"Is this the Corpse King? It's nothing special!" Ye Cangtian said mockingly to Du Gui, then continued, "Du Gui, do you have any other Corpse Emperors or anything like that? Just release them all. I'll deal with them together!"
"..."
With those words, Du Gui's face instantly turned crimson. The Corpse King wasn't some common cabbage or radish that could be summoned at will! The Five Poisons Sect had only refined three Corpse Kings in all these years. He had originally thought one Corpse King would be enough to handle the affairs of Yulong Villa, so he had only brought one. But who would have thought he would encounter such a tough opponent? Now he was truly at a loss and didn't know what to do!
Thinking this, he looked at Lei Ming in the main seat and said, "Lei Ming, I have used all my trump cards. If you want to turn the tide, join forces with me to eliminate him..."
"Alright!" Lei Ming gritted his teeth and agreed. Du Gui was his greatest trump card, and now that Du Gui had exhausted all his moves, he was left with two choices. One was to join forces with Du Gui to deal with the God of Death. The other was to give up the position of Villa Master and face the disciplinary rules of Yulong Villa. But how could he be willing to give it all up! He had exhausted his strength and finally attained the position of Villa Master, so how could he hand it over so easily? He was unwilling! Moreover, even if he abdicated, the God of Death would not forgive him, and only death awaited him. Therefore, instead of dying in such unwillingness, he might as well fight for it.
The next moment, Lei Ming drew his long sword and slowly walked down the steps. Together with Du Gui, they flanked Ye Cangtian, one in front and one behind. Facing their pincer attack, Ye Cangtian sneered and said, "Lei Ming, you are truly stubborn. Even now, you still refuse to surrender!"
"Stop blabbering! If you want to fight, let's fight!" Lei Ming roared in exasperation, his eyes filled with hatred. Everything had been under his control, and Yulong Villa was gradually on the right track, expanding step by step. But ever since this person returned, everything had changed. First, the Hidden Division had reclaimed Han Shuang City, then his right-hand men were killed, and today, by revealing the Five Poisons Sect, he had also cut off all his retreat. All that lay before him was to kill the God of Death. Only then would he have a chance to suppress everyone and solidify his position as Villa Master.
"Alas! Fine, then I'll leave you for last!" Seeing Lei Ming's attitude, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly and sighed. As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Cangtian suddenly turned, and the Death Scythe descended like a bolt from the blue, striking towards Du Gui.
"Ah!" Du Gui never expected Ye Cangtian to make a move without any warning. Now, seeing the Death Scythe descending, he immediately screamed.
*Pu!* A slight sound was heard. Du Gui had already shifted several steps. His arm had been cleanly severed. Despite his best efforts, he had only managed to avoid a fatal blow.
Seeing this, Lei Ming was simply stunned. He knew that Du Gui's cultivation was even stronger than his own, yet even he couldn't escape Ye Cangtian's attack. Now that Du Gui had lost an arm, their chances of winning had clearly decreased significantly.
"Lei Ming, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you acting!" On the other side, seeing his arm spraying blood, Du Gui roared. He was truly furious! Why was Lei Ming reacting so slowly? If it were him, he would have attacked the moment the God of Death moved. That way, even if the God of Death successfully killed his opponent, he could make the God of Death pay an unimaginable price. But Lei Ming in front of him was simply frozen on the spot, which made him incredibly angry.
"Kill!" Hearing Du Gui's words, Lei Ming finally roared, and with gritted teeth, charged towards Ye Cangtian. His long sword instantly seemed to turn into a rainbow, carrying boundless momentum. The God of Death was too strong. Lei Ming knew that his chances to attack would be few and far between, so he used his full strength from the outset.
*Ding...* However, just as the long sword was about to pierce Ye Cangtian's throat, two fingers firmly clasped the sword, causing it to hum and tremble. Lei Ming was completely dumbfounded by this sight. He had used all his strength, how could it be intercepted by just two fingers? But the fact was right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe it!
*Bang!* While Lei Ming was dumbfounded, Ye Cangtian was not. He gave Lei Ming no opportunity and kicked out, hitting Lei Ming directly in the chest. In an instant, Lei Ming flew back like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the steps, blood spewing from his mouth uncontrollably.
"My cultivation..." Feeling his meridians shattered, Lei Ming's face became even paler. He directly took out a large handful of elixirs from his Qiankun bag and stuffed them into his mouth. Although these elixirs were potent, with one or two enough to recover Lei Ming's injuries, it required sufficient time for him to absorb their efficacy. But the God of Death was right in front of him, giving him no such time, so he could only take more, hoping to recover faster...
Ye Cangtian paid no attention to Lei Ming's actions. He had not intended to kill Lei Ming directly in the first place, so as long as Lei Ming did not interfere, it was fine. The next moment, he looked at Du Gui on the other side, a cold smile on his face, and said, "Du Gui, your ally has been crippled. Now it's your turn!"
"You!" Du Gui was immediately shocked and quickly said, "God of Death, it was Lei Ming who was competing for the Villa Master position with you. Don't focus on me!" "What if I promise you that I won't meddle in the affairs of Yulong Villa anymore?" Du Gui panicked, truly panicked. Now that he had lost an arm, how could he be a match for the other party? So he could only compromise and beg for mercy. After saving his life, he could think about revenge later if there was an opportunity.
Heh heh. Ye Cangtian coldly sneered and said, "Du Gui, I want to kill you not just because you interfered with the affairs of Yulong Villa, but because you are wicked and deserve to be punished by everyone!"
"I..." Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Du Gui's expression changed drastically. He already understood that no matter what he said today, the other party would not let him go. With this belief, Du Gui flicked his wrist, and a cold glint instantly shot towards Ye Cangtian. Then, without another word, Du Gui turned and ran! He knew that outside were people from Yulong Villa. As long as he could reach the outside, capture some hostages, or poison them, he could threaten the God of Death with them. He didn't believe that the God of Death would disregard the safety of these people.
"Do you have a chance to escape in front of me?" Ye Cangtian dodged the dagger, his cold voice echoing from his mouth. At the same time, his third eye on his forehead had opened. In the next instant, a soul power shot out. On the other side, Du Gui had just reached the entrance of the main hall. He had already spotted the crowd waiting for news and was preparing to rush over. But at this moment, a sharp pain shot through his soul, and he instantly fell to the ground, writhing in agony. When he regained consciousness, Ye Cangtian was already in front of him.
"Soul attack, you actually mastered soul attacks..." Du Gui looked at Ye Cangtian in horror and said. Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "You're right, but unfortunately, there's no reward!"
"God of Death, think about it again. If you join the Five Poisons Sect, I promise you will be the next Sect Master..." Du Gui tried to persuade Ye Cangtian one last time. This offer was too perfect for the Five Poisons Sect.
"Hmph! You still don't understand me. What I want is not power!" "I want peace, I want a free life." With that, Ye Cangtian glanced at him disdainfully, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, you won't understand these things. Now, I ask you, will you end it yourself, or should I do it?"
"You do it!" Du Gui gritted his teeth, knowing that his fate was sealed. He directly closed his eyes, raised his head, and exposed his neck.
"Do you think this will make me soft?" Ye Cangtian sneered, and the Death Scythe in his hand instantly slashed across his neck. Afterward, he paid no more attention and looked at Yao Bao'er not far away, saying, "Bao'er, please clean up the scene!" It wasn't that he wanted to trouble Yao Bao'er, but there were many people from the Five Poisons Sect in the hall. Even though these people were dead, they still carried potent poison on their bodies, and a slight touch would result in poisoning. Ye Cangtian did not want unnecessary casualties, so he could only ask Yao Bao'er to handle it.
"Okay, leave it to me." Hearing this, Yao Bao'er quickly responded.
