Wang Bing also simply considered himself unlucky and fled in a different direction.
However, Ying Mao had already set his sights on him.
"The Black Forest is not a place you can just come and go as you please!"
Because they were too close, the two instantly exchanged blows.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Trees cracked and fell, and the residual shockwaves from their punches could blast small pits several centimeters deep in the soil.
After exchanging several moves, Wang Bing's expression grew somewhat strange.
How dare someone at the peak of the sixth layer confront him?
Ying Mao sneered, "Don't think I don't know your purpose. Do you dare expose yourself now?"
In Ying Mao's view, the person from the General Bureau this time was looking for a collaborator, and naturally wouldn't dare to alert too many people, much less expose this collaborator.
This meant that fighting him, the person from the General Bureau absolutely wouldn't dare to use his full strength!
And what he needed to do was to create as much noise as possible to attract others.
With one side holding back and the other pushing forward, the gap between them would naturally widen infinitely.
This was why Ying Mao dared to make a move even after sensing that his opponent was a seventh-layer expert.
Wang Bing didn't reply, finding it all inexplicably baffling.
Isn't this common sense? I'm on your turf, how could I dare to expose myself?
However, why do you seem to think I'm afraid to kill you?
Using a joint lock to deflect the opponent's attack, Ying Mao completely disregarded Wang Bing's subsequent moves and threw a hook towards his face.
This move was clearly an exchange of blows, and it was the kind where you harm the enemy by eight hundred and hurt yourself by one thousand five!
If Wang Bing had gone all out, this guy would likely have lost his life!
However, Wang Bing still didn't go all out, as doing so would inevitably cause a larger disturbance.
After all, this was someone else's stronghold. Once surrounded, he might be finished today.
Each with their own thoughts, one fought with exhilaration, the other with frustration.
Meanwhile, Chen Pingfan, who had just run a short distance, was blocked by a figure.
"Brother Li? You've arrived just in time! The mission is complete, let's get out of here quickly?"
"No! You go back and help immediately!"
Chen Pingfan's expression froze.
"Help? Help who?"
Li Chonglou rolled his eyes, "Of course, help beat that guy up! Otherwise, your identity would have been exposed for nothing."
Chen Pingfan realized what he meant, but he said with a wry smile, "Brother Li, that's someone at the peak of the sixth layer! What if they shift their attention and focus on me..."
Li Chonglou comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you. Nothing will happen."
"You keep an eye on me?"
He didn't voice the words "Is that useful?" but the meaning was clear.
With time pressing, Li Chonglou was too lazy to explain much, and could only sternly say, "This is an order. Trust me!"
Chen Pingfan's expression faltered. Just as he was about to say something, Li Chonglou urged, "Hurry up, there's no time!"
Chen Pingfan gritted his teeth and immediately turned back.
In the forest, although the sound of their fighting had been somewhat restrained, the commotion still attracted the attention of the guards on duty nearby.
"Enemy invasion! Quickly notify the Boss and the others!"
Wang Bing's expression grew more urgent. He knew the situation here and could only delay them for another five minutes at most.
And that was assuming the guards actively reported it. If he were the one causing the disturbance, the experts would likely rush out in less than a minute!
Ying Mao gambled on this very fact, using all his might to stall Wang Bing.
This made the latter curse under his breath.
This guy is so damn annoying!
Just then, Chen Pingfan suddenly returned.
Wang Bing frowned, while Ying Mao's face lit up.
"Junior Brother, you've returned at the perfect time! Let's join forces first..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Pingfan's fist had already swung out fiercely.
"You!"
Although he was only at the fifth layer, caught off guard and outnumbered, Ying Mao was hit squarely in the face by the fist.
Wang Bing was somewhat stunned. What was going on?
"What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
Chen Pingfan let out a cold snort and continued to charge at Ying Mao.
"Bastard! You're courting death!"
The full aura of his peak sixth-layer strength erupted. Enraged, Ying Mao glared intently at Chen Pingfan.
Uh, he's angry now?
Chen Pingfan immediately halted his steps. Wang Bing's figure flashed past him, his expression carrying a hint of peculiarity.
There were more strange things happening nowadays. A sixth-layer expert dared to be so arrogant towards him, and a fifth-layer expert dared to attack a sixth-layer expert.
But no matter what, the statement "kill him" was correct.
Because he too was truly reaching his limit!
"Do you really think I won't kill you?"
Ying Mao's aggressive stance suddenly faltered. He clearly sensed something was wrong.
Run!
Ying Mao decisively turned to flee, but at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
A strange fragrance suddenly entered his nostrils. The next instant, Ying Mao's divine sense went blank.
"What's happening?"
Ying Mao was greatly alarmed because when his divine sense returned, a fist that had been several meters away just a moment ago was now in front of his chest.
It was as if he had teleported!
The fist was aimed directly at his heart, clearly intending to take his life!
In a moment of crisis, Ying Mao suddenly roared.
"Detonate!"
Boom!
A violent explosion turned all the trees within a dozen meters into ashes, and even the weeds on the ground vanished.
Three figures were sent flying out from the blast.
Ying Mao spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest, and fled towards his hiding place without looking back.
His eyes were filled with killing intent!
"Island nation, General Bureau! I will definitely get revenge for this!"
To almost lose his life on his own territory was something no one could easily accept!
Moreover, to protect himself, he had detonated his only secret treasure, making this loss not insignificant for him!
The violent explosion had separated the three. It was too late to pursue them, so Wang Bing could only choose to withdraw.
Originally, he had intended to leave with Chen Pingfan, but the latter deliberately put distance between them. Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Bing could only choose a safe path for himself.
A moment later, Chen Pingfan reunited with Li Chonglou.
"How was it? I told you I wouldn't betray you."
Li Chonglou said with a calm smile.
"Brother Li, was that you just now?"
Ying Mao suddenly paused. Both of them had seen that clearly.
Li Chonglou didn't explain, but changed the subject, "It looks like we can wrap up early this time. No need to find another one."
"Heh heh, it was mainly because my act was so convincing! That guy probably still doesn't recognize whether I'm real or fake."
Chen Pingfan chuckled, a hint of pride on his face.
Indeed, it was something to be proud of. A fifth-layer cultivator putting on such a convincing act in front of a sixth-layer enemy, and completely in control of the situation.
Even Li Chonglou would have felt a sense of accomplishment!
