Gu Liu Ma turned his head to glance at the brutally slain No Woman, expressing regret: "This woman wouldn't let me see you, so it's all her own doing!"
Black Dragon Saint Lord was very cautious and immediately returned to the main topic: "With your capabilities, how dare you talk business with me? What are you even worth?"
Gu Liu Ma's expression gradually darkened, and he got straight to the point: "I offer you a chance to live, but from now on, you must follow my arrangements!"
"Ah hahaha!" Black Dragon Saint Lord laughed wildly after hearing this: "This is the funniest joke I've heard! Gu Liu Ma, how dare you negotiate terms with me? Why should I trust you? What benefits do I get?"
Gu Liu Ma's eyes glimmered with greed, his shining gaze alluring: "After conquering the world, I'll share half of it with you! I will govern the human realm, and you will govern the demon realm. What do you think?"
"Hmm?" Black Dragon Saint Lord frowned. This guy was talking nonsense, standing here negotiating a share of the world. He laughed arrogantly: "I say, old man, are you joking with me?"
Gu Liu Ma sighed deeply and shook his head: "It seems the deal has fallen through. If that's the case, I'll have no choice but to kill you. But don't regret it!"
The corner of Black Dragon's mouth curled into a chilling smile, as cold and piercing as the March wind: "That depends on whether you have the ability!"
Gu Liu Ma, who was not tall and appeared somewhat frail, seemed not particularly formidable at first glance. He slowly untied the bindings on his pants and removed the tightly wrapped bandages, revealing several pieces of black metal firmly attached to his legs.
This was what people referred to when they said martial artists often train by placing lead or iron weights on their legs; it was a form of mental and physical training.
Black Dragon watched him remove the weights from his legs and held them in his hands, unable to suppress a sneer: "What is this? I thought it was something impressive; it's just a few broken iron pieces!"
Gu Liu Ma smirked dismissively: "For an opponent of your caliber, it seems I need to put in some real effort."
This was his way of complimenting his opponent. As he spoke, he tossed the two black metal pieces in his hand; they landed with loud thuds that created a large hole in the floor, and judging by the sound, they continued falling downwards.
After seven or eight thuds, Black Dragon's expression darkened instantly. What kind of heavy weights were these that could smash through seven or eight floors? This bastard didn't seem easy to deal with.
"Holy Ten Exorcists, second place, right?" Black Dragon spread his hands, black claws extending from between his fingers, glinting sharply: "Don't worry; I'll make sure you disappear from the rankings soon!"
Killing Intent swirled in the air, and the air beneath their feet began to boil, enveloping the two individuals. Through the broken roof, the moon emitted a faint purple hue, ghostly and sinister.
Standing on the rooftop, the Ox Demon was completely sobered by the commotion, and from his vantage point, he could see the two skilled fighters below who were about to engage. He muttered in frustration, "Well, there goes my chance to drink!"
Just finishing a battle, Lan Ran Qingtian turned to glance at the large hole in the ground. Although he wasn't entirely sure what was happening, he understood that Gu Liu Ma must have found Black Dragon Saint Lord.
"Ugh!" Heizhu sat on the ground, clutching his chest, his body covered in injuries from Qingtian's storm-like attack. Qingtian waved his hand to disperse the swirling flames. "Looks like I need to hurry up and help!"
"Hey, you're not allowed to leave!" Heizhu tried to get up but ended up sitting back down on the ground. "Keep fighting; I'm not dead yet!"
Lan Ran Qingtian sighed heavily and touched the singed ends of his hair, feeling quite troubled. He had ended up with such a nagging and persistent opponent.
"You should really rest; you can’t even stand!" Lan Ran Qingtian wanted to save time and turned to leave. However, Heizhu suddenly lunged at him, pinning him to the ground. "You’re not leaving until we settle this!"
"Come on, let go of me! It hurts!" Qingtian protested as Heizhu held onto his arm. His shoulder, which had just been dislocated, was about to suffer a second dislocation. He pounded the ground in frustration. "I don’t want to kill you; just let me go!"
"No way! Get up; we’re going another round!" Heizhu was determined to enjoy this rare moment of excitement after hundreds of years. Suddenly, an idea struck him as he slapped the floor and laughed. "How about you join Holy Monarch's side? Take down Cat Demon and become a second general; then we can spar every day!"
"What? Second general? No way!" Lan Ran Qingtian shouted in panic as he was pinned down by Heizhu, his face turning red from exertion.
Li Yunyang slowly made his way up from below. He was also seriously injured and moving very slowly. However, he could hear Qingtian's cries from afar and hurried over despite the pain.
"What’s going on?" Li Yunyang wondered if Qingtian was in trouble and rushed over to help. Upon arriving, he immediately saw two large men sprawled on the ground in a rather ambiguous position.
Li Yunyang's jaw dropped in shock as he finally managed to say after a long pause, "Qingtian, you really have a preference; first it was Lian Cheng Xue, and now you’re settling for just any man!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and help! My arm is about to break!" Qingtian's face turned nearly green with anger; Li Yunyang's comments were incredibly thoughtless, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
The two quickly tied Heizhu to the pillar using the Serpent Whip. Li Yunyang looked up at the ceiling, listening to the loud thumping sounds above; it seemed that things were getting quite chaotic up there.
"Let's hurry up. Gu Senior must have encountered the Black Dragon, and we have no idea what’s going on with Lian Xiong!" Qingtian said as he turned and walked toward the opposite side. Heizhu called out, seemingly unsatisfied, "Hey, Lan Ran Qingtian, think it over!"
This rascal, Qingtian silently cursed under his breath, but then Li Yunyang chimed in, "Wow? Considering marriage? Have your relationship developed to that point?"
"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll seal your mouth!" Lan Ran Qingtian finally got angry; he wasn't afraid of a wolf-like opponent but dreaded a pig-like teammate.
When they reached the top floor of the ancient castle, an intense battle had already begun. The strongest warrior under the Demon Lord: Black Dragon Saint Lord vs. Holy Ten Exorcists No. 2 Gu Liu Ma. Such a fight was not to be missed.
In the sky, sparks erupted from Gu Liu Ma's legs like lightning. With one kick, he shattered the entire pillar; such powerful leg strength exceeded that of an ordinary human.
"Meteor Fist!" Suddenly, he clasped his fists and seized the opportunity to strike fiercely at the Black Dragon. The Black Dragon leaped, and his fists missed, crashing into the floor instead, causing it to collapse with a loud crash.
Lan Ran Qingtian and Li Yunyang widened their eyes in shock; just using a three-word technique had already unleashed such tremendous power. The second of the Holy Ten Exorcists was indeed formidable.
The Black Dragon did not back down either. With a swift motion, a long knife engraved with a dragon appeared in his hand. He swung the massive blade effortlessly as powerful air currents began to gather around its black body. Raising the blade high, he shouted, "Amaterasu: Black Dragon Slash!"
"Wow!" The sword energy completely tore off the roof, sending debris flying everywhere and blinding those below. Li Yunyang quickly grabbed onto a pillar; otherwise, he would have been blown away by the sword energy. Now that the roof was gone, they were left exposed under the bright moonlight.
However, if this continued, it seemed that the entire ancient castle would be demolished by these two. Lan Ran Qingtian looked up and saw the Black Dragon transforming into a dragon form, soaring into the sky with a roar. Gu Liu Ma looked up as well; feeling a gust of wind beneath him, he shot toward the Black Dragon with a swift motion.
