Pre-death assessment

Ling Wu and the others followed Xiao Bai and soon found the bat vampire she was looking for.

This vampire isn't like the ones in movies and TV shows who wear suits, live in magnificent castles, and are noble and elegant.

This vampire is simply a giant bat.

At this moment, his entire body was hanging upside down under a skybridge, his black wings folded, and he was sleeping.

It has an ugly bat-like face, its body is covered with various fleshy growths, and its limbs are covered with sharp barbs.

The first impression it gives is that it is ugly and bloodthirsty.

This was not a particularly powerful lord; among all the lords in this fourth level of pre-death assessment space, he wouldn't even rank highly.

However, Xiaobai wanted his ability to fly, so he came to him.

After Ling Wu gave her three rules, she immediately approached the bat.

Then, the black domain completely enveloped the bat-vampire.

The bat vampire seemed to sense something was wrong, so it slowly opened its eyes.

But he only glanced at the darkness around him before closing his eyes again.

Because in the eyes of all the lords at present, all lords are the same kind and pose no threat.

hum!

But the next moment, three red hearts appeared above his head.

He immediately opened his eyes and then fell from the sky bridge to the ground.

"What do you mean by this? Are you going to attack me?"

His ugly, bat-like eyes swept across the surrounding darkness.

The three red hearts appearing above his head meant that he had been targeted.

But he really didn't expect that, as one of their own kind, the other would turn against him.

It was pitch black all around, there was nothing there, and there was no response from Xiaobai.

"Annoying guy."

The bat-vampire cursed, then suddenly spread its wings and flew into the sky.

He knew, of course, that he couldn't afford to offend the female ghost of this strange legend.

So, if you can't afford to offend them, the only option is to avoid them.

However, just as he took off, one of the red hearts above his head suddenly shattered.

He immediately landed on the ground, his ugly bat-like face hardening with a serious expression: "Are you serious? We're both lords, what exactly do you want?"

He wouldn't dare say he completely understands Xiaobai, but at least he knows what will happen in Xiaobai's domain.

Three rules, if broken, will result in -1 health point!

You have three chances in total.

Right now, I've only just taken off and I'm already down 1 point, so it's clear that the first rule is: no flying.

"Come out here. Let's talk about what you want face to face."

The bat-vampire shouted from the side, "I don't think I've done anything to offend you, have I?"

Damn it, I was sleeping peacefully here, why did that female ghost suddenly attack me?

In this fourth level of the pre-death assessment space, all the lords generally kept to themselves and didn't interfere with each other.

How could something like this suddenly happen?

Xiao Bai remained silent, hiding in the shadows with Ling Wu and the others.

The bat vampire was immediately annoyed and used sound waves to locate Little White.

However, just as he emitted that ultrasonic wave, another red heart above his head suddenly shattered.

He immediately stopped.

At that moment, he completely panicked.

The second rule: Is it prohibiting the emission of ultrasonic waves?

Damn it, that female ghost is obviously after me.

What should we do now?

What is the third rule?

If you touch it, you're dead!

There's only one chance left!

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The bat-vampire then frantically shouted, "We have no grudge against each other, why are you doing this to me?"

There has still been no response.

"Grandma, I'm begging you, please don't mess with me."

"Just tell me what you want, and if I can give it to you, I will."

Please!

However, there was still no response.

"asshole……"

The bat-vampire clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

However, the moment he uttered the word "bastard," the third red heart above his head shattered with a snap.

His pupils suddenly trembled.

So the last rule is... no swearing?

"Fuck me? I fuck my ancestors for eighteen generations, fuck me..."

He finally let out a hoarse, furious roar.

Then, his heart suddenly shattered inside his body.

The next moment, he bled from all seven orifices and collapsed on the spot.

Dying was simple and easy.

No one had to lift a finger; all Xiaobai needed to do was secretly set the rules, and he would die on his own…

Only after his death did Xiaobai and Ling Wu emerge from the shadows.

Next, Xiaobai unlocked the domain's restrictions.

"That's absolutely insane!"

Li Ming and the others were all somewhat astonished.

The ability to set the rules for oneself within this domain is simply too incredible.

You can create your own rules, and you can also leave the other party guessing and trying them out without telling them the rules.

If the opponent is only one person, a solo kill is practically guaranteed!

"My expertise in this area is also limited."

Xiao Bai slowly said, "Rules can't be customized however you want, and... for those who are too powerful, the restrictions of rules are useless."

For example, if the management of the pre-death assessment space enters her domain, they will not be bound by her domain in any way.

Or, among the challengers, those who are more powerful in the five realms are also not bound by her rules.

"It's impossible to discuss rules without considering the level of understanding involved."

Ling Wu said with a smile.

If her ability to apply rules is not limited by realm.

It can be said that as long as she is smart enough, even the ultimate BOSS of the pre-death assessment space would not be her match.

That's simply unsolvable!

"What's next...?"

Xiao Bai looked at Ling Wu. Now that the lord had been killed, how could he obtain the lord's abilities?

Ling Wu smiled and stepped forward, cracking open the bat vampire's head and taking out the crystal.

Then he slowly said, "Just devour him. Use your domain power to devour him."

Xiao Bai nodded and then stepped forward.

Then, black mist surged out from his body, completely enveloping the vampire bat.

Then, the entire shrouded corpse gradually merged into her black aura and into her body.

After the corpse was completely devoured, her eyes suddenly lit up slightly.

Then, with a thought, a pair of wings appeared out of thin air behind her.

From now on, she can fly in the sky.

Moreover, she now possessed other vampire powers.

This includes ultrasound positioning, and the ability to become stronger and heal oneself by absorbing human blood.

"You see, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Heavenly Stems don't concern themselves with this kind of thing."

Ling Wu smiled faintly.

"You know more about the pre-death assessment space than we do."

Little White folded its wings and looked at Ling Wu: "I'm really curious about who you are."

They had no idea that lords could devour each other; how could this newcomer know these hidden rules?

He's definitely not simple!

"Anyway, we're not enemies now."

Ling Wu smiled and said, "Of course, you'd better not be our enemy, and it's best to stay friends."

"You can rest assured about that. Since cooperation brings such great benefits, I'm naturally happy to continue cooperating with you!"

Xiao Bai said calmly.

Killing a lord is much more interesting and rewarding than killing a person.

Therefore, she was indeed very willing to cooperate with Ling Wu in the long term.

"If the power of all the lords in the fourth level of the pre-death assessment space could be concentrated on me, how strong would I be then?"

Xiao Bai then speculated wildly, "Could it be... stronger than the management of the pre-death assessment space?"

"Your idea is bold, and of course... it's also correct!"

Ling Wu smiled faintly.

That's exactly what he wanted—for Xiaobai to have such ambition.

Because he needs to use Xiaobai to deal with Lao Gui!

"Since that's the case, then... let's go all the way!"

Xiao Bai smiled and looked at Ling Wu, saying, "I want the power of the fourth level of the pre-death assessment space... the power of the strongest lord."

"Oh? The strongest lord?"

All eyes were on her.

She's not the strongest here, but she's already abnormally powerful.

So... how strong is the strongest lord?

"Yes, the strongest lord!"

Little White continued, "He is the judge of hell!"

"His power is judgment."

"He can judge anyone who is guilty within his jurisdiction."

"His strength is so great that even the strongest top hunters in this fourth level would not dare to provoke him."

"In my opinion, his strength at this fourth level is probably second only to Lao Gui!"

She had, of course, witnessed the power of that strongest lord.

A lord who lives a solitary life.

Like the judges of hell.

Once someone enters his domain, he can see clearly all the sins they have committed.

He could see it even if that person had killed a dog on the street in the real world.

Yet this extremely powerful lord inexplicably referred to himself as a "sinner".

It was as if he himself knew what sins he had committed.

Unfortunately, he is the only one who can judge others, but others cannot judge him!

"Alright, let's go see this so-called judge." Ling Wu smiled faintly.

"My domain abilities are currently useless against him."

Xiao Bai then said, "So I think before we go find him, we should devour some other lords first."

It is best to be fully prepared before going to find that sinner.

Otherwise, they're just courting death!

"Okay, we've only got three crystals so far, we need more." Ling Wu nodded.

"Then let's go, I'll take you... to kill more lords!"

Little White is full of energy now, and immediately turns around and floats forward.

Ling Wu and the others followed.

As Ling Wu followed Xiao Bai forward, he glanced back at the footprints they had left behind along the way…
