I'm only three years old, how could it be a world-ending catastrophe?

"What right do you have to touch them?!"

"What gives you the right?!"

"What right do you have?!"

Lu Yao's voice grew more and more mournful and higher with each note.

After uttering the last word, she was already in front of Zhong Yu, her bloodless, paper-white fist aimed straight at his chest.

Zhong Yu was greatly alarmed.

He felt a power from that woman's fist that was enough to completely annihilate him.

He dared not hesitate for a moment, his body swelled up and transformed back into the ferocious beast, the Wild Mountain Rhinoceros, which was three meters tall and covered with a rock-like keratinous layer.

"【Immovable Mountain】, open!"

Zhong Yu roared, and the thick layer of keratin on his body emitted an earthy yellow light, forming one indestructible giant rock shield after another in front of him.

At the same time, he slammed his two thick forelimbs into the ground, causing the entire living room floor to tremble. An invisible force of domain protected him firmly within it.

This is his strongest defensive stance as an SS-class ferocious beast.

He believed that even a full-force attack from an SSS-level opponent would not be able to shake him in the slightest.

however……

Lu Yao's fist landed.

boom!

The first rock shield shattered like thin ice.

boom! boom! boom!

Then came the second side, the third side, the fourth side...

Faced with Lu Yao's seemingly delicate fists, Zhong Yu's proud defense was like child's play, being utterly and irrevocably crushed layer by layer.

Finally, that pale fist broke through all obstacles and landed solidly on the chest of Zhong Yu's massive, ferocious beast form.

"puff--"

Zhong Yu let out a painful cry, his massive body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing a huge hole in the wall behind him, and spitting out blood.

His incredibly hardened stratum corneum cracked inch by inch, and a deep fist-shaped dent appeared on his chest, revealing the bone.

He... lost.

A complete and utter defeat.

On the other side, after throwing a punch, Lu Yao's body also swayed, and she also spat out a mouthful of blood.

It wasn't a reaction force.

Instead, she could clearly feel that the power within her was devouring her life force at an alarming rate.

We must... end this battle as soon as possible!

Otherwise, if he were to exhaust all his life force before he could kill this beast, his brother and sister-in-law would be in real danger.

A resolute glint flashed in Lu Yao's eyes.

Although that punch just now didn't kill him completely.

But it's okay.

One more punch...

Just one more punch and that will be enough!

She lifted her foot, ignoring the blood at the corner of her mouth, and walked towards Zhong Yu lying in the ruins again, her fair fist slowly clenching once more.

As he watched the figure approaching him like the Grim Reaper, a hint of fear finally surfaced in Zhong Yu's scarlet beast eyes.

He knew he absolutely couldn't withstand the second punch.

He will die.

"Old Lu! And all the 'family members' upstairs!"

In desperation, Zhong Yu mustered all his strength and let out a roar.

"I'm giving you only one second! If you don't intervene and block this attack for me, I'll self-destruct immediately!"

"I don't know if my SS-class beast's self-destruction will kill her, but this building... will definitely collapse!"

"At that time, apart from Old Lu, none of us will survive!"

Zhong Yu's voice echoed in every corner of the building.

Upstairs, the "family members" who had been watching from the sidelines all changed their expressions.

They never expected that Zhong Yu, this madman, would threaten them in this way.

Room 1301, 13th floor.

Lu Chongshan sighed and put down his teacup.

He knew he had no choice but to take action.

It doesn't matter if Chung Yu dies, but if this building collapses, the foundation of all their "family" will truly be destroyed.

next second.

A vast, ocean-like force poured down from the thirteenth floor to the seventh floor, forming a semi-transparent cyan barrier in front of Zhong Yu.

This is a defensive barrier formed by all the ferocious beasts in this building working together, possessing a strength of SSS level!

Just then, Lu Yao's second punch arrived.

boom!

The cyan barrier shook violently, but shattered in less than half a second.

But that brief half-second gave Zhong Yu a glimmer of hope.

The remaining force of the fist pierced through the barrier and struck Zhong Yu again.

Zhong Yu's massive body was sent flying backward once again, directly through the hole on the sixth floor, and crashed heavily into the community garden. His fate was unknown.

but……

He is still alive!

Because the aura emanating from Zhong Yu that enveloped the entire sixth floor had not dissipated at all!

And Lu Yao...

After unleashing that second punch, her life force was completely depleted.

The world-destroying power gained through sacrifice receded from her body like a tide.

Can……

The extraction of life force has not stopped!

An even stronger sense of weakness washed over her, and Lu Yao staggered, her vision blurring.

At that moment, she finally understood.

It turns out that the so-called sacrifice was not an equal exchange at all.

It simply draws on all your life force in advance, transforming it into immense power, giving you the ability to destroy the world in a short period of time.

But once your life force is insufficient, that power will disappear, but the sacrificial contract will continue to drain your existence until it completely erases you from this world.

No wonder...

No wonder that six hundred years ago, the sacrificer who sacrificed himself could only seal that world-destroying calamity, but could not completely destroy it.

original……

The sacrificers are not invincible...

Lu Yao's face was deathly pale, but it also showed a deep sense of guilt and despair.

She turned her head, and through her blurred vision, she saw her brother and sister-in-law lying in a pool of blood, as well as Xu Heng and Su Jingyi.

"Brother...Sister-in-law...Brother Xu...Sister Su..."

"sorry……"

"I'm really... so useless..."

"I'm so...sorry...I'm so sorry..."

She kept murmuring apologies.

Looking at her, Zhang Hui could no longer stop the tears from flowing.

Jiang Hongming struggled to get up, but could only weakly pound the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

Xu Heng and Su Jingyi remained silent, but their clenched fists spoke volumes.

Downstairs, in the community garden.

Zhong Yu, covered in blood and almost turned into a puddle of mud, was laughing loudly.

He struggled to climb out of the pit and walked toward the entrance of building number six.

"A bunch of useless trash... cough cough..."

"Wait for me...wait until I torture you all to death first, then I'll kill that little beast!!!"

Zhong Yu's laughter was both manic and cruel.

He knew he had won.

Just as Zhong Yu entered the building and started walking up to the sixth floor.

Just as Lu Yao's body was about to collapse, and her last remaining life force was about to be completely drained...

boom!

The balcony glass was smashed from the outside once again.

A massive, blood-red dragon shadow roared in.

When Jiang Luo, riding on the dragon's head, saw the hellish scene in the living room, his chubby little face instantly turned frosty.

Almost instinctively, he jumped off Jiahao's head, his small body moving like lightning, catching Lu Yao just before she fell.

Lu Yao opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at the small figure in front of her. A faint smile appeared on her bloodless face.

"Lolo..."

"You're back..."

"That's...that's great..."

"Take good care of... your father... and mother..."

"From now on... I... can no longer... be with you..."
