Yue Shi could not fathom what kind of being Yin Runa truly was.
Yin Runa offered no further explanation either.
“Are there only four of us for this mission?” Little Red Riding Hood asked.
Qin Sansi nodded. “Yes.”
“Since everyone is here, I announce that the first team-building activity of the Double-Sided Tape organization, the trip to the God Realm, officially begins.”
A talisman was ignited, and a crack appeared on the wall, revealing a vast white light that seemed endless.
Qin Sansi led by example, stepping in first. Little Red Riding Hood followed, Yin Runa was third, and Yue Shi was the last to step into that white light.
Nothing but white remained in his vision. After an unknown amount of time, when the feeling of solid ground finally returned, Yue Shi found himself standing on a vast wasteland.
The sky was a deep blue and filled with clouds; mountains rose in the distance, and the wind was somewhat strong.
He looked around, but he saw no sign of Qin Sansi, Little Red Riding Hood, or Yin Runa.
“Did we really get separated?”
Before Yue Shi could even begin to look for them, intense energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from the distance.
Looking up, he saw that not far away, the sky had been painted in a kaleidoscope of colors by the brilliance of spells.
Those colors roiled and collided within the clouds, and hundreds of powerful auras were locked in a chaotic battle in that direction.
A cold and arrogant youth was being besieged by several people. He was covered in wounds but still maintained a resolute expression, his chin tilted up and his eyes showing no fear—only a condescending contempt.
His aura was uniquely dominant among the crowd, but there were too many people besieging him. Spells poured down like a torrential rain, making the situation very unfavorable for him.
By then, some had already noticed Yue Shi.
Yue Shi had appeared far too abruptly. The wasteland was endless with no cover, and he was just standing there in the open.
Dozens of gazes swiveled toward him simultaneously.
“Who are you?” someone asked sharply.
“I’m just passing through. Please, continue,” Yue Shi waved his hand at them and turned to leave, looking very much like an ordinary person who didn't want to cause trouble.
After hearing Qin Sansi's description of this world, Yue Shi was still somewhat wary. Before he could figure out the situation, he planned to keep a low profile.
“He really does seem to be just passing through.”
“If he’s not one of ours, he must die,” another voice said coldly.
“Exactly. We should just kill him directly. Who knows if he’s really passing through or here to scout for information?” another voice agreed.
Before the words had even finished, five or six people detached from the battle and flew toward Yue Shi.
They moved with incredible speed, their attacks already primed.
“Die! You have only yourself to blame for appearing here,” the leader grinned as he hurled a ball of fire.
The others joined in from different angles, their dozen or so spells sealing off every direction Yue Shi could possibly dodge.
The indifferent expression on Yue Shi’s face instantly became extremely vicious.
The attacks from the group stopped abruptly less than a meter from Yue Shi’s body.
A second later, they were dead.
Countless fine cracks suddenly appeared across their bodies, and then their entire beings shattered into pieces. The whole process took less than a second.
In the distance, the people in the chaotic battle stopped at the same time and looked at Yue Shi.
The cold and arrogant youth being besieged also looked over, his eyes shining.
Someone called out coldly, “Who are you to dare kill—”
Before the sentence could be finished, Yue Shi’s attack had already arrived.
Thick, viscous black seawater surged out from everyone’s shadows simultaneously, grabbing their ankles, wrapping around their waists, and covering their mouths and noses as it gradually swallowed them.
Screams erupted one after another. In just a few moments, a large group of people had died.
“I gave you a chance to be sensible, but you didn't take it. You insisted on seeking your own deaths,” Yue Shi mocked coldly.
“Kill him together first, or we will all die!” A man who had escaped the seawater flew into the sky and roared.
Many people unleashed their spells at Yue Shi at the same time. The scene was incredibly spectacular, the sky looking like a messy palette.
The light of the spells covered the sun and the sky, but unfortunately, attacks of this level could not harm Yue Shi at all.
A chilling wind howled behind Yue Shi as black mist permeated the air and ghosts wailed.
Everyone who dared to attack him was killed. No one even saw clearly how he did it.
The wasteland was soon covered with severed limbs, brains, and intestines.
Yue Shi finally showed a satisfied expression.
He relished this kind of bloody brutality!
The cold and arrogant youth was still standing there, smiling at Yue Shi. “Thank you for saving me. I see your strength is quite good. I happen to be lacking a bodyguard. You will be my bodyguard.”
Yue Shi was dumbfounded. “I saved your life, and you want me to be your bodyguard?”
The youth frowned. “Don't be too greedy. Don't think you can leverage a life-saving favor for a reward. Being able to serve as my bodyguard is your supreme honor—”
Yue Shi delivered a direct slap to his face.
The youth’s eyes widened in disbelief. The moment the palm touched his cheek, his face began to shatter. Astonishment still remained in his eyes, but his entire body had already been torn into ten thousand pieces.
Yue Shi withdrew his hand, feeling quite refreshed.
This world did not seem as dangerous as Qin Sansi had claimed.
In the far distance, several latecomers witnessed this massacre.
“The young master was murdered!”
“Quick, we must send the news back!”
“No, we failed to protect him. We won't survive anyway. We might as well just run away...”
