"A spar?"
At Nether Son's words, Ye Fengliu and the Left and Right Guardians immediately perked up.
They had witnessed Hua Yunfei's strength firsthand. He was undoubtedly the most monstrous genius they had ever seen.
Nether Son, meanwhile, was the Nether Lord's personal disciple and was recognized by all the myriad beings of the Dark World as its strongest monstrous genius. His strength stood in a league of its own.
If these two fought, it would be quite a spectacle!
"Why are you interested in my strength, fellow Daoist? Did Fellow Daoist Li tell you something?" Hua Yunfei asked with a smile.
"He did. He thinks very highly of your strength, and of that woman surnamed Gong, too," Nether Son replied.
Ever since arriving in the Dark World, Li Wanji had reined in his personality. He was no longer as confident and flamboyant as he had once been, but Nether Son often heard him mention two people.
One was Gou—that is, Hua Yunfei standing before him.
The other was a woman named Gong Qingyan.
Li Wanji had said that even now, he couldn't see through those two or gauge their depths!
"I was merely fortunate enough to get a little farther ahead. Fellow Daoist Li has already transformed, and his state of mind is complete. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through to Immortal Emperor Grade," Hua Yunfei said.
"Heh. I've always been confident in Junior Brother's strength. He's currently in the Nine Nether Abyss, in closed-door cultivation to the death. He won't emerge until he breaks through," Nether Son said.
After defeating Wuya, Li Wanji had entered the Nine Nether Abyss. He was probably fighting bloody battles there now, seeking transformation amid life and death.
"If you'd like to spar, fellow Daoist, I have no objection.
