Pre-death assessment

"Let's go in first and wait."

Lei Yun then led Karina into the interior of Xuanwu City.

Then, they arrived at the location where Jiang Luo and the others were.

At this moment, Jiang Luo and the others had all gathered together.

Upon seeing Lei Yun arrive, they immediately asked, "Where's the captain?"

"Now it's probably the second kind of thing that's happened."

Lei Yun smiled and said, "Since he didn't ask us for support, he probably doesn't need it, so... don't worry."

Everyone immediately understood.

Just like in the second level, Ling Wu has also lured out the hidden BOSS of the third level.

Since he doesn't need help right now, they can just wait inside Xuanwu City.

……

Above the fiery red sky, another massive shockwave erupted, and Ling Wu and the Beast King were simultaneously pushed back a distance.

Just as the Beast King regained its footing, a flock of golden crows summoned by Liu Ruyan swarmed over and landed on it.

The golden crow exploded instantly, and terrifying high temperatures spread out.

But the Beast King is now in its full purple-gold-red form, and even Liu Ruyan's strongest fire attack only left a few marks on it.

Just like when Lei Zhenyu dealt with the giant infant in the second stage, Lei Zhenyu's fifth-level lightning did not cause much damage to the giant infant.

Therefore, her five-realm flames naturally failed to cause any harm to the giant baby.

Do you still believe me?

At this moment, Ling Wu called out to Liu Ruyan.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Ruyan frowned slightly.

"In the second stage, Lei Zhenyu unleashed all his power and fought desperately to inflict fatal damage on the giant infant."

Ling Wu slowly said, "So... if you want to take down this guy in front of you, you'll also need to... give it your all!"

"You want me to die here?" Liu Ruyan frowned even more deeply.

"Of course not."

Ling Wu smiled and continued, "If you trust me, don't hold back. Use your strongest attack. You might be temporarily unable to fight afterward, but I will save you."

"I will take you back. Lei Yun has life-type superpowers and can heal your wounds."

Fighting this beast king back and forth, it was difficult to determine a winner.

This is the only way to end the battle quickly.

Liu Ruyan exerted all her strength, while he finished off the rest.

He will kill the Beast King and rescue Liu Ruyan at the same time.

Liu Ruyan looked at Ling Wu with her fiery red eyes.

Then he took a deep breath: "If you lie to me again, no matter what your reason is, I will never forgive you."

"Don't worry, as long as you trust me!" Ling Wu smiled.

"Okay, then I'll believe you... you're not going to sacrifice me here."

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and then fixed her gaze on the beast king.

Then, the phoenix wings on its back suddenly trembled.

Wow!

Flames erupted, engulfing the entire world.

Liu Ruyan's entire figure transformed into a gigantic fire phoenix, hundreds of meters tall.

The fire phoenix gently flapped its wings, and with each flap, a wave of scorching heat spread throughout the world.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan unleashed the terrifyingly high temperature of the Five Realms Fire Element.

This move will completely incapacitate her, and she may even fall into a coma.

At that time... my life will be in Ling Wu's hands.

"Let's do it!"

Ling Wu gave the order.

Without saying a word, Liu Ruyan unleashed a roar from her enormous fire phoenix, which then charged toward the Beast King with all its fiery power.

On the other side, the Beast King seemed to have also realized the terrifying power of Liu Ruyan's move.

This move won't kill it, but it will definitely hurt it.

Once seriously injured, Ling Wu will naturally finish them off!

"You'll never get the fruit!"

The Beast King immediately snorted coldly and charged straight at Liu Ruyan.

Then, it directly activated the fruit formed from the clone seed within its body and chose to... self-destruct!

Because it knew very well that once it fell, Ling Wu would take the fruit.

So, let's just go for it and fight to the death.

Even if it means death, even if it means self-destruction, we must not let Ling Wu get away with it.

Seeing the beast king hurtling towards her head, Liu Ruyan had no idea what was going on and only wanted to collide with it and see who was stronger.

Little did she know that if the Beast King self-destructed, she would surely die!

Swish!

And it was at this moment, just as Liu Ruyan was about to touch the Beast King.

Ling Wu swept over at an extremely fast speed, sandwiching them between them.

"Die!"

The Beast King roared, and the power of the fruit within him erupted completely at that moment.

In that instant, Ling Wu suddenly turned around and sent Liu Ruyan flying with a powerful punch.

Liu Ruyan's enormous phoenix body was blasted a distance in mid-air.

"Ling Wu..."

She managed to steady herself and looked over.

But all they saw was a dark red aura of death spreading wildly from the Beast King's body.

Finally, Ling Wu and the Beast King were completely submerged within it.

First, a burst of dark red light suddenly erupted, followed by... a world-destroying shockwave that swept across the heavens and earth.

boom!!!

With a deafening roar, the dark red shockwave exploded between heaven and earth like a blazing sun, forming a massive dark red sphere of light several kilometers in diameter.

Inside the sphere of light, everything was annihilated!

Liu Ruyan was also blasted away a distance by this terrifying shockwave.

After regaining her balance, her eyes immediately turned to him: "Bastard, Ling Wu!"

This guy actually stepped forward at such a crucial moment?

Can the Beast King withstand the self-destruction?

Please, please don't die!

If he dies, it will be as if he died for himself.

At this moment, not only Liu Ruyan, but also the four city lords of the four cities were all looking at the huge, dark red shockwave.

They all shook their heads immediately: "He got away with it again."

Ling Wu was certainly unable to withstand the power of the fruit's self-destruction.

But there is one problem: the seal on Ling Wu's body.

This self-destruction could kill Ling Wu while also breaking one of the seals on Ling Wu's body.

Therefore, Ling Wu naturally won a great victory!

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Ruyan and the four city lords, the earth-shattering dark red shockwave continued for a very long time.

It took a long time for things to gradually calm down.

Liu Ruyan frowned deeply, staring at the center of the explosion.

As the shockwave dissipated, Ling Wu was revealed inside.

The massive, dark red shockwave left a huge, empty crater on the steel-clad earth.

Ling Wu was currently above the sinkhole.

His clothes were torn to shreds, and his muscles were almost completely pulverized.

From a distance, it looked like nothing more than a skeleton stripped of all its flesh and blood, dripping with blood.

As for the Beast King, of course, it no longer exists at all.

"Ling Wu! You bastard!"

Liu Ruyan let out a loud shout and quickly flew up.

That bastard actually died for me?

He is Ling Wu, everyone's captain.

What right does he have to die for himself?

Even if I die, he shouldn't die!

Because he is far more important than himself.

Liu Ruyan, of course, could not accept this outcome…

Just then, as Liu Ruyan was shooting towards Ling Wu...

At this moment, Ling Wu, whose flesh was already mangled and bloody, suddenly had six ancient nails appear on his chest with a hum.

Ancient nails connected to array patterns, permeating his entire body.

"What...is that?" Liu Ruyan frowned.

The next moment... Boom!

Suddenly, with a loud bang, one of the six ancient nails that pierced Ling Wu's chest shattered completely.

The power of the seal has been reduced by another layer.

And then that ancient nail disappeared.

Suddenly... Boom!!!

Another deafening roar erupted, and a dark red shockwave shot skyward from Ling Wu's center.

That terrifying dark red aura was even more terrifying than the one that erupted when the Beast King self-destructed.

Because Ling Wu now has two seals on his body that have been broken.

The power under the double seal is naturally stronger than the giant infant of the second seal, and also stronger than the beast king of the third seal.

Liu Ruyan stopped abruptly, completely unaware of what was happening.

Under her gaze, after a long time, the dark red beam of light gradually receded.

Then, Ling Wu was revealed again.

At this moment, Ling Wu's body, which was originally covered in blood and gore, has been completely repaired.

He was completely unharmed.

However, her clothes were torn and she looked rather revealing…

He raised his hand slightly and slowly clenched his fist.

Then, his dark red eyes looked at Liu Ruyan and he smiled gently.

Liu Ruyan darted away in a flash: "You... what happened? You're still alive? What was that thing on you just now?"

That looks like some kind of strange seal?

There's a seal on Ling Wu's body?

So where did this seal come from?

If there were no seal, what kind of existence would Ling Wu be?

Ling Wu simply smiled without offering further explanation, and the remaining five ancient nails and sealing patterns on his body disappeared.

Thanks.

He smiled faintly at Liu Ruyan and said, "We cooperated very well."

When he ordered Liu Ruyan to unleash her full power, he knew, of course, that the Beast King would self-destruct.

"Cooperate with what?" Liu Ruyan was speechless.

You've arranged everything; I do whatever you tell me to do.

There's no cooperation between us, only... your command!

"Let's go back first!"

Ling Wu then waved his hand: "Hopefully, Luo Luo hasn't noticed anything wrong yet."

……

Meanwhile, in the direction of Xuanwu City.

Just as the second seal within Ling Wu's body was broken, Jiang Luo suddenly felt dizzy.

Then, he fainted on the spot.

"Luo Luo, Luo Luo, what's wrong?"

Li Qingxue quickly helped her up and then helped her lie down slowly.

What happened?

Why did she suddenly faint? Was it low blood sugar?

Dr. Lu rushed over to check, only to find that Jiang Luo had no problems at all.

"Could it be that you were injured just now?" Lei Yun also ran over.

If she is injured, she can treat Jiang Luo.

However, Jiang Luo showed no signs of anything amiss at this moment.

Rather than being in a coma, it would be more accurate to say she suddenly fell asleep.

The kind of person you can't wake up no matter what you do!

But no one knew that at this moment, she... had once again fallen into a bizarre dream...
