Excessive ferocity due to caution

Its unpredictable impatience left a flaw, which became the root cause of its destruction.

After Master Hongmu's body was burned to a pile of charcoal, the aura of the dark figure outside the temple gate also became extremely weak.

It no longer has the ability to kill Zhao Yi head-on.

Zhao Yi dispelled the psychic barrier at the entrance of the main hall and stood before the strange creature:

"You have one more chance to turn the tide..."

The strange creature, already curled up in a ball, looked at Zhao Yi with anger and resentment, yet remained silent.

"Don't you need a new parasitic host?"

Zhao Yi squatted down and pointed to himself:

"How am I?"

Strangely, he was taken aback.

It looked at Zhao Yi. Although Zhao Yi's strength was far inferior to that of Hongmu, he was indeed a host that could barely become its parasitic host.

But the fact that these words came from Zhao Yi's own mouth always made Guijue feel strange.

How could an enemy who wanted to kill it just a moment ago suddenly become its parasitic host?

Seeing the strange creature hesitate, Zhao Yi slapped it on the head and earnestly advised it:

"Since you're going to die anyway, why not take a gamble?"

"Are you willing to be killed by me like this?"

A strange silence.

Zhao Yi squatted down in front of it, carefully cradling its charred, ugly, and terrifying face, and stared into its eyes.

Zhao Yi's innocent and clear eyes almost moved the strange creature with his sincerity... well, provided that Zhao Yi didn't burn it to a crisp.

"Let's take a gamble..."

Zhao Yi earnestly offered words of comfort.

"I've put such a good container on your face, it would be a real shame if you didn't give it a try!"

"Look at my face... I burned you to this state, don't you hate me?"

He clenched his fists tightly.

If it still had the strength, it would not hesitate to punch Zhao Yi in the face!

That's so damn infuriating!

When tempers flare up, emotions naturally follow.

With a roar, its body transformed into eerie black mist, filled with boundless rage and hatred, and it howled as it burrowed into Zhao Yi's body...

It wants to invade Zhao Yi's consciousness!

It wants to make Zhao Yi regret everything he has done in despair!

It wants to...

"belch--"

Zhao Yi burped, patted his belly, stood up, and revealed a satisfied expression in his red, malevolent eyes.

I have no idea what this weird dish is all about... but it tastes really good!

Turn around.

The coffin burned, and the charred redwood corpse emitted a faint golden light. It slowly sat up and sat cross-legged among the unconscious monks, nodding to Zhao Yi as if to thank him.

The bell tolled again and again until the forty-ninth toll ended, at which point the faint golden light on the redwood corpse dissipated along with the sound of the bell.

As Zhao Yi stepped out of the palace gate, he casually picked up the bamboo umbrella, opened it, and stepped into the rain...

Outside the temple.

Zhao Yi looked at the white-robed monk Nanjia and couldn't help but click his tongue:

You've matured so much.

Today's Nanjia is no longer the silly little novice monk he once was. Dressed in white robes fluttering in the wind, and with the compassionate wrinkles between his brows, he exudes the air of a reclusive sage!

His strength has already reached the intermediate quasi-major ferocity level.

When they met again, Nan Jia touched his bald head and smiled:

"So much time has passed since we parted years ago, it's only natural that this humble monk has undergone some changes."

"But Mr. Zhao... hasn't changed at all over the years, which is quite remarkable."

Zhao raised an eyebrow and said:

"Is Miss Xiu still there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wooden puppet crawled out from behind Nan Jia, exuding a strange and evil aura. Its eerie eyes scrutinized Zhao Yi.

It's hard to imagine that such an evil entity could stay with a monk who exudes a peaceful and Buddhist aura, and get along so well.

Upon seeing the puppet, Zhao Yi roughly understood that before he intervened in this secret realm, Nan Jia must have perished along with the strange entity on the redwood. Then, the puppet Li Xiuer lingered on in Nan Jia's body until Zhao Yi arrived and begged him for help.

The phrase "Save him" was meant to tell Zhao Yi to save Nan Jia.

Nan Jia reached out and gently rubbed the puppet's head, and the puppet affectionately rubbed against him.

"Master Kumei used the power of truth he had cultivated for many years to revive Xiu'er. Although Xiu'er lost some of her past memories, she retained the ability to love..."

"What a pity... I won't have the chance to repay Master Kumei."

Nan Jia chuckled self-deprecatingly.

This was his own misfortune, but the withered plum tree sacrificed its life to save him.

He owes Kumei and Garan Temple too much.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Yi asked.

Nanga pointed to the Redwood Temple:

"Look, I am now the abbot of the temple."

"If Mr. Zhao needs any help in the future, he can come to me anytime."

Zhao nodded and followed Nanjia into the temple, where the bells rang out.

clang--

The sound of the bell echoed throughout the suburban mountains, startling countless birds into flight.

After exploring the secret realm of Redwood Temple, he gained an unexpected reward—

Now, both Nan Jia and Li Xiuer are at the level of near-great evil, as is the sorceress Wang Zhi, which means that his team has suddenly gained three more near-great evil beings!

Zhao went down to the suburban mountains and returned to the Tianwang Hotel in the abandoned city.

Open the store and purchase 30 fragments of "Lunyu"!

402/492.

Ninety more pages are needed for his rhetoric to become the true red-level martial art, the Analects!

...

[Congratulations to player Zhao Yi! You have reached 400 pages of the Analects and obtained the special effect "Walking a hundred miles, the last ten are the hardest."]

[The last mile is the hardest: When you wear the skill, your final strength will increase by 40%]

...

40%?

Zhao Yi was slightly startled.

Open the panel.

The power level has now reached 1479.

That's incredible!

Percentage increase, and this is the final value!

This means that this thing can multiply and stack the power of the Darkest Personality after fusion and the Unparalleled Power!

Don't be fooled by Zhao Yi's current strength of only 1400. After merging with the Darkest Personality, his strength is over 4000. And after the superposition of Analects and Peerless, his strength value soars to 7400!

You can definitely fight against a high-level, near-major inauspicious opponent head-on!

Moreover, Zhao Yi, in that state of power, could achieve a high degree of harmony with his spiritual power!

Hehe! Steamed corn bread, four for one yuan!
