Chapter 1344 Confrontation With The Black-robed Man

Every second felt like a real struggle.

Lilly couldn't even catch her breath. It was the first time she had encountered such a tense

confrontation, a feeling much like what her father had described - a sniper's intense showdown, a test

of composure.

She needed to stay calm and analyze the situation carefully.

Lilly forced herself to adopt her father's perspective.

The mysterious figure in the black robe probably knew of her existence.

However, questions abounded. Why did he possess such overwhelming power compared to her and

Ivan yet remain hidden?

If I were the mysterious figure in the black robe...

Lilly began to put herself in the shoes of the black-robed man.

If I were the mysterious figure in the black robe, hiding behind the frigid mountain, I would be worried

about my ability to emerge victorious against the opponent.

Since I have already set up an ambush here, it means that I must have discovered something before

my arrival…

Wait, he must have discovered the Earth Goddess. Or perhaps some other clue that makes him certain

that Ivan will come here.

So, if I were in his shoes, I would know who is hiding in the shadows right now. It is unmistakably Ivan...

Lilly paused her thoughts at this point.

She had a strong feeling that her speculations were probably correct. The black-robed man had

undoubtedly discovered their presence, knowing that she and Ivan were hidden here. He clearly had

the power to overpower both of them, yet he refrained from making a move and chose to remain

cautious.

This suggested that the man might suspect they had other allies hidden away.

That's right!

A revelation struck her. The Earth Goddess had mentioned that only Emperor Eastmount had

developed spirit consciousness in the entire Underworld.

The black-robed man must suspect that she had Emperor Eastmount as an ally.

A gleam of understanding shone in Lilly's eyes as she glanced at Ivan.

Ivan's eyes showed signs of curiosity.

Fortunately, their spirits resonated undividedly, unlike limbs or eyes.

Lilly extended another part of her spirit consciousness into her ring, found a pen and paper, and swiftly

wrote down her speculations.

Then, she discreetly brought it out and showed it to Ivan.

Ivan's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but show a hint of admiration. He squinted slightly

and thought about the powerful weapon he possessed.

Lilly gently turned the paper over and placed a pen in his hand.

On the paper, he wrote the words "fox in tiger's clothing" and "powerful weapon."

Lilly grasped his intent immediately.

After all the time they had spent in the Nether, she had forgotten to ask him why he disguised himself

as a young boy. However, he had mentioned having a powerful weapon during their conversation.

He had even expressed his intention to use this powerful weapon against the black-robed man.

Back then, she had been intrigued by the idea of the powerful weapon and hadn't had the chance to

ask him how he planned to use it. She had solely inquired about its nature.

In her recollection, the powerful weapon had been shown to her by Ivan. He had chanced upon it while

being pursued and had found himself amid a teleportation formation. He wasn't entirely sure where it

had transported him, but the items inside felt like they had frozen in time.

Everything within the cave felt suspended in time, untouched by the passage of years.

However, in the place where the powerful weapon was placed, the fruits on the table were frozen in a

way that wasn't icy but seemed like time had been frozen.

This powerful weapon could halt everything around it, including living beings.

"I've experienced being frozen myself, and it's something I still shudder to think about. If it weren't for

my understanding of this peculiar artifact and my determination to subdue it, I wouldn't have made it

out again."

These were Ivan's words during their previous conversation.

The name of this powerful weapon was the Wheel of Fate, and it was related to reincarnation and time.

As Lilly stared at the words "fox in tiger's clothing" and "powerful weapon," her mind raced with

possibilities. Then, she looked at Ivan.

The two exchanged glances and had a general plan in mind.

They needed to find a way to get close to the black-robed man. Since Ivan hadn't yet achieved full

mastery over the Wheel of Fate, they needed to be near to wield it effectively.

Once they could "freeze" their adversary, they would seize the opportunity to capture him.

Just as Ivan and Lilly were strategizing on how to set a trap, the black-robed man made his move.

Lilly's heart skipped a beat—time was running out.

She tightly grabbed Ivan's hand, and Ivan's eyes showed determination as he pushed her away.

Though words remained unspoken, the two shared a mutual understanding.

With gritted teeth, Lilly summoned a golden light. She used the teleportation formation to instantly

escape from their hiding place.

Meanwhile, Ivan stayed behind, and he was the first to be discovered by the black-robed man.

The reason for this decision was that Lilly could teleport, but Ivan couldn't.

Additionally, Ivan possessed a deeper familiarity with the black-robed adversary. Thus, he willingly

allowed her to depart, and Lilly displayed no hesitation in her departure. She knew that any hesitation

could delay their chance for victory.

Both of them couldn't leave together because of the "fox in tiger's clothing" plan. If the black-robed man

stumbled upon Ivan alone, he would suspect he was the sole player.

As long as they could delay, there would be a vulnerability and an opportunity.

"It's you!" The moment the black-robed man saw Ivan, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He

reached out his hand toward Ivan, and his fingertips were surrounded by a swirling bad aura.

Ivan immediately retreated. Although he was no match for the black-robed man, he had the skill to

escape.

A mocking grin crept onto his face as he commented, "I didn't expect you were hiding here! Our guess

was correct."

Our guess?

The black-robed man muttered to himself and realized that Ivan had intentionally hinted at something.

He understood that Ivan was trying to make him suspicious.

This guy excelled at playing mind games, but this time, it was for real.

While fighting Ivan, the black-robed man had to divide his attention and put more effort into guarding

against hidden threats.

Ivan struggled to resist, but within three moves, he was seriously injured. The black-robed man directly

struck the location of his heart with a palm.

If Ivan hadn't forcibly twisted his body and shifted an inch, he would have been finished by now. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

His face instantly turned pale, but he knew very well that this was just the beginning.

Once the die was cast, there was no turning back. Either he and Lilly would kill their opponent, or the

opponent would kill them.

He was trapped with no escape, and there was no possibility of retreating!
