This is undoubtedly an overwhelming situation. Nangong Lie has absolutely no chance of winning, his elite army of 200,000 troops, has mostly given up on resistance as each Demon Saint reveals their True Body one after another.
The remaining fraction lacks the ability and will to resist Chen Yuan's forces, rely acting on instinct.
"Chen Yuan... You are ruthless!"
Nangong Lie raised his head, staring intently at Chen Yuan.
This ti, it was almost as if Chen Yuan had thrown all his forces into the fray. If at this mont, Xiang Qianqiu or other forces were to launch a surprise attack on Shuzhou,
the power he had built would collapse in an instant.
If other forces unite, they could surely trap Chen Yuan here, yet he acted without hesitation, proving truly heartless.
Chen Yuan was surrounded by Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, as ominous clouds gathered, appearing from a distance like a world-class devil displaying his own divine might.
He gazed at Nangong Lie, eyes indifferent.
After the previous skirmish, he had concluded that Nangong Lie was certainly not his match, not even qualifying as an opponent.
His opponents can only rise higher, not lower.
Once he dealt with Nangong Lie, though he would face imnse pressure, he could still control South State, expand his power, and take the initiative.
Simply put, it is... worth it!
"Do you know what would happen if you left us here?" Nangong Lie continued, but Chen Yuan did not respond.
Instead, he continued muttering to himself:
"If you leave us here and take South State, millions of demon soldiers from Southern Border, dozens of Demon Saints and gods will personally head to Zhen Nan Pass and attack the Central Plains.
Occupying Southern Shu and South State, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and having more than a dozen Yang God True Monarchs under your command, you'll also beco a target for the world's rebel kings, who will rise up against you.
By then, with assaults from both north and south, do you think you can maintain your position as King Yan?"
"So?"
Chen Yuan slowly asked back.
"You and I make peace, I, Nangong Lie, am willing to submit to you, guarding the frontier on your behalf, while you go on to conquer other rebel kings, thus achieving great deeds.
Isn't it better than the current situation?
Killing brings you no benefit; on the contrary, if you'd spare , with my assistance, why wouldn't you be able to unify the world and command the Human World?"
Nangong Lie saw the tide had turned, and at this mont, had no choice but to beg Chen Yuan to spare him, to save his own life.
"You... are you worthy?"
"Hahaha... I know you look down on , but since ancient tis, those who achieve great things are not tied down by petty matters. Without a broad mind, how can you win people's trust?
You can spare my life; with , you wouldn't need to fight others, thus avoiding unnecessary conflicts. Isn't this wonderful? I know you don't trust , to show sincerity, I'm willing to take a Heart Demon Blood Oath, allowing you to place a prohibition on my Primordial Spirit... keeping alive is more beneficial than killing .
With around, South State will definitely not resist, and you, being one of the smartest people in the world, should know the weight of choices. In this defeat, as a king, I've lost, you've won, you should seize everything. I don't ask for much, just to survive..."
Nangong Lie took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"What you say makes so sense."
"So, does His Majesty King Yan agree?"
"No."
"Why?"
"If this were rely a matter of victory and defeat, sparing your life would be no problem. But the one thing I cannot tolerate in this life is betrayal of the Human Race and collusion with outsiders.
You, Nangong Lie, having done this, are destined for only one path, and that is death!"
Chen Yuan's gaze hardened. This is an absolutely intolerable bottom line, and he couldn't trust soone like Nangong Lie. Besides, keeping him around, where is Qi Fortune?
Could it be that he should just slowly cultivate painstakingly?
After experiencing the joy of rapid progress, how could one adapt to struggling painstakingly again?
"No room for negotiation?"
Nangong Lie's brows furrowed.
"The mont you colluded with the demon race to attack Shushan, any room ceased to exist."
With a flash, Emperor Slaughter Saber erged from Chen Yuan's hand.
"Hehe... hehehe... it's said you, Chen Yuan, are extrely hypocritical, always putting interests first, but now it seems, it's not entirely true. Then let's do it!
I have traversed the Human World for hundreds of years as a key figure, able to fall at your hands is no disgrace."
Nangong Lie, too, possessed so spirit. Since Chen Yuan wouldn't relent, there was no need to say more—it could only end in death.
A victor or vanquished king, he hadn't foreseen such a day but didn't find it unjust.
"It should have always been this way."
Chen Yuan's body surged with Qi and blood, five organs resonated, dazzling light shone, and in an instant, he reached Nangong Lie, throwing a punch.
"Boom!"
The terrifying sound exploded in the void.
With just one strike, Chen Yuan's overwhelming power directly knocked the Golden Mace out of Nangong Lie's hand, and with a second strike, he grasped Nangong Lie's arm.
With a sudden pull.
Nangong Lie's left arm was torn off!
In the previous skirmish, Nangong Lie was already severely wounded, now facing Chen Yuan's full combat power, he lost almost all resistance in just a short mont.
Though abandoning the sword, Chen Yuan's combat strength hadn't waned at all, and he intended to hamr him to death in front of the tens of thousands of Zhen Nan troops.
