Mortal Mirror

As the words of the Knife Sharpening Man faded, he stood up again, his battle intent beginning to coalesce, forming a shape like a torch.

Li Ergou marveled; these Knife Sharpening Men were truly not to be underestimated, their battle intent so powerful.

Naturally, he wouldn't be careless, directly summoning the Gluttonous Armor. He joked inwardly that no matter how powerful a cultivator was, they had to prioritize defense. After all, there were too many cases of capsizing in the gutter.

Only by living could one possess everything and become the ultimate victor. Methods were merely processes to achieve results. He was never a righteous gentleman, nor had he ever considered being one.

Li Ergou moved, his body as fast as lightning. The Knife Sharpening Man also moved, black flames rising from his blade. Within a radius of ten zhang, countless raindrops evaporated under the flames, creating a dry space, demonstrating the heat of the fire.

Alice and Jiutian moved almost simultaneously, each using their own methods to suppress the Knife Sharpening Man.

Li Ergou's blade drew a light as bright as day across the sky, slashing down at the Knife Sharpening Man.

"Well done!"

The Knife Sharpening Man attacked, black flames dancing across the sky, as if to vaporize everything.

The two sides clashed fiercely, with a cacophony of clashing blades and rumbling earth. Unfortunately for the Knife Sharpening Man, he was facing Li Ergou, a somewhat perverted powerhouse.

Although Li Ergou's cultivation had only reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he cultivated both his physical body and his magical power, with various enhancements. Nascent Soul cultivators were merely average in his eyes.

Although he had never fought a Transformation God cultivator, he was confident that as long as they weren't too overwhelmingly powerful, he could put up a fight.

The Knife Sharpening Man's formation began to crumble, as he was being besieged by three experts. Even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't last. Moreover, none of these three were easy to deal with.

Li Ergou seized an opportunity, and something suddenly emerged from his crotch. This sudden appearance momentarily stunned the Knife Sharpening Man, and before he could react,

the massive object had already arrived before him. He tried to block with his blade, but the object was as hard as metal and stone, directly shattering his blade and breaking through the shields he had erected in front of him.

"Puchi..." After a soft sound, the massive object directly pierced his chest, penetrating his body.

This object was none other than Li Ergou's tail. This object possessed immense power and was unexpected, making it the best method for sneak attacks, and Li Ergou never failed with this move.

The Knife Sharpening Man, suspended by the tail, widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "How... how could this be? Are you human or demon?"

"Hmph, of course I'm human."

"Such a despicable method!"

"Despicable? There's nothing despicable about it. It's just that your skills are inferior. If I didn't want to end the battle quickly, you wouldn't even be qualified to make me use my tail's tendon.

It's you who's strange. Something's not right. Why aren't you bleeding?"

The Knife Sharpening Man's eyes flickered, revealing a strange smile as he said, "We Knife Sharpening Men are merely mysterious, but we're not really stupid.

Boy, did you really think this was my true body? Would I really be so foolish as to wait here for you Shenlong Temple people to come and catch me?

This is just a puppet body, a substitute for me. But I have to admire you, a small child with such heaven-defying methods.

I advise you, this is a muddy water, you better not touch it, give the bottle box to your superior, this matter will eventually have an explanation."

Li Ergou's eyes flashed, but he couldn't help but ask, "I understand now. Everything is your trick. The reason you killed and plundered, and waited for me here, is just to pass on information to a non-existent person.

Hmph, you have calculated well, but unfortunately, you have not accounted for one thing."

The Knife Sharpening Man frowned slightly and asked, "What thing?"

Li Ergou raised his eyebrows and sneered, "That is me. As long as I keep today's events a secret and don't speak out, then everything you have done today will be in vain."

The Knife Sharpening Man's expression changed drastically as he said, "You dare? If that really happens, the people of Shenlong Temple will not let you go."

"Hahaha, dare? What wouldn't I dare to do? As long as I don't speak, how would Shenlong Temple know?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's very simple. I want to know, what exactly is your purpose?"

The Knife Sharpening Man shook his head and said, "Some things are better left unknown, lest you bring about your own death. A small flag officer like you wants to know such a great secret, truly disdaining your own life.

Since you want to die so much, I can tell you that the time has come, and the deposed crown prince must return what he owes us."

At this moment, he suddenly reached out his hands, actually intending to attack Li Ergou. Li Ergou felt that everything was too late, and could only shake his tail.

With a loud bang, the Knife Sharpening Man was directly shattered into pieces by the massive force, but what fell to the ground was not flesh and blood, but countless crystals and various parts.

The Knife Sharpening Man had not lied. This was truly just a puppet body. Li Ergou looked at the fragments on the ground, recalling the Knife Sharpening Man's words, and felt that he had entered a huge conspiracy.

Alice came to his side and asked, "Young Master, are you alright?"

Li Ergou nodded slightly and said, "It's nothing. Collect all these things, and I'll need to hand them over to the superiors later."

Liu Bingyi, Zhang Xiaofei, and Wang Ba were all dumbfounded at this moment. They knew that Li Ergou was a Nascent Soul cultivator, but they hadn't expected him to be so terrifyingly powerful.

Especially that tail. Just thinking about it drilling into their bodies made them shudder all over. They finally understood how perverted and terrifying their boss was.

In this way, the few people immediately became more cautious and obedient, because they had heard Li Ergou's entire conversation. This captain was definitely the kind of ruthless and unscrupulous person.

If they weren't careful, they might be killed by him without any recourse. Powerful, truly terrifyingly powerful.

Without thinking too much, the few people joined in cleaning up the battlefield. Everyone quickly searched, packing up every tiny part of the puppet, as well as everything in the house, without leaving anything behind.

Li Ergou stood in the drizzle, but felt a myriad of emotions in his heart. Shenlong Temple was really not an easy place to deal with, but he, Li Ergou, was never afraid. After all, if you want to climb higher, you need to pay a greater price, right?

In this way, let him go up step by step, and see what the highest point of Shenlong Temple will be like.
