in a dream, it would be hard to imagine the scenes currently unfolding.

An ordinary Earthling from a year ago had become an expert capable of instantly killing an Epic Level Expert; it was monstrous, almost horrifying to hear.

Lin Zichen had no idea Su Jiujie was thinking all this; he just kept his head down and rushed forward, the air currents from his sprint rustling the dense forest.

"Why are you being chased by the aliens from the Land of Oblivion? What exactly happened? Please give me a brief summary," he asked Su Jiujie, who was in his arms, as they continued toward Zhao Wuyan.

Hearing the question, Su Jiujie stabilized her emotions and soon replied, "My residence, Green Hills Ancient Mountain, is currently under siege by Elder Tree from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Lord of Silence from the Land of Oblivion."

"My aunt, who is the Mountain Lord of Green Hills Ancient Mountain, asked me to go to the Eastern Region to find her old flame and request his help."

"Following my aunt's arrangement, I secretly left Green Hills Ancient Mountain through the Teleportation Array and headed toward the Eastern Region. I hadn't gotten far from the mountain when I encountered the Epic Level Expert you just easily killed."

"..."

Lin Zichen nodded, "I see."

After answering the question,

with a moment of hesitation, Su Jiujie couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "I want to know, why has your power increased so dramatically in just one year?"

"Because my Evolutionary Talent is high," Lin Zichen answered calmly.

Su Jiujie felt that Lin Zichen was definitely concealing something.

In just one year, to evolve from an Ordinary Level being to an expert capable of instantly killing an Epic Level alien was not something achievable merely by having Evolutionary Talent.

Su Jiujie thought that Lin Zichen must have acquired a considerable amount of Evolution Resources in the past year, coupled with his staggering Evolutionary Talent, which allowed him to evolve so rapidly.

Even so, Lin Zichen having his current level of power was still incredibly shocking.

Upon self-reflection, Su Jiujie felt that she, despite consuming countless miraculous Evolution Resources, couldn't achieve evolving from an Ordinary being into an Epic Level Expert in just one year.

As she pondered, Su Jiujie suddenly contemplated an important issue.

Did she still qualify to have Lin Zichen as her bed servant?

It seemed she no longer had that privilege.

If anyone were to take that role, it would have to be her serving as Lin Zichen's bed servant...

She was shocked.

Living in symbiosis with a Fox Demon.

...

...

The news of the internal strife was considered good news by the townspeople as it helped escort Su Jiujie to the Eastern Region to notify the old geezer.

Could it be a trap?

Some people were worried.

Others said that even if it was a trap, it was worth it.

Qin Chuan called a few experts and headed out to escort her.

An insider couldn't sit still anymore.

The Deputy City Lord, Bai Wubian.

Suddenly attacked Su Jiujie on the road.

Struck,

of the nine tails, only one remained, and dying one more time would mean true death.
