Ye Ling stood alone at the entrance of the dungeon, hesitating for a moment before quietly setting up a barrier around its perimeter, isolating the commotion within.
Although Ye Ling’s barrier was useless against experts at the Seven Pillars level, it could still isolate all the guards and jailers from other areas who were below that level.
As for the task assigned to Ye Ling by the masked man, Ye Ling had no intention of carrying it out.
Now that the masked man was alone, chasing Ah Liu into the depths of the dungeon, this was an excellent opportunity for Ye Ling to kill the masked man!
Since Ah Liu was also a Seven Pillar, even if her strength was slightly weaker than the masked man, she should be at the same level. Coupled with Ye Ling’s own Devouring Domain and Ink Space, which were sufficient to kill opponents of higher levels, killing the masked man was not impossible if handled properly.
With killing intent arising, Ye Ling no longer hesitated and pursued into the depths of the dungeon.
During the time Ye Ling was delayed outside the dungeon, the entire dungeon had descended into chaos, with ruins and the corpses of prisoners everywhere.
Even if the two Seven Pillar experts did not directly engage in combat, their mere aura during the chase was enough to cause the deaths of prisoners with slightly weaker strength. If they had met face-to-face, even more prisoners would have died!
As Ye Ling walked, all the cell barriers were broken. The few surviving prisoners did not escape immediately but instead fought with prisoners from other cells. The entire dungeon was in utter disarray.
“With this level of chaos, that masked man shouldn’t notice me. This is precisely my chance to approach him!”
Ye Ling looked at the chaotic dungeon, rejoicing inwardly. He used runes to shield all his aura and quickened his pace into the depths of the dungeon.
As Ye Ling ventured deeper into the dungeon, the spiritual pressure he felt grew stronger, and even the surrounding space began to distort slightly.
“They should be ahead.”
Feeling the powerful spiritual pressure, Ye Ling instinctively slowed his steps, cautiously approaching the depths of the dungeon.
At this point, there was no intact area left in the depths of the dungeon. The space around Ah Liu and the masked man had completely collapsed, indicating that the two had just exchanged blows.
The masked man looked at Ah Liu, who was fiercely protecting Ye Ling, his eyes filled with increasing amusement. He chuckled and said, “Ah Liu, your strength was never on par with mine. Now, you even have to divide your attention to protect that brat. You’re no match for me. Why struggle now?”
“Enough nonsense!” Ah Liu said coldly, and a divine sword radiating multicolored light slowly condensed in her hand.
A powerful sword intent emanated from the divine sword, causing the already distorted space to become even more distorted!
Upon seeing the sword in Ah Liu’s hand, the masked man’s eyes narrowed slightly. He then said to Ah Liu, “It seems you’re not pretending anymore. I’ve never seen you use this sword before, Ah Liu.”
“Tell me, where is the real Ah Liu?”
“Ah Liu” replied, “If I say she’s already dead, would you believe me?”
“Based on what?” The masked man did not believe “Ah Liu’s” words at all. Then, a dark long saber slowly condensed in his hand.
“It seems that before the other Seven Pillars arrive, I need to teach you a good lesson and make you behave.”
“You’re welcome to try.”
“Ah Liu” protected the jailer with a barrier, then assumed a stance, condensing her aura to its peak!
Seeing “Ah Liu’s” movement, the masked man’s eyes grew more amused. He raised his saber and lightly slashed down.
Boom!!!
The dark saber energy directly tore through space and slashed towards “Ah Liu” at an extremely high speed!
“Ah Liu’s” eyes showed no fear as she wielded her sword and slashed towards the saber energy swung by the masked man.
Boom!!!
The divine sword collided with the saber energy. The multicolored divine radiance swirling around it instantly tore apart the saber energy unleashed by the masked man!
Ye Ling, who had just arrived at the depths of the dungeon, witnessed the exchange between “Ah Liu” and the masked man. The boundless divine might directly impacted Ye Ling, almost shattering his runes!
Fortunately, Ye Ling had prepared for the impact in advance. He managed to withstand the residual shockwaves from the battle of the two powerhouses, stabilizing himself in the depths of the dungeon without exposing his presence.
“That is?”
Having stabilized himself, Ye Ling saw the sword in “Ah Liu’s” hand and his heart skipped a beat.
That sword was something he was all too familiar with!
It was the Soul Suppressing Sword, the first master he encountered after returning to Earth!
Upon seeing the Soul Suppressing Sword, Ye Ling now understood the identity of the masked woman.
“I never expected Master Zi You to be a Seven Pillar on the surveillance side… Did she come here after leaving Earth?”
Ye Ling recognized Zi You’s identity, which also reassured him.
After all, when he first encountered the statues of good and evil on Earth, Zi You’s statue was with them!
Although Zi You had only displayed cultivation at the Creation God level at the time, Ye Ling, having witnessed the endless tricks of good and evil, knew that the Zi You he had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg!
Furthermore, Zi You, as the biological sister of Good and the disciple of Evil, had such a background. Ye Ling was certain that Good and Evil would never let Zi You fall here!
“It seems I can latch onto a powerful ally this time and get my revenge!”
After seeing Zi You and the Soul Suppressing Sword, Ye Ling quietly activated the rune he had hidden within the jailer’s body, sending a message to Zi You.
Zi You, who was still distracted by dealing with the masked man, was stunned for a moment after receiving Ye Ling’s message. Then, as if nothing had happened, she continued to fight the masked man.
However, unknowingly, Zi You focused all her attention on the masked man, neglecting to protect the jailer!
The masked man glanced at the jailer disguised as Ye Ling behind Zi You, a slight smile curling his lips. He then chuckled at Zi You, “Ah Liu, you are too naive. You know… this is a battle to the death, not a sparring match?”
Zi You asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
“I mean… of course, to win, one can resort to any means!”
The masked man sneered, then suddenly exerted force, shaking off Zi You’s Soul Suppressing Sword. He seized the fleeting opportunity, passed through Zi You, and shattered Zi You’s barrier with a punch, grabbing the jailer!
“Ye Ling!!!”
Seeing the masked man grab the jailer, Zi You cried out in alarm, as if Ye Ling had truly been captured!
The masked man grabbed the jailer’s head and smiled at Zi You, “Ah Liu, if you want this brat to live, then obediently discard your divine sword and give up resisting.”
“Understand?”
