　　"Do you think we can kill him this time?" They would soon come face to face with the Destroyer—although he was muddle-headed when he saw him a few times in the past, Sui Yuan was still a little nervous.

　　"Quite likely, but it is not for certain," Zhao Xihe, who was hidden on the roof beams alongside Sui Yuan, slightly lowered his head gazing at the Nightmare Beast who had transformed into Ning Ze and was holding a book in his hand in a n.o.ble manner, as well as the Crystal Beast who had the appearance of Nan Gongyi and was lying on the desk, looking bored and drowsy.

　　It had to be said, perhaps it was because their original aura was rather fitting, but the two creatures' disguise was hard to distinguish from their real counterparts. In all likelihood, they would successfully deceive the Destroyer.

　　"What you're saying is that he could possibly escape? Escape to where?" Sui Yuan was puzzled.

　　"Escape from this world," Zhao Xihe grabbed hold of Sui Yuan's shoulder and pulled him in, so that Sui Yuan's rigid-from-nervousness body could lean against him, before ma.s.saging his shoulders in pa.s.sing, "The Destroyer’s consciousness is more formidable than an Actor's. It does not need a system's support and can straightforwardly use their own power to tear apart the barrier between worlds. This is also the way in which they transmigrate between worlds after losing their systems. However, this method is very dangerous and requires an ample supply of energy and a steady environment. If they don't have enough energy or are disturbed, it is extremely probable that they will be unable to maintain their consciousness' stability and will die. Or, they will be stuck in the gap, forever unable to free themselves."

　　"If the Destroyer discovers that they can't beat us, they'll desperately try to flee. However, the price of escaping is steep, while the chance of survival is quite low, huh? Sui Yuan made a sorrowful expression on behalf of the Destroyer, "I feel that no matter what the Destroyer does, it's going to meet a bitter end…."

　　"That's because you know that I can deal with them. If you didn't have me, the one who would have a bitter time would be you," Zhao Xihe snorted with discontent.

　　Knowing that he had misspoken, Sui Yuan forced a smile and wrapped his arms around Zhao Xihe's neck, rubbing against him in an endearing way, solemnly expressing that he was only sympathizing with the enemy because he believed in his teammate!

　　The corner of Zhao Xihe's lips rose and he decided to take note of this account first and settle it later.

　　"If he comes, you must hide further away and protect yourself well," Sweeping an eye over Sui Yuan, Zhao Xihe patted his head with a bit of dislike, "If you rashly charge out and I can't help you in time, you'll just drag me down, ne!"

　　Sui Yuan："………………"

　　——Although that's true, please be more tactful! QAQ

　　While Sui Yuan was holding a moment of silence for his level five strength, (link to vid from TN) Zhao Xihe, who was behind him, suddenly loosened his hold on Sui Yuan's arm. Sui Yuan immediately put up his guard and lowered his head to check up on the situation with the Crystal Beast and Nightmare Beast.

　　Two fine cow-hair like needles pierced through the window paper, directly shooting toward the skulls of the two transformed beings. At the same time, Zhao Xihe disappeared without a trace.

　　Peng, peng. A white mist appeared before the two people who were about to be pierced in the head. In an instant, they shrunk into two little beasts. Sui Yuan hopped off the beams and stared at the needles that had completely stabbed into the walls and couldn't help but feel rather speechless. The needles were suffused with a blue halo and were most likely coated with poison. If it was a real person, no matter how great their martial arts was, they would most likely still be unable to avoid being a.s.sa.s.sinated.

　　The Crystal Beast shook out its fur and jumped onto Sui Yuan's shoulder, responsibly and diligently protecting its family's weak host. Meanwhile, the Nightmare Beast pounced out the window, bringing a joint offense against the enemy.

　　Although he was told to 'hide further away', Sui Yuan could not watch with folded arms and let Zhao Xihe face danger all on his own. He urged the Crystal Beast to envelop his body in a protective barrier before pus.h.i.+ng open the door to leave the room. As soon as he left, he saw one small and two big silhouettes clas.h.i.+ng and parting, their battle quick and violent.

　　Although An Qi had already made use of the ashes and attained an inner force equal to a hundred years of cultivation without actually cultivating, Zhao Xihe used props he had obtained from other worlds. Put that together with the Nightmare Beast who he had a mental connection with, he was not in the least in a disadvantageous position.

　　Sui Yuan let out a sigh of relief and decided not to recklessly enter the fray for the time being. Who would have expected that as soon as he had retreated a step with intentions on leaving the battlegrounds, he would suddenly meet An Qi's gaze. He couldn't help but stiffen.
