The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chen Er looked at her body, at the place beneath her battle robe where light shimmered.

That location was the very place he had seen Lu Lingqi trying to hide, and if he remembered correctly, Lu Lingqi called that location "General Star".

Chen Er glanced at her briefly before shifting his gaze to the girl shrouded in a white robe and the enormous white fox beside her.

“I have no intention of being your enemy, Samurai Tower. But if you still do not spare my brother, I will have no choice but to treat you as my opponent.”

The giant white fox, the fully alert Lü Lingqi, and the mysterious woman from the warrior tower all turned to look in this direction upon hearing this.

Lu Lingqi looked as if she had seen a monster, while the giant white fox also showed a slight expression of confusion.

What's wrong? Why are they all looking at me like that?

"I never imagined that there would be someone in Xiapi who could be immune to judgment without ever awakening their martial arts skills."

A calm female voice rang out. Chen Er looked at the woman in white robes and saw her kneeling on one knee, speaking to the enormous white fox before her:

"Lady Linglong, please spare them. After all, they are both chosen by the Heavenly Pavilion."

The woman in white robes knelt on the ground, looking at the white fox with a pleading expression.

Could it be that the initiator of the "trial" was not this mysterious woman, but this white fox?

Unconsciously, Chen Er gripped the dagger in his hand even tighter.

The enormous white fox wagged its tail and then glanced in the direction Zhang Liao was. Under Chen Er's gaze, Zhang Liao's eyes were no longer like rubies.

"Don't worry, he'll wake up soon."

The mysterious woman parted her lips slightly and continued speaking.

"Thank you." Chen Er said these two words coldly, and then walked to Zhang Liao's side and helped him up.

Chen Er was now certain that the person under the white robe was definitely a young girl. He knew that many people could change their voices, but such a natural and long-term change was almost impossible. Moreover, the other party seemed to have no reason to change her voice.

Just now, the mysterious girl's words seemed to contain a lot of information, but Chen Er's mind was not fully clear at the moment, and he was worried about Zhang Liao's injuries, so he temporarily put those questions aside.

Lu Lingqi, contrary to her usual self, fell silent, but the resentment in her eyes was impossible to conceal.

What kind of past could give a young girl such eyes?

Chen Er had no time to investigate further. He checked Zhang Liao's body and was relieved to find that he had simply fainted.

"Hmph, you dare to unleash Judgment on those who want to participate in the Martial Arts Trial? Are you so sure that these two big oafs can withstand Judgment and not turn into idiots?"

Looking over here, Lü Lingqi felt a sudden impulse, and without thinking, she blurted out what she had said.

The mysterious girl looked at her and shook her head:

"Lady Linglong, you know your place. Also, if you have nothing else to do, please don't linger here. You should know how terrifying the Abyss Dragon is."

Lu Lingqi naturally knew this, after all, she had just personally experienced the fear of facing the "Abyss Dragon". However, she could not bring herself to bow down to the person in front of her and say what she said!

"Hmph, what's so scary! It's just a little bigger! It couldn't do anything to me just now."

Laughter seemed to drift through the air, and the beautiful white fox glanced at Lü Lingqi with disdain.

The mysterious girl gently patted the white fox's shoulder, then looked at Lü Lingqi and slowly said:

"There are two things about Yuanlong that you probably don't know."

"What?" Lu Lingqi asked impatiently.

“First, the reason why you didn’t think Yuanlong was that scary just now is because hundreds or thousands of assassins have already been sacrificed, although for Yuanlong’s appetite, that’s just a drop in the ocean.”

Lü Lingqi fell silent. She had already guessed this outcome.

"Secondly, Yuanlong wasn't truly awakened just now; in fact, he's still far from truly awakening. Everything just now was merely an instinctive attack." After saying this, the mysterious girl opened her arms and then pressed them down simultaneously.

On both sides of the passageway, countless eerie blue flames were completely extinguished in that instant.

After she finished doing all this, she looked at Lü Lingqi:

"Didn't those people tell you that Yuanlong hates light and fire?"

“I started the flames; it has nothing to do with her. I don’t want to waste any more time here. Miss, please take us to the martial arts trial.”

Chen Er stepped forward. He had been wondering how such a terrifying "Abyss Dragon" could suddenly appear, but now he understood.

He thought those assassins were the ultimate killing move. In fact, the real ultimate killing move was "Abyss Dragon".

In the darkness, seeking fire and light is a human instinct. Chen Er is like a puppet in a circus; although his actions are subconscious, they are all part of someone else's calculations.

"Please follow me. Also, Miss Lü, please think carefully before you act." After saying this, the mysterious girl turned around and led Chen Er and Zhang Liao away.

For some reason, the calmer her voice was, the more intensely the flames burning in Lü Lingqi's heart became.

"Stop right there! You still haven't explained to me why the teleportation array was changed! The three of us should have gone straight to the first floor of the Warrior Tower, how did we end up in this godforsaken place!"

Enraged, Lü Lingqi shouted loudly at the mysterious girl.

The mysterious girl didn't turn around, and the giant white fox didn't move. However, its ruby-like eyes, which shone brightly in the darkness, kept flashing with mockery.

"Don't you already know the real reason? The split of the Samurai Tower, didn't those people tell you?" The mysterious girl's voice was so ethereal in the pitch-black space.

Chen Er helped Zhang Liao up and looked at Lü Lingqi, whose face showed a mixture of resentment and fear.

For some reason, Chen Er suddenly found the scene utterly ridiculous.

“Miss Lü, please come with us. That way, if we encounter any problems, we can ask Miss Lü for advice.”

Chen Er swore that this was the gentlest he had ever spoken since he came into this world.

Lu Lingqi looked at him in surprise, and then, in the darkness, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
