"Cat and mouse? You're overestimating yourself."

Xu Fan's expression was incomparably calm at this moment, a stark contrast to his earlier disarray in the bar. His eyes, as they looked at Zhao Chenglong, carried a hint of indifferent coldness.

From beginning to end, Xu Fan never intended to besiege Zhao Chenglong, nor to seize the treasure in Zhao Chenglong's hands. Yet, Zhao Chenglong was relentless in his pursuit of Xu Fan.

Since that's the case, Xu Fan naturally didn't mind eliminating Zhao Chenglong in passing.

"You really have something hidden!"

Zhao Chenglong's eyes lit up, and he stared at Xu Fan with a brighter gaze. Earlier, in the bar, Zhao Chenglong felt as though Xu Fan was going easy on him. During the chase, when Zhao Chenglong saw the group of followers behind him, he finally understood that Xu Fan wasn't deliberately going easy on him but was unwilling to reveal his abilities in front of those people!

In other words, if Zhao Chenglong hadn't been pursuing Xu Fan all the way here, Xu Fan wouldn't have wanted to engage in combat with him!

Once Zhao Chenglong decided to make a move on Xu Fan, it would not only force Xu Fan onto the opposing side but could also attract numerous experts from the Zhao Family! Under siege, even with his confidence in his abilities, Zhao Chenglong might not be able to escape!

Despite understanding this, Zhao Chenglong still had no intention of letting Xu Fan go.

The threat of death didn't matter much to someone who often hovered near the edge of death. When Zhao Chenglong saw Xu Fan and others disembarking from the helicopter, he made up his mind to attack actively! He must kill at least one person to be able to return!

Actually, Zhao Chenglong understood his situation. The entire West City was surrounded by the Zhao Family's experts, forming an ironclad encirclement. With the shrinking of the encirclement, or just by dispatching a strong Zhiwei Realm fighter from the base, Zhao Chenglong would be doomed for sure!

If he's going to die anyway, why not go crazy one last time before dying?

At this moment, Zhao Chenglong looked at Xu Fan and spoke with an exceedingly calm voice, "Among those in the Entering Dao Realm, you are the strongest existence I've seen. I admit you have great potential. If you were to grow to my age, even with my Spiritual Snake, I certainly wouldn't be able to match you."

"However, in this world, ultimately, it comes down to strength!"

At this point, Zhao Chenglong asked Xu Fan earnestly, "Xu Fan, do you know why I am relentlessly pursuing you today?"

This was also the question Xu Fan had always wanted to ask Zhao Chenglong.

Xu Fan and Zhao Chenglong had no enmity between them, and Xu Fan even bought Zhao Chenglong a drink. Yet, Zhao Chenglong suddenly attacked Xu Fan and chased him from the bar all the way to the forest on the outskirts.

Bear in mind, Zhao Chenglong was now a wanted man by the Zhao Family, a castaway Buddha crossing the river, with the constant danger of annihilation, yet he chose not to flee for his life but doggedly pursued Xu Fan as if there was an unending personal vendetta between them.

This was also one of the reasons why Xu Fan hadn't struck Zhao Chenglong down.

"Why?"

Zhao Chenglong looked intently at Xu Fan and spoke calmly, "The reason I'm attacking you is actually very simple. I am already doomed to die. Even if I hide everywhere, as the Zhao family narrows the encirclement, I am ultimately unlikely to escape death."

"I can't decide my life and death, but I can decide the way I die, or rather, I can choose who I die at the hands of."

Hearing Zhao Chenglong's words, Xu Fan had a bad premonition.

No wonder this Zhao Chenglong kept pursuing him, even risking exposing his position, it turned out Zhao Chenglong had a death wish!

Moreover, from Zhao Chenglong's words, it seemed he wanted to die at Xu Fan's hands.

Thinking of this, Xu Fan felt a headache. Xu Fan clearly didn't want to court trouble or get involved with Zhao Chenglong at all, but Zhao Chenglong was somehow able to find him among the vast crowd and pursue him relentlessly, determined to die at his hands.

This feeling could only be described with two words... it's a real pain!

"I've already said, I'm not from the Hidden World Families. Why, when you dislike the people from Hidden World Families, would you choose to go against me, a junior at the Entering Dao Realm Peak?"

"If you want to die, why not find someone stronger for an easier death?"

Zhao Chenglong shook his head at this moment, his eyes particularly bright as he stared at Xu Fan, "Xu Fan, don't you understand? I hope to die with dignity, rather than falling into their hands and suffering humiliation!"

"As for what you said about Entering Dao Realm Peak, it might deceive others, but it won't deceive me. If I'm not mistaken, you've been holding back your strength, right? Even when facing my Spiritual Snake, you never showed panic."

To prevent Mr. Xie from becoming suspicious of him, Xu Fan not only fled all the way but also purposely appeared incredibly miserable. He barely managed to fool Mr. Xie, but now Zhao Chenglong had seen through him.

"If you were only at the level of Entering Dao Realm Peak, how could you have come here to join the siege against me?"

After Zhao Chenglong's analysis, Xu Fan suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were somewhat naive.

What kind of person is Mr. Xie? Not only is he a super-expert in the Zhiwei Realm, but he is also quite advanced in age, so his mind is definitely intricate. If even Zhao Chenglong could see what was going on, how could Mr. Xie not see through it?

The poorer Xu Fan performed, the warier Mr. Xie would become, and he might even grow suspicious.

After all, a genius who could comprehend a Mysterious Rank Battle Technique in an hour, and a monster who could defeat a Zhiwei Realm expert while still at the Entering Dao Realm level, behaving so poorly in front of Zhao Chenglong, who was at the Spirit Grade Vajra Realm Peak, clearly indicated there was some hidden agenda.

Zhao Chenglong was gently stroking his coldly gleaming Spiritual Snake while speaking to Xu Fan, "In you, I see the shadow of myself from back then. No! You are far superior to what I used to be!"

"However, with the level you've shown, you are far from meeting my requirements! Show your true strength and fight me openly and honorably! This is the only request and wish of a man destined to die!"

Xu Fan no longer deferred at this point and nodded lightly at Zhao Chenglong, "Alright."

Xu Fan admired Zhao Chenglong to some extent, and now that Zhao Chenglong had laid all this out, Xu Fan couldn't refuse.

Both stood firm, fierce whirlwinds howled and roared, making the entire forest rustle loudly.
