The Purple Crystal Sparks a Struggle Among the Gods
"Phew! Finally done. But it looks like it will take some time to fully absorb the energy of this thing. I can't waste this time!" With that thought, Yang Jian began to communicate with the Purple Gold Gourd in his mind and started to devour the purple crystal inside.
"Huh? What's going on? That thing actually got out? What's happening?!"
At this moment, on the other side of the ancient ruins, the old man in black also paused slightly, his gaze instantly turning towards the direction Yang Jian had left.
"That damn bastard, he still managed to get away!"
A moment later, the old man in black also came to his senses, and a gloomy expression appeared on his face. The murderous aura on his face was extremely intense.
The old man's identity was self-evident; he was the mysterious old man in black whom they had met in Heavenly Firmament City that day. At this moment, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the spear from Yang Jian's hand, then shot off in a flash, chasing after him the next second.
However, Yang Jian's speed quickly increased, and in the blink of an eye, he had already covered tens of thousands of meters. Soon, he arrived near a valley, where the mysterious old man in black appeared directly in front of Yang Jian. Looking at Yang Jian, his expression instantly turned icy cold.
"Boy, you can't escape. Hand over the amethyst, or don't blame me for being ruthless and making you wish you were dead." The mysterious old man said coldly, his voice filled with boundless killing intent.
"Hmph, you two worthless fish think you can stop me? How laughable! Do you really think you're invincible just because you're Saint Venerable Realm experts? You're just frogs in a well." Upon hearing the black-robed elder's words, Yang Jian's expression turned cold, and he retorted sharply, clearly filled with disdain and contempt for the two mysterious elders before him.
"Court death!"
Upon hearing Yang Jian's provocation, the old man's face immediately darkened, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Yang Jian didn't waste any words and instantly threw a punch with his right hand.
In an instant, Yang Jian punched the old man in black, sending him flying.
In an instant, Yang Jian punched him five or six zhang away, and a mouthful of blood spurted from the black-clad old man's mouth.
"Hmph! Such petty tricks, yet you dare to be so insolent before me. Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame me for what I'm about to do." Upon seeing Yang Jian's performance, the old man in black's expression immediately turned ferocious. He snorted coldly and spoke, clearly furious at Yang Jian's actions.
"Whoosh!"
Immediately, the old man in black rushed towards Yang Jian.
"A mere trick? Heh, you dare to challenge me?" Yang Jian's face showed a disdainful expression as he saw the old man in black rushing towards him.
Immediately, a dazzling purple-gold light shone from Yang Jian's hand. The next moment, the purple-gold light instantly condensed into a giant purple hammer, which smashed fiercely towards the black-clad old man's head.
"Hmph, child's play! Break it!" Upon seeing this, the old man in black also showed a contemptuous expression. He swung his spear directly at Yang Jian's attack, clearly not believing that Yang Jian could withstand it.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Yang Jian's attack landed heavily on the black-clad old man's spear, producing a loud impact. A powerful energy wave instantly spread out, and the collision of the two energies directly unleashed a terrifying shockwave, causing everything around to collapse instantly, with debris flying everywhere.
"What? How is this possible?" The black-clad elder's pupils constricted sharply after feeling his spear being instantly deflected by Yang Jian's powerful strike.
"You're nothing special!" Yang Jian's voice rang in the black-clad elder's ears the next moment. Clearly, Yang Jian hadn't expected his attack to be so easily blocked by the other party.
Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, the black-clad elder's expression instantly turned even more grim. A deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes. Although Yang Jian had only used a common attack method, the power he had unleashed was in no way inferior to a strike from Yang Jian at his peak. This was the fundamental reason why the elder felt such apprehension.
"Damn it, brat! Even if it costs me my life to be seriously injured, I will kill you today!" The old man in black said through gritted teeth.
Clearly, the old man in black had completely lost his temper. Yang Jian's move had severely offended his dignity. If Yang Jian were allowed to live, the old man in black felt that he would never be able to hold his head up again.
"Want to kill me? Then let's see who falls first!" Seeing that the old man in black actually wanted to fight him to the death, Yang Jian smiled coldly, and the next moment his figure blurred and he disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Yang Jian appeared directly behind the old man in black and kicked out.
"Bang!"
Instantly, the old man in black was also sent flying, flying dozens of feet away, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jian secretly shook his head. These people were really asking for trouble; they actually dared to attack him. They were simply courting death!
"How is this possible? This guy dodged our attack so easily? Impossible! He's just an ant, how could he possess such terrifying strength? This is simply impossible!" The old man in black was also shocked.
"Whether you believe it or not, you've already lost. Now, why don't you kneel down obediently and get out of here? Don't bother us again." Yang Jian then glanced indifferently at the old man in black lying on the ground and spoke, his tone full of disdain, clearly not wanting to pay any more attention to the old man in black.
"You bastard, you're too arrogant! Even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me!" The old man in black trembled with rage upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance. Clearly, Yang Jian's words had thoroughly enraged him, and a mad look flashed in his eyes. Then, the old man in black roared, and his aura instantly surged to its peak.
"There is no absolute fairness or absolute justice in this world, only victory and defeat and an outcome. This bet may be unfair, but it is not absolutely just either. Since you lost to me, then what I said is fair. Moreover, we have already made a contract. Any action you take now is inappropriate in my opinion. You should get back here right now!" Yang Jian said calmly.
