Chapter 1072: Stolen?

Will I die?

This thought surfaced in the Silver King's mind.

The last time he had this sense of life-and-death despair was I don't know how many years ago, when he was being hunted by the Gray King... At that time, neither of them had stepped onto the demigod position, and the Gray King wasn't the Gray King yet. That time, he was hunted by the Gray King, fleeing all the way from the South Sea Domain to the Aurora Domain, almost losing his life several times.

Since stepping onto the demigod position, the Silver King had almost never thought he would die, because he was too strong. He held the complete Thief God Path and could be called omnipotent. After establishing the Fire-Tamperers, he even called himself the "End Thief God," the very pinnacle of the Thief God Path!

He considered himself to have jumped out of the category of humans and become a "god," so he never cared about the safety of ordinary humans. After all, even if the Gray Realm intersected and the domain perished, he could still preserve himself without being affected... What he pursued was only a more powerful, higher-level realm.

Only what belonged to him was real.

But the appearance of the Red King shattered all his fantasies...

"No... I won't die." The Silver King coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and directly "stole" his own heart, gripping it in his hand.

The path of the Red God possesses the ultimate "stealing" ability, which can take out the heart from a distance without dying. After the Silver King stole his heart, he backhanded a chess piece of the Chess God Path into the wound, directly sealing the injury, preventing his vitality from continuing to flow under the Gray King's moonlight blade, and then stuffed his heart back into his body.

"I was able to survive back then and turn the tables in a desperate situation at the last moment... This time, I will definitely be able to too!"

A flash of brilliance shone in the Silver King's eyes. He didn't tangle with the Gray King at all, nor did he think about facing the Red King. Instead, he directly raised his hand to tear open a gap in the chessboard and disappeared without a trace with a flicker of his figure.

The Gray King, shrouded in moonlight, saw this, and her eyes narrowed slightly...

The injury she left on the Silver King was already fatal, but the Silver King was a Thief God Path demigod after all. Wanting to solve it completely with one assassination was almost impossible... In the end, although the Gray King now had demigod-level power, she lacked God Path self-proof and wasn't a Tier 9 in the true sense.

But what the Gray King didn't expect was that just now, when the Silver King was seriously injured, there was clearly a chance for a one-hit kill, but the Red King didn't make a move...

"He returned to the Wuji Domain," a cold voice sounded. She turned back to look at the opera-robed youth standing not far away. "Based on my understanding of him, he won't be willing to run away like this... If nothing goes wrong, he should be going to..."

The Red King didn't answer.

He just looked calmly in the direction the Silver King left, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

In the haze, Chen Ling slowly opened his eyes.

"Junior Brother, you're finally awake?" Ning Ruyu looked at him with concern. Seeing Chen Ling wake up, a flash of joy crossed his eyes. "How do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

"I just..."

Chen Ling held his forehead and sat up from the ground, trying hard to recall in his mind.

Chen Ling only remembered that after he fired the shot to solve the Farmer, he lost consciousness, and he was muddled the whole time until just now... This familiar feeling made Chen Ling realize something immediately.

Promoted?

Chen Ling looked down at himself. At this time, he was already emitting a Tier 5 aura, and there was some information about new skills in his mind. It seemed he had indeed entered a state of promotion out of control just now.

"It's okay, Junior Brother, nothing big happened," End Corner comforted him softly from the side.

Chen Ling got up and scanned the surroundings, finding that except for the several Arbitrator Proxies whose expressions toward him were a bit subtle, everyone else was normal. It seemed that when he was out of control just now, he didn't do anything earth-shattering.

But then again, he was just promoting to Tier 5, and with so many Tier 8s present, plus his Senior Brothers and Sisters sitting in town, it would be hard to make any waves...

"Heart..." Jian Changsheng leaned into his ear and said with a strange expression, "You're really not acting like a human anymore, are you?!!"

Chen Ling: ???

Jian Changsheng remembered that the last time Chen Ling went crazy out of control, he was at least a proper human form. This time, he actually turned directly into a red paper monster... Could it be that the [Not Acting Like a Human] path at the time was about to come true?

Just as Chen Ling was about to ask him something, the assassin Cui Ran suddenly spoke:

"The 'bridge' is built; the public can start to evacuate."

Hearing this news, the several Tongtian Star-rank possessors present brightened up.

"Then let's start. Although there is no big threat in the Wuji Domain now, the Silver King has no trace. If he comes up with some other damaging tricks, it will be troublesome," Li Shengmen nodded slightly.

"What is a 'bridge'?" Jian Changsheng's attention was drawn away, and he asked suspiciously.

Facing the question of a "Twilight Agency member," the expressions of the several Tongtian Star-rank possessors were a bit strange. After all, from the standpoint, they were undoubtedly enemies... But thinking that they had fought side by side just now, they still answered:

"It's a void channel that can transfer the public to a safe place outside the city."

"Space teleportation? Has your Tongtian Tower already researched such powerful things?" Jian Changsheng opened his mouth wide.

"It's not teleportation, just building a void bridge... You can understand it as entering another space after stepping on this bridge. You won't be attacked by the real world, but if you want to go from one end of the bridge to the other, you still need to walk there yourself."

"Oh..."

After solving the Arbitrator Proxies and controlling the Wuji Domain, the atmosphere of the crowd was much more relaxed. The Tongtian Star-rank possessors were busy with the evacuation of the public, the Twilight Agency members began to mock and pull at each other, and Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua lay on the ground peacefully, one on the left and one on the right, as if they had passed away for some time.

Chen Ling swept his peripheral vision and saw the Butcher walking straight toward here, extending a hand toward him.

"...What for?" Chen Ling blinked.

"Mr. Chen, thank you very much for waking us up and helping us find our memories... But that knife is the Dao Foundation secret treasure of our Power God Path, and it is also the foundation of the domain, which is crucial... So..." The Butcher pursed his lips, and on that face full of flesh, stiff and rigid, a rare hint of embarrassment appeared,

"So... please return the secret treasure to me."

"Oh oh... Dao Foundation secret treasure, right?" Chen Ling nodded repeatedly, and then his hands began to fumble on his body, as if looking for something. "You wait a moment, let me find it for you..."

Seeing Chen Ling so readily willing to return the bone-cleaving knife, the Butcher felt a bit embarrassed. However, a full half-minute later, Chen Ling was still fumbling on his body...

"Strange, I clearly put it right here..."

"Oh no..."

Chen Ling looked up into his eyes, his tone more serious than ever before, "Your Dao Foundation treasure seems to have been stolen by the Silver King."

Butcher: ?????
