A Secret Message, Kept Under Lock and Key Even Through Gritted Teeth
Upon seeing this, a faint hint of disdain flashed in Yang Jian's eyes.
Yang Jian's figure blurred as he charged straight at the man in black.
A series of loud collisions erupted, and Yang Jian and the man in black immediately clashed. The two transformed into two shooting stars, locked in fierce combat.
The two instantly clashed, and the surrounding space seemed about to collapse.
"So fast!"
Upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance, the man in black's expression also changed drastically, becoming extremely solemn.
He had already noticed Yang Jian's extraordinary abilities earlier, but he hadn't expected Yang Jian's speed to be so terrifying.
A series of loud bangs followed, and Yang Jian used his spear to sweep away both black Sword-Ray.
Yang Jian then launched another attack on the man in black.
Upon seeing this, a grim expression flashed across the black-clad man's face; clearly, he hadn't expected Yang Jian to be so fast.
The two sides instantly clashed again, with violent shockwaves constantly emanating from mid-air and terrifying gales raging all around, causing the surrounding trees to sway violently.
The black-clad man beside him grew increasingly grim. He had thought his strength was already formidable, but he hadn't expected to be at a disadvantage in his battle against Yang Jian.
Soon, the two exchanged hundreds of blows, and finally, a victor was determined. The black-clad man's expression instantly turned even more grim.
"Hmph! So what if you're stronger than me? You're still at a disadvantage. Let's see where you can run this time!" Upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance, the man in black coldly stared at Yang Jian and spoke, his eyes filled with intense hatred and rage, his killing intent towards Yang Jian reaching its peak.
He never expected Yang Jian to possess such terrifying strength. Although Yang Jian was indeed only at the Early Profound Emperor realm just now, he couldn't sense Yang Jian's cultivation level at all, because Yang Jian gave him such a peculiar feeling, as if he were a towering mountain peak.
Furthermore, he sensed Yang Jian's cultivation level. Although Yang Jian's apparent cultivation level was at the Peak Profound Saint, he knew that Yang Jian definitely possessed the strength of Profound Venerable. This meant that Yang Jian might be a super strong expert.
He never imagined that he would provoke such a powerful enemy, and that this enemy's strength was so terrifying that he had no chance to resist at all.
However, at this moment, the man in black had already made up his mind that after capturing Yang Jian, he must kill him first, and then leak the news. He absolutely could not allow anyone to know about his affairs, otherwise, once the news was leaked, it would be a catastrophic disaster for their Black Water Palace.
After making up his mind, the man in black unleashed another terrifying Sword-Ray, attacking Yang Jian directly.
"Hmph! Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being impolite!" Upon seeing the other party's appearance, Yang Jian snorted coldly, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes. He immediately unleashed the "Tyrant Dragon Instruction," instantly unleashing a powerful pressure. A huge, purple-gold phantom dragon appeared behind Yang Jian and charged directly towards the man in black.
"Roar..."
With a roar, the purple-gold dragon pounced fiercely at its opponent. At the same time, Yang Jian didn't hesitate either, instantly moving behind the man in black and throwing a punch at him.
"Not good!!"
Upon seeing this, the man in black quickly turned around, trying to avoid it.
"You're courting death!!" Upon seeing the man in black, a cold expression flashed across Yang Jian's lips. He moved instantly, his spear thrusting directly into the man's chest.
Yang Jian's spear pierced directly into the black-clad man's chest, penetrating deep inside before being pulled out from behind.
"Ah..."
Immediately, the man in black let out a scream, blood spurting out instantly. A sharp pain shot through his body from his chest, causing him to groan and stagger backward several steps, his face pale.
"You... how could you be so powerful?" Seeing that Yang Jian had actually pierced through his body, the man in black stared at Yang Jian in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"I told you, I will kill you today!" Yang Jian said, and a strong murderous Sha Qi emanated from his body once again.
Yang Jian moved swiftly, instantly reappearing in front of the man in black, and then kicked him directly in the stomach.
The man in black hadn't expected that he couldn't even break through Yang Jian's defense. Yang Jian him directly in the abdomen, sending him sprawling to the ground. His face turned deathly pale, and he coughed incessantly.
"You... you are so despicable and shameless, launching a sneak attack!" Upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance, the man in black roared angrily.
"Heh, despicable and shameless? I told you, no one can save you today, but it's not your place to criticize me now!" Upon seeing the man in black, Yang Jian's lips curled into a cold smile, and his eyes flashed with deep contempt.
"Fine, since you're so despicable, then don't blame me for being impolite!" the man in black said. He took out a small bottle from his Storage Ring, swallowed a pill, and then threw the bottle away, slapping it at Yang Jian.
The next moment, a perfectly round black bead appeared in the black-clad man's hand.
The man in black then crushed the pill in his hand and swallowed it. A powerful energy burst forth from his body, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.
"Hmph, what do you want to do?" Upon seeing the other party's actions, Yang Jian's brows furrowed immediately, and his expression turned extremely ugly and gloomy.
