The person who landed from the sky had waist-length red hair, bloody red eyes, and the main color of his clothes was red. His whole being seems to be synonymous with red. The onlookers couldn't help but gasp when they saw this man's powerful aura.

When Fang Bao saw this man, he started his high-speed commentary again:

"This man is full of sinister chi energy. His hands are white while his fingers are long and powerful. He must have practiced claw style martial arts for many years. And he has black chi energy swirling around his body. He is obviously a master of the Circle Realm!"

"Circle realm!?"

Everyone was surprised when they figured out the stranger's realm level. A musha in the Circle realm can already be regarded as a master-level expert. But this red-haired man full of evil chi spirits is so young, which shows that he is a rare genius!

At this time, a passerby hag carrying a vegetable basket suddenly shouted in horror:

"Hey! Everyone, look at the horns on his head. That's a sign of practicing the secret chi arts of the demon clan! And it's so advanced that it causes his body to mutate and grow red horns. This person must have inherited the demon king's heritage. He truly is a strong one!"

Everyone took a closer look and saw the horns on his head, and they started talking about it in anxiousness. Even Li Yun, who had been undaunted so far, frowned nervously.

Marika was speechless when she heard what that hag said. Forget Fang Bao, why does this roadside hag know so many secrets of the martial arts? And who are the demons and the demon king? It's like some lazy writer just came up with these settings on the fly. This world just doesn't make sense to her.

And what made her want to laugh the most was...the horns on the red-haired man's head were too small, less than one centimeter long.

Hearing everyone's surprise at his strength, the red-haired man smiled in boastful satisfaction, pointed at Li Yun and said viciously:

"Yes, I am Ye Qintian, a member of the devil's clan, and the descendant of the great demon king! I am here today to kill you, Li Yun, the descendant of the Li family! Not only that, it is my goal to kill all the four major families and the Long family, in order to avenge my clansmen who were slaughtered and exterminated by the Long family! And restore the reign of demons upon this world!"

As soon as these words came out, it was confirmed that he was a demon clan member. Everyone looked at him with awe. What surprised everyone even more was that Ye Qintian suddenly burst out with a domineering aura. Then something incredible happened to Marika utmost surprise!

"Woosh-!"

Except for Li Yun and Marika, everyone present half-knelt down and shouted in unison with an order that Marika's own army would praise:

"We are willing to listen to the devil lord's orders! We will go through fire and water for you, no matter what!"

Seeing that even the Yunlin Gang, who had just cooperated with Li Yun, knelt down and surrendered, Marika just wanted to say:

'What in the actual fuck am I watching?!'

Marika has begun to doubt the facts in front of her. The thugs in suits and the Yunlin Gang who were at war with each other just now are now harmoniously bowing to this guy who appeared out of nowhere. Good lord, just what is going through these people's heads? !

Marika looked at Li Yun's face across from her. It could be said that it was darker than when his knives was blocked effortlessly just now.

At this time, the system's voice sounded belatedly:

"Mission trigger: Defeat or kill Ye Qin Tian. Mission difficulty: Hard. Mission reward: Multiverse gacha pull x1"

"You just realized it now? That red-hair guy is already done with his whole "evil master plan" shtick already"

Marika complained to the system.

Li Yun, whose plan had been completely disrupted, asked with a dark face and an angry tone:

"Why do you want to kill me? I don't remember provoking you!"

Ye Qintian smiled menacingly and responded:

"Because you, Li Yun, were born in a family that is my enemy! Then naturally we are natural adversaries! No other reason is needed!"

After saying that, he raised his hands like claws and pounced on Li Yun like a beast. And in an instant, the true qi energy condensed on his hand turned into blood mist, and then turned into a pair of claws composed of blood mist attached to the back of his hand.

Not to be outdone, Li Yun released his chi energy and conjured a long stick out of thin air with a golden Buddha sculpture faintly appearing behind him.

"Hey! Isn't that the lost martial arts of the Buddhist school? The righteous sage chi! This method can only be taught orally by the eminent monk, Master Tang. One must have the fifth level of Alchemy realm or above to practice it! But once one masters it, any attack will carry the great power of the Buddha! Could it be that Li Yun is also a disciple of Buddhism!"

While Fang Bao continued his commentary, the Buddha's light shone in Li Yun's body. In the eyes of others, Li Yun's whole body was wrapped in golden light, and the word "Buddha" appeared on his back.

Li Yun shouted, waving his long stick and rushed towards Ye Qintian, and a great battle erupted. Various powerful attacks were flying all over the sky, while Fang Bao and the onlookers on the side were giving endless commentary.

"Wow! It's the Divine Lotus Palm! This palm technique can drive the chi energy into the enemy's body, and then explode like a lotus flower, damaging his internal organs!"

"It's the roar of the Lion from Hedong! This technique can shock the heart and spirit, hurting the soul!"

"Crane Fist!? Wasn't this boxing technique lost after the death of Master Heshan?! I can actually see this boxing technique again! What a blessing!"

"The two young heroes have great skills!"

"It's so scary! It's so scary!"

Various weird and bizarre exercises were identified by the onlookers. But Marika really has no time to appreciate it, because...

"Can you watch where you're fighting? There are civilians here!"

Marika shouted over the raging. These two were really getting on her nerves! The residual energy of the fight between the two was so powerful that either one of them could kill an ordinary person, but they turned a blind eye to others, as if their life and death had nothing to do with them.

Marika could only use the many shields and Psycho-mu boards in the Gate of Babylon to block any incoming energy blasts.

Ye Qintian swung out a claw wind but was avoided by Li Yun. Then Marika had to use several shields to block it before the claw wind tore the crowd in half.

Li Yun raised his stick and hit the ground with a huge shock wave, then Marika had to use Strike Air to carry the people away from the attack range.

One after another, Marika saved the people countless times during the battle between the two. But what made her blood pressure even higher was that these people were obviously scared to death by these attacks, but they still watched this terrible battle as if their feet were glued to the ground. Marika was so angry that she wanted to curse out all the swear words she ever knew! Is it really worth your life just to watch the show?

However, people should be saved anyway, and Marika didn't bother to care whether they would thank her afterwards.

But what Marika didn't notice was that the leader of the man in black whom she rescued was looking thoughtfully at her heroic figure running back and forth.

"Damn it, I studied under a Buddhist master, experienced many years in the world, and endured all kinds of hardships, but I still can't beat a demon like you?!"

"I can say the same for you, the Demon dao Claw arts that I have practiced hard in the mountains for five years can't do anything to you!"

However, whether it was luck or unlucky, Li Yun and Ye Qintian were evenly matched in the battle. At this time, they both realized that they could not defeat each other with their current strength. So the two of them stopped fighting in a tacit understanding, which allowed Marika to finally take a breather. Sure enough, protecting people is more difficult than attacking!

Li Yun and Ye Qintian looked at each other, and Marika could tell what they were going to do from their eyes alone.

If they can't decide the winner in a short period of time, then according to the routine of Wu Xia novels, the next step will be a battle of ideas between the two.

"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect that the four cowardly families could actually cultivate a rare master like you! But Li Yun, I don't understand why you have to sacrifice your life for those failures?"

Ye Qintian asked with regret and confusion in his eyes.

"Hmph, even though you demon clans are all affectionate and admirable warriors, haven't you still been defeated by the Long family and the four major families? The four major families are indeed rotten, but the only way to disintegrate them is from within!"

Li Yun put away his stick and said with a sneer while holding his hands behind his back.

When Ye Qintian heard what he said, his complex eyes showed a hint of mockery and admiration.

"What a pity! Why don't you understand that the four major families are rotten to the core? It's impossible for them to change! The only way to change this world is to destroy them completely!"

Marika heard this and looked at these young people who shared the same ideals but took different paths. She didn't know what to say for a moment. To say they are wrong? Those four major families really do deserve to die. To say they are right? These two people treat others like chess pieces and ants, the world may not improve if it lands in their hands.

But the onlookers did not think as far as Marika did. They were all moved by their "profound" aspirations and "lofty" ambitions.

Many people who had just stood up to watch during the battle knelt down again.

"Wow~! I never expected that Brother Li Yun is willing to teach us Kung Fu and lead us to travel around the world because he wants to overthrow the four major families! Brother, your ideal is so great. We, the Yunlin Gang, will follow you to the death!"

The leader of the Yunlin Gang said with tears and snivels, so did the Yunlin Gang, and half of the people present. All offered their loyalty to Li Yun.

"Everyone..."

Even though they had betrayed him just now, Li Yun looked at his "subordinates" with a moved expression.

Looking at the moved Yunlin Gang who burst into tears, Marika felt speechless for a while.

'How much hatred do you have with the four major families? Is this necessary? And do you suffer from collective amnesia? I thought you folks just swore loyalty to that red-haired guy! '

So everyone at the scene got divided into two groups, each group kneeling on the ground and swearing an oath to one of of two young man:

"We are willing to follow Young Master Li Yun of Yuxing School and help him complete his great cause!"

"We are willing to follow the young master Ye Qintian of the demon clan and help him complete his great cause!"

After hearing everyone's oath, Ye Qintian laughed proudly:

"Hahaha! Well done! Li Yun, you truly are a hero! Then let us make a blood pact and continue our destined battle another day!"

Ye Qintian only felt ambitious at this moment. Although Li Yun has different ideals from him, he now regards Li Yun as his lifelong rival and best friend.

Li Yun had the same idea, looked at Ye Qintian with piercing eyes, and said:

"Okay! Brother Qin Tian! When we attack the four major families, we will compete on the battlefield to see who can kill more people!"

After hearing the "sincere" covenant between the two, Marika felt that these two jackasses were completely insulting her IQ. They have no clear plan, only ideals, and treat bad things like killing people as some kind of competition. Are their brains all rotten?

Ye Qin Tianzhi looked proudly at the large group of newly acquired lackeys and felt a sense of accomplished joy. He can't wait to lead his lackeys to dominate the world. So raising his arms, he shouted:

"Brothers, listen up! I, Ye Qintian, hereby announce that I will establish a brand new country, and its name will be the Sorcerous Kingdom! And you will be my first citizens!"

Ye Qintian's "subordinates" all cheered and celebrated happily when they heard his "Declaration of Founding of the Nation". Only Marika felt a chill up her spine because… Ye Qintian reminded her of herself.

Their experiences are so similar. They all couldn't stand the corruption of those in power, so they chose to build their own country from scratch. But that's where the similarities end. Behind Marika is a complete government system that although have not yet been fully summoned, but she could reliably rely on. And because of the multiverse gacha pull Marika also has inexhaustible talents and technologies.

Looking at Ye Qintian, what does he have? A rabble that swings from side to side. They do not have the technology to help the country make money, nor do they have the talent to govern the country. Not long ago, these people were a group of ordinary people who went to the streets to buy groceries and go shopping. How could they understand the extremely complicated work of running a country? Any random minister under Marika's command can outperform them without a sweat. Looking at these idiots, Marika secretly vowed to never let herself and her country become like Ye Qintian's!

Looking at this head-suffocating idiocy, Marika just wanted to find a place to sleep and rest. But before that, she had one last thing to do. That is to help these bewitched people recognize the facts.

Why go through the trouble of doing this? Marika herself doesn't fully understand, maybe she's jealous? Jealous of Ye Qintian and Li Yun being able to build the country like a joke and satisfy their desires and vanity at will. Compared with them, Marika works hard every day and night, trying hard to govern her country the best she can, fight wars she doesn't want to fight, and be a wise king for her people. All this pressure on her, yet these two view this kingly endeavor like it's some kids game.

So when Qin Tian was about to leave with his followers, Marika stood up and shouted to him:

"Hey! Idiot!"
