“Whoosh!”
An unstoppable fist force twisted the surrounding space.
“Bang!”
The fist struck the demonic shadow’s chest.
However, even this invincible punch failed at this moment. The demonic shadow’s chest only showed a slight dent, with no significant damage.
With a wave of its dark hand, the dented chest was restored to its original state.
“That was a decent punch, but in front of me, you’re nothing but an ant,” sneered the demonic shadow. With a clench of its hand, Bai Qiyu’s fist exploded into a cloud of blood mist, turning to powder.
His entire hand was instantly gone, revealing the stark white bones at his wrist and the pulsating veins, a horrifying sight.
“Junior brother!”
“Senior brother!”
Seeing this, the remaining disciples were enraged.
Jia Jiaqin burned his life essence, urging his flying pig mount to charge recklessly at the demonic shadow.
Li Taibai, trembling, stood up once more and lashed out with his bullwhip.
Li Jin, lying on the ground, swung his sword with all his might.
Xiao Zhan, Zhen Jiaozhen, Qian Duoduo, and the other disciples unleashed their own techniques, hurling divine weapons and treasures at the demonic shadow without restraint.
Despite being severely injured and having their life force and fortune devoured by the dark energy, they fought with unwavering determination, their eyes devoid of fear.
They were all disciples of their master, and none wanted to bring shame to him!
No one would allow their master to be disrespected!
But…
In the face of absolute power,
Their fighting spirit was insignificant.
The demonic shadow effortlessly deflected all their attacks.
In an instant, all the disciples were grievously wounded, collapsing to the ground, their faces filled with bitterness and unwillingness.
They could only watch helplessly as their life force and fortune were slowly devoured, piece by piece.
Meanwhile, as the demonic shadow consumed the disciples’ power, its strength visibly increased, and its dark form now covered half the sky.
“Accept your final baptism of darkness!”
The demonic shadow seemed to have lost interest in toying with them. With a wave of its sky-like black hand, an even more terrifying devouring force descended upon the group.
As this force enveloped them,
They could clearly feel death approaching, despair filling their hearts.
Just then,
The space was suddenly torn apart.
“Hey, isn’t this big bug disgusting? All black, like a stick figure.”
Accompanied by a disdainful voice, a black-robed skeleton, a dog, a centipede, a black bear, and a floating spirit emerged from the spatial rift.
With a wave of his hand, the black-robed skeleton dispelled the terrifying devouring force that seemed capable of consuming the heavens and earth.
It vanished as if it were nothing more than a passing breeze.
“The Five Guardians!”
“The Five Guardians are here!”
“We’re saved!”
Though on the brink of death, the disciples’ spirits lifted upon seeing Lu Benwei and his companions. Excited voices filled the air.
“You little brats, you’ve really disappointed this scoundrel!”
“Such a trivial matter, and it’s cutting into my time for flirting.”
Hearing this,
The disciples who were still conscious lowered their heads, their faces filled with regret and shame.
“Enough, enough!”
Lu Benwei, clad in a black robe, stood majestically in the void, his robe billowing in the wind, exuding an aura of power.
With another wave of his hand, a gentle breeze swept past, and the dark energy clinging to the disciples and the numerous Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts instantly dissipated.
Feeling the dark energy vanish, everyone felt a weight lift from their bodies, no longer bound by its grip.
“Who is this expert? So powerful, he saved us with just a wave of his hand.”
“Is this the master the seniors spoke of?”
“No, didn’t you hear? Senior Su Yunyun called him a guardian.”
“What? A guardian? There are guardians too?”
“What’s more, when he scolded them, over ninety mighty figures lowered their heads and accepted his reprimand.”
Countless Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts, who had been on the brink of despair, now saw a new hope. Gazing up at Lu Benwei in the sky, they were filled with disbelief.

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
