“Hehehe.” Facing Yun Che’s sudden cold words, Long Bai also laughed lightly: “Yun Che, I heard that when you led the Northern Territory demons to invade a few months ago, your cultivation had already reached the peak of the Divine Lord Realm. You defeated the seriously injured Tai Yu Venerable with one hand, and joined forces with Qianye’s daughter to defeat the Moon God Emperor.”

“I thought that since you walked out of the Eternal Heaven Pearl, your cultivation should have improved. Unfortunately…” Long Bai’s eyelids drooped slightly, and he revealed a faint disappointment in a judgmental manner: “You have inherited the power of the Heretic God and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor at the same time, but you still haven’t been able to break through the Divine Sovereign realm. It’s boring and disappointing.”

"After all, if I were to attack a Divine Lord, I'm afraid even my Dragon Claw wouldn't agree to it."

Yun Che’s eyes remained unchanged, and he said expressionlessly: “You want to fight me in a one-on-one duel?”

“Although it’s a bit boring and ridiculous, but…” Long Bai raised his hand, without releasing any dragon energy, but inexplicably exerting a terrifying pressure: “You must die in my hands!”

"Bah!" Yan San spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm, took a step forward and cursed: "If you want to hurt my master, first..."

“Go back.” Yun Che said in a calm voice.

Yan San's neck and feet instantly shrank back.

“Very good.” Yun Che slowly closed his five fingers. His expression was still cold and calm, but only he knew that the rage in his heart and soul had already become like thousands of hideous and howling demons, and it was possible for it to completely get out of control at any time.

“Indeed, there are some things in this world that are boring and ridiculous, but they must be done.”

Yun Che took a step forward, and slowly approached Long Bai under the frightened and worried gazes of the Northern Territory profound practitioners: “Since you want to fight me alone so much, I, the Northern Territory Demon Lord Yun Che, will grant you this opportunity!”

“Well...a gift? Hahahahahaha…” The Dragon Gods and the Western Region God Emperor were all stunned, and then they all laughed wildly.

Even though he was the Demon Lord of the Northern Territory whom all the demons of the Northern Territory would fight to the death to protect, but with the cultivation base of the tenth level of the Divine Lord Realm and a group of miserable and withered demons behind him, how could he say such words to Long Bai?

These were all ridiculous remarks. They all had to wonder if Yun Che had completely lost his mind and gone mad because he could no longer bear the blow and pressure in this miserable and desperate situation.

"Hmph." Long Bai exhaled calmly: "This is a gift I give you. The longer you can hold on, the longer these demon beasts under your command can breathe. This can be considered a reward for your contribution in the past."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, releasing his dragon might. In an instant, almost all the Xuanists, whether in the Northern Territory camp or the Western Territory camp, were shaken violently. Many of them took a step back involuntarily, and some of the seriously injured were even knocked to the ground, bleeding from their internal organs.

“Listen,” Long Bai said calmly, “In the battle between me and Yun Che, no matter what the situation is, none of you are allowed to interfere…”

The Northern Region and Western Region Xuanzang were all stunned. The Azure Dragon God blurted out: "Your Majesty, a drowned dog is not worthy of your personal..."

Before he could finish his words, Su Xin Dragon God grabbed his arm and said, "Shut up."

"Whoever dares to attack, no matter who it is, don't... blame... me for being... ruthless!"

Long Bai spoke these words very slowly and in a frightening manner. Every word was a warning to all the profound practitioners in the Western Region that this seemingly ridiculous order was actually a supreme imperial order that no one could disobey!

The Azure Dragon God instantly stopped talking and broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, even the dullest of people would clearly realize that Long Bai’s feelings towards Yun Che were not just like the Dragon Emperor’s feelings towards the Demon Lord, but that he had a deep personal grudge against him.

Adding to what the Demon Queen said earlier...

A guess that made everyone's heart palpitate flashed through their minds...but they immediately suppressed it. They would never say a word, and they didn't even dare to show the slightest bit of strange expression.

Long Bai wanted to attack Yun Che alone. Yun Che, as well as Chi Wuyao and Qianye Ying'er who knew the inside story, were not surprised at all.

Because only with Yun Che could he release the extreme resentment and hatred that had been pent up in his heart for many years, and only by crushing Yun Che to death with his own hands... in all aspects, could he find some almost pitiful dignity and psychological balance.

Previously, when the Western Divine Region completely crushed the Northern Divine Region, Long Bai had always maintained an indifferent expression... At that time, he did not feel the slightest bit of satisfaction in his heart, only reluctance and madness.

At this moment, finally... finally...

His expression was calm, and there was no dragon energy surging from his body. However, every finger of his hand, which seemed to be hanging naturally, was so tense that it seemed to break.

“Everyone retreat.” Yun Che also spoke coldly at this time: “In the battle between this Demon Lord and Long Bai, no one is allowed to interfere, otherwise they will be severely punished!”

Yun Che's words undoubtedly shocked all the Northern Territory profound practitioners. Except for the three Yama ancestors who would never disobey orders, everyone else was full of hesitation... After all, their greatest desire at the moment, or even their ultimate purpose in life, was to do their best to protect Yun Che and escape from here.

How could he be allowed to face the terrifying Long Bai alone?

Chi Wuyao took a deep look at Yun Che. She did not dissuade him, nor did she ask any questions. Instead, she raised her hand and gently pushed out a wave of dark energy, “The Demon Lord’s orders cannot be disobeyed. This is the Demon Lord’s own battlefield. We cannot interfere. Let’s retreat.”

Qianye Ying'er stumbled and fell to Chi Wuyao's side. Her weak snow-white hands tightly grasped her arms and she said in a deep voice, "What are you...doing..."

“Trust him.” Chi Wuyao said.

“This isn’t a question of whether or not to believe it…” Qianye Ying’er’s expression was painful, and she gritted her teeth as if she was about to break: “With you and Mu Xuanyin here, he will definitely… be able to escape… We can’t let him take any more risks!”

"Even if it's not for him... do you want everyone to die... in vain?!"

“…” Chi Wuyao opened her lips and unconsciously clenched her fingers together. She was always resolute, but now she began to waver in pain.

She had never seen the look in Yun Che's eyes before. But she couldn't confirm how much rationality and how much insanity Yun Che had under his seemingly confident expression. However, his profound strength at the tenth level of the Divine Sovereign Realm was a fact that could not be imagined.

“No…”

A very light girl's voice came, Shui Meiyin used her own profound energy to protect her sister who could no longer stand, and whispered softly: "Brother Yun Che will definitely not let them sacrifice in vain... definitely not."

After saying that, she took Shui Yingyue with her and moved away slightly.

Chi Wuyao no longer hesitated. The dark profound energy brought up some seriously injured Northern Territory profound practitioners and said in a deep voice, “Follow the order of the Demon Lord. Everyone retreat!”

Both sides retreated, and in the center of the ruined Canglan Divine Domain, only Yun Che and Long Bai were left, facing each other from a distance.

“Go ahead.” Facing Yun Che, Long Bai actually put his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Long Bai's heart was filled with howling evil spirits, wishing he could tear Yun Che into pieces right away. However, his dignity, his arrogance, his unwillingness, his Dragon King status and dignity did not allow him to take action first.

A flash of black light appeared in front of Yun Che, and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor Sword appeared. He touched the sword with his hand and said, “Show us your weapons.”

"I never bother to use weapons." Long Bai said coldly.

“Really?” Yun Che flicked his hand and put away the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor Sword. At this moment, his eyes fell on Long Bai’s heart: “Oh? Are you injured?”

As soon as the voice fell, Yun Che’s eyes suddenly darkened, and the profound energy in his body burst out. He swung his right arm, and a terrifying flame condensed on his fist. Then, in front of everyone’s suddenly dilated pupils...

It hit his heart hard.

Puff! !

The force released by this attack was extremely terrifying, hitting Yun Che's heart and directly penetrating his internal organs. A large amount of blood foam spurted out from Yun Che's heart, back, and mouth at the same time, which was shocking.

"Devil...Demon Lord!?"

“Yun Che!!”

Chaotic screams came from behind. Yun Che's actions shocked all the profound practitioners. They could never have imagined... and they could not understand why Yun Che would suddenly commit self-harm when facing the terrifying Long Bai alone.

And it’s such brutal self-mutilation!

The wound on Long Bai's heart was very small, and it had almost healed by half in this long period of time.

Anyone could see that Yun Che's self-inflicted wound was significantly more serious than Long Bai's... not to mention that it was a fresh injury, which would undoubtedly severely damage his vitality and profound energy.

"Crazy...crazy, right?" said the All-Seeing God Emperor.

"Heh, he is indeed crazy." The Snake Dragon Emperor sneered and said, "Or maybe he knows he has been defeated miserably, so he is trying to find some dignity for himself in this way? Hehehe, the so-called Demon Lord is still a half-century-old cub after all, how childish and ridiculous."

The five great withered dragon masters all frowned at this moment.

When Yun Che blasted himself just now, the profound strength of the tenth level of the Divine Sovereign Realm actually released the might of the tenth level of the Divine Lord Realm!

Although they had heard Long Bai and the other dragon gods mention it before, seeing with their own eyes this scene that was completely beyond their comprehension, their soul seas that had been dormant for countless years could not help but be stirred up.

"..." Long Bai was indifferent and speechless, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

A punch pierced his heart, the pain was imaginable. But Yun Che's face did not show any distortion. His chest, which was quickly stained with blood, stood up straight. He looked at Long Bai calmly and said slowly: "It's almost fair now... Let's start."

boom!

Yun Che suddenly jumped up, and the profound energy in his body surged into his right fist, and a storm of wind blew directly at Long Bai.

The Dragon God lineage possesses extremely powerful and domineering strength and bodies, so they disdain to use weapons, nor do they need to use weapons... or rather, their dragon claws are the most powerful weapons that suit them best. Using external objects would only add to the burden.

But Yun Che not only severely injured himself, he also abandoned his weapon.

What was even more outrageous was that his attack on Long Bai was not with darkness and fire, which were his best attacks, but a direct attack with his fists without any fancy moves.

All these actions are simply digging one's own grave.

The seven dragon gods all showed mockery on their faces.

The profound energy carried by Yun Che was as powerful as the rumors said, and he had definitely entered the realm of the tenth level of the Divine Lord Realm. However, using this pure power to directly attack the body of the Dragon Emperor... the following scene had already appeared in their minds in advance.

Facing Yun Che's violent attack, Long Bai did not move at all, and even his hands were still behind his back.

He let Yun Che's fist hit his face.

boom

Yun Che’s fist slammed heavily on Long Bai’s forehead.

There was no darkness, no fire. But this was the power of a peak God after all, and the moment the power exploded, the heaven and earth shook.

However, as dust flew and space collapsed, Long Bai's body did not move at all, only his head moved backwards less than three inches.

A layer of faint white light floated silently on Long Bai's body, between his forehead and Yun Che's fist.

The faces of the Western Region's profound practitioners showed irony and pity, while the Northern Region's profound practitioners all had cardiac arrest... This was undoubtedly a scene of extreme despair for them.

“It’s that abnormal white light again!” Chi Wuyao murmured.

Long Bai's expression did not change, as if what hit his forehead was not a heavy blow from the Northern Territory Demon Lord, but a powerless child.

His eyes were deep and cold, as if he was looking down upon a larva struggling to death: "Do you realize how ridiculous you are now?"

After he finished speaking, he did not see any astonishment or panic on Yun Che's face. Instead, a strange sneer slowly spread from the corner of his mouth.

“Good question.”

Boom!!!

With a strange sneer, Yun Che's strength, which had clearly been exhausted, suddenly erupted again against common sense, and the explosion was even more violent than before. A ball of slightly pale light exploded on Long Bai's forehead!

At that moment, the white light around Long Bai suddenly dissipated, and then even his protective dragon energy was strangely retracted.

Boom!

Amidst the thunderous roar, Long Bai's forehead suddenly sank like a balloon, and his body flew out in a backward spin under the terrifying force, and then slammed into the ground while flying backwards...

Boom boom boom…

As the earth split and the sand and rocks flew everywhere, a deep trench of more than thirty miles was cut into the ground, and Long Bai's body finally stopped.
