Half a month later, in Shangzhou City, five hundred miles away from Four Corner City.
Ye Tianze slowly walked out of the city with a saber in his hand. The blood on the saber dripped onto the ground. The blood was still warm.
People watched him enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate. Although there was blood on the saber, there was not a single trace of blood on his body.
This was the fifteenth Acheron's stronghold he had destroyed. Along the way, Ye Tianze killed every city he came across and hung the heads of Acheron's assassins on the city walls.
"Five hundred miles to go. There are three more cities ahead," Ye Tianze said.
"I know you … You're Li Yubai!" Someone shouted. "There's a portrait of you in the city. How dare you go against the Baiye Cult? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down?"
Ye Tianze turned his head and looked at him. "Hunted down? No, I'm the one hunting them down this time. "
Everyone was speechless. They looked at him as if he was a disaster. Someone said, "You've offended Acheron. When night falls, you'll go to the eighteenth level of hell."
"If I don't go to hell, who will?" Ye Tianze said with a smile. "Dare I ask, are you people from the Baiye Cult?"
"No … No." Everyone shook their heads.
Previously, in the city, there were a few disciples from the Baiye Cult who acted arrogantly and had their heads chopped off by Ye Tianze. Their heads were still hanging on the city walls.
"Demon, you're really a demon." Someone said softly. "You'll get retribution for killing people like this."
"You sure know how to joke."
Ye Tianze said. "Go tell the Baiye Cult and Acheron that I, Li Yubai, will head east. I'll pass by Xuanzhou City, Fuhu City, and finally Four Corner City. They can send assassins after me. If I take a wrong turn, I'll change my surname to theirs!"
After Ye Tianze left, no one dared to take the heads off the city walls.
Night fell. Ye Tianze walked for two hundred miles. Then, he suddenly stopped. He started a fire on the side of the road and started to roast some fish.
He gave the Elixir King all the murderous aura he had accumulated from killing Acheron's assassins and the resources in his Interspatial Ring, and asked him to refine pills for him.
This time, he didn't want to run anymore. Didn't Acheron want to kill him? He walked all the way to Sifang City.
"This night is so beautiful." Looking at the brilliant stars in the sky, Ye Tianze took down the grilled fish.
"Brother, are you selling this fish?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Tianze was not nervous. He looked at the figure walking slowly in the night and asked, "That depends on what you buy."
The one who walked over was a young man, but his face revealed some vicissitudes of life. The young man carried a sword on his back. Although he was very young, he did not have the slightest bit of decadence.
He straightened his back and walked to the side of the bonfire. He sat down casually and said, "Living on this road and roasting fish. Brother, you have a unique style."
"I am waiting for someone." Ye Tianze said, "I will roast some fish while I am at it."
"Wow, this is a Flaming Fish, right? A Flaming Fish should be roasted with an extremely cold flame. Brother, you really are a foodie." With that, the youth took out a wine gourd and said, "I'll use wine to trade for your fish, how about it?"
"That depends on what kind of wine it is." Ye Tianze said.
The young man threw the wine gourd to Ye Tianze and said, "The best wine in the Eastern Region, Thousand Years Drunk. Do you want to try it first?"
Ye Tianze took the wine gourd and drank it in one gulp. Then, his face immediately flushed red. He was actually a little drunk.
"Good wine." Ye Tianze said and pointed at one of the fish. "This fish is yours."
The young man immediately grabbed the fish and said, "Brother, are you not afraid of the poison in my wine?"
Ye Tianze smiled and said, "The poison that can kill me has not been refined yet."
"Hahaha, refreshing. Come, brother, give me the wine gourd. Give me a sip … it is so fragrant. I have been looking for this Flaming Fish for a long time, but I couldn't find it." The young man said.
The two people who didn't know each other were drinking wine while eating fish. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. There was no barrier between them and they didn't guard against each other.
"Brother, who are you waiting for?" The young man asked.
"Waiting for the person who will kill me." Ye Tianze said.
"Oh?" The young man asked, "Do I look like the person who will kill you?"
"No." Ye Tianze said.
"Hey, I am also waiting for someone." The young man said.
"Oh." Ye Tianze said.
"Don't you want to ask who I am waiting for?" The young man strangely asked.
"What does it have to do with me? Anyway, you are not waiting for me." Ye Tianze said.
"Hey, you don't play by the rules. You are clearly making me worry." The young man said.
"Then who are you waiting for?" Ye Tianze asked.
"I am also waiting for the person who will kill me." The young man said, "However, that person is obviously not you."
"Where are you from?" Ye Tianze felt that this person was really interesting.
"I came from the east. I want to go to the west." The young man said, "What about you, brother?"
"I came from the west. I want to go to the east." Ye Tianze said.
"Fate, brother. Come, shake hands." The young man stretched out his hand, which was full of oil.
"Where did fate come from?" Ye Tianze had no intention of shaking hands.
"I came from the east, so I wanted to go to the west. You came from the west, so you wanted to go to the east. What a coincidence, we met. We even drank and ate fish together. Wine from the east, fish from the west. Don't you think this is fate? Do you want to shake hands?"
The young man said.
"It is indeed fate." Ye Tianze said and immediately stretched out his hand.
As soon as their hands met, Ye Tianze suddenly felt an enormous surge of spiritual energy rush out from his opponent's hand, like a ferocious dragon.
Ye Tianze's expression didn't change. He immediately activated his spiritual power to counterattack. The space between their palms began to distort. However, to Ye Tianze's surprise, his own spiritual power was unable to force back his opponent's spiritual power.
The young man was obviously surprised that his spiritual power did not push back Ye Tianze's spiritual power.
The two people shook hands for a long time, and their strength was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that they would not stop until there was a winner.
"Brother, good spiritual power. May I know brother's name?" The young man asked with a smile.
"You also have spiritual power. May I know your name?" Ye Tianze asked back.
The two people looked at each other and smiled. At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Ye Tianze, saying, "Li Yubai, your death date is here!"
Ye Tianze said, "The person I am waiting for is here."
The young man frowned and asked, "Your name is Li Yubai?"
"Yes, my name is Li Yubai." Ye Tianze said.
"What a coincidence." The young man said, "Do you know my name?"
Without waiting for Ye Tianze to ask, a voice came from behind the young man, saying, "Ye Tianze, your death date is here!"
"Your name is Ye Tianze?" Ye Tianze looked at the young man and asked.
"Yes, my name is Ye Tianze." The young man said.
"What a coincidence." Ye Tianze said with a smile.
The two people looked at each other and smiled. Behind them, a bloody aura surged, and dozens of Acheron's assassins came over.
These Acheron's assassins saw that there was a group of Acheron's assassins opposite the person they wanted to kill. Obviously, they were a bit surprised.
"Brother, why don't we deal with the people we are waiting for first? What do you think?" The young man said.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Ye Tianze said.
As soon as the voice fell, the two people released their hands at the same time and turned around to kill the people behind them.
"Clang clang clang"
After dozens of breaths, the two people came back one after another and sat next to the bonfire. Different from before, there were more than a dozen corpses behind them.
"What a bunch of weaklings." After sitting down, the two people unexpectedly said in unison.
Ye Tianze and the young man were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled. They began to eat the fish and drink again.
"It seems that the person who killed fifteen cities and destroyed more than a dozen Acheron's strongholds is you." The young man said.
"I also heard that there was someone who killed ten Acheron's Earth Realm assassins in one strike in Jiuzhou City in the Eastern Region. Was that person you?" Ye Tianze asked.
"That's me." The young man said.
"Well, the person you are talking about is me." Ye Tianze said.
"It's fate." The young man stretched out his hand and said, "So, brother Yu Bai, are you going to Four Corner City?"
"Yes." Ye Tianze said, "So, brother Tianze, are you going to Imperial Dragon City?"
"Yes, I'm going to Imperial Dragon City. I'm tired of playing in the Eastern Region. It's time to go home." The young man said, "Otherwise, I won't be able to see my old man for the last time."
At this point, the young man suddenly picked up the wine gourd and took a big gulp, "That old man is a busybody."
Ye Tianze was silent.
The young man said again, "Since there is such fate, then … why don't we take back our identities? You go to your Four Corner City and I go to my Imperial Dragon City?"
The young man's eyes were shining. Ye Tianze rarely saw such a clear pair of eyes. The light dispelled the darkness.
At this time, the young man stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, let's get to know each other again. My name is Li Yubai. People in the Eastern Region call me that, but my old man calls me Yi Haoran."
"Ye Tianze." Ye Tianze stretched out his hand and the two shook hands again.
This time, neither of them used their spiritual power.
"Hahaha, it's really you." Yi Haoran said, "I didn't expect to meet you in this place. The person chosen by the old man is really not ordinary."
"Are you the second successor of Wuji Pavilion?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Yes, Wuji Pavilion has a total of two successors. My senior brother Yi Shuihan, you should have seen him." Yi Haoran said, "Originally, he was going to inherit the legacy of the old man and become the Master of Wuji Pavilion."
"Oh, what do you want to do?" Ye Tianze asked.
"What I want to do is the same as what you want to do." Yi Haoran said.
When Ye Tianze heard this, he suddenly understood what he meant and said, "Going back to Imperial Dragon City now is not a good decision."
"A good man is born in this world, there are things he can do and things he can't do."
Yi Haoran said, "The old man has helped us for so long. Now that the old man is dying, my good-for-nothing senior brother is unreliable. Only I can be the Master of Wuji Pavilion and hold up the sky. Alas, to be honest, I am very lazy. The old man has been scolding me for not living up to expectations. I also don't want to live up to expectations. Who wants to be the tall man? It's too tiring. "
"Don't you still want to go back?" Ye Tianze said.
"I have no choice." Yi Haoran said, "Oh, yes, when I came from the East, I found that the people in the East prepared a feast for you. Because it was your feast, I didn't participate."
