My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Deep within the starry sky, spatial turbulence is like a knife.

The raging void storm ruthlessly sliced ​​through everything.

The crimson array's light twisted wildly in the darkness, like an ancient beast opening its maw to completely engulf Li Chen and Si Zi's figures.

weightlessness.

An indescribable feeling of dizziness swept over me like a tsunami.

The space channels for random teleportation are always chaotic and disorderly, but fortunately Li Chen was prepared.

Amidst the howling wind, he steadily held the rhinoceros in one arm.

A powerful surge of true essence from the Nascent Soul stage emanated from his body.

The purplish-gold light transformed into an indestructible spherical shield, firmly protecting the two people in the center of the storm and isolating them from the terrifying tearing force outside, which was powerful enough to rip through steel.

I don't know how long I drifted along in the darkness.

The shrill sound that tore through the void suddenly stopped.

The invisible spatial barrier beneath their feet suddenly shattered.

Immediately afterwards, a sense of the weight and vicissitudes of the earth washed over me.

"arrive."

Li Chen's heart stirred slightly.

He was just about to gather his energy, lighten his body, and adjust his posture to land smoothly.

But the little girl in his arms was even more excited than him, wriggling her little body and trying to squeeze out.

"Wow! We're flying!"

The rhinoceros let out a cheer.

The sound of the wind in her ears was incredibly exciting for her; the little girl thought she was playing some kind of novel slide game.

Before Li Chenteng could even reach out and grab her collar...

She slid out with a whoosh, propelled by the powerful force of the fall.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang.

Amidst a cloud of choking dust, the ox landed steadily on the ground like a small cannonball.

It didn't have the hard, cold feel I expected.

On the contrary... it's soft and fluffy.

Even after being pressed down, it still retains a surprising elasticity.

The surrounding light was very dim.

The air was filled with the smell of moldy wood that had never seen the light of day.

Sizi tried her best to steady her swaying little body.

She lowered her head in confusion and rubbed it with her little feet.

It feels so comfortable to step on.

Could this be a shock-absorbing gadget that Brother Sixteen specially prepared for me at the finish line so that I wouldn't fall?

Or is this some kind of bouncy futon that Brother Li Tai has been tinkering with lately?

The little girl was naturally lively, and at this moment she was even more playful.

Instead of moving away, she curiously stepped down harder.

Then, he kicked off with both legs.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

She happily bounced around on the "cushion" twice.

"Sixteenth Brother!"

Sizi waved her chubby little hands in the darkness and exclaimed in a childish voice.

"This new gadget is so much fun! It's so soft and bouncy when you step on it!"

The child's voice echoed in the air.

The voice just fell.

Inside the quiet, abandoned house, a strange change suddenly occurs.

Suddenly, a chilling, teeth-grinding sound of bones grinding together rang out.

Followed by.

From beneath Sizi's exquisite deerskin boots came a muffled groan, sharp and painful, as if she had been mercilessly run over by a galloping carriage.

"Ugh—"

"My back... my old back is broken..."

The voice was extremely hoarse.

Trembling violently, as if enduring torture, his words conveyed endless frustration.

In this dim and claustrophobic space, it appeared exceptionally clear, even somewhat eerie.

"oops!"

Sizi was startled.

The little girl's hair stood on end instantly, and her little brain finally realized what was happening.

What he was standing on was not some kind of magical mat at all.

It was a living, breathing person!

She looked like a frightened little rabbit.

With a "whoosh," he jumped off the dark figure and took several steps back.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Sizi quickly put her hands behind her back, obediently bent over, and repeatedly bowed to the dark figure on the ground to apologize.

"I didn't know someone was sleeping here. Did I step on you and hurt you? I'm so sorry."

"I really didn't mean to! I thought it was a cushion that Sixteenth Brother had laid out for me beforehand!"

Just then.

In the darkness, Li Chen, like a weightless leaf, finally floated lightly to the ground.

Hearing the little girl's aggrieved apology, he sighed helplessly.

Then, he casually snapped his fingers, sending out a cluster of faint purple-gold flames.

The flickering firelight dispelled the surrounding shadows and instantly illuminated the scene.

This is a dilapidated and abandoned house.

Several large holes were broken in the tall roof, letting in the hazy sunlight from outside.

The corners were covered with layers of spider webs, and the ground was covered with thick dust and broken pieces of blue tiles.

And right in the center where Sizi had just landed.

A burly man dressed in gray linen clothes was curled up in pain, looking just like a boiled shrimp that had just been pulled out of boiling water.

Two small, cute muddy footprints were clearly imprinted on the back of his shirt.

impartial.

The vulnerable lumbar vertebrae are located in the center.

The man clutched his lower back tightly with both hands, his whole body trembling from the excruciating pain.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and large beads of cold sweat dripped down his face, creating small puddles in the dust on the ground.

He struggled to lift his head.

His already rugged face, now covered in dust, was contorted with pain.

A pair of bloodshot, bright red eyes stared intently at Sizi, whose face was full of apology.

Then, the gaze slowly shifted to Li Chen, who was standing not far away with his hands behind his back.

"Apologize...?"

The man clenched his teeth so tightly that a trace of blood even seeped from the corner of his mouth due to the force he used.

He squeezed out two words, one by one, through gritted teeth.

He supported himself on the ground with one trembling hand, desperately trying to stand up.

"Click."

Another crisp, dangerous crack came from his waist. The man's cheek twitched violently in pain, and his body went limp, almost collapsing back down.

But the venomous glint in his eyes grew ever stronger, like a volcano about to erupt.

With his other hand, he silently reached for his waist, using his body as cover.

In the firelight, a faint, chilling metallic luster was reflected there.

He stared intently at the two figures, one large and one small, his throat churning as he let out a low, bloodthirsty growl, like that of a wounded beast.

"You broke my back, and you think you can just say sorry and call it quits?"

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly launched an attack.

He pulled out something hidden at his waist, which made a piercing clang.

It was a thick, broad, nine-ringed broadsword with dark red bloodstains still remaining on its blade.

Under the firelight.

The cold blade reflected the man's ferocious and terrifying smile.

At that very moment of heightened tension...

Behind him, deep within the seemingly empty abandoned house, suddenly came a chilling, dense, and chaotic sound of footsteps.

"Shhh..."

Like countless venomous snakes crawling on dry leaves.

In the deep, dark shadows.

Dozens of eyes, gleaming with greed, mockery, and ruthless cruelty, slowly lit up like a pack of wolves in the wilderness.
