In order to keep up with his pace, that silly girl risked death time and again, venturing into one deadly forbidden zone of the universe after another, searching for opportunities.

Each time, she faced life and death, each time she was covered in wounds.

Evan Clark still remembers that time when she returned from the most dangerous forbidden zone in the universe—her body was nearly torn apart, her breath was faint, and her blood had soaked her hair, turning it crimson. She was on the verge of death.

That time, it was the closest she had ever come to dying, and also the most heart-wrenching moment in Evan Clark's life.

Even after nearly dying, that silly girl still lay in his arms, smiling foolishly, sweet and infatuated:

“Brother, Holly Clark's talent is ordinary. Only by seeking opportunities in the forbidden zones of death can I keep up with you! Holly Clark doesn't ask to rule the universe with you, I just want, when you stand at the peak of the cosmos, for Holly Clark to still have the right to look up to you, to still be able to admire you!”

She was just that silly, willing to use her own life to follow in the footsteps of the one she loved!

Heaven rewards diligence!

That silly girl used her life as a stepping stone again and again, and finally became a female emperor of the stars!

At the same time, among the emperors of the universe, she became the most terrifying in combat power!

Even at his peak, Evan Clark was no match for that silly girl!

Thinking of that graceful figure, a smile finally appeared on Evan Clark's cold face.

He slowly raised his head, gazing at the deep blue starry sky, as if speaking to himself, as if speaking to her:

“Holly Clark, wait for me. Brother will return as the Demon Emperor in the shortest time!!!”

After saying this, Evan Clark glanced at the Jiangshui River, then slowly walked in.

But no one could see that, at the very moment Evan Clark stepped into the river, wisps of black aura spread along the river!

A water snake was searching for food in the river, but as soon as the black aura enveloped it, within just a second, all life left the snake!

Not just the water snake—the same scene played out with fish, water plants, shrimp, and all sorts of freshwater creatures!

The entire Jiangshui River seemed to be playing a requiem of death!

This was one of the Demon Emperor’s death skills: the Demon Slaughter Art!

To kill—all that can be killed!

……

On the other side of the Jiangshui River, a Range Rover was parked by the roadside.

By the river, an elderly man with white hair was fishing. Beside him sat a stunningly beautiful young girl and a middle-aged man with chiseled features.

“Grandpa, you just recovered, and you sneak out to fish. What if something happens?”

At this moment, the beautiful girl rested her delicate chin in her hands, pouting her rosy lips, her lovely face full of helplessness.

The girl was dressed in white, like a fairy descending to earth. Her exquisite features were as if nature had carefully sculpted a work of art—breathtakingly beautiful.

If any student from Jiang City High School saw her, they would instantly recognize her as the school’s number one beauty—the campus belle, Ivy White!

Seeing his granddaughter’s helpless expression, Old Master White smiled gently:

“Xiao Yi, don’t worry! Grandpa is still strong, especially after this recovery. I feel like I could kill a bull with one slap! Haha…”

With that, Old Master White stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man standing nearby, tall and straight as a javelin, also smiled slightly:

“Miss, what Old Master said is true. Back when Old Master was in the army, he was a king among the elite troops! Even now, despite his age, ordinary special forces soldiers can’t get close to him!”

This middle-aged man’s gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s. Even as he spoke, his eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, ready to handle any sudden situation!

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Ivy White finally relaxed.

She knew that this middle-aged man was a famous Sanda champion in the national special forces—handling twenty or thirty people alone was no problem at all.

Since he said Old Master was fine, then there was nothing to worry about.

Thinking this, Ivy White began to watch Old Master fish with great interest.

“Huh? Got a bite!”

At that moment, a smile appeared on Old Master’s face, and he began to slowly reel in the line.

At this moment, not only Ivy White, but even the middle-aged man smiled, ready to step forward and help.

“So heavy! Looks like it’s definitely a big one this time!”

Old Master tugged the fishing line, his smile growing even wider.

But the next moment left everyone stunned!

Splash!

As the waves rolled, following the fishing line, a figure was slowly pulled up.

It… was actually a person!

And a young man at that.

Seeing a strange young man suddenly appear, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically, and he instantly became like a fierce tiger unleashed:

“Old Master, watch out! Enemy attack!!!”

With a roar, the middle-aged man shot forward, and with an iron fist, smashed down hard toward Evan Clark’s head!

Whoosh!!!

It all happened in a flash!

Old Master White wanted to stop him, but it was already too late!

“Hm?”

After stepping out of the river, Evan Clark was momentarily stunned, but upon seeing the middle-aged man’s attack, a cold light flashed in his pitch-black eyes:

“Courting death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly and threw a punch!
