The stillness that enveloped the scene was oppressive, as if even the birds had ceased their songs in reverence to the tragedy that had unfolded. The group of cultivators from the Devil Cloud Sect were now stood frozen in shock, their eyes fixed on the lifeless body of Li Guang.It was Li Feng who finally broke the silence, his voice trembling with a mix of grief and urgency. He had been watching the events unfold, paralyzed by fear, but now that his brother lay dead, he knew he had to act. With a determined gaze, he turned to the others and spoke in a hushed tone."We need to get out of here. That man... he'll kill us all."The other members of Li Guang's group nodded their agreement. They had seen what had happened to Li Guang, and they knew they were no match for Adam's power.Without a second thought, they turned and fled, their bodies moving as fast as they could. They knew that the only way to survive was to get as far away from Adam as possible.As they fled, Li Feng's eyes rem
"What is friend with benefits?" Shu Meiyin was stunned. This was the first time she had heard such a thing.Adam smiled meaningfully. "They're like a sketchy couple. Their relationship is closer than ordinary friends. They can understand each other deeply and complete the process you mentioned earlier. During this period, we don't have to fulfill duties like an official couple. Moreover, if I make a mistake during this period and make you feel that it is not suitable, we can end our relationship at any time."Shu Meiyin carefully thought about it and felt that it was nothing wrong. They were more intimate than ordinary friends, but they did not cross the line and do anything excessive.Shu Meiyin's heart skipped a beat as she gazed at Adam's gentle expression, her eyes drinking in the sight of his handsome features. "Alright," she said, her teeth gritted in a mixture of reluctance and resolve. If this didn't work out, she was prepared to end things. But her heart whispered to her tha
As Shu Liang mentioned the Devil Cloud Sect, Adam's face turned grave. "Let them come. I'll kill them all," he said, his voice firm and determined. He stood tall, his eyes fixed on the horizon, his fists clenched in anticipation.The group was taken aback by Adam's bold declaration, but they were also curious about what made him so confident. On the other hand, Shu Meiyin gazed at Adam with admiration. She knew that his master was incredibly powerful, and she was certain that he had given Adam a special treasure to protect him. Her eyes sparkled with pride as she watched him stand tall.As she smiled, Adam's eyes widened. Her beauty was breathtaking even though he could only see it faintly behind her veil, like the sun breaking through the clouds. His heart skipped a beat as he felt himself drawn to her."Thank you," Shu Meiyin said, her voice soft and gentle, as she accepted the Dragon Rage Sword from Adam.However, she quickly realized that her words might be too formal, given the
Shu Liang frowned as he heard Adam's words, his gaze drifting to Shu Meiyin, who was now crimson-faced. He couldn't help but sighed at the awkwardness of the situation. Shu Meiyin, on the other hand, looked like she was about to burst into flames from embarrassment, her hands fluttering nervously in front of her as Adam's words made it seem like they were already husband and wife.Shu Liang ignored his little sister's embarrassment as he said, "In these ruins, each Sacred Beast guards a different treasure. That Sacred Beast they are fighting over there is guarding a specific plant, a Celestial grade herb called Blood Moon Orchid."Adam's eyes widened in surprise. Blood Moon Orchid was an extremely rare and valuable Celestial grade herb, with immense healing properties. It was said that even a tiny amount of its essence could heal even the gravest wounds.With that knowledge, Adam instantly knew why the group was fighting so fiercely over it. The herb could be the key to their surviva
Adam turned to Chi'er, his brow furrowed with concern. He sent a telepathic message, [Chi'er, who is this man?]A few moments later, Chi'er's voice echoed in Adam's mind. [Young Master, this is Wang Jie. He is the son of Wang San, the head of the prestigious Golden Dragon Academy. Wang Jie has a unique physique called the Extreme Fire Body, and he has already reached the peak stage of the Heaven Transformation realm. His talent is truly exceptional. He can even fight against cultivators stronger than himself. That's why he's so highly respected among the young generation.]Adam nodded slightly as he heard the description. This Wang Jie seemed like a formidable opponent in both talent and appearance.Chi'er's expression grew more serious as she continued, [However, Young Master, there is something you should be aware of. Wang Jie has been pursuing Miss Shu for a long time, but she has always rejected his advances. Miss Shu has made it clear that she will only be with a man who is stron
The group stood rooted to the spot in shock as the Sacred Beast roared once more, causing the ground to tremble.Adam quickly turned to Chi'er. [What is that?]Chi'er's voice was shaky as she replied. [It's a Hellfire Lion. They are terrifying creatures, created by the black flames of the Desolate Abyss. They can control celestial fire, and their strength is known to rival that of a mid-stage Divine Transformation Realm.]Adam nodded calmly, and the Hellfire Lion charged towards them with incredible speed, its powerful claws leaving deep gouges in the ground. Adam watched as Wang Jie, already in a bad mood, became increasingly agitated. Wang Jie pointed his finger angrily at the massive Hellfire Lion and growled, "You beast! You'd better die and quell my rage!"As soon as Wang Jie finished speaking, he slowly drew his sword, the renowned Red Dragon Sword, and prepared to strike. The blade, shimmering with a dangerous glint in the sunlight, was raised high above his head. His eyes nar
Adam's every step was measured and deliberate, his eyes locked onto the sacred beast before him. The Hellfire Lion, having regenerated and bolstered its strength, stood tall and menacing, its fiery gaze fixed on Adam.The onlookers, aware of Wang Jie's extraordinary prowess, were skeptical of Adam's chances. Wang Jie had proven time and again that he was a prodigy, destined for greatness. His Red Dragon Sword was a weapon of immense power, capable of feats few could match. How could this relatively unknown figure hope to compete?However, there was an air of quiet confidence about Adam that was hard to ignore. Shu Meiyin, standing to the side, watched intently, her eyes filled with admiration. Her apparent preference for Adam had already stirred curiosity and speculation among the crowd.As for Wang Jie, he naturally didn't believe that Adam could defeat the Hellfire Lion. The beast possessed a passive skill that granted it an extraordinarily strong recovery effect. Even the Red Drago
Wang Jie was growing increasingly agitated and embarrassed. He felt the urge to spit out a mouthful of blood. Originally, he had hoped to witness Adam make a fool of himself, but now the tables had turned, and he was the one who was the butt of the joke.Murderous intent had already begun to stir within his heart. If he was confident he could defeat Adam, he would have attacked him long ago without hesitation. However, the knowledge that he was no match for Adam's strength held him back.On the other hand, Adam seized the opportunity to showcase his impressive abilities. With a light touch of his right hand, he effortlessly summoned the treasure guarded by the Hellfire Lion, the Ancient Holy Pearl, causing it to swiftly fly towards him."Isn't that the Ancient Holy Pearl?" the onlookers exclaimed in awe.Seeing the precious pearl, everyone's eyes gleamed with greed. They couldn't help but cast envious glances at Adam as he grasped the coveted treasure in his hand.With the Ancient Hol
