"This speed is indeed much better than that incompetent disciple of his!"

As the sudden outburst occurred, Xiaobei made a judgment...

At the same time, Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

Of course, although surprised, Xiaobei remained composed because he had immense confidence in his own strength, believing he could withstand such a fierce and terrifying offensive...

With such confidence, Xiaobei smiled, clenched his fists, and rushed forward swiftly...

The best defense is a strong offense!

Xiaobei understood this principle very well.

So from the very start, Xiaobei wasn't planning to defend but intended to charge forward fiercely...

"It seems he really is extraordinary!"

Seeing Xiaobei choosing to charge, Hei Ze squinted slightly...

He couldn't help feeling a bit frustrated...

Earlier, he believed his terrifying attack would cause Xiaobei to panic, so Xiaobei would definitely retreat...

If he retreated just a little, Hei Ze would have stronger backup support...

Simply put, if Xiaobei took a step back, he would fall into an abyss of no return...

However, he chose to attack, making all of Hei Ze's plans unusable...

Thus, he felt utterly frustrated, to the point of spitting blood...

...

"Bang!"

Like Mars colliding with Earth, the two clashed in the air multiple times.

After another fierce collision, they quickly separated...

By now, they had a deeper understanding of each other's strength.

Looking at Xiaobei, Hei Ze took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to have such courage! You weren't even scared just now!"

Detecting a hint of frustration, Xiaobei laughed, "Disappointed, huh? Unable to use the backup plans you prepared, right?"

Hearing Xiaobei's inquiry, Hei Ze candidly admitted, "Indeed! I couldn't use any of the backup plans I prepared! Just now, if you had chosen to retreat, I had countless ways to kill you!"

"So, are you disappointed?"

"Not at all, in fact, I'm somewhat delighted!"

At this point, Hei Ze changed the topic, suddenly asking a seemingly unrelated question, "Xiaobei, do you know why I took on a disciple?"

"I don't know, nor am I interested in knowing!"

Thinking of the disgusting Hei Lin, Xiaobei frowned directly...

Generally, Xiaobei doesn't feel hate, but towards Hei Lin, he truly feels hatred...

So hearing that name now nauseated Xiaobei.

Hei Ze, who had expected Xiaobei's answer, smiled calmly, saying, "I figured you wouldn't be interested, but I still want to talk about this topic! The reason I took on a disciple is actually because I felt lonely. In my youth, I used to execute tasks frantically, seeking challenges, but later, I gave up. Partly because I was tired, and partly because no opponent was worth my seriousness."

"What's your point in telling me this?"

"I just want to tell you that I wasn't serious just now, so now you can completely despair!"

Laughing, Hei Ze dashed crazily towards Xiaobei again...

As he charged again, far from here in a cave, a deep black, half-human-tall black beetle opened its eyes quickly...

Afterwards, it lifted its head, looking around anxiously...

Its tiny eyes glowed with absolute excitement...

Soon, the excitement in its eyes dissipated...

With a silent sigh, it closed its eyes again, falling back into slumber, unmoving...

...

Neither Xiaobei nor Hei Ze knew about this situation...

Now, they were truly frenzied...

Both didn't hold back any longer.

As a result, every collision between them was extremely terrifying...

If anyone else was around, they would have been affected by the aftermath long ago.

"Impressive, Xiaobei, I really have to admit, you are impressive!"

After another clash, Hei Ze quickly stepped back, speaking in a low tone...

At this point, he completely acknowledged Xiaobei's strength, because even when he got serious, he couldn't bring Xiaobei down in a short time...

Hearing his praise, Xiaobei squinted...

"You're not bad either!"

As Xiaobei spoke, he took a deep breath...

Each clash just now had Xiaobei enduring a terrifying backlash, and thus, he truly felt uncomfortable.

...

At this moment, Xiaobei's expression was somewhat solemn because Xiaobei sensed that Hei Ze hadn't given his all...

This judgment stemmed from Xiaobei knowing that Hei Ze was skilled with insects, yet he hadn't summoned them yet...

Seeing Xiaobei's solemn gaze, Hei Ze easily guessed Xiaobei's thoughts.

At that moment, he said calmly, "To be honest, your strength has earned my recognition. If it weren't for you killing my precious disciple, I really wouldn't kill you! But now it's too late, so I advise you to kneel and repent for your sins! If you truly repent, I might consider giving you an intact corpse."

Pausing slightly here, Hei Ze continued hoarsely, "If I actually summon my insect, you'll surely die miserably!"

While saying this, Hei Ze presented a confident posture!

In truth, he was unsure!

Hei Ze had absolute confidence in his Gu Insect, but at this moment, he dared not summon it easily as its state seemed unsteady...

This Gu Insect that filled Hei Ze with confidence was one he had just subdued.

To subdue this Gu Insect, Hei Ze truly expended much effort...

He thought he would never succeed because its power was indeed formidable...

But in the end, he succeeded by sheer luck...

This lucky success delighted Hei Ze immensely.

Knowing he had it meant his power increased countless times...

This mighty black Gu Insect had always been obedient within Hei Ze.

But now, he was somewhat anxious.

Because the Gu Insect he subdued began to stir, growing increasingly restless, seemingly on the verge of breaking free!

This realization startled Hei Ze, so naturally, he dared not summon it lightly.

For being countered would mean all previous efforts would be in vain...

After hearing his threat, Xiaobei squinted noncommittally, speaking faintly, "I really want to see your insect, summon it now!"

Understanding that once a decision is made, Xiaobei, more than anyone, understood this principle...

Precisely because he understood, Xiaobei at this moment had no intention of giving up; instead, intent on resisting to the end...

"So you're really planning to fight to the death with me?"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's request, Hei Ze's eye twitched, speaking in a low tone.

Hearing Hei Ze's meaningless nonsense, Xiaobei laughed, "Are you joking? Were you planning on sparing me before?"

"Fine! Fine! Fine! Since you wish to be torn to pieces, I'll grant you that wish. Hope you don't wet your pants later."

Speaking thus, he quickly took a deep breath, preparing to summon the subdued Gu Insect.

Honestly, if there were other choices, he wouldn't summon that unruly Gu Insect...

But now, there truly were no other options...

Because their strengths were evenly matched, without the involvement of a Gu Insect, determining a winner would take a very long time...

Ultimately, they might never reach a conclusion!

...

Unacceptable!

Hei Ze couldn't accept this fact, so he prepared to resolve everything by summoning the recently subdued Gu Insect...

In his view, using just a little bit of time, even if it hadn't been fully controlled, wouldn't result in serious issues...

After all, it was nearly completely tamed before...

"Why haven't you summoned it yet, could there be a problem?"

Seeing Hei Ze's less than ideal expression, Xiaobei teased softly...

Previously, Xiaobei never suspected him of bluffing...

Yet now, Xiaobei had such suspicions.

Watching Hei Ze's reaction betrayed Hei Ze's inner turmoil, his eye twitched, responding coldly, "A problem? Ridiculous! My Gu Insect is completely subdued, so there's no issue whatsoever. The reason I haven't summoned it is to let you live a little longer, but since you don't value it, I won't spare your dignity."

Having said that, Hei Ze quickly chanted, and soon, a pitch-black array appeared before him...

The next second, terrifying energy strands emanated from it, spreading rapidly, enveloping a radius of dozens of meters around instantly...
