Zhu Youcai was slightly surprised to see Yu Daochen attack directly, but his body quickly dodged, retreating and grabbing a flower pot to smash at Yu Daochen.
Seeing this, Yu Daochen retracted his flames, sidestepped the flying flower pot.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhu Youcai transformed his palm into a tiger's claw and lunged directly for Yu Daochen's throat.
Yu Daochen was unfazed. He raised his arm to block Zhu Youcai's tiger claw, and with his other hand, he formed a palm, condensing a golden light in his palm, and struck Zhu Youcai head-on: Five Elements Technique, Heavenly Qian Palm.
Yu Daochen was incredibly fast. By the time Zhu Youcai reacted, he could only raise his palm to meet the incoming strike.
*Bang*
Both men retreated simultaneously. Yu Daochen braced himself against the doorframe, stopping his backward momentum.
Zhu Youcai similarly used his foot to brace against a flower pot, halting his retreat.
You are not Zhu Youcai. Reveal your true name.
Yu Daochen stared intently at Zhu Youcai. If he were to fight this person, he estimated they would be evenly matched.
As expected of Xu Feng reincarnated, the strongest in the human world. Truly possesses courage, Zhu Youcai praised.
Yu Daochen's expression changed. He immediately drew the Kang Long Rod from his waist. Very few people knew he was Xu Feng reincarnated. Who exactly was this person before him?
Hand over control of your body! a voice echoed in Yu Daochen's ear.
Yu Daochen grunted, and a wisp of white smoke drifted in from outside the door, entering Yu Daochen's body.
Yu Daochen's eyes turned serpentine, and scales rapidly grew on his arms and neck.
What, are you not coming out? Do you intend to show me no respect? Yu Daochen's lips curled into a smile.
After all these years, how can you still be so arrogant?
A voice emanated from within the house, accompanied by a terrifying black aura that plunged everything into darkness.
A young man, about twenty-five years old, walked out slowly.
The youth wore a white suit, his complexion as pale as silver, frighteningly so. His eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and a half-smile played on his lips.
Upon seeing the youth emerge, Zhu Youcai bowed: Master!
The youth grunted and looked at Yu Daochen: Why don't I see that guy?
Qin Muyu shook his head: That guy is still setting up the grand formation.
Those guys in the heavens still aren't planning to let her go? The youth surveyed Yu Daochen.
Qin Muyu did not reply. Instead, he looked at the youth with interest and teased: The dignified leader of the Godly Cult, Shen Tianming, has actually come to this small Jiangdu.
Shen Tianming smiled faintly and shook his head: My visit to Jiangdu this time is twofold: to catch up with you, and to invite you to join me.
Qin Muyu chuckled: Piling corpses to condense yin, opening the gates to the underworld. Do you intend to release all the malevolent spirits of the netherworld?
Shen Tianming grinned: Precisely. The gateway connecting the netherworld to the human realm is already extremely fragile. It won't be long before it completely opens, and the hundred thousand malevolent spirits of hell will all pour into the human world. At that time, the human world will become the next hell.
Madman, Qin Muyu muttered.
Six hundred years ago, the hundred thousand malevolent spirits from the netherworld had already entered the human world once. It plunged the human world into chaos, and no one dared to go out at night. It took the human world two hundred years to completely drive the malevolent spirits back.
Shen Tianming was not angered: I sincerely invite you to join us now. If those guys from the heavens attack, we won't have to fear.
Qin Muyu shook his head: I'm not interested. Whether the hundred thousand malevolent spirits are released or the human world becomes hell, I only wish to stay by this person's side.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Qin Muyu, Shen Tianming did not press further: Then you must work hard in this life. Don't repeat the same mistakes as before, after all, she doesn't have another chance at reincarnation.
I will. As soon as Yu Daochen finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the villa.
The world needs a new order, Shen Tianming's voice echoed from behind.
Yu Daochen shook his head and smiled faintly: Wanting to release a hundred thousand malevolent spirits, it's not that easy.
As Yu Daochen's voice fell, the white smoke floated out of his body and transformed into a human form.
The scales on Yu Daochen's arm dissipated, and his eyes returned to normal.
If the malevolent spirits of the netherworld were truly all released, wouldn't the human world become a living hell? How many people would die? Yu Daochen looked at Qin Muyu beside him with shock.
Qin Muyu grunted and retorted: What, do you want to stop it?
Yu Daochen shook his head. To be honest, he did want to stop it, but his strength was insufficient. He was not a savior, and perhaps not even a good person. He couldn't sacrifice himself for others.
When your strength doesn't match what you want to do, everything is in vain. In that case, he would rather be a turtle hiding in its shell.
I'll just guard my own small patch of land. As long as you and Xiao Ya are alright, I don't care what happens to the human world, Yu Daochen said with a smile.
If you can't be a hero who saves the world, then be a big lazy fish that eats and sleeps, doing as you please, living day by day.
This was Yu Daochen's principle of survival.
This is quite different from your past self, Qin Muyu said with a faint smile, recalling past times.
What are you smiling about? Yu Daochen asked curiously, seeing Qin Muyu smile.
Qin Muyu shook his head: Nothing. Let's go back to the shop.
Yu Daochen grunted: Alright, let's go back together.
By the way, that man in black from last time, did I know him before? Yu Daochen recalled the man in black who had struck him last time.
You remember the memories with him? Qin Muyu asked, startled.
Yu Daochen shook his head: No, I just have that feeling. I know you won't tell me even if I ask. There's no need to ask for the cause and effect of everything. It's fine this way too.
A smile appeared on Yu Daochen's face. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten itself out. When the time is right, you will naturally know.
Qin Muyu remained silent, only gazing at Yu Daochen, a smile playing on his lips.
Time flows by, and in the end, only a few people remain by your side. Some things don't need to be explained so clearly, as long as they are worth it.
