Villain: Fairy, please offer your loyalty

The Gatling gun's roar finally stopped.

Dust billowed in the center of the square.

A huge pit, several meters deep, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

At the bottom of the pit, Ye Chen was covered in blood, barely clinging to life.

If he hadn't awakened the "Burning Heaven Battle Body," making his physique far superior to ordinary people, and if the old man with the ring hadn't exhausted his soul power to protect his heart meridian, that wave of Nascent Soul level firepower would have sent him to reincarnation long ago.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Blood foam mixed with fragments of internal organs kept gushing from Ye Chen's mouth.

His eyes were fixed on the demonic figure standing at the edge of the pit, filled with fear, resentment, and deep despair.

He couldn't figure it out.

He was clearly the chosen one, and he had clearly made a comeback, so why couldn't he even withstand a single move from his opponent?

What level of magical artifact is this strange "weapon"? It's terrifyingly powerful!

"Tsk tsk tsk, they're still alive?"

Gu Fan stood at the edge of the pit.

Looking down at Ye Chen from his high vantage point.

"It seems you really have a tough life. You truly are a chosen one."

"Gu...Gu Fan! You...you have no martial ethics..."

Ye Chen used all his strength to squeeze out these words from his throat.

"Martial virtue?"

Gu Fan laughed, casually put the Gatling gun back into his storage space, then jumped into the pit, stomping on Ye Chen's severed right hand and crushing it mercilessly.

"Aaaaaah!!"

The pig-like screams echoed through the sky, sending chills down the spines of the onlookers.

"Only the weak talk about martial virtue; the strong only talk about criminal law."

Gu Fan squatted down and gently patted Ye Chen's face, which was swollen like a pig's head:

"Originally, I could have just shot you to death."

"But I have one advantage: I'm kind-hearted. I don't like simple killing; that's too boring."

"I want you to live, to watch everything you cherish slip away from you, bit by bit."

As he spoke, Gu Fan stood up and waved towards the high platform:

"Yanran, come here."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran, dressed in a flowing black fairy dress, took light steps and landed beside Gu Fan.

Although seeing Ye Chen's miserable state horrified her, she still obediently lowered her head and said, "Young Master."

Kiss me.

Gu Fan pointed to his cheek.

"what?"

Nalan Yanran was stunned, her pretty face turning red to the roots of her ears.

In front of so many people in the world?

"What? You don't want to?"

Gu Fan's tone was slightly cold.

"I...I'm willing!"

Nalan Yanran glanced at Ye Chen's fiery gaze on the ground, gritted her teeth, stood on tiptoe, and gently pressed her red lips to Gu Fan's cheek.

"No!!!"

Ye Chen's eyes widened, and blood tears even streamed from the corners of his eyes.

That's his fiancée!

She's the woman he swore he'd make regret it!

Now, right in front of him, she kisses his enemy!

At that moment, Ye Chen felt as if his heart was being torn to shreds...

[Ding! Detected that the Chosen One Ye Chen's mentality has completely collapsed! His luck value has plummeted by 2000 points!]

[Reward: Primordial Chaos Body (Puzzle 2/1000)!]

[Reward: Fragment of a Mysterious Map x1 (That was Ye Chen's original next great opportunity)!]

"What a fine leek!"

Gu Fan felt his depleted spiritual root loosening again, and he was in a great mood.

But he did not give up.

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; this is only the beginning.

"Junior Sister Ling'er."

Gu Fan turned his head again and looked at the little girl in the crowd who was covering her mouth and had a pale face.

Xiao Ling'er was hiding behind the crowd, trembling with fear.

She had the "Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword" that Gu Fan had forced on her to hang from her waist.

She gripped the sword hilt tightly in her hand, as if it were her only support.

Xiao Ling'er witnessed her brother Ye Chen being brutally beaten by Gu Fan like a dog being abused, and the monument of "Invincible War God" in her heart collapsed.

So... Brother Ye Chen is this weak?

So... what Gu Fan said that day was true!

Without a strong background and resources, the saying "Don't underestimate a young person's potential" is a joke in the face of absolute power.

"come over."

Gu Fan's voice rang out again.

Xiao Ling'er trembled and instinctively wanted to back away.

"If you don't want him to die, come over here."

These words instantly stopped Xiao Ling'er in her tracks.

She glanced at the dying boy at the bottom of the pit, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Gu Fan! Let her go! Come at me if you have a problem!!"

When Ye Chen saw Xiao Ling'er approaching, he roared like a mad beast. He tried to struggle to get up, but Gu Fan stomped him back into the ground.

"Sh-be quiet."

Gu Fan put a finger to his lips, then pulled Xiao Ling'er, who had walked up to him, over.

To the astonishment of everyone present, he actually sat down on a rock by the pit.

Then apply a little force.

He picked up the petite Xiao Ling'er directly.

"ah--!"

Xiao Ling'er gasped in surprise and instinctively tried to struggle, but a warm, large hand firmly held her slender waist.

"Don't move."

Gu Fan leaned close to her crystal-clear earlobe, his voice audible only to the two of them:

"Ling'er, do you remember what I told you before?"

"If you behave and come with me, I'll spare his life."

"And... as long as you serve me well, I'll not only give you the best resources, but I can even leave some scraps for your brother Ye Chen, so he can live like a dog. How about it? Isn't that a good deal?"

Xiao Ling'er's face flushed red, her eyes filled with humiliation and indignation.

She felt the firm touch beneath her thighs, looked at the handsome yet wicked face so close to her, and then glanced at Ye Chen, who was screaming desperately in the mud at her feet.

The harsh reality shattered all her illusions at that moment.

If you don't agree, Brother Ye Chen will die.

If she agrees, she can never go back.

at last.

Under Ye Chen's gaze, which was filled with rage.

Xiao Ling'er slowly stopped struggling. Her once proud little face softened, and she leaned weakly into Gu Fan's arms.

"I...I promise you."

"As long as you don't kill him... I'll go with you."

boom!!

Although the words were spoken lightly, they struck Ye Chen like a bolt from the blue!

Gu Fan laughed heartily, and in front of Ye Chen, he lightly twirled a strand of Xiao Ling'er's hair with his fingers, even deliberately pinching her rosy cheek:

"Good girl."

"Ye Chen, did you see that?"

While toying with the beauty in his arms, Gu Fan looked at the cripple at his feet with extreme pity:

"Your childhood sweetheart, whom you cherish so much, is willing to sell herself to me to save your wretched life."

"What's the point of your life? Besides being a burden to women, what else can you do?"

"Your so-called dignity, your so-called pride, are utterly worthless in the face of her immense sacrifice!"

"puff!!"

Ye Chen coughed up another mouthful of blood, the light in his eyes went out completely, and he fainted.

This time.

He was truly heartbroken.

[Ding! Successfully intercepted! Xiao Ling'er submits! Ye Chen's luck value plummets again!]

[Host has acquired the title of 'Master Cao's True Disciple'; Repair progress of the damaged spiritual root: 30%!]

Gu Fan looked at Ye Chen, who had fainted, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Throw him out."

"Tell him I'll be waiting for him in the upper realms, if he can still climb up."
