Yang Fei laughed heartily, wanting to tease Nuannuan a bit more.

At this moment, a bizarre and eerie voice came over.

"Of course, if human meat is cooked well, it's the most delicious food in this world."

"Especially a little girl like you, with such tender skin and flesh, the most delectable of all."

Upon hearing this, Nuannuan's face changed drastically, and she turned around.

Not far away, there appeared a man dressed in a black tailcoat and a top hat, smiling at Nuannuan and Yang Fei.

The man was extremely handsome, with a delicate and effeminate air, his features as refined as a beautiful woman's.

Such a man, if cross-dressing, would be an absolute beauty.

Meeting such a dapper man suddenly in this large desert surprised Yang Fei greatly.

He raised his head and said lightly, "So, you also haven eaten human flesh, can you describe how wonderful it tastes?"

The handsome man looked at Nuannuan with a smile that narrowed his eyes.

"Isn't this world a human-eating world? Both hunters and prey in the city are humans."

Yang Fei chuckled and nodded in agreement.

"You're quite right, in this world, survival of the fittest means it's indeed a human-eating world."

"Just don't know if you're the eater or the one being eaten?"

The handsome man sighed.

"I also want to eat people, but in the end, I'm often the one being eaten. Being born human is quite shameful indeed."

Yang Fei burst into laughter. "You're really honest."

"But I guess this time, you might be the one to be eaten because I'm not used to being eaten, so I'll have to be the eater instead."

The handsome man sighed again, his handsome face showing elegance without a hint of anger.

"That depends on whose appetite is better and whose teeth are sharper."

Since the appearance of the handsome man, Nuannuan had been staring at him. Her face suddenly changed dramatically at this moment.

"Are you William the Ghost King?"

The man took out a small ivory comb, gently combing his golden hair before his forehead, admiring himself.

"Actually, I'd prefer it if you called me Queen. I often think that if I were a woman, I'd be even more charming."

Nuannuan's face turned pale and flushed alternately, seemingly very frightened, but eventually, she clenched her teeth and said coldly.

"I didn't expect the Four Great Protectors to also make a move on the Ancestral Altar. Do you still recognize the existence of the Witch Master in your eyes?"

William looked at Nuannuan, revealing a look of disgust on his pretty face.

"Don't mention that old fellow to me again. If the Witch Master were still alive, would the Wu Clan be in such chaos?"

He said lightly, "Nuannuan, stop deceiving yourself. Back then, the Witch Master challenged the Martial God and was defeated. He died ten years ago."

Nuannuan's face changed again and again as she sneered coldly, "Who said the Witch Master is dead? He was just injured and retreated into seclusion."

"The Witch Master said that when the Martial God doesn't show up, there's no one in the world who can match him. He'd rather cultivate in seclusion, but when the Martial God reappears, the Witch Master will challenge the Martial God again."

"Hehe, you little girl, you've been tricking us for ten years along with the Clan Leader. Trying to fool us again?"

William looked at Nuannuan indifferently.

"To tell you the truth, the Twelve Branches have already gathered from around the world and are heading to the Ancestral Altar, planning to destroy the Witch Master's remnants in one fell swoop and recreate a new era for the Wu Clan."

"You might as well surrender now and let me, William, show off in front of the Twelve Branches' experts."

Yang Fei activated his Snake Stupefaction Power to find the Essence Yuan Fluctuation Power on William and discern his Martial Arts Realm.

But Yang Fei was disappointed. The William in front of him was as deep as an abyss and ocean, unfathomable.

With Yang Fei's cultivation, he couldn't see through William's Martial Arts Realm at all.

A chill ran through Yang Fei's heart, knowing that William's Martial Arts Realm was likely above True Martial.

His own Martial Arts Realm was insufficient to discern William's Martial Arts Realm.

Nuannuan sneered, "You also want to catch me? Aren't you afraid the Witch Master will intervene?"

Impatience appeared briefly on William's handsome face.

"At this point, you're still using the Witch Master to scare me? Don't you find it ridiculous?"

As he spoke, he slowly extended his hands.

The True Martial Qi in his palms slowly converged, gradually forming a soft whip, coiling like a python around his arm.

This soft whip was covered in barbs. Though formed by True Martial Qi, it seemed to glisten with a metallic sheen, looking quite terrifying.

Yang Fei felt a stir in his heart; he could barely manage Gang Transformation into All-Encompassing.

Yet this guy managed to transform True Martial Qi into a weapon, far more frightening than Gang Transformation into All-Encompassing.

Nuannuan, looking at the whip, seemed quite afraid, instinctively retreating behind Yang Fei.

William sneered, "Do you think this kid can protect you? A Master of Gangjin, in my eyes, is not even worth a bug."

Nuannuan ignored him and quietly signaled Yang Fei.

"This guy isn't ordinary. Forget about me; his target is me. When the fight starts, find a way to escape."

Yang Fei smiled faintly, "An old man doesn't have the habit of leaving friends behind and fleeing on his own, besides a True Martial Master doesn't scare me enough to flee in panic."

Nuannuan's eyes widened.

"What do you know? William is a True Martial Mysterious Grade expert, his True Qi condensing soldiers are indestructible. He's nothing like those River Beavers or such creatures."

As she said this, Nuannuan's voice became hauntingly soft.

"Actually, I've already brought you a lot of trouble; I can't drag you down any further."

A warmth filled Yang Fei's heart, but he laughed lightly.

"But you promised to take me to find Dan Dan. You can't go back on your word."

Nuannuan was so anxious she nearly stomped her feet.

"Old man, this is not the time. Run for your life first; finding your friend will require you to stay alive."

William, seeing Nuannuan fully alert yet discussing quietly with Yang Fei, couldn't help but chuckle: "No one is getting away, everyone stay here for me."

As he spoke, the whip transformed from True Martial Qi in his hand cracked and lashed towards Nuannuan and Yang Fei.

Yang Fei pushed Nuannuan aside and retreated like a ghost.

However, he barely dodged William's whip, only to feel a sharp pain at his lower back.

A large piece of flesh was torn off his lower back, down to the bone, by something unknown.

Yang Fei clutched his waist, seeing William laughing heartily in front of him, with another long whip of True Martial Qi appearing in his hand sometime unbeknownst to him.

The two long whips coiled like pythons around William's arms, the ends of the whips seeming alive, stretching and contracting unpredictably.

Nuannuan screamed in surprise from behind Yang Fei: "Be careful, his whip can transform into more than nine strands. Others call him the Nine-Headed Hydra."

Yang Fei touched his lower back, feeling his hand sticky with blood, a chill in his heart.

Though empowered with the Nine Extremes Force, he had faced True Martial masters before, even killing figures like Zhu Butong and River Beaver.

However, now this guy's True Qi Condensing Soldiers had already wounded Yang Fei on the first strike!
