"It's very simple, two choices: either kill and escape, or now you can't do anything to , I can't do anything to you, and you slip away on your own silently." Pei Yan laughed, switching topics with a sarcastic turn: "But you can do neither of these. Oh! Sorry, I shouldn't say it like that, I should say you think you can kill but at a huge cost, and after killing , you won't have the ability to escape from my companions, right?"

After finishing this, seeing the other party silent for a long ti, Pei Yan continued: "As for why you don't just run away, if I'm not mistaken, your spatial magic doesn't allow you to teleport long distances, but is instead limited to a certain range around your body. Once you exceed this distance, you'll lose the ability to traverse parallel spaces at will, correct?"

When these words were said, the scene plunged into a deathly silence once again. After a while, Li Songtao, whose card was exposed, let out a bitter laugh and said: "Indeed, you have such a penetrating insight to quickly see through the mysteries of my technique. Yes, as you said, I've lost my way out. At this point, let ask you one last question."

"No need to ask, today you won't be slipping from my hands alive." Pei Yan, expecting what the other wanted to ask, directly retorted.

Li Songtao, hidden in the dark, was stunned upon hearing this and then beca enraged: "Are you so confident that you can survive my moves? We each take a step back, give a way out, this is the right way. Must we fight to the complete ruin of both?"

"Exactly!" Pei Yan said decisively: "If it were anyone else, like the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master who fought that day, or the people of Celestial Sword Manor, I would accept this suggestion! But you, haha," Pei Yan let out a cold laugh: "No way! After many years, you still hold a grudge, imdiately seeking revenge the mont you got wind of us, not even waiting a day. With your deeply ingrained hatred and elusive abilities, how can I let you slip away from again? Besides, Li Songtao, let tell you, I hold grudges just like you! A gentleman's revenge takes ten years, but I am no gentleman, I am a petty man who avenges from dawn to dusk, this grudge must be repaid today!"

"Hahaha!" Li Songtao's wild laughter echoed through the air, followed by a loud cry: "Alright! Well said! Indeed, I was too timid and lacked confidence, Since you're bent on dying, don't bla for being ruthless. Pei Yan, rember what you just said, don't regret it!"

"Cut the nonsense, show what you've got!"

With that, the two said no more. Pei Yan, fully focused, concentrated all his energy to observe the changes in the surrounding environnt. Monts later, Pei Yan's face changed dramatically. He quickly looked back and shouted angrily: "Despicable scoundrel, how dare you! All thods are possible, Thunder Magic!"

Before the words even fell, Pei Yan's figure had transford into a bolt of lightning rushing towards his companion. At this mont, Li Songtao's figure just erged from the void, having changed his appearance once again. His body remained lean and wiry, but his head had grown twice as large as before. The most terrifying part was his mouth, which was opened at an angle far beyond human limits, almost splitting to his earlobe. Inside his mouth, a mass of vile, chilling bitter energy had condensed by half, ready to be launched, with its target being the sixth and seventh-rank awakened agents in the investigation team.

Li Songtao knew well that his all-consuming spiritual power move might not accurately hit Pei Yan. Even if it did, it might not kill him, and when his spiritual energy ran dry, he would truly be a knife wielded by n, being nothing more than at on the chopping block. Instead, he opted to ambush those agents weaker than him. Killing them would ensure that Pei Yan would forever harbor hatred. Even if a few survived severely injured, in their chaotic scramble to save their own, he might just escape alive in the confusion.

With such a thought, the mont Li Songtao exited the parallel space, he targeted the investigation team's female mbers. He had earlier heard Shitang Longsi ntion that Pei Yan's sister was among them. Killing her would be the best outco!

Just as Li Songtao was about to successfully gather his energy, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his internal organs. The anger and despair that had condensed at this critical mont imdiately lost focus. Multiple forces inside him spiraled out of control. Realizing this wasn't good, Li Songtao could no longer regain control. Just as he was about to lose, he summoned whatever power remained to forcibly eject his resentnt.

Yet, in that brief pause, Pei Yan, as a flash of lightning, reached him, delivering a kick to his chin. Li Songtao had no ti to cry out, his head flipping upwards as the resentnt in his mouth released towards the sky. Letting out a muffled groan, he then plumted straight toward the ground, headfirst.

Pei Yan dismissed the falling Li Songtao, looking up at the mass of resentnt ejected from his mouth. As it exited, Pei Yan's soul wavered, his ears filled with the relentless wail of ghosts and wolves. Seeing the mass rushing skyward, missing its target, Pei Yan knew once it exhausted its power, it would spread and explode on its own. The vile resentnt within might be manageable for cultivators, but the surrounding civilians would be dood. At best, they would suffer endless nightmares, and at worst, their souls terrified to madness.

With this in mind, Pei Yan was about to use flas to completely burn away the resentnt when he heard a beautiful lody from the sky. Following that, a voice like silver bells addressed him from afar, "Young Master Pei, don't worry, we will handle this resentnt. You focus on capturing the villain!"

Surprised at first, Pei Yan quickly understood that the people from the Immortal Palace had arrived. He looked again at the mass of resentnt, which was confined by an invisible force, struggling to escape. Gradually calming down with musical and chanting accompanint, it began exuding an aura of sorrow and lancholy.

Watching it for too long, Pei Yan found his own mind unsettled. Seeing others taking care of it, he let it be, descending to the courtyard below. By this ti, much of the floodwater had receded, leaving him standing in ankle-deep puddles. Looking at Li Songtao nearby, Pei Yan expressed his disdain: "Still alive?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" In response to Pei Yan's question ca Li Songtao's series of bloody coughs. The grotesque, monstrous face vanished as the cultivation technique dissipated, restoring his feature to a normal human face. But his body remained emaciated and frail, lying there, inhaling sharp, laborious breaths, Pei Yan worried that before he could get answers, Li Songtao would die on him.

Realizing this, Pei Yan had no choice but to turn to Elder Lin for help: "Elder Lin, see if he can survive. If he can be saved, let him live a few more days. I have many questions for him!"
