"How do we bet?"
Tuoming asked, clearly puzzled by Long Chen's thinking, but also afraid Long Chen might really go down together.
Long Chen said that in these two days, they had prepared everything to destroy the city and escape. This was perfectly logical. If Long Chen really did that, he might really get nothing.
He had already lost so many subordinates. If he couldn't take this place in the end, his future would be tough, and he might even be swallowed up by others. Right now, he was caught off guard.
If it weren't for the fact that Twin Axes had some connection with him, he wouldn't even dare ask for help, because if things went wrong, this guy could swallow him whole.
So, Long Chen immediately grasped his sore spot. Although Long Chen didn't know Tuoming's situation, he knew this guy was determined to win this world, because he had given too much and couldn't bear it.
"It's simple: you put out one person, we put out another, and we'll have a fair showdown to decide who belongs to this world.
If you win, we will give up this world and hand over this divine core directly to you, and we will return to our original place. Long Chen said.
"What if we lose?" Tuoming narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.
"If you lose, swear by your souls that you will never attack here again. At the same time, leave half of you as slaves and hand them over to us." Long Chen said calmly.
"Nonsense! We clearly have the strength to crush you, so why make a bet?" The Heaven-grade Underworld King with twin axes sneered.
"You don't have to accept it. At worst, I'll destroy the core of the Divine Dao right now. It's just a matter of who feels more heartbroken. Do you want to gamble or not?" Long Chen looked as if he was confident of victory.
"Don't waste words with him. This kid is clearly no good. He must have a scheme. Maybe he's deliberately stalling for time." The Heaven-grade Underworld King carrying twin axes transmitted to Tuoming.
According to his plan, since they had absolute power and could crush Long Chen and the others, they might as well launch a brutal attack.
Even if Long Chen destroyed the Divine Dao core, with so many people around, they could rebuild it within a few hours. He didn't take Long Chen's threat seriously.
Tuoming looked at Long Chen, but felt uneasy. He sent a voice transmission to the Heavenly Grade Underworld King carrying two axes on his back:
"It's not the case that you feared ten thousand, but what you fear is just the worst. In the next couple of days, they definitely won't just sit idly by—they must have prepared some kind of backup plan."
If we really force a massacre and they detonate the Divine Dao core, the destructive power will be immense. They won't let us off for nothing.
If we really attract other forces and we haven't formed a new Divine Dao core, then all our efforts will be wasted. Tuoming
was even more cautious than the Heaven-grade Underworld King carrying twin axes, because he had already lost so much. This place was crucial for him and he had to be careful.
"So what should we do?" The Heavenly Grade Underworld King carrying two axes asked. Clearly, he was not a particularly clever and resourceful figure. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Tuoming felt at ease seeking him.
"First, keep him steady. Agree to his request. I've already ordered someone to secretly set up a formation passage underground. As long as there's enough time, we can break their formation without anyone noticing."
Without the support of the grand formation, Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue could wave their hands to kill them, utterly powerless to resist.
Even if we can't stop him from detonating the Divine Dao fragments then, we can still intercept most of the Divine Dao runes and condense a new Divine Dao core in at most an hour, so we won't have anything to fear. Tuoming transmitted his voice.
"Alright, then we'll do as you say. I'll make the first move, you take care of the arrangements." The Heavenly Grade Underworld King, carrying twin axes on his back, saw that Tuoming's layout was flawless, agreed immediately, and walked to the front of the formation.
"Kid, come on, who are you sending out to fight?" The Heavenly Grade Underworld King, carrying two axes on his back, shouted loudly.
Tuoming cursed under his breath, Is this guy an idiot? They had just disagreed, and now they're showing up so blatantly—doesn't that just tell others they're plotting? It's no wonder the enemy doesn't suspect it.
"Let me meet you."
But before Tuoming could find a way to reduce Long Chen and the others' suspicion, Ming Cangyue had already stepped forward.
"Remember, don't rush to defeat her." Tuoming secretly reminded the Heaven-grade Underworld King carrying two axes on his back.
"Boom!"
Just as he finished sending his voice, the other side had already clashed. Ming Cangyue launched a full-force strike. The Heavenly Grade Underworld King with twin axes on his back shouted, divine light blossoming from his back, blocking the bone sword and erupting with a deafening roar.
The immense power caused ripples to erupt in the void, and Ming Cangyue and the Heaven-grade Underworld King carrying twin axes retreated simultaneously.
The Heaven-grade Underworld King carrying twin axes was shaken so hard his blood surged violently, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood. Hearing Tuo Ming's words, he didn't unleash his full power, while Ming Cangyue gave it his all, holding nothing back.
"Pfft!"
Just as the Heaven-grade Underworld King carrying twin axes was shaken and his blood surged violently, trying to steady himself with all his might, a silent arrow struck his shoulder. Blood splattered and his shoulder exploded, but his protective divine radiance had no effect.
"Bastard..."
The cold arrow came at him, impossible to defend against. The Heavenly Grade Underworld King, carrying twin axes on his back, felt his shoulders ache sharply, and at the same time, his divine energy suddenly weakened, causing his blood and energy to stagnate.
"Buzz!"
At the very moment the Heavenly Grade Underworld King carrying twin axes was struck by arrows, an ancient sword severed his head from behind with a single strike, sending one head flying into the sky.
"Pfft!"
The head had just taken off when Ming Cangyue shattered it with a single sword strike. Divine radiance surged across the sky, and the Heavenly-grade Underworld King carrying twin axes was slain.
As the void twisted, Leng Yueyan's voice slowly emerged. The one who severed the Heaven-grade Underworld King's head from behind was her.
"Beautiful!"
Long Chen clapped repeatedly. Chang Gong Hao's execution of this arrow was flawless. Ming Cangyue's first sword strike went all out, causing the Heaven-grade Underworld King with twin axes to suffer a heavy blow. Eager to suppress his own vitality to face Ming Cangyue's next killing move, his mind was focused on guarding against Ming Cangyue.
Changgong Hao was already a master archer, and taking advantage of the Heavenly Grade Underworld King's injuries and unrest with twin axes on his back, he landed a blow on his shoulder. Since it wasn't a vital spot, it was hard to feel anything.
The arrowhead containing the power of time and the shaft imbued with life force shattered. Under the combined influence, his reactions became sluggish. At this moment, Ming Cangyue charged at him, her killing move being the Cold Moon Yan hidden in the void. Not to mention the Heavenly Underworld King carrying twin axes was simple-minded, no matter how shrewd he was, under such a meticulous plan, he could only swallow his fate.
The Heaven-grade Underworld King carrying twin axes was slain. Tuoming was shocked, furious, and terrified. He couldn't believe his eyes and looked at Long Chen. Next to Long Chen, Leng Yueyan was clearly standing there.
Long Chen saw Tuoming looking at him and smiled slightly. He gave Leng Yueyan a look, and Leng Yueyan smiled faintly, suddenly transforming into countless thunder runes.
"Fake?" You are so despicable. Only then did Tuoming realize he had fallen for a malicious trick.
"Kill"
