"You little brat, I underestimated you. Well played!"
Luo Qilin clutched his chest, feeling his cultivation fall. He gritted his teeth in unwillingness, but there was little resentment in his gaze as he looked at Ye Kang. Instead, a trace of relief had appeared.
"Indeed, achieving He Dao is no simple matter. There are countless geniuses in this world, and Grandmasters are as numerous as trees on a mountain, but how many actually reach He Dao? I made the most perfect plans I could, but whether I succeeded was still up to fate. Ye Kang, let us fight. The winner takes all. Whoever claims this Incense Divine Kingdom will have the chance to reach He Dao. When the time comes, whoever wins, I hope we can at least grant each other a dignified end."
Luo Qilin stared at Ye Kang, a sincere look on his face.
But the next second, countless phantoms appeared all around Ye Kang. They made the same movements, tearing through the void in an instant. Then countless attacks burst from the cracks, engulfing Ye Kang outright.
That was right. Luo Qilin had been distracting him all along, all to launch a sudden attack and leave Ye Kang no time to react.
He knew Ye Kang was powerful and absolutely couldn't be treated like a Four-Qi Martial Artist. Besides, his own cultivation had fallen. If they truly fought head-on, he'd be in grave danger.
So he could only seize the initiative and finish the brat as quickly as possible.
Yet he had underestimated Ye Kang once again. Faced with Luo Qilin's carefully prepared assault, Ye Kang seemed ready for it. The Shan Hai Chess Pieces surged, sweeping away one wave of attacks, while the Demon Banning Pagoda blocked all those that got past.
