The flat ground that was originally paved with green bricks had completely turned into ruins at this moment. Broken bricks and gravel flew everywhere. If anyone barged in, they would instantly be minced into meat paste by the biting wind!

However, even in such a dangerous place, Lin Ran still walked forward without changing his expression. The strong wind that was enough to cut bones and break tendons kept hitting him, but to him, it was like a spring breeze.

Soon, the distance between the two of them was reduced to less than a hundred steps.

Lin Ran stood still. With a flash of white light in his hand, Thunderball appeared on his hand.

As his internal energy flowed into the sword, wisps of lightning began to flicker on the smooth surface of the sword, like clouds before a thunderstorm.

“Don’t ask anything unnecessary.”

Lin Ran said coldly, “Fight or surrender?”

“Do you think this question is meaningful?”

Liu Hongshan replied coldly. The strange smile on his face gave people a chill down their spine. “We both know that once this battle starts, it will be a fight to the death… The question you should ask now is, are you ready to die?”

Lin Ran didn’t answer. Now that he had cultivated the Three Essence Sword Technique—Moonlight to perfection, he was already comparable to the ninth level of the Half-Saint Realm. If he still couldn’t defeat Liu Hongshan, he had nothing to complain about.

As opposed to his life and death, Lin Ran was more worried about another problem.

As if having guessed what Lin Ran was thinking, Liu Hongshan sneered and said faintly, “Even if you’re prepared to die, what about the people in the palace behind you?”

“The battle between two Half-Saints can easily destroy half of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, let alone a palace, right?”

Hearing this, Lin Ran frowned. This was what he was worried about and the main reason why he didn’t make a move!

Back then, when two grandmasters were fighting, with a wave of their hands, more than ten cities were reduced to rubbles.

Later on, it was fortunate that a senior grandmaster stepped in to stop it, so the situation did not get worse. However, even so, that battle still caused hundreds of thousands of people to die and hundreds of thousands to be displaced!

It was also because of this battle that the countries agreed that those above the Grandmaster Realm were not allowed to participate in war.

That was only between grandmasters. If two Half-Saints attacked at full force, it would cause a large-scale destruction. Even Lin Ran couldn’t imagine it, but he was certain that the palace and even the entire capital would be reduced to ashes!

“That’s what you’re planning, right?”

Lin Ran looked at Liu Hongshan and sneered. “You chose to show up in the palace because you wanted to use the lives of the people in the palace and even the capital to threaten me so that I wouldn’t dare to use my full strength.”

Liu Hongshan smiled and continued, “I admit that you’re much stronger than the last time we met, but I’m one realm higher than you. It’s impossible for you to kill me without using your full strength.”

“If you think it doesn’t matter if you kill me at the cost of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, feel free to do it. If you don’t dare, leave so that I can continue with my plan.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hongshan suddenly retracted his aura.

Lin Ran’s aura was counterbalancing Liu Hongshan’s. Unable to retract his aura in time, Lin Ran shot out and instantly sent Liu Hongshan flying!

This was the first time Lin Ran managed to land a strike on Liu Hongshan, but he was not happy at all because he knew that this bit of damage was no different from scratching an itch for Liu Hongshan.

As expected.

After Liu Hongshan flew dozens of feet back, he flipped over and landed steadily on the ground. Then, he sheathed the Dragon Roar Dagger and walked back with his hands behind his back. From the looks of it, he was very chill!

Seeing how arrogant Liu Hongshan was, Lin Ran couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He clenched his fists tightly, but he could retract his aura.

Otherwise, once Liu Hongshan attacked, the palace behind Lin Ran would be the first to be destroyed.

“What should I do? What should I do?”

Seeing Liu Hongshan approaching, Lin Ran began to shout crazily in his heart!

He had a backup plan, but in order to execute that plan, he had to anger Liu Hongshan first and lure him to the place where they could fight freely.

“Stop!”

Lin Ran suddenly shouted coldly. Thunderball in his hand emitted a few electric arcs, instantly leaving a few burn marks on the ground a few inches in front of Liu Hongshan’s toes.

“What?”

Liu Hongshan stood still with a teasing smile on his face. “Are you ready to attack?”

“No, I just want to ask you one last question.”

Seeing Liu Hongshan nod, Lin Ran asked coldly, “Do you really think the Great Yong Dynasty will thank you?”

Liu Hongshan looked puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“You were once the general of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. Even if you join them again, how much do you think they will trust you?”

Lin Ran sneered at Liu Hongshan, his cold eyes filled with pity. “Don’t forget how powerful you are. They will definitely be wary of you.”

Liu Hongshan did not say anything, but his eyes were clearly colder than before.

Seeing this, Lin Ran continued, “To them, you’re just a hound. If the prey is gone, you’ll be useless.”

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Liu Hongshan finally couldn’t help but scold angrily, “I’m blood-related to the current emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty. We share the same bloodline. He definitely won’t distrust me!”

“Do you actually believe that?”

Lin Ran sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. “I don’t know what you’ve done in the past sixty years, but you should have contacted the Great Yong Dynasty long ago, right? They don’t trust you much. You should know this better than me.”

If the Great Yong Dynasty trusted him 100%, this war would definitely not have dragged on until 60 years later.

When Liu Hongshan heard this, his expression froze. Then, a powerful aura that was almost out of control erupted!
