"Forehead."

Staring in astonishment at Xu Xian, Yi Shuihan was also impressed. He could barely understand Xu Xian's current feelings. It was possible that his mind would become extreme after losing his wife.

While he understood, Yi Shuihan would not allow Xu Xian to take his anger out on him.

"I let it go before, but if you lay a hand on me again, you're dead."

Speaking terrifying words in an extremely ordinary tone, coupled with those merciless eyes, instantly chilled Xu Xian to the bone, extinguishing all his anger.

It was only then that Xu Xian realized how powerful Yi Shuihan was. The scenes of him annihilating hundreds of orcs and his rampage on the battlefield flashed through his mind. If he really angered Yi Shuihan, the man could kill him with a single slap. Thinking about this, Xu Xian was somewhat grateful that Yi Shuihan had shown mercy earlier.

"Alright, it's just a few people dying! Don't make such a fuss, okay? This is the Main God Space..."

"How could you say that? Aren't you heartless! We're all comrades, and we're not even allowed to be sad when a comrade dies."

Tong Yan was very emotional, but her words did resonate with others, and even Wu Qingxuan's gaze towards Yi Shuihan changed.

"Can you let me finish what I have to say? The Main God Space is incredibly powerful. It can even bring us here silently from different worlds. It might not be impossible for it to resurrect the dead. Instead of continuing to be depressed, we should try our best to complete the Main God Space's missions and accumulate survival points. Otherwise, even if we find a way to resurrect, we can only watch helplessly."

The word "resurrection" seemed to have a magical power; Xu Xian's eyes lit up instantly, as if a desperate person had grasped at a straw.

"Yes, resurrection, it's possible to resurrect. The Main God Space is so magical, there must be a way to resurrect. Don't worry, wife, I will definitely resurrect you, no matter what the cost."

Xu Xian underwent a strange and indescribable change. If he was a newcomer who couldn't adapt to the God Space before, he was now actively integrating into it.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier. It turns out you're just not good at expressing your feelings and keep your thoughts to yourself. It must be very hard for you!"

Tong Yan bowed slightly to Yi Shuihan, and a glimpse of snow-white skin inevitably appeared in Yi Shuihan's sight.

Yi Shuihan nodded slightly, but he was speechless. What did they mean by saying he was bad at expressing his feelings and kept his thoughts to himself? He was clearly just indifferent to all of this.

"I came back to let you know that I will not be returning to Lin Yuan City. I will be traveling around other parts of this world. As for you, you'd better return to the Main God Space. Of course, if you want to stay, that's none of my business."

"Duo'er, you go back to the Main God Space with Sister Wu Qingxuan."

Aside from Yi Shuihan's exceptional skills and daring, the others really didn't want to stay any longer. So, in a short while, only Yi Shuihan remained on the scene.

"Then let's go check out the battlefield of the veterans."

Having identified the direction, Yi Shuihan left the battlefield. What chain reaction would occur because of his departure was not entirely within his consideration.

Unbeknownst to Yi Shuihan, just minutes after he left, a Saint-level expert appeared on the orc side and wiped out the entire Fifth Army, which was fighting against the Third Prince, in one fell swoop.

Raymond failed to win over Yi Shuihan and suffered an undeserved calamity, taking the blame for Yi Shuihan's misfortune. Joey, on the other hand, was lucky. Because of the remnants of healing light from Yi Shuihan, he survived and became the sole survivor of the Fifth Army.

About half an hour later, Yi Shuihan arrived at the advanced battlefield he had sensed earlier. Here, dozens of Saint-level warriors were engaged in a chaotic battle in the sky, while hundreds of level eight and above warriors were fighting below.

"It's those two elf sisters."

Yi Shuihan spotted the two sisters moving gracefully through the crowd at a glance. They made their moves from time to time, taking the lives of many powerful individuals.

The older sister wielded a curved sword and a round shield, while the younger sister held a magic wand. With each swing, flames, ice, wind blades, and various other spells appeared in dazzling display.

"The situation is not bad! It seems they should be able to complete the mission; it shouldn't be that simple."

After observing for a while, Yi Shuihan turned his gaze to the sky. The difficulty of the task, which even the veterans were unwilling to take on newcomers, should not have gone so smoothly. He just didn't know how the difficulty of the task should be reflected.

Chapter 1086, Little Girl Instantly Transforms into Muscle Woman

"Huh? Earl Wanbao actually transformed into a bat and stood on Polik's shoulder. Was he trying to catch us off guard?"

Among the dozens of Saint-level experts, Yi Shuihan found Polik, who was currently fighting a tiger-man Saint-level expert. The two seemed to be evenly matched and were putting on a very impressive fight.

As an outsider, Yi Shuihan saw things clearly. Polik probably hadn't used his full strength; he had some kind of plan. Otherwise, with the help of Earl Wanbao, his current opponent could have been killed instantly.

"I remember their mission was to kill five Saints, probably with the intention of killing several Saints at once."

Centered on this conjecture, Polik's actions become very clear. Yi Shuihan discovered that Polik was deliberately guiding his opponents in one direction, where there was a battlefield of 3 human Saints versus 4 beastmen Saints. There was one less person, but the human Saints' coordination was stronger than that of the beastmen, which is why they did not lose.

If Polik's target is his current opponent, then the four beastmen saints on board make sense.

So what does he intend to do?

Just as Yi Shuihan was paying attention to Polik, a level 9 orc quietly approached him.

This is a beastman who looks 9% like a human, except for his tail, which is a fox tail. Clearly, he is a fox-human.

"I didn't expect there to be a lone human here. Did you think you could hide and no one would see you? Remember, I, Hu Yang, am the one who will kill you."

The opponent didn't believe Yi Shuihan had any ability to resist him, so he attacked casually, simply grabbing at her with a claw.

Yi Shuihan didn't move, which the other party saw as a sign of being terrified. However, the next moment, a curved blade pierced through his chest. The other party's hand stopped at Yi Shuihan's throat, his eyes wide open, completely unable to understand why he was dying here.

"Hey, aren't you that newbie? What are you doing here? How are the others?"

The elf sister Lia drew her scimitar and spoke to Yi Shuihan, while her younger sister looked at him with a furtive, appraising gaze.

"Don't say anything yet, let me guess. Could it be that everyone else is dead and you're the only one left? Well, after all, the mission world this time is too difficult, so it's normal for the death rate of newcomers to be a bit high."

Before Yi Shuihan could answer, Liya spoke again.

"Three people died, and the others should have already returned to the Main God Space."

"What? Only three? You're lying to me, right? How could so few people have died? You know, back then..."

Leah suddenly stopped, clearly realizing that what she was about to say shouldn't have come out at this time.

“Since everyone else has completed their mission and returned to the Main God Space, what’s going on with you? This isn’t a place for a newcomer like you. Even for us, there’s a risk of death if we’re not careful.”

"I'm just here to watch the fun. If there are any side quests, I'll do them while I'm at it."

Yi Shuihan said it casually.

"Watching the show? And doing a side quest?" Staring blankly at Yi Shuihan, Liya felt that newcomers these days were getting harder and harder to understand. This was no way to court death! If she hadn't intervened, this newcomer would probably be dead. Wasn't his reaction a bit too calm?

"Oh no, we're surrounded."

While Yi Shuihan and Liya were talking, five beastmen surrounded them. Four of these beastmen were level 9, and the remaining one was level 8.

"We'll create an opportunity for you later; you can act according to the situation."

Lia gave Yi Shuihan some instructions, then prepared to break through with a solemn expression. The reason they were able to move around the battlefield before was entirely due to the fact that the beastmen did not focus their attention on them. After all, in that situation, they were surrounded by enemies and could not be targeted.

Now things are completely different. The five orcs are clearly going to kill the two elves, so they won't let them leave easily.

"younger sister."

"I know, sister."

Rico took out a bottle of crystal-blue potion, tilted her head back and swallowed it. The magical energy around her body rapidly increased. Then she waved her wand and quickly chanted a series of incantations.

A beam of light flew out from the demon and entered Lia's body. Lia's entire body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blue light, making her look quite eerie.

"The effect of the blessing will disappear in just 10 minutes."

"I know it won't be a waste of time."

After speaking, Lia vanished from her spot and reappeared in front of the nearest orc, brandishing her scimitar and beginning a show.

Although Lia's strength should be inferior to that of the level 9 orc she was fighting, she was currently dominating him. If there were no other orcs, she probably wouldn't have been able to kill him in a long time, even in a head-on confrontation.

Seeing this, two of the other orcs, both level 9, headed towards Lia, one level 9 went straight for Riko, and the last one, a level 8, set his sights on Yi Shuihan.

The blessing spell that Li Ke used was not a regular spell. Yi Shuihan could feel that she was much weaker than before. She should have no problem facing level 8, but level 9 would be a bit risky.

Yi Shuihan was immediately proven wrong. Riko's body was rapidly changing, transforming in the blink of an eye from a delicate little mage into a muscular woman with a fierce aura even stronger than her sister, Lia.

Yi Shuihan couldn't help but think of a certain old loli in the Hunter world. She was the same way, hiding her identity as a muscular woman and appearing as a loli. But when it came to actual combat, she would transform into her battle form, leaving her opponents completely stunned.

"So she was the main attacker after all!"

Rico transformed into a berserker, replacing her wand with a greatsword. With a single strike, she severely injured the level 8 enemy. Then, facing the level 9 orc, she overwhelmed him, leaving him utterly helpless. Her combat prowess might even surpass that of Lia, who was currently under a buff.

Of course, even so, the situation for the two elf sisters was still very serious. The older sister was surrounded by three level 9s and soon had many wounds on her body, while the younger sister seemed to have the upper hand. If she could not deal with the level 9s in front of her before her older sister was defeated, she would still not have a great chance of winning against the three level 9s alone.

Chapter 1087, Assisting in the Kill

"If this continues, Leah will be the first to be killed!"

Having made this judgment, Yi Shuihan stopped standing by and strolled towards Liya, who was being besieged.

Midway through their journey, they passed by the level 8 orc who had been severely injured by Riko. The orc attacked Yi Shuihan, intending to kill him. The two elf sisters noticed this, but neither of them could spare the time to protect Yi Shuihan. At the same time, they were also somewhat angry with Yi Shuihan, believing that he was hopeless. They had clearly created an opportunity for him, but he had instead walked right into the line of fire.

"A rookie who's courting disaster."

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and then he withdrew his attention from Yi Shuihan and focused all his energy on dealing with the formidable enemy before him.

What happened next completely overturned the two elven sisters' worldview. Yi Shuihan had somehow bypassed the level 8 orc and arrived at Lia's side, then suddenly attacked and joined the battle.

"Is this really a newcomer?"

Staring blankly at the three barely alive level 9 orcs lying on the ground, Leah felt that her brain was completely unable to comprehend what was happening before her eyes.

A newcomer's combat power is much stronger than that of the veteran herself, easily defeating a level 9 expert. Doesn't that mean Yi Shuihan's strength should be at the Saint Realm level, the same as the captain's?

"What are you standing there for? If you don't take care of them, they'll die. I don't know if that will count as part of your mission."

Seeing that the three orcs were about to die, and Lia was still staring blankly at him, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but remind her.

"Huh? Oh! Okay."

Lia reacted quickly, immediately wielding her scimitar and killing three level 9 orcs. Without waiting for Yi Shuihan to remind her again, she joined her sister in the battle. The sisters worked together and ended the fight in a few moves.

The two sisters walked over, the younger sister transforming back into a cute little girl from her muscular self. Both women looked at Yi Shuihan with gratitude, especially Liya, who was deeply moved, never expecting to be saved by a newcomer.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we don't know if we would have survived today. We owe you our lives. By the way, we still don't know your name."

“You can call me Taiyi; that is my Taoist name.”

"Taoist name? So you're an Eastern cultivator. This is the first time I've ever seen an Eastern cultivator. I've only ever heard of them before, never actually met one."

Lia looked at Yi Shuihan with the curiosity of a child, as if Yi Shuihan were some rare and precious animal.

"Have you completed your mission?"

To divert attention, Yi Shuihan asked.

"It's done. We had already killed 6 before, and with the 4 we just killed, that makes 10. Now we'll follow the captain and the others. Hopefully, they'll be alright too."

When the mission was mentioned, Leah's expression became serious. She looked up at the battlefield in the sky, her eyes filled with worry.

"Oh, by the way, actually..."

Lia suddenly looked at Yi Shuihan, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"Just say what you have to say."

"That's right. The main quests for newcomers and veterans are usually different. To protect newcomers, their main quests are simpler. However, sometimes this happens in the God Space. Newcomers are incredibly powerful. In such cases, if a newcomer is willing, they can share a veteran's main quest. Completing it will earn them rewards, while failing will only result in all rewards in the immediate reincarnation world being reset to zero."

"Is there still such an operation?"

Yi Shuihan was surprised, already understanding Lia's meaning from her words. She simply wanted Yi Shuihan to share the mission, seeing Yi Shuihan's strength, so that their mission would have a better chance of being completed.

Of course, since Yi Shuihan saved them, they also had to consider Yi Shuihan's thoughts, because if Yi Shuihan couldn't complete the mission, the losses would be huge.

"Share the mission with me! That's what I came here for, otherwise I would have already returned to the Main God Space by now."

Yi Shuihan said it very simply.

"Don't you want to think about it again?"

It was at this moment that Leah said such things.

"No need, my mind is made up."

"OK then!"

With a surge of power, a side quest appeared in Yi Shuihan's quest log. The quest required assisting in the killing of 5 Saint-level enemies, and the reward was 20000 survival points and 20 merit points.

"Just assisting in killing 5 Saints? If Captain Polik and the others can complete the mission, wouldn't I just get the reward for nothing?"

Thinking about it this way, Yi Shuihan felt that there must be something strange about it, so he voiced his thoughts.

"Of course it's not that simple. Only when the total contribution to the task is more than one-third of the current number of people involved in the task can it be considered as assistance in completing the task. Otherwise, the task is not considered complete."

Leah explained.

"That makes sense. I have to do something to complete the mission. I need to take down at least one Saint-level expert!"

With the mission assigned, Yi Shuihan naturally became more enthusiastic, keeping an eye on the battlefield in Polik and ready to join the fight at any time.

Polik finally led his opponents to the designated location, turning it into a battle between 4 humans and 5 orcs.

Polik deliberately created an opening, giving the opposing orcs a chance to attack the other three human sanctuaries. If this attack succeeded, it would be a devastating blow.

The Orcish Sanctuary did not suspect that this was a setup. Even if Polik was acting, they would at most exchange a small number for a large number, which was perfectly acceptable.

However, while the orc sanctuaries were attacking the other three human sanctuaries with all their might, their defenses were reduced to the limit, and Polik erupted.
