Just as Ye Zhen ground the Innate Soul and head of the demon commander he had locked onto with his aura into powder, Black Cloud Great Sage rushed over with a group of men.
"So after all this, it was you causing trouble!" Hu Mo, the Dao Realm strategist under Black Cloud Great Sage, snorted coldly. A tiger-shaped phantom emerged behind him as he moved to kill Ye Zhen.
"Wait!"
A cruel, teasing look like a cat playing with a mouse surfaced in Black Cloud Great Sage's eyes. "At this point, can he still run? No rush. Let's take our time and play with him!"
"Great Sage, this thief is cunning. We should capture him first, then torture a confession out of him—"
"It won't make a difference if we wait a moment!" Black Cloud Great Sage twisted his fingers, producing a string of terrifying crackling pops from his joints. "Besides, I will do it myself!"
Seeing that Black Cloud Great Sage was about to make his move, Ye Zhen let out a strange, raspy chuckle.
"Great Sage, don't you want to know who I am? Why I specifically chose to oppose you? In two nights, I killed twenty-four of your demon commanders in succession... Oh, no, it should be twenty-five, including this one!" Ye Zhen casually shoved the corpse in his hand aside.
"Who are you?"
Black Cloud Great Sage sneered as well. "I do not wish to know who you are right now, because before long, I will know everything!
"Once you fall into my hands, forget a mere World King Realm cultivator like you—even a Dao Realm expert will tell me whatever I ask!
"I will make you regret opposing me for the rest of your life!"
"Regret?"
A trace of ridicule abruptly appeared at the corner
