"So, my master neither abandoned me nor deceived me."

He simply entrusted the wrong person!?" Long You's expression was filled with struggle and disbelief.

Zhang Bairen nodded and said naturally, "As far as I know, that's correct."

He sealed you away because he could not disobey the king's orders.

Then, in order to save you and to obtain the perfect elixir of immortality to present to your king, your master went to the Himalayas to personally hunt down the phoenix.

As a result, the phoenix, reborn from the ashes, was far beyond his ability to defeat.

Therefore, your master did not leave the Himalayas after being seriously injured.

His remains, and the last letter he left behind, should still be somewhere in the Himalayas. If you have time, you can go and look for it.

Whether you believe it or not is up to your own judgment.

Long You fell silent again, lost in self-doubt.

Actually, your master really wanted to save you.

However, your senior brother was jealous of you, so he entrusted the wrong person to whom you were trapped for more than a thousand years.

You can harbor resentment, or you can disbelieve what I say.

However, you can no longer release the Corpse Brother virus.

If you want to continue releasing them, then release them abroad.

"This can't be done domestically," Zhang Bairen said.

"You must be very strong. Let's have a fight."

If you can defeat me, or kill me, then I will believe what you say.

Because the strong disdain to deceive the weak.

"If you cannot defeat me, then I will assume that you are lying, that you are deceiving me only to save humanity," Long You replied in a deep voice.

Zhang Bairen lay on the sofa and replied rather boredly, "I thought you were a smart person, but it turns out you have the same kind of brute thinking."

Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.

"Long You, this isn't like you at all!"

Long sat upright, his body tense throughout.

“Sometimes, I believe more in fists and strength,” Long You replied.

Zhang Bairen looked at Long You and said casually, "I can fight you, but before that, have you forgotten something?"

As the price I paid for saving you, as the price I paid for telling you the secret.

You must sacrifice your very lifeblood to repay your debt!

Long You grinned and launched an attack.

"If you can defeat me, everything I have will be yours!"

"At that time, even if you want to devour me, it won't be a problem at all!"

Long You's voice reached Zhang Bairen's ears after his fist struck.

boom!

A fist covered in runes pierced through Zhang Bairen's head.

However, no blood appeared.

The terrifying force of the punch shattered the room's walls, revealing the desolate street behind it.

"Elementalization, Qilin Demonic Fire!"

The Qilin Flame of the Fengyun World burned fiercely on Zhang Bairen's body.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Right Fist had been completely burned.

The injured Long You instantly retreated, then looked at Zhang Bairen, who had turned into a man of fire, with eyes full of apprehension.

"What kind of martial art is this?!" Long You asked.

“This isn’t martial arts, it’s a special ability,” Zhang Bairen said, and immediately launched a counterattack.

With a wave of his right hand, endless flames surged forth, transforming into a fan-shaped wave of fire that incinerated the entire flat.

Long You crashed through the wall and escaped into the street.

Zhang Bairen extended his finger and fired a rapid-fire shot.

Boom! Boom!

boom!

!

Bolts of lightning forced Long to dodge left and right, making it impossible for him to get close enough to fight.

"Long You, your strength is far too weak."

"I don't even dare to use my full strength, for fear of completely killing you and making it impossible for you to recover." Zhang Bairen's body transformed into a body of flames.

As he said this, the color of the flames also transitioned towards azure.

As for the temperature, it has increased from thousands of degrees to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of degrees!

The ground beneath his feet, after turning into lava, turned back into ashes. Long You was horrified and almost ran away.

However, recalling the previous conversation, he ultimately suppressed his physical instincts and forced himself to stay where he was, preparing to continue the fight.

Zhang Bairen withdrew the high-temperature flames and assumed a fighting stance.

"Come on, I won't use any special abilities to bully you, I'll just use martial arts and internal energy."

"Let me see if you, who have lived for a thousand years, can make me use my full strength." After saying this, Zhang Bairen leaped down and unleashed his Raging Mountain and River Stomp towards the recovered Long You!

The pure leg techniques restored some of Long You's confidence.

Long You took a deep breath, then crossed his arms and assumed a defensive stance.

In an instant, black scales resembling those of a giant fish-like corpse covered Long You's entire body.

Then, he used the fourth level of Heavenly Gang Qi - Defense!

With this double protection, from physical body to martial arts, even a god-level attack can be forcibly withstood!

Long You is very confident about this.

However, when Zhang Bairen's attack actually landed, Long You's face still showed an expression of disbelief.

Kacha!

The sheer weight of ten thousand tons, derived from King Kong and the Eight Extremes Monster, gave Long You a huge surprise.

This made Long You, who had once dealt with giant monsters, feel as if he had returned to a thousand years ago.

Is this guy even human?!

Long You had this question about Zhang Bairen.

Long You, whose upper body was shattered, was almost turned into mincemeat.

This kind of injury cannot be recovered quickly in a short period of time.

Zhang Bairen walked up to Long You and asked, "So? Do you want to surrender?"

Long You's body is recovering rapidly, but he is currently unable to escape Zhang Bairen's attack range.

"Impossible! I wasn't prepared!"

"If you're so capable, wait until I recover and then we'll have another match!" Long You shouted, trying to hide his shame.

“Okay, I can wait until you recover,” Zhang Bairen nodded in reply.

One minute later, Long You, who had fully recovered, became even weaker.

The recovery from his injuries also requires the consumption of vital energy. Long You, who was already in a state of low health, is now even more severely weakened.

"Heavenly Qi, Wisdom, Speed, Strength, Control, Qi, Destruction, Annihilation, Nothingness!"

Eightfold unity, the ninth level of Heavenly Qi—God!

An immense aura rose around Long You, his white hair moved without wind, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and his strength and state underwent a complete transformation.

"Let's fight!"

With a loud shout, Long You took the initiative to launch an attack.

Zhang Bairen raised his sword finger and launched a probing attack with the invisible Heavenly Sword.

As the sword pointed downwards, the Heavenly Sword slashed out, and the invisible blade shattered into countless fragments outside of Long You's protective aura.

"Not bad, the increase is quite good." Zhang Bairen clenched his right fist and unleashed a million-ton punch—Dragon Scale Breaking the Sun!

Break it!

"

The two fists collided, and an invisible wave of energy swept out.

The area within a radius of over a thousand meters was reduced to actual ruins in this exchange of blows.

Long You's fist turned into a shower of minced meat.

Zhang Bairen took a half step back.

This strike was enough to make Long You proud.
