85: Chapter 85 She's Going to Lose

"Great-Grandfather, you called me here, is it because you want me to use the Precision Technique to lock onto the demon beast within the mist?"

White Elephant King nodded and said, "That is correct. Even with my strength as a King, I cannot see what is inside the mist. I suspect the opponent has used some secret treasure or technique to isolate my primordial spirit's exploration."

After understanding, Bai Xuaner immediately activated her Foundation Technique.

Precision Object Identification.

As Bai Xuaner released her divine sense, every movement in the surroundings was revealed to her.

However, when she saw the true form of the tentacles, she was so startled that she shuddered, nearly losing her soul.

"How could it be it?" Bai Xuaner exclaimed.

White Elephant King looked puzzled, "Xuaner, is it something you recognize inside?"

After retracting her divine sense, Bai Xuaner nodded to White Elephant King, and then, amidst the solemn expressions of the crowd, she revealed the origin of this creature.

"Do you remember the tentacle Demon King you slew twenty years ago, Great-Grandfather? It is that Demon King from back then."

"What?" White Elephant King could not believe it and hurriedly grabbed Bai Xuaner's arm, saying, "Xuaner, this is no joking matter. Did you truly see clearly that this thing is the Demon King from back then?"

Seeing Bai Xuaner nod earnestly, White Elephant King's heart skipped a beat.

Just then, Bai Xuaner picked up a soldier's long halberd and prepared to go slay the demon.

"The creature from back then has reappeared today. Great-Grandfather, we must kill it."

"But you are currently injured, and you do not have a demon-slaying blade. How can you kill it?"

White Elephant King naturally did not want Bai Xuaner to take such a risk.

Back then, to kill that Demon King, both of Bai Xuaner's parents had died in battle. By the time he arrived, there were no living beings left in the area except for that Demon King.

The citizens of an entire city, two Great Sun Realm Divine Venerables, plus his own use of a King-level secret technique, were required to kill it.

With such a tragic price, sending Bai Xuaner alone now—isn't that just sending her to her death?

"Here." Just as the grandfather and granddaughter were pulling at each other, Kang Dalei simply handed over the mid-grade demon-slaying blade he had just finished upgrading.

This moved Bai Xuaner so much that she kicked him far away with one foot before fiercely cursing, "Get lost."

Picking up the demon-slaying blade, Bai Xuaner jumped down without the slightest hesitation. She wanted to slay the demon; she wanted to avenge her parents.

White Elephant King wanted to stop her, but as one of the Seven Kings of the World, how could he bring himself to speak?

If others can slay demons, why can't his Bai family members go down the city wall to do the same?

Moreover, he could not easily leave Xibai Pass, so White Elephant King had to shift his gaze to Kang Dalei.

He attempted to get Kang Dalei to step in and assist Bai Xuaner.

However, as if he knew he would be asked for help, Kang Dalei had long since hidden far away, which made White Elephant King's blood pressure rise by thirty.

"Kid, what are you hiding for?" White Elephant King snorted with dissatisfaction.

Kang Dalei replied very seriously, "If I don't hide, you'll just send me down to die."

"You." White Elephant King was momentarily speechless.

But he immediately added, "Xuaner is to be your wife in the future. Do you want her to die?"

"Well, about that..."

Before Kang Dalei could finish, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and then a man in green armor covered in lightning appeared.

"Xuaner must, of course, be well protected."

The moment the man appeared, he first glared at Kang Dalei, then turned to White Elephant King and bowed, saying, "Uncle Bai, how have you been lately?"

Seeing the armored youth, White Elephant King was filled with surprise. "Xuyi, why are you here?"

The armored youth smiled and said, "I heard that Uncle Bai intends to betroth Xuaner to some country bumpkin, so I came specifically to take a look."

He emphasized the word "specifically" heavily.

In the Cangyuan World, who didn't know he liked Bai Xuaner? Now that someone was trying to compete with him, if he didn't show up, they would really think his status as Bai Xuaner's simp was just for show.

"This..." White Elephant King was somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

Kang Dalei was his choice, but since the armored youth was here to help, he really couldn't say anything.

Seeing White Elephant King's odd reaction, the armored youth assumed that White Elephant King didn't like Kang Dalei either, and that he only betrothed Bai Xuaner to him for some reason, perhaps to repay a favor.

Thus, amidst their puzzled expressions, he confidently took out two items and handed them to White Elephant King and Kang Dalei respectively.

"One is a marriage proposal letter, the other is compensation for you giving up on Xuaner. Take a look; these are likely good things you will never obtain in your entire life."

The armored youth held his head high with great confidence.

Kang Dalei was not polite; he directly took the gift box and opened it.

"Damn it, are you kidding me?"

With just one look, Kang Dalei was furious.

What kind of trash is this? Daring to show off with such measly items—they aren't even worth as much as a single item from the Qian Family treasures.

"If you can't afford a decent price, get lost with your things."

Kang Dalei handed the things back to the armored youth.

"Here, take your things back, and stop pestering Bai Xuaner after you give her up."

The armored youth took back the gift box he had sent, momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until he saw the look of disdain on Kang Dalei's face that he completely exploded.

"You bastard, you dare to look down on me?"

That look of disdain—how could it come from the eyes of a country bumpkin? He was the one who should be giving that look.

"Kid, I want you dead."

"Come on, you hick, I'll beat you until you cry in minutes."

"Enough, both of you."

Seeing the two of them arguing more and more outrageously, White Elephant King finally changed from his previous amiable demeanor, a hint of chill appearing on his face.

"You are both outstanding talents of the younger generation; how can you disregard the occasion and recklessly insult each other? I have decided: whoever resolves today's demon beast tide siege shall be Xuaner's fiancé."

After saying this, White Elephant King stuffed the marriage proposal letter back into the other person's hand, the meaning self-evident.

If you want to marry Xuaner, win this contest first.

Upon hearing that he could marry Bai Xuaner just by repelling this demon beast tide, the armored youth was so happy he lost his bearings, whereas Kang Dalei appeared very calm.

With so many demons, even a Marquis-level expert would be intimidated. A mid-stage Undying Realm cultivator—he didn't know what the guy was so excited about.

"Uh, I quit."

Kang Dalei was about to tell White Elephant King that he was quitting the competition, but the armored youth, upon hearing the first two words, thought Kang Dalei was trying to steal his credit and immediately rushed out.

He even shouted triumphantly, "You country bumpkin, if you want to marry Xuaner, you have to ask me first."

The armored youth rushed out, his Divine Statue Manifestation fully activated, and for a while, he slaughtered large swaths of demon beasts.

Because the mist was being suppressed by Bai Xuaner at this moment, this kid managed to show off quite a bit.

With a spear and full armor, he did indeed have the aura of someone shouting at Changban Slope and scaring off 800,000 Cao troops.

You wouldn't think I'm talking about Zhao Yun, would you? Comparing him to Zhao Zilong? He doesn't deserve it. If there's a comparison, it should be the protagonist.

Comparing him to the fierce Zhang Fei is already giving him face.

With the armored youth's participation, the pressure on Bai Xuaner lessened quite a bit.

However, even with the mid-grade demon-slaying blade borrowed from Kang Dalei, it was unlikely for Bai Xuaner to slay the opponent with her current strength.

"No, this cannot continue, otherwise not only the citizens but even I might not be able to escape."

After cutting off an incoming void tentacle with one stroke, Bai Xuaner's face began to turn pale.

If she were in her prime, she would be confident, but now, she had truly been a bit reckless.

She shouldn't have been so eager to act and avenge her parents.

"She is going to lose."

On the city wall, Kang Dalei watched the battle between the human and the demon in the distance, and he could not help but think to himself.
