Battle Between Dou Wangs!

Battle Between Dou Wangs!

The moment Mo Ya sensed something flying toward him, he did not hesitate in the slightest. He struck directly at the mysterious incoming object with his palm.

The palm formed from Dou Qi instantly blew the flying object apart.

Boom!

Yet as the mysterious object exploded, a cloud of purple gas immediately engulfed Mo Ya's entire body.

The instant he saw the color of the gas, Mo Ya's expression changed.

At first, however, he only thought it was poisonous mist thrown out by the mysterious attacker, so he did not give it much thought.

But when he accidentally inhaled a trace of the purple mist and discovered that it was not poisonous, his face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Honestly, at this moment, Mo Ya would rather have hoped it was poisonous mist.

At the very least, with his cultivation as a Dou Wang, he could have forcibly expelled the poison from his body.

Yet it was not poisonous mist at all, but something even more troublesome.

Like Xiao Lin, as the grand marshal who had led troops against the Cloud Empire for years, how could Mo Ya possibly be unfamiliar with the methods of the Cloud Empire's poison masters?

They were an exceptionally troublesome bunch!

It was not that they were particularly powerful, but their methods of planting marks on enemies were simply impossible to guard against.

Although the effects of such marks would gradually fade after a period of time.

That did not change the crushing pressure of feeling watched at every moment by all poison masters just after being marked!

After realizing what the purple mist was, Mo Ya was baffled on one hand. He did not understand why a Cloud Empire poison master would plant a mark on him.

On the other hand, he found it utterly troublesome and headache-inducing.

Could it be some poison master who did not know about my cooperation with the Cloud Empire? Does he want to kill me and weaken the Jia Ma Empire?

Mo Ya could be said to be in the midst of a mental storm.

Otherwise, he truly could not think of any other explanation.

As far as Mo Ya was concerned, this was currently the only reasonable explanation.

After all, the cooperation between him and the Cloud Empire could not be exposed to the light.

There was no need to mention the Jia Ma Empire's side. He would never let anyone else know, while on the Cloud Empire's side, only the Imperial Family and a small number of high-ranking figures likely knew of it.

The others definitely could not know about such a secret cooperative relationship between the two sides.

It was no wonder Mo Ya had made such a guess.

Thus, Mo Ya still believed that some uninformed Cloud Empire poison master wanted to lure him into the Black Rock Mountains and kill him there.

Well, he was helpless when it came to such extreme patriots!

Just as Mo Ya was considering how to explain matters to this mysterious poison master, another piercing sound suddenly came from not far behind him.

"Wait, we are not enemies!"

After dodging the incoming attack with a flash, Mo Ya hurriedly spoke.

By then, the purple mist had long since dispersed.

At the same time, the scent that only poison masters could detect also began to emanate from Mo Ya's body.

And the one who had suddenly launched a sneak attack on Mo Ya was none other than the Cloud Empire commander whom Xiao Lin had also lured here—Ghost Spider!

Of course, Ghost Spider was not actually his real name. It was merely a name he had given himself after pledging allegiance to the Cloud Empire Imperial Family. As for his original name, he had long forgotten it.

The current Ghost Spider was essentially a servant of the Cloud Empire Imperial Family!

In this regard, Ghost Spider was clearly far inferior to Mo Ya in terms of status within the Jia Ma Empire.

At the very least, Mo Ya merely served the Jia Ma Empire; he was not a servant of the Jia Ma Royal House!

Still, this naturally meant that Ghost Spider was utterly loyal to the Cloud Empire Imperial Family.

He naturally knew about the transaction between Mo Ya and the Cloud Empire this time.

Or rather, only if the commanding generals of both sides had exchanged information could this battle have turned out like this!

As for why Ghost Spider had attacked Mo Ya the moment he arrived.

First, Mo Ya had deliberately worn black night attire in order to move conveniently and avoid exposing his identity, so Ghost Spider had not recognized him at first glance.

Second, before he had even gone deep into the Black Rock Mountains, he had already smelled the unique scent indicating that someone had been marked by a poison master.

Meanwhile, because Xiao Lin had timed things so tightly, by the time Ghost Spider entered the depths of the Black Rock Mountains and saw Mo Ya, the special purple gas had already dispersed. Coupled with the corpses of Cloud Empire men scattered all over the ground, how could he not strike out in fury?

It could be said that after seeing all his subordinates wiped out, Ghost Spider had no rationality left to distinguish who the other party was!

At this point, Xiao Lin's plan had essentially succeeded by more than ninety percent!

All that remained was to see whether the two Dou Wang powerhouses would fight because of this.

And judging by the current situation, the possibility of them not fighting was practically zero!

Could one not see that Ghost Spider's eyes were already bloodshot?

After all, more than ten Dou Ling and over a hundred Da Dou Shi subordinates of his had died here!

Even as a servant of the Cloud Empire Imperial Family, he would inevitably receive some punishment upon returning after such losses.

It was no exaggeration to say that such losses were no less severe than losing a hundred thousand ordinary soldiers.

How could Ghost Spider not be frantic with fury?

Only after hearing Mo Ya speak did Ghost Spider finally come to his senses and realize the other party's identity.

"Mo Ya?"

Ghost Spider tried hard to suppress the rage in his heart as he asked through gritted teeth.

"You are... Ghost Spider?"

Likewise, Mo Ya naturally recognized Ghost Spider by now.

Of course, Mo Ya had not expected that the Cloud Empire poison master appearing here would actually be Ghost Spider.

But since it was Ghost Spider, why had he planted such a special mark on him?

Could the Cloud Empire be planning to burn the bridge after crossing it?

Not only do they want to eliminate the Jia Ma Empire's outstanding younger generation, but they also want to keep me here and use that as an excuse to renege on the High-Grade Black-Tier Cultivation Technique they promised me?

Come to think of it, that really was possible!

But if the Cloud Empire intended to do that, why would they kill their own people too?

Looking around at the corpses embedded in the ground, so firmly stuck that they could not even be pulled free, Mo Ya felt that something was wrong.

He always felt that he had fallen into some kind of trap today.

Yet for the moment, he could not figure out where the problem lay.

It could be said that Mo Ya's thoughts were a complete mess.

However, Ghost Spider, who had been desperately suppressing the rage in his heart, could no longer be bothered with any of that.

The area was filled with the corpses of his own men, and judging from their appearance, they had clearly died not long ago. This perfectly matched his understanding of Mo Ya's strength.

In addition, Mo Ya was the only person nearby. He wore black night attire, and he bore the unique mark that only poison masters could plant.

Was that not practically screaming that Mo Ya had betrayed them and instead set up the Cloud Empire?

At that thought, blood even seeped from between Ghost Spider's clenched teeth.

He was furious. He had never expected that he and the Cloud Empire would be played by a sinister scoundrel like Mo Ya!

"Mo Ya, is it? Good. Very good! You will pay for the lives of my fallen subordinates. Die, you despicable, treacherous bastard!"

As Ghost Spider's words fell, he launched an attack on Mo Ya without the slightest hesitation.

A great battle between Dou Wangs erupted without any warning.
