Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1623 - 374: Han Ling’er: Who Is He Really?

Chen, Chen Jiusi!

Liu Caidie snapped open her eyes, catching sight of a familiar silhouette. In that instant, fresh energy flooded her entire body. He—he had finally arrived.

I knew it! He absolutely couldn't have perished in that Molten Lava Hell!

With that realization, Liu Caidie brimmed with such thrill that she nearly shouted Chen Jie's name: "Chen..."

But abruptly, a thought struck her, and she snapped her mouth shut.

Right then, Han Ling’er snapped to attention as well. Raising her gaze, she spotted Zhao Fu, who should have met his end in the Molten Lava Cave.

She froze in utter shock. He—he was truly still alive.

How in the world did he endure that horrifying strike from the Fire Essence Beast? It's downright impossible!

Han Ling’er’s immediate response was sheer incredulity. Indeed, she couldn't accept that Chen Jiusi survived under those brutal conditions.

Yet the reality before her eyes crushed any denial—after all, Chen Jiusi stood right there, having just rescued her life!

At that very moment, the Ming King Guards—overpowered by the Giant Wood Flag's Giant Wood Five Bears and the Sharp Gold Flag's Five Eagles—turned their heads. Seeing Chen Jiusi emerge, they first recoiled in surprise, then exploded with joy upon recognition.

Yes, absolute joy!

The Saintess and her group were now safe, sparking wild excitement among them. But right then, they watched their Guard Commander get hurled airborne with a deafening bang by a Giant Wood Flag brute.

The brute roared with laughter, proclaiming, "Zhang Sen, what gave you the guts to challenge me? You, a pathetic weakling discarded by the Giant Wood Flag!"

Zhang Sen, the Ming King Sect’s Guard Commander, absorbed the brutal punch. His condition was dire, head spinning from the impact, yet he clenched his jaws, hauled himself up, and retaliated with a desperate full-powered fist against the Giant Wood Flag brute.

Boom!

That strike rocked the brute's frame backward. A Sharp Gold Flag disciple behind him moved to intervene, but the brute barked, "Stay out—this is Giant Wood Flag internal business; we'll settle it alone."

Even as he spoke, he surged with power and launched a counterpunch at Zhang Sen. Such was the Giant Wood Flag's ironclad rule: alternate single punches, and the first to crumple is the coward.

Those burly fighters upheld values that were brutally straightforward and unyielding.

Zhang Sen staggered back under repeated blows, his endurance plainly outmatched by the Giant Wood Five Bears' overwhelming might.

Contempt twisted the Giant Wood Five Bears' features as he mocked Zhang Sen: "With those limp, feeble punches, you think you can topple me? Haha, fat chance. Zhang Sen, you're nothing but a failure. You lost to me back in the trials for the Five Bears spot."

"And now, after we've both sworn to our lords, you're still a loser!"

Enraged by the Giant Wood Five Bears' taunts, Zhang Sen bellowed, "I haven't fallen yet—the Saintess hasn't fallen—close that filthy mouth!"

Another punch slammed home like a whipcrack, shoving the Giant Wood Five Bears back a pace. His expression turned grim and frosty: "Zhang Sen, apart from your big mouth, what do you bring? Not lost? Pry open those mutt eyes and look—they're already crushed. Now watch the Young Dharma King finish them off!"

The Giant Wood Five Bears spat these words while, on the opposite side, Han Ling’er and Liu Caidie unleashed their joint assault, only to crash in total rout—managing merely to nick one of Du Xiong’s eyes, which instantly hurled him into berserk fury.

As the frenzied Du Xiong barreled ahead, intent on ripping Liu Caidie and Han Ling’er to shreds, the Giant Wood Five Bears erupted in guffaws: "Hahaha, feast your eyes on your lords—so wretched, so pitiable, pure tragedy, tragedy, hahaha..."

Zhang Sen witnessed the heart-stopping spectacle too, his eyes bulging wide: "No, stop it!"

Just as despair hit Zhang Sen that the Saintess and Miss Liu faced imminent doom, a shadow burst from the flank, intercepting Du Xiong’s savage lunge in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Dust churned thickly; as it finally dispersed, Zhang Sen’s eyes popped open: "It’s him?!"

Yes, how could it possibly be him!

Zhang Sen stared in gaping disbelief. In his mind, this fellow had long perished in the Molten Lava Hell—yet here he stood, utterly unscathed.

What stunned him even further was enduring Du Xiong’s punch unscathed.

Du Xiong commanded Rainbow Realm strength, while Zhao Fu’s cultivation was rumored at mere Energy Transformation. How could Energy Transformation block a Rainbow Realm blow? Utterly inconceivable—pure defiance of Tian Gang!

Shock slammed into Zhang Sen, but joy swiftly followed—yes, joy. If Zhao Fu truly possessed only Energy Transformation power, reversal seemed hopeless. Yet if he concealed greater might, a faint hope glimmered, though Zhang Sen dared not bank on it fully.

Meanwhile, the Giant Wood Five Bears shot a glance at Chen Jie, his brow creasing slightly—who was this stranger?

He felt a twinge of surprise, never having laid eyes on him before. Blocking a punch from the Young Master marked him no common foe; none among them could claim confidence against Du Xiong’s strike.

Yet this unknown figure had done just that.

But composure returned quickly. So what if he blocked one punch from the Young Master? Here, the Young Master wielded full Rainbow Realm force—to topple him demanded matching Rainbow Realm power.
