Such events left Shi Tian Mo Di in shock, followed by a surge of anger.
It could never have imagined that, with its dignified status as Mo Di, it would actually be forced back half a step by Wu Tian!
Although a large part of this was due to its own carelessness.
But regardless, Wu Tian was merely a high-grade Immortal!
Someone it could crush with a mere flick of its wrist.
Yet, he was now capable of such a feat.
This was unacceptable to it—
Absolutely unacceptable!
At this moment, Wu Tian swallowed another Qi Replenishing Pill and said to Shi Tian Mo Di:
"Shouldn't this match be considered my victory now?"
"If so, shouldn't you honor your bet and admit defeat?"
Shi Tian Mo Di remained silent for a long while, then fixed its gaze on Wu Tian with its eerie green eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Human, who exactly are you, and why do you possess the power of the Sacred Dragon within you?"
Wu Tian replied coldly, "I am under no obligation to answer your questions."
"What I want now is an answer from you: were you just... forced back by me?"
Regarding this question, Shi Tian Mo Di offered no defense.
It nodded and said, "You are correct."
"Even if you only pushed me back half a step, you still accomplished it, so I will not argue."
"However..."
At this point, Shi Tian Mo Di's tone suddenly turned sinister.
"If you intend to leave here today, that is still impossible!"
Although Wu Tian had anticipated this response, hearing Shi Tian Mo Di say it still caused his expression to turn grim.
He said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? Are you truly going back on your word?"
Shi Tian Mo Di stated, "If you had achieved this through human strength alone, I might still acknowledge you."
"But since you possess the power of the Sacred Dragon, I absolutely cannot let you leave."
"Although I was confined to this space during the final battle, I am fully aware of what transpires outside."
"The Sacred Dragon clearly perished at the hands of the Venerable One, yet you can still wield its power."
"This indicates that you must be the successor of the Sacred Dragon, correct?"
"An existence like you is something our demon race absolutely cannot tolerate."
"Therefore, once you assumed that identity, our wager became void."
"You must die today, no matter what!"
Hearing this, Wu Tian let out a cold laugh, "After all that talk, you simply don't intend to honor the agreement, do you?"
"Don't think I don't know your intentions. You were just confident that I wouldn't be able to force you back."
"And as long as I achieved that, you could renege on the bet, citing me as a threat to the demon race, regardless of what power I possessed."
"So, in the end, you win no matter what, isn't that right?"
Wu Tian's words were blunt, unsparingly exposing Shi Tian Mo Di's hypocrisy.
Shi Tian Mo Di snorted, "So noisy. Being too clever isn't always a good thing!"
As it spoke the last sentence, Shi Tian Mo Di's tone became abruptly stern.
Then, Wu Tian felt something terrifying descend from the heavens, pressing down heavily upon him!
In that instant, he had no room to resist at all.
He was slammed to the ground, the impact even creating a deep, human-shaped crater in the earth!
His face was buried in the dirt. Despite gritting his teeth and squeezing out all his immortal energy,
Under such terrifying pressure, he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly incapable of resisting.
This feeling...
It was as if the entire sky had fallen upon him!
Under this immense pressure, Wu Tian felt his entire body about to explode.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his ribs pierced his lungs, nearly causing him to suffocate to death on the spot.
Shi Tian Mo Di hovered in the air, looking down at Wu Tian as if he were an insect, and said:
"Too insignificant. Even if you inherited the Sacred Dragon's power, you are still too insignificant to me!"
"I think it's time to end this farce. You can die now."
As it spoke, Shi Tian Mo Di extended a finger.
A dormant black energy immediately swirled and gathered at its fingertip, eventually forming a dark point of light.
Its aura was so indifferent, showing no trace of mercy.
Soon, a beam of black light, powerful enough to pierce through heaven and earth, shot from its fingertip, descending directly towards Wu Tian!
If struck by this attack, not only Wu Tian, but even a true immortal would have no escape but death!
At this moment, Wu Tian had become a bloodied mess.
Although he could not lift his head, he could still feel the unimaginable killing intent.
But now, he was truly helpless.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only transform his rage into a roar, shouting:
"Damn it, damn it!"
The black beam, carrying the power to pierce through everything, struck Wu Tian in mere seconds.
Instantly, an unimaginable explosion erupted.
The earth and rocks burst forth like a fountain, soaring hundreds of meters high.
The thick dust and fog then spread out like a sandstorm, engulfing everything around.
"Wu Tian!"
Witnessing this horrifying scene, Lei Qian Jiao's delicate face contorted in extreme distress.
However, it was precisely this momentary distraction that caused her, already on her last legs, to be struck down by the demonic creature before her.
The creature unleashed a beam of light that pierced her shoulder.
She could not help but cry out in pain, her clothes immediately soaked in blood.
At this moment, it wasn't just her; the entire situation in Sacred Thunder City had completely turned in favor of the demons.
Even with so many Thunder God Puppets providing support within the city, they were unable to withstand the frenzied assault of the demonic creatures.
The casualties among the humans had exceeded half, including five high-grade Immortals!
No one knew what to do, or rather, it was already impossible to break through the impasse!
This meant that all of them would die here today!
Looking at the two demonic creatures advancing towards her, Lei Qian Jiao gritted her teeth tightly.
She had always taken pride in her strength, but now she truly understood that it was not enough, far from enough...
But it was meaningless to realize this now.
She would have no more time for cultivation; she was about to die here.
"Wu Tian, wait for me. I'll be with you soon."
She had lost all will to fight. Closing her eyes, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
