Outside the swampy woodland, Hal Roger was sitting on a large rock with his eyes closed, surrounded by only two disciples standing guard, waiting for something.

Suddenly, the closed eyes on his serious face opened, and in addition to the coldness that made people a little frightened, there was also a trace of excitement and anticipation.

Shi Shiran who came out of the swamp was naturally Zod, who won the battle with Jay, had already found time in the forest to tidy up his appearance, and now he was neatly dressed, and he looked energetic with the spirit after his strength was improved.

Without Hal Roger's order, the two apprentices beside him immediately got up and rushed towards Zod.

The lock knife in the hand looks no less than Jay's skills after the two of them cooperate, and it is naturally impossible for him to be an ordinary disciple who can always serve by the side of the door master, and it is very likely that he will be the second and third place in the second and third positions except for Jay, the chief disciple, but since Jay, who is the first person, has been defeated, can the weaker person and the other be able to get the current Zod?

Apparently not!

Twice 'Shifting Shapes and Shadows', the afterimage had already caused the opponent to fall to the ground with a bang, and then Zod, who had turned into a physical entity, still maintained an unhurried pace and walked towards Hal Roger.

"Finally broke through!"

"You're disappointed?" Zod's reaction to Hal Roger seemed very calm, perhaps because of the different realms of strength, and the mood seemed to have become different.

"Hahaha...... On the contrary, do you remember that I said that you would definitely reach my realm, although you went astray and delayed a lot of time, but now you have done it, at least I am not wrong!"

"Should you say this to your first disciple, or do you know that he is now dead and will hit me again?"

"Jay is very talented, but if you want to become stronger, you have to pay a corresponding price, and if you die at your hands, you can only say that you are unlucky!"

"He should really listen to what you have to say!"

"......" Hal Roger saw that Zord's mood began to fluctuate, and did not say anything, but waited for the following.

"How many years have passed, your hypocrisy and ruthlessness have not changed at all, and how many lies and deceptions have been used to imprison these poor souls, making them believe that you have made up the so-called 'close family', and that they may really call each other brothers and take care of each other, but it is the greatest lie to serve you as a father.

You gave them hope, but you sent them to die one by one, why do you have to live such a cruel life when you can live in peace, not to mention that you have to go through hardships to survive in chaos, in fact, it is to maintain that ridiculous self-esteem and humble and timid anger in your heart, isn't it!

Like Jay, you boasted and encouraged you as the most promising disciple, but after your defeat you abandoned me and praised me, the traitor you have always hated!"

"Who told you! I've always felt sorry for you, and now I'm really relieved to see the results I wanted......"

"Shut up, if it's Jay standing in front of you right now, will you say the same thing?"

"Of course!" said Hal Roger.

"You ......!" Zod didn't expect the other party to admit his sarcastic words, although he had always disagreed with the old monster's character, but he really didn't expect the other party to be so shameless.

"It seems that you haven't understood it all along! Well, since you have advanced to the Holy Rank, you are qualified to listen to me tell you the truth!

You may think that the current situation is a surprise that I didn't expect, but I have to tell you that this is the result that I am happy to see, or one of the results that I am happy to see!"

The obvious difference from Zod's somewhat stunned expression at the moment was that Hal Roger's face flushed very obviously from excitement.

"Allowing you and Jay to fight to the death is the only way to break through, no matter which of the two of you wins in the end, there is a great possibility of breaking through to the Holy Order, and the next task of the person standing in front of me after being praised is to die under my sword......!

I said earlier that if you want to gain a firm foothold in this world, you can only keep getting stronger, and the most effective shortcut is to keep fighting with the strong and experience the feeling between life and death, and the stronger the strength of the opponent, the more you will gain.

I discovered this truth more than 20 years ago, and I have been trying to endure humiliation all along, just to cultivate an opponent of my own strength and enjoy the thrill of cutting him personally, and now I can finally do it!"

Looking at the excited Hal Roger, a look of anger appeared on Zod's surprised face.

"You madman, the reason why you set up the 'Blood Killing Gate' to recruit disciples and kill more than one is actually for this! I said before that you were hypocritical and cruel, and I really looked down on you! You old thing is a brute with no humanity at all!"

"Stupid, this opportunity is very rare for me, and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, if it were not useful to me, do you think you orphans would have survived on this land until now?

Feed your lives, train you to become a real strong, and what I want in return is nothing more than a fair duel, killing and nurturing power is the only way for anyone in my sect, and it works for me and the same for you, as long as you can win against me, your gain will never be less than mine, maybe you can reach my current strength in one go, so what are you not satisfied with!"

"Ha! Fair? Do you really dare to say it! A newbie who has just advanced wants to fight a sinister old monster like you, is it possible to win? Anyway, you have been waiting for more than 20 years, so wouldn't it be fairer to wait for more than 20 years, and when I have stabilized my strength, I will fight to the death with you who are about to die!"

Hal Roger ignored Zod's taunts, and instead took out the 'Cursed Horn' that he had collected from Zod's body and held it in his hand, pulling away from the stance, as if he was ready to do it directly.

Seeing this, Zode snorted coldly, although he knew that he was still at a disadvantage, at least he was no longer afraid of the other party in terms of momentum.

Knowing that it was facing the final moment of life and death, he no longer hid it and took out the props directly from the space ring.

'King's Guardian' and 'Bloody Assassin' got their hands on it, the silver light on the long sword and the scarlet on the dagger flashed with a dazzling brilliance, and even the spare weapons that Xiao Yi prepared for him were high-level epic-level masterpieces.

The terms of the two sides seem to be evenly matched, and an epic battle is on the verge of breaking out.
