Chat group: The ruthless guy was blown up after kidnapping Ye Hei at the start.

"Don't go, don't go, I beg you, don't go..." Ye Xiu shouted.

"Hmph, don't waste your energy. Qi Lin isn't coming back, so you might as well just stay put!..."

A sudden, cold laugh rang out, followed by a powerful aura that swept over Ye Xiu, making it hard for him to breathe.

Ye Xiu's face turned pale instantly, because that was definitely not Qi Lin's power, but the power of the night.

Darkness descended, and Ye Xiu wanted to escape, but he had no chance, for the night had already enveloped him.

"Snap!... Thud!"

Ye Xiu was thrown to the ground. He struggled desperately, but he couldn't get up. It was as if the entire mountain had collapsed.

Ye Xiu was immobilized and unable to move an inch.

"Boy? I'll give you two choices now. First, hand over the divine core within you, and I may forgive your sins. Second, I will tear you to pieces and then seal you away, so that you may never be reincarnated!"

The sound of the night was still hoarse and eerie, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.

"hehe!..."

Ye Xiu smiled; he knew how his fate would be decided.

"Shh!"

He raised his hand, and a colorful glow bloomed, like a bright moon.

In the bright moonlight, Ye Xiu was the only one, and at this moment, the darkness was filled with fear, because Ye Xiu's aura was simply too powerful.

This kind of power is something that someone like him, a half-step God King, could never match.

Moreover, he sensed the smell of death, became frightened, and turned to run.

But he had no chance. In this world, no one could escape from Ye Xiu's grasp.

The five-colored divine light instantly engulfed the night, then turned into starlight and vanished into ashes.

Ye Xiu slumped into the chair, so weak that he could barely breathe.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have defeated a demigod-level boss. Reward: 100 points..."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill [Sword Control Technique]..."

"Ding-dong!..."

...............

The system notifications kept coming, but Ye Xiu ignored them. His body was burning like a fireball, and he needed to recover his energy as soon as possible.

"Swish! Swish!..."

Four figures flashed into the room: Li Hanyi, Yan, Nv, Ruthless Empress, An Lan, Nv, and Morgana.

"Huh? Mr. Ye? What's wrong?"

Seeing Ye Xiu's extremely dangerous condition, Li Hanyi rushed towards him.

"Get out of here!..."

Ye Xiu roared, and Li Hanyi was immediately sent flying, crashing into the wall and coughing up blood.

"Master! Master? What's wrong? Don't scare your disciple! Waaah!..."

An Lan rushed to Ye Xiu's side, but Ye Xiu remained unmoved because he discovered that he could not control himself.

It was a strange feeling, as if something was manipulating him, making him do something.

This manipulation doesn't seem like something a single person could control; rather, it's more like the power of a contract.

"Boom!..."

Just as Ye Xiu was wondering, a loud bang suddenly exploded in the sky outside the window—it was a dazzling shooting star.

"Boom! Boom!..."

The meteors became increasingly dense, each one shaking the entire sky.

"What on earth happened?" A very ominous premonition suddenly welled up in Ye Xiu's heart.

But before Ye Xiu could ponder it carefully, the dazzling meteor had already fallen.

"what!..."
