Jiang Hong pulled on the horse's reins and roared, drawing the long sword from his back with a backhand motion.
The attacker simultaneously unleashed two energy blades, killing two of his martial arts masters. The hairs on his body stood on end.
He knew that he had met his true opponent tonight.
"Jiang Hong, prepare to die!"
Just then, Fang Sihai emerged from a dark area on the long street and blocked Jiang Hong's path.
"Fang Sihai, you cripple, how dare you block my way? You killed my trusted aide?"
Jiang Hong was startled again, because he could feel the murderous aura emanating from Fang Sihai, which seemed to have blocked the entire long street.
Not long ago, before Fang Sihai led his team to hunt down the demonic beasts at Yin Yang Mountain, he poisoned Fang Sihai and all his men. When Fang Sihai and his men arrived at the foot of Yin Yang Mountain, they all experienced hallucinations and then fell unconscious. He personally led the two men who had just been killed to kill all of Fang Sihai's men and throw them into Yin Yang Mountain to feed the demonic beasts. He personally destroyed Fang Sihai's meridians and dantian.
Fang Sihai was just lucky; he wasn't eaten by the monsters and came back alive, but he was crippled and removed from the Demon Suppression Division.
But now, Fang Sihai's aura seems to be no less imposing than before.
"Jiang Hong, you despicable villain, you colluded with the Zhao family to set a vicious trap to harm me. Not only did you cripple my cultivation, but you also killed dozens of my loyal brothers, leaving them with no trace of their bodies. I have held this blood debt in my heart for far too long, and tonight is the time for reckoning!"
Fang Sihai's eyes burned with raging anger, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
After saying that, Fang Sihai suddenly stretched out his right hand, and with a "whoosh", the long sword was drawn, its blade flashing with cold light, just like his resolute killing intent at this moment.
"Fang Sihai, you... your cultivation has actually recovered?"
Jiang Hong's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. However, he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Hmph, even if you know it was me, even if you've recovered your cultivation, so what? You're still no match for me. Tonight you've only come here to die."
He calmed himself down and scanned his surroundings warily. He did not detect any other hidden experts on the long street, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm no match for you? Then open your dog eyes and see who will lie dead here tonight!"
Fang Sihai laughed in extreme anger, his voice booming like a bell, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
He gripped his long sword tightly and approached Jiang Hong step by step.
He had only one thought in his mind: to fight Jiang Hong in close combat and kill him with his own hands. Only in this way could he relieve the hatred in his heart and seek justice for his dead brothers.
"Hmph, what arrogance! I can cripple you once, and I can make you a cripple again!"
A sinister sneer appeared on Jiang Hong's face, and he swooped down from the tall and strong horse like a raptor poised to pounce.
Almost at the same instant, the long sword he carried on his back was drawn with a "whoosh," a sharp blade of light flashed, carrying a whistling sound, and slashed straight at Fang Sihai.
Jiang Hong always knew that his cultivation was far superior to Fang Sihai's. In his opinion, even if Fang Sihai recovered his cultivation, his strength would definitely be much weaker after going through this ordeal.
This thought still gives him a significant psychological advantage.
Although Jiang Hong was thin and small, and his face had a somewhat sleazy look, he was as fast as lightning when he started to fight.
In an instant, the blade flashed, and the sharp longsword, already carrying the force of cutting through the wind, slashed down in front of Fang Sihai. The fierce blade wind made Fang Sihai's cheeks sting, truly a preemptive strike.
However, facing this swift attack, Fang Sihai not only showed no intention of retreating, but instead shouted loudly and advanced instead of retreating, taking a heavy step forward with his right foot, causing several cracks to appear on the bluestone slab under his feet.
At the same time, his internal energy surged like a raging tide, rapidly circulating and unleashing the unparalleled power of the Eight Desolations Sword Technique.
The longsword in his hand shone brightly, resembling a nimble dragon, as it charged towards Jiang Hong's longsword.
With a loud clang, like the tolling of a great bell, the swords clashed fiercely in an instant, and powerful true energy spread wildly outwards from the two of them like surging waves.
The bluestone slabs beneath their feet shattered instantly like a spiderweb under the impact of this terrifying force, sending countless fragments of stone flying.
The scattered true energy, like a wild horse, crashed violently into the shops on both sides of the street.
Just as these shops were about to be destroyed and left in ruins by this force, a strange sight occurred.
Suddenly, mysterious runes began to flash on the eaves and walls of these shops, emitting a faint glow.
Immediately afterwards, the surging true energy vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest damage to the shop.
After this intense head-on collision, Fang Sihai remained calm and his breathing was steady.
In contrast, Jiang Hong's arm was numb from the shock, and he almost lost all feeling in his arm. His internal blood and qi were churning violently.
Jiang Hong was shocked. He could hardly believe that Fang Sihai's strength had improved so dramatically in such a short period of time.
What terrified him even more was that he realized there were hidden dangers in this long street, and Fang Sihai was not the only one waiting for him.
"Fang Sihai, who...who exactly did you hire to deal with me?"
Jiang Hong's voice trembled, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
At this moment, he understood perfectly well that a true master must have set up this magical array of runes here.
This array of runes is incredibly powerful, capable of protecting this long street. Even if he and Fang Sihai were to fight a fierce battle here, all that could be destroyed would be the bluestone slabs on the street.
This realization filled him with fear, because the expert who could set up such a talisman array was clearly far stronger than him, with combat power at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, or even possibly the more powerful Divine Sense stage.
