Two people who grew up together met again after many years, only to engage in combat. This must be said to be fate playing tricks, and also a kind of melancholy. However, the melancholy didn't appear in Yi Tian's heart, nor did it appear in Bai Lian's. Their faces remained calm, their eyes cold.

Under the coldness in Yi Tian's eyes, a blazing fire burned. Even though he had experienced life and death, even though he had weathered many storms, when facing Bai Lian, a slight ripple still stirred in his heart. But he carefully concealed this ripple away; during a fight, Yi Tian could always maintain the utmost calm, especially after experiencing so much.

A pair of eyes, gleaming with cold light, fixed on Bai Lian's retreating figure. After leveraging himself off the wall, he pounced towards Bai Lian. He knew what had happened to Bai Lian, as William had told him about it long ago. So Yi Tian knew he had to be ruthless with the current Bai Lian; as for other matters, they could wait until he brought Bai Lian back.

Moving like lightning, Yi Tian closed in, wanting to encircle Bai Lian and restrict her movements.

Bai Lian, no matter the situation now, she was a Superpower User, a Wind Element Superpower User.

The speed of the wind determined her speed. She retreated without a hint of expression on her face. Apparently, she didn't recognize Yi Tian—not recognizing in the sense of not remembering knowing Yi Tian before, rather than not knowing Yi Tian as a fierce menace. To her, Yi Tian was a threat to the Alliance's safety, someone who must be eradicated. Although, her main task today wasn't to capture Yi Tian, but to act as bait. She didn't understand why she ended up as bait, but it was an order from higher-ups, so there was no need for doubt.

Her hands moved continuously in front of her, green light flashing before her, forming Wind Barriers. Just at a glance, Bai Lian determined she was no match for Yi Tian; merely the Energy Fluctuation emanating from him was unbearable, let alone facing him head-on. So Bai Lian wisely chose defense, while continuing to retreat.

Her right hand flicked, and a faint Silver Light immediately flashed, shattering the green light into torrents that howled past her ears. Yi Tian's momentum remained unchanged, refusing to relent. He had finally found Bai Lian; how could he let her escape easily now? Even if there were mountains of daggers and seas of fire ahead, he'd charge forward without hesitation. Let alone now, when it was just him and Bai Lian here.

Seeing the green light shattered, Bai Lian felt a shock in her heart. She thought, no matter how bad it was, she could withstand Yi Tian's attack, yet she didn't expect the green light barriers she set up couldn't even withstand one strike from him and shattered immediately. Watching Yi Tian's approaching figure, some subtle changes finally appeared on Bai Lian's face. However, she quickly concealed these slight emotional changes, continuing to retreat without the slightest pause.

Even if Bai Lian was fast, she was still not as fast as this freak, Yi Tian. As soon as the green light shattered, Yi Tian was already close, reaching out to grab Bai Lian. That claw carried a domineering momentum, as if it wielded magic power to imprison everything.

She felt as if her body were sinking into a quagmire, even moving her neck was extremely difficult, let alone continuing to retreat. Watching Yi Tian's hand getting closer, Bai Lian's expression grew colder. She had thought of such a situation but didn't expect it to happen so soon. She was alarmed to discover that both she and the Alliance had greatly underestimated Yi Tian's power, and it was a massive mistake. However, it was impossible to change these things now.

Her body grew heavier, and her speed slower, to a degree Bai Lian couldn't believe. It seemed she was about to fall into the opponent's grasp.

Whoosh, a cold beam brushed past Bai Lian's hair, directly flying towards Yi Tian's face. The fierce momentum as if to penetrate all in this world.

Yi Tian reacted quickly; merely sensing the sharp momentum coming towards him made him flip hurriedly, dodging the incoming beam. However, this flip also made him miss the best chance to capture Bai Lian.

Bai Lian felt a lightness on her body and continued to retreat. As she retreated, several more beams shot past her, directly targeting Yi Tian. Under the beams' cover, Bai Lian narrowly escaped Yi Tian's pursuit and was about to vanish into the darkness.

Yi Tian angrily watched those flying beams, just a bit, he was just a bit away from bringing Bai Lian back, yet those Alliance guys jumped in to stir up troubles at this moment.

"Bastards!" With a thunderous roar, it seemed half the city trembled under Yi Tian's yell. Killing intent erupted violently, and Yi Tian instantly appeared to become a different person.

"Bai Lian!" Shouting loudly, Yi Tian still wanted to rush towards Bai Lian.

But by then, Bai Lian had already turned and vanished into the darkness, retreating without any reluctance. Before leaving, she glanced back, casting a cold look. What kind of eyes were those? What kind of look was that?

Indifferent to the extreme, not looking like seeing an enemy, nor a familiar person, but purely the gaze of someone looking at an unrelated stranger, eyes filled with the utmost cold emotion, devoid of any sentiment. She only glanced once before turning into the darkness, completely losing her trace.

Just as Yi Tian was about to chase, he was forced back by the crisscrossing beams flying towards him. His heart faintly ached, not because Bai Lian left so suddenly, but because Bai Lian's final gaze at him was so indifferent, so distant, as if she never knew him. To Yi Tian, who had been desperately searching for Bai Lian, this was undoubtedly the heaviest blow.

Holding a suffocating anger in his chest, the killing intent on his body flared even more fiercely. Coldly glancing at those who just emerged from the darkness, flames of slaughter danced in Yi Tian's eyes; no matter what, he wouldn't let these people go. He was just that close to bringing Bai Lian back, just that close, almost... just almost.

Uttering a low growl, Yi Tian suddenly crouched, limbs on the ground, then with a burst of force, the whole person suddenly darted out like an agile leopard. A mysterious shadow pounced toward those people, swiftly weaving through the crisscrossing beams, without the slightest muddiness; every movement was elegant to the extreme.

Bang, a muffled sound exploded in the darkness, followed by a burst of blood mist, without any screams, yet it was more frightening than any cries. However, none of these people felt fear, because the surrounding environment was too dark, no one saw how gruesome the state of the dead was, nor did anyone want to see. Because that would shake their firm beliefs, and once these beliefs wavered, they wouldn't need to face someone as ferocious as Yi Tian.

The dark environment had its pros and cons; the advantage was easy concealment, but the disadvantage was that it was difficult to discover opponents who also began to hide. This situation was bad, yet worse was an enemy in hiding with quick speed and cruel actions.
