"Is that a compliment?" Noah asked.

"You are correct," The cultivator admitted.

Noah was ready to slash forward, but he held back. His instincts screamed in danger and told him not to give his opponent an opening. That expert was strong but also peculiar. Other cultivators belonging to Heaven and Earth's system would have already attacked after seeing him seize all the dark metal in the area.
