Fang Xin flashed over from a distance.
He grabbed the Baseball Cap Girl's arm.
The Baseball Cap Girl's body trembled, startled by the sudden turn of events.
When she turned her head and saw it was Fang Xin, she was first stunned, then her brows furrowed.
The young man at the flower shop entrance watched Fang Xin with a half-smile.
The Baseball Cap Girl's face was cold, her brows furrowed, and just as she was about to speak, Fang Xin smiled apologetically at the young man.
"Sorry, big brother, this is my sister. When she was little, she hit her head while playing, so her mind isn't quite right. She can't remember who anyone is, not even her own family. Sometimes she sees strangers and thinks she knows them and starts chatting. I'm really sorry, big brother!"
As he spoke, Fang Xin dragged the Baseball Cap Girl away.
"Let go of me!" the Baseball Cap Girl snapped angrily.
Fang Xin clicked his tongue, "You child, how can you talk to your brother like that? Don't bother strangers randomly!"
"I don't know you! Let go of me!"
Without another word, Fang Xin picked up the Baseball Cap Girl and ran.
"Let go of me!" the Baseball Cap Girl snapped angrily.
"Wait!" the young man's voice suddenly came from behind.
Fang Xin ignored him, sprinting wildly. A quick glance revealed that one of the young man's hands was covered in a crimson glow, and the clothes on his lower back were wriggling and bulging, as if something was about to emerge.
After the Baseball Cap Girl saw the young man covered in a crimson glow, her emotions fluctuated greatly for the first time. "King of Slaughter! It's the King of Slaughter! Put me down, or the King of Slaughter will kill you!"
Fang Xin accelerated to his fastest speed, turning his head to look at the young man as he ran. He saw a huge bulge on the young man's lower back where his clothes were, and tentacles were already emerging from it.
He was instantly startled, clenching his buttocks.
The Baseball Cap Girl struggled for a bit, only then realizing that the person carrying her was a Strength-based Mangfu. Her meager strength was no match for his arms.
"Didn't you say before that if you met the King of Slaughter, you'd make him kneel to you?"
He cursed under his breath, "He's no King of Slaughter!"
The young man's voice was heavily accented, pausing as he spoke to Fang Xin, "Hey! I said! Let you! Wait a moment!"
Fang Xin darted about, and when he looked back, he saw four huge tentacles extending from the young man's back, swaying behind him like four tails. "Wait for your grandpa! You pervert! Eat shit!"
The young man raised his hand, pointing it directly at Fang Xin's back. "How rude! In the name of the King of Slaughter, I sentence you to death!"
Seeing this, the Baseball Cap Girl quickly said, "King of Slaughter, I am..."
Fang Xin's pupils constricted. He immediately shifted her from his shoulder to under his arm, covering the Baseball Cap Girl's mouth with one hand.
Looking up, he ran while shouting with all his might towards the sky, "Oh my god! My life is in danger! Big brother!!! Save me!!!"
His shout was so loud that many people looked in their direction.
The killing intent in the young man's eyes behind him surged like a tide, and the four tentacles behind him shot towards Fang Xin.
The Baseball Cap Girl struggled, looking at the young man, her mouth covered by Fang Xin, only able to make muffled sounds. From the sound, it seemed she was telling the fake King of Slaughter to run quickly.
Just as the four tentacles were about to impale Fang Xin, at the critical moment, space froze.
The four tentacles were suspended in mid-air.
A figure stood in mid-air at some unknown point, dressed in a uniform, hands in his pockets, his white hair swaying slightly in the wind.
"So this is the King of Slaughter!" Zhuge Heng observed the young man.
Crimson runes appeared on the young man's four tentacles, quickly retracting backward.
Two tentacles propped him on the ground, lifting his body.
The other two tentacles swayed behind him.
The young man looked at Zhuge Heng, a smile appearing on his face.
"I heard you're very strong! And that you're the only prodigy in the last thirty years to approach godhood!"
Zhuge Heng bared his small white teeth, revealing his signature smile, "Wrong! Not approaching, but surpassing!"
The young man let out a cold snicker from his throat, the corners of his mouth curving up like a Nike swoosh, his tone full of mockery.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to taste your fresh blood! See if it's the same as a god's blood!" The young man licked his lips with his crimson tongue.
The middle-aged man from the church, wielding a broadsword with a cross, was enveloped in golden light, rapidly approaching.
He was completely enshrouded in golden light, suspended in mid-air like a small sun.
People continuously gathered in their direction.
Shang Tianque was among them. When he saw Fang Xin running wildly with the Baseball Cap Girl tucked under his arm, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Holy crap! This young man, holy crap! Damn, I thought this kid was going to be a simp, but I didn't expect him to just take her by force? Who pursues a girl like that? Won't this girl from the Beast Taming Lodge chop this kid up later? I need to find an opportunity to teach this kid how to win a girl's heart!"
The representatives of various factions either flew in mid-air, floated with the help of treasures, or rode flying beasts in the sky.
They surrounded the fake King of Slaughter in three dense layers.
The young man showed no sign of panic. Instead, he calmly took out a thick scripture from his spatial ring, opened it, and held it with both hands.
His gaze swept over everyone below. The young man scrutinized everyone from above, reciting aloud:
"The merciful heavens bestow light, but the lowly ants madly rush into darkness!
The furious heavens bestow darkness, yet the lowly ants again yearn for light!
The heavens turn the wheel of epochs, inscribing the annals of catastrophe.
When the death knell of imperial civilization sounds from distant halls!
Ancient divine kings shall ignite the beacon fires across the vast land!
Eternal Night Descends! Light is no more!
The Head of the Seven Kings draws his butcher's knife!
Slicing the shackles of civilized order!
And plants Lycoris radiata throughout the human world!"
Clap!
The young man closed the thick scripture.
His eyes had already turned crimson.
The young man crossed his hands over his chest, looked up at the sky, his expression devout, muttering.
"I shall uphold the will of slaughter!
And plant Lycoris radiata throughout the human world!"
Crimson runes flickered on the tentacles behind the young man. His forehead veins bulged, and he fell into a state of frenzy, staring at Zhuge Heng.
"Today's first Lycoris radiata, I shall plant in your chest, staining the entire city red!"
Zhuge Heng observed the young man, "Is your skill wind-up time really that long?"
The young man laughed maniacally, taking out a mask from his spatial ring and putting it on his face.
Zhuge Heng wore a strange smile, "Give up, Ah Zu, we have people everywhere outside!"
The young man raised his crimson-shrouded hand, pointing it directly at Zhuge Heng.
"Despising the heavens! In the name of the King of Slaughter, I sentence you to death!"
The crimson hand pressed down through the air. Two tentacles ignored the spatial distance and were already in front of Zhuge Heng, but before Zhuge Heng, the two tentacles inexplicably moved around him, not even touching his clothes.
Bai Mao Zai still had his hands in his pockets, calmly responding.
Fang Xin watched Bai Mao Zai from a distance.
He had now released the Baseball Cap Girl.
The Baseball Cap Girl saw the fake King of Slaughter surrounded by so many people, then glared hatefully at Fang Xin.
"Are you sick? Do you think it was cool to save me from the King of Slaughter? What was that? A hero saving the beauty? Are you perhaps a bit too self-important?"
"He's not the King of Slaughter!"
The Baseball Cap Girl's face was cold, her teeth clenched, feeling her plan had been ruined. Hearing Fang Xin's words, she immediately retorted hatefully.
"If he's not, then are you?"
