Chapter 861: Chapter 279: "It was quite a setup; it really startled me."_3

"It seems the Demon Clan Leader gained quite a bit from the last Heavenly Dao event."

A man spectating nearby spoke with some envy, "The last Heavenly Dao Decree just mentioned nominations without any specific rewards, but now it seems they just didn’t mention them in the Decree."

"Give me a break."

A woman nearby whispered, "Ba Dan clearly came with a resolve to die in a duel, but the Demon Clan Leader not only mobilized the power of his entire clan but also used the tribe’s ultimate treasure, essentially pitting the strength of an entire race against Ba Dan alone. How could he possibly win?"

"Ba Dan could see at a glance that it was a force spurred by a desperate burning of life, at the end of his life, seeking to settle scores with the Demon Clan Leader in one final confrontation. He never intended to leave alive, yet that Demon Clan Leader didn’t even dare to accept a duel. Such a cowardly act, and you still admire him, is truly shameful."

"..."

"..."

As her words fell, a few people nearby gave her weird looks; everyone knew that the Demon Clan Leader was a man of very small tolerance for criticism and would send someone to deal with anyone mocking him, even if it was just a mortal, as long as he found out.

This place was bustling with people, but if her words were leaked, this woman might not survive much longer.

The woman snorted coldly, immediately waved her sleeve, and disappeared into a cloud of mist on the spot. When she reappeared elsewhere, she had turned into a man with a beard; he was, in fact, a man, just disguised as a woman to spectate the battle.

He was also a good friend of Ba Dan.

He was very aware that Ba Dan had come today to embrace death, to wash away his shame with his own blood. The Fangtian Halberd that he lent to Ba Dan was never meant for him to use in combat. He couldn’t die, for if he died, many others would have to die as well.

But...

Even though he had prepared himself and was ready to calmly see his friend through this last journey, the sight before him still made him furious. Why, why wouldn’t you even accept a duel with Ba Dan or even afford him a dignified death?

...

"Is that it?"

The Demon Clan Leader, a man in white who appeared to have exerted no effort at all from beginning to end, slowly descended above Ba Dan, looking down at the massive pool of blood beneath him and chuckled, "Seeing your ferocious approach, I thought you had some kind of ace up your sleeve, but it’s just the same old tricks."

"I’ve been looking for you all this time, and today you delivered yourself to my doorstep, finally settling a matter that’s been on my mind."

"Cough... cough..."

Ba Dan, severely injured and falling to the ground, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Though his body had petrified, it still contained blood, albeit not as much as before, but being of a large build, he had more blood than a regular cultivator.

His eyes, filled with relief, looked up at the Demon Clan Leader smiling down from the sky.

"What now?"

"You think I’ll despair? It was nothing more than the use of your tribe’s ultimate treasure. Back when I held the Barbarian Tribe’s ultimate treasure, you weren’t so arrogant. It’s just that today the Barbarian Tribe isn’t here, otherwise, do you think you’d have it so easy?"

Between his words,

he struggled staggeringly to rise from the ground, preparing for one last counterattack. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

During his attempt to stand up, countless trees toppled, and even the ground trembled slightly.

He had come today seeking death.

But it had to be a death in battle, not mere slaughter; these two were fundamentally different.

Just then—

Ba Dan suddenly froze; he noticed that the Barbarian Tribe Leader was hovering not far away above the Demon Clan Forest and immediately brightened up, bursting into boisterous laughter, "All right, all right, it seems this final battle before death might be somewhat exhilarating."

"Clan leader, lend me the Barbarian Tribe’s ultimate treasure!"

However,

the Barbarian Tribe Leader, upon hearing this, showed no reaction, merely standing aloof in the air.

"Clan leader?"

Ba Dan, somewhat bewildered, called out again: "I am Ba Dan, Immortal King Ba Dan."

"You are no longer." The Barbarian Tribe Leader finally spoke indifferently, "The ultimate treasure of the Barbarian Tribe cannot be lent to you again. The Barbarian Tribe and the Demon Clan have already signed an agreement not to engage in warfare for a thousand years."

"Both sides have negotiated peace; it’s a decision made by the high echelons of both the Barbarian and Demon Clans."

"Negotiate peace?"

Ba Dan froze for a moment, his eyes, which had been calm, suddenly surged with endless rage. He struggled to his feet and roared, "What are you joking about? How can there be a negotiation? The Demon Clan has killed so many of our Barbarian people?"

"My brothers, my friends, my lover, they all died at the hands of the Demon Clan."

"And now you bastards want to negotiate peace with the Demon Clan!"

"What kind of joke is this?!"

"That’s your family, those are your grudges with the Demon Clan." The Barbarian Tribe Leader paused for a bit before continuing expressionlessly, "It’s irrelevant to the Barbarian Tribe. I hope you see the bigger picture, the tribulation is nearing, don’t elevate your personal vendetta to involve the Barbarian Tribe."

"All these years, many people from the Barbarian Tribe have also perished, this conflict has lasted long enough, let it stop now."

"The bigger picture?"

Ba Dan, who had come ready to die to cleanse his shame and break the shackles imposed by Zhao Yishi, stood still, his expression dazed as he looked at the Barbarian Tribe Leader, who seemed utterly foreign to him, muttering, "Such foreign words, you’re setting the bar too high, overestimating me indeed."

"I’m the only Immortal King of the Barbarian Tribe."

"In the Barbarian Tribe my strength is the strongest, but I have never coveted the position of Clan Leader. You tell me to do something, and I do it without thinking too much, just feeling like I spend my days fighting outside, not earning as much merit as you."
