Chapter 487

Eating this Golden Heart could inherit all the power of the Undying Sword King?

"There is actually such a bizarre thing?" Li Yi was slightly surprised.

How did this sound so evil?

He looked at this beating Golden Heart but did not dare to eat it. If it polluted his Divine Bloodline, that would be a huge loss. Moreover, the power of the Undying Sword King did not increase his own strength very much; it was better to continue to gather Qi and cultivate Dao.

However, this Golden Heart could be collected as a treasure.

"Since you don't want to eat it, then give it to me." Li Yi was not moved, but it did not mean others were not moved.

Suddenly.

That adventurer named Zhang Kaiwen rushed over at this moment and reached out to snatch that Golden Heart.

He believed that as long as he ate this Golden Heart and inherited the power of the Undying Sword King, then no one here would be his opponent. Even the evil entities in the darkness would not need to be taken to heart.

A bright future was right in front of him; how could Zhang Kaiwen be willing to miss this opportunity?

However, just when he reached out and was about to touch that Golden Heart.

This treasure that people dreamed of disappeared instantly.

Yes.

It just disappeared out of thin air.

"How could it be?" Zhang Kaiwen opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise and suspicion.

"The Undying Sword King was killed by me, and the item is my war trophy. I don't give it, you can't snatch it." The next moment, Li Yi reached out and grabbed his arm. Divine power erupted, directly throwing him heavily to the ground.

The ground roared, and cracks extended.

Zhang Kaiwen was thrown until he was dizzy, and at the same time, he was shaken by the powerful force until a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"And I said, if you make a move again, I will kill you; don't think this is a joke." After Li Yi finished speaking, he delivered another punch. This punch not only had silver lightning interwoven but was also wrapped in a streak of red Qi.

He was completely serious, mobilized the magic power in his body, and transformed it into a streak of Heart Fire Qi.

Zhang Kaiwen's pupils shrank suddenly at this moment. He smelled fatal danger. At this moment, he roared, erupting all his power, attempting to break free and avoid this fatal strike.

But it was still of no avail.

Although he barely avoided the vital point, he still took a punch on his chest.

Accompanied by the deafening roar echoing.

Zhang Kaiwen's whole person was beaten into a deep pit. The armor on his chest even left a deep fist mark. Although he relied on the armor's defense to block most of the power, this punch still pierced through this piece of armor, and half a fist probed into his chest.

Heart Fire Qi erupted. His whole body seemed to be ignited. At this moment, his skin was red, and smoke was coming out of his seven orifices.

"Ah!"

He screamed in pain. His soul seemed to be burning, and his body was turning charred black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Zhang Kaiwen." Seeing this scene, Lin Ya roared and immediately rushed over with a battle sword.

Li Yi tilted his head, his silver vertical pupils staring at him, revealing a warning taste: "I have already given you a chance. If you want to make a move, I will kill you together. Don't challenge my patience."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

Simultaneously, he let this person turn into ashes amidst struggling and wailing.

Burned by his Heart Fire, only a Daoist cultivator of the same Five Qi Realm could save him, and at least it had to be the second layer of the Five Qi Realm, having cultivated Kidney Water Qi to extinguish the fire in the heart.

Seeing this, Lin Ya stopped his pace abruptly. He gripped the battle sword tightly, wanting to save him, but finally hesitated.

If Zhang Kaiwen was doing this to drive these people away, he would make a move without hesitation, and other adventurers in the building would also support him.

But just now, Zhang Kaiwen made a move to plunder other people's war trophies. According to the rules of the dark world, being killed by the other party was deserved, and there was not even a reason for revenge.

As original residents living in the building, the two words "rules" were carved into their bones and must be absolutely obeyed and not violated.

It was not just him who was silent.

Everyone in the entire building was silent. They could accept Zhang Kaiwen fighting to the death with Li Yi for the safety of the building, but they could not accept him being killed by others for snatching the Golden Heart.

This was a very shameful thing.

Accompanied by the screaming gradually extinguishing.

Zhang Kaiwen's body was also burned into charcoal, and even his soul seemed to have been extinguished together. Just a casual move, the charcoal-like body collapsed, and finally turned into a pile of black ash, leaving only a set of silver armor flashing with charming light, and a cross broadsword. But these pieces of equipment were now also Li Yi's war trophies.

However, Li Yi was not interested in this.

He waved his hand, *Gang Qi* rolled back, and he threw Zhang Kaiwen's battle armor and weapon in front of Lin Ya.

"I know the rules of this world—war trophies need to be shared. I will leave the weapon and armor on his body in this building and won't take them away. You can pass them on to the next capable adventurer, but the Undying Sword King's war trophies belong to me. If anyone still wants to challenge, I welcome it at any time." Li Yi subsequently put the blood-red armor into the Five Elements Bracelet.

This set of armor and weapons, plus the Golden Heart, could create a new Undying Sword King.

After a brief silence, Lin Ya took over the weapons and armor left behind after Zhang Kaiwen's death, because he knew that this was already the best result. What's more, after this person killed the Undying Sword King, the blood was poured into this building, raising the vitality of this building to the peak, and even lighting up all the lights in the building.

This meant that for a long time in the future, the building would be very safe and could protect the building guests for a long time.

To some extent, Li Yi could be considered the hero of this building.

"I can accept you to stay in this building, but you cannot stay here. Zhang Kaiwen lived in this building since he was a child and protected this building many times. You killed him. Although no one will trouble you now, your existence will attract huge hatred, which is not conducive to the peace here. And with your strength, you can live very well wherever you go." Lin Ya subsequently said.

Li Yi said: "I won't stay here. I will leave after dropping off a batch of people here."

"More people will come here?" Lin Ya asked.

"They have already arrived." Li Yi took out the Purple Gold Gourd at this moment. He manipulated this Daoist artifact and released everyone in the gourd.

But seeing the gourd suddenly become larger, subsequently the lid opened, and a streak of cloud Qi sprayed out. But seeing living people being sent out from the Purple Gold Gourd by a gentle force, in just a moment, hundreds of people appeared in the building. These people were all survivors of the dark area, and now they had successfully escaped and survived.

But the others inside the building opened their eyes wide when they saw such a magical scene, not believing that so many people could actually be contained in such a small gourd.

【i-56】 (Note: This line is a garbled tag/placeholder, skipping as per instructions)

After the gourd spat out all the people inside, Li Yi took back the Purple Gold Gourd.

"We really arrived at a new building; we finally escaped from that darkness. That's great."

"All of this is simply like a dream."

"Where is A-Wei? Why don't I see A-Wei? Where did he go?"

These newly appeared survivors discussed one after another. While they were glad that they were far away from the darkness, they discovered that A-Wei, whom they had always trusted, was missing.

"A-Wei was hit by an evil corpse and fell into the darkness; he didn't escape with us. But I believe he will be fine and will soon reunite with us." At this moment, Ning Wu walked over and explained to everyone, simultaneously soothing everyone's emotions, letting them not worry.

After all, in the eyes of their people, A-Wei was the boss.

"So many people?" Lin Ya was stunned for a moment.

Li Yi said: "The number of people living in this building is not many. Adding these hundreds of people won't have any impact. On the contrary, they can survive in the dark area, which itself means they have extraordinary strength. Staying here is helpful to this building. And I will also keep my promise, leave here, and head to other places."

"When are you leaving?" Lin Ya asked.

He did not hope for Li Yi to stay here for long. This person's strength was too strong and extremely dangerous, easily targeted by the Evil God, thereby bringing a great disaster.

"Now." Li Yi said.

His mission had already been completed. As for whether Yang Wei was alive or not, it was not important to him, because he would go to World No. 36 to settle this account with the original owner.

As he spoke, he did not hesitate, turned around, and walked toward the outside of the building.

Lin Ya was somewhat incredulous, not expecting that the person in front of him would really leave as soon as he said so. Did he not fear the darkness outside at all?

"Sir, Sir..." Just at this moment, a young man named Sun Fei in the crowd ran over hurriedly. He followed Li Yi and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi stopped his pace and looked back.

"Sir, are you setting off again?" Sun Fei said.

Li Yi said: "My mission for this trip has already been completed; it's time to leave. Why, do you want to go with me?"

"Of course, wasn't this agreed upon before?" Sun Fei said seriously.

"Ahead is a piece of darkness. Following me, you might not even be able to reach the next building. Staying here, you can still ensure safety." Li Yi said.

Sun Fei said: "If I needed safety, I wouldn't have boarded that train. Sir said he would take me to see the outside world. I have already made preparations; even if I die, I will die on the road of moving forward."

His goal had not changed and remained firm.

This made Li Yi look at him with new eyes.

"If you are not afraid of danger and death, then come with me." Li Yi did not refuse his company but praised his courage and persistence.

"Thank you, Sir." Sun Fei said gratefully.

Watching the two walk toward the outside of the building, Yu Chuan, who was also an Evolver, advised: "Li Yi, it's too dangerous for you to travel alone now. Why not wait a bit? Wait until A-Wei returns, and then we can act together."

"No need. If he dies, wouldn't I have to wait here for a lifetime?" Li Yi waved his hand, refusing Yu Chuan's kindness.

Ning Wu also wanted to open her mouth to advise him. After all, he did make a move to save her before, but thinking of the previous conflicts and contradictions, she could not bring herself to say it and could only watch him leave.

"Who is cursing me to die? I am living well. On the contrary, Little Li, you are too unloyal. I haven't boarded the car yet, and you have already run away without a trace." However, just at this moment, a familiar voice came from the passage of the building.

But seeing Yang Wei return safe and sound, he gripped the treasure sword in one hand and held the Hellfire Whip in the other, his whole body stained with blood. Clearly, he had gone through a fierce battle before arriving here.
