"You knew I was following you?"
Hai Chunsheng froze for a moment.
Then he sneered, "You're quite the actor."
Saying this, he approached Chen Jie step by step.
Chen Jie frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Heh heh, you've ruined my good deeds time and time again, so naturally, I must punish you. And the punishment I give you will be severe!"
Hai Chunsheng declared.
"Is that so? How severe?" Chen Jie asked.
"I'll kill you!"
Hai Chunsheng's steps suddenly quickened. "You shouldn't have, you really shouldn't have, ruined my plans on the train, and even more so, you shouldn't have treated Zhang Ziqiang when I couldn't revive him."
"Therefore, I'm taking your life now! After you die, I'll personally go find Zhang Xinyan and claim her!"
Chen Jie's gaze turned cold. "Is that so?"
"You should be grateful you met me. If you had met my master, he would have torn you to pieces! You'd wish you were dead!" Hai Chunsheng said.
"You have a master?" Chen Jie frowned.
"Master, stop wasting your breath with him, just kill him quickly!" Xiao Fang, who was not far away, said impatiently.
If it weren't for Chen Jie, her affair with Hai Chunsheng wouldn't have been discovered.
She wouldn't have had to break up with Er Lang.
It was all Chen Jie's fault.
Therefore, she wanted to watch Chen Jie die with her own eyes to quench the hatred in her heart.
"Go to hell!"
Hai Chunsheng's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly extended his hand, striking towards Chen Jie.
"I'll let you know that knowing a few simple spells only makes you trash!"
"As for me, I am someone you need to look up to!"
A talisman was drawn on Hai Chunsheng's palm.
As he struck out, the talisman on his palm emitted a faint glow.
This was a common move for spell masters.
The rune was pre-printed on the palm, and when needed, one only had to inject energy to easily deal with enemies.
However, although this move was powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy, so he wouldn't use it lightly under normal circumstances.
But today, he decided to let Chen Jie witness his might.
"Kid, I'll make sure you don't even leave a speck of dust behind!" Hai Chunsheng said with a sinister smile.
Bang!
Just then, his hand landed on Chen Jie.
There was a dull thud.
To his surprise, Chen Jie didn't seem to have suffered any damage and remained standing in place, unmoving.
Meanwhile, his spell master energy was surging uncontrollably into Chen Jie's body.
"What's going on?" Hai Chunsheng's expression changed.
He found that he couldn't retract his hand anymore!
His internal energy was flowing into Chen Jie's body uncontrollably.
Chen Jie was slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected Hai Chunsheng's spell energy to be malevolent energy.
This could be perfectly purified into spiritual energy and used for his own benefit!
"Not bad, I'm quite satisfied with your energy!"
Chen Jie nodded.
"What?"
In just this short while, Hai Chunsheng's internal energy was almost depleted.
"What did you do to me?" Hai Chunsheng's face turned ashen.
"Do you think that when the old man was possessed, and even you couldn't do anything, I was just lucky to subdue him?" Chen Jie sneered.
"You..."
Hai Chunsheng's expression changed.
Indeed, that's what he had thought.
Chen Jie hadn't even made a move then.
He had merely touched the other party, and they had been defeated.
In his eyes, Chen Jie either took advantage of Fang Shaohua's energy running out or had a method to counter Fang Shaohua.
He hadn't thought that Chen Jie possessed overwhelming strength.
Now, thinking back, he was terribly mistaken.
Chen Jie was a master of unfathomable power!
"Heh heh, even so, what of it! You'll still die!"
Suddenly, Hai Chunsheng felt the suction from his hand disappear.
He then retreated madly and shouted, "Master! Save me! Someone wants to kill me!"
"Which blind idiot dares to bully my disciple?"
As his voice faded, a dark figure emerged from the shadows.
Hai Chunsheng kept his distance from Chen Jie. Only when the figure reached him did he say, "Master, it's that young punk! He's ruined my plans more than once, and now he wants to take my life."
Then, he said shamefully, "I'm not his match. I've disgraced you!"
"Hmph, to be Cao Hanzi's disciple and not even be able to defeat a young man, you have indeed disgraced me!"
Cao Hanzi said with displeasure.
From afar, Chen Jie had already been stunned.
The moment Cao Hanzi appeared, he recognized the man's identity.
Cultivators could see in the dark, and he had already spotted the man.
He just hadn't expected to encounter Cao Hanzi here.
And that Hai Chunsheng was his disciple.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt a disturbance within his storage ring.
Chen Jie directly took out the Shore Flower.
At the same time, he probed into it with his spiritual power.
"Chen Jie! Kill Cao Hanzi, kill him!"
Within the Shore Flower, Fang Shaohua's consciousness roared frantically.
"What? Is this Cao Hanzi from your Shadow Sect?" Chen Jie asked in surprise.
"He's not! He's even more detestable than a traitor of the Shadow Sect! Back then, I was betrayed by my four direct disciples, and he took the opportunity to steal my great sword! Then he fled! If I hadn't lost my great sword, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Fang Shaohua said, "You promised me you would avenge me! It's time to prove your promise!"
Meanwhile, Hai Chunsheng asked doubtfully, "Master, weren't you supposed to arrive in the provincial capital at noon? Why are you so late?"
"I encountered a formidable enemy in Pingcheng! I almost lost my life!" Cao Hanzi said calmly.
"Ah! Who is so powerful that even you are not their match?"
Hai Chunsheng's expression changed, and he said.
"It's nothing. The reason I'm here is twofold: first, to use your connections to unite with the Provincial Spell Association to deal with that person, and second, to retrieve this great sword from my old residence in the provincial capital! After I return to Pingcheng in a few days, I will slay that beast!"
Cao Hanzi took out a bronze sword from a cloth-wrapped package on his back.
Then, he looked sharply at Chen Jie in the distance. "Kid, before I slay my enemy, I'll use you to consecrate my great sword!"
From within Chen Jie's hand, Fang Shaohua's thoughts transmitted again, "Not good! He actually has my great sword with him! Chen Jie, this sword is extremely powerful. I advise you to avoid its edge for now! Run!"
Chen Jie's eyes flickered, and he put the Shore Flower back into his storage ring.
He walked towards Cao Hanzi. "Your great sword? Cao Hanzi, are you sure this great sword is yours?"
Cao Hanzi frowned.
He vaguely felt that this voice was familiar.
When Chen Jie walked under a streetlight, his appearance was revealed to them.
"It's you!" Cao Hanzi exclaimed in shock.
