At the same time, on the snowy mountain, Li Muhan was leading everyone to avoid Suzaku's pursuit in the chaos.

In the sky, the silhouette of the Vermilion Bird was like a flaming meteor. Her angry cry echoed among the snow-capped mountains, shaking everyone's heart.

Suzaku had gone completely mad, she opened her own realm and a powerful force burst out from her body.

The raging flames were like huge waves, instantly turning the hillside of the snow-capped mountain into a sea of ​​fire.

Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire snow-capped mountain was shrouded in this sudden disaster.

The ice and snow melted quickly under the high temperature, forming a rolling stream of water mixed with mud, sand and rocks, rushing down the mountain accompanied by flames.

Li Muhan and Xia Yue seemed to be struggling during their escape because they could not use their full strength to fight against Suzaku due to the bracelets.

He could only rely on his agility to protect his students while moving between the snow and rocks, trying to escape Suzaku's pursuit.

Among them, Lu Yunxue accidentally fell while running away. Before Li Muhan could react, Zhou Yichen had already grabbed Lu Yunxue and carried her on his back.

"... Leave it to me. I'm fine."

"You've sprained your ankle! Stop trying so hard! Keep running!"

Zhou Yichen followed Li Muhan while shouting.

Their breath condensed into white mist in the cold air. Their heartbeats were like drums as they nervously followed the steps of Li Muhan and Xia Yue.

Zhuque laughed wildly as she chased the crowd. Her voice was full of provocation and madness: "Li Muhan, don't you want to protect these people? Then come and fight me! Otherwise, I will burn your lover and students to ashes!"

Her figure had already flown above everyone's heads, with her flaming wings spread out, almost covering the entire sky.

Her presence was like a giant flaming beast, casting a shadow that completely enveloped Li Muhan and his students.

Li Muhan looked up at Suzaku. Her body was dancing in the sky. Every flap of her wings caused the ground to tremble, and every eruption of flame was accompanied by a thunderous roar.

Zhuque was like an almighty god. Her anger turned into a real threat, engulfing the entire snow mountain in a sea of ​​fire.

Can't escape anymore.

Li Muhan knew that the current situation was no longer the time to think about the trial. Not only were the members of his own team exhausted by the burning energy, but even the three sisters of the Liu family were a little overwhelmed.

They supported each other and had difficulty breathing. It was obvious that they no longer had the strength to escape.

"I'm going to fight her."

Li Muhan frowned and said, "I will try my best to control my strength."

"Even if it's you, you can't defeat her with just the Cholera-level realm. She's not a clone now, but her real self."

Xia Yue reminded, and then added: "I will be with you, and I will try my best to control my strength."

Li Muhan knew that now was not the time to shirk responsibility, so he nodded.

Zhuque watched the group give up on escaping, and Li Muhan also raised his hand to grasp the black and gold long sword, and suddenly burst into excited cries.

"Yes!! That's it! Stop running away! I have no patience left!"

"Since you want to fight, come on."

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed, dark clouds rolled in, thunder and lightning intertwined, as if the gods were also paying attention to this battle.

The sudden bronze sword descended from the sky like a judge's verdict. It had no fancy decorations but was filled with overwhelming majesty and power.

The sword cut through the clouds and pierced Suzaku's back at an almost imperceptible speed.

Suzaku's scream pierced the sky. Her flame seemed to be swallowed up by a huge black aura at this moment. The struggle before it went out filled the surrounding air with despair and rage.

After the sword fell, the figure of a long-haired girl appeared in mid-air. Although her clothes were tattered, she revealed an otherworldly temperament.

She floated in the air, watching the scene coldly.

The girl's face was indifferent, as if everything in the world was nothing but nothingness in her eyes.

Suzaku fell to the snow, struggling in pain. The sword behind her released a black aura, which continuously eroded her strength and made her unable to move.

She raised her head with difficulty, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

"Why...why do you do this to me...!"

Her voice was low and tearful as she questioned the floating girl: "Why... do you... want to kill me?!"

Li Muhan and Xia Yue both noticed at this moment that the girl floating in the air could be none other than Lin Ze.

But there's something different.

Whether compared with the Lin Ze he knew or the Lin Ze he had seen in the Bai Ran incident before, he was different.

Because at this moment the girl was grinning, revealing an extremely terrifying smile, and this smile should never appear on Lin Ze's face.

"I didn't kill you, I just wanted you to be quiet."

The girl slowly descended and came in front of Suzaku. She raised her hand slightly and hooked her finger, and the bronze sword immediately flew back into her hand.

Her expression became even more gloomy as the bronze sword returned to her hand.

"But then again, who can restrain me?"

Her words made Suzaku's through-holes tremble, as if he sensed something.

"...Wait, what do you want to do..."

The girl was barefoot, leaving a series of deep footprints on the snow.

Her expression seemed particularly distorted in the light of the fire, and that smile revealed a madness that did not belong to this world.

"Thanks to the one who first broke the rules, because she swung the sword for humanity in the Prometheus War."

Her words stunned Li Muhan.

Could it be that she was talking about the time when Director Lin destroyed the Mechanical Leviathan and Mechanical Kraken during the battle of Prometheus?

The girl continued, "We have no right to interfere in the struggles between mechanical life forms, humans, and alien species. We are only responsible for harvesting those who violate the rules. And the so-called rules no longer exist the moment she takes action..."

Her eyes lit up with an almost palpable frenzy at the mention of this.

She firmly believed that her mission had changed. She was no longer a messenger of order, but a destroyer of a new order.

"So, whether the time has come or not is now up to me." Her voice was almost declaring her verdict on the old world.

The tip of the sword drew a silver arc in the cold wind and rushed towards Suzaku, as if to cut her off completely in the snow.

However, at this decisive moment, Fu Jiang Zhenmo and the silver spear suddenly appeared, blocking the fatal blow for Zhuque as firmly as a mountain.

"..."

The girl tilted her head slightly and looked at Li Muhan and Xia Yue who had already opened the realm in front of them.

"Director Lin, please stop going crazy, okay?"

Li Muhan felt his hands trembling. Why did this simple sword have such terrifying power?

If Xia Yue hadn't been taking on the responsibility for me, I'm afraid...

But his thoughts were still spinning in his mind when he saw a glimmer of light suddenly flashing in the eyes of the girl in front of him between her messy hair.

Then she raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sinister smile.

In an instant, Li Muhan and Xia Yue both felt that the weapons in their hands became extremely heavy.

It wasn't because the weapon itself had become heavier, but because the bronze sword was constantly exerting pressure on them.

"Fuck..." Li Muhan couldn't help but curse: "...What kind of power is this?"

"Li Muhan...can't suppress his power anymore. Something is wrong with this trial..."

Xia Yue also changed from holding the gun with one hand to holding it with both hands. The two of them crossed their weapons and fought desperately to resist the power of the girl in front of them, but even so, they were still losing ground.

The girl tilted her head, her expression becoming more and more crazy.

There was a crazy light flashing in her pupils, as if she had transformed into the master who destroyed all order. "You... don't you understand yet?"

Her voice seemed to come from the netherworld, filled with a chilling feeling: "Pure power is meaningless in front of me, so why not release your power to the fullest, and I will tell you everything in the most straightforward way."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bronze sword in the girl's hand suddenly burst out with a suffocating force, instantly shattering the weapons of Li Muhan and Xia Yue.

Fu Jiang restored the Demon-Suppressing Sword into a bracelet, and the Moonlight Spear turned into specks of moonlight.

Just as the bronze sword continued to press down.

Li Muhan suddenly hugged Xia Yue with one hand, grabbed Zhuque's hair with the other hand, and then threw both of them out.

The next second, he no longer concealed his strength, and the aura of Zhulong surged out of his body. At the same time, the blue fluorescent bracelet on his wrist used for monitoring also shattered.

He did not hold back at all. When he opened his eyes, the entire snow-capped mountain was already daytime, and his long hair had turned into silver threads.

A silver-white spear suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Interesting, Zhulong, it is this power that allowed you to escape certain death."

The girl took a step back slightly to avoid the aura of the Candle Dragon Spear.

"You are not Director Lin."

The silver-haired boy looked at the girl in front of him coldly and said in a cold voice: "What saved me and the world was not the power of one person, but the faith and sacrifice of millions of people."

"Such a ridiculous and vain thing should be cut off."

"Then you can try to kill one."

Li Muhan charged forward with his gun, but the girl showed no fear. Instead, she raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.

The bronze sword was waved repeatedly in her hand. Each move was very ordinary, without even the slightest sword intent, but each sword could accurately block the thrust of the dragon spear in Li Muhan's hand.

Not only that, but it also forced Li Muhan to retreat step by step.

She wielded the bronze sword lightly, without any rules or moves, but every swing of the sword contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, as if she was the incarnation of heaven.

Xia Yue gritted her teeth and tightly grasped the Moonlight Spear with both hands. Then wings grew out from her back and the bracelet on her wrist shattered.

Then the girl's body flashed and turned into a ray of moonlight, stabbing at the girl with incredible speed.

However, the girl seemed to have anticipated this. She put her sword to her side and actually took the shot!

"Your power comes from the realm. In the final analysis, it is just graffiti in the circle drawn by others... But I was born outside the rules, the controller of the rules..."

The girl murmured to herself, but her voice seemed to penetrate time and space and reach everyone's heart.

"I once controlled everything...destruction, creation, existence, nothingness..."

After saying that, the girl stepped back slightly, and then slashed at Xia Yue with a sword. The sword directly cut off Xia Yue's wings. She groaned and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Cut it off with one sword." The girl said softly, looking at Xia Yue with an arrogant smile on her face.

Li Muhan became furious upon seeing this, and rushed towards the girl with the spear in his hand carrying the power of Candle Dragon.

But the girl just casually turned sideways and swung her sword upwards, completely shattering Zhulong's realm. The terrifying power forced Li Muhan to immediately mobilize Bal's power to resist.

The cotton coat on his upper body was torn, revealing a body covered with golden runes. The arm armor transformed from the bracelet was shattered by the power of the sword as soon as it appeared.

Li Muhan half-knelt in front of Xia Yue. He took a deep breath and tried his best to let the boundary characteristics of Fu Leimingyuan heal himself.

"The second sword, cleansing this day."

The girl slowly raised her foot and walked towards Li Muhan.

At this moment, Zhuque propped himself up and tried to stand up: "I have never really faced the power of Lin Ze... Damn, it's so unlucky, kid! Hurry up and leave! I'll block you here!"

Li Muhan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that this Suzaku was so righteous, but in her current condition, she couldn't last even a second. Staying here would be a waste of time.

Just when everyone thought that the girl would use the third sword, she slowly raised her hand and dispersed the bronze sword.

"Don't be so surprised. I'm not here to kill you. After all, this trial isn't over yet."

After hearing the girl's words, Li Mu snorted coldly, but did not lift the boundary.

"The bracelet has been broken. According to the rules, both of our teams are now disqualified."

The girl smiled slightly, and only this smile seemed to resemble Lin Ze.

"I said, I set the rules. You now have a token. Now that you are no longer restricted, go get the second token, then continue the trial, and finally come to the top of the mountain to find me."

After saying that, she slowly turned around and walked towards the snowy forest.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Muhan asked, looking at the girl's back.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Muhan sideways: "My expectations of you seem to be too high. In order to make me understand that all living things in this world are just ants struggling within the rules, I need to abide by the rules again for my own sake."

"The 'I' you're referring to is Lin Ze?"

Li Muhan continued to ask.

"...You are right. Now that the rules have been broken, I am no longer 'me'. From today on...my name is, Yuan."

As soon as the words fell, a heavy snowstorm came and engulfed the girl's figure. When everyone regained their sight, the girl was no longer in sight.
