In the large camp.
Ten figures stood before a spacious tent surrounding the commander's tent.
Although these people could not discern who resided in the tent, judging by its size, it undoubtedly housed important individuals.
After a short while, they exchanged glances and nodded.
But just as they prepared to launch their attack, the dark tent suddenly illuminated.
"You rats think you can sneak into our camp?"
"Don't you know these are things we've already used?"
A grim voice rang out, followed by Yin Tao, Jian Wusheng, Bai Zhenshan, and others emerging from the tent.
They understood who their enemies were and the heavy responsibility they bore.
Therefore, even during their rest, they kept one eye open, observing their surroundings.
"Damn it! We've been discovered, retreat!"
The leader of the ten men, seeing Yin Tao and the others appear, his gaze darkened, and he immediately issued the order.
This was, after all, the camp of the Hidden Organization. If a fight broke out, escaping would be difficult.
Therefore, while the opponents had not yet attacked, it was best to flee.
However, as they turned, they saw another figure appear not far away.
With a mocking smile, he blocked their path.
"Ye Cangtian? Are you Ye Cangtian?"
The leader's gaze fell upon Ye Cangtian, finding his appearance somewhat familiar. In the next moment, he instantly recalled.
Wasn't this the Ye Cangtian whom the outer hall of Light loathed, claiming they couldn't deal with him and requesting the inner hall to eliminate him?
On the other side, Ye Cangtian nodded, smiling faintly. "That's right, I am Ye Cangtian. Welcome to the camp as guests, though I wonder which bug from the inner hall you are?"
"Bug?"
With those two simple words, the leader's face flushed red.
As a quasi-heavenly level expert, he was respected wherever he went. To be so insulted for the first time was truly unbearable.
After a moment, he said coldly to Ye Cangtian, "Ye Cangtian, listen carefully. I am Malun, the Deputy Commander of the Bronze Armor Knights, from the inner hall of Light."
"Too much nonsense. Your position doesn't matter to me. Your name is enough," Ye Cangtian said dismissively, glancing at him.
Sensing the flicker of disdain in his eyes, Malun's anger surged.
He glared at Ye Cangtian and said coldly, "Ye Cangtian, don't be arrogant in front of me. Who do you think you are! What right do you have to be so presumptuous in front of me!"
In Malun's eyes, people from the inner hall were always superior to those from the secular world, giving him a strong sense of superiority.
Therefore, even though Ye Cangtian was famous in the secular world, he did not take him seriously.
To put it bluntly, if he had emerged earlier, Ye Cangtian would likely have been eliminated by now!
"Heh, whether I have the right to be arrogant isn't for you to decide. It's about strength."
Ye Cangtian sneered upon hearing this, then raised his hand and beckoned Malun over with a finger. "Since you dislike me, come then!"
"You think you're worthy of fighting me?"
Malun glanced at Ye Cangtian dismissively, then looked at his subordinates behind him and said, "Four of you, go and eliminate him!"
From the outer hall, Malun already knew that Ye Cangtian's strength had reached the quasi-heavenly level.
However, he did not take it seriously.
In his opinion, even if Ye Cangtian had broken through to the quasi-heavenly level, he was only at the first heaven realm. Sending four subordinates would be enough to handle him.
After all, his subordinates were transferred from the inner hall, their strength had reached the mid to late Earth level, and their coordination was quite synchronized. They should be sufficient to subdue him.
"Heh, Malun, are you still half asleep!"
"Sending four ants to deal with me?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the four figures who stepped forward, his eyes flashing with deep contempt.
"Ye Cangtian, don't worry, they will definitely surprise you!"
Malun chuckled mockingly, then looked at the four who stepped forward and said, "Did you hear that? He looks down on you. Don't you want to show him some real skill?"
"Yes!"
With that, the four subordinates immediately responded. Then, with a roar, they charged towards Ye Cangtian.
However, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they surrounded Ye Cangtian, simultaneously looking for his weaknesses.
After all, they had heard of Ye Cangtian's reputation. Malun might not care about Ye Cangtian, but they couldn't afford to be careless, otherwise, they might capsize in the gutter.
On the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian being cornered by four people, Yin Tao and the others immediately wanted to move to support him.
But at that moment, Ye Cangtian's voice reached them first.
"Don't worry about me. You just need to cut off their escape routes. Leave the rest to me."
With those words, Yin Tao was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Since Ye Cangtian said so, he must have the confidence to deal with these people.
Thinking this, he exchanged glances with Bai Zhenshan and Jian Wusheng, then they dispersed and took up defensive positions at various intersections within the camp.
"Kill!"
As soon as Yin Tao and the others moved, the four red-robed bishops around Ye Cangtian let out a shout of killing.
They observed Ye Cangtian for a moment. His lazy and casual demeanor was full of openings.
The opportunity was rare. The four exchanged glances and chose to attack simultaneously.
"Alas! You people! Truly lacking in public spirit!"
"Making such a commotion in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of disturbing others' rest?"
"Let me quiet you all down!"
With a faint smile, Ye Cangtian's gaze turned murderous. Before the four could approach, his figure dashed out.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Four faint sounds were heard, as if a ghost had passed through Ye Cangtian in front of the four, and returned to its original position.
In the next instant, streams of blood spurted from the necks of the four.
Along with the blood, expressions of extreme pain appeared on their faces, and they finally fell to the ground in unwilling submission.
"This..."
Seeing this, Malun's pupils widened in shock.
He was well aware of the strength and coordination of the four. They were both offensive and defensive, and capable of dealing with ordinary quasi-heavenly level experts, there was no problem.
Even if they were no match for a quasi-heavenly level expert, they shouldn't have been instantly killed in such a short time!
What puzzled him even more was why Ye Cangtian possessed a speed that even he could not reach?
Could it be that Ye Cangtian's strength had surpassed his own?
Impossible!
How long had Ye Cangtian only just entered the quasi-heavenly level...
*Snap! Snap!*
As Malun was still in shock, Ye Cangtian clapped his hands, his smile brilliant. "Malun, is this the surprise you spoke of? I'm really too disappointed in you!"
"You!"
With those words, Malun's face turned red. Seeing his subordinates instantly killed, he felt extremely humiliated, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
What was even more severe was that Ye Cangtian was unharmed, while his side had lost four Earth level experts.
He was already in enemy territory, and with Yin Tao and the others blocking the escape routes, his situation became even more precarious.
Fight!
In the next moment, Malun gritted his teeth. In this situation, he had no choice but to brace himself and fight.
After all, falling into their hands was also a dead end.
Thinking this, Malun roared, "Fusion!"
"This..."
At his roar, the remaining five Earth level experts were stunned.
The so-called fusion was a killing move developed by the Bronze Armor Knights when facing powerful existences.
Simply put, it was to gather all one's spiritual energy without reservation onto one person, who would then unleash an extremely powerful attack.
While the power of such a move was indeed immense, if the opponent could withstand this attack, they would have no power to resist.
And looking at the current situation, using this move was clearly too early. After all, only Ye Cangtian was in front of them. Even if they killed him, how would they deal with the others?
"Damn it, don't you understand yet?"
"Ye Cangtian's strength has exceeded imagination. If we don't kill him, none of us will escape!"
Seeing the five subordinates hesitate, Malun roared again.
This time, the five finally moved. They came behind Malun, placing their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them, one by one.
At the same time, they poured their spiritual energy into him without reservation.
In the next moment, feeling the surge of spiritual energy, Malun revealed a ferocious smile and then drew his cross longsword.
As the spiritual energy gathered, the cross longsword became brighter and brighter, emitting a faint hum.
