"Yuan Shi Tian Zun?"

Li Xianzong stopped in his tracks and immediately recognized the young man leading the lawful camp as his target.

On the other side, Zhang Yuanqing blurted out, "Li Xianzong?!" It turned out to be Li Xianzong! We matched to the same instance?

What a coincidence.

"Yuan Shi Tian Zun," the middle-aged man with a thin figure raised his voice, "Is it the Yuan Shi Tian Zun from the Songhai branch? The fifth-ranked bounty in the underground black market?"

The other three companions showed astonishment.

"Yes, it's him!" Li Xianzong grinned, "Interesting, you're also in the Yin Yang Town. I was planning to kill you and collect the bounty after finishing this instance. Now, it's even more convenient."

"Oh right, I heard that this guy was almost killed by Li Xianzong a while ago. What a small world," the middle-aged man chuckled.

"A small world?" The man in a suit and leather shoes turned his eyes and deliberately spoke loudly, "This kid is worthy of being Li Xianzong's enemy? He must be on an equal footing with him. But this kid is only fit to kneel and beg for mercy in front of Li Xianzong. You guys from the lawful camp are doomed."

The evil professionals smirked.

The faces of the lawful camp, including Li Xianzong, didn't look good.

Although they knew that the enemy was deliberately trying to demoralize them, it was impossible not to be affected by such a terrifying enemy.

To match with Li Xianzong, who was one of the top criminals on the official bounty list, was not something that even Yuan Shi Tian Zun could handle. Queen Hua's expression changed slightly, and she instinctively glanced at the captain beside her.

Back then, when Li Xianzong carried out a terrifying attack in Songhai and almost killed Yuan Shi Tian Zun, she had participated in the discussion.

Everyone agreed that Yuan Shi Tian Zun was far inferior to Li Xianzong.

But now, he couldn't escape from this "fate." No, it's not just him, I can't guarantee my own safety either.

As a wandering cultivator, I am not very sensitive to external news, but when I heard the name Li Xianzong, I suddenly remembered what the queen said when introducing Yuan Shi Tian Zun.

Is this Li Xianzong the captain's archenemy? And the captain is also his subordinate? The young man's heart trembled.

Except for the Huo De Xing army, who heard the enemy mocking their captain and became furious, everyone else's mood became heavy. At this moment, the mage in the center of both sides looked around and sneered:

"So the hounds of the court have finally found their way here."

Without waiting for a response from the others, he raised his head, and a green gas spewed out like thick smoke, quickly spreading.

The sound of the wind encouraged the green gas to rush towards both sides. "Step back!"

The thin middle-aged man shouted loudly, opened his inventory, and took out a white jade toad. The green gas swarmed into the toad's mouth, and in the blink of an eye, the white jade toad turned deep green.

On the other side, Queen Hua stood in front of her teammates, palms raised as if holding something. With a "splash" sound, the river water turned into an angry dragon, dancing and swallowing the dense green gas like mist.

The water dragon instantly turned light green.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots rang out in the distance. In the moment when the green mist dissipated, the lawful camp launched a surprise attack on the evil camp.

The walkers of the evil camp, who were vigilant and prepared for this, responded calmly, rolling, tilting their heads, or dodging sideways.

In the instant the thin man pounced, he heard a muffled sound from behind, and a deep bullet hole appeared in the earth wall, emitting smoke. "Hey, trying to ambush me from such a distance?"

A disdainful smile appeared on his lips, and another gunshot sounded. But this time, the target was not him, but the deep green toad lying on the side.

The jade toad made of jade instantly exploded, fragments flying everywhere, and the trapped green gas rushed out, covering the area.

The one who fired the gun was not Guan Ya, but Li Chunfeng. His shooting was just a diversion to cover Guan Ya's attack.

Seeing this, the queen immediately stopped dispersing the water dragon, changed her palms from holding to pushing, and let the water dragon turn into a curtain of rain falling on the evil camp shrouded in poisonous gas.

At this moment, the black-robed mage took out a three-foot-long staff from the bag around his waist. The staff was as black as ink, with a black jade the size of an egg embedded at the top.

He raised the staff high and made a solemn and majestic declaration, "Everyone must die!"

The black jade on the top of the staff suddenly lit up, emitting a dark and gloomy light.

Guan Ya, who had aimed her gun at the entrance of the alley, suddenly felt a pain in her heart. Her heart stopped beating, and she squatted down slowly, gasping for breath in pain.

Li Chunfeng was the same.

Zhang Yuanqing, Queen Hua, Li Xianzong, and others on the square all held their hearts, their faces pale.

A curse, a powerful curse.

"This, this is impossible..." the young man with a missing left ear whispered in pain, "The curse of a level 4 saint shouldn't be this powerful."A Level 4 Saint could curse any individual present, but that was a one-on-one curse. A blanket curse shouldn't have such power.

A brilliant golden light erupted, and Zhang Yuanqing, who was half-kneeling, dispelled the curse's influence. He threw the demon-suppressing pestle in his hand and charged at the mage using his Night Travel technique.

The demon-suppressing pestle, radiating golden light, shot towards the mage. With a wave of his staff and a "ding" sound, the mage knocked the pestle away. The dark halo emitted by the black gem immediately dissipated, and the curse vanished.

This was the demon-breaking function of the demon-suppressing pestle taking effect.

Zhang Yuanqing leaped forward, catching the demon-suppressing pestle that was spinning away.

Guan Ya leaned back against the earthen wall, crouching down and raising her long gun barrel. She aimed at the mage and pulled the trigger.

She decisively abandoned her role as an evil slayer because the mage was too powerful. One misstep could lead to a total wipeout. At this moment, it was crucial to prioritize.

"Bang!"

The bullet hit the mage's skull, but it only pierced a shadow.

The mage, holding his staff, appeared a few meters away. His robe had somehow torn open, revealing his two-meter-tall body covered in hard armor. His legs were muscular but not bulky, resembling the hind legs of a locust.

His face had become hideously ugly, like an insect, with a ferocious mouth and two antennae protruding from his forehead. Guan Ya cocked her gun, ejected the shell, and fired again.

The bullet hit another afterimage, and the mage appeared on the other side of the square. His locust-like legs and antennae gave him an unimaginable reaction speed.

The mage finally noticed her, his eyes, black as gemstones, looking her way.

Guan Ya's heart sank. At that moment, she saw Zhang Yuanqing recklessly charging at the mage for her. The mage shifted his gaze to Zhang Yuanqing, but the enemy in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The mage's antennae twitched slightly, sensing the airflow or perhaps sending out some signal. He suddenly bent his knees and lashed out with a fierce kick to the right.

Smack!

A figure was kicked out, it was Zhang Yuanqing with his arms crossed over his chest. He was thrown high into the air, rolling as he landed, his throat tasting sweet.

The mage was about to pursue when he suddenly lowered his head, his cold eyes looking at his lower leg. There was a deep cut there, with thick green fluid flowing out.

He raised his head, pointing his staff at Zhang Yuanqing. The black gem emitted a dark light.

Zhang Yuanqing felt a pain in his leg, his flesh silently splitting open and continuously expanding. Without thinking, he stabbed the demon-suppressing pestle into his thigh.

Golden light bathed his entire body, and the trend of his leg's flesh and blood bursting immediately stopped.

"Be careful, he can use his own injuries as a medium to cast curses." Zhang Yuanqing had just finished speaking when, in his line of sight, the mage, transformed into a bug, dragged out several afterimages, all the way to his front.

His vision reached its peak at this moment, allowing him to see the mage's actions. Without thinking, he rolled to the right.

Bang!

The staff heavily smashed into the ground, shattering the stone bricks.

Just as the mage was about to raise his staff, the Fire Virtue Star Soldier, not far away, swung his arm back and threw a fireball, compressed to its limit, at him.

"Boom!"

The fireball exploded upon hitting the ground, creating a huge crater, and the mage's figure disappeared in the shockwave. Zhang Yuanqing looked up and shouted, "He's coming!"

The Fire Virtue Star Soldier retreated while throwing fireballs, covering the space in front of him.

But the mage's figure moved from left to right, avoiding the fireballs with his speed and closing in on the Fire Virtue Star Soldier. He landed a punch on the burly man's abdomen.

The Fire Virtue Star Soldier's body suddenly curled up, his pupils dilating.

Intense flames engulfed the Fire Virtue Star Soldier, and 60 meters behind the mage, a spark suddenly expanded, transforming into the Fire Master, clutching his abdomen and gasping on his knees.

In just two rounds, the two main forces of the Order camp were in grave danger. "The big boss is tough, should we retreat first?"

The Evil camp, having escaped from the poison gas, watched this scene and couldn't help but gasp.

"No, now that the Order camp is holding on with us, we have a chance to kill him. Once the mage kills these brats, we're probably done for." The young man with a missing ear gave his reason:

"The bug that the mage fused with is a high-level bug, possessing perception, agility, strength, and self-healing abilities. It's hard to imagine how he cultivated such a bug.

"In terms of close combat, none of you enchantresses can match him." Li Xianzong slowly nodded, his expression serious.

"Imperial hounds, today is the day you die." The mage's ferocious mouth opened and closed, spitting out human words.

Suddenly, a red light surged in his pupils, and a cloud of black energy enveloped his head.

The mage clutched his head in pain, letting out a beast-like growl. His sanity quickly faded under the cover of this black energy.

Li Chunfeng, at the entrance of the alley, turned his head to look at the side and saw Skinny eating lotus roots. He was holding a straw doll in his hand, its facial features strikingly similar to the bug-transformed mage.

Opportunity!

The eyes of the participants from both camps lit up.
