74: It was just eaten, it shouldn't die, right?

Gu Qingyi looked in the direction Ouyang Yaoxi pointed.

"Mo Dong is dead?!" Gu Qingyi's expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to check.

Mo Dong's head was hanging low, with a blood-red vertical line on his forehead.

"If that's the case, then Wang Ming should be fine." Ouyang Yaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the Xuantian Sect Disciples, Mo Dong's combat strength was in a league of its own.

If even he was killed by Wang Ming, the others wouldn't pose any threat to Wang Ming at all!

"No, he might be fine now, but after leaving the Secret Realm, the trouble might be even greater," Gu Qingyi said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Ouyang Yaoxi also realized the situation, and her expression turned a bit sour.

The Disciples who entered the Secret Realm were almost all the elite of the elite.

But now, they were all dead!

For any Sect, this was an incalculable loss!

Not to mention that the Xuantian Sect was notoriously protective of its own; even if it were the Qingxin Palace or the Lingjian Pavilion, they would still erupt in fury over such a thing.

"Then what should we do?" Ouyang Yaoxi suddenly grew anxious.

Gu Qingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Deny everything!"

"Including us, no one saw Wang Ming kill them. As long as we deny it to the end, in the absence of evidence, even if the Xuantian Sect wants to make trouble, Revered Master won't just stand by and watch."

Gu Qingyi's thinking was clear.

"As long as Wang Ming isn't immediately taken into custody by the Xuantian Sect, there's a chance. At worst, he can just leave. With his talent, he can come back in a few years. By then, even if the Xuantian Sect finds out it was Wang Ming who killed those people, what can they do?"

After listening to Gu Qingyi's analysis, Ouyang Yaoxi's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, agreeing that her Senior Sister was absolutely right.

"This is no place to linger. Let's get out of here first."

The two looked at each other and quickly sped away.

They knew these people were killed by Wang Ming, but if they were seen now, they might end up taking the blame... Chen Ye lay on the ground, his right hand broken, his left hand suffering a comminuted fracture, and a fist-sized puncture wound in his abdomen.

It was only a hair's breadth away from affecting his Dantian.

He didn't even have the strength to move a single finger now.

"Revered Master, if you don't wake up this time, your Disciple is truly going to die here."

Chen Ye called out in his heart unwillingly.

He still had many things to do.

His divine technique was incomplete, his body unhealed, and his great vengeance unavenged... "I can't die yet!"

Chen Ye didn't know where the strength came from, but he actually forced himself up from the ground.

As he climbed up, a tiny but extremely powerful strand of golden spiritual energy erupted from his heart and merged into his Dantian.

"This is..."

Chen Ye was shocked, not understanding where this sudden burst of power had come from.

But then, he was overjoyed.

Although the amount of power was small, its quality was exceptionally high.

Just a single strand allowed him to recover to about twenty or thirty percent of his Peak state!

With this power, he might still have a slim chance of survival!

"Escape!"

Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and ran.

He sped towards the direction where he had encountered those few Qingxin Palace Disciples earlier.

In his current state, blindly running away wasn't a long-term solution.

To save his life, he had to find reinforcements!

"As expected of a Child of Destiny; even in this state, he still has the strength to run."

Witnessing all this, Wang Ming was also somewhat speechless.

The Protagonist Halo is still a bit too overpowered.

A situation that would be certain death for ordinary people becomes an Opportunity for these Children of Destiny instead.

At that moment, he clearly felt an extremely powerful aura fluctuation within Chen Ye's body.

This aura didn't belong to the mysterious expert inside the ring.

Instead, it felt more like some kind of powerful Vicious Beast.

Because the first to detect this power wasn't Wang Ming's Divine Sense, but his Desolate War Body... Bolstered by that mysterious power, Chen Ye's speed was actually several times faster than his Peak state.

The giant toad gradually lost ground.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he shook it off.

"Useless."

Wang Ming snorted coldly and had to use his Divine Sense again to restrain the giant toad and hurl it at Chen Ye.

"Is this f*cking right?!"

When Chen Ye saw the toad suddenly act as if it were cheating, catching up to him almost instantly and blocking his path, he felt utterly terrible.

But he didn't have time to think; several silver needles appeared in his mouth, which he spat out fiercely at the toad.

The toad's tongue lashed out, and the silver needles were instantly deflected.

Chen Ye never expected his attack to work. Taking advantage of the moment it parried the needles, he flickered past the toad and continued running forward.

But this time, the toad was clearly prepared.

It opened its large mouth and spat a purple liquid at Chen Ye.

It was incredibly fast, like a sharp arrow, hitting Chen Ye's back instantly.

The liquid itself wasn't very powerful, but it was highly toxic.

Chen Ye's body suddenly trembled, and he collapsed to the ground, twitching as if he'd suffered a stroke.

"Ribbit!"

The toad leaped forward, landing in front of Chen Ye, and its tongue lashed out, swallowing him whole.

"He was just eaten, he shouldn't die, right?"

Seeing this, Wang Ming's eyebrows shot up.

The System's choice was only to severely injure Chen Ye. If he died, wouldn't the reward go down the drain?

But on second thought, this was a Child of Destiny protected by the Heavenly Dao; how could he die so easily!

He just waited quietly.

Half an hour passed before the System's notification sounded.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the choice! Reward obtained: tribulation crossing pill *1!]"

A purple Medicinal Pill appeared inside the System space.

"It's time."

The moment the System prompt sounded, Wang Ming's Divine Sense landed on the toad.

"Ribbit!"

The toad immediately let out a pained shriek.

Under the pulling force of the Divine Sense, its body was forcibly torn apart!

Chen Ye's body fell out.

His entire body was covered in a layer of slimy liquid.

Along with half-digested mushy remains of various Vicious Beasts.

"His vitality is truly tenacious."

Wang Ming complained and was about to leave when he suddenly paused.

Within the range of his Divine Sense, several figures appeared.

The two leading them were none other than Gu Qingyi and Ouyang Yaoxi.

He glanced back at Chen Ye. "Seeing the Child of Destiny like this, the two Female Leads probably won't feel a thing for him for the rest of their lives, right?"

Wang Ming, who had intended to leave, descended again, deciding to watch this good show with his own eyes.

Soon, with several sounds of breaking air, Gu Qingyi, Ouyang Yaoxi, and a few Qingxin Palace Disciples appeared on the scene.

"Wang Ming? Are you alright?"

Seeing Wang Ming, Ouyang Yaoxi rushed over immediately, looking him up and down nervously.

Seeing that even the hem of his clothes wasn't dirty, she finally felt relieved.

At that moment, a strange voice came from one of the Qingxin Palace Disciples.

"Is... is this Junior Brother Chen Ye?!"
