As night fell, Wang Dali shouldered his luggage and left the Kunlun Mountains.

Though he was defeated, Wang Dali had given it his all and even received a round of applause for his tenacity.

This contest had taught him the lesson that beyond every person there is another person, and above every sky is another sky.

He had just reached the middle of the mountainside when suddenly a terrible scream echoed from ahead.

Wang Dali's gaze hardened, and he stopped in his tracks.

The one ahead of him was a disciple from Penglai Pavilion of the South Sea; they had just added each other on WeChat before leaving. Could it be that the disciple encountered some danger further up?

However, after listening carefully for a while, he no longer heard any sound from ahead.

"Could it be an illusion?"

Wang Dali shook his head and continued walking forward.

But just then, a fat person in a black robe suddenly appeared on the mountain path.

The fat man's face was completely invisible, his entire figure shrouded in the black robe.

Wang Dali's face changed drastically—it was not strange for someone to appear on the mountain path, but what was strange was how abruptly this person had appeared, as if out of thin air.

And there was something eerie about this person.

Wang Dali stopped in his tracks and said coldly, "Excuse me, please step aside."

However, the person in the black robe lifted their head, revealing blood-red eyes.

"Tsk tsk, prey, more prey has arrived."

Seeing the black-robed person's sinister face, Wang Dali's expression turned ugly.

"Who are you?" Wang Dali asked coldly.

"Tsk tsk, mmm, what a delicious scent, your blood is even purer than his," the black-robed person said coldly.

"What? Did you kill him just now?" Wang Dali's expression changed abruptly.

"Wrong, wrong, I didn't kill him, I ate him," the fat person in the black robe replied with a sinister smile.

"What?"

For some reason, this guy gave him an extremely weird feeling, chilling him to the core.

Wang Dali felt his back soaked with sweat.

He took a few steps back, then turned and ran.

The figure before him was not human but a demon.

He ran with incredible speed, quickly covering hundreds of meters.

Seeing that no one was chasing after him, Wang Dali finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, such a fat guy, I bet he can't run fast."

However, at that moment, a mocking voice came from beside his ear.

"Hey hey, don't run, how unappetizing all that sweaty stink is."

This voice exploded in his ears like thunder, sending chills from Wang Dali's scalp to his feet.

"How is this possible, how did he catch up to me?"

Wang Dali was horrified, because he had felt no one approaching from behind, but goddamn, what was this thing?

"Die!" Wang Dali could no longer suppress the terror in his heart and crazily unleashed his spiritual energy to the limit, striking at the monstrous figure's corpulent body.

"Bang"

Wang Dali felt his fist hit something soft and cushy, and his heart leaped with joy, thinking that this guy was just a paper tiger.

But what happened next was terrifying; his arm was being slowly consumed by that corpulent body.

On that doughy belly appeared something akin to a spatial door, and a sucking force pulled his entire body in.

"Damn it! What's going on!"

Wang Dali tried to pull his arm out of the fatty, but no matter how hard he tried, not only did his arm not come out, his body was also gradually sucked in.

"Monster, monster!"

Wang Dali was almost scared witless, struggling desperately, but the more he struggled, the stronger the suction became.

Finally, accompanied by a scream, Wang Dali was completely sucked into the monster's belly.

Content, the fatty patted his stomach, revealing a look of satisfaction on his face.

"This one's purity isn't bad at all, big sis will definitely love it."

At that moment, several more people approached from a distance.

Seeing those people, the fatty licked his lips, displaying a greedy expression: "Looks like more prey has arrived."

As his voice fell, the fatty's body disappeared from the spot once again.

…

The next day, the Kunlun Combat Tournament continued.

This time, the battles to advance from the top sixteen to the top eight were to be decided in single matches.

Today, the audience's enthusiasm was even higher because there was a good chance high-level confrontations would occur.

In addition to paying attention to the performances of the seeded players, the crowd was also very much looking forward to Lin Chen and Zhao Xiaohua, the dark horses of the competition.

Lin Chen looked at the big screen; his opponent this time was a woman, and this woman seemed to be incredibly popular.

The moment she stepped onto the stage, there was a burst of applause from the men below.

The girl in green was called Li Muqing, and indeed, she was very beautiful.

With her graceful curves and fairy-like face, her transcendent aura immediately captivated all the male spectators the moment she appeared.

In terms of strength, Bai Ling might be first, but in terms of beauty, Fairy Biyao Li Muqing was unrivaled.

It was even said that Bai Ling and Xiao Jian, the top two experts ranked on the list of extraordinary figures, had both pursued Li Muqing, only to be rejected by her.

The fact that she could reject the top two masters from the list of extraordinary figures showed just how proud Li Muqing was.

"Tsk tsk, Lin Chen's lucky to have encountered Li Muqing."

"Haha, but it's both good luck and bad luck. Li Muqing is in the top five of the extraordinary figure rankings; I'm afraid Lin Chen's run as a dark horse ends here."

"To lose to Fairy Biyao is also a stroke of fortune for him, Lin Chen. If it were me, I would gladly take a beating from her!"

A buzz of discussion arose among the crowd, with some reveling in Lin Chen's misfortune, others envying him, but no one believed Lin Chen would continue to create miracles.

Although Li Muqing was ranked fifth on the leaderboard, she had unexpectedly received some kind of heritage half a year ago, and it was said her strength had greatly increased.

A month ago, Xiao Jian had taken 999 roses to Jade Maiden Peak to find Li Muqing.

Li Muqing's exact words were, "If you can defeat me, then I will be your girlfriend."

As a result, Xiao Jian was defeated by Li Muqing in just a single move.

Lin Chen had just managed to defeat Xiao Jian after a tough fight, but Li Muqing had won in one move, which was enough evidence that Li Muqing was even more powerful.

On the stage, Lin Chen's eyes slyly sized up the beauty before him.

"Hmm, she's pretty, about on par with Zhao Xiaowen and Zhao Xiaohua. The only difference is that this girl gives off an aloof vibe."

"Where exactly are those eyes of yours looking?" Li Muqing's expression darkened as she saw Lin Chen's gaze lingering on her figure.

"You're my opponent, of course, I have to look at you. It's not like I'm supposed to fight you with my eyes closed," Lin Chen said with a laugh.

"Sharp-tongued! I'll make you pay for that," Li Muqing retorted coldly.

"Really? Beautiful, it seems like you're on your period; do you need me to go easy on you?" Lin Chen suddenly said with a smile.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Muqing's cheeks flushed with embarrassment: "What nonsense are you talking about, how do you know if I'm on my...?"

Lin Chen smirked mischievously: "Guessing. Having a period requires calm recuperation; otherwise, menstrual irregularities could cause troublesome complications."

"Shut your mouth!" Li Muqing's face turned a deeper shade of red, and suddenly she disappeared from her spot.

"Damn!" Lin Chen's expression changed as he watched Li Muqing vanish, "This lass is also a spatial attribute!"
