What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

"call……"

"We're finally out of danger!"

After entering the spatial rift, Aro wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

Within the spatial rift, chaos reigned.

The silvery spatial turbulence writhed wildly in the gray void like a raging python.

Aro's figure was enveloped in magical light, speeding through the turbulent currents.

"Damn it!"

"How could such an unreasonable monster have appeared among the human race?!"

His mind was still filled with the lingering fear of surviving the ordeal, his heart was still pounding wildly in his chest, and he felt like it was about to burst out of his ribs at any moment.

Aro gritted his teeth and mentally cursed every one of the Shadow Ghost Clan's ancestors for eighteen generations.

What utter nonsense!

According to top-secret intelligence provided by the Shadowghosts.

Is the strongest being at the current ceiling of the human race a Mahayana Realm old man whose body is already half buried in the yellow earth?

Where on earth did this guy who just opened the shop spring up from?!

Just thinking about what happened in the store earlier made Aro shudder, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

That's the Abyssal Demon Flame!

It was the trump card that allowed him to cultivate in the abyss for a thousand years and achieve the position of Demon King!

Even he himself usually had to be very careful in keeping it, for fear of being devoured by that violent energy.

The results of it?

In the young man's hands, the raging demonic flames were like a stray dog ​​that had been kicked on the roadside, instantly losing all their heat and ferocity.

Not only does it not burn people, it even obediently makes milk tea for them?!

His fawning manner was even more submissive than when Xilin knelt before the Demon Emperor.

If you attached a tail to it, it would probably spin like a propeller on the spot!

"That's terrifying..."

Aro swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with difficulty.

That kind of effortless skill, treating the abyss's top-tier killing moves as nothing.

This is something that no Mahayana Realm cultivator could achieve. Even if you said it was a true immortal descending to earth, A Luo wouldn't think he was qualified.

Fortunately...

Aro took a deep breath to calm his racing heart.

The fear on his face gradually faded, replaced by an irrepressible smug smile.

He put his hands on his hips, tilted his head back, and laughed a few times.

"So what if this person is strong? So what if their methods are extraordinary?"

"You still managed to slip away right under my nose!"

Aro stretched out his finger and tapped his temple triumphantly, the corners of his mouth widening into a grin.

"As expected, brute force is ultimately a inferior method; in the end, it was the wisdom of this Demon King that triumphed over everything."

"Faced with absolute intelligence, no matter how strong you are, you'll only be left eating my dust!"

After a moment of smugness, Aro's smile gradually faded, and he stroked his chin as he began to plot.

Should we go back and truthfully report the matter of this terrifying shopkeeper to the Demon Emperor?

The fact that the human race has such a trump card is definitely a huge hidden danger to the Abyss.

But the thought only lasted for less than three seconds before he extinguished it.

No!

Absolutely not!

Aro shook his head like a rattle.

If I were to report this to the Demon Emperor, wouldn't the failure of my carefully planned scheme be completely exposed?

The Demon Emperor doesn't care how strong your enemy is; defeat is defeat.

Judging from the Demon Emperor's temper, he would probably skin him alive and throw him into the abyss blood pool to feed those low-level demonic beasts!

"Just pretend this never happened."

Arro made up his mind and gave a heavy snort.

"Yes, I just woke up, and I haven't seen any monster shopkeeper. The weather is really nice today; I just went out for a walk."

Just then, the spatial turbulence ahead suddenly calmed down, and the silver light gradually converged, forming a stable elliptical exit.

This means that he has left the danger zone and is about to reach a safe spatial coordinate.

Aro stopped in his tracks.

He brushed the dust off his clothes, rolled up the torn corners of his clothes, then grabbed the collar with both hands and pulled it up to smooth out the wrinkles.

Then, he reached out with both hands and swept his messy hair back, tidying it up meticulously.

Having done all this, Aro took a deep breath and straightened his back.

With his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised at a 45-degree angle, his eyes regained their coldness and arrogance, filled with a superior and authoritative aura.

With everything prepared, he maintained his elegant and majestic demeanor as a demon king, took large strides, and calmly stepped out of the portal of light in the spatial rift.

With one step, blinding light instantly filled my vision.

Aro closed his eyes, waiting for the familiar sulfurous smell of the abyss to enter his nostrils.

However, the next second.

A leisurely, even slightly mocking voice lazily rang in his ear.

"Oh, you're done shopping?"

"Shall we pay for the escape room tickets?"

Aro's indifference gradually turned into astonishment, his chin, raised at a 45-degree angle, still hovering in mid-air.

That voice... why does it sound so familiar?

Auditory hallucination?

Yes, it must be an auditory hallucination.

Refocus your gaze and sweep it forward.

Before their eyes, leaden clouds hung in the sky, and a large group of human warriors stared intently at two old men locked in fierce combat in mid-air not far away.

The terrifying shopkeeper, who seemed to have gotten his hands on a small stool from somewhere, sat in mid-air, holding a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand, and was leisurely cracking them open.

While kowtowing, she looked him up and down with the same gaze one would give a monkey show.

"Gurgle."

Aro swallowed hard.

He turned around again and looked behind him.

The spatial rift that he had just emerged from was like a zipper, slowly closing until it shrank into a black dot and completely disappeared into the air.

???

Aro was stunned.

His supposedly brilliant mind had turned into a complete mess.

No, didn't I run away?!

I ran through the spatial turbulence for so long, I even got into position, how did I end up back here?!

Could it be that the location coordinates were faulty when the space was torn apart?

Did it all go in circles?

Large drops of cold sweat instantly broke out on Aro's forehead, sliding down his cheeks and soaking his back.

He looked at Xu Tianlin not far away, throwing all pretense of dignity and composure to the winds.

Without saying a word, Aro bit his tongue hard.

"puff!"

A mouthful of black blood gushed out.

His essence and blood rapidly burned in the air, transforming into an extremely violent red demonic light that enveloped his entire body.

He formed his hands into claws, and his demonic energy surged instantly. He plunged them into the void in front of him and tore them apart with force!

"Sizzle!"

The space was roughly torn open like a rag, and Aro plunged in without hesitation, without even saying hello.

Two seconds later.

Less than half a meter to Xu Tianlin's left, the space rippled slightly.

A black hole suddenly opened, and Aro's figure rushed out from it like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, landing firmly on his feet.

"We should be safe now!"

He raised his head.

He met Xu Tianlin's lowered gaze.

Xu Tianlin spat out some sunflower seed shells and handed the remaining sunflower seeds in his hand to A Luo.

"Want some? It's spiced."

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Aro: ...

Aro's eye twitched violently.

Burning one's essence and blood won't work?

Then let's ignite our divine souls!

"Ahhhhh!"

Aro let out a mournful roar, and a dark blue flame suddenly ignited between his brows.

That's a sign that the divine soul has been ignited!

The intense pain contorted his features instantly, but he couldn't care less about that now.

He waved his hands again, tearing through space, and plunged headfirst into the dark crack.

"Thump."

It took less than three seconds to get inside.

A crack appeared in the ceiling, and Aro fell out headfirst, landing face-first on the ground. He slid half a meter across the uneven surface and stopped just in front of Xu Tianlin's toes.

"This is a ghost!!!"

Aro was completely terrified. He scrambled to his feet and flailed his arms wildly in the air.

Tear through space! Dive inside!

He fell out from next to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was so scared he was terrified.

Ignoring Xu Feng, who had leaped three meters away, A Luo gritted his teeth, tore through space, and slipped inside again!

Then, it rolled out from behind Liu Bo.

"I refuse to believe it!"

Tear through space! Dive inside!

……

Time and again, the defiant Aro was like a fly trapped in a transparent glass bottle, frantically bumping around.

Time and again, it tears open space, time and again burning away its last remaining strength.

Then it reappeared again and again from various bizarre angles within a hundred meters of Xu Tianlin.

After more than ten rounds.

"Bang."

Aro fell from the void and lay sprawled on the floor.

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it!"

This time, he didn't get up again.

The entire demon was completely exhausted.

His body was completely depleted of its essence and blood, as dry as a desert.

The spirit between his brows had become so weak that only a wisp of green smoke remained.

If the burning continues, even if he isn't killed, he'll turn into a drooling idiot.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath like a broken bellows.

Impressed!

I'm completely convinced.

Lying on the cold ground, Aro stared blankly at the fierce battle in the sky, his mind replaying the feeling of burning his essence and soul to their peak for the last time.

At that time, his senses were incredibly sharp.

He clearly felt that he had indeed torn through space and entered the spatial turbulence.

but!

Just as he was about to flee, an invisible force enveloped him.

It's the law of space!

It's not that anyone is controlling the laws, but rather that the laws of space themselves are in control.

It was like a sensible servant who proactively reached out his hands, turned him around, and then carefully returned him like a deliveryman!

Simply because the laws of space are pleasing this shop owner!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Aro felt a chill run through his body.

How powerful must a person be to make the cold, indifferent laws of the universe actively seek their favor?!

Faced with an existence that even the laws of heaven and earth have to fawn over, what kind of conspiracy or trickery could there be?

What do you mean by exceptionally intelligent?

It's all bullshit!

"Click."

Deep within Aro's mind, a crisp cracking sound seemed to echo.

That was his pride as the Demon King of the Abyss, that was his unwavering Dao heart, which shattered into countless shards of glass at this moment.

Aro struggled on the floor for a couple of moments, like a dehydrated salted fish.

He used his hands to support himself on the ground and struggled to sit up.

He looked up at Xu Tianlin, who was standing in front of him, brushing the sunflower seed crumbs off his hands.

Aro's facial muscles twitched wildly, straining upwards to force a smile that was a hundred times uglier than crying.

"that……"

Aro rubbed his hands together:

"Shopkeeper, if I told you that I was going in and out of here repeatedly because I wanted to go back and get you some tea, a specialty of the Abyss... would you believe me?"
