Chapter 1159: Chapter 939: Encounter

Somewhere between north and south, two figures—one white and one red—are sprinting rapidly.

Each person is draped in a White Tiger Cloak and a Vermilion Bird Cloak, their identities evident without words...

It is none other than White Tiger True Monarch Fang Yuan and Vermilion Bird True Monarch Nangong Li!

At this moment, the aura around them is slightly unstable, as if they’ve just experienced a rather intense battle.

"So many days, yet only two have been removed. The efficiency is really low..." Fang Yuan spoke with a slightly cold tone.

But Nangong Li maintained a normal expression, contemplating as he said, "Given the Wheel of Destiny, guiding fortune and avoiding misfortune, catching those two is already not easy. If it weren’t for your killing intent’s pursuit, even those previous two might not have been caught."

When mentioning the previous two, Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed with some disdain.

"To think the Lover turned out to be a man, who dared to try using seductive arts on me. Disgusting!"

Recalling the Lover’s attempt to use charm arts on Fang Yuan, even the scene where the two were embracing, Nangong Li couldn’t help but laugh slightly.

"Yet, you sliced him into thousands of pieces of rotten flesh, that should have alleviated your rage, right?"

Fang Yuan showed an expression of nausea: "Even slicing him into tens of thousands of meat scraps cannot calm the disgust in my heart!"

Indeed, not long ago, Fang Yuan and Nangong Li had tracked down the Lover and the Hanged Man from the Truth Secret Society.

The two, the Lover excels in spirit charm and control, possessing peculiar and troublesome abilities.

While the other, the Hanged Man, mastered powerful undead power under the Life Law, gaining extraordinary strength through sacrifice and self-mutilation, while using undead power to heal injuries, becoming increasingly abnormal.

However, whether it was Fang Yuan or Nangong Li, they were both super experts of the Great Flame Sky Patrol.

The Lover’s strange abilities were slightly troublesome, but as for the Hanged Man... he was directly overwhelmed by the terrifying output of Fang Yuan and Nangong Li!

Though they smoothly resolved these two, the process left Fang Yuan extremely unmoved, still feeling the chill to this day.

And through Fang Yuan’s "interrogation" of the Hanged Man, it turned out it’s due to the Wheel of Destiny that these Truth Knights were so hard to catch.

The Wheel of Destiny guides fortune and avoids misfortune, and when the two True Monarchs move together, the "misfortune" is too great.

Although the Wheel of Destiny cannot lock onto Fang Yuan and Nangong Li’s location, it can let Truth Knights acting outside avoid where Fang Yuan and Nangong Li are.

This is quite similar to Ashley’s Elf Girl’s Prayer.

Fang Yuan looked at Nangong Li and said, "Since staying together brings too much ’misfortune’, why not search separately.

Otherwise, if things go on like this, when the Nine Veins in the Center settle, we won’t have killed many Truth Knights."

Nangong Li indeed had this consideration, but recalling Fang Qingxiao’s advice, he pondered slightly and shook his head.

"The Truth Secret Society knights mainly have strange abilities, it’s better to be slow and cautious than reckless.

Even if it’s you and me, separated in two places, we might not be able to handle it."

Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, if it were anyone else, he might not have cared.

But he could heed Nangong Li’s words somewhat.

After pondering with a frown, Fang Yuan said, "Then we’ll search another three days, if there’s no gain within three days, we’ll act separately."

Nangong Li sighed inwardly, knowing this was quite a concession for the stubborn Fang Yuan.

Additionally, both left to hunt members of the Truth Secret Society in preparation for the Dragon Vein struggle to establish an advantage.

With the Nine Veins in the Center about to settle, it’s indeed necessary to kill a few more Truth Knights.

Even if it means taking some risks, it is essential.

"Alright... hmm?"

Nangong Li was about to agree when his eyes suddenly cooled, looking forward.

Fang Yuan too sensed something, squinting as he looked ahead.

Three people donning Truth Cloaks, each with a unique demeanor, were standing ahead for an unknown amount of time.

Among them, one was a noble-looking male with blond hair, blue eyes, and an elegant air.

The one on the left was a thin man with a goatee.

While the last man on the right, a middle-aged man with a rugged face and broad shoulders, had an unremarkable iron sword hanging at his waist.

Seeing this person clearly, fierce cold glints flashed in Nangong Li’s eyes.

"Liu Dongming!"

This last person was none other than Liu Dongming, the original Vermilion Bird Third Rank who defected from the Sky Patrol Department!

Liu Dongming spoke with a cold voice, "Nangong True Monarch, how have you been."

Fang Yuan cast a cold glance at Liu Dongming, then moved his gaze away.

This was a Vermilion Bird affair; Fang Yuan knew it should be left to Nangong Li to handle.

Fang Yuan quickly assessed the other two.

About the 22 Truth Knights, although there isn’t precise intelligence.

In terms of names, except for the Fool remaining unknown, the others are already identified.

"Liu Dongming, alongside Wheel of Destiny’s Tisa and Magician Jack, three people, huh?" Fang Yuan said.

"No..." Tisa shook his head with a calm expression, "I only point the way, this is merely a clone."

"Is that so?"

Fang Yuan and Nangong Li both had a slight change in their eyes.

Though neither is skilled in divination, deduction, causality, or destiny arts, they understand one thing.

Those who wield such powers usually cannot lie; otherwise, changes in causality and destiny would have significant repercussions on themselves.

Without waiting for Fang Yuan and Nangong Li to investigate, Tisa spoke to Jack and Liu Dongming, "Then here, is left to you."

Liu Dongming slightly nodded.

Jack laughed, "No problem, we’ll accommodate the two True Monarchs well."

A flash of light enveloped Tisa, and suddenly he disappeared into a puff of Spirit Light at the original spot.

"So it’s just a clone." Fang Yuan sneered, scrutinizing Jack and the other. "Two people dare to come after us?"

Jack chuckled and said, "Of course not. We wouldn’t dare be careless against two True Monarchs. Naturally, we’ve made thorough preparations for this."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li’s mind began racing with thoughts.

It appears that Tisa used [Lover] and [The Hanged Man] to lock the deaths of the two of them.

Or rather...[Lover] the two were likely bait chosen by the Truth Secret Society. Otherwise, Tisa, Liu Dongming, and others wouldn’t have found them so quickly.

If that’s the case, the Truth Secret Society must have made ample preparations. Who knows what other dangers lie ahead for the two of them.

Unfortunately, on their side, there’s no master skilled in the Path of Destiny... well, not entirely absent. It’s said that the Vermilion Bird Imperial’s Second Chair Wenren is very good at the way of causality, but has not returned from the Southern Continent yet...

Beside him, Fang Yuan was not as patient and had already waved his hand to draw a cross-sword.

Since Jack and others were waiting here, it was bound to lead to a fight.

"Didn’t find you, yet you came instead... If you’re that confident, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeves!"

Fang Yuan drew his sword and slashed continuously, sending piercing sword light straight at the [Magician] Jack.

Jack’s expression shifted slightly. As dark light flickered, illusions continuously flashed and appeared around him.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The sword light cut through numerous illusions, and the many jagged peaks in the background were effortlessly sliced away!

As Jack slipped through several sword lights using illusions, he patted his chest with lingering fear: "That was close, truly amaz..."

Before he could finish the word "amazing," Jack’s vision blurred, suddenly realizing Fang Yuan had already disappeared.

At the same time, a chilling killing intent suddenly emerged inches from behind him!

"Not good...!"

"Swish!"

Fang Yuan swung his sword down, slicing Jack in half with an astonished expression on his face.

However, Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows, for there was no blood from this slash.

Meanwhile, Liu Dongming nearby showed no sign of action.

Having killed countless, Fang Yuan naturally knew he seemed to hit, but actually struck empty.

"Such a fast sword, worthy of Fang True Monarch..."

Jack, already dismembered, spoke with admiration, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Then, the Truth Cloak with 22 card patterns on it abruptly enlarged and flew towards Fang Yuan behind him.

Fang Yuan, having prepared for an ineffective strike, immediately withdrew.

Yet in his eyes, the cloak appeared as if it covered the sky, enveloping Fang Yuan in the blink of an eye!

Suddenly, the cloak trembled endlessly as if Fang Yuan was breaking through it.

Nangong Li’s expression changed slightly. He raised a finger and commanded: "Fire Sparrow!"

Fierce flames surged, and a flaming sparrow, two-person tall, flew out from in front of Nangong Li to aid Fang Yuan engulfed by the Truth Cloak.

However, as the flames burned, the Truth Cloak was easily destroyed as if it were ordinary fabric.

And Fang Yuan within... disappeared into thin air!

Nangong Li squinted, vaguely feeling traces of faint space fluctuations from within.

"Space Transfer?"

The Spirit Light flashed between Jack’s severed body, and like a spring, it suddenly reconnected.

Jack reached into his sleeve and magically pulled out another Truth Cloak to drape over him.

Then, Jack bowed to Nangong Li with a smile and said, "I am clumsy, this ’Big Living Transformation’, I hope Nangong True Monarch enjoys it."

Nangong Li’s voice deepened: "Where did you send Fang True Monarch?"

Jack smiled, "No need to rush, Nangong True Monarch. With Fang True Monarch’s terrifying strength, I couldn’t send him too far, just to two other formidable colleagues.

It can’t be helped; the two True Monarchs are too powerful, so I had to use a small trick to separate you two.

As for Nangong True Monarch, you will be hosted by Mr. Liu and me.

I hope this arrangement suits Nangong True Monarch?"

Nangong Li glanced at Jack and then turned his gaze to Liu Dongming...

The next moment, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly emanated from Nangong Li!

"Very well, today, I shall personally cleanse the traitors... Glorious Red Flame Divine Court!"

Instantly, flame light soared to the heavens, and infinite fierce flames rose, sketching out a majestic Red Flame Divine Court outside several of them within moments!

In an instant, the entire world had been filled with the Divine Court’s fire.

And Jack, smiling, and Liu Dongming, with a cold expression within, both had a somber look in their eyes!

Meanwhile...

Fang Yuan only felt the sky spinning, then suddenly appeared in a vast dark Duel Arena.

Ahead, two people in Truth uniforms stood across from him.

"Welcome to the Death Arena..."

A dry voice came from a silhouette cloaked in black, with no clear features or form.

"[Death God] Kira?" Fang Yuan assessed the figure, a chill emanating from his eyes. "Was it you who killed Lin Hao?"

"Indeed." Kira nodded slightly.

Murderous intent surged in Fang Yuan’s eyes!

Yet, in a blink, he fell eerily calm, infinite coldness emanating from him.

"Very well, since you didn’t come looking for me, and instead delivered yourself... then, die!"
