The night was pitch - black.
A crashed helicopter lay in ruins on the reefs, billowing thick smoke, and then was washed by the oncoming waves.
A rugged - faced man, covered in wounds, tapped his earpiece lightly, gasping for breath and looking extremely agitated. "My lord, I'm sorry. We were attacked by the Paradise Organization," he said.
"Where are you?"
A woman's anxious voice came from the other end of the earpiece.
"I've sent you the location," the rugged - faced man replied in a deep voice. "We request organizational support. The attacker is Kirupa, one of the twelve leaders of the SSS - ranked killers."
Before the rugged man could finish his words,
a spear had pierced through his chest from behind.
As the spear was pulled out, a spurt of blood gushed out!
The rugged - faced man slowly slumped to the ground.
With a thud! His body shattered into a shower of blood and mud!
"Disgusting! Don't soil my cape!"
A man fully clad in armor cursed.
He was almost entirely armed, and even his face was hidden behind a bronze mask, with only a pair of pitch - black eyes visible. His strong body was holding a chain - ball, which seemed rather out of place.
He had a name that made the entire Western Continent tremble - Armor Demon!
The man who had struck with the spear was a middle - aged man with a mustache, having sharp features and a typical Western appearance.
This man was none other than Kirupa, one of the twelve leaders of the Paradise Organization!
"Where is that little girl from the Great Xia country?" Kirupa asked his allied teammate beside him.
"How would I know!"
Armor Demon's voice had a metallic quality, extremely shrill and ear - piercing.
Kirupa curled his lips into an evil smile. "Interesting. Two killers from the Underworld have been caught and killed, but a powerless little girl has gone missing. This island isn't big. Let's split up and search."
Armor Demon grumbled in a deep voice, "This is a waste of time. I wasn't invited here to do such menial tasks!"
"Haha, just joking. I'll handle this," Kirupa said.
Looking at the vast and desolate island, Kirupa bent down, clenched his fists, and placed them on the ground.
With a roar from him,
the ground suddenly began to shake!
Qin Yao, hiding behind the seaside reef, turned deathly pale.
The pain from the shaking ground was like needles pricking her, but Qin Yao bit down on a piece of cloth to endure it. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead as she managed not to make a single sound.
After trying several times, Kirupa frowned tightly.
"No sign?"
"Maybe she's already dead," Armor Demon said faintly.
"Possibly,"
Kirupa showed a thoughtful look after hearing that.
In a plane crash, an ordinary person's physique would make it very difficult to survive without special protection. But strangely, there were no bodies at the wreckage of the plane!
Where could she have gone?
"A Kai, please help with the search," Kirupa said with a kind smile.
"Damn it!"
Armor Demon glared angrily at Kirupa but had no choice but to start the search step by step.
The deserted island wasn't large.
As time passed, the search area gradually shrank.
Watching the two men getting closer, Qin Yao's heart sank deeper and deeper.
Seeing that the two men were already in front of the reef, Qin Yao took a deep breath. Her hands trembling, she took out a pill bottle from her bag.
This was the Life - Preserving Pill that An Yi had given her at her birthday party!
According to Mu Xuan, it could maintain a state of false death for two hours.
Without further hesitation, Qin Yao opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.
Immediately afterwards, she felt dizzy, and her body couldn't support her. She knelt on the beach.
Plop!
Her body slumped to the ground limply.
After searching for a long time, just when Armor Demon was about to lose his patience and explode, Kirupa spotted Qin Yao behind the rock.
"Look, there she is!"
Kirupa said with a smile on his lips.
"This little girl is an important hostage for the Paradise Organization!"
The two walked over, looked at the unconscious Qin Yao, and exchanged a glance.
"She's dead!"
Armor Demon glanced at her and showed a gloating and wild smile.
Kirupa's face turned ugly.
The purpose of this girl was to be a hostage, and a dead hostage was worthless!
He gently touched Qin Yao's neck with his fingers.
Sure enough, there was no sign of a pulse.
"She's dead!"
Kirupa, who always smiled like a gentleman, now had an extremely ferocious and terrifying look in his eyes.
Armor Demon looked at the sky where the roaring sound of aircraft wings could be heard and jeered, "There's another piece of bad news. The reinforcements from the Underworld have arrived."
Suddenly, two figures, one black and one white, descended from the sky and slowly landed on the ground.
The Black and White Impermanence of the Underworld!
Kirupa's eyes became even more sinister. Just then, he needed to vent his anger!
The two guys codenamed Black and White Impermanence were only at the early stage of the Illusory Realm in the Great Xia, not very powerful.
Thud!
Suddenly, a round, pitch - black fat man fell from the sky and landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of sand.
"Wow! King Taishan of the Ten Palaces of the Underworld is here. Thieves of the Paradise, give me your lives!"
The black - haired fat man had a pair of glaring eyes, full of killing intent.
Armor Demon grinned. "I didn't expect even the Ten Palaces of the Underworld to come!"
Kirupa's face darkened.
The Paradise Organization had twelve angels, while the Underworld Organization had the Ten Palaces of the Underworld.
The two sides were almost evenly matched in strength, and the combined strength of the Black and White Impermanence could rival that of a king.
"Hand over Miss Qin, and we'll spare your lives!"
The Black Impermanence said with a cold face.
King Taishan grinned. "Kirupa, you have two choices. One, fight us to the death. Two, hand over Miss Qin, and we'll act as if nothing has happened."
Since the two sides were evenly matched, if they really fought to the death, the best outcome would probably be a Pyrrhic victory!
Both sides knew what was more important.
"I choose the second option," Kirupa said with a smile.
King Taishan was a bit stunned. "So straightforward?"
"It's just a dead body. You can have it if you want," Kirupa and Armor Demon took two steps back. Suddenly, a mechanical shark leaped out of the water and opened its hatch.
"Goodbye!"
Kirupa showed a smile and jumped into the hatch with Armor Demon.
The mechanical shark churned up huge waves and sank to the bottom of the sea.
"The diving shark of the Paradise Organization can't be caught up with," the Black Impermanence said in a deep voice.
The White Impermanence looked at Qin Yao, who was lying silently on the beach, feeling extremely sad. Finally, he let out a deep sigh.
No one had expected that the long - awaited reunion after twenty years would turn out like this.
"Yao Yao, mom is here."
On the beach, a graceful woman slowly walked over, gently holding Qin Yao's cold face in her hands and crying miserably.
Daybreak came.
An Yi pulled open the curtains cheerfully.
The sun was shining brightly!
Looking at Yan Zhi, with her disheveled hair, lying limply in the quilt, An Yi grinned.
He had finally avenged his humiliation and won!
"Shall we go again?"
Looking at the alluring Yan Zhi, An Yi hesitated for a moment and was about to take action.
Knock, knock!
A series of knocks on the door echoed through the room.
"Master, it's time for us to go!"
An Yi was furious.
"You ungrateful disciple!"

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
