Chapter 521 I Need Not Explain My Actions to Anyone

On the stage, Ren casually removed his mask, revealing his festering face.Li An's brows furrowed slightly.The area of ​​Ren's festering flesh was much larger than before, covering his neck and even his exposed hands.The degree of decay was heartbreaking.This necrotic body made him look like a reed in the wind, as if a gust of wind would topple him.At least in the eyes of the world, his life force was weaker than that of a dying old man.Yet, it was this very life force that made Li An feel a deep sense of crisis.Ren, in the prime of his life, had become like this just days after completely choosing to become a Crippled?Perhaps.This was the true appearance of a 20-year-old Crippled.The Black Demon King and his group had the power of the Awakened to suppress the Crippled.Frost and Snow had already healed.Only Ren, a cripple in the traditional sense, was now demonstrating to the world the true pain brought by his disability.But it was precisely because of this that he was so powerful.He showed no restraint whatsoever, fully releasing the pain of his disability and unleashing its true power.Then, the aura of the Dao Fruit rose from Ren's decaying brow.Li An's eyes narrowed slightly.Another Second Heaven Realm cultivator!?And this aura was incredibly full, showing no signs of instability.Suddenly.Ren said hoarsely, "If I relinquish the symbol 'Ren',""Then the world should call me—a Divine Mind Master.""My ability is very simple—the power of will.""The thoughts surging deep within my mind can bring me everything I desire.""Including the Dao Fruit."Li An frowned slightly. "Similar to 'words become law'?""More or less." Ren nodded gently."The price is your life?" Li An asked again."That's right." Ren said calmly. "What's your purpose in going up there?" Li An took a deep breath and said, "If you can really achieve your desires.""Why become his henchman?""Is the price he offered you so high that even you, a crippled being, can't afford it?""Heh." Ren chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You're as clever as ever.""If I could live like Shuangxue, with the improvement of my realm and strength, I should be able to do those impossible things one by one.""Unfortunately, I won't live to see that.""As for my purpose in going up there.""They only told me one thing—to stall you."Staying me?Li An frowned.What's the purpose of doing that?Just as Li An was deep in thought, the chattering Yuri came over and brought several pieces of information."God Li! God Li!""A group of unfamiliar faces have appeared in the Alliance realm. Some of them look very much like Hades. They are vying with Frost and Snow for ownership of the ruins!""And now, three more ruins have appeared, representing water, fire, and earth respectively!"Upon hearing this, Li An immediately understood.He looked at Ren and said in a deep voice, "Do you know who you're associating with?"Looking very much like Hades.That is the Son of Heaven!Ren shook his head and said, "I don't know, and it doesn't matter.""You!" Li An wanted to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.Ren and he didn't have much of a relationship.He just felt that this person seemed somewhat pitiful, carrying many burdens, and was also an enemy of the Ghost Lord and his group.The enemy of my enemy is my friend.Originally, Li An could have shaken hands with Ren, made peace, worked together, and defeated the enemy.But now, seeing Ren's resolute attitude, it seemed he was determined to become his enemy.It doesn't matter! Li An clenched his fist slightly, preparing for battle.But something was wrong.“Even if you don’t go on stage, I will stand here until the mission issued by the Cross City is completed.”“I don’t need you to stall me.”Ren nodded. “You’ll complete the mission in less than four days.”“But I’ll drag you out for a month.”“Four more days won’t make a difference, four less won’t make a difference.”“Why not go on stage earlier?”“A month?” Li An was puzzled. “You’re going to sit here and waste my time for a whole month?”“Do you think that’s possible?”Ren’s eyes were indifferent. He nodded. “I am a Heavenly Cripple.”“Of course I can do it.”“But I don’t want to go that far. Once I cross that line, I will die, and you will die too.”“You are the source of humanity’s destiny. Although I don’t admit it, everyone knows my origins.”“At this point, killing you here will only bring trouble to my realm.”“So I think we should all just sit here. Nobody should stand up.”Li An’s expression was grave.He hadn't expected Ren to be so resolute, preparing to use the Heavenly Cripple Technique against him.The two seemed not to be sitting on a battlefield, but rather on opposite sides of a scale.The weight in Ren's hand was the Heavenly Cripple Technique, immensely heavy, pressing down on Li An.Li An couldn't act rashly unless he was absolutely confident in dealing with Ren's Heavenly Cripple Technique.Ren wasn't an elementalist yet; his new talent would likely be useless.Plus, his talent was far more terrifying than other Heavenly Cripple users.Once the Heavenly Cripple Technique was activated, he could probably obliterate him with sheer willpower.Damn it.He seemed to be at a disadvantage.What should he do?Li An racked his brains.What kind of bewitching potion had that little boy given Ren? It made him willing to risk his life to suppress him, preventing him from participating in the battles of those ruins.At this moment.The Asura clan powerhouses who had been observing the battle from the sidelines had already reported these events to the Asura Realm.Ren seemed to have struck some kind of deal with the Underworld King's clan, agreeing to use the Heavenly Cripple Technique to suppress Li An.This news quickly reached the ears of the current master of the Asura Realm.His face darkened.Ren, what are you doing?!How did you get involved with the Son of Heaven?!He had to stop this from happening!So soon, an Asura clansman arrived at the central square of the Cross City and addressed Ren, saying, "The Realm Lord's Holy Words!""Ren, listen carefully!"Ren turned his head.The Asura clansman took out a magical artifact, activated it slightly, and immediately the Asura Lord's voice rose, its profound majesty causing the heavens and earth to tremble slightly."Ren, listen carefully! You must never associate with the likes of the Underworld King! Leave this place immediately and return to the Asura Realm!"Upon hearing these words,everyone present was deeply shaken.The Asura Lord himself had spoken! It seems that Ren, who came on so aggressively, will have to step down and go home today.It's strangely amusing.Like a rebellious teenager who just finished showing off on stage, only to be dragged home and scolded by his parents.That's somewhat embarrassing.But unexpectedly, Ren calmly said to the Asura clan member, "Ren is no longer a member of the Asura clan.""I don't need to explain my actions to anyone.""Please leave." The Asura clan expert's expression changed slightly. "You intend to defy the Realm Lord's decree?"Ren nodded and continued, "Please take a message back for me.""Ren's actions are beyond reproach."
