Death Comes

There was nothing to say about this annihilation.

Lu Benwei could tell with one glance that this ancestor was no good for eighteen generations, specializing in sacrificing living people to improve his own strength.

Of course.

What irritated Lu Benwei the most was that the appearance of this group had ruined his mood, making the coins he had saved for half a year go to waste.

He left in spiritual decline.

It looked like in the long, long night ahead, his only companions would continue to be the dogs.

"Sir, please...please wait!"

Seeing that Lu Benwei was about to leave, Su Yunyun hesitated for a moment before calling out.

Lu Benwei looked back at her.

"Thank you for saving my life, Sir. I was very rude to you before, and I apologize. "

Su Yunyun bowed to Lu Benwei and spoke sincerely.

She then continued, "But as you heard that man say earlier, Chen Yizhen will likely send someone after me again. So I'd like to ask you to please not leave for now, if you could...protect me for two days..."

Su Yunyun lowered her head and steeled herself to make this request.

After all, she knew clearly in her heart.

If Chen Yizhen really sent someone to kill her again, with her own strength, she would have no way to resist. Her only option would be death.

So now she had no choice but to implore Lu Benwei for protection.

"Protect you?"

"Humph. Weren't you saying over and over that you didn't need protection from this trash?" Lu Benwei questioned.

Hearing this.

Su Yunyun's expression was ugly.

Her face flushed red all the way down to her neck, and she felt a searing pain.

That's right.

She had looked down on Lu Benwei before, and had tried to drive him away. Now she was asking him to come back. Why would he agree?

"I'm sorry, Sir. I was blind before."

But Su Yunyun was unwilling to give up. She gritted her teeth and apologized again, continuing, "But still, I implore you to forget past grievances and agree to my request."

"This trash has no time for you."

Lu Benwei angrily flung his sleeve and directly refused in a temper.

Seeing Lu Benwei's disappearing back, Su Yunyun's expression was ugly.

But she also knew in her heart that she couldn't blame Lu Benwei.

He had already gone above and beyond by helping her once.

With nowhere else to go, she could only return to the Martial Hall again.

Remembering Lu Benwei's words telling her to go back to the Martial Hall where she would be safe, she clung to a shred of hope and hurriedly scouted around the Martial Hall again.

After scouting, her hopes were dashed.

Su Yunyun hung her head, her mouth corners filled with bitterness.

Because although her scouting just now had given her an indistinct sense that there was something unusual about the Martial Hall, to say that it could withstand an attack from the experts Chen Yizhen might send was just too fantastic.

So Lu Benwei must have said that just to fend her off with an excuse when he rejected her request.

"Sigh, I hope Chen Yizhen's people won't come for a while. After I finish my rebirth, I should have some ability to protect myself."

Sitting on the bed, she sighed softly, comforting herself this way.

Calming her mind and spirit.

She could feel the progress of her rebirth.

There was probably still one more day until it was complete.

After rebirth, it would take another day to regain her previous cultivation level, then reach a new height.

Altogether, it required two days.

Two days wasn't long, but it wasn't short either.

If Chen Yizhen wanted to kill her quickly, with his cultivation level, it probably wouldn't even take half a day for him to arrive here.

Uneasy, she continued sitting cross-legged on the bed, keeping her spirit vigilant.

Suddenly.

She opened her eyes wide.

She could clearly feel an enormous pressure transmitting from the surroundings of the Martial Hall.

She hurriedly got up and walked towards the door.

She immediately saw a figure standing in midair above the Martial Hall. He was wearing white robes and just standing there quietly in the sky, waiting for Su Yunyun to appear.

Seeing Su Yunyun emerge, he finally raised his eyes slightly and said lightly, "Yunyun, long time no see. I hope you are well!"

"Chen Yizhen?"

Seeing this person, Su Yunyun's whole body trembled as she gritted her teeth tightly, filled with hatred.

"Chen Yizhen, I personally nurtured your talent, yet you coveted my position, took advantage when I was going through my seventh rebirth to harm me, nearly annihilating me. I didn't expect that even now, you still want to purge me. Your methods really are quite something!"

Su Yunyun said word for word, her red lips even biting out blood.

"That's right, I've come precisely to annihilate you!"

"When I, Chen Yizhen, do things, I never leave behind any trouble."

Chen Yizhen gave a faint smile.

Then he spoke lightly.

He showed no shame at all, as if stating something matter of fact.

Having said that.

He raised his finger, a smile on his face, and pressed down towards Su Yunyun.

Seeing this.

Su Yunyun felt a tremendous sense of crisis well up.

Her instinct was to take out a teleportation scroll and flee.

But after taking it out, she hesitated.

Because even though she knew the man before her was not Chen Yizhen's true self, only an avatar carrying a sliver of his will, its strength not even one ten thousandth of his true self's.

But before the pursuit of the three Elders earlier she hadn't been able to escape, let alone now before Chen Yizhen. She had no hope.

Since it was so.

She simply gritted her teeth tightly.

Awaiting the arrival of death.

But in her heart.

She felt endless reluctance!
