The two men, standing atop the clouds, stared at each other, both sensing the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
But considering the ultimate destination behind Bu Yunzhi, Gu Liyan suppressed her fighting spirit, loosened her clenched fist, took a deep breath, and coldly said to Bu Yunzhi:
"I don't know what your plan is, but if you want anything from me, I, Gu Liyan, will absolutely not back down an inch!"
"Haha, is that so?" Bu Yunzhi looked at Gu Liyan with narrowed eyes, examining him with great interest. Under that mask was a face that could make the heavens and earth pale in comparison.
He was genuinely curious about what kind of face could make his elder brother so unable to forget it after returning to the Demon Realm, even forgetting that he himself was such a dashing and romantic Holy Son!
Bu Yunzhi squinted and manipulated the cold wind. In an instant, the wind howled and blew by. Gu Liyan suddenly groaned in pain. Several new wounds appeared on his body. Even Bu Yunzhi himself was stunned to see Gu Liyan injured. It was not his intention to hurt him!
Looking at his own hands, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with his actions.
"Gu Liyan!" Leng Shaohan, who was standing nearby, rushed forward to support Gu Liyan. "Are you alright?"
Gu Liyan waved his hand. Although he had wounds, he felt no pain. This puzzled him. He glanced at Bu Yunzhi and waved his hand calmly, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing Gu Liyan's casual and carefree attitude, Bu Yunzhi frowned: "You're really stubborn! You built such a huge ice ladder to connect to the Heavenly Palace, but in reality, your spiritual power is almost exhausted, isn't it?"
Bu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Right now, you're nothing more than a fox spirit at the mercy of others!"
Seeing Bu Yunzhi's arrogant attitude, Gu Liyan frowned slightly. Before he could say anything, Leng Shaohan stepped forward and said, "Kid, being too arrogant will have consequences!"
Bu Yunzhi looked at Leng Shaohan and sneered, "Price? You think you can make me pay a price for being just a silkworm? You're really overestimating yourself! But, you're right, for ignorant demons like you who think you're superior and stand up for others, in the end the demon race is on the verge of extinction, and that's your own doing!"
Hearing Bu Yunzhi's words, Leng Shaohan subconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes darting away.
Bu Yunzhi was right. As a member of the Ice Silkworm lineage, capable of saving the world, Leng Shaohan considered himself the only demon race in the world who was superior to others...
It was also because of his arrogance that he intervened to save the human race, which led to the exposure of his race to the world and became the root cause of the extinction of his Ice Silkworm lineage.
"Brother Leng?" Gu Liyan asked anxiously, looking at Leng Shaohan who was in a daze.
Leng Shaohan snapped out of his reverie and looked at Gu Liyan, who had a worried expression, and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the past."
Seeing Gu Liyan's concern for Leng Shaohan, Bu Yunzhi felt an inexplicable sting.
Leng Shaohan's eyes brightened as he looked at Bu Yunzhi: "You remind me of unhappy things. I, a demon who can hardly be called great and who hates the world, only have happiness left! So—you don't let me be happy, and I'm very angry!"
"Ha! So, you're planning to challenge me? You're just a lowly insect!" Bu Yunzhi couldn't help but find it amusing.
Leng Shaohan laughed instead of getting angry. "What? Are you scared? It's just a challenge from an insect?"
"Afraid? A bug, I can crush it with a flick of my wrist!" Bu Yunzhi sneered, narrowing his eyes.
"Ha, let's have a contest then! Is your wind more biting, or is my chill more piercing?" Leng Shaohan smiled confidently with a slight upturn of his lips, and then leaped down, landing at the bottom of the ice ladder.
“Brother Leng…” Gu Liyan looked at Leng Shaohan anxiously. He couldn’t see that the reason Leng Shaohan chose to fight Bu Yunzhi down there was to get rid of this obstacle for him, so that he could have a chance to reach Sky City.
Bu Yunzhi glanced at Gu Liyan and smiled wickedly, "Gu Liyan, you really have a great group of friends! I'm quite envious of you, but don't worry, I will personally destroy everything you have!"
With that, Bu Yunzhi laughed and jumped down to chase after him.
Gu Liyan looked at the two people standing opposite him at his feet, and then at Sky City, which was not far from the finish line. He gritted his teeth and climbed up with all his might—he absolutely could not let down the people who had high hopes for him!
Seeing that Gu Liyan understood his meaning, Leng Shaohan couldn't help but smile.
Bu Yunzhi followed his gaze to Gu Liyan, who was climbing up, and then smiled at Leng Shaohan: "What? I gave you a chance to challenge me, aren't you going to thank me?"
Leng Shaohan couldn't help but smile, his face remaining calm and composed. He raised an eyebrow with a grin.
"Thank you? You're the one who should be thanking me! I challenged you to a fight because I saw you weren't having enough fun!"
Bu Yunzhi laughed loudly, "Is that so? Then I can only hope that you can play with me longer than Mo Chen, so that Gu Liyan can win more worldly opportunities."
Leng Shaohan looked at Bu Yunzhi with a puzzled expression. "Since you know that I am trying to buy time for Gu Liyan, why did you still want to compete with me?"
Bu Yunzhi watched the figure rushing towards Sky City, a smile playing on his lips as he said, "To me, it doesn't matter who succeeds in reaching the top. On the contrary, he has already paid a lot, hasn't he?"
Bu Yunzhi turned to look at Leng Shaohan and said, "Compared to you, if you only give these things, it won't be so easy for you to gain my approval! Perhaps you can understand it in another way—if the people he cares about are all at peace, then the world would lose all its fun!"
