I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Could it be that... could it be that my older sister wants to play some kind of special game with Chiyuki?!

While lost in thought, Ye Qianxue suddenly felt her older sister, like a cat with its bones removed, slump into her arms, her eyes tightly closed, unresponsive no matter how she called her.

"Huh! Big sister?" Ye Qianxue panicked. Was her big sister giving her last words?!

A strange equation has appeared in her current thought process.

—Sister, I entrust my body to you = Give my body a proper burial.

"Big sister—ouch, that hurts! Ah, Master sister, look at big sister!!!"

Ye Qianxue asked as if grasping at a straw, and Mu Mu tapped her head gently, saying:

"What are you yelling about? Little Momo is just... well, how should I put it... daydreaming! Anyway, just make sure she's safe and sound, she'll be back in a bit!"

Two months ago, Mu Mu had seen Yan Ziming in this strange state. She was unresponsive no matter how she was called, but her vital signs were all normal. At that time, Mu Mu even wanted to sleep with her.

"Take good care of yourself, I'm about to leave."

"Hey? Master, are you running away?"

Mu Mu gave her another punch, and said coquettishly, "Shut up, can't you talk properly! What do you mean by 'slip away'? I was just making a strategic retreat!"

Given her abilities and personality, she would never admit that this was a lapse in attention, nor would she need to.

"Take good care of Xiao Momo, I will come back again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Mu slowly created a spatial rift in front of him, suppressing its fluctuations to a very small range, and stepped into it.

Luther, who was confronting Qin Tianhai outside, seemed to sense something and roared, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The giant wave in front of him emitted a dazzling light, yet it remained solid and unyielding, blocking his way.

"Is it an illusion? No, the Milky Way is here too, which means—!!" Luther was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized.

He couldn't hold back any longer. The white light surged from his cane, and his whole body glowed, like a divine lamp fixed in place. A phantom appeared behind him, its hands forming a seal, using its unparalleled power to affect the stability of space and prevent Mu Mu from teleporting.

"You can't hold back anymore? I'll have a go at you, Lao Hai, let's switch."

A blue-purple demonic sword suddenly appeared in front of Luther. It was dazzling and actually cut through the light in front of him, almost piercing through Luther's body!

One after another, beams of light flowed, the endless blue light seemed to be burning, robbing the life force of the white light, while at the same time there was an extremely strong and intense ancient force, about to shatter the phantom behind Luther.

The unstable space suddenly became incredibly solid, and Mu Mu completely disappeared from this sea area.

"Bastard!"

Luther roared, his domain condensing into a single point, flowing into the phantom. His cane appeared in the phantom's hand, its tip colliding with the Thunder Cutter, unleashing a dazzling light that soared into the heavens.

It was as if a vast ocean had swept over, submerging the heavens and the earth, and with a clang, the raging waves were suppressed, and the place exploded.

Like a cataclysmic event, the sea level was dented thousands of meters down, and the unparalleled water pressure crushed everything in its path. Then, it rebounded violently, creating a giant wave that reached the sky!

With a whooshing sound, the Raikiri, under the control of Yan Ziming and Mo Xin, returned to Yan Shan's hands, its flowing luster becoming even more mysterious.

"Holy crap, that's amazing! Mo Xin, did you feel it?"

Yan Ziming was greatly shocked. The clash between the two supreme experts opened a door to a new world for her, making her tremble with emotion and gain some insights.

Their attacks all carried a great will, each different, which merged with the attack, as if giving the attack its own life and making it even more powerful!

Could this be the key to breaking through to the ninth level?

Chapter 89 You can leave now.

As everyone knows, the biggest difference between the seventh and eighth tiers lies in one skill – Complete Unity.

It can condense the entire domain into a single point, unleashing an attack no less powerful than that of a ninth-tier expert. Ordinary seventh-tier ability users would be forced to kneel before such an attack.

So what are the differences between the eighth and ninth orders?

Now Yan Ziming has come to the heart of the problem—willpower!

You can't rigidly follow your own path; you must have your own willpower to leave an unshakable mark on your path, and that mark is your own will!

"Well, this is just my guess for now..."

Yan Ziming chuckled. She was only at the seventh level, still some distance from the eighth. It was too early for her to be thinking about how to break through to the ninth level.

Right now, it's better to watch the battle between these two supreme experts for a while longer and gain more insights into things we don't usually encounter!

"Mo Xin, Mo Xin?"

Including the previous questions, Yan Ziming called Mo Xin three times without any response. He realized that Mo Xin had fallen into a dazed state, like smoke and illusion, as if she would be blown away by the wind with a gentle touch.

"Speaking of which, Rachel's cane just now touched..."

Yan Ziming seemed to be thinking about something, and decided to try a few more times.

Right now, outside.

Luther's face was grim. Although he was not injured, his weapon had suffered inexplicable damage, as if it had lost a part of its spirit.

His old rival, Yan Shan, had a strange weapon!

All of this happened after his cane collided with the knife, and the cause could only be found in the knife!

Upon closer inspection, Luther discovered that the knife was indeed the one Yan Ziming was holding; it was a translucent blue-purple color and emitted a more solid aura than his cane.

It's not just a slight lead, it's several generations ahead; it's not even on the same level.

"What exactly is that knife made of?!"

Luther's eyes burned with desire. He had a feeling that the knife was worth no less than the sea serpent's crystal core, and perhaps even more!

"You're so unabashedly greedy. What are you up to now?"

Yan Shan's mocking voice rang out as he suddenly appeared a hundred meters in front of Luther, his entire body covered in a layer of shimmering, earth-yellow scales.

This is his peak condition. If he takes another step forward, he will transform into the true form of the Mountain Kirin. However, he won't be able to maintain that form for long. It's a powerful move that can decide the outcome of a battle, and he can't use it casually.

"That knife of yours...is it Yan Ziming's?" Luther asked uncertainly, eager to know the truth.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? Anyway, this knife is in my hands now, and you can't get it."

Luther smiled confidently: "Heh... Of course you can't get it if it's in your hands, but it's a different story if it's in hers. Can you keep it for her forever?"

"Who knows? Maybe she's strong enough to not be afraid of these things, as long as some shameless guys don't bully the weak, otherwise..."

Yan Shan subtly warned certain people not to be arrogant and bully the younger generation, otherwise the price they would pay would be a hundred times heavier!

Clearly, he was targeting certain ninth-tier individuals. While eighth-tier individuals could pose a threat to Yan Ziming, they would be safe as long as she remained within China's military administrative region.

When Luther heard these words, he nodded in agreement. If those at the ninth rank were to carry out assassinations, anyone below the ninth rank would almost certainly die, with few exceptions.

If rising stars were all assassinated, no country could withstand it. All parties followed the rules and refrained from resorting to underhanded tactics.

They had carried out several assassination attempts against Mu Mu in the past, but the highest level they could deploy was only eighth-rank. They wouldn't send anyone of a higher rank, as that would be going too far and would cause a major upheaval!

However... considering Yan Shan's inexplicable confidence in Yan Zimo, Luther had some guesses.

They both believe in Yan... and there are very few surnames in China, so could they be related?

If so, that would be a major piece of news!

"Yan Ziming...could she be your daughter?"

Luther asked tentatively, not out of gossip, but because the relationship between Yan Ziming and Yan Shan might affect the United States' subsequent actions, and they wouldn't be able to do that thing so openly anymore.

"She is my niece."

Yan Shan said calmly. Originally, he didn't want to say it, but Luther clearly coveted her knife, which would put her in a very bad situation. She had to give him some necessary deterrence.

Sure enough, Luther's expression changed repeatedly after learning about this, and he had to suppress many of his dirty plans.

He also has children, and he loves and protects them very much. He is extremely protective of his own. If he personally takes action against Yan Ziming, he is afraid that Yan Shan will also take action to make him childless!

"Alright...alright! You won this time, let's go!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Luther reluctantly called out to Hyde and the others who were confronting Qin Tianhai, and prepared to retreat.

Regardless, they've already suffered a double loss. Mu Mu has returned to China with what appears to be a sea serpent crystal core. Do they really think they can just enter Chinese territory to steal it? That would be suicidal!

"You think you can fight whenever you want and leave whenever you don't? Let me beat you up first!"

The battle was about to end, but Yan Shan was still unhappy. In an instant, he appeared in front of Luther and slashed down with his Thunder Cutter.

"you--!!"

Luther's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively raised his cane to fight against Raiche. Another violent explosion occurred, and Luther was sent flying over a hundred meters away. A cut mark appeared on his cane!

"What do you mean, 'you'? You think we're people you can offend at will? Are you still living in the past and can't wake up?!"

Yan Shan continued to charge forward wielding the Thunder Cutter, unleashing his full power, and Luther began to be suppressed.

His greatest reliance was marked by the Thunder Cutter, so he would not use it unless there was no way to avoid it. Even a small damage would cause him great pain. In terms of cultivation, he was behind Yan Shan and was suppressed to the point of being unable to fight back.

"Don't go too far! Do you want a fight to the death?" Luther roared. Yan Shan was really showing no respect, still thinking of relentlessly pursuing him!

"So be it, a life-or-death battle! I've been a marshal for so many years, and every day has been a life-or-death battle!"

Remembering Yan Ziming's instructions, Yan Shan naturally wouldn't let Luther leave so easily. He wouldn't let him go until he completely destroyed Luther's cane!

Moreover, they were the ones who started the trouble first, and we are in the right. It would be too unfair to just let them go. We need to let them know the consequences of angering China!

Do you still want to threaten me with a life-or-death battle?

Just kidding, his superpowered mountain unicorn has the longest lifespan. In a life-or-death battle, it will definitely be Luther who dies, not him!
