Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

After saying that, he put away his shield and transformed himself into a giant firebird again, charging forward fearlessly. He either detonated and shattered the fire demons blocking his way, or knocked them away like bowling sticks. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the purple-haired woman with the long sword.

"follow me!"

Without time for further communication, Jiang Yan immediately made a U-shaped turn after meeting up with the other party, and rushed back along the same route while the fire demons had not yet met up.

After a brief moment of distraction, the purple-haired woman caught up with Jiang Yan in the blink of an eye with her lightning-fast figure. Under the cover of Latio and other members of the assault team, she rushed all the way back to the Yonghuo Mansion.

Fei Jin Xuan Ling is not a simple move that can be performed by consuming the strength in the body, but it is an ultimate shaping and extension of the virtual force around the body that can only be achieved by practicing the Sword Heart Technique to the extreme.

This kind of profound skill, which requires the mind, body, and skills to be at their peak, can only be unleashed continuously. Jiang Yan, who had just rushed back to the Yonghuo official residence after forcing himself to unleash two Flying Embers Mysterious Spirits, sat down on the ground without any manners, breathing heavily.

Not long after, a hand wearing a black glove appeared in front of him. It was the mysterious woman just now.

Jiang Yan did not refuse the other party's kindness. He stretched out his right hand very straightforwardly, grabbed the other party's hand, took advantage of the momentum to stand up, and said enthusiastically:

"Thank you for coming across the stars to help. What's your name?"

The mysterious woman was silent for a moment, and wanted to say something, but in the end she just said:

"Yellow Spring."

Jiang Yan didn't mind the other party's frugality. Among the powerful who were dedicated to their destiny, being inarticulate was not a rare trait. On the contrary, those who were good at communication were rare, and almost all of them became senior officials or even leaders of certain forces.

How could communication be more important than strength? As long as you're strong enough, a casual glance will have a large number of people following your opinions. Why waste time on others? Among the strong, there is no shortage of people with this attitude. Jiang Yan just regarded this Miss Huang Quan as one of them and quickly introduced her enthusiastically:

"Okay, Miss Huang Quan, let me cut to the chase and explain the current situation. Several of our strongest warriors are battling the Grand Duke of Hellfire. The outcome is still uncertain, but they shouldn't be a problem in the short term. Several of our companions are also attempting to seize control of the magic formation in this user's residence. It seems they're making good progress, so we must first intercept these fire demons as quickly as possible, then find those companions, leave a few to guard the magic formation, and then go together to besiege the Grand Duke of Hellfire. Do you understand?"

Huang Quan nodded silently and followed Jiang Yan.

Soon, Jiang Yan returned to his previous position, unfolded a protective shield, and was about to help Huang Quan find an attack position, but he saw that she did not stop, but walked past him and continued to move forward, with the long sword upright, her left hand tightly grasping the scabbard, and her right arm across her body, grabbing the long hilt.

"Just find any attack position. Hold on for a while, and we can take turns to rest and recover our strength... Hey? Don't stand in front of me, that's where we'll focus our fire!"

Jiang Yan was completely bewildered by Huang Quan's actions. "Is all that I said in vain?"

Find a tactical position! Have you always fought alone before?

In the blink of an eye, Huang Quan had arrived at the main gate of Yonghuo Mansion. The members of the assault team who were blocking the fire demon had their vision blocked. They didn't want to backstab their own people, so they had to complain and stopped one after another:

"What are you doing? Get out of the way! What if I hit you?"

"Who called this guy? Will he cooperate?"

"Someone hurry up and drag her down? What if the enemy gathers more if we delay for a few more seconds?"

Just when someone was eager to try and drag someone else away, Huang Quan suddenly turned his head slightly and responded to Jiang Yan:

"Let me buy some time."

After saying that, he drew his sword, and the world in front of him suddenly turned black and white!

Jiang Yan saw that in this black and white, the tips of Miss Huangquan's purple hair suddenly turned snow-white. After a white light cut the black and white world in front of him into countless pieces, the world regained its color.

However, as if to prove that everything that happened in the black and white world was not an illusion, in the next moment, with the sound of a neat explosion, all the fire demons within Jiang Yan's sight were chopped to pieces by this sword, and turned into a sky full of flames in front of him!

Oh my god! What kind of trick is this? Who is this person?

Be it Jiang Yan, Latio, or other members of the assault team, they were all stunned by this move.

Jiang Yan considered himself a man who had seen the world. He had even faced General Jing Yuan's giant divine blade head-on, not to mention other moves.

However, Jiang Yan felt that even General Jingyuan's move at Qilongtai might not be as shocking as the one Miss Huangquan used before him.

After all, General Jing Yuan's move was only to eliminate demons and defend the way. As long as you don't stand on the opposite side of him, you will not feel the terrifying oppressive power of the God.

But when Huang Quan slashed this time, Jiang Yan only felt an indescribable terror, as if the person who was hit by the knife would have his entire life ruthlessly wiped out.

Huang Quan, who had unleashed this terrifying secret technique, seemed completely unmoved by the reactions of others. He simply turned back and stared at Jiang Yan for a long time with eyes filled with countless complex emotions before speaking:

"Let's go to the next place."

No one knew how surprised Huang Quan was when she saw a brightly colored young man charging towards her in a world of endless black and white, blazing with radiant flames. The surprise she had given Jiang Yan was not even a fraction of the one he had given her.

She had never imagined that in her world, which had almost faded into nothingness, there would one day be such bright colors and such fresh smells, making her doubt whether what she saw was just a dream.

But she quickly overturned this idea. After all, even her dreams were now just empty black and white shells. How could she have the scene before her?

Ever since bathing in the evening rain called "nothingness", the world has lost its "color" for Huang Quan. This "color" is not a color, but "existence" and "meaning". Everything in the world, when viewed in the evening rain, will no longer have any "color".

However, in Huang Quan's eyes, the evening rain seemed unable to completely cover up Jiang Yan's "color", and he almost appeared in front of him intact.

He has color, he has smell, he has temperature, he has emotions, he has memories... In this completely faded world, his existence is simply conspicuous and extremely abnormal.

Huang Quan almost used up all his willpower to resist rushing up to touch his presence, sniff his scent, feel his temperature, experience his emotions, and create his memories... at least not until he was sure that the other party would not be dragged into the evening rain by him.

So Huang Quan calmly accepted the identity of "temporary comrade-in-arms", started contact with Jiang Yan at the safest distance, and couldn't wait to take the opportunity to open the mystery and bring the "color" obtained from Jiang Yan into the "horizon of existence".

When Huang Quan still saw the dazzling and blurry bright fire in his hand in the cold and silent black and white world of the black hole, two lines of blood and tears silently flowed from Huang Quan's eyes.

Only when you have nothing can you truly understand the value of "getting".

This touch of fire made Huang Quan feel again the joy and sweetness of life that she had been away from for who knows how many years, and made her long-dried soul crave more and more.

Faced with such temptation, Huang Quan no longer cared why this person's "color" could penetrate the evening rain.

Nothingness does not require any reason and will not change. This "existence" itself is the result and the answer.

Since there may not be another such thing in the universe that allows Huang Quan to experience the existence of "color", how could he give it up?

Not just for myself, but for all beings who have fallen into "nothingness".

For a long time, the only thing that prevented Huang Quan from completely fading into nothingness was her will to watch over people leaving the "nothingness" and her ideal of finding a way to cut off the "nothingness" even though she was in the "nothingness".

To sever the void, one must forge a blade impervious to the void. The twelve "World-Protecting Swords" forged with the power of Izumo wouldn't work, nor would the two "World-Fighting Swords" forged by the "existences" of the two worlds of Izumo and Takama-ga-hara. With this thought, Huang Quan gazed at the blaze in his hand and fell into deep thought.

I found another "knife". Is this a sign from fate? Is it the "knife" I wanted?

Last time, the sword forged from two worlds still failed to cut through the "nothingness".

This time, how much weight must he bear to forge him into the savior blade he desires? And why should he let him bear such a weight for himself?

Huang Quan had no idea of ​​the answer.

But it doesn't matter, she has long been accustomed to this situation.

Ever since she started holding the sword, she has always been accompanied by despair, looking for a way out of the "impossible", and this time is no different.

Anyway... let's start by being friends.

What did he say he wanted to do? Besiege the Duke of Hellfire?

Oops, I've Been Haunted by a Genius!: Chapter 215: Recipe Conflict

Although Huang Quan came to Topheite this time only to get the invitation letter from the watchmaker, since her "knife" wanted her to help chop down the Duke of Hellfire, she didn't mind paying some friendship fees.

They were just a group of extremely evil people who destroyed several planets. Would it be unfair to kill them?

Faced with Huang Quan's initiative to help, Jiang Yan was overjoyed to have such a powerful ally for no apparent reason. He quickly said:

"It would be my honor. I'll take you there right away."

After saying that, he turned to Latio and said:

"Professor Latio, please lead everyone to reinforce Miss Xing first. We can reunite once the situation is under control."

Even if the opponent is a genuine heretic, more people "fighting shoulder to shoulder" isn't necessarily better. Without enough space, no one can fully exert their power, and it will only restrict everyone's actions. Especially after witnessing Huang Quan's astonishing sword strike, who would be so arrogant as to compete with such a powerful person for the center position, which would be counterproductive? All we need to do is observe a moment of silence for the Grand Duke of Hellfire.

In contrast, controlling and temporarily sealing the planet's energy hub was paramount, preventing the advantageously situated Grand Duke of Hellfire from self-destructing and annihilating them all. Therefore, Latio accepted Jiang Yan's trust without hesitation, preparing to seize the opportunity before the next wave of fire demons arrived, to decisively fight and eliminate all worries before joining the siege of Grand Duke of Hellfire.

After parting ways with Latio, Jiang Yan led Huang Quan upstairs and asked the resident in his body:

"Sister, this Miss Huang Quan can't be someone who hides her identity and has ulterior motives, right?"

Jiang Yan had just been nearly ambushed by a memory stealer who appeared out of nowhere, and then in the blink of an eye, a reinforcement with even more outrageous strength arrived. It would be strange if Jiang Yan didn't have any doubts.

However, Tingyun's reaction was completely beyond Jiang Yan's expectations.

In response to Jiang Yan's question, Ting Yun remained silent for a long time, and finally said with mixed emotions:

"This Miss Huang Quan has indeed concealed her identity and does have ulterior motives. However, it has nothing to do with you, Xiao Jiang. Be friends with her, there's no harm in that."

As soon as Huang Quan arrived at Jiang Yan's side, Ting Yun had already noticed that this individual, who seemed eager to pack up the very air around Jiang Yan and savor it, was none other than the Sui Yang Clan's nemesis—the Self-Destroyer. After all, this strange being, trapped in "nothingness" both physically and mentally, was no different from a pile of ashes ready to be blown away by the wind, unable to ignite and devoid of warmth. To the Sui Yang Clan, who feed on emotions, this strange being was as obvious as a speck of ink on a blank sheet of paper.

Initially, Tingyun didn't believe the self-annihilator had any intentions towards Jiang Yan. After all, after being infected by the Void, most self-annihilators become like the walking corpse, their bodies, cognition, and memories gradually fading away on their journey of self-destruction. There was no need to pay attention to them. Even if a few powerful beings felt the urge to resist, they would at most join the Chaos Doctors, vowing to do their best to heal the Void in others within their limited time in exchange for their own salvation. Or even worse, some, supported by their strong faith, would attempt to sever the curse of the Void at its root. Either way, it clearly had nothing to do with his younger brother.

However, when Tingyun discovered that this self-destructor who called himself "Huangquan" was secretly and wholeheartedly sensing the power, emotions, memories and all other "existences" emanating from Jiang Yan without any pickiness, she was completely shocked.

Although Tingyun always thought that his brother's food tasted the best in the universe, he never expected that it was so delicious that even the self-destructor captured by "nothingness" could smell it.

Does this make sense? It doesn't fit the foundation of the universe!

Well, that’s not the point. The point is that this guy dared to smell his cake hard in front of him, but he couldn’t handle it!

Who could possibly take on a self-destructor? Even if left alone, it would dissipate on its own. No one could stop this process, nor could anyone accelerate it. "Nothingness" was its most powerful curse and its most powerful protection.

But who can defeat "nothingness"? At least not yet, and Tingyun doesn't intend to try. Isn't it good to be alive?

Facing this "taster" who could not be burned, defeated, or calculated against, even Tingyun, who was so powerful, felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Memory stealers, self-destructors... Damn it! What kind of magical radio waves does my brother have that can attract these rare birds and beasts that are hard to find even if you search the entire universe?

Tingyun couldn't help but think of Ruan Mei, with whom she had to exchange interests, and her "daughter" Prometheus, whom she created with her own hands, and even herself, all of whom were victims of this strange radio wave.

At this rate and level, what will the future hold? Funeral guests? Mirror viewers? Insect swarms? Or perhaps a celestial choir?

How many people do you want to share this little cake with that you spent so much effort and energy to cook until it tastes perfect?

Thinking of this, Tingyun was almost driven into autism by this group of cyber freeloaders.

But she was certainly not the kind of person who would sit there and wait for death. Soon, she looked at Huang Quan, who was greedily sensing all of Jiang Yan's "existence", and came up with a good idea.

It seems that we must win over some allies whose recipes do not overlap, otherwise the number of strange guys will continue to increase!

For example, this guy in front of you who can't "eat" because of the "nothingness" curse and can only "smell" fiercely, seems to be a good partner?

Love smelling it? Let me give it to you! It won't hurt!

But as a price, any wild cat that wants to steal food from you will be yours!

Thinking this way, Tingyun, with his brain working at full capacity, quickly began to weave a future plot for Huang Quan and his younger brother.

With her endorsement, Jiang Yan finally felt relieved and soon led Huang Quan back to the throne room on the top floor.

Looking at the still flickering flaming door and the violent energy fluctuations, Jiang Yan, who had chosen to go downstairs first, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had confidence in Ji Zi, Walter, and Dan Heng's abilities, who could guarantee victory in a battle? Who knew how many tricks the Netherfire Duke had at home? If anything happened to any of them, Jiang Yan had no idea how to apologize and compensate him to make himself feel at ease.

But since everyone is fine, then Duke Minghuo will be in trouble. After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan said:

"Ms. Huang Quan, the Duke of Hellfire possesses the power of phase teleportation. Once he gets away, no one can catch him, so we'd better try to defeat him in one move."

"I'll work with a few friends on the Star Train to hold him back, and you'll find an opportunity to kill him. What do you say?"

Jiang Yan thought that since they had just met, any tacit cooperation was pure fantasy. Instead of coming up with any complicated plan, it would be better to just use the simplest four-protect-one strategy.

Duke Hellfire's Phase Shift might not be considered a top-tier talent for combat, but it was incredibly powerful for escaping. Once the enemy witnessed Huang Quan's sword slicing a vast swath of the world into black and white, they would likely flee without a backward glance, leaving no hope of catching up.

Huang Quan thought about it and understood Jiang Yan's concerns. He nodded and said:

"In that case, I'll wait here. Please try to inflict wounds on the enemy so that I can accurately sense their defenses. When the opportunity arises, I'll swing a vertical strike in this direction. Please try to avoid this direction."

"Okay, I'll remember it." Jiang Yan agreed without hesitation.

Huang Quan added a little embarrassedly:

"I came to Tophet this time to fulfill a promise. Grand Duke Hellfire holds a music box, which is an invitation and a token from Pinocchio, the 'Watchmaker.' After the war, could you please give me this music box?"

Before Huang Quan came to the planet Tophet, he had never imagined that the Duke of Hellfire was so unpopular that he was beaten badly by the coalition forces of the entire universe.

While it's a good thing to have someone help locate and assist, I only have one sword. How can I have the nerve to discuss resource consumption with the bigwigs who have dispatched the fleet? How can I have the nerve to take the most important treasure when dividing the spoils?

However, in Jiang Yan's opinion, an invitation letter in exchange for a move from such a master is really worth it, so he patted his chest and promised:

"Of course! Don't worry, as long as we win this battle successfully, we will help you find the music box, even if it means digging three feet into the ground."

Huang Quan took the initiative to put forward his request, which made Jiang Yan very happy.

Faced with this temporary ally who joined on the front line and had the word "suspicious" written all over his face, if the other party didn't have any requests, Jiang Yan would really doubt what Miss Huang Quan was doing in Tofeite.

Jiang Yan's straightforwardness made Huang Quan feel a little embarrassed:

"is this okay?"

"Don't worry, the hostages we rescued may be more valuable than the treasures of ten "watchmakers." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

Jiang Yan had also heard of the "watchmaker". He seemed to be a powerful figure during the founding period of Pinocchio. However, he was not known for his military prowess. However, in recent years, he seemed to have transformed into a business tycoon.
