I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Yan Ziming snorted coldly and increased the output of energy. Although there was nothing in front of him, cracks appeared and finally shattered.

However, it was too late. Jiang Lan had already been subdued by another man, and a dagger was pressed against the carotid artery in her neck.

"Don't move! If you move again, I'll kill her!"

He shouted hoarsely, the monkey's gruesome death filling him with immense fear. He lost control of the force with which he pressed the dagger against Jiang Lan's neck, cutting her skin and drawing blood.

Yan Ziming, who was just considering whether to take a gamble, stopped. This person's mental state was very unstable. If he was even slightly provoked, he might completely lose his mind, and then Jiang Lan would really be in danger.

“Miss Yan Ziming, we don’t want to make things difficult for you. As long as you come with us, I can assure you that we will not harm her.”

The eldest brother walked between Jiang Lan and Yan Ziming, blocking Yan Ziming's gaze from Jiang Lan, and presented his conditions.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Yan Ziming couldn't help but sneer.

Since they listed Jiang Lan as one of their main targets, they must know her true identity. If this person in front of them were to offend even a hair on Jiang Lan's head, he wouldn't even know how he died when he got back.

“Miss Yan Ziming, I think we really need to have a serious talk.”

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together, so what's there to talk about?" Yan Zimo sneered.

If we wait just a few more minutes, the ninth-level experts from China will arrive. At that time, how could they possibly survive?

There's nothing to talk about with a dead person!

"Do you want to join us? If you join us, you can gain the favor of the gods, and you will..." He rambled on and on, all revolving around one purpose—to invite Yan Ziming to join them.

Yan Ziming didn't interrupt him. The longer it dragged on, the better it would be for her. Let this guy talk for as long as he wanted.

"So, what do you think?" the eldest brother asked after he finished speaking.

"I'd like to know, why are you and that guy who was playing with fire so obsessed with me?" Yan Ziming asked, puzzled.

If we were to say what her most valuable asset is, aside from her beauty, it would be her talent that guarantees her breakthrough to the ninth rank.

But it seems that these two points are not what they care about; instead, they covet other values ​​that they possess.

"...The deity instructed me to bring you to his side; it's that simple." The eldest hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

Yan Zimo then asked:

"Who exactly are your gods?"

"I..."

"Boss, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's get out of here." Another man muttered to the boss. The rest of the squad had mostly left, but they were still stuck here.

"You'll know the moment you see the deity. Now, please come with us, or else..."

"Uh-huh——"

A cold glint flashed in the leader's eyes, and a semi-transparent cone appeared in his hand. He stabbed it into Jiang Lan's shoulder, and blood immediately spurted out. She, who was still unconscious, woke up because of the pain.

"Even if we can't really do anything to her, we can still teach her a lesson."

"You!" Yan Ziming's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and lightning surged behind her as she was furious to the extreme!

When Jiang Lan woke up, she saw Yan Ziming confronting the people who had kidnapped her, and she almost blurted out words of concern.

[I can't let them know that I know Zi Mo, otherwise she'll be in an even more passive position!]

She had endless things she wanted to say to Yan Ziming, but she could only give him an apologetic smile, which was then twisted in pain the next second.

Yan Ziming felt a sharp pain in her heart, but Jiang Lan's pained expression forced her to suppress her anger. She managed a weak smile and said:

"Okay, I'll go with you, but how can you trust me to stay with you?"

The eldest brother had already come up with a plan. His eyes gleamed with a blue light as he said, "Just stand still."

Yan Ziming suddenly felt something like a snake sliding across her body, almost driving her completely mad. She finally calmed down after seeing Jiang Lan's remorseful expression. Then, her hands and feet were bound by invisible ropes.

The leader didn't dare go too far. He originally wanted to use his superpowers to bind her in a more sexy way, but he was afraid that Yan Zimo would fight to the death and perish with them, so he had to give up.

Yan Ziming struggled slightly with both hands, but found they wouldn't budge. He already had an idea in mind; all he needed was an opportunity to get close to Jiang Lan.

"I'm sorry, Zimo, I've dragged you into this..." Jiang Lan said with two lines of tears in her eyes, blaming herself.

She knew that both of them had fallen from grace. She had some value to be exploited, so she wouldn't suffer much. But the thought of what kind of treatment Yan Ziming, with his unparalleled beauty, would receive made her heart ache.

Yan Ziming sighed and comforted her:

"There will be a way, don't worry."

"Oh, you two know each other? I wonder what it will be like when your friend is stripped naked and taken turns being played with by us? It's something to look forward to!" The man holding a knife to Jiang Lan's neck sneered, emphasizing the word "we".

His words chilled Jiang Lan to the bone, and she closed her eyes in despair.

Meanwhile, the eldest brother imagined countless exciting scenes, panting heavily as he gazed greedily at Yan Ziming's alluring figure.

Yan Ziming ignored his gaze, quietly waiting for a turning point. The next moment...

--coming.

An overwhelming pressure that could subdue all living beings swept in, and the flames that had been burning everywhere were quickly extinguished as if they had encountered some kind of flood or ferocious beast. The noisy battlefield suddenly became silent, and even the sound of heartbeats could be clearly heard.

Yan Ziming and everyone else in the research institution were suppressed and unable to move.

The ninth-tier expert from China has finally arrived, and it is none other than Marshal Yan Shan of China!

Yan Ziming had felt this oppressive aura just yesterday; she couldn't be mistaken—this was the pressure emanating from Yan Shan!

The leaders were in a daze. Yan Ziming had experienced something similar in the Yongjing battle two months ago and yesterday, so he had developed a great deal of immunity.

Raikiri appeared silently, its luster completely concealed. The transparent rope that had bound Yan Ziming so tightly was rendered useless by Raikiri's blade and was instantly sliced ​​in two.

After Yan Ziming finished doing all this, the battle situation in the sky took a new turn.

Snow, snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and a biting wind howled past, making people shiver.

The oppressive aura emanating from Yan Shan seemed to be frozen by ice and snow, weakening it considerably, allowing everyone to resume their movements.

Strangely, Yan Ziming, as a seventh-level ability user whose life level had been elevated, was still greatly affected by the cold wind, only slightly better than an ordinary person.

The one who could suppress her like this must be a ninth-level expert, and he was the one who caused this snow!

"Wait a minute, I remember that none of the five pillars of China have ice-related superpowers?" Yan Ziming muttered to himself, wondering if something unexpected had happened again.

Could it be... a ninth-tier expert from the intruders' side?

Yan Ziming was startled by his own thought. If that were the case, things would be really serious. Not to mention the disaster that would be caused by two ninth-level experts fighting in the city, the most important thing is that sending such powerful experts to cause destruction within China's borders is clearly a declaration of war!

"Ninth tier! That's quite a move! Are you trying to start a war?!"

Yan Shan's furious voice echoed in the sky, carrying with it a powerful cultivation level, and resounded throughout the entire Bei'an Military Administrative Region. The entire sky seemed to tremble, and Yan Zimo and the others who were nearby were so shocked that they saw stars and their legs went weak.

At the same time, the two powerful beings in the sky began an unprecedented clash, with the sounds of drums and gongs resounding, and the clouds were all swept away, revealing the boundless starry sky.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Mo Xin, the Little Lolita, Unleashes Her Power

Two ninth-tier beings engaged in a decisive battle in the heart of the Beian Military Administrative Region. Without any warning, strange phenomena appeared within several kilometers of the research institute.

The ochre and snow-white halos clashed in the sky, with the snow-white portion clearly suppressed. Under the pressure of the ochre light, it continued to shrink and disintegrate, unable to resist.

Seeing this, Yan Ziming finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his uncle's strength was close to the level of the Sequence Street, so victory was a foregone conclusion, and he held an absolute advantage in this battle.

At this moment, the sky above the Beian Military Administrative Region is a magnificent and dazzling sight.

Occasionally, some devastating aftershocks would fall, but they would be neutralized by an invisible and intangible force hundreds of meters above the ground, never landing on the land of Bei'an. Yet, these aftershocks still caused panic among the people.

Yan Ziming, no longer able to process his shock, seized the opportunity while his boss and the others were still in a daze, and used all his skills to instantly kill the man who was holding Jiang Lan hostage. He then picked up Jiang Lan with one hand and retreated swiftly.

"You—! How did you break free from my telekinesis?!" the leader cried out in terror.

"What's so difficult about it? It's nothing in front of my little loli Mo Xin!" Yan Ziming said disdainfully. How could his trashy superpower withstand the power of Lei Qie?

“That’s right, you’re nothing in front of me!” Mo Xin’s voice came from inside the Raiche.

Then, without Yan Ziming transmitting energy, the blade of Leiqie suddenly lit up, becoming transparent, with blue-purple lightning coursing through it, just like when Liu Mengxian wielded it.

"Oh, Mo Xin, you're awake." Yan Ziming greeted her with a smile.

"It's nighttime now, and it's so noisy outside, it's hard not to wake up," said Mo Xin, the little girl, with dissatisfaction.

Jiang Lan and the eldest brother were dumbfounded.

Gods above, what did I see?

A weapon that can talk?!

what the hell!

The eldest brother suddenly understood why the gods said that Yan Ziming possessed a secret that could overturn the world; the scene before him was enough to overturn people's worldview.

"Zimo, what is this...?" Jiang Lan nestled in her arms and asked in confusion.

Yan Ziming playfully closed one eye and whispered close to Jiang Lan's ear, "This is a secret between just the two of us~"

"Mmm...uh." Jiang Lan's seductive nature kicked in again, and her face turned bright red under Yan Ziming's teasing.

"Mo Xin, you can hit this person in front of you as much as you want; he's the one who woke you up."

After teasing Jiang Lan for a while, Yan Ziming gave the order to attack.

The next second, Mo Xin became excited and manipulated the Lightning Blade to slash down from the air. The blue-purple light blade tore through the earth, and destruction and death intertwined. The psychic wall that the boss had set up in front of him shattered in less than half a second, and he dodged the attack in a sorry state.
