Successfully claiming the spoils
Su Zhan secretly informed the Moon Beast to take the Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon's Young to hide in the Mirror of Insight. The Mirror of Insight was, after all, a divine Divine Artifact that could completely isolate it from outsiders.
Then Su Zhan began to implement his plan. He stared intently at the person in front of him and said, "Since we're going to fight, let's have a good, hard-fought battle. Whoever wins gets to take everything from the other. What do you think?"
The man looked at Su Zhan, his mockery growing more pronounced. "Of course you can, but don't regret it."
Su Zhan: "A word spoken cannot be taken back."
The man sneered, "Don't worry, I'll spare your life after you lose."
Su Zhan thought to himself: Oh, you are truly merciful. I will not spare your life.
Their eyes met, and the two began to fight.
In the instant it began, the person's figure vanished from Su Zhan's sight.
Su Zhan extended his Divine Sense, searching everywhere and becoming more vigilant. He had to admit that the other party was indeed a powerful figure, and his arrogance was well-founded.
Su Zhan was nervous, but the more nervous he was, the calmer he had to appear on the surface. He kept Great God sense and set up Spatial Barrier around himself.
He quickly felt a chill run down his spine and immediately dodged.
Sure enough, the next second, a huge gap was blasted into that place.
Su Zhan frowned and unleashed a fierce attack, but the person's figure mysteriously vanished before his eyes, as if melting into the space itself, leaving no trace.
Su Zhan's aura surged, and he felt tense. Although he could dodge the opponent's attacks, he couldn't keep passively dodging like this forever.
If you can't take the initiative to attack, you're destined to lose to your opponent; being highly vigilant in defense is extremely physically demanding.
They went back and forth dozens of times, but the situation remained deadlocked.
Soon, Su Zhan showed signs of weakness. His energy was waning, and even his barrier was thinning. It was clear that he was about to lose this war of attrition, and his expression grew increasingly panicked.
In just a few minutes, they exchanged hundreds of moves.
Finally, Su Zhan heard a soft laugh, followed by an unprecedented sense of crisis that washed over him.
Su Zhan instantly understood: the ultimate move was coming!
He instantly left his original spot, and many humanoid phantoms appeared around him.
The man sensed something was wrong, but before he could react, he found himself surrounded by more than a dozen Avatar Cultivation Method.
They surrounded the man, unleashing a powerful aura as attacks rained down on him from all directions.
He initially thought these were just Illusionary Technique, with only one or two of them actually possessing offensive power. However, when these attacks struck him, he realized that these things were indeed powerful, each one of them carrying immense strength.
After enduring more than a dozen blows, he swayed unsteadily, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, and said to Su Zhan with a sharp look in his eyes:
"I never imagined you were Puppet Master!"
Su Zhan raised his eyes and replied, "What is that?"
As expected, he received no reply and Su Zhan manipulated his Avatar to continue attacking him.
He had been holding back and feigning weakness all along, waiting for this moment, waiting for the other party to relax and stop concealing his aura, so that he could launch a fatal blow.
This blow, if it lands on him, would probably reduce his fighting power by half.
As expected, his attacks no longer had the same swift momentum as before, and even his Movement Method became much slower.
The man no longer wanted to fight; he only wanted to turn around and escape.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. His previous refusal to inform the Heavenly Mystery Sect and his solo arrival here were simply because he wanted to monopolize that cub.
Although he didn't know what it was, he could sense that it possessed immense power.
When they encountered the adult Time-Space Sealing Demon Dragon, they fought a great battle, which greatly depleted his power. The battle only ended when the dragon left on its own.
He didn't chase after it. Such a large and ferocious beast, having reached adulthood, would no longer submit to others.
Since it has a cub, my best choice is to find that cub, tame it from a young age, and make it my guardian beast.
Now that the plan to monopolize the cubs is hopeless, preserving their lives is the most important thing.
But it's too late now. Su Zhan has already brought him here, so how could he let him leave?
If he leaves now and goes to find reinforcements from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, then Su Zhan and his group will truly have no hope of victory.
A cold glint flashed in Su Zhan's eyes as he said, "Since you've chosen to fight me to the death, how can you leave?"
Su Zhan then manipulated more than a dozen Avatar to surround and Avatar him. After this period of training, the avatars' strength had far surpassed that of before.
Su Zhan couldn't defeat him alone, but now with more than a dozen of them standing together, they were confident of victory against the heavily injured Su Zhan.
In this way, Su Zhan was no longer in a hurry. He would make a move like a cat teasing a mouse, letting the mouse run a few steps before finishing it off.
Let him stumble and fall, yet never lose hope, deliberately guiding him to flee deeper into the dense forest, where the concealment is better, ensuring his death is completely buried.
Finally, he escaped to the center of the dense forest. Su Zhan could no longer tolerate it and controlled his Avatar to surround and attack him.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of scorching White Dragon Flame erupted, igniting him and the trees within a radius of tens of kilometers.
After a raging inferno, the flames died down, leaving only ashes. No one could tell that anyone had ever been there.
Su Zhan clapped his hands in satisfaction and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Even though this guy was half-dead, he wasn't easy to beat; he just exhausted him.
Then Years Avatar appeared behind him and handed him a small gift.
The object was exquisite and delicate, shaped like a bell. Su Zhan knew that it was the other party's Space Artifact, containing all his belongings.
Such things should certainly be kept; they were the stakes he lost to himself, and it would be a waste to throw them into the fire.
Upon opening it, it was indeed filled with treasures, including legendary Divine Artifact herbs that could be used for Alchemy, as well as various rare and precious Artifact...
Su Zhan didn't recognize many of the things at all, and he needed the help of the Cultivation Method and the system to recognize even a small part of them.
Su Zhan became increasingly pleased as he looked at the document, feeling as if he had struck gold.
He used to think he was very rich, with so many treasures on him, but now he realizes just how poor he really is.
Indeed, it's true that when you're out there struggling on your own, you can't compare to someone with a large family business; it's good to have a powerful backer.
This made him waver, wondering if he should become a street robber in the future.
