"What if you're here? Your captain killed my Purple Heaven Dragon Lord. Shouldn't your Yellow One Camp give me an explanation?"
Li Yao snorted coldly.
"What a joke!"
Yuan Ce shouted, "Then tell me, what explanation do you want? You clearly had the strength to kill Purple Heaven Dragon Lord, yet you refused to do so, allowing him to slaughter the people along Golden Pine River. How many innocent people died along its banks because of you? I think the one who should give an explanation is you, Li Yao!"
Li Yao's expression changed as he roared, "What explanation do I need to give?! They were merely lowly people. If they died, they died. Do you expect me to pay for their lives?! Don't think I'm afraid just because you, Yuan Ce, are here today!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure shot forward, and he viciously thrust at Yuan Ce's chest!
"How presumptuous!"
Yuan Ce's eyes turned cold as he bellowed.
The long saber in his hand trembled sharply, and a vast saber intent erupted from its blade. Blade light poured down like an inverted galaxy as it slashed through the air.
Clang!!
The instant saber and spear collided, a crisp, thunderous crash erupted.
Immediately afterward, an incomparably violent shockwave burst from the point of impact, pressing a massive depression into the surface of Golden Pine River.
Li Yao grunted and staggered back two steps.
Yuan Ce only retreated half a step before steadying himself, staring coldly at Li Yao.
Jiang Bei did not hesitate. The moment Li Yao retreated, he shot forward, swinging the Heavenfire Ruler, wrapped in Eight Karmas Divine Flame, fiercely toward Li Yao!
Li Yao's expression changed drastically. In his haste, he swept his spear shaft back and blocked the blow.
"You—!"
Li Yao was furious
