His consciousness began to blur the moment he left the ground; the scene before him became fragmented, and the sounds grew increasingly distant.

He was wrong.

It turns out that such people really exist in this world—they are an insurmountable barrier simply by standing there, making all the methods he has accumulated over thousands of years seem absurd and laughable.

In the last second before his consciousness completely plunged into darkness, only one thought surfaced in Xu Wenwu's mind:

I got up and killed him with one punch.

What's there to say?

boom!

Finally, his body slammed into the wall in the distance, creating a huge crater tens of meters wide.

Stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust billowed up.

By the time the dust settled, Xu Wenwu had already lost all signs of life.

Peter walked over.

He crouched down and removed the bullseye rings one by one from Xu Wenwu's arm.

After these metal rings left their host, the blue light gradually dimmed, but they still emitted a faint humming sound.

It felt neither too light nor too heavy in my hand, and it was warm, as if it still retained the body temperature of the deceased.

The system notification sounded in Peter's ear precisely on time:

[A purple item that can be sacrificed: Ten Rings]

[Ten Rings: A mysterious weapon of unknown origin, consisting of ten rings. The wearer gains extraordinary strength, speed, and durability, while also halting the aging process and even slightly reversing aging, theoretically enabling immortality.]

[Sacrifice will earn you 10000 points. Want to sacrifice?]

10,000 points.

Say no more, say less.

Peter thought for a moment and then chose no.

Three reasons.

First, the ten rings are the key to opening the Dark Gate of Tarot Village. Behind that door lies the Soul-Devouring Beast, and he needs to go in to collect gene samples.

Without the bullseye, that door might not be able to be opened.

Secondly, he doesn't lack sacrifice points right now.

In the two previous battles with Laufey and the Heirs, each of them contributed a substantial amount of sacrifice points to him.

His account balance is currently over 150,000, so an increase of 10,000 points is insignificant to him.

Third, and most importantly—

He was drawn to the "eternal youth" function of the Ten Rings.

Uncle Ben is already sixty years old this year.

Although Meryl Streep is well-preserved, she is already 55 years old.

The power of the ten rings can help Uncle Ben and Aunt May live longer...

That alone was enough for him to keep the ten rings.

Besides that, he had an even bolder idea in mind.

The dog charm's effect is to restore one's body to its peak condition.

The ten-ring can stop the aging process and even slightly reverse aging.

If you combine the two...

First, use the Dog Talisman to bring a person's body back to its peak, then use the Ten Rings to lock this state and rejuvenate them.

Could we exploit a bug to reverse the electricity meter, allowing someone to maintain a youthful state even after losing the Ten Rings and the Dog Talisman?

Chapter 268 The Scenery is Infinitely Beautiful

Although I really want to test whether my idea can be realized right away.

Unfortunately, Peter doesn't have the dog charm right now.

Therefore, he could only keep this idea to himself for the time being.

Since things have come to this, let's eat first... oh, no, let's get down to business first!

He casually slipped the rings onto his hand.

Peter walked up to Daisy, a hazy white light emanating from his hand, emanating from a horse charm.

While rapidly healing Daisy's wounds, he also pinched Daisy's cheeks quite roughly.

"Not bad at all~ You've really impressed me."

Seeing Peter's expression, Daisy lowered her head shyly and murmured, "..."

"Actually, it's mainly because of your excellent teaching, Brother Peter. If you hadn't reminded me, I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure out these techniques."

After healing Daisy's injuries, Peter looked at the Ten Rings members scattering and fleeing around him, and unconsciously shook his head.

Those who managed to infiltrate the Ten Commandments Gang's headquarters are definitely not clean.

Releasing such a group of people would only bring harm to the world.

With that thought in mind, Peter let out a cold snort, and his Conqueror's Haki instantly swept across the entire area.

The moment the Conqueror's Haki was released, the Ten Commandments members who were fleeing for their lives like headless flies were strangely frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed. They then knelt down one by one, their eyes rolled back, and white foam came out of their mouths.

Seeing this, Peter nodded in satisfaction, and then, with Daisy looking at him with admiration, he entered Xu Wenwu's castle.

After searching with his White Eyes, Peter quickly found Shang Qi and Xia Ling.

These two future superheroes were only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time.

Although they watched as their father was killed by Peter, there was no hatred in their eyes.

Having been raised by Yingli since childhood, they still have very positive values.

In the original story, Shang-Chi ran away from home at the age of 14 to work as a waitress in New York because he didn't want to kill anyone, in order to escape his family of origin.

In addition, these two children are quite good-looking; they are not at all like the ugly ABCs in movies.

Seeing Shangqi holding a knife and protecting his sister behind him, Peter thought for a moment and then squatted down.

As soon as he reached out, Shang-Chi stabbed him with the knife in his hand.

Ding~!

The knife pierced Peter's shoulder, but didn't even break the skin. Instead, the blade snapped off in mid-air, nearly piercing Shang-Chi's face.

Peter wasn't annoyed by this; he simply reached out and gently stroked their heads as planned, and said:

You should know who I am, right?

Shang Qi kept his lips tightly pressed together and didn't speak, but Xu Xialing behind him couldn't help but speak up:

“You…you are the Arbiter, Amelika’s superhero.”

"That's right~"

As Peter spoke, he removed his mask and gave Xu Xialing a very friendly smile:

“You’ve all grown up so much, and there’s no hatred in your eyes when you look at me. You should know what kind of work your father does.”

People like him were bound to end up like this sooner or later. Even if I don't kill him, he'll die at the hands of other enemies in the future, and then you'll be the ones who suffer, losing your lives along with him.

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister exchanged a glance, and then Shang-Chi spoke with a skeptical tone:

"Aren't you going to kill us all to eliminate any future threats?"

"Is this really necessary?" Peter shrugged, speaking with a relaxed expression.

"You can tell from that slash you just made that you never intended to kill me, can't you?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Qi fell silent for a moment, then dropped the broken sword in his hand.

"Are you willing to let me and my sister go?"

"Not only that, I can also arrange for the Parker Charitable Foundation to take you in. You can go to America and live a normal life. Of course, if you want to become agents or superheroes, that's up to you."

I can provide you with a pathway, but ultimately, whether you succeed depends on your own abilities.

At this point, Peter reached out and removed two oval-shaped gems from their necks, then turned to Daisy and said:

"Contact Hill and ask him to send someone to pick up the two children and take them to Amelika."

After saying this, Peter turned and went straight to Xu Wenwu's study.

Just like in the original movie, a huge dragon relief is carved on the wall of the study.

Peter stepped forward and pressed the two longan pendants he had just acquired onto the dragon's eye.

With a dizzying sensation, a holographic projection appeared from inside the wall—it showed the exact location of Tarot Village.

"The primeval forests along the China-Vietnam border, huh?" Peter nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Daisy and said:

"Daisy, let's go. We should head to the next stop. As for you guys..."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Shang Qi and Xia Ling:

"Stay here for another night. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents will pick you up and take you to America tomorrow!"

……

After casually casting two energy shields on Shang Qi and Xia Ling, Peter simply used a spiral shuriken to directly destroy the ancient castle, which had been around for over a hundred years, along with the unconscious Ten Rings scum, making them all a thing of the past.

After leaving the Ten Rings' stronghold, Peter did not continue using the flying skateboard to travel.

Perhaps it was Daisy, Shang-Chi, and Xia Ling's Eastern features that made him unable to help but recall his life in his previous life.

Therefore, this time, he chose to get a top-of-the-line luxury RV locally and took Daisy on a road trip.

Daisy, sitting in the passenger seat, didn't refuse. Instead, her pretty face flushed, and a thought unconsciously popped into her mind:

"Isn't this the legendary honeymoon? Brother Peter... he's clearly hinting at something to me!"
