Buck House now deeply regrets, regrets initially being mesmerized by Friedrich's persuasion to come to this godforsaken place. Had he followed his original plan, he would have long led his men to depart from this sanctuary area; although the risk of going to the next sanctuary is still high, it is way better than dying here facing this group of monsters.

Compared to Friedrich, Buck House's situation is even more difficult. After all, the ones ambushing him are two senior members of the Investigation Office, Zuo Huaxian and Mei Simiao. Moreover, these two lack the dignity of experts, using two-against-one to render Buck House in a dire state, yet leaving him with no way out.

At the moment Friedrich was intercepted by Pei Yan, Buck House was similarly stopped by Mei Simiao. The long Chaotic Heaven Silk wrapped sideways towards his waist. Feeling a surge of high-temperature heat wave coming at him, he hurriedly dodged to the side; however, waiting for him as he evaded was a Heaven and Earth Circle thrown his way.

Struck solidly on the back by the Heaven and Earth Circle, Buck House nearly spewed old blood, but another attack came from Zuo Huaxian, using his palm as a blade to send a flash of cold light slashing towards Buck House's throat. Seeing this, Buck House had no time to dodge and could only crystallize his arms to block. Who knew that Zuo Huaxian's hand changed direction midway, his body squatted, and his palm glided upwards along Buck House's arm.

Looking at the elder whose movements were as graceful as dancing, turning in the air and bringing up a splash of blood before steadily landing back on the ground, Buck House finally felt a sharp pain from his arm. Looking down, a slice of flesh had been scraped off the outside of his arm, blood dripping drop by drop. The crystallization defense he was so proud of had been effortlessly broken by the opponent!

Before he could recover from his astonishment, the familiar heat wave surged again from behind. The two of them attacking alternately finally stirred the fierceness in Buck House's demonic blood. With a loud shout, he unsheathed his long sword from his waist and swung it backhandedly.

Clang! Clang! Clang! A series of clashes echoed, and Buck House's longsword engaged with Mei Simiao's Fire-tipped Spear more than ten times in the blink of an eye. Mei Simiao grew more vigorous with each fight while Buck House became more and more alarmed, with the strange old man from behind sticking close to him again, close to the ground.

The longsword deflected Mei Simiao's stabbing Fire-tipped Spear, the crucible body of the spear scorching the crystalline surface of his face, burning his cheeks painfully. At the same time, he stumbled slightly underfoot, almost tripping over. A glimpse from the corner of his eye caught Zuo Huaxian sliding below him, severing his Achilles tendon.

Puff! Before Buck House could adjust his position, the unexpected Heaven and Earth Circle hit his back again, making him spew blood and fall forward. Awaiting him was Mei Simiao's lance thrusting straight towards his throat.

"Ha!" Buck House, his eyes red, shouted angrily, allowing Mei Simiao's lance to penetrate his already vaporized throat. His body leaned forward, turning his palms into claws to grasp Mei Simiao's head.

"Wind and Fire Wheel!" Mei Simiao whispered, his foot on the Wind and Fire Wheel allowing him to release his grip on the spear and retreat rapidly. However, Buck House wouldn't let him escape so easily. As soon as the spear was withdrawn from his body, he firmly clutched it with his bare hands despite the high temperature, pulling back forcefully.

One pulling inward, the other outward, immediately putting them in a tug of war. At this moment, a flash of cold light struck from beneath Buck House. He knew it was that old fellow causing trouble again, leaving him no choice but to release his arm to evade this attack.

"Despicable scoundrels! You succeed in angering me! I'll make you pay for your shameless actions!" Buck House glanced at Friedrich, who had completed his transformation into a Demon God not far away, then looked at the two who were relentless beside him and said venomously. He now understood that simply running away would not rid him of their pursuit; only by dealing with the two could he have a slim chance of survival.

Without further hesitation, boundless demonic qi surged from his body, soon enveloping him. Naturally, Mei Simiao wouldn't let him act recklessly. With a wave of his hand, the Chaotic Heaven Silk swept across.

The red silk swept smoothly across the empty black fog without any hindrance. Mei Simiao frowned and began looking around for the enemy's trail. At this point, suddenly an icy voice came from behind: "Do the people from the cornerstone plane lack manners? Can't you wait even a moment?"

At the first word of this sentence, Mei Simiao shivered, ignored turning around, and thrust his spear behind. However, before completing this motion, the voice came from in front of him, seeing Buck House instantaneously manifesting in front of him. The order to expedite the retreat using the Wind and Fire Wheel underneath him came too late; with a slip of hand, a shadow of intense pain came from his chest as his chest garments tore, leaving four bloody gashes.

Turning back into black fog to evade the sneak attack from Zuo Huaxian, Buck House swiftly appeared behind him and mimicked his earlier move, grabbing at his mid-back, wishing fervently to end the old fellow's life with this strike.

"Carefree Traveler!" With a light shout from Zuo Huaxian, Buck House's hand barely scraped across his body. Seeing this, his eyes narrowed, while Mei Simiao, ignoring his injuries, once again came charging with his long spear.

Buck House, moving at extreme speed, side-stepped this attack. With a flick of his hand, a shower of pin-like deathly aura shot from his palm into Mei Simiao.

The moment the deathly qi touched Mei Simiao's body, his wounds that had begun to heal suddenly burst open. The four thin claw scars immediately turned into four long, gaping wounds, bleeding profusely as raw flesh turned out. Startled by the excruciating pain, Mei Simiao spat a mouthful of blood and stumbled to the ground.

Just as he was about to press his advantage, he suddenly heard a low shout from the side: "In Beiming resides a fish, known as Kun!" As soon as these words were spoken, Buck House felt the ground slightly tremor. Looking sideways, a massive whale made of water emerged out of nowhere, impressive and charging towards him.

Helpless, Buck House had no choice but to retreat quickly. To his surprise, no matter how fast he increased his speed, the giant whale closely pursued. Realizing something amiss, he steadied himself to face the whale head-on. The next moment, he felt intensely humiliated!

At the moment of collision with the whale, this extraordinarily realistic whale vanished without a trace. When he regained his senses, Zuo Huaxian was already supporting the fallen Mei Simiao, leaping out of his attack range.

"Another damned illusion technique, how dare you mock me twice!" Feeling his dignity trampled, Buck House roared furiously, charging straight at Zuo Huaxian and Mei Simiao.

"Three Heads Six Arms!" With a shout, Mei Simiao pushed away Zuo Huaxian, who was supporting him, and charged angrily.
