Ambush?
At that moment, I felt as if struck by lightning!
In an instant, I finally understood what the best outcome for Zhengyang was!
He would die by my blade, relieving me of my guilt.
I would die at the hands of his ambushers, fulfilling his sense of justice!!
This was what he called the best outcome!!!
Last time, at the Sun and Moon Alliance, he didn't deceive me; this time, he truly tricked me, luring me to Mount Hua and then setting me up for slaughter!
He had no intention of returning; he came with the thought of exchanging lives with me!
"Why didn't we notice it in advance?"
"Could it be specifically targeting me? I suspect that the Sun and Moon Alliance must have hired a master who has deduced from past clues what methods we are using to monitor them."
Could it be...
I shivered violently in the cold wind at the mountain peak.
Had the monster at the foot of Sun and Moon Alliance emerged? Or was he actually a cultivator?
It was even possible that when I ascended this peak, a master from the Sun and Moon Alliance was lurking nearby where I passed!
However, all of this had long been anticipated by me. It was just a matter of mutual benefit, and by now, I was mentally prepared for this day.
My gaze turned to Bald Qiang, who, along with Big Mouth Lee, was lost in sorrow, weeping uncontrollably over Zhengyang's body. After a moment of hesitation, I gritted my teeth and asked Bald Qiang, "Do you know anything about the ambush set up by Zhengyang?"
They both froze for a moment before slowly lowering their heads, unable to meet my eyes, as if they feared my question.
I no longer needed an answer.
Their attitude had already provided me with the answer.
I instinctively tightened my grip on the Azure Dark Sword, staring at the veins in their necks. A surge of violence and bloodlust welled up within me; I could even feel my hands trembling slightly.
They were accomplices too!
Why?
Why did all of this happen?
My heart roared with questions, but despite raising my blade several times, I couldn't bring myself to strike. After a long while, I finally exhaled deeply and then swiftly slashed off the hem of my black robe. The fabric swirled in the cold wind before landing at the feet of the fat man.
"From this day forth, we are no longer brothers!"
I gritted my teeth and gently closed my eyes, a strange bitterness stirring within me. Unbeknownst to me, two lines of tears had already slipped down my cheeks. I never expected that after everything I had been through, I could still cry.
You have plunged another knife into my already wounded heart!
When I opened my eyes again and looked at Bald Qiang and Big Mouth Lee, they seemed much calmer. Then I spoke slowly and deliberately, "If I spare you today, find a place to hide. The next time we meet, I will not hesitate to eliminate you, just like Zhengyang!"
With that, I turned abruptly and charged down the mountain without looking back. As I descended, I felt the Dragon Power surging within me; each step shattered the ground beneath my feet, ensuring that I wouldn't slip on the slope. I rushed down to the base of the mountain in one breath.
Finally, I arrived at the necessary path away from Mount Hua!
Now, this wide gorge was almost filled with people, nearly three thousand of them. The entire gorge seemed to be teeming with individuals dressed in Snow Combat Suits, draped in White Cloaks that blended seamlessly with the snow. If one wasn't paying attention, it would be hard to notice them.
Since they wouldn't let me live, I would take at least one down with me, maybe even two for profit. I couldn't afford to hesitate; the Killing Intent within me surged like a raging flame. With a swift motion, I charged into the crowd.
I excelled in group battles; each time my Killing Intent erupted, it swept through everything in its path!
With a roar, I lunged forward.
Today, surrounded by enemies, I had no choice but to fight to the death; perhaps there was a slim chance of survival!
Boom!
At that moment, an aged voice unexpectedly echoed around us.
"Where do you think you're escaping to?"
As soon as the voice fell, I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye—dozens of dark figures suddenly surged up from the crowd. Each figure radiated an imposing aura that could only belong to a Ninth-Dan Master!
My heart raced; could it be that an old monster from the Inner Sect had truly arrived!?
I shouted the Ninety-Nine Words of Supreme Divine Language, relentlessly striking at the masters of the Sun and Moon Alliance. Taking advantage of their momentary confusion, I launched another attack, charging straight for the Female Master with a simple goal: eliminate her first!
As long as I took her down, the remaining thirty would either be dead or severely injured, effectively incapacitating their masters!
I moved swiftly, almost in the blink of an eye, closing in on that old fellow. Swinging my Azure Dark Sword, I aimed a strike directly at him!
Boom!
My sword struck against the Light Barrier they had conjured, slicing through it effortlessly. The momentum of my longsword remained unabated as I aimed directly at the Old Woman's forehead.
Just then, without any warning, a voice echoed above me: "Haha, good child, fiery temperament and such strong aggression—just like I was in my youth!"
From the moment that voice appeared, I realized with horror that I had been immobilized!
An invisible force suddenly bound my movements, as if the air had turned to sludge. I was trapped in this mire, completely unable to move!!
This is Earth Power!!!
Damn it, a master of Reverse Fate has appeared!!!
After Reverse Fate, merging with the earth allows one to control the power of the ground. Unfortunately, my time after Reverse Fate was too short; I hadn’t even begun to grasp this level!
It must be an old monster from the Inner Sect!
I was alarmed and instinctively looked up, only to see a figure in black clothing—the White-Haired Elder—slowly descending from the sky.
He truly floated down from above, like a parachute, descending gradually until he calmly sat cross-legged over a hundred meters high above me!
Is this really a god?
This is definitely that old monster from the Sun and Moon Alliance!
"Child, stop struggling and give up!"
The old man looked down at me and said slowly, "I am willing to take you as my disciple. How about you cease your efforts?"
Take me as his disciple? Hell no!
I couldn't help but sneer at that moment. Even though I was restrained, it didn't mean I had surrendered. Turning to face the old man, I enunciated each word clearly, "Do you think you're worthy? What are you? Besides causing chaos, what else do you know? With trash like you, you want to be my master? Here’s a word for you: get lost!"
The old man was a formidable figure, and being insulted like this darkened his expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "You’re asking for death!"
With that, he raised his arm, and I felt the force controlling me push me violently. I was sent flying backward in a parabolic arc, crashing hard onto the ground. It hurt so much that I nearly lost consciousness, but I quickly pushed myself up and stood tall. The Killing Intent surged beneath my feet, propelling me forward like a cannonball as I charged straight at the old man again!
"You overestimate yourself."
The old man dismissed me with those four words. Then, he lightly flicked his fingers, and suddenly I felt an invisible force strike my chest. It came without warning and was incredibly powerful, shattering my Protective Killing Intent as it slammed into me.
Crack!
I heard a sharp sound as my sternum cracked under the impact, and I fell to the ground again, barely avoiding a fatal landing!
