Lei Ze just stood there, his eyes calm but with a hint of coldness.
Hearing this, he glanced over, and in just a thought, the ground under the man's feet exploded with crystal spikes again, penetrating the entire floor at a speed that caught him off guard.
The man revealed the jade wristband from his sleeve, which had already turned to slag. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Great God Lei Ze, do you know how many fragments there are in the Heavenly Rank, and how many magical instruments I carry with me? Without the Stone of Heaven and Earth, your divine power cannot be consumed indefinitely. You and I both know this. Are you sure you want to fight me here until your divine power is exhausted? If that happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to break the seal of the Stone of Heaven and Earth."
The truth that the other party suddenly revealed made Lei Ze frown.
Not only him, but Ye Lan and the elders were also stunned.
After a few seconds, Ye Lan finally reacted. No wonder Lei Ze had rarely used his divine power since he woke up. On the one hand, it might be because the nobility and dignity of the gods did not allow him to lower himself to intervene in human disputes. On the other hand, he might be aware of his own situation, so he was conserving his strength.
Seeing that Lei Ze had stopped attacking despite not responding, the man raised his lips again, his blood-stained red lips carrying a hint of temptation, and advised: "I'll leave the Heaven and Earth Stone here, but I've made a very strong sealing array with the Heavenly Rank. If you want to retrieve your heart, continue to sleep and sense it. Perhaps you can find it before the world ends."
Sleeping.
Only at this moment did he reveal his true purpose.
Use the raw stones of heaven and earth to clamp Lei Ze and cut off the strongest combat force in their team.
Moreover, the situation did not allow them to refuse.
Ye Lan knew that the other party was telling the truth without even asking.
The situation was at a stalemate, and she was the first to speak.
"Leize." This was the first time she addressed him by his name. Speaking as a friend, her clear, cold voice was filled with determination and courage. "I know you're trying to help us, but if you hesitate for even a second, there will be more casualties outside, and your chances of finding the rough stone will decrease. So, focus on finding the rough stone, and leave this to us."
Don't worry, we can hold on.
Lei Ze looked back at her and saw a firm belief in her clear eyes.
This was the most beautiful appearance of a human being he had ever seen, and everything he found beautiful seemed to be related to the girl in front of him.
So he softened his brows, smiled, and whispered, "Then don't die."
It's not an auspicious statement, but it's the most sincere advice.
Ye Lan nodded slightly, "Yeah."
She promised him that she would hold on until the last moment.
Soon, Lei Ze closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into his body. When he opened his eyes again, his entire aura had changed.
"It's the Xiao family kid. He's recovered." The elders immediately recognized the person who possessed the cold atmosphere and expressed their joy at his complete recovery. "Don't worry, the Xiao family kid is practicing the Chaos Technique. If he were to challenge Qing Teng, his strength would probably be on par with his. We still have a chance of winning."
The elders are full of confidence in this.
However, Ye Lan was not so optimistic.
Lei Ze fell into a deep sleep to search for the raw stone, so Xiao Yunting, who appeared now, was relying on his own willpower to suppress his second personality, which in itself would affect his combat effectiveness.
As their eyes met, she opened her mouth to say something, but Xiao Yunting spoke before her.
"I'm fine." The man's voice was as deep and magnetic as ever, as powerful and cold as when they first met. But now, a hint of tenderness and friendship lurked in his eyes as he looked at her. He didn't approach, but stood there and assured her, "I will win."
Believe me.
Ye Lan stared deeply at his eyes and eyebrows for a long while, then just slightly curled the corners of his lips without saying anything more.
At this moment, a man's sneer came from a distance, "You may not be very capable, but you are quite arrogant."
It goes without saying who is being talked about.
Xiao Yunting then turned to look at the other party and said calmly and rationally, "You deliberately sent Lei Ze away just to lure me out. You wanted to kill me."
This is an affirmation, not a question.
The curve of the man's mouth instantly converged. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression under the mask was unpredictable, but definitely not good-looking.
But in the blink of an eye, he burst into laughter again, wanton and arrogant, "Hahaha, killing you wouldn't require any effort on my part. I just don't want you to die so easily. Now that you've appeared, this duel can officially begin."
He raised his hand and cut off a crystal, then sat down leisurely, returning to the state he was in control of the situation at the beginning.
No one could guess what he was thinking.
But with his strength and the protection of a heavenly grade magic weapon, it is not Ye Lan's turn to make the rules at the moment.
In this duel, Xiao Yunting had no choice but to take part.
Just when everyone was on guard about how many capable generals the man had under his command, a figure slowly walked out from the corpse tree hanging suspended behind the palace.
His steps were a little heavy and his breathing was very turbid.
The elders looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man in a suit, looking elegant and handsome. There was a hint of familiarity between his handsome eyebrows, as if they had seen him somewhere.
"Fortunately, it looks like he's not a master." Qing Teng was the first in the team to breathe a sigh of relief and whispered to his senior brother next to him.
He and Xiao Yunting are equally strong, and if they were to go head-to-head, the other party might even have the upper hand.
In this situation, he felt that Xiao Yunting would definitely be able to handle opponents of average level.
But after he finished speaking, no one responded.
He looked at his second senior brother Liancheng in confusion and found that the other party had a frown on his face and his eyes were full of emotions.
"What's wrong with you all?" He saw that the expressions of the others were not right and felt a little confused for a moment.
At this moment, Nan Xu, who was standing in front of him, spoke in a frighteningly cold tone, "Don't you realize that he looks a lot like Xiao Yunting?"
What?
Qing Teng's eyebrows jumped, and he looked over again. He had just been busy observing the other party's strength, but now he was surprised to find that the man's eyebrows, eyes and facial features were indeed 50% similar to Xiao Yunting.
They had previously conducted a systematic investigation on Xiao Yunting, the clan member. His biological mother was a foreign woman, who was later confirmed to be a spy planted in the Xiao family by the Mind School.
However, her biological father, Xiao Wanshan, was a playboy by nature, but he fell in love with Celia at first sight. He even abused his own son for her and later died a violent death.
However, the man who appeared before him had a subtle coincidence in both age and appearance...
Before everyone could react, Ye Lan on the sidelines took the lead in attacking.
The invisible sword in her hand pointed directly at the middle-aged man who was walking slowly towards her. When it encountered the first layer of barrier, the sword suddenly slashed forward.
Bang.
The internal energy and the barrier collided with each other, making a loud noise, and the shattered barrier knocked down two pillars nearby.
After a successful attack, she continued to move forward. Just as she was about to hit the middle-aged man in the face, a crystal spike suddenly flew across the sky.
Without thinking, Ye Lan used his palm as a seal and went forward without hesitation.
“Chief!”
Everyone was startled, but it was too late to offer support. They could only watch Ye Lan being pushed several steps forward, covering his chest and groaning.
