Chapter 499: Despair

Everyone present was stunned by Li Yang's words. They looked at Mo Xuan's dark expression and trembled, worried his anger might spread to them.

"Audacious!"

Beside Mo Xuan, a man named Mo Xian was also taken aback by Li Yang's words. He then bellowed, "Mu Xu, who do you think you are, daring to speak to my brother like that?"

Li Yang looked at Mo Xuan and said calmly, "Did you not hear me? I said that if you hand over your Divine Artifact as compensation, I will let this matter go."

The war blade on Mo Xuan's back was clearly a Divine Artifact.

He had many avatars now, but only his true self possessed a full set of Divine Artifacts. In reality, he was in dire need of weapons.

"This Mu Xu is really audacious. He's still acting so fearless."

Not far away, the Foxman girl, Ling Yue, shook her head. "Black Shield, I told you not to say anything, and it looks like I was right. If you had spoken up, Mo Xuan would have certainly held a grudge against you."

Judging by Mo Xuan's incredibly dark expression, he was thoroughly enraged with Mu Xu.

At a time like this, anyone who dared to speak up for Mu Xu would undoubtedly be caught in the crossfire of Mo Xuan's rage.

Black Shield said nothing for a moment, then suddenly remarked, "I believe Mu Xu must have an ace up his sleeve."

"What kind of ace?"

The Foxman girl, Ling Yue, frowned. "Does he have backup? Or is he just that powerful? Powerful enough to rival Mo Xuan?"

It was possible, but highly unlikely.

"Let's just watch. If you ask me, Mu Xu is just banking on the fact that Mo Xuan won't dare to attack him in front of such a large crowd," Ling Yue said calmly. "In any case, we didn't get involved, so we have no connection to him. Whatever his fate, it has nothing to do with us."

Everyone watched on. Mo Xuan's expression was indeed incredibly dark.

"Very good, Mu Xu. I admit it, you've managed to anger me."

Mo Xuan's face was grim as he stared at Li Yang. "Now, I'm going to let you experience the price for provoking a Deity!"

BOOM!

Mo Xuan wasted no more time on words. The terrifying might of a Dual Pantheon erupted from him, sweeping directly toward Li Yang.

"He's making his move!"

"What ace could Mu Xu possibly have? How could he be so bold?"

"I bet Mu Xu is hiding his true strength."

"I agree. But even if he is, Mu Xu is only at the World Realm. The best he could do is match an ordinary Deity, and that's pushing it. There's no way he's a match for a Dual Pantheon like Mo Xuan."

"Exactly. If Mu Xu were in the Divine Realm instead of the World Realm, he'd surely have some renown."

Feeling the terrifying pressure from the Dual Pantheon, everyone present scrambled to get away, not daring to go anywhere near Li Yang.

'Haha, Mu Xu, still trying to provoke my brother? Did you think he wouldn't dare attack you just because there's a crowd?'

Mo Xian was laughing inwardly. He knew his brother hadn't attacked Li Yang immediately because he was wary of the rules.

But this Mu Xu showed his brother zero respect. When the weak disrespect the strong, even within the Human Race's territory, it was perfectly normal for the strong to issue a small punishment. No one would bat an eye.

Looking down at the lone figure, Mo Xian felt a surge of excitement. He was about to see Mu Xu crushed by the pressure, unable to even stand.

BOOM! BOOM!

Just then, Mo Xian suddenly felt a terrifying pressure descend upon him. It was so overwhelming he could barely breathe, as if he could be annihilated at any moment.

'What's going on?'

The excitement on Mo Xian's face instantly vanished, replaced by shock.

His brother's aura wasn't targeting him, so he shouldn't have felt anything. But now, this new pressure was bearing down on him directly!

'Did my brother make a mistake?' was Mo Xian's first thought. 'How could his aura hit me too?'

But he immediately dismissed the idea.

His brother had mastered the Fire Element Law and the Wood Element Law, so the pressure from his domain carried a scorching heat.

What he was feeling, however, was an intense cold, tinged with a berserk energy.

Beside Mo Xian, Mo Xuan's expression had also changed drastically.

"Who?!! Show yourself!!!"

He, too, felt the cold, violent aura.

A look of alarm appeared on Mo Xuan's face. He could sense a hint of danger within this oppressive aura.

"Heh heh, Wolf Annihilation, our timing is a bit unfortunate. It seems these members of the Human Race are fighting among themselves."

"I think we should have appeared a little later."

SWISH! SWISH!

As the voices faded, two figures materialized in the void.

One was a giant black wolf, its fur as sharp as steel needles. The other was a leopard-like beast with three eyes, each a different, bizarre color.

The two massive demonic beasts appeared, their cold eyes glinting as they scanned the crowd.

At the sight of these two figures, everyone present—including the Foxman girl, Ling Yue, and Black Shield—paled.

"The Demon Race!"

"How is that possible? Why would powerful experts from the Demon Race appear here?"

"Judging from the fluctuations of their power, they seem even stronger than Mo Xuan!"

The expressions of the many Human Race experts changed.

This was Human Race territory, yet two powerful experts from the Demon Race had just appeared!

"The Demon Race's Dual Pantheons, Wolf Annihilation and Bao Huan!"

Seeing the two demons, Mo Xuan's face fell. He said in a low voice, "How dare you come here?"

Clearly, Mo Xuan recognized the two demons.

Despite his defiant tone, his eyes were filled with apprehension. He knew exactly how powerful Wolf Annihilation and Bao Huan were.

Even experts at the same realm could have vast differences in strength. Though they were all Dual Pantheons, he was no match for either of the two demons before him.

Hearing Mo Xuan's threat, the giant black wolf laughed heartily. "On your own, Mo Xuan?"

His gaze swept across the crowd as he laughed again. "Bao Huan, leave Mo Xuan to me. You kill all the others!"

BOOM!

A terrifying power burst from the giant black wolf as it lunged straight for Mo Xuan!

How vast was the gap between the Peak of World Realm and a Dual Pantheon? It meant instant death!

Even Bao Huan alone could easily slaughter everyone here in a matter of moments.

Of course, there was a chance someone might reveal incredible strength and be able to resist them.

If such a person appeared, they would be even more thrilled, as it would likely be the human Li Yang or Mixed Void in disguise!

They made no effort to hide their words, which reached the ears of everyone present.

Hearing this, absolute terror filled the eyes of everyone in the crowd.

"These two demons came here to kill us!"

"Run! Run for your lives!"

"I can't accept this! I just arrived on the Slaughter Battlefield, and now I'm going to die?"

...
