In the dark temple, Su Yunshan stood aside with steady eyes, looking at Tai Qing who was sitting alone in front of the chessboard.
This time Tai Qing was playing chess alone, his face still as calm as water, as if what was about to usher in was not a deadly battle.
When Su Yunshan saw his appearance, a dark color flashed in his eyes.
In fact, what he just said was not entirely from Su Yunshan's true intention.
Originally, he saw that Tai Qing's power was getting weaker and weaker, and the Dark Emperor's aura was no longer lingering in this palace. Su Yunshan really had the idea of taking Su Zhirou away.
After Tai Qing left previously, Su Yunshan immediately found his adopted sister and proposed the idea of taking her away.
As a result, after Su Zhirou heard what he said, she expressed extremely calmly that she wanted to stay.
He also gave Su Yunshan some persuasion, which basically meant that even if they could leave here, how could they leave the dark space.
Tai Qing and the Dark Emperor are not stupid people. If they let the situation go so far, there must be a way to avoid death.
In other words, as Tai Qing said, these sacrifices are all worth it.
He conveyed everything Tai Qing said word for word to his adopted sister's ears.
Su Yunshan knew very well that his adopted sister was by no means an empty vase, so he would not hide anything about this.
After Su Yunshan heard his adopted sister's analysis, the excitement in his heart suddenly subsided.
After careful consideration, I decided to stay and wait and see what happens.
If Tai Qing and the Dark Emperor really don't have any backup plans, they might be able to find a way to leave when they join forces with the God of Death.
While Su Yunshan was thinking, two strange auras greeted him in the empty and silent dark temple.
Su Yunshan felt this aura, and immediately stopped what he was thinking and looked up.
I saw Zhang Yifeng and Fire King flying into the palace one after the other.
Zhang Yifeng and his two men immediately noticed that there was another person besides Tai Qing in the hall.
"Um?"
"Boy Zhang, it's a good thing that I'm here with you this time, otherwise you might be at a disadvantage."
The Fire King walked out from behind Zhang Yifeng, stared at Su Yunshan, and smiled quite contentedly.
"Senior Fire King, don't worry. I think fellow Daoist Su, like you, is just here to watch the battle."
Zhang Yifeng shook his head slightly. He could feel that Su Yunshan had no fighting spirit.
"It's still reasonable to kill Taoist fellow gods, unlike some guys who rely on their elders and betray them."
Su Yunshan also chuckled when he heard this, and then glanced at the Fire King next to him.
The Fire King knew that Su Yunshan was talking about him, but he was in a very good mood now and didn't mind Su Yunshan's sarcasm.
Normally, he would have summoned a fireball to let Su Yunshan experience it.
"Mr. Zhang, you are here."
Tai Qing raised his hand and waved, and the chessboard in front of him disappeared. He slowly stood up and bowed slightly towards Zhang Yifeng.
"Fellow Taoist Taiqing, I'm here to keep your appointment."
Zhang Yifeng's eyes flashed with an unyielding fighting spirit, and he took a step forward and returned the salute with his head held high.
"Okay, please."
Tai Qing smiled slightly, and instantly countless black mist filled his body, just like it did in the Tianyu Empire that day.
However, this time Taiqing's black mist only enveloped the two of them, and neither Su Yunshan nor Fire King could see clearly what was going on inside.
"Tsk, why do you want me to see this?"
Su Yunshan slapped his mouth and said quite speechlessly.
"Boy, I heard that you are called the Young Supreme outside?"
Seeing that Tai Qing was covering up the battlefield, the Fire King simply turned his head and narrowed his eyes at Su Yunshan.
"Why, it's not enough to have the God of Death, you want me to work under you?"
Su Yunshan raised his eyebrows and asked in a calm tone.
"Oh, of course not. Besides, Mr. Zhang is not working under my command. The two of us are working together on equal footing."
"Besides, you are definitely not as good as Mr. Zhang in getting things done. I would be disgusted to have you work under me."
The Fire King sneered and looked at Su Yunshan with a provocative expression.
Su Yunshan's face turned dark when he heard this, but he soon returned to normal.
He chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that Senior Fire King would still hold a grudge so much. It was indeed my junior who was reckless just now. I hope that my senior will forgive me."
Su Yunshan didn't know why the Fire King choked him so much at first, but seeing the old man looking so proud, Su Yunshan couldn't help but think of what happened just now.
Although he didn't think that a respected senior would care about that little fun, after thinking about it, this was probably the only possibility.
Sure enough, when the Fire King saw Su Yunshan surrendering to him, he immediately snorted.
"Hehe, you are quite discerning."
"In this case, I, the king, will not remember the faults of the villain, and will not argue with you!"
After the Fire King said this, it seemed as if he had given Su Yunshan a great gift.
Su Yunshan shook his head helplessly, smiled, and said no more.
On the other side, in the battle shrouded in black fog, Zhang Yifeng looked indifferently at Tai Qing in front of him.
He observed the black mist around him, but found that the concentration of black mist emitted by Taiqing at this time was even lower than that of the Tianyu Empire.
"It seems that Senior Fire King's plan was indeed very successful. I'm afraid your current strength has been greatly reduced."
"Under such circumstances, you actually want to continue the previous battle with me?"
Zhang Yifeng took a deep look at Tai Qing and asked in a solemn voice.
"Mr. Zhang, you can rest assured that since I invited you here, I will not let you down."
Tai Qing said quietly, and immediately saw more than ten black hearts suddenly appear in his palm.
Under Zhang Yifeng's strange gaze, Taiqing raised his hand and integrated all the dozen hearts into his body.
Instantly, a rich dark aura burst out from Tai Qing's body.
But it was also accompanied by the visible death energy on Tai Qing's body.
Obviously, having these dozen hearts swallowed into his belly has made it difficult for Tai Qing's body to bear the load.
However, in this way, Tai Qing's feeling of weakness was indeed wiped away.
Feeling the fighting spirit exuding from Tai Qing's body, Zhang Yifeng's eyes also flashed with light.
"Okay, I won't let you down either."
Zhang Yifeng knew that Tai Qing's actions were just to have a fair fight with him, so Zhang Yifeng would not refuse.
The two swords are condensed in the palms, and no more words are needed at this moment.
The figures of Zhang Yifeng and Tai Qing disappeared at the same time.
When he reappeared, Tai Qing also held two black swords in his palms, and he fought fiercely with Zhang Yifeng.
Crazy sword light and black energy continued to intertwine in the air, and the auras emanating from the two men even caused the entire hall to tremble.
In just a few breaths, Zhang Yifeng and Tai Qing passed at least a hundred moves.
After another fierce fight, Zhang Yifeng and Tai Qing each retreated.
In such a fierce exchange of blows, Taiqing had the upper hand in the end, and the black energy around him shortened a full circle visible to the naked eye.
