Free Web Novel“Senior Brother, although our Yumen Sand Sea lineage has been at odds with Half-Guitan for generations, is it really necessary to eradicate them? Is there another way... I mean, can we try a different approach?”
“A different approach? You mean, tormenting their minds? Xiao Bai, I didn't expect you to be so creative! Tell me, how do you want to play? Your Senior Brother will cooperate!”
“No, I mean... wait a moment, Senior Brother, come here quickly, there's still a living person here, uh, it seems to be a Miss.”
The voices grew closer, and soon the tightly shut prison door was opened. Light streamed in from outside, faint but enough to tear through the darkness in the cell.
The young girl slowly raised her head and looked out of the cell. After her eyes adjusted to the long-lost light, she saw the jade-like youth extend his hand to her.
“Miss, come with me? I'll take you home!”
“Hey, Xiao Bai, didn't you realize she's a Half-Guitan? Even if you save her, she won't remember your kindness. Next time you meet, she might even stab you!”
“I say, just leave her here. Half-Guitan, these monstrous things, are as tenacious as water bears. She'll be fine... By the way, do you know what a water bear is? Water bears are incredibly strong creatures, like Calamity-level...”
The person accompanying the youth chattered on, annoying like a sparrow on a stimulant, but the youth seemed not to hear him. Without waiting for the girl's answer, he silently stepped forward, gently picked her up, and walked with firm steps towards the vast Gobi Desert...
...
The blade gently flicked upwards, drawing a silvery arc of light.
The silvery arc of light flashed and vanished. As the ropes binding her body broke, and her body was gently embraced by a pair of firm, strong arms, Fragrant Basil's thoughts finally detached from her memories.
She looked up at Bai Kai, and suddenly realized that the side profile in her memory had, at some point, aged, grown stubble, and even developed some fine wrinkles. Time seemed to have changed everything, yet nothing seemed to have changed, because he said the same words again.
“Let's go, Xiang Bohe, I'll take you home.”
As his voice fell, Bai Kai took a step forward. The sharp crack of tearing air erupted, and then his and Fragrant Basil's figures vanished from where they stood, as if melting into the raging wind.
When they left, Bai Kai did not kill any Half-Guitan.
Although he really wanted to recite, “Ten steps, one kill; a thousand li, no trace,” and charge into the swarms of Half-Guitan, wreaking havoc, he was holding Fragrant Basil.
He had met many women and considered himself very knowledgeable about the psychology of most females. In his opinion, Fragrant Basil had made such a self-sacrificing move for him, so now he only wanted to hold Fragrant Basil with both hands, not wield a sword.
Moreover, he didn't need to draw his sword to leave. There were four hundred and ninety-seven Half-Guitan present, but they couldn't stop him from leaving at all.
His speed was too fast, so fast that he moved through the crowd, and it was only a few seconds later that those Half-Guitan vaguely noticed something, realizing that something almost imperceptible to the naked eye had just passed by them...

In the distance.
Wu Ta You Clan Leader was prostrate on the ground, hiding his figure behind a dead, fallen Poplar tree, stealthily poking his head out to observe the situation ahead.
When he saw Bai Kai, dressed in white, flash through the swarms of Half-Guitan like a dazzling bolt of lightning, leaving no trace, he gasped as if he had a toothache.
He suddenly felt that his decision to immediately leave on some pretext after bringing Bai Kai nearby was absolutely the most correct choice.
At first, seeing Bai Kai lingering on the outermost edge of the Half-Guitan, he thought Bai Kai was hesitant to act because there were too many opponents. He never expected that Bai Kai didn't even put those Half-Guitan in his eyes; he was just waiting for the most crucial moment to descend like a divine soldier and rescue the beauty.
Looking at that scene, Wu Ta You Clan Leader inexplicably had a feeling that Bai Kai wasn't unable to kill all those Half-Guitan; he just didn't have time to kill them.
If he had been impulsive just now and directly brought Bai Kai before Tuoeli Le, and now Bai Kai had quietly left without causing any slaughter, wouldn't it be very awkward for him, the 'guide,' to be left there?
Perhaps, in their collective fury, those scoundrels would treat him as a substitute for Fragrant Basil.
From a certain perspective, watching a lewd fellow being executed can bring as much joy to the audience as watching a beauty being executed...
Yes, Wu Ta You Clan Leader was self-aware enough to know that he was an annoying, lewd fellow.
However, lewd people live longer, don't they?
“What are you doing hiding here?”
A low voice came from behind, and immediately after, Wu Ta You Clan Leader felt someone grab his collar and lift him up like a small chicken.
He struggled twice, then sharply turned his head and saw a gloomy, large face covered in golden fur.
“Uh, it's Adult Alasi Lan? Ha, haha.” Wu Ta You Clan Leader let out two dry laughs. “I'm... I'm just watching the show here, aren't I?”
“Watching the show?” Alasi Lan frowned and looked ahead, only to see a chaotic mess of Half-Guitan, like ants caught in the rain, with faint wails coming from the crowd.
He was confused.
“This...” Wu Ta You Clan Leader explained, “That Tuoeli Le fellow, in order to assert his authority over a small Zhanfu Tribe, provoked a terrifying Psychic. Now his arm has been broken, and he's howling over there!”
“Psychic?” Alasi Lan tilted his head and asked in a deep voice, “There's a Psychic attacking your kinsmen, and you're just watching the show here?”
“I, aren't I scared?” Wu Ta You Clan Leader shrank his neck and said weakly, “I suspect that person is already close to Calamity-level. How can I be his opponent? Going to help would just be throwing my life away.”
Hearing this, Gu'er Alasi Lan looked at the chaotic Half-Guitan in front, then at the lewd and timid Wu Ta You Clan Leader, and spat fiercely, “Bah, a bunch of useless things. Close to Calamity-level, but not Calamity-level, and you're already in such a sorry state?”
“But it's good. Now everyone should know who the best candidate for leader is, right?”
“Of course, of course!” Wu Ta You Clan Leader echoed with a fawning expression, “I've always thought you were much more suitable than that Tuoeli Le fellow!”
“Is that so?” Gu'er Alasi Lan said coldly, “I hope you can continue to say that in front of everyone later. It would be best if you could tell everyone everything you just saw, and then actively suggest that I replace Tuoeli Le as the leader.”

Wu Ta You Clan Leader, “...” So I'm the bad guy, and you get the benefits, right?
He suddenly felt a bit like he wanted Bai Kai to come back.
Although they weren't of the same clan, the treatment over there was good!
He said he'd let him go after guiding the way, and he kept his word. Unlike this Alasi Lan fellow, who isn't satisfied with just bleeding you dry; he'd break your bones and suck out all your marrow.

The wind howled, yellow sand filled the sky, and on the desolate plain, explosive flames bloomed like flowers. Two figures moved between the fiery trees and silver flowers, continuously approaching the wind-eroded hills in the distance.
At first, Fang Ji watched Gu Qianqian being blasted by the overwhelming Paper Cicada Immortal, jumping up and down as if dancing on a knife's edge, almost always narrowly dodging the impact of intense explosions at their very edges. He once doubted that Gu Qianqian could hold on until she brought him before the Disaster.
However, just as this thought arose in his mind, Gu Qianqian suddenly entered a very strange state, as if she had activated a cheat, moving through the flying Paper Cicada Immortal with agile and graceful maneuvers.
It felt as if a slowly crawling worm had suddenly transformed into a butterfly after pupating.
“I didn't expect you to have this ability?” Fang Ji praised, “Quite impressive!”
Life is unpredictable, and changes always catch one off guard.
Honestly, at the most dangerous moment just now, the surging fiery light had already ignited the corner of his clothes. If they had been even a little bit slower, he and Gu Qianqian would have been cremated together.
“But, since you have such an ability, why didn't you use it earlier?”
Fang Ji said again. Seeing that Gu Qianqian had not responded for a long time, he finally sensed something was wrong. Then he tilted his head and saw a face with eyes rolled back and foam at the mouth.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Gu Qianqian's current state was not some special ability at all, but instinct!
It was a terrifying instinct unleashed by constantly dodging the Paper Cicada Immortal's attacks, gradually familiarizing herself with their offensive patterns, and forming muscle memory, all based on her exceptional combat talent.
But perhaps, dodging the high-frequency, high-power attacks of the Paper Cicada Immortal exceeded the limits of Gu Qianqian's instinctive endurance, causing her body to overload and leading her into this semi-comatose state.
“...”
What kind of 'Extreme Freedom' technique is this?
Can't it be a bit more reliable? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
However, could this also be a miracle? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
After a brief shift in his thinking, Fang Ji became inexplicably excited. He had thought Gu Qianqian would just take him all the way to the Disaster, but the next moment, a “miracle” appeared again.
The Paper Cicada Immortal's “bombardment” suddenly stopped. The Paper Cicada Immortal circling in mid-air that hadn't yet ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) fallen also retreated, flying back behind the wind-eroded hills.
Immediately after, two figures were seen crossing the wind-eroded hills and coming onto the plain, quickly approaching.
It was the Disaster! It finally appeared... Fang Ji's eyes lit up.
Although Lu Yibei's appearance and clothing at this moment were completely different from what he had seen before, he would absolutely not mistake the strong, putrid smell of bad luck emanating from Lu Yibei.
The next moment, Lu Yibei's voice from the distance confirmed his guess.
“Fang Ji? It's been a long time since we parted ways at Da Chunyang Palace. I never expected to see you here? I have a lot to say to you, shall we talk? What do you think?”
“...” Fang Ji opened his mouth, about to say something to Lu Yibei, but before the words could come out, he heard Lu Yibei in front curse.
“Holy crap! What do you guys want to do?”
Hearing this, Fang Ji froze for a moment, then looked ahead, realizing that the distance between him and Lu Yibei was getting closer and closer...
Fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters...
It wasn't until the distance between him and Lu Yibei was less than five meters that he realized what had happened.
Gu Qianqian, in her semi-comatose state, seemed unable to stop...
This thought flashed through his mind, and the next second, he heard Lu Yibei's muffled groan beside his ear.
“Ugh...”
Gu Qianqian crashed into Lu Yibei's embrace, and Lu Yibei caught her like a basketball, pressing her head with both hands.
“Bang!” A loud bang erupted where palm met head, like a car crash scene.
And Fang Ji, who was being carried on Gu Qianqian's back, was thrown upwards with the sudden stop, like a human cannonball, flying straight towards the distant dirt mound.
Bathed in the howling wind, feeling the sudden sensation of weightlessness, Fang Ji curled his lips, a smile of enjoyment appearing on his face, then he plunged headfirst into the dirt mound. A sharp pain came from the top of his head, as if he had hit something hard and sharp. There was a crisp sound from his skull, which was probably cracked.
“...”
This familiar feeling...
It's the feeling of bad luck descending!
How wonderful! Fang Ji thought.
