Ling Han took hold of Ding Ping, and disappeared from where he had originally stood in a flash.

Ding Ping only felt his vision blur, and discovered that he had surprisingly appeared in a forest. It took him a moment to distinguish that this was Horse Army Mountain, and was at least more than a hundred miles away from where they had initially been.

It had only been a single step, yet they had traversed more than a hundred miles?

He could not help but be dumbfounded; the extent of his master’s abilities had far exceeded his imagination.

In front of them, there was a tall, slim middle-aged man. He was as gentle as jade, and the sight of him would make anyone have a favorable impression of him.

‘Was he the person that Master was waiting for?’ Ding Ping thought.

“Brother Corpse Boss, it’s been a long time since we last met.” Ling Han clasped his fists in greeting. Although this person was a member of the Thousand Corpse Sect, Ling Han still had quite a good impression of him.

Instantly, the tension in Ding Ping’s heart relaxed. Looking at how relaxed Ling Han was acting, this person should be a friend, and not an enemy. Still, being someone whom his master would address as “Brother”, he had to be a man in the top tier of the elites of this world.

He had only thought that Ling Han had said, “Big Brother s.h.i.+” ¹ ; otherwise, his hair would definitely be standing on ends in terror.

Corpse Boss could not help but grin bitterly, and said, “It’s all my fault for being greedy for wine, which exposed my location. However, Brother Ling is also very awesome. The sharpness of your senses has completely exceeded my imagination; I was sure that I would not be discovered if I came out to buy some wine.”

Ling Han smiled faintly; a person who had not established a nation would naturally not know the amazing uses of the totem. Even Ma Duo Bao, who had established his empire twice, did not know the correct position to establish a nation. He said, “Brother Corpse Boss, I only need to know an answer.”

Corpse Boss sighed, yet as he turned his eyes on Ding Ping, his eyes lit up, and he said, “This brat’s skeletal structure seems to stand out from the rest!”

“Naturally, he is my disciple,” Ling Han answered, smiling.

“You are still as confident as you have always been!” Corpse Boss smiled as well, yet shook his head, and said, “I’m afraid I cannot give you that answer.”

“I haven’t yet said what question I wanted to ask,” Ling Han said with a smile.

“Brother Ling, are you looking down on my intelligence?” Corpse Boss asked with slight displeasure.

Ling Han raised his hands with a smile, and said, “All right, all right. Brother Corpse Boss, why don’t we have a bet? If you can block ten moves from me, I will let you go. If not, then you have to tell me the location of the surviving members of the Thousand Corpse Sect!”

Corpse Boss could not help but feel rueful. The first time he’d seen Ling Han, he had suggested a wager for the latter to block ten moves from him, and as long as Ling Han could do so, he would not kill him. But now, just how many years had pa.s.sed? It was Ling Han’s turn to turn it around and offer him the same wager.

Could such a large gap have appeared between the strength of the two sides?

Corpse Boss could not believe it, and said darkly, “I have already raised my cultivation to the ninth layer of the Shattering Void Tier, and awakened a Mystical Power. Now, my battle prowess can reach fifteen Stars, and you are confident that you can defeat me within ten moves?”

“How would you know if you don’t try?” Ling Han asked smilingly. For the last year, he had isolated himself and cultivated hard. Aside from himself, no one knew how strong his ability had become by now.

Fifteen Stars? If he wanted to, he could crush him directly.

Corpse Boss’s expression s.h.i.+fted continuously. If it was any other person, he would go along with the bet. Even if he lost, he could go back on his word as well; who would be able to stop a Shattering Void Tier elite if he wanted to flee? But he was different; his personality was very decisive.

He was not one who would betray his companions; at the same time, he was also one who was loyal to his word. Thus, he had to consider the consequences of his possible loss.

This caused him to feel very conflicted. On one hand, he definitely did not believe that he could not block ten moves from Ling Han, and on the other, he had to consider the possibility of his defeat.

It was only now that Ding Ping found out that Ling Han was actually on opposing sides with this person. He could not help but be shocked; as opponents, they could actually be as amiable as this towards each other?

Ling Han snickered, and said, “What is it? Is Brother Corpse Boss afraid? Actually, with the abilities of Brother Corpse Boss, why do you need to stay in the Thousand Corpse Sect? Once we split open these skies, the world would expand, and where can you not go?”

Corpse Boss’s pupils shrank, and he said, “Just slightly over a year ago, Ma Duo Bao had failed to open the skies, and you want to split open the skies as well. Are you not afraid of death?”

Ling Han laughed loudly, “As a man, what would be the harm in a glorious death? Furthermore, why would I not succeed?”
