Watching Tigers Fight from the Mountain

Watching Tigers Fight from the Mountain

"W-Wait, Ghost Spider, listen to my explanation!"

Mo Ya had only just pulled down the black cloth covering his face when Ghost Spider's attack had already arrived.

Left with no choice, Mo Ya could only fight back in haste.

Of course, Ghost Spider could not really be blamed for being too impulsive.

When you saw that a whole group of your subordinates had died, and there was only one person at the scene—and that person was dressed in black nightwear and bore the special mark left by poison masters—

Tell me, how many people could still think calmly in such a situation?

After all, if only one thing was suspicious, it might truly have been a coincidence.

But was there only one suspicious thing about the situation before them?

There were at least three, all right?

Faced with this, was he supposed to calmly chat with the other party and give him another chance to kill him too?

That would be truly brain-dead!

At this moment, Ghost Spider could only strike first.

Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer for striking later.

Do not forget that Mo Ya was ultimately two stars stronger than Ghost Spider. Although the unique nature of Poison Dou Qi allowed Ghost Spider to fight above his level, that was all it allowed.

The chances of defeating Mo Ya head-on were still very low.

Therefore, seizing the initiative was extremely important to Ghost Spider.

"Netherworld Poison Claw!"

Sure enough, Ghost Spider had even used a Dou Technique.

After his attack missed once again, Ghost Spider did not hesitate in the slightest. He stretched out his right hand and clawed through the air in Mo Ya's direction.

Immediately afterward, a venomous claw glowing with dark black light lunged straight at Mo Ya.

His attempts at explaining himself had been interrupted by Ghost Spider again and again, and the other party had attacked with lethal moves from the start. At last, Mo Ya was truly angered.

Even a clay figurine had some temper, let alone a dignified Grand Marshal like him!

Did Ghost Spider really think he was afraid of him?

Thus, after Ghost Spider unleashed a Dou Technique, Mo Ya began to fight ruthlessly as well.

"Gale Wind Palm!"

As he retreated, Mo Ya smoothly thrust a palm forward.

At once, an azure palm shadow slammed toward the poison claw radiating black gloom.

"Bang!"

"Rumble!"

The collision between the two Dou Techniques caused a massive explosion.

Even the surrounding rock walls were shaved flat over a large area.

But this also meant that the battle between the two had completely escalated!

As for the mastermind behind all of this—Xiao Lin was currently hiding nearby and enjoying the show.

If only I had a chair and a bag of sunflower seeds right now.

Watching the two Battle Kings fight in the distance, Xiao Lin could not help sighing.

If Mo Ya and Ghost Spider knew that their battle had been arranged by Xiao Lin, and that he was even thinking of bringing over a chair to sit down and munch on seeds while watching, they would probably risk their lives to settle the score with him.

Unfortunately, Xiao Lin had planned everything from the very beginning.

In truth, there was another important reason why Xiao Lin had earlier guessed that Grand Marshal Mo Ya had colluded with the Cloud Empire and betrayed the Gama Empire.

It was because, according to the memories he had gained after awakening his Past-Life Wisdom, he knew that after the plot of Battle Through the Heavens began in the original work, the Intel Lineage no longer existed within the Gama Empire.

Yet he vaguely remembered that the original work had indeed mentioned such a Lineage.

And if the original work had truly mentioned the Intel Lineage, but it never appeared later on, then in Xiao Lin's view, there was only one possibility.

The Intel Lineage had ceased to exist after the original plot began!

What could cause a Battle King Lineage to disappear?

After thinking it over, Xiao Lin could only come up with one answer: their treason had been exposed.

With that conclusion in mind, Xiao Lin's suspicion that Grand Marshal Mo Ya had committed treason became perfectly reasonable.

Mu Chen lacked an omniscient perspective, so naturally, he had no idea why Xiao Lin would suddenly suspect Grand Marshal Mo Ya.

But from Xiao Lin's perspective, Mo Ya's treason was the only explanation that made sense!

After Xiao Lin's subsequent arrangements and what he had personally witnessed now, his guess had indeed been confirmed.

Refocusing his mind, Xiao Lin continued observing the fierce battle between Mo Ya and Ghost Spider from the shadows.

By now, both sides had clearly begun fighting in earnest, and the battle had escalated further.

The result was that Ghost Spider, a Five-Star Battle King, was gradually being suppressed by Mo Ya, a Seven-Star Battle King.

After all, there was still a two-star gap between them.

Seeing this, Mo Ya, who had gradually calmed down again, wanted to continue explaining to Ghost Spider that everything happening here had nothing to do with him.

"Ghost Spider, calm down. I did not kill your subordinates!"

Taking advantage of a brief opening, Mo Ya shouted loudly.

"Bullshit! If you did not kill my men, why were you here? And you clearly bear the mark planted by our poison masters. Are you still trying to deny it?"

Faced with Mo Ya's defense, Ghost Spider immediately cursed.

Every piece of evidence was laid out right before him. Did Mo Ya take him for a fool?

Perhaps feeling that his intelligence had been insulted, Ghost Spider launched another Netherworld Poison Claw at Mo Ya.

Because he had been busy explaining himself to Ghost Spider, Mo Ya was caught off guard. The Netherworld Poison Claw grazed his scalp, startling him into a cold sweat.

At that moment, Mo Ya was furious. He truly wanted nothing more than to beat Ghost Spider to death!

However, reason told him that he and Ghost Spider had most likely been set up.

Although he did not know who had plotted against them, that person had lured him here, planted upon him a special mark only poison masters could use, and finally drawn Ghost Spider over as well.

Step by step, Mo Ya was certain that he had fallen into someone's trap!

Otherwise, there was no way coincidence could explain this.

After all, judging by Ghost Spider's appearance, it was impossible that he had arranged to meet Mo Ya here!

Besides, even if Ghost Spider had summoned him here, why would Ghost Spider kill all his own subordinates?

What would that accomplish?

Could Ghost Spider also be planning to betray the Cloud Empire?

That was utter nonsense.

Therefore, to avoid falling for the schemer's "trick," Mo Ya could only forcibly suppress his anger and explain once more.

"Ghost Spider, although I do not know what method the person behind this used to plant upon me the special mark exclusive to poison masters, I can tell you with certainty that he must still be nearby!

We only need to find him, and the truth will become clear.

Moreover, if I am not mistaken, you must have received a letter from some mysterious person before coming here, correct?

Think about it. If that person were me, why would I go to the trouble of doing all this?

Taking a step back, if the person who delivered that letter truly meant you well, why has he still not shown himself?

You need to calm down. We absolutely cannot let that bastard fool us!"

While dealing with Ghost Spider's attacks, Mo Ya rapidly explained.

Sure enough, after Mo Ya finished speaking, Ghost Spider finally calmed down slightly.

After all, since Ghost Spider had been able to become the commanding general of the Cloud Empire's army this time, how could he truly be an idiot?

He had merely been driven mad by the sight before him earlier.

Now, with Mo Ya's explanation, he truly sensed the stench of a conspiracy hanging over him.

"Mo Ya, you really did not do all this?"

Seeing how sincere Mo Ya's explanation was, Ghost Spider's palm, which had been prepared to strike, paused in midair.

Seeing this, Mo Ya finally felt joy rise in his heart.

As long as Ghost Spider was willing to listen to his explanation, it would be fine.

However, just as Mo Ya was preparing to speak again and thoroughly explain the course of events to Ghost Spider, another unexpected change occurred.

At some unknown time, a squad of several dozen people had gradually approached the battlefield between Mo Ya and Ghost Spider.

"Grand Marshal, we have come to help you! Today, we must keep Ghost Spider here!"

As this shout rang out, the smile that had gradually appeared on Mo Ya's face instantly froze, while Ghost Spider ground his teeth so hard that his eyes became bloodshot.
