Excessive ferocity due to caution

The two sides are locked in a standoff.

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Ji Debing exuded an unstable and malevolent aura.

For some reason, his power seems to be suppressed.

Even so, killing two near-super ferocious beasts would still be a piece of cake for him.

Even though Zhao Yi's strength was already at the pinnacle among quasi-great ferocious beings, it was still not enough in front of a true great ferocious being!

What he truly feared were the two cursed items in Zhao Yi's possession!

Qin Bai, standing to the side, was completely ignored by Ji Debing.

Once Zhao Yi is dealt with, he can do whatever he wants with Qin Bai!

At that moment, Qin Bai, who was equally nervous, stiffened.

He suddenly heard Zhao Yi's voice in his mind!

Qin Bai glanced at Zhao Yi, who was completely focused on confronting Ji Debing and hadn't said a word.

But soon, Zhao Yi's voice rang out again.

"Qin Bai, don't make a sound or show any unusual behavior."

"If you can hear me, take half a step back."

Qin Bai slowly took half a step back.

Zhao Yi continued:

"very good."

Let me explain it to you briefly.

"We're now trapped in a formation set up by the enemy using their mental power. I've been silent the whole time because I was observing the formation's rules and structure..."

"There is a mysterious power in this stone coffin, and the array he created himself is full of loopholes."

"I will fight him in a moment to draw his attention, and when the time is right, I will send you out of this great formation. At that time... you must quickly open the lid of the stone coffin!"

Zhao Yi's voice had barely faded from Qin Bai's mind when Ji Debing said in a seductive tone:

"How about we each compromise?"

"I'd like to invite you to join us. Shall we start by taking care of this little one?"

Zhao Yi said calmly:

"Not interested."

Ji Debing:

Don't rush to reject me.

"To tell you the truth, once the coroner enters the Hall of Coroners... it's almost impossible for them to get out!"

"You think you can get out the way you came? That's wishful thinking!"

"If it were so easy to leave, I wouldn't have been trapped in this place for over four thousand years!"

"Help me complete the sacrificial array; it's the only way we can leave this place!"

Zhao Yi squinted:

"You seem to really enjoy sacrifices, could you be that great sage?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Debing chuckled sinisterly.

"You're quite clever."

"Now that I'm already here, I'm not going to continue the act!"

"That's right!"

"I am the very same great sage who meticulously plotted to sacrifice the entire Ronald Empire in an attempt to elevate his religion to immortality!"

Qin Bairen, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

Reality is far more fascinating than fiction.

I recalled the novels I used to read on campus, but they were far less exciting than my own experiences.

"How is it?"

"Work with me, let's join forces, sacrifice this brat, and then we just need to wait for another unlucky guy before we can get out!"

In response to Ji Debing's invitation, Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"Working with someone like you is a waste of my life."

"If you can survive in this stone coffin for four thousand years, so can I."

"I'd feel more at ease killing you!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised his hand and charged at Jidebing with the human skin scroll in his hand!

boom!

Ji Debing raised his fist to meet the attack. The terrifying power of the rules collided, creating a devastating ripple that annihilated everything in its path!

Qin Bai had retreated to a distance the moment Zhao Yi made his move, nervously observing the battlefield.

"Kill me?"

"You?"

"How arrogant!"

Ji Debing remained calm and composed, showing no panic even though he was slightly at a disadvantage against Zhao Yi, who was wielding two cursed items.

The cursed object in Zhao Yi's hand was indeed powerful. In addition, he had suffered a backlash from the power of the stone coffin while trying to create a large array inside it, and almost lost his soul!

Even after so many years of recovery, Ji Debing has only managed to stabilize his injuries.

Even so, the gap in strength remains.

Actively activating a cursed object to attack others is completely different from passively using it. Zhao Yi himself will also bear a portion of the cursed object's power!

As a near-death being, he simply could not withstand the long-term corrosive power of the cursed object!

Therefore, Ji Debing concluded that he did not even need to risk attacking. As long as he could delay for a while, Zhao Yi would be corrupted and destroyed by the power of the cursed object!

The two continued to fight, with Zhao Yi actively activating the power of the cursed object, displaying considerable aggression, seemingly trying to force a one-for-one exchange with Ji Debing!

The more ferocious his attacks, the more composed and unhurried Ji Debing became, constantly engaging Zhao Zhou in combat.

Seeing Zhao Yi's attacks becoming increasingly frantic and chaotic, Ji Debing revealed a smug and ferocious smile.

"You're a smart person; you shouldn't have made such a foolish decision!"

"Too late..."

Due to the corrosive effects of the cursed item, strange things began to appear on Zhao Yi's body.

Eyes began to grow on my neck, looking both real and unreal.

The skin was cracked, and the blood flowing inside was faintly visible.

It felt like his whole body was about to be dismembered!

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Are you angry?"

"Hahaha! Too bad you can't do anything to me!"

"You fool, I want to watch you drain yourself dry and kill yourself!"

Ji Debing kept making sarcastic remarks, but in reality he was looking for Zhao Yi's weakness.

However, no matter how fierce Zhao Yi's offensive was, it did not leave him any opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

Soon, just as Zhao Yi's body was about to collapse, black flames suddenly burst into flames on his body, which was strangely entangled. Mysterious tattoos appeared, accompanied by the warmth of the sun and the depth of the North Sea, constantly suppressing the strange things that were born on his body!

The three forces merged, blooming into black lotuses that cleansed Zhao Yi's body of its evil and weakened the remaining power of the curses!

Seeing this, Ji Debing's flippant expression became much more serious, and he also felt the pressure, continuing to calmly defuse Zhao Yi's offensive!

As Zhao Yi's offensive became increasingly frantic, the pressure on Ji Debing also increased, and the two continued to clash with each other using the rules of the game!

At first, Zhao Yi only used his own power and shallow understanding of the rules to urge the cursed object to attack him.

But as they continued to fight, Ji Debing discovered something that sent chills down his spine—

Zhao Yi actually began to test him by mixing his own power of rules with the power of the cursed object!

And in the process, he continuously improves his use of the power of rules!

Before long, Zhao Yi had become completely familiar with how to use the rules to fight!

boom!

The two exchanged a blow, then separated slightly, standing about twenty paces apart, staring intently at each other.

"What a fine whetstone..."

An excited gleam flashed in Zhao Yi's scarlet eyes.

He hadn't felt such excitement in a long time.

Ji Debing, whose attention was completely drawn to Zhao Yi, did not notice that Qin Bai was no longer visible in the small world he had created with the array...

PS: Second update.

It was not yet 10 o'clock. (When I posted this)

I'll definitely make it before 9 o'clock tomorrow!

Get some rest, my darlings!

good night!
