"Well... then please wait for a while in Sky City, Jizi." Theresa hesitated for a while and then agreed with Jizi's statement.

Compared to Himeko who is now in a safe environment, Kiana's whereabouts are unknown, which worries her more.

Moreover, she didn't dare to be careless with the gray snake, whose attitude she didn't know, nor was it convenient for her to split up her forces, so it would be better to complete the transaction first and then go to pick up Ji Zi.

After agreeing on a meeting place with Jizi, Theresa hung up the phone.

Unlike the excited Theresa, although Bronya was also very excited, she still maintained her usual cautious consideration.

"Could this be a conspiracy of Bishop Otto?" She thought about it and reminded him.

Theresa thought about it seriously, then shook her head. "Grandpa... no, Otto wouldn't try to deceive us like this. If he really wanted to arrest us, he could easily determine our location through the signal on this private phone. There's no need for such a trick."

Bronya thought about it and felt that this was the truth.

So, the few of them continued walking towards the meeting place agreed with Gray Snake.

……

"Have I been given the good guy card?" Li Wen said with a smile as he watched Ji Zi hang up the phone.

"What's wrong? Mr. Li Wen, I praise you so much as my savior, but you are still not satisfied?" Ji Zi glanced at him coquettishly, then approached Li Wen and said with a sweet voice.

Feeling the alluring aura revealed by Ji Zi, Li Wen took a step back and asked, "So, you are planning to leave?"

Ji Zi looked at Li Wen's actions with some amusement, then nodded, "Yeah."

"It looks like we have to part here for a while." Li Wen said with some regret.

"Mr. Li Wen is reluctant to leave me?" Ji Zi continued to ask.

Li Wen chuckled a few times, "Of course, who can be willing to give up a beauty like Miss Ji Zi?"

"Haha..." Ji Zi laughed softly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li Wen, I really like such compliments, but if you could look me in the eye, it would seem more sincere."

Li Wen heard this and smiled, "I'm just used to it."

After all, eyes can often reveal too much information.

Li Wen turned his head and looked around, then asked, "But, speaking of which..."

Suddenly, Li Wen felt two soft touches on his face, cold yet hot.

After a long time, when his lips left, he touched his attacked face and turned to look at Ji Zi who still had a bright smile on her face, "Is this your reward?"

Hearing this, Ji Zi pursed her lips and said, "After all, I am leaving soon. It is not my style to be ungrateful and not repay a favor.

"Goodbye."

After a final wave of goodbye, Ji Zi turned and left without any reluctance.

Looking at Ji Zi's graceful back as she left, Li Wen couldn't help but smile. This Miss Ji Zi was very free and easy.

But... I hope that when we meet again in the future, we won't fight each other, Miss Jizi.

Li Wen turned his gaze to the mobile phone in his hand.

Long before, he had guessed from Ji Zi's words and reactions that the other party's relationship with Tianming might not be good.

After all, Jizi said it herself that she "used to be" a member of Tianming.

In addition, although Ji Zi had decided to leave long before, both parties tacitly did not mention the "Disease Gem" and "True Crimson Armor" until she left.

Ji Zi didn't mention it because this set of equipment was found by her in the Helheim laboratory of Tianming, and it belonged to Tianming.

After all, she is no longer a member of Tianming.

Li Wen did not mention it because he felt that the "Disease Gem" was a very dangerous item and he would never let others keep such a dangerous item.

Looking back at the street again, Li Wen began to walk towards the outskirts of Tianqiong City.

Most of the necessary materials have been collected, and it is time for him to return to the ship and squeeze Black, the lazy cat.

……

Tianqiong City, outskirts.

Kiana is struggling to fight against the Honkai beast in front of her.

"How can there be so many Honkai beasts!" Combining dual guns with physical skills, Kiana continuously launched attacks on the group of monsters in front of her.

"I don't know either." Fu Hua, after using Yu Duchen's first rated power to bind her consciousness to Kiana's, replied in Kiana's mind, "It might be related to the sudden increase in Honkai energy concentration not long ago."

After finishing her speculation, Fu Hua began to persuade: "Kiana, you need to rest for a while. The concentration of Honkai energy has increased too much. If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"No, I have to defeat all these Honkai beasts." Kiana said gritting her teeth.

"But if you continue to stay here, in such an environment with high concentration of Honkai energy, the Herrscher of the Sky's consciousness may break through my seal." Fu Hua continued to persuade.

"Do you think you can trap me forever~☆" A faint voice suddenly sounded in Kiana's mind, "Indeed, this seal has caused me some trouble. But can it really stop me forever?

"As long as she's still fighting Honkai, I'll eventually break out of this cage. Unless you can keep her away from Honkai.

"But, can she really do it? She had her life saved by that woman, and she sees fighting the Honkai as atonement. Can she really live peacefully as an ordinary person?

"Are you right? My container~☆"

Chapter 9: Why does a beautiful girl fight and kill every day?

Kiana did not respond to the Herrscher of the Sky's words, but her actions proved everything.

This life that was saved by Teacher Jizi exists to atone for sins. She must destroy all these Honkai beasts before they threaten the safety of others.

But, what Fu Hua said was not without reason. She could not allow herself to awaken again as the Ruler of the Void, as who knows how many people would be harmed if she did so.

Therefore, she must seize the time, eliminate these Honkai beasts as soon as possible, and then stay away from this area.

"Captain, I will deal with them as quickly as possible and then leave."

After saying this to Fu Hua, Kiana continued her fight.

Fu Hua sighed, but didn't say anything more. She just continued to try to suppress the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Sky.

"Hmph, a futile struggle~☆"

The whispers of the Herrscher of the Void gradually became inaudible under Fu Hua's full suppression.

However, her resistance did not stop with her words. The Herrscher of the Sky's core, the Serenity Gem, and the Conquest Gem were under her control and took advantage of this opportunity to continue eroding Kiana's body.

It's so hard to come across such a high concentration of Honkai energy, and this opportunity cannot be missed.

Although Kiana tried hard to fight against these Honkai beasts, without the power of the Herrscher of the Void, she was just a B-rank Valkyrie. Even if she was talented, she could not quickly eliminate these powerful Honkai beasts.

Gradually, she became a little anxious.

The resistance of the Herrscher of the Void within her body meant that she could not stay in such an environment for too long, but her inability to deal with the Honkai beasts in front of her made her even more unwilling to accept it.

She was afraid that if she left like this, these Honkai beasts would take the lives of innocent people.

So, what is the meaning of her existence?

In this case, can she be worthy of Teacher Ji Zi?

She questioned herself in her heart.

However, the ruthless collapse did not take her feelings into consideration.

Suddenly, due to the influence of her senses, her movements slowed down.

This was not surprising. Under the erosion of the three cores in her body, her body had begun to gradually lose the sense of pain.

Due to the influence of the senses, slow reaction may occur occasionally.

Under normal circumstances, even in an ordinary battle, this level of damage would not have any impact on her.

However, due to the sudden increase in the concentration of Houkai energy in this area, the Herrscher of the Void was able to break free from some of her shackles, so the core's erosion of her speed accelerated.

Therefore, she encountered the biggest crisis so far while fighting against the group of Honkai beasts - the spear of a Temple-level Honkai beast was only a few inches away from her.

The next moment, her body would be completely pierced by the spear.

Looking at the spear so close to her, a trace of unwillingness and relief flashed in her eyes.

What she felt unwilling about was that she had not fulfilled her promise to Teacher Ji Zi; what she felt relieved about was that she no longer had to worry about this bomb of hers suddenly exploding.

Maybe, this is good——

she thought.

However, something unexpected happened and a light blue ice crystal blocked her way.

boom--

A crisp sound was heard, and the ice crystal did not tremble at all. Kiana could even see her own appearance clearly on the slightly transparent ice crystal.

Then, the ice crystals as thin as cicada wings suddenly stood up and waved gently forward.

Ice crystals with a faint sheen flowed around the edge, easily cutting through the body of a Temple-level Honkai beast.

After killing the opponent with one blow, Li Wen immediately put his arms around the white-haired girl's slender waist and quickly retreated to the rear.

After escaping from the encirclement of the Honkai Beasts, Li Wen finally had time to look at the girl in his arms.

The girl's beautiful face showed undisguised fatigue, her body was very slender, and underneath her coat was armor made of a special material with white as the main color, which set off her plump breasts.

As for why Li Wen knew that it was armor, he knew it as soon as he touched the material when he hugged the white-haired girl's slender waist.

I really don't know which force could design such armor. I despise it.

Li Wen despised her in his heart, then smiled and looked at the white-haired girl in his arms, "Miss, are you okay?"

I didn’t expect that I would save another beautiful girl just after returning. Could it be that my romantic luck has come?

Kiana kept moving her gaze upwards, from the light blue ice crystals to Li Wen's hands.

Looking at the hilt of the sword in Li Wen's hand, she finally realized that the ice crystal was actually a sword.

Her gaze continued to move upwards, and just as it landed on Li Wen's face, before she could even open her mouth, she fainted.

She had been exposed to high concentrations of Honkai energy for too long, and coupled with the erosion of the Herrscher of the Void and her own all-out fight, she had reached her limit and fainted.

"Huh?" Li Wen was stunned for a moment as he watched Kiana suddenly faint. Then he quickly observed her condition. "Hiss, this one doesn't look good either. Why do all the beautiful girls back home love fighting so much? They always end up hurting themselves."

It seems that he has to take this white-haired girl back for treatment.

However, before that, let's get rid of these ghosts first.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Wen took off his coat, spread it on the ground, and then gently placed Kiana on the ground.

"What? You don't dare to fight?" Holding the ice crystal sword, he pointed at the Honkai beasts in front of him and issued his provocation.

"Since you don't make the first move, I won't be polite."

There was no extra time to waste with these guys. Li Wen moved quickly and swung out the ice crystal sword in his hand before a Collapse Beast could react.

The ice crystals as thin as cicada wings easily tore the opponent's huge body into two halves. Then, this creature born from the collapse immediately disintegrated and returned to its origin.

Seeing this, several other temple-level Honkai beasts immediately raised their spears and shields and rushed towards Li Wen.

Without any intention of dodging, Li Wen swung the ice crystal sword horizontally, making a sharp sound in the air.

Even the strongest shield of the Temple-level Honkai Beast could not block the long sword at all, and the three Temple-level Honkai Beasts were transformed into ghosts under his sword.

Looking at the few remaining Breakthrough-level Honkai beasts, Li Wen raised his left hand and tapped lightly on the ice crystal sword blade. An extremely sharp wave immediately spread forward, causing those Breakthrough-level Honkai beasts to suddenly fall to the ground powerlessly.

Then, he swung out the ice crystal sword, making it circle in the air like a boomerang, piercing through several falling assault-level Honkai beasts one by one.

Li Wen caught his sword again and put it directly back into the space ring. Then, without even looking at it, he turned around and picked up the white-haired girl on the ground.

Holding his coat and holding the white-haired girl in his arms, Li Wen walked towards the outside of the city. Behind him was only the purple traces that gradually dissipated after the death of the Honkai Beast.

Chapter 10 Blake understands again

When Li Wen came back, Blake was immersed in his pile of cat food.

Now that it has arrived in a world and has the opportunity to replenish its resources, its concerns about its food supply have been relaxed.
