"Who dares trespass upon our Hua Xia encampment!"
As the two conversed, a voice like thunder boomed.
In a blink, an elder in white robes walked before them, none other than Bai Zhenshan, who was guarding this place.
When he saw the golden mask on the other's face, he couldn't help but be stunned. He had never imagined that the Dark Association would appear here.
However, he mused, the Bright Hall had launched countless sneak attacks, knowing they were fruitless and would only fall into an ambush, so they wouldn't attempt another.
Only the newly arrived Dark Association would resort to such tricks.
The next moment, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he said darkly, "What? Is the Dark Association not content staying in the Dark Ruins and has become interested in our Hua Xia Ruins as well? Are you prepared to die?"
"Die?"
"I laugh. Old man, do you think you can stop me?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Bai Zhenshan with feigned disdain, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Presumptuous! How dare you bellow here!"
As soon as his voice fell, an enraged roar echoed. The speaker was none other than Yang Chen.
After reprimanding Ye Cangtian, he quickly turned to Bai Zhenshan and said, "Lord Bai, this brat is spewing nonsense. Let me go and face him!"
Yang Chen's fighting spirit burned fiercely. He had long heard that the Earth-grade Envoys of the Dark Association were difficult to deal with.
Now that he had also become an Earth-grade expert, he truly wished to test the truth of the rumors.
"Good! You shall assist this old man in dealing with him, but be careful of everything!"
With the enemy at their doorstep, Bai Zhenshan spoke no more and readily agreed.
He had indeed heard legends of Dawn.
However, not much, and the opponent was merely an Earth-grade Envoy, so he felt no need to personally intervene.
It would also be good for Yang Chen to gain some experience.
Clang! Clang!
Having received Bai Zhenshan's permission, Yang Chen drew his Divine Demonic Double Axes without a word and stepped forward.
"Are you two going to come one by one, or all at once?"
Heh, this brat seems to have gained confidence from guarding this place!
Looking at the boastful Yang Chen, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself and took a step forward.
"Good, very good. I've long heard of a person called Dawn in the Dark Association, and that his strength is not bad. Since we've met today, let us battle for three hundred rounds!"
Seeing Dawn step forward and make a welcoming gesture, Yang Chen's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
The next moment, Yang Chen was not polite, and he unleashed his moves with both hands.
It was one of his signature skills, Whirlwind.
The Divine Demonic Double Axes transformed into two streams of light, one black and one white, carving perfect arcs as they slashed towards Ye Cangtian.
All the soldiers around, seeing Yang Chen unleash Whirlwind, displayed faint smiles on their faces.
In their memory, Whirlwind was an unrivaled technique that had slain countless experts of the Bright Hall on the battlefield. Now, Dawn hadn't even moved, clearly caught off guard.
There could only be one outcome: death from underestimating the enemy.
Snap! Snap!
Just as everyone was expecting to see blood spatter, two faint sounds echoed.
The black and white streams of light stopped abruptly in front of Dawn.
Upon closer inspection, the Divine Demonic Double Axes, which should have flown back, were now in Dawn's hands.
Most importantly, no one had seen when Dawn had made his move!
"Hiss..."
For a moment, the Hua Xia soldiers gasped in unison, and even Bai Zhenshan's forehead beaded with cold sweat.
Whirlwind possessed immense destructive power and rotated extremely rapidly. Bai Zhenshan was not confident he could parry it with his bare hands, yet the Dawn opposite him had accomplished it.
Therefore, in his opinion, Dawn's strength should not be inferior to his own, making it difficult to capture the opponent.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the momentum is not bad, but the strength is a bit lacking."
On the other side, Ye Cangtian glanced at Yang Chen, mockingly sneering. He then casually tossed the Divine Demonic Double Axes, dropping them at Yang Chen's feet.
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen's face instantly flushed red. He immediately grabbed the Divine Demonic Double Axes from the ground and charged at Ye Cangtian again.
"Don't go!"
Bai Zhenshan had already discerned some of Dawn's strength and quickly tried to stop him, but it was too late.
"Damn it, I don't believe I can't chop you down!"
With an angry roar, Yang Chen leaped high into the air.
The double axes in his hands, like thunder, emitted rumbling sounds as they once again slashed towards Ye Cangtian's head.
"Heh heh, the power is decent, but it's too slow."
The mocking voice sounded again. Ye Cangtian flashed and directly dodged Yang Chen's most ferocious move – Thunderbolt.
Boom!
The double axes landed heavily on the ground, creating a series of booming sounds. A crack about a meter deep appeared in the ground.
However, it wasn't over. Yang Chen, having missed his attack, did not give up but swept his double axes horizontally.
But before the double axes could hit Ye Cangtian, Ye Cangtian suddenly stepped forward, extending his large hand and firmly grasping Yang Chen by the neck.
"This..."
Seeing Yang Chen fall into the hands of the Dawn opposite him, Bai Zhenshan's expression turned grim. He naturally wouldn't disregard Yang Chen's life.
But to be held captive like this, he was also unwilling.
For a moment, Bai Zhenshan found himself in a difficult predicament.
"Yang Chen, if you don't have the strength, don't be so arrogant!"
Ye Cangtian ignored Bai Zhenshan and began to lecture Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was indeed considered a fierce general here, instilling fear, but he had become too arrogant now, so he needed to teach him a lesson.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, Yang Chen probably wouldn't even know how he died!
"You..."
Upon hearing Dawn's words, Yang Chen instinctively wanted to retort, as who was this person to lecture him?
But as he was about to speak, the hand around his neck tightened, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
Seeing Yang Chen quiet down, Ye Cangtian glanced at Bai Zhenshan and slowly said, "Let's go. We'll talk inside the main tent!"
"Alright."
Bai Zhenshan hesitated for a moment before nodding. With Yang Chen in the opponent's hands, he could only agree to the condition and wait for an opportunity to rescue Yang Chen.
Following Bai Zhenshan into the main tent, Ye Cangtian released his grip, letting Yang Chen go.
"This..."
Seeing this, both Yang Chen and Bai Zhenshan were stunned.
The other party held a hostage, possessing absolute advantage, but they released the hostage. What was their intention?
As the two were pondering, they saw the Dawn in front of them directly remove his mask, revealing an extremely familiar face.
"Big Brother!"
"Ye Cangtian!"
The two widened their eyes in shock. Who could have imagined that the renowned Dawn of the Dark Association was Ye Cangtian!
And appearing in a night raid like this was truly baffling.
As they were about to exclaim, they saw the other make a shushing gesture, and they quickly closed their mouths.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian took out two sets of clothes from his Qiankun Bag.
These were prepared in advance by him and Lan Yue, identical to their current attire, and he handed them to Bai Zhenshan.
"Senior, please order two people to change into these outfits and continue performing in the camp. Make it as realistic as possible!"
Ye Cangtian said. With his and Lan Yue's strength, the night raid wouldn't end so quickly.
Therefore, they had to stage a scene to deceive the spies from the Bright Hall.
The light was dim now, and those spies couldn't be inside the camp; they would only observe from afar.
Thus, it would be difficult for them to discern the truth from the deception, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Bai Zhenshan's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood Ye Cangtian's intentions. He quickly made arrangements.
After all, the other party appeared as Dawn of the Dark Association, not in their original identity, so their actions would naturally be inconvenient. He had to cooperate.
Only when the sounds of fighting resumed outside did Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue sit down with the other party.
"Allow me to introduce, this is my senior sister, Lan Yue," Ye Cangtian said, introducing both parties. He then became serious and said, "Senior, the reason we appear here in these identities is because the Bright Hall is launching another attack!"
