"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Sitting at the desk, Ji Xian said worriedly.

Since morning, she had been in the office after being escorted by Lin Tian, ??there was a pile of company work, but she couldn't focus at all.

She also called Lin Tian several times, but his cell phone was off.

"He said he was going to Tianhai city, I better go see him." Ji Xian closed her laptop and immediately left her room.

"Cough!" Lin Tian fell to the ground and lay helpless, there were dozens of sword stab marks all over his body.

His blood was dripping and his expression was full of disbelief.

He was a great villain, to be in a situation like this?!

He didn't want to accept, but Zhong Kui's strength had spoken, he was just a Transcendent realm cultivator, but his enemy was at the peak-level golden core.

He didn't want to believe this either, but the system's words were never wrong.

"In addition to bringing good things, you also have this." Zhong Kui said with a grin as he held Lin Tian's necklace.

Seeing this, Lin Tian's eyes narrowed and his hopes were dashed, It was the death God necklace that could bring him to life once again.

But it was held by Zhong Kui, his hopes were completely gone now.

Meanwhile, Zhong Kui looked at the necklace with a strange look, it seemed that he was remembering the past.

"Death god necklace, I still remember that the emperor had this, I didn't expect to get it here." Zhong Kui said with a smirk.

Zhong Kui looked at the necklace for a while, and at this time the necklace suddenly disappeared.

"Now is the time to deal with you." Zhong Kui said with a smirk as he looked at Lin Tian who was still lying on the ground.

Stab!

Zhong Kui waved his hand from behind, and a stabbing sound was heard.

"Cough!" Gu Yixian's eyes widened, 3 sharp objects made of dark energy pierced her body from her legs, chest, and shoulders.

She had defeated the 7 dark creatures and had been observing Lin Tian from earlier.

She was shocked when she saw Lin Tian lose to Zhong Kui, even her heart ached when she saw Lin Tian was so badly injured.

She certainly didn't stand still, she planned to wait for Zhong Kui to let his guard down and attack him secretly.

But her efforts were in vain, before she even launched her action, she was already attacked by Zhong Kui first.

She felt a deep pain in her body, Zhong Kui's dark energy felt strange, it was different from ordinary sharp objects.

"I don't want any small faults, including ants like you. If you want to see me off guard, you have to fight me when I was 5 years old." Zhong Kui turned around and said with a grin as he looked at Gu Yixian.

"L-let go of Lin Tian." Gu Yixian said with difficulty, that she endured the deep pain in her heart that had been pierced.

"Tsk tsk, you almost died, but you still care about this brat, what a true love," Zhong Kui said as he shook his head.

"Let him go." Gu Yixian didn't give up, she said while enduring the pain.

"Shut up." Zhong Kui said coldly as he waved his hand, and a sword shot out of the darkness and stabbed Gu Yixian in the chest causing her to bounce back against the wall.

Bang!

Gu Yixian hit the wall and a dark sword pierced her heart.

Her expression was inexplicable, there was sadness and despair at the same time.

Tears slowly fell from her eyes, and in the end, her eyes closed.

"Poor ant, you're actually quite useful, but your attitude reminds me of someone." Zhong Kui said coldly.

Then he turned around and walked toward Lin Tian with a grinning expression.

Lin Tian's eyes trembled and there was intense anger within him, he was still conscious from earlier and saw the scene of Gu Yixian saying to let him go.

He even saw the scene where Gu Yixian was bounced back and there was a long sword stuck in her chest.

Especially seeing her closing her eyes, doesn't that mean she's... Dead?!

He really wanted to kill Zhong Kui, but his strength didn't allow it. He even asked the system, but there was no response from the system.

There's no way the system left him right? There's no way he's dead right?!

Lin Tian screamed in his heart wishing for plot armor to come, but who was he? He is a villain.

Without him noticing, Zhong Kui crouched down while looking at him.

"How do you feel when things don't go your way? Imagine, you always get what you want, everything you plan works out, and what you prepare really happens. But how would you feel if all that disappeared? Things didn't happen the way you wanted. Are you feeling angry? Frustration? Blaming God?" Zhong Kui said provocatively.

Hearing Zhong Kui's words, Lin Tian's eyes trembled, his anger was so great and he really wanted to kill Zhong Kui.

His aura slowly rose and the pupils of his eyes disappeared and were only white.

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and slowly got up, he ignored the deep pain.

Bang!

But he immediately fell and hit the ground once again.

"Want to rise up and become stronger? It's not that easy." Zhong Kui said with a smirk.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you so easily, I have a million ways to keep you alive." Zhong Kui added.

After that, Zhong Kui touched Lin Tian's forehead with his index finger, and the next second...

Crack!

Lin Tian's head looked cracked, but it didn't bleed.

"You will sleep for some time, don't worry, just when you open your eyes, you will become stronger, of course you will also become my slave." Zhong Kui said with a grin.

Lin Tian didn't even hear Zhong Kui's words, he closed his eyes and only saw darkness.
