Reuniting after a long period of separation was a sentence that had no head or tail.
However, as an old friend, Nitro instantly understood.
The so-called 'not giving up' referred to the exploration of the Darkness Continent.
Back then, he, Lin Nie, and Jiege, as the top psychic ability users in the circle, felt that they had the qualifications to conquer the Darkness Continent.
Therefore, the three of them formed a team and went to the Darkness Continent through the method of 'smuggling'.
However, when they stepped through the door, the things they saw and heard gave them a huge blow.
It was also from then on that the three of them decided to 'part ways' and walk on different paths.
Lin Nie walked on the most complicated and contradictory path.
While she was in awe of the Darkness Continent, she still had a trace of hope. However, she had been retreating her entire life.
Jiege walked on the path of resistance. As the youngest and hot-blooded person in the team, he didn't know what 'giving up' meant. Every time he fell, he would think of ways to stand up.
After witnessing the magnificence of the Darkness Continent, his desire to conquer the Darkness Continent was stimulated. He was also the one who regained his confidence the fastest among the three of them.
"As for me..."
Nitro's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
He had stepped into the Darkness Continent twice in his life.
The first time, he went alone but was defeated by the dangerous environment.
After returning, Nitro reflected on it and felt that one person's strength wasn't enough.
Therefore, on the second trip to the Darkness Continent, he formed a team with Lin Nie and Jiege.
With reliable teammates supporting each other, the second exploration was much smoother than the first. It was also at that time that Nitro felt a sense of satisfaction as he had 'found the right path'.
However, when they climbed over a tall mountain with great difficulty, the incomparably huge ecosystem that appeared before them rang out in the depths of Nitro's heart like the evening drum and morning bell.
At that time, Nitro suddenly came to a realization.
It wasn't that he was retreating. It was that he finally understood what he was pursuing — it wasn't to fight against the harsh nature but to fight against powerful individuals.
Therefore, their second foot didn't manage to cross the threshold and they returned to the six continents with endless regrets.
That return trip was the end of their journey for all eternity.
Seeing Nitro's momentary silence, Jag didn't mind at all. He excitedly said, "Do you still remember? The bold words the three of us made under the gray stone tree … Although we weren't able to do it back then, it's different now. "
Jag clenched his fists. Perhaps it was because he was talking about the Darkness Continent, but his face was brimming with vitality and his words were filled with confidence.
"As long as you haven't given up, with my current strength, I can definitely bring you …"
"Jag."
Nitro suddenly interrupted.
Jag stopped abruptly and looked at Nitro.
What he wanted to say was to bring Nitro and Lin Nie to a place no one had ever been before, to experience a scenery no one had ever seen, to reach a peak no one had ever reached before, and to accomplish a feat no one had ever done before.
But now, he seemed to be able to foresee Nitro's next words.
"My pursuit is different from yours."
Nitro sighed softly and looked deeply at Jag, who was still in his prime.
Unknowingly, scenes from the past flashed past his mind.
Back then, only Jag had regained his enthusiasm within a short period of time. Moreover, one year later, he had gone to look for Fang Xingjian and Lin Nie, proposing to form a team and head to the Darkness Continent once again. As expected, Fang Xingjian and Lin Nie had rejected him.
In his memory, the scene that he couldn't get rid of the most was probably Jag's back view, which was filled with loneliness and disappointment …
"Our pursuit is different?" The corners of Jag's brows twitched, and he suddenly smiled. "Oh right, you're still the same as before, Isaac …"
Isaac was actually Nitro's given name, while Nitro was his surname.
Nowadays, there were only a handful of people who would address Nitro as Isaac, and this naturally included his old friend of many years, Jag.
Nitro was silent, while Jag's smile gradually disappeared and turned into disappointment.
"That kind of pursuit of yours is completely senseless, but …"
At this point, Jag no longer restrained his killing intent, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his gaze as he looked at Nitro.
He had originally wanted to ask about Nitro's matters, but from the moment Nitro had clearly rejected him, these matters were no longer important.
The powerful aura that had spread to the surroundings instantly retracted and focused on Nitro.
The aura pressed down like a mountain, causing Nitro to feel as if he was in the deep sea with pressure everywhere. He immediately released his psychic power to resist it.
Even so, the pressure from the aura showed no signs of easing.
"What exactly happened to Jag all these years?"
Nitro's expression turned grave.
Although he didn't know the reason, Nitro could tell that Jag was serious.
He was serious about … killing him!
Nitro didn't retreat to open up the distance. He endured Jag's aura and made a praying gesture, ready to attack and defend at any time.
Jag looked at Nitro who was in formation and said expressionlessly, "If we're talking about the limits of individual strength, the current me can satisfy your senseless pursuit."
Nitro's expression was grave as he said in a low voice, "Let's change places."
Jag smiled coldly and slowly raised his right hand, clearly disagreeing with Nitro's request.
This wasn't just the entrance to the Hunters' Association building, it was also the most prosperous and densely populated area in the city. If he fought with Jag here, the losses would be unimaginable.
Seeing that Jag's killing intent was about to burst out, Nitro didn't hesitate and summoned the Hundred Styles of Guanyin.
In a silent place, a Buddhist sound seemed to be heard, and a golden Guanyin appeared behind Nitro.
Accompanied by a dazzling golden light, the golden Guanyin struck forward with a palm.
This palm wasn't aimed at Jag, but at Nitro.
Bang —!
Borrowing the strength of Guanyin's palm, Nitro flew into the sky.
His idea was simple. Since Jag didn't agree to change places, then he would forcefully lure Jag out of the city.
Jag turned around and expressionlessly looked at Nitro who flew far away in a breath's time, then snapped his fingers.
Clack!
Nitro who had already flown far away suddenly teleported back to his original position.
"This is … the character for God."
Nitro quickly glanced at the cryptic rune that had appeared at his feet without him knowing.
His adaptability to battle was terrifying. Even if he was inexplicably teleported back to his original position, his state of mind wasn't affected at all. He didn't even reveal a single flaw in his haste.
Jag looked at Nitro who had returned to his original position and said coldly, "Change places? Did I agree? Do you think I'll still cooperate with your reckless actions like before? "
Nitro's expression changed. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart that he hadn't felt in a long time. Then, after seeing Jag's action of condensing telekinesis, he subconsciously shouted, "Stop!"
However, Jag wouldn't listen obediently. He condensed a large amount of telekinesis in his hands. As it floated, strands of black lightning flashed.
Seeing this, Nitro didn't hesitate to summon Guanyin behind Jag, attempting to interrupt Jag's action.
"Too late."
Jag gathered his strength and struck the ground with his palm first.
Boom —!
The ground cracked in an instant. A shockwave containing powerful telekinesis quickly spread in all directions. The hard cement ground turned into a wave at this moment, pushing everything along the way into the sky.
Like an unprecedented earthquake, the Hunters' Association building nearby collapsed. This force didn't stop there, and everything within range was pulled in.
The streets cracked, and the tall buildings collapsed.
The moving cars flew into the sky and disintegrated into several pieces of scrap metal. As for the ordinary people who suffered the unexpected disaster, when the ground was agitated into a wave, they instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and died without knowing why.
Panicked screams echoed in every corner, but in the blink of an eye, they were drowned out by the rumbling of the collapsing buildings.
In less than ten seconds, a tragedy had unfolded as far as the eye could see.
Nitro, who couldn't stop Jag, had thick veins bulging on his forehead. He finally exploded with killing intent toward Jag.
