Give Zongman some collapse shock

"Is everyone embarrassed by what you said?"

The girl covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Jiang Chen, did I misunderstand? It feels like you're pursuing me, I mean in a romantic sense. But that won't work. An overly enthusiastic and direct attack will make a girl feel at a loss, and I'll retreat, okay~?"

"Okay, I surrender."

Jiang Chen sighed and raised his hands. Even if he didn't criticize her, his skills in picking up girls were no match for Alicia.

"Like you said last time, cute girls are the world's treasures. No one can resist the charm of such a treasure when they see you. But, you don't really have any such thoughts, right? Don't tease me."

"Do you mean to deny that you like me? I'm so sad."

The girl cried.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen was speechless.

Pursuing Alicia?

Don't joke.

He really likes Alicia, and he declared it to Sheshe in front of her the first time they met.

But liking someone is one thing, pursuing them is another. This girl, as gorgeous as a flying flower, is always thinking about others. When it comes to individuals and love, it cannot be said that there is no such thing, it can only be summarized as the lowest priority.

Jiang Chen had no intention of seeking hardship for himself.

After waiting for a while, the girl raised her eyes crying, and seeing Jiang Chen's indifferent look, she puffed her cheeks as if accusing Jiang Chen of being ruthless.

"I apologize for breaking my promise yesterday, so could we change the subject? For example, what are the other heroes' opinions on whether they should agree to my previous proposal?"

"Well... that's a little unsatisfactory."

The girl tapped her lips slightly in distress.

The heroes have distinct personalities.

Velvet and Padofelice expressed a strong interest in the other world, while Hua remained neutral and indifferent. As for Eden, there was no need to explain much; wherever Alicia went, Eden would go.

Grayshu was simply obedient, and if Mebius asked, she probably wouldn't refuse.

On the contrary, there are several staunch opponents.

Aponia, Ying, Kevin, and Su, the above four people have no intention of leaving the paradise of the afterlife.

Among them, the most vehement opposition...

"Found you, scum!"

The murderous voice and burning breath instantly broke the friendly atmosphere between Jiang Chen and Alicia.

As the voice's owner approached, the air's temperature rapidly increased. A scorching heat wave seemed to incinerate everything, even causing space to distort.

——Thousands of tribulations.

This is the most fierce opponent mentioned by Alicia.

He is also a man of action and is prepared to use physical means to solve the problem from the root.

"Oh, Qianjie is following us. Do you want me to help stop him?"

Alicia looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

As long as you open your mouth, the girl will do her best to calm her partner down.

She has that ability and equal weight.

"Allysia, why do I feel like you did this on purpose?"

The corner of Jiang Chen's eye twitched suddenly.

I always felt like Alicia wasn't too interested in leaving Paradise. It was strange. When I mentioned the other world, the interest in her eyes wasn't fake. Her actions gave me the illusion that she'd help, but ultimately, whether it would succeed depended on Jiang Chen's own performance.

"I already told you I can help you stop Qianjie. If you want, I'll help you, okay~?"

The girl still smiled.

So, no denial?

I have no idea what's going on in this pink fairy's mind.

Jiang Chen retreated calmly, not wanting to face the furious Qianjie.

"I think there might be some misunderstanding. Why don't you sit down and talk calmly?"

Qianjie remained silent, just moving forward angrily.

"You really don't need my help? Qianjie is very strong."

The pink fairy watched the show from the side.

"...Your help shouldn't just be verbal!"

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched twice.

This Alicia is a faded fairy!

Isn’t this really exacerbating the conflict?

"Of course it's more practical help. Guess what I prepared for you? A golden, glittering seal. No one can refuse it, right?"

Alicia walked lightly to Jiang Chen's side, with golden light shining in her hands.

I'll give you reinforcement, go ahead!

What a ghost!

The case was solved, and I suddenly understood what Alicia was planning.

Feeling inexplicably tired, Jiang Chen walked towards Qianjie, rejecting the girl's kindness with his actions.

"The Sixth of the Fire Chasing Heroes [Ao Mie]"

Jiang Chen took out his weapon: "I'll state in advance that I have no intention of becoming your enemy. I came to the Land of the Past with the purest good intentions. Whether you accept it or not, I hope you can face the decision calmly later."

Qianjie's expression changed a little.

Because the weapon Jiang Chen took out was none other than the Eleventh Key of God, the Oath of Judah.

This thing has a single effect. Simply put, it is ineffective against Honkai energy.

Once the barrier is deployed, any Houkai energy within its radius is instantly neutralized, suppressing all other forms of energy. It is a deadly poison to any warrior who relies on Houkai energy. Furthermore, the tragedy of the restraints inflicted by the Eleventh Ruler of the previous civilization left a profound impression on Qianjie.

However, there is still a difference between the Key of God and the Ruler.

"Ha~"

Qianjie sneered, then burst into laughter: "Haha! Hahaha! Herrscher, are you planning to use this little toy against me?"

The Herrscher's power of restraint had indeed instantly laid Qianjie flat on his back. But it was also because of that incident that Qianjie underwent transformation. Although he was still subject to the suppression of the restraining power, his formidable physique allowed him to function normally within the restraining barrier. As long as his spirit could withstand the barrier's weakening, he could unleash the terrifying power of tearing the Herrscher apart with his bare hands.

Even though Jiang Chen was the user of the Divine Key, he was still subject to the suppression of the power of restraint. As a Herrscher, his reliance on Honkai energy was even more severe than that of a Fusion Warrior.

So in Qianjie's opinion, Jiang Chen was simply seeking death by using the restraint key against him.

"Are you courting death? Let's wait and see. Judas's Oath, Zeroth Rated Power, Divine Grace Barrier—Deploy!"

The huge cross glowed brightly, and the golden gears slowly turned.

"You really are looking for death!"

The flames on Qianjie's body went out, and he clenched his fists with a grim smile.

Then, he was knocked down by a punch of even more outrageous force.

Chapter 167: Sacrifice a thousand disasters and toast to friendship.

As soon as Kevin arrived, he began to doubt his life.

What did you see?

The golden gears, the impressive divine grace barrier, the strange-looking Alicia outside the barrier, and Qianjie, who was lying on the ground in the center of the barrier and trying to scam people like crazy.

"..."

This sunny and cheerful boy, who had been tempered into silence and introversion by countless cruel battlefields, could only blink mechanically and blankly, and stretched out his evil hand to his closest friend.

"Ow!"

Hearing Su's suppressed and sorrowful howl, Kevin's expression became more and more indescribable: "It seems that I am not dreaming."

I have become a memory, yet I have the good fortune to witness such bizarre things... I can only say that if you live long enough, you will see everything.

He silently approached the pink fairy at the edge of the battlefield.

"Alicea, Qianjie..."

Kevin only asked half the question.

It's really hard to say.

The Paradise of the Past had a complete backup of the Key of God, so it was normal for Judah's Oath to be recreated within the Paradise and for the Divine Grace Barrier to unfold. What was abnormal was that Qianjie, the hero with the highest resistance to the Divine Grace Barrier, was actually being brutally assaulted by a Herrscher inside.

You know, if the Divine Grace Barrier is deployed alone, even Kevin himself might be hung up and beaten by Qianjie.

And at this moment...

Qianjie can’t defeat his successor?

No, no, no, no, it's impossible no matter how you think about it. Then there is only one truth: Qianjie is trying to scam people!

but why?

With Qianjie's temper, he'd rather endure the humiliation of being pinned to the ground by his successor than to seduce a junior. And most importantly, why? It was common knowledge that Qianjie was extremely unpopular within Yingjie. His fiery temper and unbearable foul mouth had reduced the social status of this Yingjie, who bore the name "Ao Mie," to the same level as Sheshe.

Simply put, even if Qianjie was pinned to the ground and beaten in public like he is now, other Yingjie, except for Alicia, would not immediately lend a hand, but would think about the reason first like Kevin is doing now.

The important thing is that for unknown reasons, Alicia did not go up to help Qianjie.

So, what is Qianjie trying to achieve by doing this?

Did he think Kevin didn't beat him hard enough, or had he been in Paradise for too long and finally gone insane, wanting to experience the ultimate pleasure of humiliation from his juniors?

Although it's outrageous, it makes sense why Alicia didn't go to support.

I didn't realize that, Qianjie, you always act like a violent person who wants to kill anyone who comes, but you actually have a heart as hot as fire inside.

It’s quite a trick. Do you want me to cooperate with you next time and beat Qianjie harder?

"I seem to understand."

Kevin nodded to himself, convincing himself.

He turned around, as if he was going to pull his good friend away from this place of trouble in the next second.

"I haven't said anything yet, what did you figure out by yourself, idiot Kevin!"

Alicia quickly pulled Kevin who was about to leave.

I always feel that if I don't take action now, Qianjie will die in the biological sense and will immediately face an even more cruel sociological death.

We are all just memory devices, so let’s not endure this kind of torture.

"You guys are really something. When you get together, you always come up with some weird things."

Alicia rubbed the squinting eyes beside her and said, "Su, you too, since you are next to Kevin, you should give him some advice."

Su and Kevin remained silent and didn't dare to answer.

Men, when they get together, always come up with bad ideas and put them into action, doing things that sound outrageous.

The two men glanced at Qianjie and Jiang Chen in tacit understanding, and quickly accepted their new best friend. After all, the guy who could do such a thing with Qianjie in public was definitely not a serious person. Once these non-serious men got together, they would create endless joy.

The two looked at each other tacitly, and from each other's cold (squinting) expressions, they understood the same joy.

It’s great that the new successor is a man.

"You two..."

Alicia knew at a glance that her two companions must be using the second circuit of their brain, which all men have, so she could only quickly explain the matter.

"...That's it. Think about how to separate them."

"Separate, no need."

Kevin was indifferent.

"Allysia, do you think it's necessary to separate them?"
