Chapter 195: They're All Ruthless People
Zhao Li's calm voice traveled thousands of feet through Space, reaching their ears as if he were whispering right beside them.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Mo Xuyu was the first to move. In a few strides, he was already in front of Zhao Li.
The remaining two exchanged glances, their eyes instantly filled with wariness. The mysterious Dou Sect expert had no interest in watching the show. In a few flashes, he left the area.
Old Man Yin Shan's eyes darted around, a look of amusement on his face, and he followed:
"Heh heh, someone's about to have a bad time."
Although he hadn't sensed any powerful aura from Zhao Li, ever since he'd tried to rob him due to his perceived wealth and ended up losing money to avoid disaster, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
Later, he even intentionally observed Zhao Li. Whether it was moving freely within his Space Lock earlier, or at the Auction, and even his current various displays, Zhao Li gave him a transcendent feeling, as if all of them were just toys, not even worth an old piece of agarwood...
Though somewhat unbelievable, he somehow felt that was the truth.
Mo Xuyu was wary, afraid Zhao Li was playing some trick. He didn't land on the small hill but stood still in The Void, taking everything below into view. The small valley was bare; aside from the melon-eating setup Zhao Li had produced, there was nothing else unusual.
Zhao Li felt that the scene of a Dou Sect battle probably wouldn't happen, which was a bit of a shame. He shook his head slightly, looked at the extremely cautious Mo Xuyu, and asked plainly:
"Sect Master Mo, is something the matter? If it's about what was said earlier, there's no need to repeat it."
His fist slowly clenched in his sleeve. Mo Xuyu's eyes narrowed slightly. He felt that Zhao Li's fearlessness meant he had a backup plan. Reason told him he should abandon his idea, but for an Alchemist like this, if he couldn't be used by him, he felt unwilling.
A gloomy and hesitant look crossed Mo Xuyu's face. After struggling for a while, he slowly spoke:
"Little brother, even if you have a formidable background, in this Black Corner Region, who isn't a ruthless and evil person? For your safety, it's best to stay at my Black Emperor Sect for a while."
Hearing this, Old Man Yin Shan, who had rushed over from behind, couldn't help but mock him again:
"Who has such a big mouth? Oh, it turns out to be Sect Master Mo. My apologies, my apologies. Tsk, I'm envious. Not only is he one of the top experts in the Black Corner Region, but he also manages a behemoth like the Black Emperor Sect. No wonder, even the way he 'invites' people is so... so... particularly overbearing. Yes, particularly overbearing."
Yin Shan couldn't think of a word for a moment, struggled for a while, and finally managed to squeeze out a sarcastic remark.
"Old Monster Yin Shan, are you looking for death? Since you're unwilling to leave, then stay here forever."
Having been provoked by Yin Shan repeatedly, Mo Xuyu was no longer willing to tolerate it and immediately erupted.
His face was extraordinarily dark at this moment, his eyes completely black, so much so that even the whites of his eyes were invisible, like an abyss that drew people in. Coupled with his somewhat distorted face, it was truly terrifying.
At the same time, an aura even more vast and powerful than that of the mysterious Dou Sect expert earlier, mixed with a nearly tangible violence and killing intent, erupted, like a primeval beast escaping its cage, ready to devour people.
Although Mo Xuyu's frightening Momentum was mainly directed at Yin Shan, it also enveloped Zhao Li.
Zhao Li didn't feel anything; instead, he became expectant. He hadn't expected them to actually start fighting. This Old Man Yin Shan had probably been sarcastic for a long time; he was indeed good at mocking.
Unlike Zhao Li's relaxed demeanor, Old Man Yin Shan felt Mo Xuyu's aura, which was slightly stronger than his own, and his expression became serious. He knew that at the Dou Sect level, even a slight difference in Cultivation Level resulted in a huge difference in combat power.
"Sect Master Mo has such a strong killing intent. Even if this old man is not your opponent, heh heh, if you want to defeat this old man, you'll have to pay the price of severe injury. At that time..."
Yin Shan glanced at Zhao Li and chuckled.
"Yin Shan, you're still thinking about this at a time like this? You truly don't know what you're talking about. He's just a rich young master who doesn't know the dangers of the world. What kind of waves can he possibly stir up?"
Mo Xuyu looked disdainful. While mocking, he waved his large sleeve, and a streak of black Dou Qi emitting a chilling aura shot out from his sleeve. It was as fast as lightning and went straight for Yin Shan's eyes.
At the same time, his figure moved, and he appeared strangely behind Old Man Yin Shan. His sleeves puffed up without wind, revealing the fist inside that had been accumulating power for a long time. He smashed it towards Yin Shan's head, blocking his retreat.
Yin Shan's eyes were stinging from the Dou Qi streak, and he felt the strong wind at the back of his head. A fierce light also flashed in his eyes. His withered hand reached out from his sleeve, then curled into a claw. With a gentle twist and turn, the two streaks of Dou Qi were drawn into his palm, and he took the opportunity to grab at Mo Xuyu's wrist Meridians.
Crack—
Bang—
The sound of bone cracking and the sound of a fist colliding with flesh came simultaneously. At the same time, two powerful bursts of Dou Qi exploded like thunder, and a strong energy storm scattered, sweeping towards the sky.
The energy wind blew across the sky, making the trees in the forest creak. In the forest, those who hadn't gone far, or those who were fighting, stopped for a moment and looked over, feeling both fortunate and awestruck.
Dou Sect experts are truly terrifying!
Immediately, the争抢 and fighting continued, but some people quietly found positions and watched the battle between the two from afar. Dou Sect battles were rare even in the Black Corner Region, so they naturally didn't want to miss it...
"As expected of the Black Corner Region, truly ruthless. They're going all out from the very first exchange."
Zhao Li clicked his tongue in amazement. The battles he had experienced were either crushing victories or crushing defeats. He had never seen such an evenly matched battle and watched with great interest.
Just now, Mo Xuyu had actually endured the injury of his Meridians being gripped and his wrist bone shattering, and with Yin Shan's hand claw still attached, he smashed it onto Yin Shan's shoulder.
Even though Yin Shan saw how fierce he was and forcibly avoided his head, with that one blow, his shoulder still caved in heavily, making him grit his teeth in pain.
They had exchanged blows once, but neither had gained an advantage.
Zhao Li saw the two stop and not make another move, but the killing intent in their eyes did not diminish. It was clear they were brewing bigger killing moves. Perhaps the next exchange would decide life and death.
"Unfortunately, Yin Shan is old, and his strength is inferior. I'm afraid he's doomed today."
In Zhao Li's perception, both the Dou Qi and Life Force in Mo Xuyu's body were more active than Yin Shan's. If there were no surprises, Yin Shan was certain to die.
An unexpected event occurred.
The two exchanged blows for several more rounds, trading injuries for injuries and lives for lives. Both were wounded again.
With a muffled bang, the two retreated again, Yin Shan's expression changing constantly. No matter how unwilling he was to believe it, he had to admit that in the current situation, if he stubbornly persevered and continued fighting, he might...
He might really fall into the hands of this former junior...
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. After a while, Old Man Yin Shan looked at the killing intent surging in Mo Xuyu's eyes, narrowed his eyes, then turned to Zhao Li, gritted his teeth fiercely, and knelt down in The Void:
"This junior is willing to offer the Ten-Thousand-Year Agarwood, as well as a Soul Nurturing Method. Please, Senior, save me."
He was also a very shrewd person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to repeatedly provoke Mo Xuyu after robbing Zhao Li. He knew that in this situation, he had no choice but to take a gamble. However, he felt a mix of emotions – envy, jealousy, and hatred.
When he first made a name for himself, Mo Xuyu was just a child. A hundred years later, he had barely broken through to the Dou Sect realm, while Mo Xuyu had not only caught up but surpassed him. Even he felt a sense of helplessness.
Seeing Yin Shan's sudden action, both Mo Xuyu and Zhao Li were somewhat taken aback.
A scene flashed through Mo Xuyu's mind: Yin Shan compensating Zhao Li. His heart was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
But thinking of everything that had just happened, his heart stirred, and he prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Yin Shan:
"Heh heh, Yin Shan, you're really getting more pathetic as you get older. Once I deal with you, that kid won't escape either. You don't need to put on such a show."
