Zhang Bin felt a shiver down his spine as he quickly retreated.

He watched vigilantly from a distance.

For an enemy so mysterious, he had to be cautious.

As soon as that black sun emerged, Chiang Xue's sun dimmed, seemingly subdued.

The darkness surged like tidal waves, wave after wave.

Zhang Bin and Feng Fei both felt suffocated.

"Kill..."

But Chiang Xue showed no fear. Unable to hold back any longer, she shouted and dashed forward like lightning.

The Taiqing Cone in her hand transformed into a cold gleam, fiercely stabbing towards Zuo Xie's eyes.

"Dark binding..."

Zuo Xie sneered.

A frigid dark force appeared out of nowhere, acting on Chiang Xue's body and hands like ropes binding her.

She could no longer stab out.

However, Chiang Xue remained calm and shouted, "Break free for me."

Flames erupted from her body, wildly burning the ropes formed by the darkness.

"Clang..."

But Zuo Xie's demon blade had already slashed fiercely onto Chiang Xue's neck.

It made a sound like striking iron.

Chiang Xue's defensive power was far superior to Zhang Bin's.

Naturally, she could easily withstand it.

But Chiang Xue was utterly enraged, screaming wildly, "Open for me."

With a strong pull, there was a cracking sound as the ropes binding her snapped.

She surged forward, the Taiqing Cone in her hand turning into countless cold lights, completely enveloping Zuo Xie.

"Beautiful lady, you are indeed strong. I really like you."

A wary look appeared on Zuo Xie's face as he wielded the demon blade to fight against Chiang Xue.

And the black and red suns hovered above them, darkness and brightness canceling each other out.

It was truly a spectacle.

Zhang Bin stared unblinkingly at the enemy's black sun.

He pondered deeply, what kind of divine skill was this?

How come he had never heard of it?

How could someone cultivate such an evil black sun in their eyes that could devour light rays and bind bodies?

"Clang clang clang..."

Chiang Xue was extremely strong, fiercely brave, and held an absolute advantage.

Though Zuo Xie was powerful, he began to falter, retreating step by step.

Yet, he arrogantly boasted, "Young lady, I could kill you quite easily, but I'm quite reluctant because I haven't taken you to bed yet. I make sure women get unprecedented satisfaction before I plunge a sword into their chest."

"I'll tear you to pieces."

Chiang Xue couldn't tolerate such insult and attacked with even more ferocity.

"Chiang Xue, retreat quickly."

Zhang Bin suddenly sensed an ominous feeling, dashed forward like lightning, and shielded the retreating Chiang Xue.

"Swish swish..."

Zuo Xie indeed launched a deadly attack.

From his eyes shot out two swords, one black and one purple, surging with a destructive aura.

They originally aimed at Chiang Xue but turned towards Zhang Bin instead.

"Splintered Moon Twin Swords?"

Zhang Bin internally exclaimed in astonishment, for he recognized them as the Splintered Moon Sword, though composed of different energy or cultivated with deviation, hence black and purple.

Who on earth was this teenager? How did he cultivate the Splintered Moon Twin Swords?

Had he also seen the Celestial Demon Technique, Part One?

But the Celestial Demon Technique, Part One had always been with You Jiuxuan...

In a flash of realization, from Zhang Bin's eyes shot out the Splintered Moon Twin Swords, one gold and one silver.

These were supposedly the most genuine Splintered Moon Twin Swords.

So Zhang Bin was confident he could crush the opponent's black and purple swords.

"Clang clang..."

Instantly, the four Splintered Moon Swords clashed together.

Gold against black, silver against purple.

Producing sounds like metal striking.

Sparks flew.

Then both flew back, like lightning, returning to their respective eyes.

This strike was evenly matched, without distinction.

Zhang Bin was stunned as if he were foolish, for from this display, the opponent's Splintered Moon Twin Swords were also authentic, thus so resilient.

Meanwhile, his heart surged with intense fear.

Had he not felt the ominous premonition earlier and let Chiang Xue retreat while he took the defense, Chiang Xue might have perished.

The Splintered Moon Twin Swords could certainly have cut through Chiang Xue's Moon Palace, then slain her soul.

Zuo Xie was similarly dumbfounded, staring at Zhang Bin like a monster.

At that moment, his heart was also overwhelmed with tempestuous shock.

"You too cultivated the Splintered Moon Twin Swords? Tell me, how did you cultivate them?"

Zuo Xie's eyes burst with icy gleams, his voice equally chilling.

"I should be asking you! Tell me, how did you also cultivate the Splintered Moon Twin Swords?"

Zhang Bin asked coolly.

At that moment, he made up his mind to capture this guy alive and use the Soul Reading Technique to search his memory.

Because he sensed that the opponent's origin was incredibly terrifying, and he seemed to be in a terrifying crisis now.

"Did you obtain the Celestial Demon Technique, Part One?"

Zuo Xie exclaimed shockingly.

"Celestial Demon Technique, Part One? What is that?"

Zhang Bin feigned extreme puzzlement and asked in surprise, "Did you learn the Splintered Moon Twin Swords from the Celestial Demon Technique, Part One?"

He was a master trickster; how could he reveal even a hint of his secrets?

"Then how did you cultivate the Splintered Moon Twin Swords?"

Zuo Xie asked suspiciously.

"You tell me first, what is the Celestial Demon Technique, Part One? Is it your ancestral cultivation technique? If it is, then we should be from the same sect." Zhang Bin feigned excitement.

"Hehe... we might indeed be fellow sect members. Farewell."

Zuo Xie smirked, clearly seeing through Zhang Bin's act.

He suddenly soared skyward, flying straight toward the horizon.

By now, he realized that by himself, he couldn't defeat Zhang Bin and the others.

But his purpose wasn't to kill Zhang Bin, merely to assess Zhang Bin's merit points.

His task was completed.

"Come back here."

Zhang Bin shouted, and his telekinesis ability burst forth again, pulling Zuo Xie down forcefully.

"Die..."

Chiang Xue also screamed crazily, and the hottest rays erupted from her eyes.

In a blink, they bombarded Zuo Xie.

"Boom..."

Like a bomb exploding, the black sun above Zuo Xie shattered instantly.

Boundless darkness enveloped everything.

Even light was extinguished.

And when the darkness receded, Zuo Xie had vanished without a trace.

As if he never appeared.

But his words remained, "Zhang Bin, I'm not your enemy, nor can you kill me. Keep earning your merit points. I'll continue my wandering life."
