Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Lin Yaoxie had never imagined that he would have any contact with other humans, because he thought he had entered a barbaric wilderness, in the ancient wilderness.

It is still unknown what kind of things exist, but after meeting Zhao Jiuge, Lin Yaoxie realized in despair that his previous ideas had been completely erased, and what he should be trying to do now had become even more outrageous.

So after telling everything he knew that Zhao Jiuge was curious about, Zhao Jiuge clearly lost interest in Lin Yaoxie as before and was ready to leave. Lin Yaoxie, on the other hand, was very curious about the current human world.

Of course, the main reason was that Lin Yaoxie wanted to see what human towns in this world were really like, and whether they could be as he had imagined. Otherwise, Lin Yaoxie probably would never know what kind of changes he should make in his future.

Moreover, Lin Yaoxie was very curious about what level his current strength was among humans, whether it was strong or weak.

"If possible, could you take me to a human town? To be honest, I've never been to a human town like the ones in your country before. I'd like to see what it's like."

Despite being interrupted by Lin Yaoxie time and again, Zhao Jiuge didn't think Lin Yaoxie's actions were particularly despicable. Perhaps people like them wouldn't suspect Lin Yaoxie of having any other schemes when they saw him as an ordinary martial artist.

It's just that Lin Yaoxie hasn't experienced these things at all, so he doesn't understand them. But Lin Yaoxie actually has a lot of thoughts deep down. So far, although there are maps to help Lin Yaoxie find some dangerous places in this dangerous area, there are still monsters like the one that appeared before.

Lin Yaoxie was merely passing by by chance when he was discovered by the other party. Moreover, after he simply uprooted one of the other party's large 187 trees, the guy acted as if Lin Yaoxie had an irreconcilable feud with him, frantically searching for Lin Yaoxie's location.

If Zhao Jiuge hadn't appeared and helped Lin Yaoxie kill that monster, then if Lin Yaoxie's guess is correct, if he had continued to live here, he would definitely have been hunted down by the monster again, and the consequences would have been dire.

We're currently only in the process of thinking things through, and as for what the truth is, Lin Yaoxie probably doesn't yet have a clear objective to bring about change.

Chapter 215: Falling Short

After all, strength is something that always depends on one's own progress. Sometimes relying on others, or even relying too much on the system, can even wear down Lin Yaoxie's ambition. This is not farming, but leveling up and training.

After temporarily clearing his mind of all distracting thoughts, Lin Yaoxie looked at Zhao Jiuge and saw the confusion in her eyes. He subconsciously took a step back, even though he still had one more random teleport from the system.

However, Lin Yaoxie did not intend to use up this chance, because if he used up his chance to escape here, he would never be able to escape when he encountered the dragon and phoenix again in the future.

"Actually, I'm very curious. You only have the strength of the Innate Realm, so why do you dare to live in this forest? You should know that this forest is very dangerous. Even someone of my level wouldn't dare to stay here for a long time."

When Lin Yaoxie saw the doubt and even confusion on Zhao Jiuge's handsome face as he stared intently at him, Lin Yaoxie instantly broke out in a cold sweat. To be honest, he really didn't expect Zhao Jiuge to say such a thing. Lin Yaoxie had always thought he had some strength.

However, strength wasn't as useful in this world as one might imagine. So from that moment on, Lin Yaoxie decided to be careful in everything he did and never act impulsively. But the look of doubt on Zhao Jiuge's face made Lin Yaoxie a little scared.

If Lin Yaoxie hadn't witnessed Zhao Jiuge unleash his immense power and instantly annihilate that terrifying monster, things might not have turned out this way.

But after learning just how monstrous the power Zhao Jiuge had displayed was, Lin Yaoxie was so frightened that his throat was constantly bobbing. Zhao Jiuge looked at Lin Yaoxie, who was shivering with coldness, and walked towards him step by step.

When Zhao Jiuge came to stand in front of him, he suddenly raised the long sword in his hand. Lin Yaoxie saw that there was no blood on the sword, and he knew that it was definitely a divine weapon. The monster was so huge and its skin was so tough.

The weapon in Zhao Jiuge's hand was sliced ​​off as easily as tofu, and after the slice, a torrent of blood gushed out, yet there was not a single mark on Zhao Jiuge's weapon.

"Maybe I'm just lucky."

Lin Yaoxie had no other choice but to express his thoughts, which were actually his deepest desires, because he knew that in (Zhao Deqian's) world, things had to be reconciled.

It was far more terrifying than he had imagined, even though the system was constantly helping him.

However, the system's help was not as useful as I had imagined. It only provided me with some improvements in certain areas, but these improvements were not of any significant quality.

Of course, he has the skill, but he hasn't fully demonstrated it in many other aspects yet, based on what Lin Yaoxie has seen so far.

Chapter 216 That's true

That's only what he saw; there's definitely much more that hasn't been revealed.

"luck?"

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie was just giving him a perfunctory answer, Zhao Jiuge gave a cold laugh. As the expression on Zhao Jiuge's face gradually turned cold, Lin Yaoxie knew that Zhao Jiuge would definitely not believe his nonsense. However, then...

Just when Lin Yaoxie thought that Zhao Jiuge would use the long sword in his hand to pierce his hypocritical face, to Lin Yaoxie's surprise, Zhao Jiuge actually put his weapon away.

"I must say, you are really lucky to have survived in such a forbidden place for humans, the terrifying forest. 187 I must say, you are really lucky, but I think you should try to leave here. This is not a place for someone of your innate realm."

Watching Zhao Jiuge put away her weapon, turn around, and walk away from him step by step, Lin Yaoxie was completely bewildered. He didn't know Zhao...

What was Jiu Ge thinking? No one knew why Zhao Jiu Ge suddenly put his weapon away.

Just as Lin Yaoxie followed Zhao Jiuge with doubt, Zhao Jiuge turned around and looked at Lin Yaoxie coldly, still with that aloof and icy demeanor.

Why are you following me?

Looking at Zhao Jiuge's unapproachable demeanor and his cold, iron-like appearance, Lin Yaoxie wore a smile. He knew that if he wanted to leave this place, the only way was through the system's random teleportation. However, the previous two random teleportations had been incredibly frustrating, sending him to completely unfamiliar and dangerous areas that were beyond his imagination.

"To be honest, this terrifying forest is extremely dangerous. I don't know where I'll end up, but if I don't come with you now, I simply won't be able to survive in this forest with my current Innate Realm strength, let alone return to a human town. What do you think?"

In order to keep his only trump card in the system space and not use it, Lin Yaoxie is now acting like a sycophant. In fact, Lin Yaoxie thinks that things like face are not important. What matters is that he is safe and sound.

However, Lin Yaoxie did obtain some useful information during his conversation with Zhao Jiuge, namely about this place—this terrifying, seemingly endless forest.

It's like a forbidden zone, a terrifying forest.

Although such information is of little use to Lin Yaoxie at the moment, knowing the name of this place is still of some value.

Lin Yaoxie also found a place to leave. Moreover, he felt that although Zhao Jiuge seemed cold, for some reason, based on what Zhao Jiuge had said before, Lin Yaoxie felt that this guy was a warm-hearted person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

If Zhao Jiuge were truly an ethereal being, then when Lin Yaoxie was being chased by that monster, Zhao Jiuge certainly wouldn't have helped him. Instead, he would have used the simplest and most direct method: ambushing him while the monster was attacking. However, he disdained to do that.

Chapter 217 Decisive Departure

Looking at the smile plastered on Lin Yaoxie's face, Zhao Jiuge knew exactly what Lin Yaoxie meant: he wanted him to act as a bodyguard so that he could take him out of the forest and back to the human town.

"If you want to leave this place, head to the left. That way you can get out of this forest quickly, but you might also encounter other predators."

He had initially felt some goodwill towards Lin Yaoxie, but now that he saw Lin Yaoxie trying to take advantage of him, Zhao Jiuge, though not angry, had a cold expression on his face. He had no intention of wasting any more time with Lin Yaoxie and left after saying that.

Seeing that Zhao Jiuge seemed to have seen through her scheme and wanted to use her to get her out of this terrifying forest and away from her, she wondered if Zhao Jiuge had seen through her plot.

Lin Yaoxie stood there somewhat embarrassed, but then quickly put away his smiling face. To be honest, if he could, Lin Yaoxie wouldn't want to ask such a person for help, because in Lin Yaoxie's opinion, the sycophantic behavior was truly ridiculous.

Lin Yaoxie is destined to become a strongman in this world because he possesses the system, a cheat code. Although the system has not provided him with much power to advance his realm so far, his current strength is far from enough to truly face powerful enemies in this world without being threatened.

"It seems that my current strength is far from enough to become a strong person. I must cheer up again. Lin Yaoxie, keep going! You will definitely be able to gain a place in this world."

After cheering himself up, Lin Yaoxie stopped wasting time, took a deep breath, and headed in the direction Zhao Jiuge had mentioned. Actually, Lin Yaoxie had never been there before, but he felt there was no need to deceive himself, after all.

If someone as powerful as Zhao Jiuge wanted to kill him, they could simply slit his throat with a single sword strike. There was no need to waste time talking to the two of them about these schemes and tricks. What else would that be but a waste of time?

As Lin Yaoxie continued in the direction Zhao Jiuge had told him, Zhao Jiuge was now in another area of ​​the terrifying forest, a place Lin Yaoxie had not explored before.

At this moment, after separating from Lin Yaoxie, Zhao Jiuge arrived at a patch of soil that was similar to blood-red land. This place was still in the environment of the terrifying forest, but it gave people a very terrifying feeling, and there were insects and birds chirping all around.

... 0

It was as if he had completely disappeared in an instant, as if he had simultaneously arrived in an unknown world. Zhao Jiuge stood here seemingly unafraid, and appeared to be very familiar with this place. He raised his head, glanced at the sky, and then said a sentence.

"I, the Demon Rat King, have come as promised. Stop hiding and get out here now, or you can forget about getting the Heavenly Snow Lotus."

After Zhao Jiuge uttered those words, the entire blood-red soil and the surrounding trees all perished.

Chapter 218 Not Perfect

Suddenly, a huge change occurred, as if a gust of wind had swept in from afar, causing all the trees in the forest to rustle. If Lin Yaoxie were here...

Hearing this sound would definitely be very unpleasant, because it sounds like the laughter of dozens of terrifying rats coming together—it's absolutely horrifying.

Just as the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, a tiny figure jumped down from one of the big trees. The speed was incredibly fast, much faster than the speed Lin Yaoxie had shown. This strange creature looked like a rat, but it was much larger than a rat and resembled an upright-walking orc.

After landing, the terrifying monster maintained a distance between itself and Zhao Jiuge, a distance it considered safe. Then, looking at Zhao Jiuge's calm, seemingly otherworldly appearance, it couldn't help but let out a terrifying sound.

"I didn't expect you to actually come as promised. It's quite a surprise. I thought you were just a coward who didn't dare to come see me. So, did you bring the Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

Zhao Jiuge didn't say much when he saw the Demon Rat King looking down on him like that. Then, he flipped his right hand, and a blue lotus flower, even with ice and snow on it, appeared in his palm. The Demon Rat King looked at the lotus flower in Zhao Jiuge's hand.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he even drooled from his own gaping maw. Of course, the monster Rat King's mouth could not actually be called a gaping maw, but the densely packed, sharp teeth in his open mouth when he smiled were terrifying.

Seeing how disgusting the Demon Rat King was, Zhao Jiuge didn't seem surprised, because he had seen the Demon Rat King many times. When he saw the expression on the Demon Rat King's face as it looked at him, he casually flipped his hand and put the Heavenly Snow Lotus into his spatial ring. Then he walked towards the Demon Rat King step by step.

"I've brought your things as agreed. Where are yours?"

Zhao Jiuge's tone remained consistently calm, almost unchanged from when she met Lin Yaoxie previously. The Demon Rat King, seeing that Zhao Jiuge had indeed brought the Heavenly Snow Lotus, smiled slightly. However, upon looking at the Demon Rat King…

Having already seen what he held in his hand, Zhao Jiuge had to inspect the goods. He then sheathed the longsword, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked every bit the peerless sword immortal.

It has to be said that Zhao Jiuge is truly perfect, because not only is he extremely powerful, but he is also very handsome. In addition, the 5.5 weapon he uses is a huge plus.

The Rat King didn't seem surprised by Zhao Jiuge's words. He chuckled and reached his hand out from behind his back. When Zhao Jiuge saw the beating heart in the Rat King's hand, his expression turned extremely serious.

Chapter 219 Returns

After seeing what Zhao Jiuge had already seen, the Rat King put the item back behind him.

"Of course I'm not one to break my promises. You humans are very cunning, so I always have to keep something in mind, right?"

If Lin Yaoxie were here, he would definitely find it very strange, because in theory, a person cannot live without a heart.

If a person has no heart, they are surely not far from death. However, the conversation between Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King is so strange. If the heart in the Demon Rat King's hand is really Zhao Jiuge, then why hasn't Zhao Jiuge died if he has no heart?

"Since that's the case, we've both brought our things. So, as agreed, I'll give you this heart, and you'll give me the Tian Shan Snow Lotus. We'll then leave each other alone and not interfere with each other's affairs, how about that?"

The Rat King seemed unwilling to argue with Zhao Jiuge, and seeing that Zhao Jiuge remained silent, as if waiting for him to speak first, the Rat King was furious but helpless. After hearing what the Rat King said...

Zhao Jiuge had no questions and walked towards the Demon Rat King. When the Demon Rat King saw Zhao Jiuge walking towards him without any hesitation, he hesitated for a moment, but then took out his heart and walked towards Zhao Jiuge.

Although the two individuals came from different races—one human and the other a monster—their movements were now remarkably synchronized.

"Right on my mind."

Just as Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King were approaching each other, the previously silent, blood-red disciple suddenly stirred up a storm and headed towards them. Upon sensing this movement, Zhao Jiuge immediately frowned.

He then put the Tianshan Snow Lotus back into his spatial ring, grabbed his longsword, and leaped fiercely towards the Demon Rat King. In the instant the Demon Rat King looked at Zhao Jiuge, he suddenly put the things he had prepared into his spatial ring, and most importantly, Zhao Jiuge himself...

The attack came at him, scaring him half to death. But after quickly reacting and dodging Zhao Jiuge's attack, he glared at Zhao Jiuge with a furious expression that suggested he wanted to devour her whole.

"You despicable bastard, you actually went back on your word. In that case, you can forget about getting this heart."

Seeing that the Rat King had dodged his sneak attack, Zhao Jiuge's brows remained furrowed. However, he did not hesitate and launched another attack on the Rat King at a speed of 190. He had actually considered what would happen if his sneak attack failed.

He launched attack after attack, giving the Demon Rat King no chance to breathe. However, he also knew that the Demon Rat King was very clever and was considered one of the most powerful monsters. If Zhao Jiuge wanted to forcefully display his power now...

Leaving the Rat King here is actually very impractical, but he absolutely doesn't want to waste time because he knows that hesitation leads to defeat, and if too much time is wasted, his subsequent plans will be completely impossible to implement.

Chapter 220 Uninvited Guest

However, while Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King were fighting, the Demon Rat King, unable to draw his weapon, was suppressed by Zhao Jiuge. Enraged, he forcefully unleashed his own energy to form a barrier, finally managing to leap behind a withered branch.

He took out his scythe from the thicket of weeds, which was his weapon. After taking out this weapon, the Rat King looked at Zhao Jiuge and saw that he had broken the barrier he had previously formed and continued to attack him. The Rat King was furious.

"I knew you humans were unreliable. Luckily, I had planned ahead and had my weapons ready. Otherwise, without weapons, my fighting strength would be rapidly reduced if I wanted to fight you two. But now that you don't have a heart, let's see how you fight me."

As if he had anticipated Zhao Jiuge's deception, the Demon Rat King wasted no more time. He took his scythe and slashed it fiercely forward. Instantly, a gust of cold wind swept in. Zhao Jiuge was changing, but when this gust of cold wind came, nothing happened.

After taking a small hop and moving two steps to the left, Zhao Jiuge landed on a large rock. The breeze blew his long, flowing hair, making him look very dashing. Then, just as Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King were about to clash, Zhao Jiuge...

What puzzled both Zhao Jiuge and the Demon Rat King was a strange voice that rang out to their left. When they both looked over at the same time, they saw a handsome young man emerge from a clump of weeds.

Perhaps because this route was very unfamiliar to the young man, he spat out the weeds that had been blown into his mouth by the wind when he came out before the New Year.
