The duel begins!

Lin Xiao's tone was very calm.

His somewhat handsome Face, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, appeared even more striking.

Bing Qinru quietly awaited the youth's answer.

"However..."

Lin Xiao stood up and slowly walked to the window.

"Right now, I have more important things to do. The Demon Race's declaration of war and the threat of the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky all weigh heavily on our generation."

Even that terrifying starry sky giant eye gave Lin Xiao a strange sense of crisis deep within him.

But he didn't mention this matter.

"Lin Xiao, I appreciate your affection. You are also an excellent girl, and very beautiful."

"But, currently, I haven't considered such matters."

"Perhaps, when one day, I, Lin Xiao, truly reach the Peak, and can disregard everything in the world."

At this point, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at the stunning girl before him.

His answer was already very clear.

He had no thoughts of romance at the moment; if fate allowed, they would meet again at the Peak in the future.

He had originally thought that his rejection would make the girl in front of him sad.

But Bing Qinru's reaction greatly surprised him.

Bing Qinru also stood up and walked lightly to his side.

Her delicate hand gently reached out and straightened the collar of his shirt.

"Lin Xiao, I like you. This is my affection. I'm telling you this simply to convey this feeling to you, not to say that we must be together."

Her beautiful eyes also looked out at the sky.

"I grew up in the military camp, accustomed to life and death, and deeply aware of the dangers our country is facing."

"Before I met you, my, Bing Qinru's, life goal was to kill all the foreign races."

"And after meeting you, my goal remains unchanged; I just have an additional reason to intensify my efforts to kill all foreign races!"

Having said this,

Bing Qinru raised her head, looking at his Face so close.

"As you said, our generation has a more important and arduous mission. Personal romance is trivial; the life and death of our nation and race are paramount!"

"Lin Xiao, I will stand behind you, watching you ascend to the Peak step by step. I believe that if it's you, you can definitely do it!"

Bing Qinru waved her fist, showing no trace of disappointment from Lin Xiao's rejection.

"Of course, I will also diligently Cultivate and follow in your footsteps."

"When you reach the Peak, you will find, in that moment of looking back, that I, Bing Qinru, am still behind you."

At this point, Bing Qinru gathered immense courage and stepped slightly forward, wrapping her arms directly around Lin Xiao's waist, burying herself in his chest.

Before Lin Xiao could react, she immediately released him, her cheeks flushed crimson.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say, and there's nothing else. I'll be going now."

Like a child who had done something naughty,

Bing Qinru became shy again, not daring to look into Lin Xiao's eyes, and walked directly towards the door.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt as if he had been taken advantage of!

However, he silently watched the retreating figure of the girl.

A faint smile touched his lips.

"I remember. When that day comes, I will definitely look back. I hope you don't break your promise!"

The girl's boldness, courage, and magnanimity greatly surprised Lin Xiao.

And hearing Lin Xiao's words,

Bing Qinru's steps paused slightly, then became even lighter as she walked away.

A man and a woman, in this villa, made a promise that belonged only to the two of them.

Awaiting their meeting at the Peak in the future!

...This is a region filled with endless Devilish Qi.

The sky here is filled with pitch-black colors, with no distinction of day or night, only endless darkness.

Demon Domain!

This is the dwelling place of the Demon Race, holding a crucial position in the Starry Sky Universe!

Because the Demon Race's strength and foundation are immensely powerful; it is a top-tier Starry Sky Powerful Clan.

At this moment,

within the Demon Race's Domain, preparations are in full swing. Countless Demon Race warriors are gathered, their Faces arrogant, their expressions haughty.

The Demon Race is a race that implements the Law of the jungle to the extreme.

The strong possess absolute power over the life and death of the weak.

A Demon Race Martial Venerable stands before countless individuals. He is the strongest here, and the leader of these Demon Race members.

"My little demons, how long has it been since you tasted the delicious flesh and blood of humans?"

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

Countless Demon Race members cheered. In their eyes, those natives of the Dragon Country were mere food, only fit to become their meal.

"Follow my steps! I will lead you to the front lines of the battlefield, and then you can feast to your heart's content!"

The Demon Race Martial Venerable at this moment reached into space with his right hand and pulled out a human Martial Artist of unknown origin.

In the human's extremely terrified eyes, he directly swallowed him whole.

The exquisite taste made him smack his lips continuously, clearly wanting more.

And the countless Demon Race members below were even more fanatical, all rubbing their fists together, Devilish Qi soaring to the heavens!

"Hahahaha~~~"

This scene was not isolated; similar events were occurring in countless regions across the entire Demon Domain.

The Demon Race's declaration of war was not as the Dragon Country's Martial Saints had suspected, but a genuine racial war!

At this moment, the Demon Race was already in full mobilization.

Countless little demons throughout the entire Demon Domain had been incited.

A racial war was about to erupt!

...Within the Dragon Country,

Seven days had passed!

Yin Changkong arrived at the agreed duel site.

His eyes were utterly indifferent. These days, he had kept himself secluded in a Cultivation chamber.

Of course, it wasn't because he thought he couldn't win and was training hard, but rather, out of sight, out of mind!

He was afraid that he might lose control and pin Lin Xiao to the ground before the duel.

Moreover, after these days of seclusion, his originally somewhat furious emotions had calmed down slightly.

Ultimately, he couldn't kill Lin Xiao.

Although this damned ant had repeatedly caused him to lose Face in front of everyone.

But the position of Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country was already set in stone, and behind him was the shadow of Lin Yaotian.

Killing him was impossible, but giving him a severe lesson was certainly an option!

He had already decided that this time, he would make Lin Xiao deeply understand what it meant for the dignity of a Martial Saint to be inviolable!

No matter how terrifying your talent and brilliance, before you Breakthrough to Martial Saint, if you're a Dragon, you must coil; if you're a tiger, you must crouch!

A moment later,

Lin Xiao also appeared here.

This battlefield was an area specially designated by the Chief for their duel.

Lin Yaotian had even reinforced the spatial barrier of this place.

Although Yin Changkong always believed it was unnecessary, because he would end the battle in one move!

At this moment,

A Martial Saint of the Dragon Country, an existence at the Peak.

A Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country, an invincible Prodigy surpassing ancient and modern times.

The two stood on this battlefield, facing each other.

Outside the arena stood several figures; they were a few Martial Saints who had specifically come to watch this battle.

Hmm, they were forcibly requested to come by Lin Yaotian!

Lin Xiao stood still, his clear, cold Face looking calmly at his opponent.

"Are you ready, Martial Saint Yin Changkong!"
