Both men used physical strength, but the burly man's movements were clearly more refined, with no flaws in his every move. His technique and angles of exertion were perfect, giving Wang An no chance to catch his breath.
The next moment, Wang An's huge body was kicked by the strong man and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Wang An roared, and the moment he landed, he tried to turn over, but the burly man immediately followed and delivered a powerful punch to his head!
dong dong dong! !
Deep, muffled thuds echoed throughout the area. Wang An's shouts initially included curses, but quickly turned into wails, and finally disappeared completely.
Amidst the smoke and dust, the burly man looked down at Wang An, whose body was now a bloody mess, and a cold smile finally appeared on his lips.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at Huang Tao, who was lying motionless on the ground, before getting up and starting to touch Wang An's body.
Soon, the burly man had found quite a few good things on everyone's bodies. He seemed satisfied and quickly left.
Not long after the burly man left, Huang Tao, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sat up. His unfocused pupils shrank abruptly, and he gasped for breath.
He looked around, still somewhat shaken, then glanced at Wang An's enormous corpse lying not far away. Without a second thought, he got up and quickly left the area.
"What an idiot! How could my poison possibly kill me!"
On the way, a sinister smile appeared on Huang Tao's face. He mocked the strong man, saying that he had brute strength but was not even a match for Wang An of the giant race. However, he was also a bit dim-witted.
However, this incident was too strange, and he needed to report it to the Blood Tower immediately.
Meanwhile, the burly man returned to the dense forest and stopped in a deserted area.
Immediately afterwards, he rubbed the skin on his face with one hand, and then gently pulled, tearing off a piece of his face skin.
Ding Yi looked at the human skin mask in his hand, his expression unchanged. Then, his body muscles twitched, and his figure slowly shrank back to its original height.
Finally, he also tore off a piece of human skin from his chest, revealing the hideous beast tattoo underneath.
Just now, he opened the quicksand map. Although he didn't find any red crosses, he understood that Wang An had already decided to kill him.
The only reason this guy hasn't killed me yet, who could kill even a pharmacist with whom he'd had a century-long partnership, is because I still have some value.
"A race of giants? What are those?"
Ding Yi recalled Wang An's tall figure after his transformation, sneered, and then thought of Huang Tao's face.
No one knew better than him whether the enemy was dead or not.
With Ding Yi's lifespan already nearing its end, any extension of his lifespan would trigger his sensitive nerves.
The reason he let Huang Tao go was because he deliberately left him alive so that Huang Tao would lead the attacker to the strong man, rather than him, the little pharmacist.
If Ding Yi were to leave Huang Tao alive in front of everyone, it would only arouse suspicion within the Blood Tower. Huang Tao's feigned death, on the other hand, was exactly what Ding Yi wanted.
However, the opponent is the Demon Palace, the Demon Palace of the Chaotic Lands. This little bit of backup plan is not safe.
Ding Yi stood there with a frown, then sighed.
He then reached into the tattoo on his chest, pulled out a box, and added some more ice cubes to it.
Finally, Ding Yi reached out his right hand, grabbed his left arm, gritted his teeth, and with a sudden burst of strength, pulled his entire left arm out!
A large amount of blood gushed from the severed arm, emitting a strange fragrance as it fell to the ground, causing the surrounding flowers to grow a little taller.
Ding Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he ignored his wounds. He then quickly put his left arm into the box, and finally put the box back into the tattoo.
After doing all this, Ding Yi let out a strange laugh. He wrapped his right arm with his robe, then put his black robe back on. Finally, he cleaned up the bloodstains around him before hurriedly leaving the jungle.
Ding Yi, reeking of blood, hurriedly entered Chaos City, but did not attract anyone's attention.
In this chaotic place, cultivators die every day. Apart from the fact that the major demon palaces in the city jointly prohibit fighting, even if you step outside Chaos City, you may be killed instantly.
Countless people have lost arms or legs, so Ding Yi's condition is relatively mild.
After entering the city, Ding Yi returned all the way back to his cave in the back mountain.
Upon entering the cave, Zhu Jiujie smelled blood and rushed out, where he saw Ding Yi with a missing arm.
"Big brother! Who did this?!"
With red eyes, Zhu Jiu Jie quickly helped Ding Yi sit down and said fiercely.
Ding Yi tried to feign pain, but shook his head and said:
"It's nothing, I was just ambushed."
Zhu Jiujie hurriedly went to find some ointment to apply to Ding Yi, but Ding Yi waved his hand, indicating that there was no major problem.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi told Zhu Jiu Jie not to go anywhere recently, as things were too chaotic outside and many people might die.
Although Zhu Jiu Jie was somewhat anxious upon hearing this, he could only grunt and sulk in place due to Ding Yi's orders. In the end, he only returned to his small cave after being scolded by Ding Yi.
Before half a cup of tea had passed, another person arrived in front of Ding Yi's cave.
A middle-aged man with a sallow complexion stood in front of Ding Yi's door, quietly examining the cave dwelling before him.
This person has a long, narrow face and a mysterious pattern on his forehead. He is wrapped in a black robe, so his thin build is not visible.
He casually tossed a token towards the cave in front of him. The token embedded itself in the stone wall in front of the cave entrance, and then a series of urgent chirping sounds came from inside Ding Yi's cave.
Ding Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. Although he had expected the Blood Tower people to come, he did not expect it to be so soon.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the Flowing Sand Map from his pocket with one hand, glanced at it, and then slowly got up and walked out of the cave.
When the stone door opened, Ding Yi came out and saw that there was only one person standing at the door. His expression immediately became strange.
"who are you?"
Ding Yi asked directly.
The man glanced at Ding Yi's bleeding shoulder, then at Ding Yi's face, and slowly said:
"What did you encounter outside the city today?"
The man's voice was very sharp, like a male duck's, but it also had an indescribable chill that sent shivers down one's spine upon hearing it.
Ding Yi still frowned upon hearing this, and asked:
"You haven't even said who you are yet! This is Blood Tower territory, are you looking for death?!"
The man's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this; he simply took out a token from his pocket and flashed it at Ding Yi.
"I am a member of the Blood Tower."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi's expression relaxed somewhat, but he quickly paused, blurting out the question:
"Where's Steward Wang? We can't find him. You're not an imposter, are you?!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately grinned an ugly smile and continued:
"I haven't even mentioned Steward Wang yet, why are you suddenly bringing him up?"
Ding Yi rolled his eyes upon hearing this, inwardly cursing the people of the Demon Palace for being such cunning old foxes. He thought they could get information out of his grandfather with such low skill levels, but they were dreaming.
"He promised to bring me the materials next time he comes. What, does your Blood Tower want me to conjure up Ascension Ointment for you out of thin air?"
Ding Yi sneered and asked indifferently.
