"Zi Long, today it's uncertain who lives and who dies!"
"How about this, I'll give your words right back to you. Are you going to do it yourself, or should I?"
Xiao Feng's gaze swept towards Zi Long, and he said with a cold laugh.
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Zi Long glanced at Xiao Feng again, then disdainfully remarked, "Xiao Feng, you're only at Earth-level cultivation. Before me, whether it was then or now, you are nothing more than an ant."
After a pause, Zi Long continued, "Therefore, I really want to know who gave you such immense gall!"
"Heh heh, Zi Long, you've truly become formidable after reaching the Quasi-Heavenly realm!"
"But why didn't I notice this before?"
"Does your might only manifest before those of lower cultivation than you?"
As Zi Long's voice fell, a ethereal voice echoed.
Zi Long was instantly startled. The voice was incredibly familiar. As he followed the sound and looked towards the distant large tree, two large smoke rings rose from beneath it.
The person under the tree had already stood up and was slowly approaching.
"Ye Cangtian, why is it you!"
"Shouldn't you be near Dongjiang City!"
Seeing the other party's confident stride and faint smile, Zi Long almost cried out.
He had heard many rumors about Ye Cangtian, a true Quasi-Heavenly expert, comparable to Po Xiao.
Now that the other party appeared here and was obstructing this operation, in his opinion, it definitely had ulterior motives.
"The Dark Relics are so vast, do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"
Ye Cangtian cast a glance at Zi Long, a look of disdain on his face.
If it were in the past, he would still have had some regard for Zi Long, as he had gradually infiltrated the headquarters of the Dark Association through him.
Although they had fallen out over status afterward, Ye Cangtian had not harbored any murderous intent towards Zi Long.
But just a few days ago, Zi Long, for merits, together with Gu Hai, had annihilated so many families in Xiyin City, which had completely severed Ye Cangtian's dwindling sentiment.
Now, in his eyes, Zi Long was no different from Gu Hai; both were destined to be killed.
"Hmph! Po Xiao, I don't care where you go!"
"But this is Ghost City, and your presence here means even a dragon must crawl and a tiger must lie down for me!"
"If you don't want to die here today, then honestly explain your intentions!"
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Zi Long also became angry and said coldly.
Although Ye Cangtian was as strong as Po Xiao, that was ancient history. Afterward, he only knew that Ye Cangtian had entered the Quasi-Heavenly realm.
Therefore, he was unsure of how strong his true combat power was.
It was precisely because of this uncertainty that he felt a bit of courage. Perhaps Ye Cangtian before him was not as monstrous as Po Xiao!
Moreover, he was now also a Quasi-Heavenly expert, so he might not be inferior to Ye Cangtian!
Most importantly, this was around Ghost City, and Kong Ling was overseeing the city. He didn't believe Ye Cangtian would dare to cause trouble here!
"Heh heh, you've got some courage now!"
Ye Cangtian sneered, then shrugged and said, "Alright, since you're so insistent on knowing, I don't mind telling you. I'm here to do some fishing!"
"Fishing? And for fun?"
Zi Long's eyes widened, and he said darkly, "Ye Cangtian, are you out of your damn mind? This is a mountain forest, there's no water here, what fish are you fishing for!"
"Hahaha..."
As Zi Long's voice fell, Xiao Feng and the others opposite them burst into laughter.
Ye Cangtian's lips also curled into a playful smile, and he said, "Zi Long, what do you think they're laughing at?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Long's face immediately darkened.
No matter how foolish he was, he could see that the other party was laughing at him, which meant his statement was incorrect.
He pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Cangtian with some surprise, saying, "Your so-called fishing is to lure the experts of the Dark Association here, and then kill them one by one?"
"Heh heh, it seems you're not that foolish either!" Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
"You're crazy!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian smilingly admit it, Zi Long roared in anger.
He had truly never met anyone so arrogant.
In his opinion, Ye Cangtian fishing here and killing experts of the Dark Association was akin to a tiger preying on a tiger in its den, a suicidal act.
"Crazy or not, you've taken the bait now."
"As the first fish caught, I can give you a chance to leave a last word!"
Ye Cangtian sneered and slowly drew out the Death Scythe, walking forward step by step.
Seeing this, Zi Long's expression changed again. Without a word, he drew his purple longsword and became vigilant.
He angrily said, "Ye Cangtian, do you think this is China! You still dare to be so audacious!"
"Hmph!"
"Zi Long, stop stalling. The Dark Association won't have time to support you!"
"Let's fight!"
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly. He knew that once Zi Long recognized him, someone would surely go back to report.
But he wouldn't give Zi Long that much time.
Moreover, Kong Ling was constantly monitoring him. If he disappeared from the other party's sight for too long, it would also arouse Kong Ling's suspicion.
Therefore, he had to end this quickly.
Upon hearing this, Zi Long's face turned grim.
The next moment, his body trembled, and surging spiritual energy erupted from his body, forming a thin armor around him.
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
Zi Long's ferocity erupted, and he charged towards Ye Cangtian.
Once upon a time, he was also a fierce character in the Dark Association, so he naturally wouldn't shy away from a fight.
"Good, this is the Zi Long I know!"
Ye Cangtian roared, and simultaneously charged forward.
The Death Scythe in his hand moved with great power, its attacks exceptionally domineering and extremely cunning.
It could be said that the moment the battle began, Ye Cangtian gained an absolute advantage, causing the surrounding guards of the Dark Association to sweat profusely.
They thought that with Zi Long's arrival, he could stabilize the situation and deal with the remnant before them. But who would have thought that another formidable fiend would emerge!
If Zi Long were to be defeated, wouldn't their fate be tragic?
On the other side, Zi Long, fighting against Ye Cangtian, was also inwardly lamenting his misfortune.
Zi Long had given his all, but he was still being suppressed. Several times, his life hung by a thread, but fortunately, his reaction was timely, and he avoided fatal blows.
Even so, within a mere few minutes, Zi Long was already covered in wounds.
"Zi Long, if this is all you've got, then you're doomed today!"
"Considering you are a veteran Earth-level expert of the Dark Association, I'll give you a chance to show your true abilities!"
Ye Cangtian's voice rang out. Suddenly, he stopped his attack and retreated several meters.
Given the current situation, it would be very easy for him to take Zi Long's life.
However, having spent so much time with Zi Long, even though he had to kill him, he didn't want the other party to die in a dejected manner.
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Zi Long's face turned red. He knew very well that if the fight continued like this, he wouldn't last until reinforcements arrived.
Therefore, if he was going to die, he would die spectacularly, fighting to the death!
"Fine, then I'll let you see my true abilities!"
"But I also hope you'll go all out and don't disappoint me!"
With that thought, Zi Long roared and slammed his palm violently onto his chest.
With a "peng" sound, a mouthful of heart blood was sprayed onto his purple longsword.
The next moment, the longsword instantly emitted a demonic purple-red glow. As the light flashed, the aura on the longsword surged.
Feeling this aura, even Ye Cangtian became somewhat solemn.
His keen senses told him that the power of this sword strike was at least equivalent to the full force of a ninth-level Heavenly realm expert's attack, so he could not afford to be careless.
"Didn't expect this, did you? I still had this move up my sleeve!"
"Take your life!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's solemn expression, Zi Long instantly sneered.
This was his ultimate move. This was the first time he had used it since cultivating it.
This move was named "Purple Heart Meteor Kill," and its prerequisite was to sever all meridians, using a mouthful of heart blood to forcefully enhance its power.
It could be said that after this move, regardless of whether the opponent lived or died, he would have his meridians shattered and become a cripple, with no ability to resist.
Therefore, he would never use it unless it was a matter of life and death.
"Heh heh, it seems I did underestimate you before!"
"But with just this move, you're not enough to kill me!"
Seeing the longsword drawn by Zi Long, carrying a strange, colorful rainbow, attacking towards him, Ye Cangtian immediately sneered and swung the Death Scythe in his hand.
