With that thought, Yu Daohen stomped his foot on the ground, and as his body lunged forward, he drew the Kanglong mace from his lower back and swung it down.
Shen Fengqing reacted swiftly, turning and drawing the Minghong saber from his waist to block in front of him.
Clang!
The crisp sound of cold steel echoed around, accompanied by a surge of energy that swept outwards.
It was enough to show the immense force of the blow.
Yu Daohen looked at Shen Fengqing, a ferocious smile on his face, "The moment you saw me, you should have turned and fled!"
Shen Fengqing's hands, gripping the saber, trembled slightly, his face grim, filled with shock and surprise.
How had this guy's strength improved so rapidly in such a short time?
Last time, their strength had been equal, but this time he was being suppressed.
Was this cultivation speed not excessively fast?
Yu Daohen had fought Shen Fengqing before and had a good grasp of his tactics.
For someone who could absorb all spells, close combat was the most effective method.
Shen Fengqing retreated a step, clearly unable to resist, his expression growing more unsightly.
Seeing this, Yu Daohen's smile became even more ferocious, "I gave you a chance, but you were useless."
Shen Fengqing suddenly let out a roar and exerted all his strength.
Yu Daohen was instantly repelled, but as he retreated, he quickly reacted, conjuring the Dikun Hand with one hand, followed by a hand-knife strike.
Shen Fengqing, possessing the skill level of a Black List expert, leaned back, preparing to dodge the incoming hand-knife.
However, Yu Daohen's attack was incredibly fast. Even though Shen Fengqing reacted in time, his cheek was still grazed.
Yu Daohen stabilized himself, feeling that victory was within his grasp.
With his current strength, defeating him was possible!
Reaching this conclusion, Yu Daohen wasted no more words and swung the Kanglong mace to attack again.
Shen Fengqing, too, had reached his conclusion: he was no match for Yu Daohen at this moment.
But it wouldn't be easy for Yu Daohen to capture him.
The two swung their mace and saber, clashing against each other.
In the dead of night.
The glint of their saber and mace illuminated the surroundings, sparks flying.
They exchanged over ten blows within three breaths.
Yu Daohen grew stronger with each exchange, while Shen Fengqing grew weaker.
Yu Daohen knew that using spells was advantageous for him, so he focused on close combat.
Shen Fengqing, having been anticipated by Yu Daohen, was completely at a disadvantage.
Seeing that he couldn't win, Shen Fengqing spoke, "If I want to escape now, you probably can't stop me."
Yu Daohen grinned mockingly, "Oh, really? Then escape. Why are you telling me?"
While he couldn't defeat Shen Fengqing in a short time, given enough time, capturing him wouldn't be difficult.
In other words, killing Shen Fengqing was only a matter of time.
As for Shen Fengqing, he had his reasons for saying those words.
In close combat, the most dangerous thing was to flee.
Once a weakness was exposed by escaping, with Yu Daohen's strength, even if he couldn't kill him in one blow, he could at least severely injure him.
He wanted to create distance, but this guy was like a persistent stain, giving him no opportunity.
Shen Fengqing continued, "I know you consider yourself invincible in this world now, but facing three Black List experts simultaneously, you must be under considerable pressure, right? Not far from here are two more experts with Black List strength."
Three Black List experts?
Yu Daohen's expression flickered, but then he laughed, "You're bluffing!"
The Divine Light Cult was known to have only a few individuals with Black List strength.
Shen Tianming was dead, Li Tiandao was severely injured, so only Huang Yueji could possibly come.
Including Shen Fengqing, that made only two experts with Black List strength.
Shen Fengqing snorted, a meaningful smile appearing on his face, "You can always try!"
Yu Daohen fell silent.
Looking at the man's eyes, he didn't seem like he was lying.
But where would he find three experts with Black List strength?
When did Black List experts become so common?
Shen Fengqing grinned, "I didn't expect you to have such a moment of struggle."
Yu Daohen glared at Shen Fengqing and cursed, "Damn it! I'm always the one playing tricks on others, and today I'm actually being unsettled by your words."
As Yu Daohen pondered, the speed of his attacks slowed.
Shen Fengqing seized this opportunity and swiftly swung his saber.
Yu Daohen retreated, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.
Shen Fengqing didn't press his attack, knowing he couldn't kill Yu Daohen, and smiled, "Have you considered it?"
Yu Daohen stared into Shen Fengqing's eyes and finally relented, "Get lost. I hope I don't regret today's decision."
In a one-on-one fight, Yu Daohen was confident he could defeat any Black List expert in the world. Even a one-on-two fight wouldn't leave him without a chance to escape.
But if it were a one-on-three, he would be at a disadvantage.
Not to mention fighting, even escaping would be precarious.
Seeing Yu Daohen's frustrated expression, Shen Fengqing revealed a playful smile and said, "You won't know if you regret it, it's like going all-in, it will haunt you for life."
"Perhaps by killing me today, you could prevent the destruction of the human world in the future."
Yu Daohen looked at Shen Fengqing and laughed, "Dream on if you think you can plant a heart demon in my mind. My psychological defenses are strong, your verbal attacks can't break through them. Get lost."
Seeing that his psychological attack had failed, Shen Fengqing no longer hesitated and turned to leave, leaving behind a parting remark.
"I hope you don't regret it."
Yu Daohen watched Shen Fengqing's retreating back, grinding his teeth in frustration, but he could only resign himself to it.
This fellow was clearly counting on him not making a move.
After Shen Fengqing had completely departed, Yu Daohen also turned and left, looking up at the sky and sighing.
"Alas, I hope I don't regret the decision I made today."
As he walked back, Yu Daohen's regret grew with every step.
He felt increasingly uneasy.
If he had killed Shen Fengqing directly, it wouldn't necessarily end the disaster in the human world, but it would at least increase their chances of victory by thirty percent.
He shouldn't have let him go.
Yu Daohen was filled with regret, his breathing grew heavy, and his chest felt constricted.
"What is this!"
Yu Daohen's face was filled with astonishment.
He knew his condition all too well.
Years ago, with just his words, he had planted heart demons in countless people.
His current state was precisely the symptom of a heart demon.
"Damn it!"
Yu Daohen cursed loudly and immediately turned to chase after him.
If Shen Fengqing had indeed brought two experts with Black List strength, then he would surely catch up.
But if he had already fled, it meant he had something to hide.
At worst, he would bear this heart demon himself!
Yu Daohen pursued him down the mountain.
He wanted to see if the Divine Light Cult was hiding any other experts.
On the mountainside, three figures were already waiting.
Shen Fengqing walked over, and Huang Yueji immediately cupped his hands in greeting, respectfully addressing him, "My Lord."
