Chapter 12: Remember Not to Be a Dog in Your Next Life

Li Heng recognized this figure.

Or rather, he recognized her while she was still alive.

Of course, the two were not close; they had only met a few times—one was there to read books, and the other was the librarian.

Looking at the woman before him, with her pale face and deep ligature marks, he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a sense of lament in his heart.

"So it was you; what a pity."

Li Heng spoke slowly.

Regarding the death of this young woman he had only met a few times, and her subsequent fall into becoming a tool for the Weird to harm others, he did not feel much grief, as they were not well-acquainted.

At most, they had only exchanged a few words.

But for some reason, there was a lingering regret in his heart. Perhaps it was because he had not known many people since arriving in this World, and now there was one less.

"Your soul has already returned to Jiuyou, or perhaps it has completely dissipated into Heaven and Earth, so I shall help your body find release," Li Heng said, already moving as he spoke.

Since he said he would help her find release, he would keep his word.

In almost a single breath, Li Heng arrived beside the female Weird and struck out with a punch.

This punch sent the female Weird flying directly into the surrounding wall, where she hung for a moment before falling down.

Striking a person like hanging a painting.

For Li Heng, this was effortless.

His punch had already visualized the Great Sun, imbued with the Godly Intent of light and demon-breaking, which dispersed the supernatural influence within her body, leaving her with no ability to act and turning her into a mere corpse.

Li Heng withdrew his thoughts, his heart becoming even more resolute.

In this dangerous World filled with Weird and Evil Demon, one must become stronger, otherwise, one will only end up like her, dying on the path of eliminating the Weird.

In the end, one might even become a tool for these Weird.

He still needed to continue hunting the Weird to obtain Source Power. As long as he had enough Source Power, he could kill even an Immortal God for you to see!

If one Sun couldn't kill an Immortal God, then he would bring a second; if countless Suns bombarded them together, even an Immortal God would have to die!

Not to mention the various things that existed far beyond the Sun.

Such as the vast starry expanse, the boundless universe.

Or, for instance, the various existences that only existed in concepts and myths, claiming to be indestructible through ten thousand kalpas, Omniscient and Omnipotent.

All of these, his Supernatural Ability could manifest just the same!

On the fourth floor of Zui Xiang Lou.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yan was not surprised. After all, since they were people from the Demon Suppression Division, it was not strange for them to erupt with powerful combat strength. This actually made her even more interested.

A powerful man is only fun to conquer and train; if he were just a weakling, she wouldn't even bother looking at him.

Moreover, what had been dealt with was merely a Weird appendage, at most possessing the combat strength of the Nurturing Essence Realm.

Therefore, Shangguan Yan was not afraid that Li Heng could fly out of her palm. The Nurturing Essence Realm could not break this Ghost Domain.

"I've played enough, and I've tested enough; make your move. Remember to capture him alive, don't hurt my little darling."

Shangguan Yan spoke with a cold expression, but as she reached the second sentence, a flush rose on her face, and her voice became incomparably seductive.

Inside the Ghost Domain.

The Weird, with a pale face, deep ligature marks on its neck, and holding a rope in its hand, appeared quietly before Li Heng's eyes.

"It seems you are the master of this place. This Ghost Domain must have been created by you. But what is the deal with that big 'Slave' character on your head? Do the Weird have masters too?"

Li Heng said with a smile.

However, it was clear that the Temple Keeper, having turned into a Weird, possessed no intelligence. Under Shangguan Yan's control, it would only faithfully carry out its mistress's orders.

One can only say.

A lowly bootlicker in life, and a dog even in death.

The rope in the Temple Keeper Weird's hand shot toward Li Heng. Clearly, this rope was the prototype for the other ropes in the Ghost Domain, and its speed was incredibly fast.

In almost an instant, it had reached Li Heng. Li Heng was quick-witted and fast-handed, wanting to grab the rope.

But he was surprised to find that he could not grasp it.

Or rather, the rope seemed not to exist at all, merely an illusion, and his hand passed straight through it.

Yet the next moment, the rope looped around his neck and began to tighten, attempting to strangle him to death.

At the same time, the Qi and Blood in his body became stagnant. Clearly, it was suppressed by the power of this Weird rope.

Li Heng was unhurried, even appearing thoughtful.

It seemed this was the power of the Ghost Domain. It could turn the physical into the ethereal and the ethereal into the physical; otherwise, he should have been able to grab it.

If pure physics didn't work, what about adding some magic?

Li Heng's mind stirred. He forcibly caused the Qi and Blood in his body to riot, gathering the Qi and Blood into his hands, touching the Weird rope on his neck, and trying to tear it away.

This time the effect was significant; he could make real, tangible contact with the Weird rope and tore it away with ease.

Li Heng even used force to swing the Temple Keeper Weird at the other end of the rope directly into the wall.

"It seems you, this Weird, are not known for your strength."

Li Heng smiled faintly.

Don't look at how relaxed he was now; that was because he possessed a Visualization Divine Ability, could visualize the Great Sun True Form, and could cause the Qi and Blood in his body to riot to break the suppression.

If it were any other cultivator or martial artist whose Qi and Blood or other supernatural factors were suppressed, they would have only one path: death, becoming a corpse under this Weird rope.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yan was somewhat surprised. Her eyes sparkled, feeling that Li Heng was becoming increasingly mysterious.

To actually be able to break the suppression of this Weird rope and erupt with Qi and Blood?

Although Wang Hai was a piece of trash in life, now that he had become a Weird, he had reached the combat strength of the Foundation Establishment Huangu Realm, and within the Ghost Domain, he could even rival a Blood Changing Realm Martial Saint.

Yet even so, he still couldn't do anything to this man?

It truly made her more and more surprised.

"Wang Hai, oh Wang Hai, you were a piece of trash when you were alive and needed my help. Now that you've died and turned into a Weird, you still need me to step in and help; you really are a piece of trash."

Shangguan Yan shook her head, and through the connection of the Slave Seal, she used a certain profound Secret Technique to thoroughly stimulate the power of the Temple Keeper Weird.

Under the stimulation, the Temple Keeper Weird went directly mad, and the level of Terror within its body rose rapidly.

The surrounding Ghost Domain was also constantly strengthening, with a gloomy chill spreading all around, wanting to devour the Qi and Blood of the living nearby.

Shangguan Yan felt smug in her heart.

The current Wang Hai could fight a Blood Exchange Realm Martial Saint head-on. With the augmentation of the Ghost Domain, even a True Qi Realm Grandmaster would have to temporarily avoid its edge, so what could you possibly use to fight!

Li Heng scratched his head, feeling somewhat troubled.

The boss has entered its second phase of madness. There are all sorts of environmental debuffs around, like weakness, erosion, slowed movement...

How is a normal player supposed to fight this?

Fortunately, he has a cheat.

With a thought, a wisp of golden flame rose on his index finger, the flickering firelight even illuminating the surrounding Ghost Domain.

The surrounding space seemed to twist and become blurry.

Facing the Temple Keeper Weird that was pouncing toward him, Li Heng flicked his finger and shot the golden flame onto that Weird.

"Go well, old brother; remember not to be a dog in your next life."

"If you even have a next life, that is."

The golden flame touched the body of the Weird and instantly spread over its entire body, burning from the outside in and then from the inside out.

Finally, it turned directly into ashes and fell to the ground.

Shangguan Yan watched this scene through the mirror.

She was completely stunned. What kind of flame is this!?
