"Boom!"
Chu Hezou's White Jade Bone and Ye Zhan's long saber clashed fiercely.
The ground sank again, and the heads of Chu Hezou and Ye Zhan were level with the edge of the pit.
Rocks tumbled down, blocking the only way out.
As for the trees, they were long gone, ground into powder by the immense energy and buried beneath the stones.
Ye Zhan spat out three mouthfuls of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs.
He quickly took a pill, rapidly repairing the internal injuries.
Blood also trickled from the corner of Chu Hezou's mouth. Disheveled, he looked like a beggar.
"Kid, I truly underestimated you! To be able to withstand ninety percent of my power, I, a half-step God Lord realm expert, when you're only at the early stage of the God King realm. Today, even if you die by my hand, you can die without regret!"
Ye Zhan sneered, "Die? Who will die is yet to be determined! I have no other skills, but my life is tough! If you don't want me to kill you, be sensible and quickly clear the path for me to pass!"
"Let you pass? Kid, why are you fighting so desperately?" Chu Hezou asked curiously.
At this moment, spiritual energy surged chaotically within Chu Hezou. He needed to stall for time, to guide the spiritual energy into his meridians before he could act again.
Of course, he knew Ye Zhan also needed time to heal. However, he was confident he could recover faster than Ye Zhan, as Ye Zhan's injuries were far more severe.
How could Ye Zhan not see through Chu Hezou's intentions?
However, he did not expose it.
Because Chu Hezou wanted to stall for time to recover, so did he.
Thus, he reluctantly replied, "Why? Your Ghost Domain captured my wife, and you still ask me why!"
"Your wife? Who is she?"
Chu Hezou was stalling for time on one hand, but also genuinely curious.
Ye Zhan smiled sinisterly, "Your Number Thirteen just took her away, what do you think?"
Chu Hezou froze, then his expression turned grim, "You mean that Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Body?"
Ye Zhan's face was cold, "Whether she's the Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Body, I don't know. All I know is, she's my wife. You captured my wife, so I have no choice but to fight you with my life!"
Hearing this, Chu Hezou felt a pang of sympathy for Ye Zhan in his heart. But letting Ye Zhan pass was impossible.
He chuckled, "Kid, I advise you to give up! Number Thirteen has already taken that Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Body to see His Majesty the Ghost Emperor. By now, they should have arrived at the Emperor's Hall."
"It's not that I look down on you, but once this person reaches His Majesty the Ghost Emperor, let alone you, even your God Lord realm experts won't be able to snatch them from His Majesty the Ghost Emperor!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Kid, if you're willing to turn back, I can spare your life. How about it?"
Ye Zhan paused, "I appreciate your kindness, but if I abandon my wife out of fear of death, what face would I have to live in this world?"
Chu Hezou scoffed, "Kid, you really intend to go to the Emperor's Hall to snatch someone from His Majesty the Ghost Emperor? Don't say I didn't warn you, His Majesty the Ghost Emperor is a peak God Lord realm expert. Perhaps there isn't a second person like him on the entire Azure Star. Do you still want to go?"
Ye Zhan smiled indifferently, and said with determination, "Yes!"
Chu Hezou was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Kid, you have guts. There are few people I, Chu Hezou, admire in my life, and you are qualified to be among them!"
"However, don't expect me to let you pass. Either you turn back, and I'll let you go, or we continue to fight. If you defeat me, you can naturally pass!"
With that, he began to gather the power of laws in his White Jade Bone again. Instantly, the power of laws surged in the White Jade Bone, and it transformed into a hundred-zhang giant bone of law.
"Come! Defeat me, and you can pass!"
Ye Zhan smiled, "Since that's the case, then come on!"
He said, and surging power of laws once again surged towards his long saber, instantly forming a hundred-zhang saber aura of law.
The hundred-zhang giant bone of law and the hundred-zhang saber aura of law slowly tore through the sky.
Where they passed, the void trembled violently, occasionally leaving behind a few spatial rifts.
Their speed, though seemingly slow, collided in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
A massive roar erupted, but the surroundings quickly became deafening.
A storm of energy swept across a radius of five li.
The rocks that had blocked the path instantly turned to dust, and the mountain peak from which they had fallen was reduced to only half its size.
The cave entrance, even with the support of formations, completely collapsed and was quickly buried by the kicked-up dust.
The great pit where Chu Hezou and Ye Zhan stood sank a hundred zhang deeper.
The two of them were embedded in the pit walls, creating two human-shaped hollows about six feet deep.
"Pfft!"
Ye Zhan spat out a large mouthful of blood. The ribs on his chest were all broken, and the bones in his limbs were fractured into several pieces.
Chu Hezou was also in a sorry state; the bones in his body were no less broken than Ye Zhan's.
Fortunately, they were both cultivators. If they had been ordinary people, they would have died countless times over.
With a thought, both of them simultaneously pulled out pills and used their divine sense to control them into their mouths.
One pill!
Two pills!
Three pills!
...
Soon, both of them had emptied a bottle of pills.
As if by agreement, Chu Hezou and Ye Zhan closed their eyes simultaneously and began to heal.
Now, it depended on who healed faster, and who could completely eliminate the other.
Half an hour later, both of their injuries had recovered by thirty percent. However, with a tacit understanding, neither of them made a move and continued to heal.
However, while Chu Hezou and Ye Zhan had a tacit understanding, others might not.
Not long after the two of them closed their eyes, several figures landed on the edge of the great pit.
"Boss, how are you?"
This voice belonged to Number Nine, whom Ye Zhan had encountered when he previously infiltrated the cave.
"Sawei, why are you here?" Chu Hezou stopped healing and asked.
Number Nine, Sawei, breathed a sigh of relief and leaped into the bottom of the pit, "His Majesty sensed the huge commotion here and sent me to see what happened! Boss, what happened to you? Why are you so disheveled?"
Chu Hezou said angrily, "I encountered a madman who almost tore me apart!"
"Ah!"
Number Nine, Sawei, was utterly shocked.
His boss was a half-step God Lord expert. How could an ordinary madman injure him?
Furthermore, everyone in the Ghost Domain knew that his boss was the leader of the Ten Great Ghost Messengers. Even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare to trouble their boss.
This meant that someone from an external domain had infiltrated the Ghost Domain!!
