The man in black, having failed to gain an advantage after two moves, immediately took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Ye Tian.
Seeing this, Ye Tian didn't counterattack, but instead spoke calmly, "Who are you? Why is it that even when we fight, you don't hold back, yet you don't strike at my vital points? Instead, you're desperately trying to snatch the steel spike from my hand. If you really want this steel spike, wouldn't it be easier to just kill me?"
The man in black let out a cold laugh, then said, "Kill you? King of the Night, we are not enemies, why should we fight to the death? I've told you before, my goal has always been solely the steel spike in your hand, not your life. So, hand over the steel spike to me nicely!"
"And if I hand the steel spike over to you, wouldn't I then become a fool who's been played with?"
