Chapter 1195 It Really Isn't Dawn

"Da da da..."

Xue He hesitated for a moment, then finally walked out from the corner.

Since the other party had already discovered him, he might as well reveal the other party's mysterious veil today.

An dark gold mask?

But upon seeing Xue He, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but be stunned. The other party's mask was identical to Gu Hai's, both being dark gold masks.

From this point, he had basically locked onto the other party's identity.

The other party should also be from Kong Ling.

However, what he hadn't expected was that Kong Ling had actually sent two quasi-heavenly level experts, and they were employing a strategy of one overt and one covert.

He had almost fallen for it.

Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and said lightly, "Little bug, you've been following me for so long, shouldn't you introduce yourself?"

"Xue He!"

Xue He glanced at the other party indifferently and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Shinigami!" Ye Cangtian replied.

"Shinigami?"

Upon hearing this, Xue He sneered coldly and snorted, "I don't think you look like Shinigami. You look more like someone I know!"

Hmm?

At this, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed, and his vigilance clearly heightened.

Had the other party already found something out?

Thinking this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said teasingly, "I'm rather curious, who is this person you speak of?"

Ye Cangtian was probing the other party. He had too many identities, so he had to see where the problem lay.

"Have you heard of Po Xiao?"

Xue He glanced at the other party indifferently. At this distance, based on his physique and build, Shinigami and Po Xiao were identical.

"..."

At this, Ye Cangtian's heart sank.

It seemed the other party had been tracking him for a long time, only just discovering it now. The other party must have had a lot of clues before, otherwise, they wouldn't have been so decisive.

Thinking of this, a killing intent surged within Ye Cangtian.

The identity of Po Xiao was extremely important. It allowed him to gather the most crucial information from the Dark Association and also served as a sharp blade inserted into the Dark Association.

Therefore, he absolutely could not expose it unless it was unavoidable.

Now that the other party had become suspicious, the most direct method was to silence them.

Thinking this, he glanced at the other party and smiled teasingly, "You're actually suspecting that I am Po Xiao, aren't you?"

"That's right."

Xue He nodded and continued, "Based on your physical characteristics, if you were to wear Po Xiao's attire and mask, you would be exactly the same!"

"Oh? Physique?"

"Xue He, you're too hasty. How many people in the world have similar physiques?"

"How did you connect me with Po Xiao? Why don't you connect me with others?"

Ye Cangtian asked with a smile, trying to get more information.

If the suspicion was only based on physique, then the problem wouldn't be too big for him.

But if it was due to other factors, he would have to find a way to resolve it.

"Of course, it's not that simple!"

"It's not just that your physiques are similar, but the time you appeared also largely coincides with the time Po Xiao disappeared!"

Xue He said indifferently.

In fact, these were not the only things that made him suspicious.

The Shadow Tower and the Xue family attacking the Dark Association's branches were a provocation to the Dark Association's authority.

If Po Xiao were truly loyal to the Dark Association, he should have retaliated long ago. However, Po Xiao did not do so.

But Xue He felt that this suspicion was not strong enough.

After all, at the Dark Association's branch at that time, besides Po Xiao, Gu Hai was also present, and Gu Hai also did not choose to retaliate immediately.

Therefore, Xue He did not point this out in person.

However, even with just these points, Ye Cangtian's brows were already furrowed.

This was truly hard to guard against!

After all, many things required him to act personally, and the other party was specifically watching him, making it difficult to cover his tracks.

Thinking this, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "Heh heh, you lost track of someone, and then you mistook me for Po Xiao. Isn't that too laughable?"

"Laughable? I don't think it's laughable at all. On the contrary, I feel that these are the facts!"

Xue He's gaze swept over Ye Cangtian, and he said with a cold sneer.

He had been observing Ye Cangtian for a while and truly felt that the other party was Po Xiao; he was confident about this.

He paused and continued, "Shinigami, just admit it. A true man should dare to act and take responsibility. If not, wouldn't that make you like a woman?"

Heh.

Ye Cangtian smiled slightly at Xue He's provocation and said, "Whether I admit it or not, does it make any difference to you?

You've already made up your mind. Even if I presented irrefutable evidence, it wouldn't change your thoughts."

"Oh? Judging by your expression, it seems I've wronged you?"

"Then tell me, what irrefutable evidence do you have?"

Hearing this, Xue He's gaze fell upon Ye Cangtian, and he asked with a cold sneer.

He really wanted to hear what excuse the other party could come up with now.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Have you heard of Ye Cangtian?"

Ye Cangtian?

Upon hearing this name, Xue He clearly paused. Although he had only recently returned to the Dark Association with Kong Ling,

He had first made sure to understand the events of recent years.

Therefore, the name Ye Cangtian was like thunder in his ears.

It was said that Ye Cangtian was the undisputed prodigy among the younger generation of the Huaxia forces.

He had disrupted many operations of the Bright Hall and the Dark Association, and his abilities and strength were exceptional.

Previously, Xue He had wanted to find and eliminate him, as such a person, if allowed to grow, would undoubtedly be a major threat to the Dark Association.

However, the current situation did not permit it; he didn't have the time to hunt him all over the world.

But why was the other party mentioning Ye Cangtian now? He was somewhat puzzled.

Thinking this, he looked at the other party and said indifferently, "Shinigami, I have indeed heard of Ye Cangtian. But what do you want to express?"

"Watch carefully."

Ye Cangtian snorted lightly, then slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.

The next moment, Xue He's eyes glazed over, and he froze in place, his mouth twitching incessantly.

All along, he had thought that Po Xiao was the Shinigami in front of him. But when the other party removed his mask, he realized that the other party was Ye Cangtian!

Moreover, Ye Cangtian could not possibly be Po Xiao!

The files in the Dark Association clearly recorded that Ye Cangtian and Po Xiao had participated in many operations simultaneously and had been in different places at different times.

It was impossible for these two people to be the same person.

Unless those files themselves were flawed.

But such a thing was highly unlikely. Without thorough investigation, how would the people of the Dark Association dare to record it in their files?

Besides, Ye Cangtian forming the Anti-Dark Alliance was also perfectly reasonable.

After all, Ye Cangtian was from the Huaxia forces, and his targeting of the Dark Association was entirely normal.

It seemed he had really misunderstood!

Xue He muttered to himself, but a sliver of doubt still remained in his heart. Even if Shinigami was not Po Xiao, how could he explain Po Xiao's frequent disappearances recently?

On the other side, seeing Xue He's gaze change with complexity, gradually showing signs of annoyance,

A faint smile flashed in Ye Cangtian's eyes. He had revealed his identity precisely to disrupt the other party's suspicions.

After all, in most people's eyes, Po Xiao and Ye Cangtian were on parallel trajectories and could not intersect!

It seemed his objective had been achieved.

The next moment, he spoke again, "Do you still think I am Po Xiao now?"

"Hmph!"

A voice came, and Xue He glanced over, finally letting out a cold snort.

Clearly, the other party was not Po Xiao. But the teasing tone, as if gloating over a victory, truly annoyed him.

Seeing this, Ye Cangtian put his mask back on. With a powerful surge of his hand, he summoned the Grim Reaper's Scythe.

He smiled coldly and said slowly, "Since your foolish notion has been cleared up, shall we get down to business? You've seen me beneath the Shinigami mask. Tell me, what should I do with you?"

"This..."

Xue He's gaze flickered slightly. Was there even a need to say it?

No matter who encountered such a situation, there was only one way to handle it: silence them.

Thinking this, he drew his black longsword and said, "If you want to silence me, then come on. It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of person you are!"

Saying this, Xue He couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes becoming incredibly excited.

He had wanted to eliminate the other party for a long time but had never had the chance.

Now, the opportunity had finally arrived. If he could eliminate the other party, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement. Thinking of this, he felt truly fortunate!
