What on Earth Do You Consider Life to Be

"What... what kind of joke is this...?"

"Why is this happening?"

"There are still enemies? Did Deng Feng die?"

"What are we supposed to do now? If this is the case, then what was all our previous effort for?"

Each person knelt on the ground with desperate eyes, their voices filled with the collapse of despair.

Bai Jun hadalready exhausted all his true energy. He couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the black-clad figure.

The other party exuded an aura of arrogance with every movement, simply standing there suffusing an inexplicable sense of oppression that made resistance mentally impossible.

Who? Who could possibly possess such overwhelming power?

At that moment.

The sect master of the Black Tortoise Gate widened his eyes in shock, panic tearing through his voice as he bellowed: "The Night King!! It's the Night King! This appearance is exactly the same as back then!"

"It's over! The Night King has truly resurrected!!!"

Especially when he saw the dark, sinister Black Tortoise behind Gu Yan.

The Qi of the Black Tortoise has been absorbed by the Night King, the destined one has been slain, and the world will descend into chaos! It's over! The prophecy has come true!

"We will all..........."

Pfft!!

Before he could finish his words.

Like a suddenly flattened can, the noisy sect master of the Black Tortoise Gate was instantly compressed into a flat meat patty from an unknown force.

!!!

Everyone immediately widened their eyes, their breath momentarily halted.

Dead.... dead?!

How did he die?

At this moment.

As if he had just crushed an insect with no emotion in his voice, Gu Yan spoke indifferently: "Too much talk."

"Too many people."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone looked up to see Gu Yan slowly raise his hand.

"Roar!!!"

The sinister Black Tortoise behind him roared immediately.

Boom!

A series of dark fire pillars descended from the sky.

Snap snap snap!!

Pfft pfft pfft!!!

In the blink of an eye, countless martial artists were squashed into charred meat patties.

Panic, breakdown, and desperation spread continuously.

They've managed to hold on till now, which is enough to prove that they are geniuses of the ancient martial arts world.

But.... even geniuses.....

They also felt the helplessness of the current situation.

With their true energy depleted, they have become sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Bang bang bang! In less than a moment, the field instantly became much emptier.

As if he had just done something trivial.

Gu Yan put his hand down, calmly scanned the few people left on the scene, and said slowly: "Now all the small fries are cleaned up."

"But I've also lost a lot of manpower."

"So, as a reward for lasting until now, I give you a choice."

"First, die."

"Second, submit to me."

Buzz!

Liu Jianxing watched the people around him die one by one, his mind had long been blank.

His body was already soaked in other people's blood.

Dead....

Everyone died?

So easily.... been killed?

And what the other party said?

He stared blankly at Gu Yan, and when it came to this point, the other party still thought they could submit to him?

Shangguan Miaoyin put away her leisurely attitude.

She pretended to be powerless and sat on the ground, her gaze solemn as she looked at the black-clad Gu Yan.

Very strong....

Super strong.

And... for some reason, Shangguan Miaoyin had a strange feeling.

If she didn't know that her master was the Night King.

She might really think that the person standing over there was the Night King.

Whether it was the oppressiveness, the temperament, the image, or the means, it was indistinguishable from the Night King!

This matter must be reported to the master! The fake Night King! Not a fake image created by demon sects!

But there really is such an organization!

Although she didn't want to communicate with the other two teammates using an internal voice, they clearly needed to come up with a way to solve the current situation.

So she said in her mind.

[Murong Ci, can you tell this person's strength?]

[..... I can't tell, but there's one thing I can confirm.]

[What?]

[This person..... just from the posture.... is crazily strong.]

[.........]

[What about Bai Lian? Any ideas?]

[.... Don't talk, I'm pretending to be a corpse right now.]

Okay, asking these two is useless.

Shangguan Miaoyin calmed down and fell into thought. According to the master's instructions.

They were supposed to infiltrate the righteous faction, and from the current situation, they had already successfully infiltrated the inside.

But the effect would only be the best after everything was over.

So what they need to do now is help Bai Jun, the head of the Jianghai district, escape the current predicament.

What should we do?

If we suddenly burst out with hidden strength, how can we explain the previous exhaustion? It will only increase suspicion.

However.

The next second.

Shangguan Miaoyin's peripheral vision caught a silhouette pushing a sword against the ground to support herself as she stood up.

She was stunned and then looked over.

Only to see.

Ning Qian stood up, her body covered in blood, but her eyes burned with boundless anger.

This 16-year-old girl had witnessed the cruelty of the Night for the first time.

She raised her sword toward Gu Yan and shouted loudly: "What kind of joke is this...?"

"What kind of joke is this!!"

"Why can you say that so easily?!?!"

"The loss of manpower? A reward? Submit to you!?!!"

"What exactly....."

"What do you take all these lives for?!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The air was instantly silent for a moment.

Shangguan Miaoyin glanced at Ning Qian and admired her in her heart.

No wonder she's a disciple of Dragon King Mountain, hating evil is the right thing to do, but you have to discern the occasion.

The person in front of us is definitely a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and what he said to you will probably make you angry, then kill you with one palm.

It's a pity, actually, I quite like you, little girl, after all, you are a genius.

But... now I can only say goodbye.

However.

To the surprise of everyone present.

Gu Yan simply spoke calmly, slowly uttering a reply they hadn't even thought of.

"Life....."

"Would you care... how many ants you've stepped on?"

!!!

Everyone's breath paused.

Shangguan Miaoyin didn't expect such a reply either, and her assessment of Gu Yan's danger level increased again.

After a brief moment of stunned expression, Ning Qian's eyes were filled with endless fury.

She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, her eyes fixed on Gu Yan: "I was overthinking things."

"People like you..... will never have any emotions!!"

Ning Qian said this, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

Then, when she opened her eyes again, her eyes had turned golden, and her expression was also extremely firm.

"I am Ning Qian, the thirty-third generation disciple of Dragon King Mountain....."

"I swear to hunt down the Night King for the rest of my life!!"

Boom! As the words fell.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

A surge of golden true energy surged out.

Bai Jun was shocked.

Dragon Qi!! This is Dragon Qi!

Ning Qian's Dragon Qi is incredibly strong!

Is this the heritage of Dragon King Mountain?!!

Gu Yan looked at her and felt helpless. Is this the common operation of the original female lead?

Do you have to go berserk at any moment?

But it doesn't matter, the plan is almost complete, let's just test.... my abilities.

Thinking of this, on the surface, he slowly spoke: "Interesting."

As he spoke, gurgle gurgle!!

A black-patterned long sword suddenly appeared in Gu Yan's palm.

Swish! The sinister Black Tortoise silhouette dissipated.

And Gu Yan's tone also became extremely arrogant at this moment: "I like geniuses. If you can defeat me, I will spare all of you."

"If you lose, then you all die."

"During this period, I will only use the sword."

Ning Qian was immediately overwhelmed by this arrogant attitude, and she immediately flashed her sword and charged over: "Die, evil devil!!!"

Gu Yan raised his hand to block, the black sword colliding with the golden-glowing sword.

Clang!!

A powerful air current swept through the place.
