Lin Danzi looked at Lin Qing who stood proudly not far away and could not help but praise her. "Young hero, it's such a pity. Such a hero could not be used by me."

"Branch Lord Lin Qing, you've finally arrived. It's just that it's much later than expected." Lin Danzi brought Wu Yan, Zhou Jian, and Qu Ming to the front, looking at Lin Qing who was not far away from them as he spoke.

"No matter what, since you have come, I'm sure you wouldn't mind waiting a little longer, Branch Lord Lin Danzi." Lin Qing calmly gazed at Lin Danzi as she coldly spoke.

"That's true. However, I'm afraid that you won't be present tomorrow in today's battle." Lin Danzi laughed. His laughter was filled with an unspeakable arrogance.

Lin Qing's expression turned cold as he held the sword in his hand and coldly said, "I'm afraid that Senior Lin Danzi will not have his wish. I have always been lucky. I wonder if I will be able to see Lin Danzi tomorrow."

With a "hmph" sound, Lin Danzi turned his gaze to the tiger skin chair behind Lin Qing. There was a trace of a strange expression in his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

As if he understood Lin Danzi's doubts, Wu Yan came forward and whispered into Lin Danzi's ear, "I have never seen this old man before. I'm afraid he is not a simple person."

Lin Danzi nodded. He naturally knew who Wu Yan was talking about.

"Branch Lord Lin Qing, who is this old man behind you? I've never seen him before." Lin Danzi acted as if he did not know what was going on as he swept his gaze over the tiger-skinned old man who was sitting in a meditative pose with his eyes closed.

With a cold laugh, Lin Qing completely ignored Lin Danzi's question.

Lin Danzi's eyes flashed with anger when he saw this, but at this moment, Lin Danzi would never show it.

Qu Ming, who was following behind Lin Danzi, couldn't help but look at Elder Shu. He felt his eyes go blurry, as if he were in a fog, but he couldn't see it clearly.

At first, Qu Ming didn't pay much attention to this decisive battle. However, his expression changed as a look of caution appeared on his face.

As if he felt something, the old man opened his eyes and glanced at Qu Ming, who was behind Lin Danzi. There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he muttered to himself: "Looks like I really need to move today. This old man is getting old, and if I stay here any longer, I'll grow mouldy."

The old man let out a soft sigh and coughed involuntarily. His body staggered up as he slowly walked towards Lin Qing.

"You must be Lin Danzi. You must have some tricks up your sleeves." When he arrived not far from Lin Qing, the old man seemed to be talking to Lin Danzi, but in reality, his eyes were focused on Qu Ming who was behind him.

Lin Danzi wanted to say more, but Qu Ming suddenly stood up and looked at the old man with a serious expression. He coldly said, "I didn't expect to meet a cultivator here. I'm afraid you don't have much lifespan."

"That's right, I'm old, it's time I buried myself." The old man didn't seem to mind, as if he was narrating a fact, but no one felt a trace of sadness from the old man's words. Instead, there was a different kind of emotion hidden in his heart.

"Junior, you must have a big scheme. However, are you not afraid of retaliating due to the cycle of karma by deliberately suppressing your own cultivation and refining that demonic path?" The old man's eyes fell on Qu Ming, as if he had seen through everything.

Qu Ming's heart was also chilled, and his gaze towards the Elder of the Books was even more vigilant.

Qu Ming had been suppressing his own cultivation, even if it was possible for him to enter the realm of a talented warrior. He had given up all hope in order to cultivate the Hundred Ghost Swallowing Heart Technique, and even though he was slightly injured by Lin Qing yesterday, he was still able to comprehend the technique in one go. However, because he had not comprehended it for a long time, some of his aura leaked out.

When he thought about how this old man in front of him could see through his cultivation base in one go, Qu Ming felt a chill in his heart.

However, at this time, the Elder did not look at Qu Ming, but instead looked behind Qu Ming, the depths of his eyes hiding endless mysteries.

"You have been hiding for such a long time, you should have already revealed yourself. With me here today, you should forget about devouring the soul on the battlefield, you must have fought with me for a while!"

"Caw."

"Caw."

"Caw."

Behind Qu Ming, a sound like a duck's neck suddenly came out. A black shadow separated from Qu Ming's body and floated into the sky, coldly looking at everyone.

Black smoke curled around his body, with the faint imprint of a demonic face engraved upon it. It felt extremely cold as it grew four arms and eight palms, akin to the descent of a demonic god. It was extremely terrifying.

This sudden change greatly shocked both the people from the Green Bamboo Gang and the people from the Tiger Gang. They involuntarily took a few steps back and fear appeared in their eyes.

The old man just smiled and waved his hand, causing a breeze to blow. The old man's body flew up with the wind and landed in front of the demonic god. Although he was old and couldn't be seen, every move he made contained the might of a celestial spell.

"He's almost buried in the ground, why would he need to get involved in such a thing?" The demonic god's buzzing voice carried an inexhaustible might.

"It is precisely because I am about to go to the earth that I have to manage it." The elder smiled faintly and moved with the wind.

"Good, good, good. Since that's the case, don't blame me for beating you until your soul is destroyed, then you will lose the chance to reincarnate for eternity!" The demonic god said cruelly.

"We've long since lost the opportunity to reincarnate. Why do you need to say that?" The old man's cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with a cold light.

The demonic god wanted to continue speaking, but the old man waved his sleeves and flew towards the sky. From time to time, a leisurely voice could be heard, "Come and fight!"

The demonic god gave a cold snort and black smoke curled up around him. With an indescribable shock in his voice, he turned around and flew towards the old man, but he soon disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched the strange scene unfold in the sky.

After a long, long time, Lin Qing, Wen Xueqi, as well as Lin Danzi, Qu Ming, and Zhou Jian all seemed to come to their senses and coldly looked at each other, especially Lin Qing, whose complexion was the ugliest. Originally, Lin Qing had invited Old Shu to come over in order to deal with Qu Ming.

With his own strength, with the departure of the old man, how could he be a match for Qu Ming?

Sure enough, Qu Ming's sinister gaze also landed on Lin Qing. It was accompanied by a cold killing intent. Qu Ming clearly remembered the scene of Lin Qing injuring him yesterday, how could he forget it so easily?

With a cold heart, Lin Qing knew that she was no match for Qu Ming.

However, so what? At this stage, he could only fight to the death.
