"I have no reason to kill you. Besides, you helped before, so why would I?" Lin Kuang countered, looking at Gongsun Zhan.
"I helped you because I want a strong opponent. I enjoy fighting powerful people," Gongsun Zhan said expressionlessly.
"And I didn’t kill you so I could keep an opponent for myself. We can fight again when you’re stronger," Lin Kuang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhan frowned, seeming to have trouble accepting this reason.
"Alright, the fight’s over. We’re still young; there will always be another chance to battle." Seeing Gongsun Zhan’s frown, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but add.
"Fine," Gongsun Zhan finally said, his tone as cold as ever. "Next ti we fight, if you lose, I will spare you once."
Lin Kuang just shook his head and smiled. "Next ti, you might not win."
"I will definitely win," Gongsun Zhan retorted, his tone stubborn.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang fell silent. Faced with such a stubborn man, there was nothing more to say. He had won and reached a new level of strength. This was a joyous occasion for him, and he had no interest in anything else.
"Let’s leave it at that. I’ll be going now. We’ll fight again when we get the chance," Lin Kuang said, turning to leave.
However, at that very mont, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. This isn’t over yet," the newcor said with a smile.
Lin Kuang imdiately dodged to the side, staring warily at the person before him. When he got a clear look at the man, his heart lurched, and he blurted out, "Naless Elder!"
Indeed, the newcor was the Naless Elder.
"What do you want?" Lin Kuang asked cautiously. He had always felt there was sothing off about this Naless Elder, though he couldn’t quite articulate why. Now that the man had appeared again, Lin Kuang was instantly on high alert.
"Nothing much. I was just here to watch the fight, but your performance was a bit disappointing," the Naless Elder said with a smile.
Although he appeared normal, Lin Kuang felt that sothing was deeply wrong, almost eerie.
"The fight is over. There’s nothing more to watch," Lin Kuang said with a frown, his gaze vigilant.
"Yes, your fight is over. But neither of you killed the other, which is truly a pity," the Naless Elder said with a helpless sigh.
"What do you an?" Lin Kuang demanded, holding the Naless Sword horizontally across his chest. A bad premonition began to form in his mind. If the Naless Elder were to attack them, Lin Kuang doubted they would stand a chance of survival.
"It ans nothing, really. Since neither of you died, I suppose I’ll have to kill you both," the Naless Elder said, sighing as if he truly didn’t want to get his hands dirty.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang’s expression changed, his gaze growing even more wary. "Why? Why do you want to kill us?" he asked, completely bewildered. He couldn’t understand it at all.
"Why? For the Naless Sword and the Slash Path, of course. Otherwise, I couldn’t be bothered to deal with you," the Naless Elder said with a laugh, seeming to be in no hurry to attack.
"If that’s the case, why did you give the Naless Sword in the first place? Wouldn’t it have been better to keep it for yourself?" Lin Kuang pressed, his confusion deepening.
"That wasn’t my doing. That was the work of that Naless Elder fellow, and it has nothing to do with ," the man said with a smile.
Lin Kuang was stunned. "You an you’re not the Naless Elder?!"
"Of course not. It was rely a simple Face-Changing Technique. And the person you t last ti at West Lake wasn’t the Naless Elder either, because I’ve already killed the real one," the fake Naless Elder said with a laugh.
"Then why didn’t you just kill back then and take the Naless Sword?" Lin Kuang asked with a frown.
"There was no need. Gongsun Zhan was coming, and once I leaked that information to you, I knew you’d wait for him. When you both arrived, it beca much easier for to act against you two at once. Besides, if I had taken the Naless Sword and tipped everyone off, what then?" the impostor said with a smirk.
"Then who are you?" Lin Kuang asked again. His mind was racing to understand the man’s identity.
"Who am I? You wouldn’t know even if I told you. You can call Lord Left Envoy."
"Left Envoy? Is that your na?" Lin Kuang asked, finding the na rather strange.
"Of course not. It’s rely my title. You can also call the Left Envoy," the man replied.
"Left Envoy? So it seems you’re determined to kill us today?" Lin Kuang asked again.
"Of course. Actually, if you were willing to join us, I’d rather not kill you. After all, among the younger generation, your skills are second only to the disciples of those ancient families. But I know you won’t join us," the Left Envoy said with a sigh of feigned regret.
"How do you know we’re not willing? We’d do anything to survive. What organization do you belong to?" Lin Kuang asked, his face grim.
"Heh, kid, don’t play dumb with . I know you won’t join. I’ve road the secular world for many years; your little tricks are transparent to ," the Left Envoy said with a laugh.
At this, Lin Kuang’s expression turned incredibly grim.
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re from the Demon Sect, aren’t you?" At this, Gongsun Zhan, who had been silent all this ti, finally spoke, his words hitting the mark.
The Left Envoy’s expression flickered, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Tsk, tsk. As expected of soone from the Gongsun Family, you actually saw through . How interesting. That’s right. I am from the Demon Sect—one of its two Envoys, the Left Envoy."
Hearing him admit it, Gongsun Zhan’s cold face instantly beca twisted with rage. "So it really is you bastards! All of you deserve to die!" he spat, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.
"Tsk, tsk. Why should we die? Wasn’t it you self-proclaid heroes who slaughtered us under the banner of justice? Don’t you think those people deserved to die?" the Left Envoy sneered, his own killing intent now on full display.
"Hmph! You use infants and the Yuan Yin of young virgins to cultivate your martial arts. Countless children and young won have been maid and killed by you! How are you any different from beasts? If people like you aren’t put to death, where is the justice in this world?!" Gongsun Zhan retorted, his voice cold and furious, his entire body trembling.
