Chapter 1963: Chapter 1954: Betrayal (Part 2)

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all." Yi Dingxiang still pretended to be clueless.

Yet the faint smile on his face betrayed him.

"Chen Yang’s intuition is never wrong! You betrayed us!" He Xiran shouted angrily.

"Hehe, I originally wanted to leave a good impression, but I didn’t expect your abilities to be good enough to detect it." Seeing that the situation was exposed, Yi Dingxiang decided to drop the act and directly admitted it.

"I did call the Blood Bat Hall people, and they have surrounded the whole villa. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better cooperate; otherwise, your fate will be miserable." Yi Dingxiang candidly admitted that he did call the Blood Bat Hall people.

"Why are you doing this!" He Xiran yelled angrily.

"Hehe." Yi Dingxiang sneered, "Why? It’s for my own safety. Your alliance is already broken. Why should I follow you into ruin? Sorry, I’m a businessman; what’s important is profit, so naturally, I don’t want to invite trouble upon myself."

With their masks torn off, the bodyguards who followed Yi Dingxiang immediately surrounded Chen Yang and He Xiran with hostility.

Yi Dingxiang himself backed away to what he believed to be a very safe distance.

He Xiran listened to Yi Dingxiang’s words and rebuked angrily, "The Alliance Hierarch was sworn brothers with you. How could you do such a thing? Do you have any conscience?"

"Conscience? He’s already dead; you have nothing to do with me. Why should I have any conscience towards you?" Yi Dingxiang mocked.

"You..." He Xiran’s face was flushed with anger at the shameless words.

"Alright, I don’t want to argue with you anymore. You’d better cooperate with the Blood Bat Hall’s investigation, or your end will be truly miserable. This is a word of advice, remember it." Yi Dingxiang threw down a line with a smile and then turned to leave.

"Stop, even if I die today, I’ll take this ungrateful, unconscientious scum with me!" He Xiran moved angrily, fiercely charging at Yi Dingxiang, trying to stop him from leaving.

But as soon as she acted, she was immediately besieged by the nearby bodyguards.

Three or four Qi Cultivation experts swarmed in instantly, trying to take down He Xiran first.

Even though He Xiran was at the Qi Cultivation Realm, she was evidently no match for several opponents at once.

"Hahaha, little girl, you still want to fight me? You’re underestimating me too much. The Blood Bat Hall has already surrounded the area; today, you’re not getting away." Yi Dingxiang laughed.

"People like you will not die a good death!" He Xiran gritted her teeth, glaring at Yi Dingxiang with rage.

She despised traitors, especially ungrateful ones like Yi Dingxiang!

"Hehe, I’m not sure about my death, but if you don’t cooperate, it will definitely be bad for you. Time is short; think wisely!" Yi Dingxiang’s expression turned fierce as he looked at the bodyguards, "Take them down quickly and hand them over to the Blood Bat Hall."

"Yes!"

The bodyguards responded in unison and then redoubled their efforts to overpower He Xiran as quickly as possible.

Seeing that He Xiran was struggling, Chen Yang certainly couldn’t stand by.

He decisively intervened.

With lightning-fast techniques, he dealt with all those bodyguards within seconds. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

All laid out on the ground!

"You..."

Yi Dingxiang was shocked and pale, completely unprepared for Chen Yang’s formidable strength.

"I never thought you were such a despicable person. The former Alliance Hierarch was really blind to have sworn brotherhood with you, and those uncles trust you so much." Chen Yang’s face was also grim, his gaze fixed tightly on Yi Dingxiang.

"Chen Yang, why waste words on him? Take care of him, then we find a way to leave." He Xiran said.

"Alright."

Chen Yang nodded, then moved to eliminate Yi Dingxiang.

Yi Dingxiang heard this, heart pounding with fear, and turned to flee.

"Deputy Hall Master, save me!!" Yi Dingxiang screamed as he ran toward the staircase.

"Trying to run? Better stay!"

Chen Yang dashed forward an arrow’s pace, his fist following closely, almost landing a lethal blow on Yi Dingxiang when suddenly a figure appeared.

Blocking Chen Yang’s punch for Yi Dingxiang.

Yi Dingxiang was an ordinary person, so Chen Yang didn’t use his full strength.

Thus, the opponent easily deflected Chen Yang’s attack.

"Deputy Hall Master!! Save me!!"

Seeing the person beside him, Yi Dingxiang’s expression immediately changed, grabbing at the final lifeline.

Chen Yang retreated two steps to maintain distance.

Then he carefully examined the newly arrived individual.

Clad in black, pale-faced, hollow-eyed, emitting the sinister aura unique to Blood Bat Hall.

Moreover, judging by the aura emanating from him, this person seemed stronger than the previously slain Blood Bat Hall deputy.

Blood Bat Hall truly is unfathomable.

Just after dealing with a Spirit Gathering Realm deputy, another stronger one appeared immediately.

To completely overthrow Blood Bat Hall, it probably won’t be easy.

Chen Yang was secretly astonished.

"Remnants of the Alliance, death is deserved!!" The man in black scanned Chen Yang with scarlet eyes first, then surged forward with an intense killing intent.

His hand, charged with black Spiritual Energy, formed a claw aimed directly at Chen Yang’s throat.

It seemed he was trying to kill Chen Yang in one blow!!

"It’s you abominable creatures who deserve death!" Facing the sudden attack, Chen Yang showed no fear, furiously channeling the Spiritual Energy within him, rushing to meet the assault.

When their fist and claw collided, it created powerful shockwaves from the battle, instantly flipping Yi Dingxiang onto the ground.

Even He Xiran struggled to withstand the shockwaves, forced to retreat several steps.

Their first attacks were exploratory, not full-blown combat.

So after the strike, they simultaneously stepped back, maintaining a certain distance.

Having previously sensed the formidable power of the man in black, Chen Yang remained calm without indicating any fear.

But the man in black was different.

He never imagined that the young man before him, seemingly in his twenties, could match him equally!

"You killed a hundred of our Qi Cultivation Stage members from Blood Bat Hall!" Slightly shocked, the man in black immediately recalled what happened days ago.

The alliance had clashed with Blood Bat Hall for years; the man in black knew their strength well.

But he had no understanding of the young man before him.

Only through the recent exchange did he believe Chen Yang had the capability to wipe out over a hundred Qi Refinement members of Blood Bat Hall, so he suspected.

"More than them, you too today!" Seeing the opponent guess correctly, Chen Yang didn’t deny it!

Anyway, the opponent had seen his face, so there was no way he’d let him leave alive to avoid future troubles.

With that, Chen Yang aimed an offensive stance, launching himself forward.

The exquisite Gathering Spirit Seal in his palm rapidly formed, generating a terrifying explosive force aimed at the man in black.

"Humph, noisy, really think some skill allows you to provoke me?" The man in black scoffed, his aura surging exponentially.

Instantly engaging with Chen Yang.

Fortunately, the second floor of the villa was spacious enough, and the two were careful during the exchange, thus preventing damage to the structure.

If they were entirely unrestricted, the entire villa might transform into ruins instantly.

"Chen Yang, be careful, Blood Bat Hall members are lunatics, practicing evil techniques. If they smell blood, they become fiercer!"

Watching Chen Yang engage in battle, He Xiran couldn’t help but warn him.

Chen Yang was entangled in fierce combat with the man in black.

Upon hearing this, he realized he couldn’t afford to prolong the fight.

The villa was already surrounded, and prolonging the battle would only invite more danger.

Since he didn’t know if more Blood Bat Hall people were headed here.

With that thought, Chen Yang immediately maximized the Spiritual Energy within him, the Gathering Spirit Seal pounding down on the man in black like torrential rain.
