"Hahahaha..."
Kong Ling burst into laughter.
He looked at Po Xiao and said, "Thank you, Po Xiao, for bringing me such a surprise, and for bringing this treasure right before me. Truly, thank you..."
Kong Ling laughed with excitement. Judging by the aura of the two seals, this was undoubtedly a treasure of heavenly creation.
If he could obtain it, his strength would surge, and who in the world would be his match then?
Moreover, he could ascend to the immortal realm and seek eternal life!
This was an unparalleled temptation for him, as everyone wished for immortality, and he was no exception.
"Hmph! Don't celebrate too soon. They don't belong to you yet!"
"To obtain them, you must step over my dead body!"
Seeing Kong Ling's excited demeanor, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but let out a cold snort. With a wave of his hand, the two seals shot out and hovered above Kong Ling's head.
Immediately, a dark golden beam and a black beam enveloped Kong Ling.
In an instant, Kong Ling's expression shifted. As the two beams enveloped him, he felt his body and soul being infinitely drained.
That feeling of powerlessness filled him with immense panic.
This, was this the power of the two seals?
So strong, truly so strong!
This seat must obtain the two seals.
Muttering inwardly, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in Kong Ling's eyes. The next moment, he charged at Ye Cangtian without hesitation.
He believed that even if he were extremely weak, he would still be no match for Po Xiao!
The next moment, Ye Cangtian suddenly felt a soul attack coming his way, but there was no longer any pain on his face. Instead, a faint smile appeared.
After being affected by the two seals, Kong Ling's soul attack had been greatly weakened and had no effect on him.
Soul Pierce!
The next instant, Ye Cangtian immediately unleashed Soul Pierce and met the attack head-on.
Ah!
It was still a soul pierce attack, but this time, Kong Ling let out a piercing scream.
However, this pain only lasted for a moment before Kong Ling recovered.
But in that fleeting moment, the Death Scythe had already descended.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out, and Kong Ling's body was sent flying backward for over ten meters, managing to stay on his feet.
A terrifying wound had appeared on his chest, and it was bleeding profusely.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian gritted his teeth, regretting that this strike had not killed his opponent.
"Scoundrel, how dare you injure me! I will grind you into dust!"
"Bone Sea, what the hell are you standing there for! Join me and take down Po Xiao!"
On the other side, looking at the profusely bleeding wound, Kong Ling roared.
He knew that with the suppression of the two seals, it would be difficult for him to keep Ye Cangtian alone, so he had no choice but to call for Bone Sea's assistance.
"Roar!"
Just as Bone Sea was about to step forward to help, a black shadow flashed in his vision. The stray cat, which he thought had foolishly followed, instantly blocked his path.
Before Bone Sea could even make a move, the small cat suddenly grew in size before his eyes, letting out a furious roar.
"Netherworld Hunter Tiger!"
Bone Sea was instantly stunned. He naturally recognized the Netherworld Hunter Tiger, but he hadn't expected it to be able to change its size.
Of course, these were not the most crucial things for him.
The most important thing was that the Netherworld Hunter Tiger was now exuding an aura of a quasi-heavenly rank, having become a demon beast.
Facing such a powerful demon beast, it was clearly impossible for him to immediately support Kong Ling.
On the other side, seeing Bone Sea quickly engage in battle with the Netherworld Hunter Tiger, Ye Cangtian wore a smug smile.
"Kong Ling, now it's my turn to ask you, do you have any other trump cards?"
I...
At his words, Kong Ling's face instantly turned red. Before him, Po Xiao seemed like a nobody who had stumbled upon success, yet he was unable to retort.
He had been in seclusion for many years and had only recently taken control of the Dark Association. He didn't have many trump cards on him.
Even if he did, he wouldn't have prepared anything against Po Xiao before.
Because in his eyes, Po Xiao was a mere clown who posed no threat to him.
How could he have imagined that Po Xiao would have such a powerful trump card as the two seals!
"Since you have none, then prepare to die!"
"Coincidentally, I just comprehended a new move. Let me test it out on you!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian brandished the Death Scythe in his hand. Instantly, sounds of mournful cries echoed.
The sounds were like weeping and lamenting, as if recounting endless suffering.
This was the second move of the Thirteen Forms of the Death Scythe, "Suo Duan Chang" (Weeping Severed Heart), which Ye Cangtian had recently comprehended and had not yet successfully executed.
Feeling the Death Scythe slash towards him with boundless might, Kong Ling gritted his teeth, let out a furious roar, and swung his golden long sword.
Instantly, the long sword erupted with golden light and then, like a rainbow, shot out of his hand.
Boom!
The next moment, golden fragments rained down like a golden shower, and a faint dark golden light sliced across Kong Ling's shoulder.
Kong Ling's long sword was shattered upon impact with the Death Scythe, but it had managed to block most of the scythe's attack.
And using the thousandth of a second of collision time, Kong Ling narrowly adjusted his body, avoiding a fatal blow.
Even so, Kong Ling's entire arm was cleanly severed by the Death Scythe.
Looking at the blood gushing from his shoulder, despair flickered in Kong Ling's eyes.
With the suppression of the two seals and no timely rescue, his fate today would likely be death.
"Kong Ling, to be honest, if you hadn't pushed me so hard, I wouldn't have chosen to have a showdown with you at this time. This battle should have waited until after I broke through to the Heavenly rank!"
"But it's meaningless to say this now. Since I have the absolute advantage, let's settle all our accounts!"
"Next, I will seek justice for Lan Yue, my senior sister!"
Seeing Kong Ling severely injured, Ye Cangtian showed no mercy. He slowly walked forward and raised the Death Scythe again.
However, the next moment, Ye Cangtian did not strike. Instead, he retracted the Death Scythe and became vigilant.
He had already sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.
With such terrifying speed, before he could even finish his attack, the opponent might intercept it.
Indeed, the next moment, a green figure flashed by and stood opposite him.
Seeing the familiar purple-gold mask of the other party, Ye Cangtian's expression suddenly darkened.
Standing before him was none other than Xing Yuan, who had previously been in charge of the Dark Association.
Although Kong Ling was severely wounded, he could still fight. If he teamed up with Xing Yuan, Ye Cangtian would clearly be at a disadvantage.
After all, Tian Yuan was also a Heavenly rank expert.
Moreover, he had used Zhan Xiang Si and Suo Duan Chang, and he was controlling the two seals, which had not been a small drain on him.
"Heh heh, it seems I'm late. I almost missed the grand finale!"
A laughing voice approached. Ye Cangtian furrowed his brow, his mind filled with speculation.
Judging by Xing Yuan's tone, he didn't seem to want to be his enemy.
This must be an illusion. Although Xing Yuan had taken good care of him, he wouldn't necessarily let him kill Kong Ling, as Kong Ling was a Heavenly rank expert of the Dark Association.
Without Kong Ling, the strength of the Dark Association would be greatly diminished.
On the other side, Kong Ling's face also turned red. He glared at Xing Yuan and roared, "Xing Yuan, what do you mean? Are you not going to intervene in today's affairs?"
