Ye Cangtian's appearance caught all three people below by surprise.
The burly man didn't think much of it and cursed a few times, but the silver-masked man couldn't help but frown. He said in a deep voice, "You're interfering in our business, you must be after the Immortality Root, right?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him, still somewhat shocked.
This guy was actually from the Dark Association, and a silver-masked Deacon at that! As for the burly man, he was likely a member of the Dark Association as well, probably a Yellow-level member.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but be surprised to encounter another member of the Dark Association again!
Seeing the other party looking at him, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "A treasure like the Immortality Root can save one's life at a critical moment. Who wouldn't be tempted by it?"
"So, you're really going to get involved in this?" The silver-masked man's voice grew colder, a hint of killing intent permeating his eyes. He glanced at the middle-aged burly man.
The latter immediately understood the silver-masked man's intention.
The next moment, the middle-aged burly man suddenly lunged forward, stomped his foot forcefully, and leaped up. He threw a punch towards Ye Cangtian, who was hanging on the container.
Their intention was clear: since this person was also after the Immortality Root, they should eliminate this uncertain factor first.
As for the Saudi woman holding the Immortality Root, she was injured and couldn't escape anyway.
However, just as the middle-aged burly man launched a surprise attack on Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian had clearly anticipated this. He forcefully kicked out with his right foot, which was hanging on the container, towards the attacker!
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
"Bang!"
The middle-aged burly man, caught off guard, was directly kicked away, crashing onto the container with a huge impact.
With just one kick, the middle-aged burly man was defeated. As he fell to the ground, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The silver-masked man's expression finally changed slightly upon seeing this.
This person's strength was actually greater than his subordinate's? The force of this kick clearly posed a threat to him as well!
At this moment, the silver-masked man couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
"The Immortality Root is mine. You either leave, or we fight!" Ye Cangtian shrugged, without offering any explanation, and jumped down from the container.
"You're looking for death!" the silver-masked man gritted his teeth and roared.
Although the Immortality Root wasn't as miraculous as rumored, it could rapidly heal injuries when one was gravely wounded.
He was going on a mission overseas this time, and the Immortality Root could save his life at a critical moment. How could the silver-masked man give it up?
Since the other party was determined to snatch the Immortality Root, they had no choice but to fight!
With this thought, the silver-masked man struck first, launching an attack directly at Ye Cangtian, and the two immediately began to fight!
For Ye Cangtian, the Dark Association's Profound-level experts were nothing special.
Counting the current one, he had encountered four silver-masked individuals before.
This made Ye Cangtian sigh that the Dark Association was indeed a powerful force, with so many Profound-level experts!
While these silver-masked individuals were strong, they were not necessarily his match.
As expected!
Although the two fought fiercely, the silver-masked man's expression soon became even more grim. In their exchanges, he found himself at a disadvantage.
This gradually gave the silver-masked man the idea of retreating.
After forcing Ye Cangtian back with a palm strike, he immediately turned and fled in a certain direction.
"Running away when you can't win?" Ye Cangtian scoffed. He glanced back and saw that the middle-aged burly man was still locked in combat with Xibeiya's female guard.
Although the female guard was heavily injured and no match for him, the middle-aged burly man had also been injured by Ye Cangtian earlier, so the two were temporarily evenly matched.
Ye Cangtian didn't bother with them and continued to pursue the silver-masked man.
...
The cargo dock had many containers, most of which were used for export or import.
Most of the containers here were empty and were moved using cranes when needed.
Currently, in the cabin of a crane, a crane operator was maneuvering the crane to move some recently loaded containers onto a cargo ship.
Due to the high altitude, the crane operator had a very wide field of vision.
He now witnessed a shocking scene: on the containers not far away, two figures were chasing and leaping from one container to another.
"Is a film crew shooting a movie?" the crane operator was stunned.
...
The silver-masked man was desperately fleeing, as he was now panicked.
This guy who appeared out of nowhere was too strong, and more importantly, he was chasing him relentlessly without saying a word.
"My friend, I don't want the Immortality Root anymore. I'll leave, okay?" The silver-masked man had no choice but to compromise.
"It's too late to say that now!" Ye Cangtian's lips curled slightly. Seeing that the other party had slowed down while speaking, he threw a punch.
The silver-masked man hastily dodged, and the fist directly smashed into a container.
The force of this punch actually created a fist-shaped imprint on the container.
Seeing this, the silver-masked man gasped and then angrily questioned, "What exactly do you want? I've already said I don't want the Immortality Root. Are you insisting on a fight to the death?"
"I am a member of the Dark Association. Consider the consequences of offending me!"
"I'm very sorry, but I kill people from the Dark Association!" Ye Cangtian chuckled.
"You, are you from the Dragon Group?" the silver-masked man exclaimed, recalling something.
He had encountered people from the Dragon Group before. Ordinary Dragon Group members had strength comparable to the Yellow-level members of the Dark Association. As for those who could pose a threat to the Profound level, there seemed to be very few in the entire Dragon Group.
With such formidable strength, how had he never seen this person in any records?
In that moment of distraction, Ye Cangtian threw another punch. The silver-masked man couldn't dodge it in time and could only parry with a palm strike.
"Bang!"
The immense force caused the silver-masked man to retreat several steps, crashing into a container with a dull thud.
He couldn't escape anymore!
He had to fight head-on!
Moreover, after guessing that the other party was from the Dragon Group, the silver-masked man worried that prolonging the fight might attract other Dragon Group members, so he might as well take a gamble.
The silver-masked man went all out, no longer fleeing, and began to fight Ye Cangtian head-on.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Impact sounds echoed, and the fight between the two even caused the surrounding containers to tremble.
After a moment!
The battle ceased!
The silver-masked man lay on the ground, his silver mask long gone, with a dagger stuck in his neck.
This was a dagger the silver-masked man had attempted to use for a sneak attack on Ye Cangtian in the final moments of the fight, but it ultimately failed and instead became the tool to end his own life.
