American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

He couldn't help but compare himself to the experts he knew.

Such a level of skill is something that even Lai Hengli seems to fall slightly short of, let alone his teacher Zhang Shouzhong.

Of all the people Zhu Mingyao had ever met, perhaps only the sect leader, Lin Xuansheng, could truly outmaneuver him.

As fellow rising stars of the younger generation, he could see the young man's talent, and the two little witches naturally could as well.

In an instant, multicolored light flashed, dazzling the eyes. Force field armor, elemental absorption, psionic shield, anti-magic barrier... the two of them cast five or six protective spells in one go, covering their side completely.

"Hehe, such beautiful and adorable kittens are truly a rare sight..."

The handsome young man slightly pushed off with his feet, and a pebble shot out like a bullet. With a soft thud, it opened a hideous bloody hole in Drake's thigh, who was lying on the ground!

"Ah!" Stimulated by this severe blow, the porn director, who had been groaning in a daze, suddenly shuddered and let out a high-pitched scream.

"See, if you had brought me snacks of this caliber, why would I have gotten angry?"

The familiar sound of complaints, coupled with the stimulation of excruciating pain, barely restored some clarity to Drake's eyes. He looked at the person in front of him, his face streaked with tears and snot, his facial muscles contorted with intense fear.

"Master...Master, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will find you even better pastries..."

Before they had even heard half of what was said, Zhu Mingyao and the other two realized the meaning behind it.

What snacks? Of course, they were a few girls who had almost been drained of their blood.

So why even think about the other party's identity?

Zhu Mingyao's lips parted slightly, and a few words, barely audible, were transmitted to his two companions through magic. The other party was clearly a boss-level big shot among dark creatures, and it would be best for the three of them, the little newbies, to retreat quickly and be prepared to retreat at any time.

The handsome young man's eyes flickered, as if he had noticed something, but he only smiled gently.

"...Please forgive me, just like when I first tried to hurt you..." Drake, writhing in pain on the ground, continued to plead with his head on the ground.

The handsome young man clapped his hands, then laughed as if he had just realized something:

"Oh right, I almost forgot. At the beginning, you secretly poisoned the wine, trying to teach me a lesson for being jealous of you at the banquet."

He waved his hand with a smile: "Don't worry, I only punished you by making you my servant. I always follow the rules and will never repeat myself."

Rules are rules. Even if they complained about the poor quality of the snacks, they only gave you a light beating, not killed you, right?

Seeing that his "master" seemed to have no intention of pursuing his incompetence any further, Drake, whose forehead was already bleeding from the kowtow, felt slightly relieved. He glanced at the two wary girls beside him, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and quickly said:

“Great master, I recognize that blonde. She’s the daughter of hotel tycoon Montgomery. They’re an old-fashioned, very strict family. This girl must still be a virgin; her blood is definitely top-quality…”

"Damn it!" Madison was furious that he dared to do something bad now. He gritted his teeth and his palms glowed with crimson light. A fireball with a long tail of flame shot out at him!

A loud "Bang!"

Amidst the thick stench of blood, mangled remains and shattered bones were scattered everywhere, and Drake's small body was, unsurprisingly, blown to pieces.

The golden-haired witch was stunned for a moment after the successful, one-shot kill. She had never expected that her casual attack, which was originally just to vent her anger, would be so easy to succeed, and that the scumbag's so-called master did not stop her at all.

"Oh dear..." After several breaths, the handsome young man belatedly realized what was happening and put on a look of great shock.

His face was filled with grief, and his finger trembled slightly as he pointed at the three men, "You actually cruelly murdered my loyal servant..."

What kind of reaction time do you have? It's almost as slow as Slowpoke's!

Even though the situation seemed a bit bad, Zhu Mingyao still muttered a curse in his heart, finding the young man's affected manner unbearable.

"Since you killed him..." The handsome young man changed his tone, drawing out his words, his sorrowful expression turning into cunning and wickedness.

"...He killed one of my servants, so give me another in return. I'll take her..." As he spoke, a wicked glint appeared in his dark pupils as he looked at Madison with boundless greed.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Mingyao grabbed the two of them and retreated rapidly. Pale blue spiritual light surged up like waves, carrying the three of them towards the pool that was connected to the outside world!

If things turn bad, running away is the first priority!

While continuing our fight against the epidemic, I'll resume double updates on the first of next month (￣.￣)

Chapter 158 Devastated

"Don't rush off! Luckily, I overheard you planning to leave without saying goodbye, or you might have actually gotten away."

As the mocking voices rang out, Zhu Mingyao, who was activating the [Mysterious Nether Water Escape] technique, felt as if he had crashed into an ancient, unmelting iceberg, and was bounced back with excruciating pain all over his body.

The light shattered and scattered, revealing the disheveled figures of the three. Glancing sideways, they noticed that the pool connecting to the lake outside had somehow been coated with a thick, dark layer.

Zhu Mingyao tightened the hidden pouch at his waist, and just as he was about to unleash all the various magical items inside, Zoe suddenly called out:

"We are official members of the Witches' Sisterhood, students of President Fiona and Headmistress Cordelia. This nobleman of the night should think carefully about the consequences of his actions!"

The young sorcerer abruptly stopped, secretly praising the timid girl's quick wit. Witches' stance on good and evil has always been ambiguous, and they have some private dealings with certain dark factions. If they can use this opportunity to escape by revealing their backers, that would be the best outcome.

In contrast, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has always been more traditional and has never had any dealings with non-human races. If it rashly brings up its own name, it will only backfire.

After revealing his identity, the handsome young man's eyes, which seemed to be painted with black ink, shifted slightly, and the greedy and wicked look on his face lessened a bit.

He hesitated for a moment, put his hands behind his back, nodded and said:

"Since they are disciples of two great witches, they should be given some preferential treatment..."

"Alright then..." The handsome young man snapped his fingers.

"You can attack with all your might. As long as you can inflict even the slightest damage on me, I'll let you go! Otherwise, that blonde girl will have to stay!"

The young man's tone was abrupt and unpredictable.

The three of them experienced fluctuating emotions.

Upon hearing the other party's suggestion, Zhu Mingyao suddenly felt instinctively that something seemed amiss.

His mind raced as he pondered what he had just heard and seen.

The victim who was drained of half his blood but was not killed...

Drake was simply injured and left to fend for himself...

Despite displaying extreme malice, it only prevented everyone from escaping...

He kept emphasizing the rules during his conversation with Drake...

A sudden inspiration flashed through Zhu Mingyao's mind, and a somewhat absurd possibility emerged!

While he hesitated, Madison could no longer hold back. From the moment he started, the young man's nakedly aggressive gaze had been sweeping over her, and his cold, slippery spiritual power was like a venomous snake desperately trying to burrow into her arms, making her feel disgusted and giving her goosebumps.

"You said it!" With the girl's angry roar, a giant firebird with a wingspan of several meters flew out, carrying a heat that could melt gold and iron, and charged menacingly towards the handsome young man!

"No...!" Zhu Mingyao hurriedly tried to warn him, but it was too late.

The next second, a monstrous dark evil force swept out, easily crushing the giant firebird and transforming into a huge curtain of night that enveloped the three of them, accompanied by the young man's maniacal and triumphant laughter.

"You did it! You really did it! Haha, thank you! Thank you so much!"

Just as I guessed!

Zhu Mingyao gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, "This bastard is just trying to trick us into attacking first!"

He was bound by some kind of constraint and simply couldn't bring himself to kill!

The black mist, seemingly tangible, spread boundlessly, instantly occupying every space in the cave. All light vanished, and all perception of the outside world was cut off. For a moment, the three of them felt as if they were in an endless night, and their magical power became sluggish and unresponsive.

Watching the layers of defensive spells they had laid down silently crumble and vanish under the dark aura, the various spells that the two little witches had desperately cast were like mud sinking into the sea.

Zhu Mingyao scratched his palm with his left fingernail, causing a few drops of blood to spurt out. He then grabbed a gilded bronze talisman and smashed it down hard!

"The radiant sun rises in the east, subjugating all demons and deterring all ghosts!"

As the [Sun Slaying Evil Decree] was unleashed, a dazzling golden light rose like the sun in the east, slowly tearing a gap in the dark night sky.

However, the next second, a fair and slender hand reached out and grasped the ball of golden light in its palm. After a brief stalemate, endless black energy covered it up.

A sickening metallic creak rang out, and the dark figure fell to the ground. This rare Xuanmen demon-slaying talisman had now turned into a twisted piece of scrap metal.

With a single blow, the talisman was shattered. The fair hand, bearing slight burn marks, pushed forward without pausing. Dark evil energy condensed like a mountain, heavily shattering Zhu Mingyao's protective golden armor spell, sending him flying with blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

The handsome young man laughed wildly, walking as if he were strolling in a garden, deftly reaching her despite the raging flames shooting out from Madison's clasped hands.

The crimson flames of sorcery, powerful enough to melt steel, were completely swallowed up by the black mist before they even reached three feet in front of him, not even managing to touch the hem of his clothes.

A powerful spiritual force pressed down, rendering Madison immobile. In the little witch's terrified and hateful gaze, the handsome young man grinned wickedly, stretched out his large hand, pierced through the magical shield, whistled lightly, and wantonly kneaded her tender face.

"Relax, I haven't seen such exquisite snacks in a long time. As a sign of respect for fine food, I'll let you enjoy yourselves first..."

With a backhand swing, he unleashed a ethereal crimson blade, slicing through the thick, dense net Zoe had summoned with unstoppable force, forcing her into a corner. The young man laughed heartily.

"Don't...even think about it!"

The blonde girl's large, emerald eyes widened, and a lioness-like roar emanated from her petite body. With her magical power circulating rapidly, she temporarily broke free from her restraints.

She let out a sharp shriek, and layers of fiery red spiritual light surged around her, like a blooming rose, pushing away the evil thoughts pressing down on her.

With a whoosh, a phantom image of a girl with eyes of lava gemstones and skin of crimson flames emerged from behind Madison.

Zoe, who was being forced to roll on the ground by the blood-red blade and desperately trying to evade the enemy's pursuit, also let out a scream as if by telepathy. Her golden-brown waterfall of straight hair instantly turned deep purple, and a graceful black shadow covered in fluorescent spider webs, carrying a mysterious allure, surged up from behind her.

The witch's destined spirit!

Similar to the practice of taking refuge in a deity in the esoteric Buddhist tradition, witches in this world also establish a natal spirit within their souls during their spiritual practice.

The essence of a Spirit Bond is an aggregation of a witch's spiritual power and a certain concept. As the caster grows, they can gain additional unique blessings from it. If a practitioner can reach a very high level on this path, then one day, the Spirit Bond will merge with the original body and soul, stepping into an incredible realm.

Flame Girl!

Lady Spider!

These two spirit bonds are the witch twins' trump card!

Crimson flames surged, and venomous purple threads crisscrossed! They splashed a rich color onto the monotonous and dull pitch-black realm, creating a powerful force that seemed to rival it!

Despite their vastly different strengths, they complemented each other perfectly, showcasing their remarkable chemistry.

With their trump card revealed, the perilous situation was instantly turned around!

I'm feeling a bit better, so I'll resume double updates tomorrow and aim for the minimum wage in December! (^ω^)

Chapter 159 Fierce Battle, Summoning the Dragon

On the vast lake, in a secluded harbor, a luxury cruise ship and a small speedboat are moored side by side, with several water birds standing on them, leisurely drying their wings.

Nestled on three sides by towering cliffs, this place is sheltered from the elements, and the water is usually calm. But today, however, it is unusual, with occasional, messy, fine ripples appearing out of nowhere.

If someone were to carefully examine its source, they would find that it seems to be... somewhere underwater where the cliff meets the shore.
