At that moment, Shen Kangren looked utterly miserable—his flesh rotting away, as if he could collapse into a pool of blood at any second!
Yet even so, Yinghuo immediately seized Ye Yu’s hand and fled toward the horizon!
Perhaps the poison pill’s power was indeed formidable, but to kill an Ancient-God–realm powerhouse—especially one who could devour flesh—there was absolutely no chance!
Over countless years, Shen Kangren’s flesh had already accreted to a truly terrifying degree. To annihilate him completely, one would have to dissolve every last fragment of his flesh! Otherwise, even a sliver remaining would allow him to revive!
As it appeared now, Shen Kangren looked wretched, but his true root remained untouched. That was precisely why Yinghuo had dragged Ye Yu away so urgently!
Indeed, as she had predicted, after a few breaths Shen Kangren’s form collapsed into a pool of bloody water. When the purple-tinged poison had dissipated, a figure re-formed—it was Shen Kangren himself.
He raised his still-purpling right hand, a twisted grin on his face. “You feed me poisoned flesh? Intriguing—so intriguing. Even if your realm is low, I still wish to taste your flesh! Just wait—I will absorb you both into my body!”
No sooner had the words fallen than Shen Kangren vanished from that spot.
Meanwhile, Yinghuo and Ye Yu did not continue to dash through the wilds; instead, they arrived at Balance City!
Honestly, Ye Yu would rather never return to this place—because the drunkard Su Tian was here! If Yinghuo met Su Tian, how could he fabricate their backstory? It would be a dead end.
But Yinghuo insisted. She even claimed that besides the God of Balance, no one else would guarantee their safety now! Perhaps it was true—but Ye Yu resisted all the same.
Yet with a secret divine art, Yinghuo whisked them to Balance City in the span of two breaths! To Ye Yu’s relief, Su Tian was nowhere to be seen—his old drinking spot occupied by someone else entirely. Ye Yu exhaled in quiet relief.
Yinghuo had no intention of lingering in the outer city; she led Ye Yu into the main city. Two stone lions perched beside the gate sprang to life and leapt forward to block their path!
Yinghuo continued at full speed, drew a token from her storage ring, and slapped it against each lion’s face. A single character appeared on each:
“Pain!”
The character glowed with divine might, and the two lions, aggrieved, turned and fled!
Ye Yu found it fascinating—until Yinghuo tugged him onward, like someone perfectly at home here.
They reached a door in the inner city. Yinghuo kicked it open. “Old Yu, are you still alive?”
