"You may not agree, and we don’t care," Khloe Miller believed she had Yusuf Zuck’s Achilles’ heel, and so she remained fearless.
However, no sooner had she finished speaking than Yusuf Zuck flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly, "Then there’s nothing more to discuss."
"What? Are you not worried about the safety of your two women? Afraid I’ll take them back to Element World and marry them off to someone else?" Khloe Miller’s expression also darkened.
"Very afraid!" Yusuf Zuck nodded, "But I can’t compromise with you." Yusuf Zuck said firmly, "I have, once, killed a woman I loved with my own hands; hence if my women ever betray me, if they become unforgivable, then one day, I too will kill them!"
"Of course, the reason I won’t compromise with you is that I cannot die because I still have a family, a sister, relatives and friends. So, if I died, they would all follow suit."
"So I would rather betray Paisley Kirk and Lara Tuff than fail my many loved ones!"
"Uh..." Khloe Miller was rendered speechless by Yusuf Zuck’s words, and in fact, the situation was exactly so; if Yusuf Zuck really compromised, then he truly might die. Even if Khloe Miller didn’t kill Yusuf Zuck, the people from this Origin Star System would hunt him down.
Thus, Yusuf Zuck would rather sacrifice the lives or happiness of two women than let himself die.
"Fine, all you need to do is agree to take us to your hometown, and also, you shall no longer intervene in matters of the Origin Star System. This is our biggest concession!" Although Khloe Miller was very curious about what was inside Yusuf Zuck’s head, the high echelons of the Element World did not want to know; they only wanted to go to the Ruins of the Gods.
The Ruins of the Gods was their ultimate goal; compared to things like the Book of Earth and Soul Search, all of these were secondary, additional conditions that were optional. Official source is novel·fıre·net
"I need to speak with them alone!" Yusuf Zuck made his demand.
"Speaking alone is not possible, but I can let you see them one more time," Khloe Miller said indifferently.
Yusuf Zuck pondered for a moment, "That will do."
"Alright, come out." As Khloe Miller spoke, a wave of disturbance came from the west side of the void, their location changed again, opening a rift in the void right behind Yusuf Zuck!
As the rift gradually widened, Yusuf Zuck once again saw seven women.
And just as Yusuf Zuck laid eyes on Paisley Kirk and Mia in an instant, his whole body shuddered, and then he fiercely shouted, "Time halt!"
"Splash—" How could Yusuf Zuck simply capitulate? His pretense of weakness was truly to plot a killing!
The void was frozen instantly, even including the rift itself.
Knowing that time waits for no one, Yusuf Zuck stepped into the rift and grabbed the arms of both Paisley and Mia!
With a "whoosh," he pulled both women out of the rift.
And in that instant, Khloe Miller and the other six women’s heads were suddenly surrounded by radiance, emitting a crackling noise before the Spiritual Power shattered the halt in time.
After all, they did have some tricks up their sleeve, being from a higher plane, how could they not have any special skills?
Moreover, Paisley Kirk and Mia also came to their senses and let out a sharp cry, even showing signs of struggle.
Upon noticing the women’s struggle, Yusuf Zuck realized something was terribly wrong; they were no longer as close to him as before. If it had been the old days, Mia and Paisley would have been the most clingy to him. If he took their hands, they would have been delighted and wiggled with joy, not struggling at all.
"Hmph!" he stomped fiercely, "Time halt again!"
"Whoosh~" For the second time, he utilized the power to freeze time in its tracks.
Indeed, the people who had just begun to awaken were once again fixed in place by the time halt.
"Go!" Taking advantage of the two women’s lack of conscious thought, Yusuf Zuck directly sent them into the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky.
Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, that was the domain within his soul realm, so once they entered his domain, the two women couldn’t return to the higher planes and were completely suppressed.
At the same time, he finally made his move, he was set on killing—Khloe Miller, this woman, had to die!
He pushed out his palm, striking towards the woman’s chest with the most violent force. Despite her appearance of a Heavenly Immortal, she possessed a treacherous heart like that of a viper, and he, having killed his fair share of women over the years, showed no mercy at all.
And as he launched his Push Star Palm, Khloe Miller woke up more quickly and let out a horrified scream. Instantly, an apricot-yellow feather clothes, akin to an Imperial Robe, rapidly enveloped her body, and she spat out a bead towards Yusuf Zuck’s palm!
"Boom~" The bead collided with Yusuf Zuck’s Push Star Palm, and he felt a surge of energy release instantaneously, followed by a sweet taste in his throat.
At the same time, his Push Star Palm slowed down in speed and force. Of course, it still moved forward, for he was driven by a determination to kill, and now, no one could stop him from assassinating Khloe Miller!
"Bang~" In a fraction of an instant, his palm traversed the layers of void, and after successive explosions, it finally hit right beneath Khloe Miller’s chest. Her chest caved in as fresh blood spurted from her seven orifices, and the apricot-yellow feather clothes shattered with a deafening noise!
A trace of disappointment appeared in Yusuf Zuck’s eyes because his palm had failed to blow apart Khloe Miller’s flesh.
The bead, the feather clothes, they had blocked most of his Star Power, and Khloe herself also had formidable strength, so his Push Star Palm failed for the first time.
As Khloe was thrown backward like a kite with its string cut, her Karmic Fire emerged. This was the release from her restraints, the rules’ restraints, just like what happened with Wynter Snow in the Blue Sea Cloud before. Once the rules’ restraints were lifted, her strength would instantly return to its peak, and with the rule of Karma Fire Burning Body, she had to leave this plane within ten breaths to survive!
"Die!" Yusuf Zuck was unwilling to let her escape, so, employing the Mind Shuttle, he closed the distance to Khloe again and struck another palm!
"You little thief, I want you dead!" Contrary to Yusuf Zuck’s expectations, Khloe did not attempt to escape immediately. Instead, she roared and struck out more than a dozen palms in rapid succession. The palms formed multiple palm shadows that collided with Yusuf Zuck’s Push Star Palm.
Moreover, she drew the Ancient Sword and bit her tongue, licking the fresh blood from her tongue tip around the blade’s edge.
"Boom~" Once the sword was stained with her blood, it suddenly burst into beams of cyan light, coming alive with the roaring sound of dragons.
"Sword of Law-breaking, annihilate!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~" She swung the sword thrice, each slash generating Sword Qi that cleaved towards the Push Star Palm!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz~" It was at this moment that five flames appeared behind Yusuf Zuck, belonging to five fire women, who had also broken free from their restraints, shattered the rules, and brought their combat power to the highest level. Instead of fleeing, they chose to fight!
They believed they could fight for nine of their allotted ten breaths, leaving just one breath to return to the Element World!
"If you all wish to die, then die you all shall, change, change, change, change, change!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~" One after another, duplicates suddenly appeared behind the five fire women, and even one appeared behind Khloe Miller, unleashing a peerless sneak attack, Push Star, Push Star!
