Ye Liangchen had only taken a few firm steps when suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of him like a ghost, blocking his path.
The man in black exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine, as if he had come from the deepest hell, making people shudder and feel fear.
"Boy, you must be Ye Liangchen?" The voice of the man in black was like the cry of an owl, sinister and piercing.
Ye Liangchen frowned slightly, staring warily at the person before him, and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
At this moment, the man in black was like an insurmountable iceberg, cold and mysterious. Just by standing there, he brought Ye Liangchen an unprecedented sense of oppression and an extremely dangerous signal. Ye Liangchen's right hand had already quietly rested on the bracelet he carried with him, just in case.
"Who I am is unimportant," the man in black said slowly, his tone as cold as a winter's wind. "However, I have come here today to lend you a hand."
"Help me?" Ye Liangchen looked suspicious, clearly half-believing the man in black.
"That's right." The man in black nodded slightly and continued, "As a commoner, you must have had a tough time these past few years, right? Have those so-called 'upper-class' people around you always looked at you strangely, viewing you through tinted glasses? They treated you like an ant, trampling on your dignity at will. But all of that will be in the past!"
As the conversation deepened, the man in black approached Ye Liangchen step by step, and the invisible pressure grew stronger.
"However, in this dog-eat-dog world, only absolute strength can control everything! As long as you follow my guidance and continuously grow stronger, one day you will be able to reach the pinnacle of this world, making everyone look up to you! At that time, no one will dare to look down on you in the slightest!"
Looking at the incredibly arrogant man in black before him, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but indulge him.
"I'm sorry, I did have a tough time before, but I'm doing very well now."
The man in black saw that Ye Liangchen didn't want to talk to him.
Flames had already appeared in his palms, which were placed behind his back.
The purplish-red flames flickered in and out of view.
He did not want to kill Ye Liangchen directly now.
He saw potential in Ye Liangchen.
"Kid, isn't it a bit too hasty to refuse before even understanding the situation?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Luo Shan was trained by you, right?"
Upon hearing Ye Liangchen mention Luoshan, the man in black still wanted to continue trying to persuade him.
“That’s right, Luo Shan was trained by me. However, when he was young, he was injected with some drugs, which pushed his physical potential to its limit. Originally, his superpower level had reached its limit in this lifetime, but he made rapid progress in those few days and is about to catch up with you.”
Ye Liangchen sneered, "So what? His rapid progress is his business. I'm only focused on my own path as a martial artist. I won't associate with unscrupulous people like you."
A flash of anger crossed the man in black's eyes. "You ungrateful wretch! Our organization can give you tremendous power, yet you resist so vehemently."
Ye Liangchen clenched his fist. "I'm sorry, we have different ideas and our paths are not aligned, so we cannot work together."
The man in black snorted. "You think you can fight against the injustice of the world on your own? Our organization can help you break free from the shackles of all social classes."
Ye Liangchen scoffed, "I don't need to break through anything through crooked means. True martial artists rely on their own beliefs and perseverance."
The flames in the man in black's hands flickered even more fiercely. "Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame me for being impolite. Since you can't be used by our Holy Church, then you only have one outcome: death."
Ye Liangchen was not afraid. He activated the energy in his bracelet, and a long sword appeared in his hand, ready to meet the attack from the man in black.
Just as tensions were running high, a voice unique to the Zhenyuan Division suddenly rang out from afar.
Clearly, there were people from the Zhenyuan Division not far away.
The man in black realized he could not linger any longer and had to finish the fight quickly.
The flames instantly transformed into a terrifying fireball.
The fireball struck instantly, and Ye Liangchen could feel terrifying pressure.
The surrounding space was locked down by the men in black.
Ye Liangchen had no chance of retreating.
He channeled all his supernatural abilities into his longsword, preparing for a battle where his sword would leave no trace.
The fireball left the man in black's hands.
Ye Liangchen's heterochromatic eyes opened instantly, and a red world appeared around him.
The longsword emitted a golden light.
The red and gold colors intertwine constantly, like a devil and an angel.
The fireball fell rapidly.
The sword strike was executed swiftly and without leaving a trace.
The longsword touched the fireball.
The powerful energy carried him backward, and Ye Liangchen originally wanted to resist.
Unexpectedly, his supernatural energy was exhausted as soon as he made contact.
The flames instantly burned him.
Ye Liangchen was knocked back dozens of meters, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The man in black slowly walked towards Ye Liangchen.
"Boy, this is your last chance. Serve the Holy Church, or die."
"Don't even think about it."
Ye Liangchen said weakly.
The man in black originally planned to use his superior strength to make Ye Liangchen feel the fear of death first, and then let Ye Liangchen subdue him.
Unexpectedly, Ye Liangchen was a tough nut to crack, refusing to be swayed by either soft or hard tactics.
The man in black looked completely calm when he saw Ye Liangchen, and pointed his finger directly at the top of Ye Liangchen's head.
Ye Liangchen's bracelet was emitting light, and the two balls of energy inside were spinning anxiously.
I don't know what to do.
"We're doomed, old man. This guy is so terrifying. The Divine Child is actually going head-to-head with him. What should we do?"
"Don't worry, the divine child is a lucky person and will be blessed by heaven. Just wait and see."
The man in black wanted to continue attacking, but a terrifying energy surged from behind him.
The man in black quickly left.
A deep pit appeared in the ground thirty centimeters in front of Ye Liangchen.
Who is it?
The man in black looked around and noticed someone standing not far away.
"It's me. I didn't expect you to actually come to Jiang Province. But since you've met me today, you're not leaving now."
The person who came was none other than Li Wenyuan.
The man in black was also very flustered when he saw the newcomer.
Li Wenyuan glanced at Ye Liangchen behind him, a hint of relief in his eyes, and gave him an approving look.
"Li Wenyuan, you probably can't stop me."
"Is that so? Whether I can stop you or not isn't just talk; it's a matter of proving my skills."
A longsword also appeared in Li Wenyuan's hand. The longsword was exquisitely crafted and exuded a domineering aura.
Seeing this, the man in black stood still, seemingly calm, but inwardly he was panicking.
