"You give me a choice?"
The three-headed demon was surprised that this individual could speak the common tongue of Tethys. He had to admit, from the moment Bai Ye appeared, his confidence in conquering this land had vanished.
However, no one had ever made him feel so intimidated that he would bow his head and obey at first sight!
Bai Ye's arrogance and condescending attitude made him extremely uncomfortable! Yet, he did not immediately retaliate, remaining silent.
Hou Ying retreated to the side, observing quietly as if he were an outsider.
Bai Ye noticed the suppressed rage beneath the three-headed demon's gloomy expression, but he didn't pay it much mind.
This demon was far more formidable than the Dapeng from the Crouching Dragon Ranch. It might have been only a hair's breadth away from the Cataclysmic tier, but to Bai Ye, as long as it hadn't become a Demon King, it was no different from a small animal in the ranch!
"One, death."
Bai Ye spoke coldly, without the slightest hesitation. Even in his deep eyes, as he uttered the word 'death,' a chilling killing intent was revealed without any pretense.
The terrifying killing intent caused the three-headed demon to knit its brows, its body stiffening, becoming unresponsive.
His prominent status and considerable strength had, for a long time, prevented him from feeling such a threat of death. But now, he felt it emanating from Bai Ye.
The three-headed demon's heart began to beat faster, involuntarily yearning for the second choice. What was it?
"Two, submission, become my slave."
Two choices, the same as what the Dapeng had encountered before. But this time, Bai Ye's tone was exceptionally cold, his chilling killing intent utterly unconcealed.
A sweep of his spatial perception revealed the corpses of tens of thousands of Great Xia soldiers, permanently asleep on the ground...
Although most of these soldiers had perished when the passage's vibrations caused the ground to collapse, it did not dampen the rage that ignited in Bai Ye's heart.
As for the soldiers in the southern war zone, they were following orders from the highest authority and were in the process of an orderly evacuation.
"Commander, that guy from the east, he's here!"
At the Southern War Zone Command, officers packing documents and equipment suddenly saw a third figure appear in the sky. It was like a shot of confidence, and smiles spread across their faces.
"Such speed!" Commander Li Hanqing slammed his hand on the table, his expression filled with excitement.
"Good!"
"How are the soldiers evacuating?" Li Hanqing asked urgently. He knew that with Bai Ye's arrival, the disaster might be contained, but before that, an incredibly terrifying battle could occur.
This was also the reason they needed to evacuate rapidly.
"As per your orders, most soldiers have evacuated a hundred miles away with light gear," the adjutant replied quickly. "We are the last batch and can evacuate now."
"Withdraw!" Li Hanqing had no hesitation. The battlefield here no longer belonged to them.
The sky.
"You..." After enduring the anger and listening, the three-headed demon could no longer contain himself. He pointed at Bai Ye, too enraged to speak, even trembling!
"How dare you!!!"
Hou Ying, who had been watching, also frowned, a rare occurrence. He had long known Bai Ye's decisive and overbearing nature, but he hadn't expected it to reach this extent.
"Bai Ye, enslaving demons is a grave taboo," Hou Ying cautioned. "Especially for high-level demons..."
Bai Ye naturally understood all of this. However, with two already bound at home, whether it was a taboo or not was irrelevant.
Moreover, for these demons, other than a soul contract, he couldn't establish trustworthy faith in a short period.
Upon hearing Hou Ying also trying to persuade Bai Ye, the three-headed demon couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.
"Do you understand the great disaster your following words will bring upon you?"
"At that time..." The three-headed demon pointed at Hou Ying and said, "Even Lord Hou Ying will become your enemy!"
"Is that so?" Bai Ye tilted his head to glance at Hou Ying. Hou Ying smiled faintly, as gentle as ever, neither confirming nor denying the three-headed demon's words.
His gaze shifted back to the three-headed demon, Bai Ye's coldness and killing intent unabated.
"So, you choose death?"
The three-headed demon's expression was one of utter frustration. Bai Ye's power and his even more dominant attitude left him somewhat helpless.
"I, Nicugus.Kydra, am a member of the ancient Tri-Headed Demon Dragon clan," the three-headed demon dragon warned Bai Ye, staring at him. "We Tri-Headed Demon Dragons are royalty among demons. Dare to target me, and not only our Demon Alliance, but my own clan alone can ensure you have no burial place."
Bai Ye, far from being worried by his threat, actually smiled. Just as he was about to act, Hou Ying spoke from the side.
"Bai Ye, let them have other places. Even if all the passages fully open, with you and I joining forces, it won't be a problem to protect the Eastern Alliance."
Hou Ying's intention was subtle. He didn't advise Bai Ye against attacking this Tri-Headed Demon Dragon, as it would indeed bring considerable trouble.
At the same time, he hinted that these passages could not be held entirely, and Tethys' world invading Blue Star was only a matter of time...
However, the fact that he declared his willingness to guard Great Xia, the R country, and the Korean Alliance territories alongside Bai Ye indicated that he could stand on Bai Ye's side.
"Perhaps, with so many passages, I truly cannot hold them all..." Bai Ye responded to Hou Ying.
The Tri-Headed Demon Dragon, Nicugus.Kydra, felt a slight joy. Bai Ye seemed willing to compromise?
But his happiness was short-lived.
Bai Ye's gaze sharpened, and he said, "When the passages are fully opened, I will be the first to charge into the small worlds within the passages. I want to see just how strong your Tethys world's Demon Kings truly are!"
As he said this, he exuded unparalleled dominance. He wasn't acting on impulse but after careful consideration.
The current situation, the top-secret event of inter-world invasion, could no longer be hidden. Consequently, his magic live streams would inevitably be severely impacted, and his strength growth would stagnate.
Subduing or killing demons had become a feasible method for him to gain a large amount of prestige in a short time. As for the 'magic' live streams, he could only hope they wouldn't turn out too poorly...
Hou Ying frowned slightly, then suddenly smiled elegantly and no longer spoke, his figure flashing as he retreated to a distance.
Nicugus.Kydra, sensing a fatal aura, immediately transformed into his Tri-Headed Demon Dragon true form.
"Spatial - Imprisonment." Bai Ye raised his hand casually, sealing the Tri-Headed Demon Dragon's space.
The Tri-Headed Demon Dragon felt the space around it solidify, restricting its movements, and the sense of crisis intensified.
"Roar!!!"
Its three massive heads opened their sky-devouring jaws, spewing out three types of ferocious elemental energies.
Boom boom boom—
The locked space actually began to shatter slowly. Bai Ye's spatial imprisonment was broken by the target for the first time.
However, Bai Ye remained calm and raised his hand again, igniting a ball of scorching, terrifying flame.
"Sky-Devouring - Fire Dragon."
A colossal fire dragon surged out from the ball of flames, staring at the Tri-Headed Demon Dragon with immense excitement, emitting excited dragon roars like a beast that had been confined for a long time, rushing forward ferociously.
