"Let's go, since you suggested a different place to die, I'll fulfill your wish."

With that, Duke Herbert III walked straight outside.

He believed Yang Yan would not take the opportunity to escape.

"Wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

Yang Yan glanced at Han Ruyu, who was hesitant to speak, and said with a smile.

"Be careful, if things can't be done, you should leave first and don't worry about me."

Han Ruyu said seriously.

She thought that Yang Yan was staying to fight such a monster because of her.

"Hehe! You women, don't you believe in your man's skills? Haven't I conquered you these past two nights?"

"Alright, you just wait here honestly for me, I'll deal with you properly when I get back, I haven't enjoyed your reward yet!"

Yang Yan said with a mischievous grin.

"Hmm! I'm waiting for you to come back and deal with me, you can do whatever you want then. As for the reward I mentioned earlier, it can even be doubled!"

Han Ruyu said with a seductive smile but very seriously.

"Truly a seductress."

Seeing Han Ruyu's enchanting face, a certain part of Yang Yan's body immediately swelled.

If it weren't for Duke Herbert III waiting outside, he would have taken Han Ruyu back already.

The manor was naturally vast due to spanning two countries.

And in the vicinity, besides this manor, there were no other buildings.

Looking around, there was nothing but desert and more desert.

"Logically, there haven't been few who've died by your hand, so why do you still care about those ants' lives? Are you a sanctimonious hypocrite?"

Duke Herbert III said with a smile.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable being so fake? We're about to fight to the death, yet you still wear that expression."

Yang Yan looked at Duke Herbert III with confusion.

Upon hearing this, Duke Herbert III was taken aback for a moment, then said seriously to Yang Yan:

"It's a habit. After all, wandering in darkness for so long requires a guise of hypocrisy."

"Tsk! Really boring."

Yang Yan said, drawing Starry Night from the void, with Illusory Night appearing on him.

"Tut tut! That must be the legendary Star Night, looks quite powerful. When you die later, can you leave it as a trade-off? I'll protect that woman of yours, how's that?"

Duke Herbert III said with a smile.

"I'll protect my own woman, don't bother yourself."

Yang Yan said coldly.

"Protect yourself? That may not be the case! Just now I heard the young Cavilla saying he'll tie up your woman. I guess if you don't return soon, he'll make a move."

Duke Herbert III said gleefully.

Upon hearing Duke Herbert III's words, Yang Yan squinted his eyes fiercely.

Such things Duke Herbert III wouldn't lie about, meaning someone really has designs on Han Ruyu.

Of course, this guy is saying this under these circumstances merely to distract him and create more opportunities.

"Hehe! Finally worried, aren't you? Since you're already here, don't think about leaving. You're already a dead man, why bother caring about that woman?"

Duke Herbert III continued to provoke Yang Yan.

Yang Yan did not speak, only squinting his eyes slightly at Duke Herbert III.

At this moment, the killing intent from him could no longer be suppressed, and the surrounding air began to solidify.

Seeing Yang Yan's expression, Duke Herbert III inadvertently furrowed his brow:

"You Easterners have a saying, 'Fame breeds worthy men,' it really describes you now."

Yang Yan sneered:

"Talk's cheap! Hurry up, I have other things to do."

Worried about Han Ruyu, he no longer wasted words with Duke Herbert III but directly launched an attack.

With Star Night in his hand fiercely slashing down, a long trench instantly appeared in the desert.

"No wonder you're the new Moonlight Emperor, truly incredibly strong! However, with just this level of power, never mind me, even an average Titled Powerhouse could block it!"

"This doesn't match the killing intent you have! If that's really the case, Poseidon's death seems quite unjust."

Duke Herbert III said with a cold laugh.

"There's a lot of nonsense! I said I have things to do. Starlight Slash!"

Yang Yan shouted angrily, then slashed down with Star Night held high.

However, this time was different from earlier, as Star Night slashed down, the starlight in the sky also began to flicker.

Feeling the change in the surrounding breath, Duke Herbert III became serious.

Although Yang Yan's attack intensity wasn't much to him, the opponent was, after all, someone who had slain the Sea God.

Although the Sea God was the weakest of the three western giants, his strength was still formidable.

Accompanied by Yang Yan's slashes, the stars in the heavens continually shot starlight at Duke Herbert III.

Amazingly, Duke Herbert III didn't even dodge the starlight shot by the stars but let them shoot directly onto him.

And the starlight wasn't ineffective, each beam that fell pierced through his body.

Yet he seemed indifferent to the starlight piercing his body.

"Shouldn't be... is this all the strength you have? Although this does meet the standards of a Titled Powerhouse now, isn't it too weak!"

Duke Herbert III looked at Yang Yan in confusion and asked solemnly.

"This guy is really unexpected indeed..."

Yang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Originally thinking Duke Herbert III would be slightly stronger than an average Titled Powerhouse, it now seemed his strength surpassed even Sea God Poseidon.

If he didn't get serious tonight, there would be no leaving.

He never worried Duke Herbert III could really kill him.

However, he was very concerned about what Duke Herbert III had said:

Bieber Cavilla was going to target Han Ruyu!

"What happened? Is that all? Wasn't it you who killed Poseidon, but someone else?"

As Yang Yan lost his concentration for a moment, Duke Herbert III was already before him.

As his hand brushed across Yang Yan's chest, blood immediately surged from Yang Yan's chest.

"Hmm..."

Yang Yan groaned, then retreated swiftly.

He retreated a good six or seven steps before barely stabilizing himself.

His chest had been drenched with blood.
