I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The scene was extremely tragic.

The area around the forest has been almost completely leveled, with deep pits and cracks everywhere.

Zhang Yangqing walked steadily through the ruins and stood before Yin Kui, who was tightly bound by nine black chains, suspended in mid-air like livestock awaiting slaughter.

Yin Kui's face was ashen, his breath was weak, and his eyes were filled with resentment, anger, deep frustration, and a trace of confusion.

He lost, he lost miserably.

I never expected to be challenged by someone of a higher level, and that my opponent would actually succeed.

Even a genius like him has experienced something like this.

Zhang Yangqing extended his right hand, gently raised his index finger, and placed it on Yin Kui's heart.

There was no light emanating from his fingertips, yet they exuded a chill more deadly than any divine weapon.

He looked calmly at Yin Kui and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Yin Kui struggled to lift his head, looking at Zhang Yangqing's calm and expressionless face, and at those strangely colored golden and silver eyes.

His lips suddenly twitched, revealing a twisted smile that was a mixture of madness, fervor, and a final thirst for knowledge.

With his last ounce of strength, he asked in a weak but clear voice, "Who are you?"

Zhang Yangqing looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then, word by word, gave his answer in a voice only he could hear: "Strange."

"."

The madness, fervor, doubt, and resentment in Yin Kui's eyes—all the brilliance—faded and vanished the instant he heard those two words, like a candle being blown out.

It turned out to be the case.

It wasn't that they were defeated by some exceptionally talented human genius who challenged them beyond their level.

Instead, it was defeated by a bizarre entity that came from outside the rules of the world and possessed unknown and terrifying abilities.

His proud Hidden Clan bloodline, Dragon Blood tempering, and Initial Saint Realm cultivation were utterly vulnerable in the face of the opponent's unpredictable "contamination."

Everything makes sense now.

Feeling relieved? Perhaps, after all, I now know the reason for the defeat.

But more than anything, there was a deep-seated despair and coldness.

If even strange beings begin to actively hunt down these native prodigies, the Undying Mountain Realm is likely to face unprecedented turmoil and calamity.

Moreover, the strange thing in front of us is not just ordinary strangeness.

Unfortunately, he found out too late.

Zhang Yangqing didn't look at Yin Kui again.

The index finger, which is placed against his heart, is gently pushed forward a little.

"Pfft."

A soft sound.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no brilliant energy brilliance.

Only a single, exquisitely condensed beam of light, a mixture of gold and silver, burst forth from Zhang Yangqing's fingertip, easily piercing Yin Kuina's chest, which was said to be comparable to a divine weapon, precisely annihilating his heart and all life force.

Yin Kui's body trembled violently, then went completely limp, his head drooping limply.

The last glimmer of light in their eyes vanished completely.

This leader of the younger generation of the Hidden Clan, a prodigy with ancient bloodline, tempered by dragon blood, and strength enough to rival a half-saint, perished in this remote forest ruin in a way he could never have imagined—a truly humiliating end. Zhang Yangqing slowly withdrew his fingers, and the nine jet-black chains wrapped around Yin Kui's corpse seemed to shrink back into the void as if they were alive, disappearing without a trace.

Yin Kui's body fell to the cold ground with a thud, kicking up a little dust.

All around, there was a deathly silence.

The only sounds were the faint rustling of leaves in the distant forest and the almost uncontrollable, rapid beating of the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes.

All of this felt like being in an absurd and terrifying dream to the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes.

She witnessed the whole thing, but still couldn't accept it.

This completely overturned her understanding!

Those golden-purple demonic eyes, that terrifying erosion, that horrifying handprint that summons unknown beings, and finally, those pitch-black chains that imprison the void.

The methods Zhang Yangqing displayed all exceeded her imagination of the Celestial Realm, and even exceeded her understanding of conventional combat methods!

When she looked at Zhang Yangqing, her eyes no longer held only the awe and fear she had shown before, but also a sense of dread and confusion as if she were facing an unknown ghost or god.

How many cards does this man really have up his sleeve?
Where exactly is his limit?

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and carefully moved her feet toward the center of the battlefield.

She needed to confirm whether Yin Kui was really dead, and she also needed to get a closer look at Zhang Yangqing's current state.

She approached Yin Kui's body, crouched down, and carefully examined it.

His breath was completely gone, his heart was pierced and annihilated, his life force was cut off, and even his soul seemed to have dissipated in that final blow.

It is now confirmed that this hidden prodigy has fallen.

"He's really dead." A huge wave of emotions surged within the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes.

She stood up, turned around, and met Zhang Yangqing's gaze.

At this moment, Zhang Yangqing's face was even paler than before, and his breathing was somewhat disordered. Although his eyes had returned to their normal black color, the gold and purple had disappeared.

However, the bloodstains at the corners of his eyes and his slightly dilated pupils indicated that his series of actions had taken a huge toll, and he might even have suffered a significant backlash.

He looked very weak.

The thought flashed through the mind of the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes.

Almost simultaneously, a more secretive and alluring idea, like a venomous snake, quietly peeked out.

However, the thought had barely sprouted, and before it could even form the slightest hint of something unusual in her eyes, when Zhang Yangqing's voice rang out, calm and indifferent, yet piercing through all her hopes like an ice pick.

Zhang Yangqing looked at her and said calmly, "I'm very weak right now. Aren't you going to consider killing me?"

"boom--!"

These words were like an invisible thunderclap, exploding in the mind of the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes!

Instantly, she felt as if the air around her had frozen, and the temperature plummeted to freezing point, even more chilling than the cold corpse of Yin Kui beside her!

She suddenly met Zhang Yangqing's gaze.

That gaze no longer held any of its previous calmness; it was now filled with a pure, condescending scrutiny, as if a god were looking down upon ants!
Aloof, indifferent, ruthless—no, that's not right! This guy has absolutely no human emotions!

He will not be swayed by beauty, will not pity the weak, will not fear the powerful, and will not trust or have any expectations of others!
Trying to outsmart him or having any wicked thoughts in front of him is like dancing on the edge of a precipice, where you could be smashed to pieces at any moment!

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes instantly broke out in a cold sweat, her back soaked with sweat, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest!

She dominated her original world and was a powerful figure. Deep down, she possessed the arrogance and cunning of a strong person.
But in this instant, under Zhang Yangqing's utterly indifferent gaze, all arrogance and scheming were crushed to pieces, leaving only the most primal fear of death and the instinct for survival!
She had no doubt that if her answer or reaction was even slightly off, she would follow in Yin Kui's footsteps in the next instant! Perhaps even more silently and miserably, she would die! (End of Chapter)
