Not long after, the people guarding the cave entrance suddenly received some news. Ning Beichen saw them move all at once, and those who were smoking outside extinguished their cigarette butts.
About ten minutes later, the guards at the cave entrance shouted.
"Ryan has escaped from inside, everyone be careful."
The guards at the entrance immediately took their positions, forming a triangular formation, and drew long swords from their backs.
The long swords were strapped to their backs with leather sheaths, and if you didn't look closely, you would only think they were sticks.
No wonder the Special Affairs Department had them guard the cave entrance and exit.
Soon, a figure shot out from the cave. The three guards outside couldn't stop him. With a few bangs, the guards outside were sent flying far away.
However, Ning Beichen was surprised to find that they were not dead. It wasn't that they had cultivation, but that they were wearing inner armor.
This kind of inner armor was very special. In terms of hardness, it was not as effective as a bulletproof vest, but it could block the internal energy of martial artists.
Of course, it couldn't block everything, it was just a layer of protection. As long as they didn't encounter a strong person like Ning Beichen, or were hit in the heart, they still had a chance to survive.
The person who rushed out of the cave was indeed Ryan, but this Ryan gave Ning Beichen a feeling that his strength had become even greater.
"Is there really someone who is immortal?"
Ning Beichen was very curious about Ryan, who could resurrect.
"No!"
"Last time we dealt with Ryan, he just exploded into a shower of blood and some dismembered remains. No one could be sure that he was really dead."
Ning Beichen had heard that in ancient times, the Demonic Sect had a great art called "Heavenly Demon Dissolution," which was very similar to Ryan's situation that day.
Heavenly Demon Dissolution was not used to perish with the enemy. On the contrary, it was used for escape, and no one could stop it.
Ning Beichen had also read ancient texts, and only knew of the Great Art of Heavenly Demon Dissolution, but found no records about its limitations.
The thoughts in Ning Beichen's mind flashed by. While it seemed like he had thought a lot, it had only been an instant outside, less than a second.
Ning Beichen frowned slightly, not knowing if Ryan was using the Great Art of Heavenly Demon Dissolution. If it really was, it would be a big problem.
Ning Beichen did not find it strange at all why the Western Holy See would have the demonic arts of his Eastern ancient country.
The Holy See had existed for a very long time, older than many sects in the Eastern ancient country.
Especially during times of war, who knew how many good things were taken away by Westerners, or how many people defected to the West. It was not strange for the Holy See to possess the Great Art of Heavenly Demon Dissolution or the inheritance of the Demonic Sect.
Don't think that Westerners are all fools. How could they not know the power of the Eastern ancient country at that time? Naturally, they would try every means to obtain and study the cultivation methods of the Eastern ancient country.
After all, there were no dynasties that lasted forever. The Eastern ancient country had gone through so many hardships, and many of its treasures had disappeared or were stolen.
Even if Westerners were pigs, after so many years of research, they would have gained something, not to mention that there was no shortage of traitors in this world.
However, this was just Ning Beichen's speculation. It was still difficult to say whether it was true or not.
Ning Beichen's thoughts flashed by, and he stopped thinking about these irrelevant matters. If he wanted to know, he had to start with Ryan.
Thinking of this, Ning Beichen's figure flickered, turning into an illusion, and flew towards Ryan.
As soon as Ning Beichen made his move, Ryan's demeanor immediately changed drastically. He became like a ferocious beast, his eyes bloodshot, and he punched towards Ning Beichen.
With a loud bang.
Ning Beichen was sent flying back in the air, knocking down several trees behind him, and felt a dull ache in his arm.
Ryan was not unharmed either. After exchanging a punch with Ning Beichen, he was embedded in the mountain wall, looking even more miserable than Ning Beichen.
However, this amount of damage was far from enough to destroy Ryan.
Soon, the two began to fight again, and the trees in the surrounding forest were also affected, with countless of them destroyed.
Ryan was not an unknown person. Before he died, he was a Golden Knight. Moreover, now that he had become such an immortal monster, his strength had already increased by an unknown number of times.
Ning Beichen was also fighting until he was out of breath. Fortunately, he had already advanced to the Grandmaster realm. If he still had his previous strength, he might not have been able to deal with Ryan.
It seemed that the Holy See had gone to great lengths to deal with Ning Beichen, and only sent Ryan out when they thought he was enough to eliminate Ning Beichen. No wonder there had been no movement before.
Using Ryan's hatred for Ning Beichen, reviving him with a secret method to become a Heavenly Demon for revenge, this was definitely the Holy See's method.
With a "噗" sound.
Ning Beichen spat out a mouthful of clotted blood that was blocking his throat.
He had Grandmaster cultivation, so he was not seriously injured, but he still wanted to see what methods Ryan had? Had he really learned the Great Art of Heavenly Demon Dissolution?
Ning Beichen's footsteps flickered, dodging Ryan's attack. He struck Ryan's body with seven-tenths of his strength, emitting a deafening roar.
Ryan's chest bones caved in a circle, and he was sent flying by Ning Beichen's punch.
Before he could even land, Ning Beichen had already chased after him. He dived down from the sky, unleashing three consecutive palms at Ryan, each more powerful than the last.
A cracking sound.
Several camphor trees around were broken, and Ryan was directly smashed into the soil by Ning Beichen. Not only were his chest bones broken, but his head was almost blown open by Ning Beichen.
"Let's see how you use the Great Art of Heavenly Demon Dissolution!"
Ning Beichen sneered at Ryan in the mud pit.
Although he didn't practice demonic arts, he knew that cultivation techniques and secret arts like the Great Art of Heavenly Demon Dissolution couldn't be used at will. There must be limitations, otherwise, the Demonic Sect would have unified the world long ago.
"Hands up, who are you?"
At this moment, people from the Special Affairs Department arrived. Upon seeing Ning Beichen, they immediately surrounded him.
Ning Beichen did not want to reveal his identity. When he came, he had already disguised himself. He was now a little old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a Taoist robe.
"I am Wu Ming, a Taoist priest. This person is a Heavenly Demon, and I am here to slay demons and eliminate evil."
Ning Beichen spoke in a haughty tone, and with the darkness, no one could tell that he was disguised.
"So it's Daoist Master Wu. This person is a criminal who has killed countless people and committed heinous acts. We need to take him back for custody and trial."
Said a person from the Special Affairs Department.
They didn't believe in talk of Heavenly Demons, demon slaying, or eliminating evil.
