A World Worth Protecting

“What am I going to do? You’ll find out soon.” Wang Baole let out a cough, and he looked increasingly evil while approaching Liang Long step by step.

“You… Don’t you come over!” Liang Long’s body trembled, and a chill went down his spine. Without hesitation, he wanted to retreat, as he felt that Wang Baole was a psycho. At the same time, he also began to regret provoking him. Right now, Wang Baole was taking out a rope with a creepy smile and was clearly behaving like a psychopath.

However, Liang Long was still too late in retreating. The instant he was about to escape, a chilly glow flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes, and he flailed the rope in his right hand hard.

“Tie him up!”

The moment Wang Baole spoke, the rope flew into the air with a red glow. It twisted in the air like a snake and was extremely frightening.

However, if one took a closer look, the rope didn’t immediately charge towards Liang Long the moment it was released. It seemed to hesitate, appearing to instinctively want to fly into the skies and hide somewhere.

Liang Long didn’t see the peculiarities with the rope, but Wang Baole noticed it clearly. He immediately pulled an angry face and was about to reprimand the rope. That was when Liang Long, frightened by the rope that was moving like a snake, screamed and retreated at an even faster speed, escaping from the island.

However… It wouldn’t have mattered if he didn’t try to run, but the moment he tried, the somewhat hesitant rope shook. If it were personified, it could be said that the rope’s eyes were instantly lit up and awakened. It agitatedly adjusted its direction, charging forward with a speed that shocked even Wang Baole as it arrived right before Liang Long.

“Get away from me!” Liang Long screamed loudly. His heart was trembling as he tried to struggle, but everything was futile. The rope was extremely flexible, and in a flash, it had coiled around him several times, tightening and tying him right up…

The moment the rope tied Liang Long up, the force of a seal was unleashed from the rope, cutting off all the Spirit Qi and sealing Liang Long’s cultivation in. In the blink of an eye, Liang Long was turned into a commoner, his body landing on the ground with a loud plop.

That made Liang Long quicken his breathing. He was extremely frightened and was about to scream for help. However, the moment he opened his mouth, one end of the rope wriggled into his mouth…

“Mmmm…!” Liang Long’s eyes widened, and perspiration formed on his forehead. He was physically powerless, and right now, with a rope in his mouth, he couldn’t make a sound. This feeling of helplessness was rarely experienced by him. That was especially so when he looked at Wang Baole with fear, as Wang Baole approached him with an evil smile. Liang Long trembled, having lost all hope as he wriggled his body backwards, instinctively trying to distance himself from Wang Baole.

However, that was his wishful thinking. Soon, Wang Baole gripped him by his hair and threw him in front of him. Wang Baole bent down, a smile on his face as he looked at the extremely frightened, trembling Liang Long.

“Liang Liang, tell daddy how you knew that I would come here so that you could ambush me?” Wang Baole patted his head as he spoke warmly.

The moment Wang Baole spoke, Liang Long widened his eyes, and he was thrown into a blur. He seemed to not know about Wang Baole’s habit of adopting sons all around. However, he reacted quickly. The sense of being insulted instantly replaced the fear in Liang Long’s eyes, and he stared angrily at Wang Baole.

“You don’t want to say anything? How mischievous.” Wang Baole shook his head. He sealed his hand and pointed towards the rope. Immediately, a glow emerged from the rope, wriggling continuously about Liang Long’s body on a large scale. Liang Long widened his eyes, revealing a look of disbelief. He stiffened his body and struggled greatly.

That wasn’t all. The other end of the rope emerged amidst everything, wriggling into Liang Long’s clothes and in the direction of his pants. Everything that was happening caused Liang Long to go crazy, and he screamed in anxiety and fear.

“Mmmmm!”

“You still don’t want to speak, huh?” Wang Baole sighed and was about to seal his hands. Liang Long was on the brink of tears and madness. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak. Instead, he couldn’t speak with the rope in his mouth.

“You want to speak now? I will give you the chance to say a sentence. You must think through it clearly, and tell me everything with ten words!” Wang Baole slapped Liang Long’s face and removed the rope from his mouth. The moment the rope was taken out, Liang Long spoke without hesitation.

“Information from Xie Haiyang, it cost a thousand battle credits!”

Ten words, no more, no less. From this, it could be seen that Liang Long was genuinely afraid of Wang Baole.

Listening to Liang Long’s words, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He thought about it and waved his right hand. Immediately, the rope wriggled into Liang Long’s mouth again. Even though he struggled hard and had kept his mouth shut, it was useless…

“As for you, relax. I won’t kill you. It’s such a nice, heaven-like place here. I’ll let you cultivate here.” Wang Baole smiled briefly. When he stood up, he kicked hard between Liang Long’s legs without warning!

With that kick, Liang Long trembled, his entire body curling up like a prawn. His eyes grew bloodshot, and he screamed painfully as if he was about to die from the pain.

“Remember this. Don’t provoke me,” Wang Baole said while smiling. However, that smile, in Liang Long’s eyes, was more frightening than that of a demon’s. He really understood this time that Wang Baole was a lunatic!

Wang Baole didn’t concern himself with Liang Long further. He didn’t even bother to ravage through his storage bag or steal his battle credits. He knew clearly that unless he killed someone, everything was meaningless as long as he was on the ancient greenish-bronze sword. Killing someone was easy, but the matters that followed would be most troublesome.

It’s not the time yet… With that thought, a chilly glow flashed across his eyes. He stepped on the ground and leaped into the air, flying out. The rope remained on Liang Long, as that wasn’t the end of the punishment.

Furthermore, he was connected to the rope. With a single thought, he could retract the rope. He didn’t have to be afraid of losing it. He also realized that the rope was suitable for free-range rearing.

Liang Long, on the other hand, after noticing that Wang Baole had left, finally caved physically and mentally and fainted from the pain. Even though he was unconscious, his body still trembled.

To Wang Baole, Liang Long’s appearance was a mere unexpected episode, and he didn’t care about it. However, as he flew towards the Dusty Vision Island, he took a look at his battle credits. He opened up the voice transmission jade slip and sent a voice transmission to Xie Haiyang.

“Brother Haiyang, your business is huge.”

Xie Haiyang seemed a little embarrassed and wanted to explain the situation.

“Brother Baole, I, Xie Haiyang, am just a businessman. This matter…”

“Say no more. Brother Haiyang, please remember… Things like this, which aren’t dangerous and can give me huge earnings, must be referred to me more! I’m very poor now!” Wang Baole turned, his voice filled with agitation and excitement.

That shocked Xie Haiyang briefly. He laughed, and his laughter grew louder. In the end, with seriousness in his voice, he spoke.

“Baole, happy working with you!”

“Likewise!” Wang Baole smiled and ended the voice transmission. His smile soon faded as he raised his head to look in the direction of Dusty Vision Island. He turned and charged towards that direction.

Several days later, Wang Baole arrived on Dusty Vision Island. He was a Core Formation realm cultivator and had sufficient battle credits, so he was soon teleported away. Half a month passed, and he went through a total of five teleportations. Finally, Wang Baole crossed the Sea of Fire and finally arrived at the body of the sword!

Right now, the Sea of Fire appeared calm. However, the temperature was very high, far exceeding that at the handle. The surrounding nothingness warped under the high temperature, and a defensive barrier made of flames appeared before him!

Beyond the protective layer, there was silence. Inside it, the heavens and earth were crashing, the lava flowing and the Sea of Fire churning while the mountains broke apart. The buildings were devastated, and it was chaos all around!

Passing the defensive barrier meant entering the body of the sword. To a certain extent, it meant entering the sun!

Outside the defensive barrier, Wang Baole remained silent for a few minutes. When he raised his head, a look of determination was seen. He stepped into the defensive barrier!
