"I..."
Looking at Ye Cangtian's sharp gaze, Kuxi bit her red lips tightly, roaring in her heart.
She was truly foolish!
To think she wanted to cooperate with Ye Cangtian to kill the Dawn!
Little did she know that Ye Cangtian and Dawn were the same person, a sure way to dig her own grave!
Thinking this, she slowly spoke, "Ye Cangtian, I don't know why you became Dawn, but since it has come to this, I choose to take my own life to wash away my shame and foolishness!"
As she spoke, Kuxi took out a gleaming dagger and plunged it directly into her own chest.
She did not hesitate. In her opinion, the current situation was entirely due to her own stupidity.
Therefore, she hated herself for her incompetence and for failing to expose the other party's true identity.
For this reason, she wanted to end her humiliating life.
Alas!
Watching Kuxi fall to the ground unwillingly, her body still twitching slightly, Ye Cangtian sighed and said, "You are a respectable opponent, but unfortunately, you met me!"
"Ye Cangtian, if there is a next life, I will surely have my revenge..."
Hearing the other party's words, Kuxi exerted her last ounce of strength, looked at the person, and before finishing her sentence, plunged into eternal darkness.
"If there is a next life, I welcome you to seek revenge."
Ye Cangtian glanced deeply at her, then removed his golden mask and left the place with Lan Yue.
Roar!
Before they could leave the forest, Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue heard the angry roar of a wild beast.
In the blink of an eye, birds and beasts took flight in the forest hundreds of meters away.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue exchanged a look.
The next moment, Lan Yue slowly said, "Junior Brother, don't look, let's hurry back!"
Although it was the forest surrounding Dongjiang City, it was normal for some powerful wild beasts to exist.
After all, in the entire Dark Ruins, the eastern region was inhabited by countless demon beasts.
"No, Senior Sister, let's go take a look!"
Ye Cangtian shook his head and rejected Lan Yue.
He was not surprised by the appearance of wild beasts; what was strange was why they were roaring.
Was it fighting with other wild beasts for territory, or had someone disturbed their lives?
If it was the former, then it was nothing!
But if it was the latter, then trouble would be immense!
After all, out of kindness, he had agreed to Kuxi's last request and revealed the identity of Dawn.
If this identity were exposed, it would surely lead to endless troubles.
Therefore, he felt it was better to be cautious and investigate.
Listening to Ye Cangtian, Lan Yue said nothing. Both of them were quasi-celestial powerhouses, and ordinary wild beasts posed no threat to them.
Therefore, it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue quietly approached.
...
On the other side of the forest.
A figure faced a black tiger, three to four meters long and as tall as a person.
The black tiger was adorned with ethereal blue stripes, making it look beautiful yet eerie.
This tiger was one of the ancient ferocious tigers, the Nether Hunting Tiger.
The Nether Hunting Tiger never let go of any human or beast that dared to trespass into its territory until one party fell and died, making it extremely fierce.
At this moment, a human stood before the Nether Hunting Tiger. Compared to the tiger, the human's physique appeared much smaller.
However, this person emanated an aura that could contend with the Nether Hunting Tiger.
This person was wrapped in bandages and wore a dark gold mask. It was Xue He, a subordinate of Kong Ling of the Dark Association!
His face was extremely grim.
He had painstakingly followed and uncovered the truth, but before he could leave, he encountered the Nether Hunting Tiger.
The most crucial thing was his injuries!
He had already taken a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, and his internal injuries had mostly healed. However, the relatively minor skin injuries had not.
Not only had they not healed, but they showed signs of worsening, which he found hard to comprehend.
At the same time, the existence of these wounds would inevitably affect his combat strength.
However, he also knew the ferocity of the Nether Hunting Tiger, so with no other choice, he could only draw his long sword and fight the tiger.
A series of roars ensued.
Although the Nether Hunting Tiger was not agile and seemed to be at a disadvantage, this was not the case in reality.
Its fur, infused with spiritual energy, acted like armor. Even when facing a long sword, it was difficult to inflict any damage, putting great pressure on Xue He.
Seeing this, Xue He's gaze grew even more somber.
This Nether Hunting Tiger was a quasi-celestial level powerhouse, clearly a standard demon beast.
And being so powerful, it was impossible to deal with it in a short period!
What he worried about was whether Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue would discover the situation here. If they arrived, he would be in grave danger.
However, fate was contrary to his wishes; the more he didn't want something to happen, the more it would.
As Xue He was locked in a fierce battle with the Nether Hunting Tiger, he suddenly sensed two presences.
Turning his head, he saw Death God and his assistant Xiao Yue appear not far from him, arms crossed, smiling as they observed the battle.
That's right, it was Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue.
Upon seeing Xue He, they did not choose to conceal their presence but openly watched from the side.
In Ye Cangtian's eyes, Xue He was already a dead man!
The next moment, Xue He forcibly created distance from the Nether Hunting Tiger. Seeing the tiger pounce again, he became enraged and roared.
"You damned beast!"
"Can't you see? They are my enemies! And they are your enemies too!"
"If you want to kill me, you will at least be heavily injured, and the final outcome will be them skinning you!"
"So, if you don't want to die, cooperate with me! Once it's done, I promise to give you some medicinal pills for your injuries and never appear before you again!"
Xue He roared, believing that the Nether Hunting Tiger could understand human speech.
After all, it had reached the quasi-celestial level and become a demon beast. At this level, its intelligence was not much different from humans.
As expected, when he finished speaking, the Nether Hunting Tiger immediately stopped its attack, its large eyes darting around.
Roar!
The next moment, the Nether Hunting Tiger turned and roared at Ye Cangtian and the two of them, clearly agreeing with Xue He's statement.
That's right, it did not want to cooperate with humans, as humans were cunning and treacherous, abandoning allies once a task was complete.
But there was no other way. It could understand that what Xue He said was likely true, and if it wanted to survive, it had to cooperate with him.
"Junior Brother, have you gone too far this time?"
Hearing the Nether Hunting Tiger's roar, Lan Yue looked at Ye Cangtian helplessly and said.
She had originally intended to reveal herself after Xue He and the Nether Hunting Tiger had decided the victor, but Ye Cangtian had revealed himself directly, giving her no chance to stop him.
Now, seeing this scene, she felt a little resentful.
This was asking for trouble!
"Heh heh, it's fine, it's fine, let's just consider it some exercise."
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly upon hearing this.
Both sides had two quasi-celestial powerhouses, so he had nothing to worry about.
As long as Lan Yue could hold off one of them, he could quickly deal with the other, thus securing victory.
On the other side, seeing that the Nether Hunting Tiger had changed its target, Xue He felt a bit more confident.
Although Ye Cangtian was difficult to deal with, he had Lan Yue to hold him back, and it was uncertain who would win in a real fight!
Thinking this, he glanced at Ye Cangtian and taunted, "Should I call you Dawn, or Ye Cangtian? Or should I call you Death God?"
It was clear that he was telling the other party that he had discovered his secret, and the only way to keep it from spreading was to fight to the death!
In fact, he also wanted to use the Nether Hunting Tiger to kill Ye Cangtian, which would mean great merit!
"Call me whatever you want."
"After all, you are destined not to leave this forest, so before you die, I won't bother too much with you!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him. Although his expression was calm, his heart was filled with killing intent.
Since the other party had discovered his secret, there could only be one outcome: death!
"Heh heh, you're still so arrogant!"
"I admit, I might not be your match in a one-on-one fight, but Brother Tiger is not to be trifled with, so don't jump to conclusions about who lives and who dies!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's attitude, Xue He sneered dismissively.
As his voice fell, the Nether Hunting Tiger beside him also raised its head proudly, clearly finding this flattery quite satisfying...
