A cultivator was walking toward Dean while he was observing what was going on with Dean. With Dean not knowing that.
"This little fellow has killed a lot of my comrades and from his aura fluctuation he is just in the lower level of the foundation realm, he should be some genius for him to be fighting across planes killing those that are stronger than him".
The cultivating thought as he observed Dean from a distance and was walking towards him rapidly.
"I must kill this little fellow here and now if not he would be a potential threat to us in the future.
"What, seems like someone is watching me,"
Dean said to himself, a little shocked after noticing that someone was observing since he had been fighting. He had tried his best to be careful. He was not afraid because since he had been fighting he observed and discovered that most of the enemy cultivators in the city were all middle stage of the foundation realm with few being in the peak level of the middle stage, which he was confident that he will be able to get them down unless they came in a group to challenge him that will put him in a tough situation.
From his observation, there was only one person that was watching him so he was not afraid of getting into a fight with him.
Dean directed his attention toward where the cultivator was coming from to let the cultivator know that he was already aware of him coming to challenge him and that he was not afraid of him.
"This little fellow is not bad, but thinking that he will be able to kill me then he is about to get the greatest surprise of his life cause he will end up dying".
"Sometimes overconfidence will get one kill easily and quickly". The cultivator said while directing a hard look with a playful smile on his face toward Dean.
Dean just stood there without taking any action. He was like a king on his throne waiting for someone who wanted to challenge his position.
"You are one interesting little fellow"
The cultivator said standing about ten feet away from Dean giving him a playful look like he was a predator looking at his prey that was about to be ripped apart.
"Little fellow being bold won't get you anywhere". The cultivator said and continued
"For killing my fellow brother I will have to take your life. Don't worry I will make it painful so that you will be able to enjoy it".
What surprised the cultivator was that with all he said Dean was just looking at him not showing any form of fear with a blue glow coming from his eyes.
"Sir you don't have to worry about my life as a cultivator, we either die or grow stronger. So whatever happens I am ready". Dean said without any form of discomposure.
"Little fellow as a reward for your fighting spirit I will tell you my name, is Sir Night Fury," Night Fury said and continued.
"But you don't have to tell me yours, I don't need to know the name of a dead person".
"hmm" When Dran heard what the Night Fury said he could not help but have a gentle laugh because he had killed many cultivators with the same cultivation level as Night Fury so why would he be afraid?
"Why is he not afraid after hearing my name? I am a well-known name, if the majority of the top cultivators here know that I am here they would be afraid to death." Night Fury thought to himself when he saw the way Dean was acting, not taking him seriously.
"Little fellow watch closely" The moment he made the statement his aura changed, that his cultivation level moved to that of the peak of the foundation realm, just half a step from him to enter the other realm.
"So that's what you are standing on, I understand". Dean said with no expression on his face.
"Damn it, I am in trouble this time around," Dean thought to himself he knew the fight would be hard for him.
"Zi how come you did not notice someone as strong as him in the battlefield, evening as far as him monitoring me? He questioned feeling things were getting out of control.
"oh, that, you already know the answer, why ask me?" Zi replied.
.
"What! You already knew and refused to inform me". Dean was shocked and angry at the same time.
"I knew he was monitoring you and would come to fight you eventually". Zi said and continued.
"What! Dean replied shocked he felt like his heart was getting crushed by what Zi was saying he was set up and Zi was not even hiding it.
"I knew that his cultivation level was higher than yours, But if you don't fight people who are stronger than you, how are you going to grow and get stronger?".
Zi replied not caring about what Dean was thinking or not.
"What, are you for me or not, are you so eager for me to die so quickly? Dean felt frustrated.
"Am I that useless that you want to discard me" Dean was filled with anger he was acting like someone who was betrayed.
"Whatever you say the truth is that you need to grow stronger which will be beneficial for both of us". Zi said and continued
"Besides, if you can't kill him, you can run away. With the movement technique I gave to you, things would be easy.
After Night Fury saw that there was no change in Dean's expression he was shocked to see Dean filled with anger all of a sudden.
"Night Fury don't worry the winner has not been decided," Dean said after which his cultivation level started rising with ease like he was about to break through but he did not.
Without wasting time he immediately rushed toward Night Fury releasing attacks.
'Little fellow I like your fighting spirit". Night Fury complimented and did not just stand idly but counterattack.
After exchanging some moves the two of them separated with Dean being pushed back finding it difficult to balance himself but in the end, he was able to stop himself from falling.
