Tuoba Xiong never expected to be treated this way. By the time he wanted to get angry and retort, the ascetic monk had already left, giving him no chance at all...
Faced with the ascetic monk's relentless pressure, Tuoba Xiong frowned. Offending the ascetic monk would greatly damage his reputation as Khan, but Li Zhu had an army of 100,000 behind him, which was what he desperately wanted. If he lost the opportunity to obtain the 100,000-strong army by handing Li Zhu over to the ascetic monk, it was something he could not accept…
"Anda, the ascetic can clearly get anything he wants through his own strength, so why does he have to ask you for it?"
Tuoba Dada said, quite puzzled!
Tuoba Xiong frowned, unsure of the implications. Only a few people knew about the ascetic's injury, and he was unaware of the ascetic's current condition…
"Perhaps he didn't want to offend the royal family of Xiliang..."
Tuoba Xiong said uncertainly!
"Anda, given the ascetic's domineering nature, it definitely isn't because of that. I think there must be another reason..."
Tuoba Dada spoke seriously, while pondering what the hidden story might be...
"Could it be related to Li Zhu?"
Tuoba Xiong looked at Tuoba Dada and asked!
"It's actually quite possible. This Li Zhu isn't really a good-for-nothing. Having walked with him along the way, I've discovered that he has many amazing qualities. He always manages to turn danger into safety, as if he possesses a magical power that makes those around him willingly follow him..."
Tuoba Dada explained!
Do you think it's possible he's faking his coma?
Tuoba Xiong frowned and asked, feeling like he had been tricked!
"That can't be, right?"
Tuoba Dada said uncertainly!
“Brother, I think we can’t be careless about this. Tomorrow, go to Li Zhu’s camp and test him…”
"Anda, you mean..."
The two brothers exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding each other's feelings...
"Don't worry, Adachi, I will definitely fulfill my mission..."
After speaking, Tuoba Dada withdrew, and the entire tent immediately fell silent. Tuoba Xiong pondered for a long time, finally understanding the key point, and could only sigh helplessly…
The departing ascetic quietly went to a very secluded spot and began to sit cross-legged to heal his wounds…
His current condition only allows him to remain completely still, because every movement is an injury to him, causing his life force to continuously drain away...
Now all he has to do is obtain Li Zhu's secret weapon and bring it back to the Liao royal family...
Meanwhile, Lan Fenghuang, far away in Wudang Mountain, has already elevated the Demon God's power to an unimaginable level, and is currently leading the Miao people and the Demon God on their way to Xiliang...
Danger was drawing ever closer, but Li Zhu's mind had calmed down...
As the demon god's divided soul continues to deplete, its strength is gradually declining...
However, Li Zhu's spirit was also nearly exhausted, and neither side gained any advantage; instead, both suffered heavy losses...
“Foolish mortal, how dare you offend me…”
"Stop yelling! How many times have you said that? Am I offending you? I'm trying to kill you..."
Li Zhu said irritably!
"Once I regain my strength, I will tear you to pieces and condemn your soul to eternal damnation in the deepest hell..."
The demon roared in anger, but all he had left was the strength to roar…
Li Zhu's battle with the demon god temporarily ceased, giving him a chance to sense the situation outside. He then realized that he seemed to be no longer in Youzhou, leaving him somewhat bewildered and unsure of where he had been taken...
To his relief, Nazha, Yuwen Yingying, and Xiaolongnu were all by his side...
Just as he was struggling to wake up, Tuoba Dada walked in and looked at Nazha, asking...
"How's that good-for-nothing doing?"
Upon hearing his words, the three of them immediately glared at him angrily, as if they wanted to devour him alive. Nazha, in particular, said furiously.
"Uncle, if you say that again, I won't be so polite..."
"You're welcome? What can you do to me? Do you think you can seize my military power? If you continue to be so willful, your father won't let you off the hook even before I do anything..."
Tuoba Dada said nonchalantly!
"I'm ready for a duel, the kind that ends in a fight to the death..."
Naza roared angrily!
"Nazha, what did you say? You want to duel me for this piece of trash?"
Tuoba Dada looked at Nazha in disbelief and asked her a question, which made him very sad...
"I'll repeat myself, Brother Zhi is not a good-for-nothing..."
Naza roared furiously, her eyes blazing. She didn't notice Tuoba Dada's expression; she was currently looking at Li Zhu, trying to see how he would react...
"How can you prove he's not useless? Just by lying there?"
Tuoba Dada continued spouting provocative words, trying to see if Li Zhu would wake up...
At this moment, Li Zhu was indeed aware of the situation outside. To his surprise, Tuoba Dada was going too far, almost making Nazha cry. In particular, Yuwen Yingying was already crying in grievance. This made him wish he could wake up immediately and let Tuoba Dada know why the flowers were so red...
"Uncle, don't go too far. Brother Zhu is already unconscious. How can he prove it? Aren't you making things difficult for him?"
Naza clenched her fists and retorted, clearly very angry…
"Since he can't prove it, then he's just a piece of trash. What's the point of saying anything more..."
Tuoba Dada's words left everyone speechless, but they didn't know how to refute them. This made Li Zhu, who was in a coma, even angrier. How the hell am I supposed to prove that I'm not a piece of trash?
It's like the Western world before you time-traveled: if they say you're guilty, you're guilty; if you say you're innocent, then prove yourself innocent...
How can this be proven?
Who has ever seen an innocent person try to prove their innocence? Isn't that just crazy?
"Uncle, I challenge you to a duel..."
Naza drew her curved sword from her waist, ready to fight Tuoba Dada to the death, but Tuoba Dada became even more shameless and said...
"Since you're one of us, I won't duel you. But if a duel is necessary, I'll duel Yuwen Yingying. Don't say I didn't give you a chance..."
Everyone was stunned by Tuoba Dada's words. How could a human being say such a thing? Could he be any more shameless?
"Uncle, Yingying doesn't know any martial arts at all. What kind of skill is it for a general like you to bully a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken?"
Naza was at a loss for words when it came to complaining about her uncle, thinking that her uncle wasn't like this before...
"This is a fair duel. She can choose to refuse. If she refuses, it proves that Li Zhu is useless. Now you have nothing to say, right?"
Tuoba Dada said with an arrogant expression, leaving everyone completely bewildered…
"No, I accept the duel. Even if I die, I'll make you understand that Brother Zhi is not a piece of trash..."
