Clark had never in his entire life been as enraged as he was now.

Clark spoke in a terrifying voice, as if a devil had emerged from the depths of hell to seek vengeance:

•"You son of a whore! You fear facing me, so you hide behind your poisons! The truth is, you cannot attack me!"

Zhao Fan arrogantly replied:

•"So what if I know? In the end, you can't attack me now! I expect you'll cut off your own hand out of fear of the poison!"

But Clark laughed like a madman:

•"Fhahahahaha! Ke ke ke ke ke! I've never heard a joke like this in my entire life!"

•"Listen to me, I will drag you with me to the deepest pits of hell, and you will regret it! You will wish for death but you will never obtain it!"

Clark's eyes were burning red with a demonic aura.

Suddenly, Clark's manifestation appeared - The World!!!

All the elders who were watching, including Chu Chenqi, looked on in terror. One question echoed in all their minds:

•"How does he possess a manifestation of such majesty when he's just a youth at the peak of the Enlightenment realm!!!"

The world shook! The earth generated a powerful force that made Clark's leap formidable.

Clark's appearance was terrifying as he hovered in the air:

•"Phantom King's Fist! Heaven-Stealing Strikes!!!!"

Clark's voice thundered.

Black mist appeared in the sky.

Zhao Fan looked on in terror, anticipating the fatal move that would be directed at him.

The energy flowing from Clark's body was terrifying, but his injury was worse. Blood flowed from Clark's mouth, yet his stance didn't falter. His back was bent in the air like a mad devil.

Clark roared terrifyingly:

•"Horeiheih!"

Soon, several dark fists formed in the sky. Song was terrified and Zhao Fan feared.

Song said to the elders beside him:

•"Have you ever seen a combat art like this in your entire lives?"

Bam bam bam !!!!!

Half the area was destroyed by these strikes.

The dust cleared and Zhao Fan appeared severely injured, but the poisons still protected his body.

Zhao Fan laughed arrogantly. The air was contaminated with poisons; several trees had rotted due to this gaseous poison:

•"Is this all you have? It seems you will die before me!"

Clark laughed and said:

•"Well then, let me show you something even crazier! As I said before, I will drag you with me to the deepest pits of hell, and when I said that, believe me, I mean it!!!"

Thoughts were fading from Clark's eyes. Fear of death, horror, everything was lost.

A body moving with a flame of anger.

Zhao Fan surrounded himself with poisons from all directions, but he didn't expect that hand that would emerge from the poison mist and choke him forcefully.

With his left hand, Clark directed several punches:

•"Hahahahahahaha! You see? This is real combat! We sacrifice our lives! That's the pleasure of killing! I will crush every bone in your body without mercy!"

Signs of poison appeared all over his body, and more and more signs of Qi suffocation appeared.

Zhao Fan screamed in a terrified voice:

•"Acid Dragon! Come out and melt his body!"

An acid dragon emerged, but Clark laughed and said:

•"World! Come out! Stop time!!!!"

Boom!!!!

The sound of time stopping was loud.

Clark looked devilishly at Zhao Fan.

The place was in ruins. The gazes and forms of everyone were frozen.

It truly deserved the name "The World," for the possessor of this terrifying manifestation could move in the frozen world.

Ten seconds!

Clark directed countless punches without stopping.

Bam bam bam !!!!

Zhao Fan's body was deformed.

Clark's body was poisoned more and more.

Time returned.

Everyone looked on in terror. No one understood what had happened.

But the most terrifying: the human mass that became covered in poisons and half its face deformed.

Half of Clark's face was injured by the Acid Dragon, and intense burns appeared on his face, which was laughing like a devil standing proudly, preparing to deliver the fatal blow.

But soon a powerful blow was directed to Clark's face.

It was Han Song, who saved his disciple at the last moment. Clark had fainted.

Han Song said:

•"True, you struck my disciple cruelly, but as long as this was a fair man-to-man fight, I will let you die slowly."

Jian Hua rushed after Han Song and his disciple left.

He grabbed Clark's injured body. His veins were exploding with blood due to his severe injuries.

Soon white scarves appeared and grabbed Clark's half-dead body.

It was Chu Chenqi who had tried to disguise herself as Chenq Haiya.

She took his body to treat him!!!!!!

---

Clark felt a terrible pain in the middle of his face. He didn't understand what was happening, but he opened his eyes. He was wearing clothes similar to his usual ones but white. Clark looked around, confused. He touched his face - the left half of his face had been deformed by the fire, but Clark didn't care; instead, he was happy that thanks to the deformation of half his face, no one would recognize him as Clark, and due to the poison, his left eye had turned terrifyingly red.

He kept looking around to see what had happened, finding himself in his hut sleeping on his bed. He found Chu Chenqi sleeping on a chair.

Clark touched her shoulder, trying to wake her:

•"Chu Chenqi, wake up."

Clark realized he had made a big mistake by mentioning her real name.

Chu Chenqi looked at him waking up in surprise. She avoided the point of him mentioning her real name and said:

•"I will leave, since I've treated you. In the end, I don't like dealing with thieves like you."

Clark was angry. All he could think about was tearing her to pieces.

He thought to himself:

•"True, I can tear her apart now. True, she is strong and might be at the Void Transformation stage, but I'm at the peak of the Enlightenment realm and can confront those at this level."

•"I will get the Buddhist Elixir no matter the cost."

He suddenly charged, his hand pumping with demonic aura. But soon Chu Chenqi turned to Clark in surprise, who dissipated his killing intent and aura from his hand.

What happened was that he removed the veil from half her face, revealing her beautiful face and pink lips. Beauty beyond imagination that Clark had never seen before. With her crimson hair that wasn't even red but crimson similar to blood.

Clark looked with terrifying admiration. He remembered even his lie when he said that beauty of eyes indicates a person's beauty.

But a tear fell from Chu Chenqi's eye, which surprised Clark, who tried to justify saying:

•"Chu Chenqi, I didn't mean to... there was a fly on your shoulder and I tried to remove it from you."

But Chu Chenqi directed a harsh slap to Clark. Clark touched his face in surprise:

•"What did I do? I just removed her veil, you fool!"

But Clark didn't know that the women of this clan, if a man removes their veil, they must marry him. He didn't know naturally.

But Clark felt that the pain he had been feeling in his foundation had disappeared. Was it because he had been treated? But unfortunately, the pain soon returned to him.

He went out to see Chu Chenqi because the pain was unbearable. Chu Chenqi looked at him from afar; she was angry and thought he was pretending. But soon she saw Clark collapsing before her, so she rushed and grabbed him.

Clark was trembling terribly. The veins in his body were writhing.

Chu Chenqi, who stabilized Clark's body on the bed and sat behind him, said:

•"It seems there's no choice, for your illness can only be treated with this."

She took out the Buddhist Elixir. Clark looked at her happily. His lifesaver was now before him. Happiness filled Clark's heart.

Chu Chenqi opened the cover, and a scent flowed with its beautiful blue color. It was a scent that brought beauty and comfort.

Clark sipped one drop, felt a terrible strength and intense warmth.

Soon Chu Chenqi began pumping her Qi into Clark's back, who in turn began using her Qi to purify his body of any impurities.

After an hour passed:

•"Thank you, Chu Chenqi, if it weren't for you, I would be dead now."

Chu Chenqi looked at him firmly, saying:

•"Why did you lie to me? You could have been honest with me. Also, how do you know my real name?"

Clark replied with a sigh:

•"What do you think about going out on this moonlit night? I'll tell you everything about me."

Chu Chenqi nodded in agreement and they went out.

The cold breezes in the forest and the view of the stars were truly beautiful as they walked. Clark began talking:

•"Before I came here, I actually didn't want this place from the beginning, as my destination was elsewhere."

•"But I was pursued and my brother was killed in cold blood."

•"Amid my fighting, despite my hard-won victory, I emerged with an injury to my foundation and suffered because whenever I used my power, I would suffer cruelly, and that tortured me severely."

Clark narrated the rest of the story, how he met the clan mistress and she told him about her, but the part about the brother's death was a lie to attract attention to him and also to hide that he had been tasked with pursuing her and obtaining the Buddhist Elixir.

Chu Chenqi felt sad for him, saying:

•"When you first came, I saw signs of cunning in you."

•"But when I saw your kindness with me, I knew your feelings were genuine and not false. But why were you pursued?"

Clark replied with a harsh face:

•"One of the bastards held a grudge against me and wanted to take revenge on me because I crushed his face."

•"But the scarier is the mind of the mastermind, for that man is characterized by cunning and despicable traits."

Chu Chenqi replied:

•"It seems your whole life is problems you can't deal with."

Clark replied:

•"Since I set foot on the demonic path, I've seen nothing but calamities."

•"Unlike everyone else, I have no paradise to escape to."

•"I have only combat and loneliness."

•"Sometimes, if you seek success, it will condemn you to great loneliness and merciless calamities."

•"It's said that because those on the demonic path see the truth of the world, it caused the wrath of the gap of destiny and the will of heaven."

•"So everyone's destinies are governed by fate without any way out of the false reality that was written from the beginning before our birth. So the truth is you're miserable and life won't spare you. Your life is limited, your loved ones are limited. So what's the purpose? What's the point of sadness? Is it for our development as humans or just to plant fear in ourselves?"

Chu Chenqi looked with shining eyes; she felt that Clark's words had touched what was inside her heart in a sad way.

But...

Boom!!!!

There was the sound of a mad explosion, and a cold ice aura flowed.

Soon Chu Chenqi said in terror:

•"It's Sister Chu Zhenren in combat!"

Soon she rushed, and Clark followed behind her. He knew what had happened, he said cunningly in his mind:

•"It's Poison Master Han Song!"

•"I knew, for an alchemy expert like me knows the reason for his fight. He wants the Buddhist Root to become immortal."

•"For the healing capabilities of these Buddhist fluids are capable of granting unparalleled healing abilities."

•"But I feel there's a reason in this story. Certainly, there's a third party, and certainly I'll discover it no matter the cost."

The two arrived, and indeed it was Chu Zhenren against Han Song, who was injured like the Elder Chu, but the Elder's injury was more dangerous.

Soon Han Song rushed to finish off Chu Zhen, but received an icy palm in the middle of the chest:

•"Han Song, I won't allow you to kill my sister!!!"

Clark was watching from afar. He didn't intend to intervene like this.

Clark noticed a strange jar around Han Song's waist, he said in his mind:

•"When he came to save his disciple, he wasn't carrying it."

•"Meaning this is his trump card that he relies on. Yes, without any doubt."

Soon a strange old man with a long mustache appeared, and finally the clan's female elders appeared.

Han Song said in a strong voice:

•"Oh Qiu Ran, don't interfere in what doesn't concern you. This matter is between me and this whore."

Killing intent flowed from Han Song, who desired violent killing.

Qiu Ran said:

•"These two girls are like my children, and I won't allow you to kill them."

•"And don't forget that my intent managed to restrain you that day."

Han Song replied laughing:

•"Or have you forgotten who made you lose the hand you were boasting about? Anyway, I'm not arrogant, for you are many and I am a lone man."

Han Song grabbed the jar in his hand. Soon Qiu Ran said:

•"Well, Han Song, you can leave. In the end, without the Jade Tower, you weren't addicted to alchemy competitions."

•"To get an honorable competition and compete with opponents, so I present. In the end, we are all guests here."

Han Song reluctantly agreed as he left, saying:

•"Oh Chu Chenqi, you will regret deeply that you didn't hand me the Buddhist Root."

Clark came and said:

•"Lick my shoe, you damned old man! In the end, you only attack people from behind."

Clark said this in a low voice so Han Song wouldn't hear him.

Elder Hu Lian said:

•"At least if you want to insult him, say it out loud."

Clark replied:

•"Well, since I'm done, I will leave here and you won't see me again."

Soon Clark was choked by a white scarf. He looked at who was choking him; it was Chu Chenqi who said with a smile:

•"I'm sorry, for from now on my problems are your problems. You won't run far away."

Clark was angry and felt bored because he got involved in such problems.

---

After Clark was pulled away, they arrived inside the Jade Tower Palace. It was beautifully magnificent.

But what shocked Clark was Chu Chenqi's elegant dress. Truly, her body was jade-like, beautiful, and classy.

But Chu Chenqi broke the silence, saying:

•"Huang Bo Feng Li will come!!!"

Clark replied:

•"And who is this Huang Bo?"

Hua Lian replied:

•"He is the young son of the Imperial Dragon Clan."

Clark laughed in his mind:

•"So here he is! Remember Han Song's words."

•"It's clear that this family wants the Buddhist Root, and I will deter them."

•"Because I want this great root."

•"But there's a great problem, for that family, I don't know what's before them and what's behind them."

•"But certainly they have hidden ambitions, and I want to know those ambitions."

•"And certainly one of them is the Buddhist Root."

•"I wonder what's the secret behind this root? If it harms me, I don't mind destroying it."

•"Why? Because if you can't bear carrying something in your hands, then simply destroy it and prevent everyone from obtaining it, for a beneficial thing is a great harm."

But Chu Chenqi had let the tiger into her den, and that would bring him problems.

•"Well, I won't care and will wait for what comes."

After a long discussion, Chu Chenqi said:

•"Well, we will stick to the plan."

Clark, who had been distracted the whole time, asked:

•"What were you talking about?"

But soon Hua Lian interrupted Clark, saying:

•"How dare you hit my dear disciple Xian Haiya?"

Clark replied with all arrogance:

•"Because she's a whore! And control your disciple so I don't smash this palace over your heads."

Soon he felt a strange sting; it was a strong pinch. Clark turned to see who was pinching him; it was Chu Chenqi who pulled Clark.

The feelings of the two clashed with each other. Clark with his black long hair and his dark black eye, and Chu Chenqi with her crimson hair and green eyes.

Chu Chenqi said:

•"Be silent, Zu Long, for I'm not done with you yet."

Hua Lian laughed, saying:

•"Punish him severely, Chu Chenqi, he deserves it."

---

A full day passed exactly. It was noon time. A strange royal procession arrived.

Everyone went out to receive them. Clark knew who this man was: It was Huang Bo Feng Li.

But that Huang was in his special carriage releasing a reckless killing intent without any reason. Everyone felt it.

No one dared to respond to that killing intent with another killing intent, except Clark who didn't care, but responded to the killing intent with its like. Clark's killing intent was in fact much stronger, more agitated, for Clark is truly a devil who doesn't care about others.

Everyone moved away from Clark.

Huang Bo Feng Li came out saying:

•"Who dares to show killing intent before my excellency?"

The matter was clear because everyone had moved away from Clark out of fear of death. Han Yuan said:

•"That boy's matter is finished."

The eyes of the two met each other, announcing an upcoming political war!
