"Indeed, the ultimate guarantee for rules lies in strength. Truth and justice only exist under powerful might!" Emperor Hanwu exchanged a glance with Emperor Qingniu, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes beneath his smile.
Sensing Emperor Hanwu's killing intent, Margaret and the others dared not speak, only subtly warning Bai Ye to be careful.
Emperor Qingniu smiled playfully. "Emperor Hanwu is truly a man who understands the times!"
"Wang Getos!" As Emperor Hanwu called out softly, a gust of wind blew, transforming into a figure that appeared beside Emperor Hanwu. His bare upper body was rippling with lean muscles, and he wielded two green swords. His lower body, equipped with six legs bearing demonic artifacts, resembled sharp lances, appearing like a mantis-man at first glance.
"Emperor Hanwu, rest assured, I will take his insignificant life and present it to you!" Wang Getos's voice was not loud, even somewhat sinister, but it carried across the entire half-demon army camp.
The half-demons' morale surged instantly.
"Long live Lord Wang Getos!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"The honor of the half-demons cannot be insulted; it must be washed away with blood!"
On the other side, the demonic beast army, upon hearing the arrogant roars of the half-demons, became displeased. Ye Ge, in their eyes, was a prodigy of their demon beast race, a recognized seed contestant by an Emperor-level powerhouse, a rising star. How could they tolerate insults directed at him, especially from the long-standing rivals, the half-demons!
Thus, furious roars of beasts echoed from the demon beast army.
"This old bird finds it hilarious, why are these mere mongrels barking like that?"
"Barking? Brother, watch your words. Can their 'holy language' be defiled by such as them from the Sky Dog Demon Tribe?"
"Hahaha... a bunch of opportunists still prattling about honor? This is hilariously demonic! Were it not for the assistance of the Demonic Plant tribe, you half-demons would have long been captured and become prey farmed by our demon beast tribe!"
"Lord Ye Ge, don't fear them, go all out and kick their asses!"
...
Amidst the roars and curses of the demon beast warriors, a hidden secret from the era of the three-tribe war was inadvertently revealed. This instantly enraged the half-demon race, their eyes turning blood red. Before Bai Ye and Wang Getos had even exchanged blows, the two races were on the verge of a colossal tribal war.
This left the dwarves bewildered. They never imagined that these two feuding races would one day tear each other apart with such venomous insults over them!
Demesden smiled with a hint of strangeness. He cast a subtle glance at Bai Ye. How amusing it would be if they knew that the person they were arguing over and protecting was the interdimensional enemy they were searching for everywhere? Speaking of which, the Master was acting so well; if this were role-playing… Demesden's smile began to turn a bit perverted.
"Lord Qingniu," Bai Ye glanced at the confident Wang Getos and then asked Emperor Qingniu beside him, "Can I kill him?"
Emperor Qingniu laughed. "A fair duel, life and death by fate!"
"Arrogant!" Wang Getos roared, fixing his gaze on Bai Ye and charging at him with incredible speed, leaving only an afterimage.
Emperor Hanwu and Emperor Qingniu, along with their retinues, retreated. Wang Getos, wielding his twin swords, attacked Bai Ye with exceptionally sharp thrusts and slashes.
Bai Ye's body was already imbued with lightning power, and he met this formidable enemy head-on, protected by the electricity.
"Clang, clang, clang!!!"
Amidst the crackling of lightning, the crisp ringing of swords echoed.
In mere blinks of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred blows, sparks flying.
Bai Ye, though at a disadvantage, retreated instead of advancing. He leaped from the wall of Bright City and fell outside, continuously approaching the half-demon army.
"Clear the battlefield for them!" Emperor Hanwu narrowed his eyes. He sensed Bai Ye's intention and was not fighting with his full strength, deliberately retreating. It was likely to prevent the battle from affecting the lower-ranking half-demon warriors and to avoid the destruction of Bright City.
Emperor Qingniu wore a subtle smile. This fellow was truly vengeful and a bit cunning!
"Ye Ge, below Emperor-level, all are ants. This is because the magic below Emperor-level borrows the power of elements. But at the Emperor-level, one can command elements, or rather, control the power of rules!"
"You must be careful."
