Xing Tie: Wait a minute! How come Weng Xing has two saviors?

A thick, towering pillar of pure white light, as pure as a temple pillar, burst forth from Bai Mo's side without warning!

The bombardment struck with unparalleled precision on the open ground between the isolated, suspended army formation and the towering walls of Ohmma!

The earth trembled violently! A violent energy shockwave exploded outwards in a ring!

The ground touched by the beam of light instantly vaporized and melted, forming a bottomless crater!

The permafrost within a radius of tens of meters cracked and flew off like fragile glass!

Countless stones and mud were violently grabbed by an invisible giant hand and hurled into the sky, forming a torrential downpour of mud and rocks that pelted down on both sides!

Smoke and dust filled the air, and Wan Di's words were stuck in his throat.

The contempt on his face froze instantly, and his crimson-gold pupils contracted sharply at the sudden, almost divine punishment-like sight!

The isolated army behind him was in an uproar, with obvious commotion in the ranks. The soldiers in the front row even subconsciously took a half step back, and their warhorses neighed restlessly.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Bai Mo's calm figure was revealed, as if the earth-shattering attack just now had nothing to do with him.

He patted off non-existent dust from his clothes and looked at Wan Di again.

Wan Di: "..." He remained silent for a full three breaths, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he were processing this exaggerated scene.

Finally, with an unusually slight stiffness, he honestly said, "...I admire your...courage." Even he himself felt that what he said sounded a little off.

"Enough with the nonsense." Bai Mo's tone was crisp and decisive, as if he were discussing what to have for dinner.

“I know you just want to find a place for your people to settle down, and I respect your tradition of deciding everything in a duel.”

He emphasized the word "duel." "So, let's duel, you and me. To avoid unnecessary casualties among ordinary soldiers."

"If I win, let's sit down and have a proper talk, shall we?" Bai Mo proposed.

A strange light flashed in Wan Di's crimson-gold eyes: Heh, still an impatient one, and... seems to know me quite well? But, dare to challenge me one-on-one? Interesting.

“I like your personality,” Wan Di’s voice regained some of its lion-like arrogance, his massive fist slowly clenching, the knuckles emitting a chilling crack.

“And I admire your courage. So…” He grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, his smile radiating pure and wild fighting spirit, “I will give you a fitting, warrior’s end! I promise!”

"Alright." Bai Mo nodded, pointing to the massive army behind Wan Di. "Have your troops retreat. Clear us a clearing of open space where we can 'make our way.' Don't get in our way."

The isolated army remained silent, and at the signal of a single glance from Wan Di, they retreated in unison a hundred paces (about 100 meters).

"Retreat again!" Bai Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable penetrating power.

The isolated army retreated another three hundred paces (about three hundred meters).

Bai Mo sighed, sweeping his gaze over the Xuanfeng army with the look of utter disbelief: "You think that at 300 meters... your prince, who can throw mountains like sandbags, won't be killed by the aftershocks of our battle?" He raised his voice, his tone clearly sarcastic: "Get back to 1000 meters away! The farther the better!"

"Roar—!" A furious roar of discontent erupted from the Suspended Vanguard Army, the soldiers feeling insulted.

But amidst the commotion, an old soldier with white hair and beard shouted a few words of rebuke.

In the end, this fierce army, filled with intense resentment and anger, retreated like a herd of beasts, finally stopping only after retreating to a small hill a kilometer away from the center.

Many soldiers craned their necks, staring intently in Bai Mo's direction.

"Good lad!" Wan Di, far from being angry, let out a booming laugh, his eyes burning with even more fighting spirit! He cracked his neck, producing a series of crisp sounds, his bulging muscles undulating like a living dragon.

A visible, dark red energy wave, carrying the scent of sulfur, rose from his body, causing the ground beneath his feet to silently cave in and crack! The sheer power of that aura was so terrifying that even the soldiers on the city wall felt a sense of suffocation!

"I'll see what you're capable of! Do you think my king is one of those pleasure-seeking, body-wasting senators in your city?!" Wan Di's roar was like thunder, echoing across the wilderness.

Bai Mo thought to himself: See, this is what you call reputation. Even the enemy knows they're no good.

"Wan Di, prepare." Bai Mo seemed oblivious to the terrifying pressure that was enough to crush an ordinary person.

He slowly pulled a coin from his pocket, its metal gleaming coldly. "See this?" he asked, showing the coin to Wan Di.

Wan Di's crimson-gold eyes locked onto the small coin, and he nodded slightly.

“The rules are simple,” Bai Mo’s voice was clear and calm. “I will toss them high into the air.”

While the coin is in the air, we can begin preparing any means necessary.

The moment it hit the ground and made a sound—" He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife, "the duel officially begins! Any objections?"

Chapter 58 A Thousand Enemies: The Styx Marathon? Go, go, go! Let's go!

Wan Di frowned almost imperceptibly. This was completely different from the traditional duels he was familiar with, where they involved face-to-face shouts, charges, and then a tug-of-war.

But… the power they displayed deserves respect, and these rules seem fair. He said in a deep voice, “Although they are different… the guest should follow the host’s lead. As you wish!”

"Okay." A very faint, very quick smile appeared on Bai Mo's lips, so quick that it seemed like an illusion.

The moment the words fell!

Bai Mo flicked the Li Heng coin upwards with elegant precision, holding it between his fingers!

A slight spatial fluctuation rippled out behind Bai Mo, and a [Hundred Realms Gate], emitting a pale yellow light and barely wide enough for one person to pass through, silently opened behind him, like the gaping maw of an abyss ready to devour anyone who dared to cross it.

Bai Mo: Kids, the game is over, I'm going to slip away first.

Under everyone's gaze, the small metal coin, with a cold arc of light, spun high into the azure sky!

The light from the dawn machine danced on its smooth surface, reflecting a blinding gleam.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment!

Wan Di's muscles tensed to their limit instantly! The dark red energy wave erupted, forming a blurry, roaring phantom of a giant beast behind him!

The ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly! He bent his knees slightly, assuming the charging stance of the Suspended Blade Royal Family!

As soon as the coin lands with a soft thud, he will transform into a destructive hurricane that tears through space, completely crushing Bai Mo before him!

The sense of power that had been building up made the warriors on the edge of the mountain, a kilometer away, feel their blood boil and couldn’t help but let out a suppressed growl!

The coin rose to its highest point, hovered briefly, and then... began to fall!

Everyone's heart was in their throat! The air was as still as steel!

Wan Di's blood was roaring! Power surged through every muscle fiber! His mind was highly focused, all his senses locked on the falling coin! He was waiting for that one sound—

The coin is getting closer and closer to the ground... five meters... three meters... one meter...

Just as the metal edge of the coin touched the sharp corner of a protruding pebble below!

A stirring background music seemed to appear in everyone's ears.

Life, can you please spare me this time? In my next life, I just want to be a child who never grows up...

Buzz—Boom!

A terrifying sonic boom, not an explosion but more heart-stopping than an explosion, so deep that even space itself seemed to groan, tore through the air less than ten meters from Wan Di's side without warning!

It was a giant pillar with a diameter of over one meter and a length of over three meters, made entirely of some strange stone that shimmered with starlight and cold light!

Its appearance was completely illogical! It was as if it had been forcibly "squeezed" out of space itself! And when it appeared, it carried with it terrifying, destructive kinetic energy that was close to the speed of sound!

0.03 seconds!

Wan Di's reflexes, which surpassed even those of a dragon, were so fast that he only had time to let the cold, deathly gray shadow that filled his entire field of vision be reflected in his crimson-gold pupils!

0.03 seconds!

He didn't even have time to think! No time to be afraid! And no time to make any effective defensive or evasive maneuvers!

His proud, powerful body, capable of withstanding a battering ram, was as fragile as a tattered rag doll in the face of this sudden attack aided by the laws of physics!

Bang—crackling—boom!

A terrifying muffled sound that made your scalp tingle and your teeth ache, a mixture of twisting metal, shattering bones, and exploding rocks!

The moment Wan Di's majestic, mountain-like figure touched the giant pillar, it was as if he had been hit head-on by a star train traveling at full speed!

The dark red protective energy on his body, strong enough to withstand a barrage of crossbow bolts, vanished instantly like soap bubbles! His sturdy bones emitted a series of terrifying, rapid explosions!

Completely disfigured, he was violently and effortlessly slammed into the giant stone pillar, then swept away, turning into a blurry, bloody afterimage, and plowed away from the walls of Ohma at a speed far exceeding that of any vehicle!

Wherever the giant pillar passed, it plowed a terrifying trench several meters deep into the earth, burning with intense frictional heat!

Soil, rocks, and stray animals that couldn't escape—everything that stood in their way was instantly reduced to dust!

A distance of several hundred meters is covered in the blink of an eye!

Boom! ! ! ! ! !

Another deafening roar shook the earth, and even soldiers a kilometer away felt their eardrums pierce!

The colossal stone pillar, which had carried terrifying kinetic energy, finally disintegrated like a giant bomb being detonated, nearly 500 meters from its starting point, under the extreme release of kinetic energy and structural stress!

Boom—! Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Countless irregularly shaped and varying-sized stone fragments, their edges rubbed until they were red-hot, shot out wildly in all directions like the Grim Reaper's scythe, accompanied by a piercing shriek.

Within a radius of nearly 100 meters, everything above ground—rocks, dead trees, small mounds, and even a few unfortunate rodents—was torn apart, pierced, and reduced to nothing in this devastating metal storm!

All that remained was a colossal, charred crater with a sunken center and radiating cracks and burn marks along its edges, and at the bottom of the crater... a charred "object" that could barely be identified as human, a bloody mess with shattered bones, almost unrecognizable as a human.

The few clothes on the object that were originally on it had long since turned to ashes due to the high-speed friction and impact.

Just before the coin hit the ground, he didn't even turn his head; he simply leaned back gracefully and calmly.

Bai Mo: The coin landed, I leaned back, and that's it!

His figure vanished as if erased by an eraser, instantly disappearing into the [Hundred Realms Gate] that had been prepared behind him.

With a flash of light, the portal closed instantly, vanishing without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The coin, at this moment, jingled once, bounced once more on the protruding, sharp corner of the gravel, and then lay quietly on the earth, scorched black by the aftershocks of the beam of light.

Bai Mo: You're going to hit the jackpot!

And the "object" at the bottom of the pit was none other than the arrogant Prince of Suspended Peak—Wan Di, who had just been as invincible as a lion.

[An individual was detected whose vital signs have completely disappeared within the observation range.]

[Core protocol activated.]

This individual...

Wait a minute! What is that?

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

System, what's going on here?

Isn't Wan Di supposed to be immortal? How did you manage to collect that?

[If someone is killed, they die. What's wrong with that?]

Bai Mo choked for a moment, then... what happens after collecting them?

[I've already created the file, collected all the data, and all the abilities are with me, so of course he's dead. He had no choice but to die.]

Bai Mo: ...Can you return it?

"You didn't want him to die? Then why were you so ruthless?"

System! Return it now!

Okay, okay.

The remnants of Wan Di's consciousness: Wha...what is this? Hiss—why do I feel so dizzy? How come when I close my eyes and open them...I'm here to fight the River Styx?

Wait... something's not right? Why did it take so long to wake up in the River Styx? Never mind... go! go! go! Let's go!

Chapter 59 Bai Mo: I used all my strength, how are you still alive?

After completing his marathon in the underworld, Master Wan opened his eyes again in the deep pit.

In the deep pit, the charred and blurry "object" suddenly and strangely twitched!

Immediately afterwards, an intensely dark red light, thick with the smell of sulfur and blood, surged wildly from inside the "object" like viscous magma!

The shattered bones made a teeth-grinding cracking sound as they were forcibly pieced together and repositioned at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The charred flesh peeled off and regenerated as if boiling! A powerful life force erupted like a volcanic eruption!

In just a few breaths!

Wan Di, completely unharmed, with his skin even turning bronze again and his muscles perfectly smooth, stood up abruptly from the bottom of the pit, looking utterly bewildered!

He shook his head, his crimson-gold eyes filled with unbelievable absurdity and rage. He subconsciously touched his muscular chest—the feeling of being crushed was incredibly real!
