"You?"


    Seeing this person’s appearance, Su Yuan was first a little surprised, then his heart sank somewhat.


    This young man was one of the trio encountered earlier at the hotel entrance.


    At that time, the Azure Sky Phoenix had given a warning, and Su Yuan felt that there was something off about the trio.


    Now, with the other side launching a sudden ambush, their stance was unmistakable.


    However, what made Su Yuan uneasy was not the sinister youth himself, but that since he did not harbor good intentions, the two others traveling with him — the burly stern youth and the girl in JK uniform — were surely the same type.


    The Molten Lava Cave was already dangerous enough, and with these malicious people... he hoped Zhuang Xun and Fang Kun would not encounter those two!


    Suddenly, Su Yuan seemed to remember something; his eyes narrowed slightly: "Have you been following us all along?"


    The sinister youth laughed softly: "Yes, I’ve been following you for half a day, and you never even noticed!"


    Half a day?


    Wang Huai, suppressing his bleeding with Star Power, struggled to stand, his forehead sweating and face pale.


    Upon hearing Su Yuan’s question, Wang Huai immediately understood the implication and shouted at the sinister youth:


    "What did you do to Zhang Yang!?"


    "You mean the man who went back?" The sinister youth laughed heartily, "Unfortunately, he has already been devoured by my Blood Power, reduced to bones."@@@@


    The sinister youth’s lips curled up: "Oh right, as for the woman who stayed behind, young female blood and flesh essence is truly delicious."


    Upon hearing this, both Su Yuan and Wang Huai’s faces darkened to the extreme.


    "Evil Card Master!" Wang Huai’s eyes widened in anger, "Damn you, all of you evil card masters!"


    Evil Card Masters were Star Card Masters who used demonic means to harm others for self-gain and quickly enhance their strength.


    In the Great Flame Country, Evil Card Masters were prohibited; once discovered, the City Guard or even higher authorities would deal with them.


    Thus, Evil Card Masters usually operated abroad; even if they infiltrated domestically, they wouldn’t dare to act too blatantly.


    "Injured so badly and still able to talk?" The sinister youth sneered, flipping his hand to produce a dark red stinger sword, "Looks like I’ll have to send you to death to finally shut you up!"


    As he spoke, the sinister youth suddenly transformed into a blood shadow and shot at Wang Huai, thrusting the sword forward!


    Wang Huai’s pupils shrank, wanting to dodge, but intense pain from his chest and abdomen paralyzed him with weakness...


    "Clang!"


    In a critical moment, silver light flashed in front of Wang Huai, and it was Su Yuan who used his Dragon Armor Saber to precisely block the sinister youth’s thrust.


    Su Yuan’s hands trembled with the saber, directly forcing the sinister youth back several steps.


    "Time to send you off."


    The youth’s face changed, but before he could react, Su Yuan had already slashed with his saber!


    The Dragon Armor Saber cut through his body, splitting him in half.


    Yet, in an instant, the flowing blood water remerged.


    "A self-repairing blood water body, hmm?" Su Yuan’s expression remained calm. "Let’s see how long you can keep repairing!"


    Before the terrified eyes of the youth, Su Yuan’s Dragon Armor Saber, imbued with Space Cut’s black glow, began a frenzied assault!


    One slash, two slashes, three slashes...


    In just a few seconds, Su Yuan had struck nearly twenty times, making the initially dark red blood water turn extremely transparent!


    Simple brutality!


    The sinister youth’s Blood Power was exhausted rapidly, his repair speed quickly falling behind.


    At this rate, he wouldn’t escape the pressure before being killed!


    "Damn it!" The youth’s fear turned into venomous hatred as he glared at Su Yuan, "You forced me; if it’s like this, we’ll die together!"


    As he spoke, the youth’s Blood Power surged wildly, and his blood water body twisted and shrank.


    "Self-destruction?" Su Yuan’s face changed slightly, then he instantly teleported away with a flash of silver light.


    "Boom!" Stay updated with novelhall.Co?m


    The sinister youth’s blood water body exploded violently!


    Aside from the intense explosion, countless blood arrows shot in all directions indiscriminately!


    Su Yuan stomped, wind swirling around him, deflecting the blood arrows rushing toward him.


    But among them, one blood arrow subtly altered its course, entering the stone corridor and quickly disappearing.


    Su Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Pretending to self-destruct to force me back, only to escape with a secret technique?"


    The blood arrow vanished quickly, alongside the lingering explosion aftermath, making pursuit difficult.


    "Evil Card Masters have so many tricks... but you escaped once, you won’t escape again." Su Yuan glanced around, "Pray we don’t meet again, or I will kill you!"


    Su Yuan sheathed his Dragon Armor Saber, picked up the sinister youth’s fallen Blood Bee Stinger Sword, and stored it in his Space Ring.


    "I need to recover." Su Yuan considered his Star Power situation.


    Having cleared the cave earlier, his Spiritual Power was already low, and now, after using both Elemental Magnetism Pressure and Space Cut, his Star Power was nearly depleted.


    The noise from the sinister youth’s self-destruction had drawn some scattered Undead Star Beasts nearer.


    Su Yuan glanced deeper into the secret realm, then quickly left the scene.
