The Shadow Stream Master said coldly, "Do you think breaking through Musashi Mountain means you've won?"
"It looks that way to me," Ye Fan stated calmly, without a hint of fear.
The Shadow Stream Master continued, "You're wrong. Bringing your elite troops here will only hasten their deaths. Even alone, I am more than capable of annihilating you!"
For some reason, the Shadow Stream Master sounded supremely confident.
"Stop spouting such nonsense! I'll be the one to end you!" Nangong bellowed. With his fiery temper, he naturally wanted to charge forward and kill the man.
But Ye Fan held him back, shaking his head. Nangong trusted Ye Fan's judgment and refrained from advancing rashly.
"I'll handle it," Ye Fan said.
