"Damn it, old man, I'll fight you to the death!"
"I want to see if you die or I perish!"
Chen Hai roared. Since defense was no longer an option, he could only go all out and fight for it.
*Ding!*
In the next instant, Chen Hai's long sword snapped. The colossal Dragon Soul Saber flashed like lightning, slicing across Chen Hai's chest, and a spurt of blood instantly gushed out.
At the same time, Chen Hai's long sword also pierced Ye Cangtian's chest.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Cangtian desperately twisted his body, managing to avoid the vital heart. Even so, he was severely wounded.
"Bardock, what are you waiting for!"
Just then, Ye Cangtian's roar echoed.
Bardock jolted awake and swiftly charged towards the retreating Chen Hai.
Needless to say, Chen Hai was heavily injured. If he didn't strike now, it would be difficult to kill Chen Hai again once he recovered his breath.
"Ant, you think you can kill me?"
"Die for me!"
The retreating Chen Hai, before even hitting the ground, saw Bardock charging at him again. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
With a full-strength throw of his hand, the broken half of his long sword shot out.
With a *thwack*, before Bardock could even attack Chen Hai, he was impaled through the chest by the broken half-sword, his body sent flying backward.
*Swish! Swish! Swish!*
Just then, the sound of breaking air arrived. Three crystal-clear arrows, like startled swans, cut across the sky.
In an instant, they grazed Bardock and pierced Chen Hai's chest.
This...
Watching the arrows graze him, Bardock, who was flying backward, stared in utter shock. He turned to look, and Ye Cangtian was making a bow-drawing gesture with his bare hands.
There was no doubt that Ye Cangtian was responsible.
Turning his gaze towards Chen Hai, three arrows had accurately embedded themselves in Chen Hai's chest, pinning him to the ground as he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
*Gasp!*
In the next moment, Bardock crashed heavily to the ground, blood spraying out. Chen Hai's final flying sword had pierced his heart, extinguishing all his life force.
At the same moment, Ye Cangtian also coughed up a mouthful of blood. Just as he was about to fall, he grabbed the Dragon Soul Saber in front of him, stabilizing himself.
"Ye Cangtian, it was a pleasure cooperating!"
Bardock, lying on the ground, showed a grim smile.
He knew his time was running out, but he was satisfied. With the combined efforts of him and Ye Cangtian, they had eliminated a veteran Earth-level expert of the Dark Association.
Such a feat was already quite impressive.
"Pleasure cooperating."
Ye Cangtian sighed and touched the Qiankun Pouch on his bracelet.
These last three ice arrows were not his doing; it was Nami who had acted.
He had merely made the gesture of drawing a bow to cover it up.
In fact, Nami was his true trump card, and it was because of Nami that he had the confidence to fight Chen Hai.
After all, Nami was also an Earth-level expert.
And if Nami hadn't intervened just now, he would have at most severely wounded Chen Hai, and the victor would still have been uncertain.
The battle had been incredibly fierce, and he had basically lost his fighting capacity.
"Ye Cangtian... I have one request. If you ever have the chance to see Nancy..."
"Remember to tell her... I love her... I'm no worse than anyone else..."
On the other side, Bardock's voice came again, his voice becoming intermittent as his life force rapidly drained.
At the end of his life, all he could see was Nancy's image in his mind.
He had come here to prove that he was no worse than Xuan Qi and the others, and that he was worthy of being with Nancy.
Now, he had succeeded. Although it was a pity that he wouldn't live to see Nancy look at him with admiration, he was still content.
"Alright."
Ye Cangtian softly agreed. Bardock had cooperated with him wholeheartedly, and for that alone, he wouldn't refuse Bardock's final request.
"Xuan Qi, come here."
Just as Bardock breathed his last, Chen Hai's voice echoed.
From the moment Ye Cangtian's final saber strike landed, he had seen through Ye Cangtian's identity.
He recognized that move.
It was the Yin-Yang attack that Xuan Qi had used against Hong Mo in the headquarters hall.
At this moment, he understood everything; Xuan Qi was the spy for the Dark Association.
Simultaneously, he realized that the person who had rescued Shangguan Yanran, infiltrated the headquarters, and spread rumors was also Xuan Qi.
For a moment, Chen Hai's heart was filled with immense complexity.
He never expected that such a spy would successfully gain his trust. He was truly foolish!
On the other side, hearing Chen Hai's voice, Ye Cangtian was not surprised at all.
From the moment he used the Yin-Yang Shattering Heaven Saber, he had been prepared to be exposed.
He slowly turned around and staggered towards Chen Hai.
The other party had been pierced through the vital meridians by Nami. To him, there was no longer any danger, not even the possibility of a mutual kill.
Therefore, there was nothing to worry about.
"Chen Hai, since you know everything, do you have anything else to say?" Ye Cangtian asked.
"You are too good at acting, you even fooled Lord Xing Yuan."
"So, I have nothing to say about losing to you."
"I just want to make a deal with you now."
Chen Hai glanced deeply at Ye Cangtian, his gaze remarkably calm, as if he had accepted his fate.
Hmm?
Ye Cangtian cast a questioning glance. The other party's time was running out; he didn't know what kind of deal could be made.
Sensing Ye Cangtian's gaze, Chen Hai slowly said, "Although we don't have the title of master and disciple, we have the substance of it, don't we?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian frowned.
He hadn't spent much time with Chen Hai, only half a day.
During this half-day, the other party hadn't taught him any martial skills, only shared combat experience.
To claim a master-disciple relationship based on this was inaccurate. However, considering Chen Hai was on the verge of death, Ye Cangtian didn't deny it and nodded.
Seeing this, a look of satisfaction appeared in Chen Hai's eyes. He quickly said, "I am willing to pass on all my life's learning to you, as long as you agree to one condition."
"What condition?"
Ye Cangtian pondered for a long time and then slowly asked.
After all, the other party was a powerful Earth-level deacon in the Dark Association, surely possessing many techniques and moves.
It was just that during the previous battle, he had been too careless and hadn't had the chance to use his killing moves.
If he could acquire these killing moves for his own use, it would undoubtedly enhance his combat power.
"Help me find three women, preferably virgins," Chen Hai said without hesitation.
Uh!
At these words, Ye Cangtian was taken aback, and his expression turned extremely cold.
He was already fully aware of the other party's perverted behavior. Undoubtedly, he wanted to absorb the women's vital energy, which might save him.
But how could Ye Cangtian possibly do such a thing?
Firstly, such an act was too evil, and he detested it.
Secondly, if Chen Hai escaped the danger, there was no guarantee he would keep his promise, and he might even kill him on the spot. Ye Cangtian wasn't that foolish.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian coldly said, "You old lecher, do you think I would agree to something like this?"
"You might!"
A look of extreme confidence flashed in Chen Hai's eyes as he slowly explained.
Although the cultivation technique he practiced was somewhat evil, it was incredibly powerful.
It not only allowed him to rapidly increase his strength but also enabled him to regain his youth and achieve a degree of rejuvenation through the union of yin and yang.
Even with the fatal injuries he had sustained, it could rapidly heal him and preserve his life, making it a nigh-immortal technique.
As he explained, Chen Hai removed the golden mask from his face.
Beneath the golden mask was the face of a man in his thirties or forties, completely different from his otherwise aged appearance.
