Rumble!
A violent explosion shook the sky, but it was not because the annihilation cannons had hit the space tunnel, but because the bone warships had shot out energy cannons and intercepted the annihilation cannons!
Qinchuan swore that today was definitely the day with the most strong winds he had ever seen. Moreover, they were not natural winds. They were all caused by explosions!
Seeing that the annihilation cannons had been intercepted, Qinchuan thought that the tenth legion would stop attacking the space tunnel. However, he had underestimated the ferocity of the tenth legion. The entire fleet, a total of twelve warships, all the laser cannons, battleship cannons, and annihilation cannons lit up with dazzling light. They aimed at the space tunnel and fired in unison!
This time, the bone warships were no longer able to block the attack of the tenth legion. The pale and skinny palm that had appeared before once again appeared in the sky, blocking the front of the space tunnel!
The palm seemed to have a magical power that could contain all kinds of power. It actually compressed all the attacks of the tenth legion into its palm. With a casual swing, it shot the extremely unstable and terrifying power back at the tenth legion's fleet!
Just as this violent power was about to hit the tenth legion's fleet, a strange black crack suddenly appeared in the sky and devoured the power completely, as if nothing had happened!
Above the black crack, a figure in a dark green military uniform stood upright. With a light wave of his right hand wearing a white glove, the black crack dissipated into nothingness!
At the east gate, Qinchuan looked at the scene in front of him in shock. He was completely stunned. Could such a terrifying ability really be possessed by a human?!
"That's Qin Jue!"
Lü Zi looked excitedly at the woman in military uniform standing in the sky and said to Qinchuan, "Our Star Dragon Federation's only female general, Qin Jue!"
"She's so powerful!"
Qinchuan looked up at the figure in the sky and was shocked. Based on his feelings, he felt that Su Youluo was definitely not Qin Jue's match!
"Qin Jue is known as the number one expert below the Nascent Soul stage in the military. It is said that he is already at the half-step Nascent Soul stage and is only half a step away from the true Nascent Soul stage!"
Zhu Feng looked at Qin Jue in the sky with envy. If there was anyone in the Star Dragon Federation who was most likely to become the next Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it would definitely be Qin Jue!
Just as everyone was discussing about Qin Jue's appearance, a skinny figure slowly appeared above the Demon Race's bone battleship. He was hunched over and had white hair. He looked like an old man with one foot in the grave. His entire body was emitting a heavy aura of death!
Seeing this figure, the valiant Qin Jue couldn't help but frown slightly. He said in a low voice, "It's actually you, Lion Duke!"
"Little girl, we meet again, cough cough."
The old man called Lion Duke coughed lightly and slowly took two steps forward. However, in an instant, he crossed a distance of tens of kilometers and arrived in front of Qin Jue in the blink of an eye!
The people standing on the eastern city gate were finally able to clearly see the true appearance of the owner of the pale-white palm!
"It's actually Lion Duke!" Zhu Feng looked at the old man in the sky in shock and exclaimed, "How could it be him?!"
"Who is he?" Qinchuan was a little puzzled. Why did Zhu Feng look so terrified?
Lü Zi looked deeply at Qinchuan and said, "As far as I know, the Demon Race only has one Lion Duke. He is the king of the Lion Race, a Demon King!"
Demon King!
Just these two words made Qinchuan suck in a breath of cold air. A Demon King was an existence equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage expert!
"If there is anyone who is the most terrifying in the war between us humans and demons, it must be this Lion Duke. Every time he appears in the territory of our human race, he will set off a storm of blood!
According to rumors, seventy years ago, Lion Duke once fought a bloody battle with the Supreme Elder of the Mysterious Sky Sect, Chu Xinghe. In that battle, Chu Xinghe died. Although Lion Duke didn't die, he was beaten to the point that his cultivation realm dropped and there was no more news of him. I thought that Lion Duke was dead, but I didn't expect him to still be alive! "
Lü Zi never thought that she would meet a peerless Demon King like Lion Duke here today!
Qinchuan also never thought that the Elf City would be so lively today. It was not enough that a battle between Gold Core stage experts had appeared. Now, even the half-step Nascent Soul stage and the former Demon King had appeared!
"The last time this old man saw you, you were just a little girl. I didn't expect that in just seventy years, the little girl from back then had already become a great general. Your cultivation has also grown to such an astonishing level."
Lion Duke chuckled. Like a kind-looking elder, he gently spoke simple words to Qin Jue. However, such a Lion Duke couldn't make people feel the slightest bit of kindness. Only a dense chill filled everyone's hearts!
"I didn't expect that you would still be alive."
Qin Jue looked deeply at Lion Duke and said, "The former peerless Demon King has now been reduced to colluding with the rats. How sad."
In the past, Lion Duke had always acted together with his own clan or powerful demon clans like the Wolf Clan and Tiger Clan. The Rat Clan was not worthy of being placed in his eyes. But now, Lion Duke had appeared with the Rat Clan. It was likely that he had yet to recover from his serious injuries seventy years ago and had lost his right to speak in the Demon Clan. Otherwise, with Lion Duke's temper, he wouldn't be talking nonsense with Qin Jue here.
"As demons, there is no distinction between high and low. On the other hand, you humans have many aristocratic families and sects. You are best at bullying commoners."
Lion Duke's tone was calm and his expression was calm. If not for his identity as a demon, he would have looked like a knowledgeable scholar.
"Your injuries have yet to recover, so you might not be my match. If we fight for nothing, I will at most lose some strength, but you might make things worse." Qin Jue looked at Lion Duke with a deep gaze and said, "Let's end this battle here. How about it?"
If he was facing an ordinary Demon Commander, Qin Jue wouldn't have spoken so politely to him. However, Lion Duke was different. Although Lion Duke didn't seem to have many years left to live and was lifeless, Qin Jue knew in his heart that if Lion Duke really wanted to go all out, she would definitely not be his match. At that time, not to mention the tenth army, the entire Elf City would die!
The reason he let Lion Duke go now was not because he was afraid of retreating, but for the sake of the overall situation!
It was not worth it to use the lives of the tenth army and tens of millions of people in the Elf City to exchange for the life of a Demon King who would only live for a few days!
"Hehe, now that I'm here, how can I leave so easily?"
Lion Duke smiled lightly and said, "If I can't return to the position of Demon King, I won't be able to live for long. If you want to stop me, then go ahead."
"What do you want?"
Qin Jue frowned fiercely. There was no benefit in fighting with Lion Duke. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't want to take this step!
