"What on earth happened? Where are my Blood Corpse and that idiot? Where did you lock them up?" Liang Xiaoke seemed to realize something, leaping up abruptly from ** and grabbing Monike’s arm as he spoke.

"They are all in the back, they’ll be fine. It’s my subordinates outside who..." As soon as he mentioned this, another tremendous crash sounded, accompanied by bursts of shrieks.

The sound of those screams was even louder than the noise Liang Xiaoke had made when he was violated. Hearing such a sound, Monike’s expression changed drastically.

Forgetting to attend to Liang Xiaoke, she hastily grabbed a set of clothes from somewhere, threw them on, and rushed out...

Liang Xiaoke was also startled. He pulled out an outfit from his Qiankun Ring, quickly dressed, and rushed out. When the two arrived outside one after the other, they found that the towering Heavenly Wolf Giants had already been minced into bloody paste. Seven humanoid giants stood there, their feet crushing the remains of the Heavenly Wolf Giants under them.

"Second Miss..." Seeing Monike emerge, the seven giants called out to her casually.

"Qi Sha Lang (Seven Kill Wolves), you... why did you kill my subordinates?" Seeing these seven enormous men, Monike was nearly driven to fury.

"There is no why. We only execute the arrangements made by the Eldest Miss!" said the man leading them. His gaze had already pierced past Monike, landing on Liang Xiaoke. His silver eyes glittered with icy killing intent—a raw, unrestrained intent, as if their sole purpose for being there was to slaughter Liang Xiaoke.

Sensing the intense murderous aura emanating from them, Liang Xiaoke’s brow twitched. Had he somehow provoked these people?

"What are you planning to do next?" Seeing the casual demeanor of these powerful men, Monike felt as if her lungs were about to explode with suppressed rage. Yet, she understood the strength of these seven; each one was a sixth-rank Demon Lord. She herself might not be a match for any of them one-on-one, let alone Liang Xiaoke.

"Kill him..." The seven men spoke almost in unison.

"Xiaoke, run! I’ll hold them off!" Monike shouted. The moment her words faded, silver light began to ripple across her body, and she prepared to charge towards them.

"Damn it, I’m a proud man, how can I hide behind a woman? But I still have business to attend to, so I won’t keep you company for now—you hold them!" Liang Xiaoke’s first sentence sounded noble and spirited, but the second sentence completely betrayed his inner state. He turned his body and bolted away...

Monike felt a brief warmth in her heart hearing the first part, but the latter sentence chilled her to the core. When she saw Liang Xiaoke fleeing directly backward, her lungs nearly burst again. How could this guy be so utterly shameless?

However, remembering that Liang Xiaoke had broken her seal, and considering her older sister clearly sought vengeance, she felt it was worth it to delay them for a while to protect him. Yet, she couldn't quite understand: if the curse was as terrifying as Liang Xiaoke claimed, why would her sister bother with a complete purge? Wouldn't it be better to just let the curse erupt naturally?

Evidently, these Qi Sha Lang would not answer her questions. As Liang Xiaoke fled backward, the seven Qi Sha Lang moved simultaneously...

Seven fist imprints shot directly towards Monike. A potent burst of fist energy erupted, and before Monike could even close the distance to the Qi Sha Lang, she was blasted flying backward, slamming heavily against the rear wall. She didn't know how many of her bones had broken.

"Apologies, Second Miss, we meant no disrespect!" the leading Qi Sha Lang man said to Monike, then turned with the remaining six to pursue Liang Xiaoke.

Although their frames were massive, their speed was still incredible. They streaked through the air, leaving afterimages, and quickly caught up to Liang Xiaoke.

Knowing these men were after him, Liang Xiaoke ignored the thought of seeking out Lin Xiaoyi and sprinted straight into the Tianjue Forest. Seven sixth-rank Demon Lords—genuine sixth-rank Demon Lords! At best, he could barely handle one of them now. Facing seven simultaneously, he would undoubtedly meet a gruesome end. If not for running now, when should he wait?

And what did it matter if he hid behind a woman?

His speed was also astonishing, even faster than the Qi Sha Lang initially. However, the Tianjue Forest was dense with trees, and he was unfamiliar with the terrain, causing the Qi Sha Lang to close the distance on him steadily.

After running desperately for several moments, covering an unknown distance, he was finally intercepted by the Qi Sha Lang...

Looking at the seven Qi Sha Lang, each one towering significantly over him, Liang Xiaoke’s brows furrowed deeply. Who had he provoked this time? He had finally managed to keep his sister from bothering him, and now he was being hunted by her older sister. How could his luck be this terrible?

"I say, gentlemen, I still have a curse on me! Can’t you just let me go?" Liang Xiaoke asked, his face mournful, his tone deeply frustrated.

"We are here to help you find release!" The leading man snorted coldly, stepping forward instantly to smash down on Liang Xiaoke. Liang Xiaoke dared not take the blow head-on; he dodged aside, avoiding the fist. But the other six men struck out simultaneously. Their savage fist energy smashed into Liang Xiaoke without reservation, sending him flying back, shattering countless bones in his body.

"Damn your ancestors, don’t think I’m genuinely easy to bully!" Knocked to the ground by a single punch, realizing escape was no longer an option, Liang Xiaoke roared in fury. His body began to swell rapidly, soon reaching a height of nearly ten meters. His entire body became covered in black scales, inscribed with dark magic patterns. Demonic markings also flashed across his face.

"Kill..." The Qi Sha Lang felt the power erupting from Liang Xiaoke’s body and roared in unison. Seven figures shot forward, driving another set of fists towards him.

Liang Xiaoke’s body flashed with black light, and he threw out a desperate punch, meeting the combined force of the seven attacks head-on...

CRACK... A massive sound echoed as Liang Xiaoke’s entire arm snapped, and even his shoulder was pulverized. His body was blasted straight backward, crashing through and felling several massive trees consecutively...

"So what if you transformed? You still couldn't withstand a single punch from us..." the leader sneered, his face radiating contempt.

"How about adding me to the count?" But just then, a cold voice drifted from within the jungle. Immediately following, a tall, strikingly handsome man emerged from the shadows of the trees...

(Tired!)
