Chapter 691: Chapter 489 Return

Eating this golden heart can inherit the entire power of the Undying Sword King?

"Is there really such a bizarre thing?" Li Yi was slightly surprised.

It sounds so wicked.

He stared at the beating golden heart but didn’t dare to swallow it; if his divine bloodline got tainted, it would be a huge loss. Moreover, the power of the Undying Sword King doesn’t greatly enhance him; it would be better to continue cultivating and gathering energy.

However, this golden heart could be kept as a treasure for collection.

"Since you don’t want to eat it, give it to me." Li Yi may not be tempted, but that doesn’t mean others aren’t.

Suddenly.

A venture named Kevin rushed over instantly at this moment, reaching out to grab the golden heart.

He believed that once he consumed this golden heart and inherited the power of the Undying Sword King, nobody here would be his match; even the evil objects in the darkness need not concern him.

The bright future was right in front of him, so how could Kevin willingly miss this opportunity?

However, just as he was about to touch the golden heart.

This coveted treasure suddenly disappeared.

Indeed.

It vanished into thin air just like that.

"How could this be?" Kevin’s eyes widened in shock and doubt.

"I killed the Undying Sword King; the item is my trophy. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t take it." In an instant, Li Yi grabbed his arm, unleashed divine power, and hurled him heavily to the ground.

The ground roared as cracks spread.

Kevin was thrown and felt dizzy, while the formidable force made him spit a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Furthermore, I said if you strike again, I would kill you; don’t think this is a joke." After speaking, Li Yi threw another punch, intertwined with silver lightning and a blast of red aura.

He became completely serious, channeling his body’s mana, transforming it into heart fire qi.

Kevin’s pupils shrank suddenly; he sensed the threat of death and roared loudly, trying all his strength to escape and avoid the deadly blow.

But it was still pointless.

Although he narrowly avoided a critical hit, his chest was still punched.

With a deafening roar echoing.

Kevin’s whole being was knocked into a deep pit, leaving a deep fist mark on his chest armor. Although the armor’s defense blocked most of the force, the punch still penetrated the armor, with half a fist thrust into his chest.

Heart fire qi surged; he seemed aflame, his skin turned red, and smoke poured from his orifices.

"Ah!"

He screamed in agony, his soul seemed to ignite, his flesh scorching visibly.

"Kevin." Lin Ya shouted seeing this scene and rushed over with a battle saber.

Li Yi turned his head slightly, his silver vertical pupils staring at him with a warning: "I’ve already given you the chance. If you dare make a move, I’ll kill you too; don’t test my patience."

He said, slowly standing up.

While allowing the person to struggle and howl into nothingness.

Burned by his heart fire, only a cultivator of the Five Qi Realm could rescue him, and at least the Five Qi Realm Second Layer, who practiced Kidney Water Qi, to extinguish the heart fire.

Lin Ya suddenly halted, gripping the battle saber, wanting to save but hesitated.

If Kevin acted to drive others away, he would strike without hesitation, and other adventurers in the building would support him.

But earlier, Kevin aimed to seize someone else’s trophy. According to the rules of the Dark World, being killed was deserved; not even a reason for revenge.

For those residing in the building, the word "rules" was etched into their bones, to be strictly adhered to, unbroken.

Not only was he silent.

The entire building fell silent, they could accept Kevin fighting Li Yi to death for the building’s safety but couldn’t accept him being killed over snatching the golden heart.

It was truly shameful.

As the screams gradually faded.

Kevin’s body burned into charcoal, and seemingly even his soul withered; with a mere touch, his charred body collapsed, finally turning into a pile of black ash, leaving only a set of enchanting silver armor and a cross great sword. However, these items were now Li Yi’s spoils.

Yet Li Yi wasn’t interested.

He waved his hand, Gang Qi swirling, flinging Kevin’s battle armor and weapon to Lin Ya’s feet.

"I know the rules of this world; the spoils of war must be shared. The weapons and armor on his body will be left in this building; I won’t take them. You can pass them to the next capable adventurer. However, the spoils of the Undying Sword King belong to me. If anyone else wants to challenge me, they are welcome anytime."

Li Yi then put the blood-red armor into the Five Elements Bracelet.

This set of armor and weapons, combined with a gold heart, could create a new Undying Sword King.

After a brief silence, Lin Ya took the weapons and armor left by Kevin after his death, knowing that this was already the best outcome. Moreover, after killing the Undying Sword King, the person in front of him had poured blood into this building, causing the building’s vitality to soar to its peak, even lighting all the lights inside the building.

This means that for a long time, the building is very safe and can shelter the occupants for a long period.

To some extent, Li Yi is considered the hero of this building.

"I can accommodate you in this building, but you cannot stay here. Kevin grew up in this building and protected it many times. Although no one will trouble you now after you killed him, your presence will invite great hatred, which is not conducive to peace here. Moreover, with your strength, you can live well anywhere," Lin Ya continued.

Li Yi said, "I won’t stay here. I will leave after I drop off a group of people here."

"Are more people coming here?" Lin Ya asked in doubt.

"They have already arrived." Li Yi at this moment took out the Purple Gold Gourd, operating this Dao Artifact, releasing all the people inside the gourd.

The gourd suddenly enlarged, and then the lid opened, a cloud of mist sprayed out, and people were sent out of the Purple Gold Gourd by a gentle force. In just a short moment, hundreds of people appeared in the building. These people were survivors from the dark region, now having successfully escaped.

The other people inside the building, witnessing such a miraculous scene, widened their eyes, unable to believe that so many people could fit inside such a small gourd.

When the gourd spat out everyone inside, Li Yi retrieved the Purple Gold Gourd.

"We’ve really arrived in a new building, finally away from that darkness. That’s great."

"This is simply like a dream."

"Where is Wei? Why haven’t we seen Wei? Where did he go?"

The newly appeared survivors began discussing, relieved to be away from the darkness yet realizing their trusted Wei was missing.

"Wei was hit by an evil corpse and fell into the darkness; he didn’t escape with us. But I believe he’ll be okay and will join us soon," Ning Wu explained to everyone, comforting them not to worry.

After all, in their eyes, Wei was the leader.

"So many people?" Lin Ya was momentarily stunned.

Li Yi said, "The number of people living in this building is not many. Adding these hundreds won’t affect it. On the contrary, those who survived in the dark region have substantial strength, staying here will benefit this building, and I will keep my promise and leave for other places."

"When will you leave?" Lin Ya asked.

He didn’t want Li Yi to stay long. This person was too powerful and extremely dangerous, easily attracting the attention of the Evil God, leading to great disaster.

"Now," Li Yi said.

His mission was completed. As for whether Yang Wei was alive or not was not important to him, as he would go to World 36 to settle the score with the original owner.

Without hesitation, he turned and walked out of the building.

Lin Ya found it hard to believe that the person in front of him really left without concern; does he not fear the darkness outside at all?

"Sir, sir..." At this moment, a young man named Sun Fei hurriedly ran over from the crowd, following Li Yi, calling out loudly.

"What’s the matter?" Li Yi stopped in his tracks and looked back.

"Sir, are you leaving again?" Sun Fei said.

Li Yi said, "My task here is done, it’s time to leave. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course, wasn’t that agreed before?" Sun Fei said earnestly.

"Ahead is darkness; following me, you might not even reach the next building. Staying here you can ensure safety," Li Yi said.

Sun Fei said, "If I needed safety, I wouldn’t have taken that train. Sir said you’d take me to see the outside world. I’m ready, even if it means dying on the way forward."

His goal remained unchanged, still firm.

This made Li Yi regard him differently.

"If you’re not afraid of danger and death, come with me," Li Yi did not refuse his companionship but appreciated his courage and determination.

"Thank you, sir," Sun Fei said gratefully.

Watching the two walk out of the building, fellow Evolver Yu Chuan advised, "Li Yi, it’s too dangerous for you to travel alone now. Why not wait, wait for Wei’s return so we can act together then."

"No need. If he dies, would I have to wait here forever?" Li Yi waved his hand, refusing Yu Chuan’s kindness.

Ning Wu also wanted to persuade him, considering he had saved her earlier, but thinking of past conflicts and disagreements, she couldn’t bring herself to speak, only watching him leave.

"Who is cursing me to die? I’m alive and well. But Li, you’re not very loyal; you took off before I got on the train." Yet at this moment, a familiar voice came from the building’s passage.

Yang Wei returned unharmed, holding a treasure sword in one hand and a Hellfire Whip in the other, his body stained with blood, apparently having fought his way here.
