Doomsday Roulette

The former Red Hair was extremely strong. In the attack on the divine hall, she even killed an eighth-level mutated life form alone. Although that was just a low-quality product created by the divine hall, it was still an eighth-level creature, wasn't it? Now, aside from Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai, who could face that eighth-level pink ball alone and still hope to survive?

Such a Red Hair has now undergone an unknown mutation, and it is clearly a powerful transformation. At this moment, who could guarantee that Ye Zhongming would definitely be a match for Red Hair?

Indeed, Red Hair was once Ye Zhongming's human puppet, but that was in the past. Once Red Hair's strength surpasses Ye Zhongming, this master-servant relationship is very likely to become ineffective. The higher the life form, the stronger the autonomy they possess; nobody wants to be bound, ordered around, or even enslaved.

If Red Hair reaches this level, it is very likely that she would want to break free from Ye Zhongming.

The magic crystal cannons and giant crossbows on the city walls were all turned towards this direction, ready for any eventuality.

Ye Zhongming walked forward firmly, and the skeleton warriors became noticeably agitated. These creatures are not just ordinary skeletons; they are transformed from advanced life forms, infused with the power of Soul Pearls. Even though no one has fought against them, the dangerous aura they exude tells everyone that they are not to be trifled with.

When Ye Zhongming walked among these skeletons, the expected battle did not erupt, and many people felt their bodies relax.

Ye Zhongming stopped a few meters in front of Red Hair. He deliberately stopped here because at this distance, he could interact with Red Hair without feeling either superior or inferior—too far would give Red Hair a sense of superiority, and too close would make him seem dominant over her.

Either way, such instant feelings could lead to a conflict.

Yes, the connection between Ye Zhongming and Red Hair has still not been restored. In fact, Ye Zhongming felt as if he had returned to that period right after Red Hair’s rebirth, when their connection was intermittent.

He couldn't be sure how the two sides would interact.

The reason he walked here alone was to make a statement; he wanted to show everyone and Red Hair that this is Cloud Summit Villa, and no matter who is here, offensive behavior is not allowed.

Red Hair is indeed very strong, extraordinarily strong, but does Ye Zhongming truly fear her? Obviously not. Even if Red Hair has been further empowered by this mutation, Ye Zhongming would never be afraid.

He simply did not wish for a conflict to arise; in his view, it was entirely unnecessary.

Even if Red Hair truly detaches from him due to her increasing strength, Ye Zhongming does not wish for the two sides to become enemies.

Moreover, he was extremely curious about Red Hair's mutation, as well as the bone-made chair and the Light Whip.

As a craftsman, he felt an irresistible urge to study these pieces of equipment that transcended his understanding.

The Light Whip in Red Hair's hand floated towards Ye Zhongming, causing the Cloud Summit warriors, who had just relaxed, to tense up again. Under their watchful eyes, the whip gradually approached Ye Zhongming until it wrapped around him.

If Ye Zhongming had not previously signaled for them not to act rashly, the Cloud Summit's attack might have already commenced.

Ye Zhongming looked down at the Light Whip that was coiling around him; he felt no weight, and there was no sense of restriction, as if it were flowing water.

He did not move because Ye Zhongming did not sense any malice from Red Hair.

Even at this moment, the previously aggressive skeletons had lost their bloodthirsty aura and instead became extremely docile, their hostility towards Ye Zhongming vanished completely.

The whip tightened slightly, and Ye Zhongming's body was drawn toward Red Hair, but the movement through the air was very slow, before being gently placed in front of the bone chair.
