Opening: Me, I become stronger when I am beaten!

He defeated all the subordinates of King Nan, even the current boss, and now he finally coerced everyone to submit.

After doing all this, Ye Chen went straight back to report.

Back at Lan Ao's house, Lan Ao was sitting in the lobby with a relaxed look.

"My lord, once the Southern King dies, the rest of the people are already in disarray, and now they have been conquered by me."

Hearing this, Lan Ao pretended to be shocked, and took a breath at that time.

He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so efficient. It has exceeded my expectations. You actually conquered them all within half an hour."

Lan Ao got up slowly and paced the room, seeming to be thinking.

After a while, he turned around and said, "In this way, from today onwards, all the affairs in the southern part of the Black Territory will be entrusted to you. As for their remaining members, they will all be entrusted to you as your reward."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly surprised.

This time, Lan Ao was so generous that he directly handed over nearly one-sixth of the territory of the Black Territory to his own management.

Next, in terms of power, I am afraid that the two will soon be on equal footing.

But Ye Chen still refused.

"Thank you, my lord, but I'm about to say goodbye, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you any more from now on."

"why?"

Lan Ao looked deeply at Ye Chen, obviously a little surprised.

"I came down to the Black Realm just for the sake of experience. Now that I have fought in the duel arena and entered the dark abyss to explore, practitioners will be able to do whatever they want. If they are bound by external things, it may be difficult to improve in this life. .”

Ye Chen speaks in a reasonable and orderly manner, which is indeed in line with the habits of practitioners, especially some idle monks, who are generally not willing to work for certain forces or institutions.

Of course, what's more, now he has obtained the blood essence of the dark dragon and the essence of fire, which have not yet been fully refined.

As for the old monster on the seventh floor of the dark abyss, it is too terrifying. At least for a while, it is impossible for him to step in again.

Calculating the time, he should go back.

Lan Ao thought for a moment, and seemed a little troubled.

On the one hand, he was unwilling to lose such a right-hand man, and on the other hand, he was suspicious in his heart. He always suspected that there was a problem.

After thinking for a while, he still didn't stop him after all.

"Since this is the case, then I won't hold back any more. There is still a long way to go. I hope you will ascend to the altar as soon as possible."

After Ye Chen thanked him, he left directly.

Speaking of which, he is still a bit unclear about Lan Ao.

This person has a lot of scheming. Although everything looks normal from the outside, his real strength is somewhat hard to see through.

As one of the five kings of the Black Territory, Lan Ao is on an equal footing with the other four, but he is also stronger than the other four.

It is already a little strange that such a strong man did not dominate alone.

After leaving the duel field, Ye Chen walked slowly towards the periphery.

Feeling the hustle and bustle of the surroundings, what is different from the outside world is that there are no monks from all walks of life here, all of them are physically trained, and they don't know all kinds of martial arts. It is very safe in such a place.

Knowing that we have come to the outskirts, the place is already sparsely populated and surrounded by lush greenery.

"Ow."

Suddenly, Gouzi barked twice, grabbed Ye Chen's clothes corner, and was about to speed up towards the exit.

It's kind of puzzling as to what happened.

Seeing that Gouzi was a little anxious, Ye Chen also paid attention to it.

Gouzi's senses are more acute than those of humans, apparently aware of hidden dangers.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen hurriedly took the dog and left.

One person and one dog flew with the sword at a very fast speed. Ye Chen pushed the sword with all his strength and had already increased the speed to the maximum, so he wanted to leave this place quickly.

However, he was still a step too late.

The mountain protection formation in the front of the black domain has already been opened, and it is opened in reverse. It has no blocking effect on the outsiders, but it prevents the people inside the formation from taking half a step.

Ye Chen was startled, unexpectedly, Lan Ao actually stopped him from leaving.

It is very difficult to forcibly break the formation now, especially in this situation, where dangers are everywhere. Under such circumstances, there is no way to break the formation.

Turning around and looking, at this time on the avenue, a figure is walking slowly, very leisurely, he is Lan Ao.

Seeing Lan Ao coming behind him, the dog barked even more, and stood behind Ye Chen, barking wildly.

"You have clearly promised to let me leave, why do you want to stop me here? Could it be that you want to go back on your word?"

Ye Chen asked in a cold voice.

Now the flame essence in the body has not been fully refined, and there are still some injuries in the body, so it is definitely not suitable for fighting now.

If he fights now, he can only display [-]% of his strength, which is enough to decide the outcome for people of their level.

Lan Ao smiled lightly, and then asked loudly.

"It seems that you have already slain the dark dragon and obtained a treasure, but why do you sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits!"

Ye Chen frowned slightly, apparently Lan Ao already knew all this, but how did he know? Was it just a guess.

Anyway, the situation is not good now.

"Why do you say that? The dark dragon is powerful and has been bred for countless years. Why do you think I can kill the dragon?" Ye Chen asked back.

Lan Ao walked over slowly, and after a while, the two were only ten steps away from each other.

The four eyes met, and there was a little sullenness in the eyes of the two of them, as well as a gradually rising fighting spirit.

"Even if you didn't slay the dark dragon, why did Ninghe want to see us being killed by the giant dragon, and watch us from the sidelines? Do you know that I lost my best brother!"

Lan Ao is still following the pretext of starting a war.

Now he is not sure whether Ye Chen has really benefited, but he still has to do it.

Ye Chen also felt that it was useless to talk too much, it was better to fight more directly.

The two drew their swords at the same time, their eyes met, and there was a murderous look in their eyes.

"There is no one else around here. If you want to kill people and seize treasures, there is no need to make any excuses. As long as I die, no one will know about it." Ye Chen said lightly.

Hearing this, Lan Ao smiled, and he laughed happily.

"Very well, since that's the case, I'm going to show my cards. I'm coveting your treasures, and I suspect that you killed the dark dragon and got benefits. I just want to snatch everything from you."

"Suffer to death!"

As Lan Ao said, he swung the big sword directly, and with a violent wind on the blade, he slashed out with all his strength.

Ye Chen held the long sword horizontally in front of him, parrying head-on.

The two long swords collided with each other, and the first time they met each other, the two were evenly tied.
