CLANG!

Chen Zheng swung his long sword, his gaze settling on Teluos. "That's right," he said indifferently. "No matter what, you will answer for the members of the Night Watch Army killed at the foot of Mount As. Starting today, your name, ranked number two on the Heaven's List, will vanish from it forever!"

"Cross Slash!" he bellowed, swinging his long sword.

WHOOSH!

In the next moment, Chen Zheng made his move. His figure was like a flash of lightning, appearing instantaneously before Teluos, and the two immediately engaged in fierce combat.

「At the Night Watch Army's base.」

Wang Hong and Zhuo Ming were both present. Wang Hong looked at Zhuo Ming with a puzzled expression. "Have you been getting weaker?"

"Mm," Zhuo Ming grunted in reply, then turned to Yun Ruoyan. "Have Qiu'er come over, too."

Wang Hong nodded and then left with Gu Ning.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Zhuo Ming pressed the answer button, and a slightly hoarse voice came through the receiver. "The Professor says his tests indicate a purple light will appear within the next ten days. The golden spirit of Mount As will open a path for them! The Sharp Ghost army is coming."

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

At that moment, the duels between Chen Zheng and Teluos, and Ming Chong and Mr. Mo, kicked up a storm of dust that filled the sky.

Over at the docks, more than a hundred people had rushed out. They watched the scene unfold in horror, but none could intervene. A moment ago, a top-tier expert had charged forward to help Teluos, but the instant he got close, he was killed on the spot by the shockwaves from their clash.

Half-step Flame Decay, second on the Heaven's List!

These two were simply inhuman.

"Chen Zheng, you've gone too far!" Teluos roared angrily, spitting out blood.

Chen Zheng let out a cold laugh. "I told you, you die today! Rainfall!"

Like a downpour, his sword descended, one strike after another.

"Ah!" Teluos let out a bloodcurdling scream, his entire body drenched in his own blood.

In this place, he was an overlord. He had presided over this territory for over a hundred years. He had never been so thoroughly humiliated.

As Chen Zheng drew closer, his eyes turned crimson. With a roar, he pulled out an elixir and swallowed it. The next moment, his clothes burst apart, revealing muscular arms as the True Qi within him surged uncontrollably.

"Chen Zheng, if you're going to kill me, I'm dragging you down with me!" Teluos roared furiously.

Chen Zheng was speechless. This was a trait unique to the Red Lotus—a final, desperate surge of power, like a dying tide. It was the same kind of elixir He Tianlan had become known for consuming, and now that Teluos had taken it, his power was surging.

The elixir Teluos ingested was far more potent than the one He Tianlan had taken.

His eyes blazing red, Teluos glared at Chen Zheng. "Chen Zheng, if you insist on wiping me out, then I'll make sure you don't even have a grave! Take my fist!"

WHOOSH!

His figure flashed, appearing right in front of Chen Zheng as his long sword thrust forward.

"Wave Stacking!" Chen Zheng shouted, soaring into the air and slashing down with his sword.

BOOM!

At this moment, both their auras peaked. Their long swords collided, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that sent Ming Chong and Mr. Mo, the two closest to the blast, flying backward.

"What!" Ming Chong was completely stunned by the scene.

"Teluos..." Mr. Mo sighed.

Although he also possessed such an elixir, he knew there was a huge gap between him and Teluos. Teluos could harness the pill's power to fight at his absolute peak, even as it pushed him toward certain death. If Mr. Mo took it, the most he could do was approach Teluos's current level.

He was well aware of the elixir's aftereffects. Unlike He Tianlan's version, taking this one meant certain death. That was why he had never even considered touching it; it was a guaranteed death sentence.

His gaze fell on the speedboat. He planned to slip away quietly while Teluos and Chen Zheng were locked in their life-and-death struggle.

"Are you planning to leave after this fight?" Ming Chong asked calmly. "You won't succeed."

Indeed, Mr. Mo's power was on the same level as the Red-haired Demon, similar to Denps, which was a far cry from Ming Chong's strength. Clearly, Ming Chong would never allow him to escape.

These two were the current leaders of the Red Lotus. If they died, and with the founder Granny Luan still around, it was possible the other members from the Red Lotus Realm could be convinced to join their side. Granny Luan and Red Rose had already come to some sort of agreement with Zhuo Ming when they arrived.

"Two slashes!"

"Three slashes!"

Chen Zheng, however, continued his assault, unleashing one slash after another. After taking the elixir, Teluos's strength had nearly reached Chen Zheng's, but it still wasn't quite enough. The current Chen Zheng was undoubtedly the strongest person on Earth, second only to Zhuo Ming. As for Zhuo Ming, his true strength remained a mystery to all.

The two fighters traded blows, throwing the entire dock into chaos. The turbulent True Qi whipped the surrounding water into the air, creating a spray that resembled Chen Zheng's sword attacks.

"Four slashes!"

"Five slashes!"

...

Chen Zheng's attacks grew increasingly fierce. Teluos, at this point, seemed like a mindless machine, fearlessly throwing himself at Chen Zheng without any regard for his own life.

PFFT!

It wasn't until Chen Zheng's ninth slash that Teluos barely managed to block the strike, spewing a jet of blood from his mouth.

CRACK!

The sword in his hand snapped in two.

Teluos was blasted backward, crashing heavily onto the ground and carving out a massive crater. Blood continued to pour from his mouth.

Chen Zheng landed in the crater as well. He looked down at Teluos, a cold smile touching his lips. "It's over!"

"Chen Zheng... Chen..." Teluos murmured while coughing up blood. "I never imagined you could grow this strong so quickly."

"When you get to the other side, apologize to the Night Watchmen who died at Mount As," Chen Zheng said indifferently, holding his Nameless Blade aloft. "The Nameless Blade does not kill nameless foes."

Teluos continued to vomit blood, but he seemed to have already accepted his death. His expression suddenly twisted into a grimace, and even his smile carried an eerie, sinister quality.

"Chen Zheng, you will regret your choice. You... you have no idea how powerful the Sharp Ghost truly are. I can feel it... the gods are about to arrive. The next arrival will be to the Purple Gold Land, and you will have no hope. It's because Night Watchmen like you have no idea how many will have to die in your resistance!"

As he finished speaking, his voice returned to normal, as if it were his final struggle.
