Qinglong stood in this spacious room recovering his conviction for about a minute, then looked at Zhang Shan and Qiao Jiajin.

He knew he had already won this battle. Two people who had completely lost their rationality had no possibility of resistance whatsoever.

He slowly walked before Qiao Jiajin, stared into Qiao Jiajin’s eyes, extended his palm and swiftly slashed. A terrifying gash appeared on Qiao Jiajin’s throat, and blood began to spray out in large amounts, yet he remained expressionless.

“Hah…” Qinglong laughed as if facing a toy. “Mortals… simply like toys.”

Not knowing whether Qinglong was venting or truly feeling a hint of defeat, he extended both hands and kept swinging wildly, covering Qiao Jiajin’s body with terrifying wounds.

Flesh and blood began to fly everywhere, organs began to be exposed, and Qiao Jiajin’s face began to rapidly lose its color.

“How ridiculous…” Qinglong said again. “I am ‘Soul Seizing,’ how could you possibly fight me while carrying ‘Heavenly Vigor’? Even if you pierce your own ears deaf to avoid ‘Soul Seizing,’ under the effect of ‘Heavenly Vigor,’ your ears would recover again. Unless there exists in this world a deaf person carrying ‘Heavenly Vigor’… otherwise, no matter how many times you challenge me, you will lose.”

“There will be…” Qiao Jiajin murmured.

“…?”

These three brief words made Qinglong’s entire body freeze.

He looked at Qiao Jiajin somewhat incredulously, his expression full of doubt.

Had this man accidentally responded to his words… or did he…

“Qinglong…” Qiao Jiajin slowly raised his head. Those lifeless eyes gradually became filled with hatred. “There will be…”

Qinglong was startled and saw that the wounds on his body at this moment began to gradually recover. Although the recovery was very slow, there were indeed signs of gradual healing appearing.

“You…”

“I feel like Lord Guan is blessing me. Every time I’m about to go mad, new memories surface to awaken me.” Qiao Jiajin gave a bitter smile, and the injury on his neck recovered again. “Those memories not only awakened me, but also strengthened my conviction to fight you to the death.”

Although he didn’t quite understand what had happened to Qiao Jiajin, he indeed looked like he wasn’t affected by “Soul Seizing.”

“But you can’t win.” Qinglong said. “Even if you’ve recovered your rationality, even if you fight to the death until the end of the world, you still can’t win.”

After saying this, he slowly raised his hand, and Qiao Jiajin also uncontrollably raised his hand at this moment.

“See? With ‘Soul Seizing’ here, for the time remaining you won’t even be able to touch me.” Qinglong shook his head. “Might as well give up early and let me give you a quick death.”

“Yes… this is truly difficult. Even if the big guy and I work together, it’s still very difficult.” Qiao Jiajin said with a smile. “But it doesn’t matter anymore… I promised someone I would take your life, so even if I fight until the end of the world, I won’t leave.”

Qinglong frowned at Qiao Jiajin. “Even if you die… there’s no next cycle, you still won’t leave?”

“Not leaving.” Qiao Jiajin shook his head and revealed a face full of relief with a smile. “I remembered many things from the past, which led to me not knowing what attitude I should use to face my former friends. Thinking carefully about it, dying here should be the best ending I can think of.”

Zhang Shan also moved his body at this moment and blinked with difficulty. “Damn, what’s going on here… didn’t I already remember those memories… why are they making me go through it again… this place really doesn’t treat people like people…”

Qinglong’s expression darkened as he turned back to look at Zhang Shan. He hadn’t expected that the second troublemaker had also come back to life.

The injuries on both their bodies began to gradually recover, but their expressions were extremely weak.

Even so… they still showed no intention of giving up.

Qinglong’s entire body began to tremble slightly as he said in a hoarse voice, “You’ve really caused me enormous trouble… my great plan over all these years has been completely dragged down by you two…”

Although he was extremely angry, he was never able to instantly tear these two men apart, and his anxious mood also reached its peak at this moment.

“This is the reason why the two of us appeared here, isn’t it?” Qiao Jiajin raised his hand and clenched his fist. “Whether we can win or not, in any case, we won’t let you get your wish.”

Qinglong only felt that today he had constantly been stuck with disgusting, strange plasters. No matter what he wanted to do, someone would obstruct him.

“Forget it…” Qinglong said with a face full of despair. “You can’t dodge ‘Thunderbolt’ anymore now. Let me give you a quick death. I’ll just consider these ten-plus years as time spent eliminating obstacles, and can only look forward to victory next time.”

After saying this, he began to flash about, rapidly moving between the two of them. “When Tianlong wakes up, I’ll tell him that this was a rebellion I personally terminated.”

…

“Done…!”

Tiantian took a deep breath and opened her eyes weakly. Before her was already a nearly perfect wooden door with intricate patterns.

She stood up and took a step backward, but suddenly felt dizzy and nearly fell. Qi Xia and Chu Tianqiu each used one hand to support her.

“Don’t force yourself.” Qi Xia said. “Your ‘conviction’ has been overdrawn too much. Rest well. Later, I may still need you to help me with one last small favor.”

“Okay…” Tiantian nodded. Even she herself wasn’t quite clear about what was going on with this body. Clearly, it was just crafting a wooden door, yet it felt like in these short few minutes, all the strength in her body had been drained.

Qi Xia turned his head to look at Chu Tianqiu. “How is this door?”

Chu Tianqiu looked over the wooden door from top to bottom, then said, “I can’t see any problems. It’s very authentic. Should we go in now?”

“No rush. We need to ‘inspect the goods.'” Qi Xia nodded and picked up a piece of broken wood from the ground.

“There are so many fragments here. Did you fight with someone?” Chu Tianqiu asked. “These wounds on your body…”

“Accurately speaking, I fought with myself.” Qi Xia said. “But none of that matters. Don’t worry about me.”

After saying this, he used the wood chip to gently nudge the door handle.

With a “creak” and a muffled sound, two rooms that were originally completely unrelated seemed to bizarrely establish a connection at this moment. The scene inside the room was displayed before the three people through the narrow door crack.

It was Qinglong, Qiao Jiajin, and Zhang Shan.

The three people were rapidly moving at speeds impossible for humans to achieve within that space.

On those distant steps was their ultimate goal for this journey—Tianlong.

Tiantian was indeed able to replicate such an important door.

Qi Xia paused for a moment. He seemed to not notice Qinglong who was in the midst of battle at all. He just closed the door before they noticed the crack, then turned back to the two and said, “The mission has basically been completed. Next, invading Tianlong’s dream is the final step.”

“The mission… is completed?” Chu Tianqiu was stunned for a moment. “Qi Xia, didn’t you see… Qinglong is still alive.”

“He couldn’t die anyway.” Qi Xia shook his head. “Having someone hold him back is already the best result. Are you ready?”

Chu Tianqiu felt that counting from this door, reaching Tianlong’s position was probably only a mere few dozen steps. If sprinting at full strength, it would only require a very short amount of time.

Unfortunately, on this path was a Qinglong who looked like he had gone completely insane.
