It took a while for Qin Luo to recover from his dizziness.

With his hands on the ground, he struggled to get up and looked around.

The once bustling trading area was already in turmoil, with merchants gathering goods and civilians desperately fleeing public places.

Farther away, the sound of cannons and wolf smoke were everywhere, and even if they were far away, they could smell the breathtaking breath of Huowu.

"Oops! Xiaowei" Qin Luo secretly said that it was not good.

Hurriedly ran to the place where he had just separated from Xu Wei.

But...... Except for the chaotic civilians, Xu Wei's trace is indeed gone, I don't know where she went?

Qin Luo was naturally very anxious, the situation in Wanjia Town was obvious, the plan of the thieves group three months ago was to ransack Wanjia Town, such a chaotic situation, even if Xu Wei had some self-protection ability, but he couldn't stand the sinister hearts of people......

"Xiaowei!!Where are you?"

Qin Luo searched around in the trading room, trying to find someone to ask, but no one wanted to pay attention to Qin Luo, he just fled on his own, and impatiently scolded directly, "Get out".

Wanjia Town, which used to be orderly, has lost its rules and laws.

"Puff"

"Hahaha......"

A very disobedient voice came, Qin Luo frowned slightly, and looked over.

I saw that ordinary passers-by who had been buying goods in the city had gotten weapons out of nowhere, and were chasing and killing the fleeing civilian merchants.

The nature of the robbers is on full display here, some of them go to plunder the goods that have not yet been put away from the stalls and put them into their own packages, or they even point directly at the merchants with a knife, spray blood, and take the packages that the wounded are clinging to in a cruel laugh.

The killing continues, and the laughter continues.

"Haha, tell you to run ......"

"I dare to pack up my things, and I am not afraid. ”

"These are Lao Tzu's!"

......

Qin Luo secretly scolded, "Damn, how can these robbers have weapons." What do you eat?"

In order to prevent conflicts, all kinds of bloodshed occur, all those who enter the town must hand over their weapons to the instrument management for safekeeping, only people with special status or some extremely powerful people can bring weapons into the town, and in addition to the garrison troops in the town can wear weapons, others can not bring weapons to any public place, even the weapons merchants also need to hand over the weapons to the weapons management office for reporting, and after recording, the goods can be transported to the sales location by special people.

This is the agreement reached between the various families and the guilds in Wanjia Town, and the stability and harmony and joint maintenance ensure the order of Wanjia Town.

Of course, there are always people who have a way to avoid inspection, but they are always a minority, and the robbers in front of them are each with a weapon, which only proves one point, the instrument control office is "rotten".

At this time, the robbers who were smashing and looting saw Qin Luo, who was watching them.

A bearded man sneered, "Hey, there's an idiot......"

Carrying a knife, he walked slowly towards Qin Luo.

When he came closer, the big man stared at the person in front of him with a hideous face, wanting to see him fleeing in terror.

But Qin Luo just stood expressionless, motionless, it seemed that this was ......

"Scared silly?"

This weakened the sense of accomplishment a little, but he liked to see the fear of others the most.

Dahan was quite depressed: "Boy, count you unlucky." ”

Raise your knife and slash diagonally......

Others weren't paying attention to what seemed to be a doomed ending......

"Uh......"

A muffled sound came, the sound of an immortal sword entering the body, but the robbers didn't care, they only thought that the frightened man had been killed.

"Hey, old thief, that kid is dead, hurry up and get to work, the escort will be here in a moment. A large man who was stuffing something into his clothes heard what seemed to be footsteps behind him, and turned around.

The expression was stunned, and in front of him was a pair

Clear pupils.

"No, it's not an old thief...... the big man reacted instantly, these pupils are too young......

But before he could shout, his eyes went black in the next second, and then he lost consciousness.

"Cao, I came across an idea, don't take it, brothers give it to me. Someone finally noticed that something was wrong, looked at the two companions at Qin Luo's feet, and roared angrily.

Seeing this, the other robbers howled and scolded angrily and rushed towards Qin Luo.

"Peng Peng Peng Peng ......"

The crowd was beaten and flew out one by one, falling to the ground......

The strength of these robbers is really weak, and the strongest ones are only at the high level of mortal bodies, and the difference in strength is too great.

Qin Luo didn't spend much effort to clean it all up.

But he didn't kill anyone, he just knocked him down, he ...... Still can't do it.

Looking around the trading area, except for the robbers who fell to the ground and howled or the corpses that had been slightly cold, there were no more people, the boxes that had been turned over, and the broken stalls...... The scene looked desolate.

Qin Luo was silent, the strength of these robbers was not strong, it was impossible to shake Wanjia Town, he didn't believe that the plan that had been planned for so long only had such a little power, and the direction of the city gate was still loud until now, I don't know what happened?

I still haven't found Xu Wei, but Qin Luo has calmed down, and it's useless to panic.

Xu Wei herself is not weak, a first-level dual-system magician, separated by a certain distance, even a strong Qiling cannot defeat her in a short time.

How many strong people can be enlightened by robbers, there should be no need to worry too much about safety.

Now the safest place in Wanjia Town should be the Town Lord's Mansion and Tianqing Restaurant.

Needless to say, the town lord's mansion is the core place of Wanjia Town, the place where the masters of the five major families gather, and I believe that the robbers will not go there to touch the mold.

The Azure Restaurant is a hotel all over the Jiuxiao Continent, where there is a certain scale of the town, there will be the existence of the Azure Restaurant, the forces behind it can not be underestimated, even those outlaws will not easily move the Azure Restaurant, after all, the forces of the rivers and lakes and the government are still different, the restaurant is a gathering place for all kinds of people, it is really easy to find a gang of robber organizations, this is a natural intelligence agency.

Tianqing Restaurant has three floors, one or two floors are the place to eat, each floor is about 100 tables, the third floor is the place of accommodation, there are 20 rooms, as long as the seat is full, no one is allowed to enter, queue up outside the door, after entering the restaurant, no matter who is sheltered by the restaurant, no one is allowed to fight, the consequences are at your own risk, and the others even if you die at the door of the restaurant, the restaurant will not pay attention.

In this chaotic moment, people who have no shelter are afraid that they all gather at the Azure Restaurant. Even if you can't get in, if there are too many people, you will not be afraid of robbers.

Thinking about this, Qin Luo was relieved, such an obvious landmark, a gathering place, Xu Wei should have gone there.

Looking around, he saw that there was nothing but clutter everywhere, and he was ready to leave.

Before leaving, Qin Luo went to look at the fire weapons opened by Boss Jin, after all, like this kind of robber attacking the city, the shop selling fire weapons is the most popular among bandits.

When I came to the fire weapon, I saw that the door of the store was closed, and there were corpses all over the front of the door, and the steps were stained red with blood, and I didn't know how many people were killed or injured.

Judging from the clothes of the deceased, they were all rags and linen clothes, not the unique costumes of fire weapons, and they all looked like robbers.

"Boss Jin also has a lot of weapons in his hands. Qin Luo said secretly

Being able to open a fire weapon equipment store, its own force is naturally not to be underestimated, and Wanjia Town is also turning a blind eye to this.

"The rules are only for the weak. ”

People with strength and power have their own ways to fight back against robbers, while those who are weak and have no background are wantonly plundered and killed by robbers, and the equality of the past is shattered like a mirror......

"Little Luo ......"

There was a shout in front of him, and the door of the shop of the fire weapon slowly opened, only to see the shopkeeper Uncle Jin standing at the door, looking at Qin Luo with a smile.

"Uncle Jin, you're okay. Qin Luo walked over.

Boss Jin smiled and said, "It's just a bandit, do you want to come in? It's not a problem to deal with robbers here." ”

Qin Luo shook his head and said, "I was separated from my friend, it should be in Tianqing Restaurant, I want to go over to find her." ”

Boss Jin nodded, and didn't force him to stay, "Do you need my help?" I can send some people to join you." ”

Qin Luo shook his head and refused, he felt that Boss Jin should not be an ordinary person, because his bearing and cultivation were different from the hawkers in Wanjia Town, that is, Na Otra, the patriarch of the Ao family, he felt that Boss Jin didn't seem to take it seriously, this feeling made Qin Luo very bad, so he didn't want to owe him favors.

Moreover, with his half-step Heavenly Spirit strength, ordinary robbers should not be able to hurt him.

Boss Jin was not reluctant, and said with concern, "Xiao Luo, now that robbers are rampant, you have to be more careful."

Qin Luo nodded slightly, "Thank you, Uncle Jin, then I'll go first." ”

Boss Jin smiled and nodded, after Qin Luo's back disappeared, the smile on Boss Jin's face faded slightly, and he pondered for a while, and said to himself, "He should have guessed something...... Hehe...... Clever boy. ”

"We'll see you again in the future. ”

Boss Jin turned around and walked towards the store, leaving only the corpse in front of the door, which was particularly shocking.

......

The streets of Wanjia Town have fallen silent, and the figures have disappeared~ only a desolate scene.

Qin Luo walked along the alleys of the houses, after all, there should be a large number of bandits on the streets now, and he didn't want to waste time entangling with them.

Walking along the walls of the houses, there are occasional shouts of bandits, or fierce battles between the defenders of the town and the robbers...... It's not lively.

Qin Luo was secretly frightened, how many robbers had infiltrated Wanjia Town, and there were no less than 100 people he had encountered, plus the bandits who were attacking the city outside, I am afraid that there were no less than 1,000 people, and you must know that the standing garrison of Wanjia Town was also more than 800 people.

"Smack..."

Finally, when Qin Luo was approaching a fork in the lane, a slap sounded.

Qin Luo leaned against the wall and looked over secretly, only to see more than a dozen black-clothed people standing in front of him, and a man dressed in a robber's costume on the ground was covering his face and sitting on the ground, his face was very frightened......

"Are you an idiot? The plan is for you little organizations to cause chaos, what are you going to do, to attack other people's weapons. TMD casualties for me, that's how you organized!!" An angry voice from a man in black came, and at the end, another kick was slammed into the abdomen of the man who fell to the ground, causing a miserable snort.

"Well, I didn't plan to rely on them, and now the plan doesn't deviate too much. A deep voice came, and a man in black who looked like a leader waved his hand, but in terms of the voice, he was not old, and even felt a little young.

The leader squatted down and looked at the robber who was holding his stomach, and said indifferently, "Now, take your people and go to the center of Wanjia Town for me, can you do it?"

Although there was no anger in what he said, the robber's body trembled, nodded hurriedly, and ran out with a roll.

One of his subordinates behind him said, "The little boss is really not good, let them create chaos, and they will know that they are greedy." ”

The leader snorted coldly, "It's just cannon fodder, but it doesn't matter, the city gate has already attracted eighty percent of the defenders, and their purpose is just to disperse the remaining forces." He paused, "Is the others in place?"

The subordinate stepped forward and said, "Young master, not yet, but it should be soon, the Iron Wolf Boss has just sent someone to deliver a message, and the elite forces of the five major families have gathered in the Town Mayor's Mansion, so now the major families are extremely empty, and the plan can be launched at any time." ”

The black-clothed leader, known as the young master, nodded.

Seeing that the boss was speechless, his subordinates complimented, "Young Master, once this plan is successful, the five major families will be replaced by our ten bandit groups, and our black dragon will also start an immortal foundation." ”

Qin Luo thought to himself: It seems that the robbers have other plans, they actually want to target the five major families and become the new controlling force, and their ambitions are not small.

Looking at the surrounding environment, on the way to Tianqing Restaurant, I happened to pass by the mayor's mansion, and it seems that I can tell the mayor's mansion the plan first, so that they can prepare early.

Just when Qin Luo was about to leave.

"Then wait until the rat is dealt with first," the black-clad leader suddenly said

"Discovered!!"

Invisible fluctuations came, and the wall that Qin Luo was leaning on cracked into pieces,

Qin Luo retreated violently, very surprised in his heart

"Enlightening Warrior !!"

Standing still in front of the man in black, there was a commotion among the black-clothed robbers around him, and no one expected that someone around him would eavesdrop.

Everyone surrounded and blocked Qin Luo's retreat.

Seeing Qin Luo's appearance, everyone was surprised

Its black-clothed leader said, "I didn't expect the mouse to be a small child...... It's a pity. ”

Qin Luo was silent, the invisible pressure that this leader had given him was too great.

"Kill him!"

The chief ordered.

As soon as the words fell, one of his subordinates raised a knife and slashed at Qin Luo's back.

The strength is good, the mortal body is high-level, it seems that it is the elite of the so-called Black Dragon Thieves Group, Qin Luo felt it slightly, and thought of it.

The footsteps moved slightly, and the body writhed strangely, only to see Qin Luo's footsteps lifting and stepping,

In the middle of the move, he appeared behind the robber, and slashed at the back of the robber's neck with a sharp knife.

With a "pounce", the robber fell to the ground.

The people around didn't even see how Qin Luo moved.

This is the result of Qin Luo's cultivation in the past three months-small moving steps, medium third-order, body method and martial arts, and achieving all kinds of changes in his footsteps between square inches.

When he first learned, Qin Luo was thrown into the red beehive by Qin Shan to avoid the countless bee colonies, and he was almost tortured to death by the bee colony.

The leader's eyes froze, he didn't even see how Qin Luo moved, it seemed that the origin was not simple, and he sneered, "The strength is good, but can you also do it with a bunch of people?"

As he spoke, he waved his big hand and motioned for everyone to rush forward.

Qin Luo was not afraid, he used a small move, and shuttled freely through the crowd, and a robber was beaten out in a short time.

Although the leader's face was covered, he could feel his gloomy state.

Qin Luo's strength was a bit unexpected to him, so many people couldn't even touch him.

Until a low-level martial artist was defeated by Qin Luo, the leader couldn't bear it.

Palm wave.

Qin Luo seemed to sense something, his feet stepped on the ground, jumped out of place, the cyan vitality condensed under his feet, and the bricks exploded.

Qin Luo looked at the black-clothed leader coldly, and sneered, "It's really shameless, as a strong Qiling powerhouse, he actually used a sneak attack against a martial artist who forged his body, and he deserved to be a robber." ”

One hit missed.

The leader was also very shocked, he didn't expect Qin Luo's spiritual sense to be so strong, he could sense the fluctuations from the vitality, which made his killing intent soar, and the more genius he was, the more necessary it was to kill.

Qin Luo lowered his body slightly, and rushed towards the leader, it was not his character to sit and wait for defense, even if it was Qiling, Qin Luo was not afraid at all.

The body is extremely fast, and it brings a gust of wind.

Qin Luo punched the leader's face, and the man in black smiled disdainfully.

"Are you a decoration when the rank gap is an ornament?"

"Bump"

The sound of impact came, and I saw that Qin Luo's fist was only a finger away from the leader's face, but it was unable to move forward.

A cyan light curtain blocked Qin Luo's attack, and the place of contact was rippled like still water throwing stones.

The leader was also shocked by Qin Luo's strength, and the power of this punch was already close to the limit of Yuan Qi defense.

At least it was also a ground-level physique, and the black-clothed leader quickly made a judgment of strength.

Then he snorted coldly, ignoring the fist in front of him, his body leaned slightly, and his right leg, which contained vitality, hit Qin Luo with a knee top.

Seeing that it was fierce, Qin Luo did not back down, and raised his arm to block......

This is not a wise move, and it usually doesn't end well if you take a strong person who is stronger than you.

But Qin Luo is different, this is the first time he has confronted the Qiling powerhouse, the belligerent gene has been activated, and the blood of battle is boiling...... He didn't admit defeat, even if the other party was strong, he wanted to see how strong the attack of the Enlightenment Spirit powerhouse was......

"Bump"

"Knock...... Knock ....... knock"

The sound of collision continued, and I saw that Qin Luo was pushed out by the leader, and directly smashed the walls of the two houses before stopping.

"Hey, what about geniuses, how can you surpass the gap between the Enlightenment Spirit and the Forging Body?"

The black-clothed leader sneered, and he was ready to step forward to kill Qin Luo personally.

"Ahem......"

Coughing could be heard in the rubble.

The man in black frowned, only to see Qin Luo standing up in the ruins, holding the broken wall with his left hand, covering his mouth with his right hand, coughing incessantly, and occasionally writing blood from his fingers, obviously suffering from unclear injuries.

Qin Luo looked at the black-clothed leader in front of him, and secretly smiled bitterly, it was really a big deal, he didn't expect the gap between Qiling and Forging Body to be so big, with the blessing of the vitality, the attack of the black-clothed leader and Qin Luo were simply not on the same order of magnitude.

"Fortunately, the half-step heavenly spirit has endowed me with incomparable spiritual awareness, and I can perceive the fluctuation of vitality, otherwise it would be really dangerous today, and the process of condensing his vitality is relatively slow, so his strength should also be a beginner in the spirit of enlightenment, and the technique of using the vitality is not skilled enough, my father once said that the powerful spirit is strong, and he can invisibly play with the forging martial artist, but ...... Qin Luo covered his chest, and couldn't help baring his teeth, "The attack is too strong, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it anymore, and I must rely on small moves to avoid his attack." ”

Qin Luo quickly analyzed the form in front of him, and decided to rely on his flexible body to fight against the black-clothed leader, he couldn't run away, and Qin Luo didn't have the confidence to outrun the Qiling Martial Artist with the speed of fighting.

Taking a deep breath and stepping on his feet, Qin Luo rushed towards the leader again,

For Qin Luo, "Offense is the strongest defense, even if your strength is stronger than mine......"

The black-clothed leader waved his hands in mid-air, mobilizing the vitality in his body, forming a vitality explosion in the void in front of Qin Luo.

"Boom"

The explosion sounded, and the man in black looked over, hoping to see the fallen figure...... But it backfired, Qin Luo rushed away from the thick smoke and rushed over, but it was okay at all.

Qin Luo had just used his superior perception to tilt his head slightly, dodging the Yuan Force explosion.

The annoyed black-clothed leader was surging with vitality, forming one vitality explosion after another in front of Qin Luo.

The body does not retreat, borrowing the surrounding terrain, moving back and forth, between one forward and one retreat, the crisis dissipates invisibly.

He quickly approached the leader again, dodging a punch from the leader with a small move.

In an instant, he came behind him and punched "Peng" hard

...... The ripples reverberate, and it is the vitality of the body.

The leader turned around and kicked sideways, but Qin Luo couldn't dodge. But he also knew that he was unable to resist, and in the middle of the crisis, Qin Luo stretched out his hands to grab the fierce blow that attacked, and at the same time, his feet were in the air, and with the power of the leader's kick, he flew out.

The moment he approached the wall, he formed a circle in mid-air, and stood firmly on the wall with his feet, and the wall cracked slightly.

Most of the leader's strength was unloaded in the air, and at this time, Qin Luo used his strength against the force, the wall shattered, and he rushed to the leader again, fighting with him closely, and the black-clothed leader's attack did not fall on Qin Luo's body again, and the subtlety of the small movement step was fully reflected.

The sound of fighting is endless, and if you are seen by people from the outside world, you will be shocked out of your soul.

The Enlightenment Realm martial artist is a big realm of the high forging body realm, with the blessing of the Yuan Qi, even the Yuan Dan condensed by the worst mental method, can also make a martial artist who is only a spirit level physique, and his strength skyrockets, regardless of the Yuan Qi barrier that makes all the forging body martial artists desperate, that is, the strength, speed, and defense of the body itself have increased by more than ten times, not to mention that the Enlightenment Martial Artist can use the Yuan Qi to carry out all kinds of powerful martial arts.

It was not a lie that a Spiritual Enlightenment Martial Artist could defeat dozens of Forging Body Realm martial artists at will, because with its defense alone, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Spirit Body to break through.

But......

But Qin Luo himself also knows that he is suffering, if it weren't for the small move, with the speed of the Enlightenment Spirit Martial Artist, Qin Luo would not be able to fight at all, if there is no half-step Heavenly Spirit's physique, a heavy punch from the leader just now would be enough for Qin Luo to see the King of Hades, not to mention the sensitive spiritual sense of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi brought by the half-step Heavenly Spirit, without this Qin Luo, I am afraid that he would have been blown up by the elusive Yuan Qi explosion, it is really indispensable, and he can't make half a mistake.

Even so, Qin Luo hadn't had an effective attack until now, and the Yuan Qi barrier that couldn't be broken through really gave Qin Luo a headache.

Originally, the "Youyan" twin guns were supposed to be able to break the vitality of the body, but they came out too quickly, and he didn't bring them.

The two sides fought fiercely, and time gradually passed......

The small moving footwork was extremely physically demanding, and Qin Luo's movements began to become sluggish......

As its opponent, it was the first time to discover this situation...... The black-clothed leader's offensive became more and more fierce.

It's a shame to fight with a forging body realm for so long.

The sudden attack made Qin Luo's pressure multiply, and he only had the power to parry.

Finally, there was a mistake in his body, the black-clothed leader seized the opportunity to punch Qin Luo's abdomen, the sharp pain came, Qin Luo flew out upside down, the black-clothed leader condensed Yuan with one hand, and the cyan vitality continued to explode on Qin Luo's body......

"Boom Boom"

"Pounce"

Qin Luo fell to the ground, bright red blood covered his body, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he saw that Qin Luo didn't move.

The black-clothed leader sighed lightly, and finally died, it was really hard, this kid was really difficult enough.

Then his eyes were full of murderous intent, with that kind of weird body, and his physique that was at least a ground level, all of which showed that this kid's background was not shallow, maybe it was definitely not something that their black dragon thieves could provoke, and he had to be killed, and even in order to prevent retaliation, even the control of Wanjia Town after the success of the plan may have to be abandoned. Thinking of this, the black-clothed leader was furious.

"Whew... Call.... Whew"

Suddenly, there was a heavy gasping sound, and under the shocked gaze of the black-clothed leader, Qin Luo actually stood up again.

"Damn, it's not even dead," the leader scolded.

Although his face was covered with blood, he couldn't hide Qin Luo's resolute gaze, he couldn't lose, Xu Wei was still waiting for him, Ning Xue was also waiting for him, how could he die here......

The black-clothed leader smiled disdainfully, "It's really good to be able to stand up, but the gap in strength is here, what can you do?"

Qin Luo didn't speak, he was struggling to speak now, and he felt a faint pain in his abdomen, it should be that the attack just now had injured his internal organs.

And my body was blown up in the attack just now, and I don't know how many bones were broken...... If this kind of injury weren't for the physique of a half-step heavenly spirit, even if it was a high-level physique, I am afraid that he would have already died.

The black-clothed leader decided not to delay, condensed the vitality with one hand, and another vitality explosion exploded, exploding in Qin Luo's chest, sensing it, Qin Luo gritted his teeth and jumped backwards to dodge this attack.

If he knows his own affairs, he may have the power of one blow left, and he can't retreat anymore, so he can only go all out, otherwise he will definitely die.

Qin Luo raised the strength of his whole body and rushed towards the man in black, the leader of the man in black looked at Qin Luo mockingly, feeling that an injured ant was making a last stand, but this ant was a little strong.

Mobilizing the vitality, a stream of vitality exploded on Qin Luo's body, Qin Luo rushed over against these explosions, and raised his fist to blast at the black-clothed leader.

He no longer had the strength to dodge the Yuan Qi, and all his strength was aimed at this punch......

"Bump"

As expected, the cyan body protection vitality reappeared, and the man in black looked at Qin Luo in front of him mockingly, he liked to appreciate the genius's desperate expression before he died......

It's a pity that he was disappointed......

Qin Luo's expression, which had been calm, gradually became hideous, desperately princing out every bit of strength in his body.

"Ah!!

With a loud shout, Qin Luo's fist was actually close to the face of the black-clothed leader, only a knuckle away, the black-clothed leader, who didn't want to have variables, decided to end all this, his right hand clenched into a fist, and the thick vitality condensed on it, after this battle, the black-clothed leader's control of the vitality also improved a lot.

Ignoring the attacking fists, Qin Luo seemed to see Ning Xue waiting for help, and Xu Wei with tears on her face......

"They...... are waiting for me. ”

A deep voice came, slowing down the attack of the man in black.

"Ahhh!!!!!!hh

I saw Qin Luo's heart-rending shout

"Boom"

There was a sudden thunderstorm in the heavens and the earth, and Qin Luo's heavy punch broke through the body protection vitality and smashed heavily on the face of the black-clothed leader.

"Pounce"

The leader of the men in black flew upside down, a little blood splattered in the air, and his black mask gradually fell off, and it was a young man about twenty years old.

Blood was running from the corners of the young bandit leader's mouth, but he didn't have the heart to wipe it, because he was looking at Qin Luo in horror under the thunder light in front of him.

Qin Luo stood quietly with his body lowered, sweat mixed with blood and his scattered black hair and fell to the ground.

The thunder light flowed, Qin Luo raised his head slightly, looked at the black-clothed leader who fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly

"Looks like I can't die yet. ”
