145: The man in black is dead!

Time passed second by second. The Man in Black gradually gained the upper hand, suppressing the Flood Dragon.

At a certain moment, Bai Zhi's expression suddenly tightened.

"That person possesses an Illusion Body Spirit Skill. He intends to use his Illusion Body to retrieve the dragon blood grass. I must act now."

As she finished speaking, she placed Chu Yuan into her inner pocket dimension and instantly vanished.

Bai Zhi arrived near the battlefield in the blink of an eye. She concealed her figure, quietly waiting for the right moment.

The Man in Black was seen fighting the Flood Dragon while secretly controlling his Illusion Body to reach the location of the dragon blood grass and pick the dragon blood grass.

"Roar!" The Flood Dragon roared furiously, attempting to retreat and reclaim the dragon blood grass, but was blocked by the Man in Black.

Immediately, the fight between the man and the beast intensified slightly.

Once the Illusion Body returned with the dragon blood grass, the Man in Black's face lit up with joy.

He stopped fighting the Flood Dragon, forced it back with a single move, and turned to leave.

Just then, a cold snort echoed, causing the Man in Black's heart to seize up.

Before he could even react, a terrifyingly sharp claw print appeared directly in front of him and violently slammed into his body.

The Man in Black had no time to react and was instantly sent flying backward from the impact, vomiting blood.

But that was not the end of it.

Because his escape was obstructed, coupled with the chaotic state of the Qi around him, he watched the pursuing Flood Dragon lash out with its tail, yet he was utterly powerless to stop it.

"Bang!" A tremendous crash sounded. The Man in Black was fiercely struck by the Flood Dragon's tail and sent plummeting downward.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" The Man in Black wildly spat fresh blood, which breached the cover of his mask and soaked his black clothes.

He stared up at Bai Zhi in astonishment, his eyes brimming with hatred.

He truly hadn't expected that despite being extremely cautious, a wrench would be thrown into his plans.

After acquiring the dragon blood grass, he became momentarily complacent and ended up suffering severe injuries.

He glared viciously at Bai Zhi, "Truly worthy of a Demon God, resorting to sneak attacks! I will remember what transpired today."

After speaking, a Spirit Talisman appeared in his hand; he seemed intent on activating it to flee.

But how could Bai Zhi let him succeed?

She let out a soft laugh, "Don't waste your effort. This space has been Sealed by me. Teleportation talismans are useless here!"

As she finished speaking, the Spirit Talisman indeed flashed with a faint light, transforming into countless runes that enveloped the Man in Black, attempting to carry him away.

But Bai Zhi's words were quickly verified.

Those runes rapidly dissipated, and the Man in Black fell out of the formation.

At that very moment, the Flood Dragon's attack followed closely, striking the Man in Black's body.

"Pfft!" The Man in Black spat blood once more, his expression turning extremely grim.

He looked at Bai Zhi with shock and fury, "That damned Demon God! You intend to use this Vicious Beast to assassinate me here. What a malicious scheme."

Bai Zhi chuckled, "I am not interested in killing you. As long as you hand over the treasures you possess, I will immediately withdraw the spatial Seal!"

"Is that true?" The Man in Black looked surprised and doubtful, yet his eyes were filled with suspicion.

"Naturally. I am a dignified Demon God. How could I go back on my word?"

Bai Zhi declared solemnly, subtly reinforcing the spatial Seal.

She intended to keep her word, but what if this man tricked her and escaped?

The Man in Black struggled to evade yet another attack from the Flood Dragon, then gritted his teeth.

He took off the sumeru ring, erased the Divine Soul imprint, and tossed it to Bai Zhi.

Facing the current predicament, all he could do was take a gamble.

If he won the gamble, he could escape this place.

If he lost the gamble, could the result possibly be worse than the present?

Bai Zhi carefully accepted the sumeru ring. After seeing that there were quite a few treasures inside, and that the dragon blood grass was also present, she put it away.

"Your Excellency, it is time to let me leave, correct?"

The Man in Black barely managed to dodge the Flood Dragon's attack once more and inquired.

It was noticeable that his voice held a trace of apprehension, as if he worried Bai Zhi would not keep her promise.

Bai Zhi nodded, her figure swiftly moving away, and her voice drifted down leisurely.

"The spatial Seal will be lifted after three breaths. You figure out how to escape yourself!"

Seeing this, the Man in Black's expression was grim, but he still let out a slight sigh of relief.

Although the spatial Seal was still active, at least the Demon God Bai Zhi was no longer obstructing him.

In this case, his chances of escaping were still quite high.

Thinking of this, spiritual energy flowed wildly around his body. He neutralized the Flood Dragon's attack with one move, then transformed into a streak of light and fled.

The Flood Dragon roared furiously and pursued relentlessly, but its speed was slightly lacking, and it soon lost its target.

"Roar!" The Flood Dragon roared, full of resentment, and was about to turn back when its eyes suddenly flickered.

A smell of blood suddenly drifted from ahead, causing it to rush forward involuntarily.

Soon, it saw the being who had stolen its treasure and injured it.

"Roar!" The Flood Dragon roared and charged toward the Man in Black lying on the ground.

The Man in Black's face revealed despair, "Demon Taming Tower, you are truly despicable!"

Knowing he could not escape this calamity, he couldn't help but curse furiously, completely sinking into despair.

Just moments ago,

The Black Eagle Demon God, who was enslaved by the Demon Taming Tower God Realm, had suddenly blocked his path.

He failed to react quickly, and coupled with his severe injuries, he was directly knocked out of the sky by the opponent's single move, and his cultivation was immediately Sealed by the opponent.

Not only were all the treasures he had hidden on his person confiscated, but he was also dumped right here.

His strength was Sealed, making him unable to conceal the scent of blood on his body, which was what attracted the Flood Dragon.

"Heh heh!" "I never expected this scheme to ultimately fall upon me. How unpredictable are the ways of the world!"

The Man in Black let out a bitter laugh and slowly closed his eyes.

"Crunch!" A smacking sound was heard, and the Flood Dragon narrowed its eyes slightly in satisfaction.

The Man in Black, deceased.

...Meanwhile, on the other side.

Immediately after being released by Bai Zhi, Chu Yuan received a message from Black Eagle.

After learning the sequence of events, Chu Yuan shook his head and said nothing further.

Facing a similar predicament, Black Eagle was fortunate enough to be saved by him;

But the Man in Black had terrible luck, dying in the mouth of a Vicious Beast. He had only himself to blame.

However... what surprised him was that the Man in Black truly lived up to being part of the Human Race; his thoughts were remarkably astute.

What he carried in his own sumeru ring were likely mostly items he didn't truly need.

The true treasures, astonishingly, were all stored in his inner pocket dimension.

Black Eagle's sumeru ring was also among them.

If Black Eagle hadn't possessed certain methods, he truly wouldn't have been able to retrieve the treasures from the Man in Black's inner pocket dimension.

It might not even be that the Man in Black was particularly astute, but rather that most God Realm experts operate this way.

This incident made Bai Zhi seem far too trusting, as she accepted the opponent's sumeru ring and simply let him leave.

As Chu Yuan was pondering, he saw Bai Zhi handing him Black Eagle's sumeru ring.
