There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

The cool spaghetti strap dress was a bit loose on Jiaye, giving off a hint of laziness while also not lacking in sexiness and innocence.

The dress was purely white as its base, devoid of any lace edges or gradient layers.

Its silk-like material allowed it to cling naturally to the body while also hanging down to reveal the figure.

The neckline was not low, but a glimpse of allure could vaguely be seen, igniting endless imagination without being frivolous.

A bracelet made of willow branches on the wrist added a splash of color to the otherwise simple spaghetti strap dress, while the pure gold thread in her right ear lost some innocence but gained some charm.

A light makeup accompanied by long hair, which was loosely tied back with a rubber band.

Any man faced with such a woman's full-eyed expectant inquiry would blurt out two words.

Beautiful.

"The fabric choice is quite bold."

Chen Yi swept a surprised glance over the spaghetti strap dress on Jiaye, "Generally speaking, we would call this kind of silk-like material a sleep dress, it's rare to see it used for spaghetti strap dresses."

"It's pretty."

"After all, it's a Grade-C Fashion, not bad."

Jiaye, sitting on Tie Chui's shoulder, was taken aback, her mouth opening and closing a few times, just as she was about to say something else.

Suddenly, there was an outcry from around them!

Chen Yi turned his head towards the source of the noise.

He saw a man flying towards them, more precisely, a man standing on a flying sword.

To be even more precise.

It was a middle-aged man with an icy expression, his left hand behind his back, his right hand pinching the Sword Decree, dressed in a white Tang suit, standing on a green longsword.

The speed of the flying sword was not fast.

It seemed intentional.

The man standing on the flying sword descended slowly from above their heads, and even in the night, he was strikingly conspicuous.

The title above the man's head was even more glaring.

"I have a sword, who dares to respond?"

The middle-aged man landed slowly on the ground, simply pinched a sword technique with one hand, and the Green Peak Longsword under his feet trembled rapidly as if it had life, emitting a clear and soul-shaking sword cry!

It then began to spin around the man's side, fast like a swimming dragon!

Ever since the middle-aged man appeared, everyone who was fighting monsters in the night was shocked still, mouths agape, even those engaged in combat quickly pulled away hostility and stood on tiptoes to gaze at this unexpectedly appearing figure.

The man's white Tang suit, paired with old-fashioned black cloth shoes, sparsely scattered beard around his lips, and his firm and icy countenance.

That title over his head, along with the Three-Foot Qingfeng as lifelike as any living being.

Made the man the focal point of everyone's attention from the moment he appeared, the noisy chatter also faded away in an instant, as if suppressed by the man's invisible aura.

At that moment—

"Go!"

The man, with one hand behind his back, suddenly gave a cold order. His right hand, pinching the Sword technique, thrust sharply at a Minotaur Monster not far ahead!

"Clang!"

The Three-Foot Qingfeng hovering by the man's side vibrated wildly again and, with a sharp ring of the sword, it shot towards the Minotaur Monster at a speed invisible to the naked eye!

Leaving behind only a misty white trace carving through the air.

When the crowd followed the direction the man pointed and looked at the Minotaur Monster, they noticed its pupils were slowly dilating and a tiny bloody hole on its forehead was oozing blood.

The Three-Foot Qingfeng had already returned to the man's side at some unknown time.

It stood erect in the air, vibrated slightly as if it were a prized little treasure presenting its merits.

In front of all eyes, the Minotaur Monster with a tiny hole in its forehead, its pupils dilating, and its body rigidly falling backwards, until it crashed onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Wow!"

The crowd was suddenly abuzz!

The Minotaur Monster, which they had been struggling against for a long time, was killed in one strike by this man!

They couldn't even track the trajectory of the Three-Foot Qingfeng!

If the target of the Three-Foot Qingfeng had been them, who could have dodged it?

But it wasn't over yet!

Suddenly.

The middle-aged man, with one hand behind his back and standing in place, with no joy in his eyes as if he were used to it, gave a measured and respectful shout without any change in his expression.

"Sword, rise!"

The next second—

The man's posture straightened even more, his eyes gazing into the distance, an unwarranted air of composure settled upon him, with one hand behind his back and the other pinching the Sword Decree across his chest.

Shortly after.

Suddenly, the sound of a light and rhythmic DJ-style ancient music with a Jianghu flair began to play.

"Three feet of ice, how much frost and cold is required?"

"A fleeting glance, how much hardship is needed?"

"On this journey, do not forget the road one came from—"

As the rhythm started to quicken, and when the music reached a climactic moment!

Nearly a thousand Three-Foot Qingfeng swords emerged suddenly behind the man.

A sky full of Green Peak Longswords that blocked out the sun made many people scream and retreat in fear!

Right then!

Countless ferocious Monster Beasts with heads raised and silently roaring with rage in their eyes appeared suddenly within dozens of meters of the middle-aged man!

Accompanied by the right hand gently lowering the Sword Decree of the middle-aged man.

"Sword, fall."

Nearly a thousand Three-Foot Qingfengs behind the man started to tremble in unison, then, with a piercing sound, fell like an immense pressure from the air towards the raging Monster Beasts below!

At this moment—

The background music reached its climax, the sound growing louder, and the beats faster!

"Brocaded flowers bloom on the way home, do not hesitate!"

"The swan takes flight, breaking through clouds and mists, among thousands of rivers and mountains!"

"Feasting on frost, drinking the snow, forging for ten years, honing a single sword!"

"And see, as I stand alone at the pass, I dare to make tens of thousands unable to crack a smile!"

The countless Monster Beasts surrounding the man, in their silent roar, were turned into a bloody mess by the Green Peaks raining down from the sky!

Nearly a thousand Green Peak Longswords, of varying heights, surrounded the man.

They were akin to a Sword Tomb.

And like vassals encircling their Emperor, they slightly trembled their hilts in submission.

Willing to slay all enemies in the world for their Emperor.

At this moment, the background music also began to slowly fade, until several seconds later, the scene gradually dissipated.

There was dead silence!

All the players present even held their breath, daring not to speak loudly for fear of startling the immortals above!

It was only now that these players realized that the countless Three-Foot Qingfengs in the sky, along with the sudden appearance of the Monster Beasts, were all but illusions.

Unknown when.

Within a hundred meters of the man, there had long been no one.

Only leaving behind that still standing Three-Foot Qingfeng trembling slightly in mid-air next to the man.

The man, with an easygoing look in his eyes, glanced over the crowd, and then chuckled lightly.

"My fellow daoists, good night."

"..."

After a moment of silent glances all around, the players began to whisper to each other uncontrollably.

"Is this still a human? Could it really be an immortal?"

"I don't know, dammit, give me a moment. I always thought the world had turned into a game, but now you're telling me that the spiritual energy has revived and immortals have descended!?"

"What do we do then? According to the old rules, is this immortal here to test our Spirit Roots?"

"That's excellent; the fortune-teller has said since I was a child that apart from the Fire Attribute, I lack the other four elements. This means I'm definitely that one in ten thousand with a pure Fire Attribute Spirit Root!"

...

Meanwhile, in a corner among the crowd.

Li Yide stood silently with no expression on his face. After a long while, he took out a cigarette from his pocket with a light sigh, slowly lit it, and put it to his lips.

With a look full of melancholy and a distracted spirit, he stared into the distance and murmured.

"The road ahead is long and far-reaching indeed."

"He's really f*cking good at pretense."

"I thought Chen Yi was pretentious enough, but now there's someone even more ostentatious."

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

"I thought I was well-prepared, planning to make a grand appearance tonight while many people were gathering outside the city. I didn't expect that there would be such huge mountains ahead of me!"

He absent-mindedly swished his Fox Tail. After a moment, he couldn't help but lower his head in dejection and said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If Yu was born, why was Liang born as well?"

"Shouldn't showing off imply inadvertently revealing one's badass side, then with everyone in shock, you just give a slight smile to show it's just a basic maneuver?"

"Isn't it popular anymore to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger?"

"Are we now into this kind of straightforward showing off?"

"The type that unleashes their Ultimate Move upon meeting someone."

"When did the times change without letting me know?"

...

"..."

The Tuberculosis Rabbit also stood in silent, expressionless contemplation, with his hand halfway to lighting a cigarette, only resuming after the effects and background music had completely ended.

But he did not proceed to light the cigarette.

Instead, he took the cigarette from his lips and held it in his hand.

He paused for a moment before he said faintly.

"There is no such character action in the Fashion Store. I don't know where this man got it, but the cost must not be small."

"With the range of effect this has, even including an appropriate background music and plot for the effects."

"This effect must be worth at least 50,000 Points."

"But I can't take it anymore. This man is too good at pretense."

"Since I was born, I have never seen such a master of pretense!"

Chen Yi also stood there with a complex expression, looking towards the middle-aged man who was standing by himself in the clearing, leaning on his walking stick without speaking.

Damn it.

That character action is truly awesome.

No, he too must get a character action that's as cool as that one.

The kind you can buy from the store that everyone has, the common merchandise, definitely won't do. He must get a character action that's as rare as the one this man has, which isn't available in the store.

However, just at this moment—

The middle-aged man turned around, smiled at Chen Yi, then proceeded to walk straight towards Chen Yi and the others, with the Three-Foot Qingfeng floating behind him following as though it were his shadow.

He came to a halt two meters away from Chen Yi and the others, then stood there with an amiable expression, chuckling lightly.

"My young friends, I..."

Before the man could finish speaking.

"Hold it!"

Standing beside Chen Yi, the Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly stood up straight, her face cold as she gave a soft shout, then bent her knees slightly and leaped straight up on the spot, pulling out the Crimson Claw Knife, which had been charging up to nearly 5000 points, from her bosom while in mid-air.

Before the leap, she flicked the cigarette in her palm with the handle of the knife, sending it flying through the air.

Her body bent like a bow at the extreme angle, catching the lit cigarette in her mouth and stretching out her arm holding the Claw Knife like a whip, lashing it through the air towards a distant Minotaur Monster!

"Knife, cries!"

"And see how I cut down all the devils in this world!"

"Give me—"

"Extinction!"
