Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene before them. A charred figure stood behind Sun En and, taking advantage of his attention being focused on Zu An, delivered a fatal blow to his back.
The charred figure was none other than Zang Ao, who had been struck dead by lightning earlier.
How is that possible?
Not only Zuan and his group, but even Sun En couldn't understand it: "Impossible! I just checked you, and you were clearly dead. Those fake death techniques couldn't have fooled my eyes!"
Zu An nodded secretly. It was because he had just personally checked that everyone believed Zang Ao was dead. After all, with Sun En's cultivation level, how could he not be able to tell whether the other party was truly dead or feigning death after a close-up and special inspection?
Even with his tortoise-breathing technique, Wei Suo couldn't escape the deliberate scrutiny of this being.
Zang Ao grinned, his teeth appearing even whiter against his charred face: "Everyone has secrets, don't they?"
It was clear that he didn't intend to tell him the reason.
Sun En looked somewhat unwilling, his fingers moving slowly as if he were forming some kind of magic seal.
Zang Ao noticed this scene but didn't take it seriously: "Sun En, Sun En, you consider yourself a hero, but you fell into my hands back then, and you will fall into my hands again now. You are destined to lose to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fist tightly, and with a bang, his beating heart was crushed.
Sun En coughed up a mouthful of blood, struggled and twisted a few times, and finally slumped down, dying completely.
Everyone in the tomb was dumbfounded. They never expected that such a powerful figure would die so tragically on the spot.
Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although they were being held hostage by the other side along the way, they hadn't been made to suffer. On the contrary, they had gotten along quite well with each other. If they weren't on opposing sides, they might have become friends if they had spent more time together.
Zang Ao put the broken heart into his mouth, and soon a sound of refusal rang out. He sighed with satisfaction, "The heart of a strong man is so delicious."
Everyone's expression changed. Zu An stared at him warily, while also glancing at Jing Teng. Among those present, Jing Teng was the most familiar with Zang Ao. What exactly was going on?
Jing Teng's eyes were also full of confusion as he looked at Zang Ao with disdain: "What exactly are you?"
Zang Ao smiled and said, "I am Zang Ao. Tengteng, don't you recognize me so quickly?"
Whether it was due to absorbing Sun En's heart essence or not, as he spoke, the charred flesh on his body gradually peeled off, and new flesh grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, the charred marks on his body completely disappeared, and he returned to his previous appearance as Zang Ao—no, he even looked younger.
He looked at Zaun: "Speaking of which, I should thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to kill him so easily."
Given Sun En's strength, it's uncertain who would emerge victorious in a direct confrontation.
Zu An felt a stampede of alpacas rushing through his mind. He had been thinking of reaping the benefits without lifting a finger, but he had ended up becoming one of the snipe and the clam.
However, he didn't show it. Instead, he laughed and said, "So, we were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. Now that the great enemy has been eliminated, let's all go back to our own homes and disperse."
As he spoke, he approached the group of women. This guy was too strange.
Zang Ao chuckled a few times: "No, no, no, Sun En, that great enemy, has indeed been eliminated, but you, that great enemy, are still here."
The women's expressions changed slightly, but Zu An remained calm, as if he had expected this: "You saw it just now. Even Sun En was seriously injured by me, which gave you the opportunity to kill him. If we really fought, it's hard to say who would win. Why fight to the death?"
“Your sword strike just now was truly amazing. No wonder Zhao Hao and the Ghost King were so wary of you before,” Zang Ao said, standing with his hands behind his back. He wasn’t in a hurry to make a move, as if everything was under his control. “However, if I’m not mistaken, you won’t be able to swing that sword a second time.”
Zu An's face darkened. As expected of a top-tier existence in the world, few people could match his insight.
"I don't know how you did it, really. That sword strike just now seemed to have utilized the power of this great tomb," Zang Ao muttered to himself.
Seeing that the other person did not answer, he said with a hint of sarcasm, "So all you do is hide among women and let them protect you?"
Zuan smiled slightly: "Being able to live off a woman is a skill in itself. If you're so capable, why don't you try it yourself?"
Zang Ao didn't get angry this time. He looked at Jing Teng and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the whereabouts of the 'Inner Chapter,' and maybe I can spare your lives. Otherwise, it won't look good if I torture someone to threaten you later."
Everyone looked at each other strangely, wondering why the conversation sounded so familiar.
Jing Teng frowned, and before he could say anything, Zu An preemptively answered, "Is the person you're talking about me?"
"If it's not you, then who is it?" Zang Ao sneered. "I was quite angry when Jing Teng fell in love with someone else, but now I think it's a good thing. With someone he cares about, many secrets will probably be revealed."
Zuan replied, "Actually, I'm also curious about her secrets, but I'm different from you. I would never force her, much less use despicable means to coerce her."
"What's the point of saying these nice things to her now?" Zang Ao sighed. "Looks like I have to beat you into submission first, so you won't be so stubborn."
He had already taken a step in front of him, and his fist, as big as a sand bowl, was already at his face.
At this moment, a crescent moon slashed towards his wrist. Yun Jianyue, who had the highest cultivation among the women, was the first to react and immediately used the Crescent Moon Wheel to attack his vulnerable point.
Having experienced the last time in the demon clan's secret realm, her cultivation had greatly improved. Now, with her full-force attack, even Zang Ao dared not dodge or evade and instead take the blow head-on with his wrist.
