Tong Xin made a peace sign and said in a lighthearted tone, "This is my secret, I can't tell you."

Zhang Hao didn't say anything more.

Tong Xin floated over, took his hand, and walked side by side like good friends: "Alright, we should go and set up an ambush in advance. After all, we need to wait for them to be exhausted. If we're not prepared, we won't be the ones to reap the benefits."

The two drifted into an abandoned, unfinished building.

It was almost dawn, but the sun hadn't fully risen yet, leaving half the building in light and half in shadow. The atmosphere emanating from inside the building was even more somber and oppressive.

It was as if this area had never been touched by light.

They slipped in silently.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the dead of night.

Zhuge Guang arrived here, carefully concealing his presence, and silently made his way to the twelfth floor of the building.

On the balcony, a man dressed in black with white hair squatted on the concrete railing, lit a cigarette, and quietly gazed at the moon that was about to disappear completely in the sky.

He took a drag, exhaled a wisp of smoke, and said without turning his head, "Since we've decided to take action, why bother hiding anymore?"

Zhuge Guangling was startled, thinking he had been exposed. But then a woman in a pink dress suddenly appeared out of thin air, holding a large golden bow, and fired three arrows at the man in black!
Three arrows flew out, all heading straight for the opponent's heart.

But the man was not afraid at all. He laughed and said, "You think you can hunt me down just because you've figured out my weaknesses?"

The woman in pink snorted coldly, leaped backward to avoid the opponent's attack, and once again drew her bow in mid-air, firing a powerful arrow at the opponent!
Suddenly, the golden bow trembled, and the phantom of a dragon appeared around the arrow. The dragon roared and charged forward, trying to devour the black-clad man's heart completely.

The man in black gave a cold laugh, and a huge demonic phantom suddenly appeared behind him!

The demonic phantom grinned menacingly and slapped down at the incoming golden arrow!
The golden arrow instantly turned to dust, and even the pink-clad woman who had launched the sneak attack was smashed into a pulp!

The scene was extremely gruesome; the soul of the woman in pink who floated out was swallowed whole by the man in black.

After chewing a few times and swallowing, the man in black sat back down in disgust, muttering, "She looks like a young woman, so I thought her soul would taste better, but it's just as awful! Sure enough, all those who become modern are lunatics; even their souls have tainted with a stench."

Zhang Hao frowned slightly after hearing this, but ultimately said nothing.

Picked up with a stench? Can the soul really become stinky?
He silently noted down this characteristic.

Completely unaware that someone was behind him, Zhuge Guangling was hesitating whether to make a move.

The woman who was so powerful was taken care of so easily. Even if I were to launch a sneak attack, I probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

Fear overwhelmed his eagerness to become stronger at that moment, and he felt it was best to retreat first.

Otherwise, if you fail to hunt and instead become the prey, you will truly die a very unjust death.

The man took out another cigarette, then pulled out a vintage metal lighter and lit it gently.

He took a drag and muttered to himself, staring at the moon that was almost completely disappearing. "Damn, my heart really hurts! That woman really did hurt me..."

He clutched his heart as he spoke, as if he had truly been hurt.

Zhuge Guang, who had originally planned to retreat, stopped in his tracks.

He secretly observed the man in black.

The man in black was indeed a little unsteady on his feet!

But a strong person is still a strong person. Even if he is injured, I may not be able to deal with him.

Zhuge Guangling thought it best to leave first, but the other party spoke again, making him stop thinking about leaving.

"Luckily, there's no one else here. If someone else had attacked my heart, I really wouldn't have been able to hold on! In my current state, even a newbie from the new school could easily take me down... Damn it, I should have known better than to have this ability with such strong side effects! Even if I become the strongest, my weaknesses are too obvious. I really regret it!"

The man in black muttered angrily to himself in the moonlight.

So this guy was already this weak!
Zhuge Guangling felt his opportunity had come. He gripped a sharp dagger he had secretly drawn and silently approached the man in black.

My stealth skills are getting better and better! I'm so close, and that guy still hasn't noticed me!
As expected, illusions can make the other party lower their guard and unknowingly ignore the dangers around them.

Zhuge Guang ordered his eyes to be aimed at the opponent's heart, intending to pierce the heart in his chest cavity from behind.

However, just as he was about to stab him, the man in black suddenly turned around and easily grabbed the dagger in his hand!
With a slight exertion, the sharp dagger instantly turned into a pile of powder in the man's hand!
"As expected, a few words were enough to entice you out. The new generation of people are all greedy lunatics, and you are no exception."

The man's smile was full of mockery. The moon in the sky disappeared completely, and the originally dim surroundings turned into the pitch blackness that should be present in the dead of night.

Zhuge Guangling then realized that he had fallen into the opponent's illusion!
I clearly arrived at midnight, so the sky should have been completely dark, not the hazy light I had seen before, which was close to dawn.

How could I have overlooked such an obvious flaw?

Was I subconsciously influenced by the other person?
The man chuckled, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up: "Another greedy and irrational one. Why do you all love getting stronger so much?"

With his neck being grabbed and lifted, the air in his chest was gradually depleted, and a feeling of suffocation spread throughout his body. Zhuge Guangling felt that he was about to die.

No, no, how can I die here? I haven't become the strongest yet, I absolutely cannot die so easily!
Driven by this intense obsession, just as his opponent was about to snap his neck, he unleashed all his spiritual yin energy to activate an illusion!
In just half a second of confusion, a knife pierced the black-clad man's heart.

A sharp pain shot through his heart, and blood spurted out, staining his vision red; all he could see was red.

Zhuge Guangling opened his eyes wide, met the other's gaze, and said with his eyes closed, "If I die, you will die with me..."

The moment the illusion was activated, he used all his Yin energy, and the explosive force sent the man in black flying!
A sharp pain shot through his eyes. The man in black covered his eyes and chuckled softly.

He stood up from the ground with his eyes closed, calmly covering his eyes, and walked step by step toward the corpse. (End of Chapter)
