Excessive ferocity due to caution

Seeing Zhao Yi sink into the silence of death, Yun Fang was stunned.

She did not witness the birth of Zhao Yi's new self.

So... Zhao Yi is dead?

Did something go wrong when severing causality?

Yunfang's heart pounded violently, and despair spread through her.

If even a monster like Zhao Yi can't kill me, what are her chances of succeeding?

Ka—

The shield wall formed by the setting sun ring began to slowly crack.

Yunfang indeed could not sense any life force from Zhao Yi's body. After a brief and careful examination, she determined that Zhao Yi must have died because something went wrong when he severed the causal link.

Now that Zhao Yi is dead, there is no need for her to continue wasting her time here.

Although the outcome was cruel, she had to plan ahead to minimize her losses.

Yunfang gathered all her divine power and fused it into the golden ring. The power of the laws surged like a tide, repelling the terrifying impact that overflowed from the crack in the door!

But she did not choose to continue, and then put away the sunset ring and calmly left.

As she left, she grabbed Zhao Yi's body and escaped from there!

But in this world, the two of them had nowhere to escape. All around them was fog, and they could only barely get away from the red lacquered wooden door.

As for the Chaotic Realm, inside the Tianwang Hotel, Yunfang also sensed that Zhao Yi's body had completely lost its vitality.

In both worlds, Zhao Yi was utterly dead.

Her mind was incredibly complicated, her thoughts were in turmoil, and she kept debating whether she should take that step like Zhao Yi and risk everything.

Yunfang is no ordinary person. She has experienced countless storms. Although she is timid and cowardly by nature, she knows to force herself to calm down in critical moments, which may allow her to find a glimmer of hope.

Deep within the mist, the red-lacquered wooden door did not follow.

It seemed to be frozen in that place.

But what truly made Yunfang notice the abnormality of the red lacquered wooden door again was that the black, rotting arms suddenly stopped struggling and seemed to be trying their best to stop something, constantly trying to close the red lacquered wooden door that was only slightly open!

bang bang bang!

The sounds of frantic struggling could be heard coming from inside.

The movements were exactly the same as when these unknown creatures tried to come out before, but unlike before, Yunfang could tell from the arms pawing at the wooden door that... this time, they wanted to retreat!

What happened?

Yunfang was stunned.

What happened inside?

She was very curious, but she didn't notice anything unusual in anything she looked at.

"Awooo—"

The terrifying roar resounded once again, deafeningly loud!

This time, Yunfang detected a hint of fear in her voice.

"Strange...are they afraid?"

Yunfang found it hard to believe.

She tentatively tried to get closer, putting down the body of Zhao Yi that she was carrying, but at that moment Yunfang's body suddenly stiffened.

Because she finally discovered something very subtle—

That is... Zhao Yi died too cleanly!

Almost nothing was left except for this body; it was completely clean.

Staring blankly at Zhao Yi's corpse, Yun Fang suddenly remembered Zhao Yi's earlier attempt to refine the ominous aura. She looked up and carefully examined the red-lacquered wooden door until she finally saw something—

as predicted!

Among those frantically struggling, rotting black arms... there was a pair that didn't fit in!

While others were pulling doors, it was pushing them!

Those arms were also emanating a strong ominous aura, making them indistinguishable from the other black arms.

"Is it him...?"

Only now did Yunfang finally understand why Zhao Yi had incorporated the ominous aura into his refinement of her soul and karma...

Originally, I thought Zhao Yi's idea and action of refining the ominous aura was crazy enough!

But now, Yunfang realizes that she still underestimated Zhao Yi!

This madman... wants to use the fusion of the 'New Self' and the ominous aura to infiltrate those arms, thus catching the opponent off guard!

Those arms were clearly severely restricted, making it extremely difficult to pull or push the door!

But Zhao Yi is different!

He was completely unrestrained!

Thus, amidst the frantic struggle between the two sides, Zhao Yi successfully pushed open the red lacquered wooden door little by little, amidst the desperate cries of those black arms!

Finally, one of the black, rotting arms couldn't hold on any longer. It quickly withdrew its hand, ceasing its struggle with Zhao Yi. For some reason, it didn't attack Zhao Yi but instead disappeared behind the door, fleeing for its life...

Once you have the first one, you'll naturally have the second, the third...

As fewer and fewer black arms remained holding the wooden door in place, Zhao Yi's strength began to gain an overwhelming advantage. Amidst extremely noisy and ear-piercing creaking sounds, the red lacquered wooden door was slowly pushed open!

Although the speed was extremely slow and the sound was extremely unpleasant, it was like a gear that had been running for many years and would break apart with every friction due to the lack of lubricant!

A large amount of ominous energy poured out from inside the door, containing that black, viscous liquid. Yun Fang had to quickly retreat to a greater distance again and use the power of the law to protect herself!

Although the power of laws has a very limited effect on the ominous aura, it is better to have it than not.

"Didn't those black arms try to push the wooden door open earlier? Why did they become afraid when Zhao first pushed it open?"

Yunfang had some doubts and carefully observed the wooden door.

As Zhao Yi slowly pushed open the red lacquered wooden door, Yun Fang was shocked to see a long, dark road behind it that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The road was filled with a thick, ominous atmosphere, and no one knew where it led.

Even just a glance from afar, Yunfang could clearly sense the danger of that road!

Of course, what truly terrified her at that moment was not just the road, but more so the inside of that red lacquered wooden door!

Countless people were crammed into that small door!

Their flesh and blood were twisted together, as if they were stuck in a quagmire and could not extricate themselves.

Occasionally, an arm would emerge from inside—a black, rotting arm—along with an upper body covered in a thick, black liquid.

They howled venomously and frantically, but were quickly dragged into the world on the door and disappeared.

Hearing the howls around her, Yunfang felt her legs trembling.

How many people are squeezed through that door?

several thousand?

Tens of thousands?

Or... more?

Zhao Yi stood on the road behind the door. When they met again, his aura had changed drastically. He was reborn and was more unrestrained than before!

Her appearance hasn't changed much.

Zhao Yi retained the same face as number 6, still possessing a handsome appearance with a touch of effeminacy and wickedness.

"What exactly are those arms?"

Yunfang asked Zhao Yi in a trembling voice.

The latter said calmly:

"loser."
