Huang Xiao suddenly drove more force into his fist, jolting Zhen Heng's palm away, then swiftly retreated three steps.
Zhen Heng did not attack again immediately. He carefully scanned the surroundings once more, but still discovered nothing.
I must be overthinking it, Zhen Heng thought.
Huang Xiao quickly expelled the force that had invaded his fist. He knew he could not contend with Zhen Heng without using Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
"Instead of staying in the Demon Hall and cultivating properly, you insisted on coming out. You're seeking your own death," Zhen Heng said.
Seeing that Huang Xiao still intended to fight, Zhen Heng called out again, "Wait."
Huang Xiao paused briefly, staring at Zhen Heng in some puzzlement.
"Now that you've fallen into my hands, death is your only path," Zhen Heng said. "If you want a quick death, tell me the secrets of the Evil Water Region, including how to enter and leave."
Although the Demon Hall had publicized the secrets of the Evil Water Region, they were certain it had still concealed some. How could it reveal every secret to the world?
Now that he happened to have encountered Huang Xiao, he naturally had to ask.
If he obtained some genuine secrets from Huang Xiao, it would certainly be a great achievement when he returned to the Ghost Spirit Sect.
At this point, he made no suggestion of sparing Huang Xiao, because no one would believe such words.
"That depends on whether you have the strength to defeat me," Huang Xiao said calmly.
Zhen Heng froze briefly, then chuckled. "Big words. Your strength is indeed impressive. As you are now, you should be able to fight experts who have just entered the Enlightenment Realm. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them."
"So what? You only attacked casually just now.
