Chapter 1575

The token was something Zi Chen needed to escort this time, but he threw it out without hesitation.

His life was about to be lost, so why would he still want to protect the token?

Zi Chen threw it out without hesitation, but the black figure didn't seem to care at all and directly struck at the token.

Zi Chen, who was about to turn and run, was already drenched in cold sweat.

He could tell that the black figure's goal wasn't the token, but to kill him.

"Scheme, this is a scheme."

Zi Chen instantly reacted. This must be a trap set by the Shuntian Prefecture Lord. If he guessed correctly, the foreign race he killed in the pocket world should be the Prefecture Lord's men. And the reason he helped the little girl back then should be to ruin the Prefecture Lord's plan.

This led to the conclusion that the Prefecture Lord was a foreign race. This conclusion could be said to be shocking.

However, just as Zi Chen was about to escape, a second powerful aura suddenly appeared. This aura wasn't any weaker than the black figure.

He turned around curiously and saw a familiar figure walking out from the energy light.

"Mo Ling." Zi Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.

Mo Ling grabbed the token and turned to look at Zi Chen. The corner of his lips curled up as he threw the token to Zi Chen, saying, "Your mission has been successfully completed. You're free now. This War Martial Region Token is your reward. Other than that, you can go to the Royal Sky Region to receive another generous reward."

Zi Chen took the token in a daze and was a little confused.

"Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to." Mo Ling reminded him kindly.

Glancing at Zi Chen who was still in a daze, the Thunder Sacred Beast brought him away.

The black figure didn't chase after them. Instead, he looked at Mo Ling.

Mo Ling looked at the black figure and said with some regret, "I didn't expect it to be you."

In front of Mo Ling, the black figure's eyes were no longer cold. Instead, they became somewhat complicated. He said, "But I guessed you would come."

"Why?"

Mo Ling looked at the black figure in front of him and asked in confusion, "You must have seen Zi Chen's performance long ago. Once the future war erupts, he will definitely be the one carrying the cauldron. Why do you want to kill him? Do you know how important he is to us?"

The black shadow lightly replied, "It's my duty."

"This is also considered a duty. Black Flame, don't forget that you are also a human."

If there were other people around who heard Mo Ling say this name, they would definitely cry out in alarm, their expressions changing.

Black Flame was at the ninth stage of the Domain Realm. His combat strength was ranked second in the entire Shuntian Prefecture, second only to Mo Ling.

However, the ranking did not represent one's combat strength.

Therefore, when the two of them faced off, it was still uncertain who would be the stronger one.

Mo Ling's words did not cause Black Flame to waver. He calmly said, "My life is no longer mine. Therefore, I can no longer be considered a human. To be more precise, I am a dog. A dog raised by others will only recognize its owner."

Mo Ling sighed.

In this world, not everyone was a heartless person. Some repaid kindness with enmity, some repaid enmity with kindness, but some repaid kindness with their lives.

Black Flame was undoubtedly such a person.

After that, the two of them were silent for a long time.

…

…

"A scheme, this is a scheme." Zi Chen, who had escaped, felt indignant.

Although he had ruled out the possibility that the Mansion Master was of a foreign race, he was certain that the Mansion Master and the middle-aged man had worked together to lure the snake out of its hole.

And he was the bait.

"Imperial Sky Domain, bah. If I go there again, I'm afraid I'll be schemed against again. I won't be stupid enough to go there. I want to return to Huping City." Zi Chen was very angry that he had been used as bait for no reason.

The sacred thunder beast curled his lips in disdain and said, "Now you should be thinking about how to escape. If Mo Ling can't kill that black guy, you will definitely die when he catches up."

Zi Chen was shocked when he heard this. He said, "That can't be. Mo Ling is known as the strongest person in the Shuntian Prefecture. Their realms are the same. How can Mo Ling not be able to kill that guy?"

"That guy is not weaker than Mo Ling."

The sacred thunder beast was an extremely powerful existence in the past, so his knowledge was naturally extraordinary. Zi Chen had to carefully consider his words.

If Mo Ling was really no match for the black guy and was killed instead, then Zi Chen would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit.

Right now, the most correct method was to immediately escape. The further the better. However, he could not escape for his entire life.

Zi Chen turned his head and looked into the distance.

The two dazzling lights collided with each other, and a surge of energy fluctuation burst out, which spread in all directions.

The mountain forest in front of him disappeared as the energy swept past, turning into yellow sand.

In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of twenty miles had become a desolate basin. Other than two black dots, there were no other signs of life.

Zi Chen knew that this was the clash between Mo Ling and the black figure. However, the power was too strong. The area within a radius of twenty miles had become a dead zone. All signs of life had disappeared.

"As expected, it's not weaker than Mo Ling."

However, this attack was also evenly matched. Zi Chen was worried. After a moment of hesitation, he rushed towards the two black dots.

"You're going to die." The sacred thunder beast followed.

…

…

In the center of this desolate basin, Mo Ling and Hei Yan were standing opposite each other.

Both of them had used all their strength in the previous attack. When facing an opponent of the same level, even a little probing would be fatal.

Both of them seemed to be unharmed, but in reality, they were both seriously injured.

After that attack, the two of them were once again silent. The silence was first broken by Hei Yan. "Back then, you and I went on an adventure. You obtained a Black Dragon Spear, and I obtained a Flame Dragon Sword. After that, you became famous with the Black Dragon Spear. Although I didn't say it out loud, I was somewhat unconvinced. The Flame Dragon Sword might not be weaker than the Black Dragon Spear."

Recalling the past, Mo Ling's eyes were filled with emotions. He sighed, "In fact, I've always wanted to see the power of the Flame Dragon Sword."

A crimson longsword appeared in Hei Yan's hand. The body of the sword was winding, and a lifelike dragon shadow was engraved on it. "I remember that the strongest move of the Black Dragon Spear is called Body Transforming into a Black Dragon, borrowing the power of all black dragons."

A black longspear appeared in Mo Ling's hand. A black dragon was engraved on the body of the spear. "I remember that the last move of the Flame Dragon Sword is Body Transforming into a Flame Dragon, borrowing the power of all flame dragons."

As the two weapons appeared, the statues in the middle seemed to come alive. The eyes began to shine, staring at each other.

"Do you still remember the appearance of these two weapons when we first saw them?" Hei Yan slowly raised the longsword in his hand.

"Of course." Mo Ling raised the longspear in his hand to his arm.

"At that time, the two weapons were in the hands of their respective owners. Then, they pierced into each other's bodies. The owners of the two weapons died together, and the two weapons were like old enemies. Before we arrived, they had been secretly confronting each other." The longsword in Hei Yan's hand began to shine, and a blazing wave rolled out, causing the surrounding sand to fly into the air.

"When we took away the two weapons, I joked that we must not be corroded by the weapons' spirits, or else we would become old enemies in the future." A faint dragon roar seemed to resound from the black spear.

Hei Yan smiled and said, "At that time, I said that it was impossible, because we were friends."

Mo Ling also smiled, "I remember that I added that we were not friends … but brothers."

The two of them were brothers with different surnames, but today, because of their different ideals, they were on opposite sides.

The blazing waves came one after another. The yellow sand in the sky was swept up, and a huge crimson flame dragon appeared.

The flame dragon was thousands of feet long. In the midst of the flying yellow sand, its pair of cold eyes were like sharp swords, piercing into the huge black shadow in front of it.

The black shadow's aura was like a mountain. It was a huge black dragon that was not weaker than the flame dragon. The black dragon's eyes emitted a cold light, and all its energy was restrained.

One was flamboyant, one was reserved, one was domineering, one was steady, but at this moment, both were extremely dangerous.

"Come."

An indiscernible shout reverberated between heaven and earth, followed by two resonant dragon roars. The flame dragon, with a surging aura, rushed towards the black dragon with a storm of yellow sand that filled the sky.

The black dragon, with a mountain-like aura, rushed towards the flame dragon.

Zi Chen, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the two dragon shadows with a very complicated expression.

Good brothers who had been through life and death together, but in the end, they were on opposite sides, and had to face each other in life and death.

Zi Chen, who was hiding in the dark, flew backwards to avoid the violent destructive power that was about to erupt.

But when the black dragon and flame dragon collided, there was no explosion of energy that could destroy the heavens and earth that they had imagined.

The black dragon dissipated, turning into Mo Ling's figure.

The flame dragon dissipated, turning into Black Flame's figure.

The long spear in Mo Ling's hand pierced Black Flame's heart.

And the long sword in Black Flame's hand pierced Mo Ling's heart.

This scene was so similar.

In a trance, it was like when they first saw the two weapons.

But it was different from then. From now on, there was no such thing as an old enemy.

Crack.

Crack.

A clear sound rang out. The two weapons were broken, and the soul shadows in them dissipated.

Black Flame stood in place, and Mo Ling took a few steps back. The remaining half of the spear was on the ground.

"Why?" Mo Ling looked at Black Flame, a look of pain on his face.

At the critical moment, Black Flame suddenly withdrew his strength, not being affected by the flame dragon's murderous intent in the weapons.

Black Flame smiled, and his smile was as gentle and pure as before. "Because … I was once alone."

With that, Black Flame's body fell backwards.

He was Black Flame, and his battle strength was not weaker than Mo Ling's. If not for the thought that he was once alone in his heart, how could Zi Chen, a little guy who had just entered the sixth rank, last for so long?

If not for the thought that he was once alone, why would he take the initiative to withdraw his violent power just now?

Just the aftermath of the collision was enough to make the little guy, who was hiding in the dark, suffer a fate worse than death.

Black Flame fell, but there was a smile on his face.

Mo Ling's face was full of grief.
