Chapter 870: Chapter 281: "Today is the Day to Exterminate the Devil Clan!"_3

From his bosom, Ba Dan pulled out a bag of fine wine and took a hearty drink before tossing the empty wine bag aside. He then looked toward the Demon Clan Leader lying on the ground, eyes filled with fear, and slowly raised the Red Giant Hammer in his hand, smiling broadly.

"We’ve fought for so many years, it’s time for an end. Any last words?"

"You might as well express your reluctance, like kneeling before me begging for your life; it would make me feel even better."

"Just don’t pretend to welcome death to displease me. I’ve known you for so many years; I know your character too well. You are definitely not that kind of person."

"Quick, like I knelt before you begging back then, start by begging in front of me. You might just earn an opportunity to live."

"Hehe..."

The powerlessly lying Demon Clan Leader, who had no strength to rise, coughed up a clump of blood before looking at Ba Dan sitting beside him with a distant gaze: "At our level, we are no longer so fearful of death as who can live forever. Everyone must die."

"But there’s something I need to tell you."

"Back when you were kneeling before me, I truly intended to give you that thread of Yin Emperor’s luck, because... I preferred to see you, my longtime enemy, live in humiliation due to my mercy rather than watch you die."

"Only..."

"The Barbarian Tribe Leader found me and proposed a condition that the Demon Clan could not refuse, preventing me from giving you the thread of Yin Emperor’s luck."

"Otherwise, I would have already sworn by the Demon Clan’s holy ’Immortal Water Well’, and I wouldn’t have easily broken my promise."

"As for you,"

The Demon Clan Leader suddenly laughed, a touch of contempt flashing in his eyes as he looked at Ba Dan: "I used to fear you. In my heart, you were always an almost invincible presence. As the Demon Clan Leader, I always had to use every trick in the book just to match you in battle, while you were merely a prominent soldier among the Barbarian Tribe."

"But now... ever since you knelt before me begging, I suddenly stopped being afraid."

"It turns out, you are not completely invincible either."

"As for me—"

"No one in this world can judge me, including you, you can’t either!"

After saying this,

The Demon Clan Leader’s eyes flashed fiercely, and with the last bit of strength in his body, he raised his lion’s paw and furiously smashed it toward his own head, a final act of dignity.

However...

The next moment—

Ba Dan stepped on the lion’s paw firmly with his foot and slowly stood up, raising the Red Giant Hammer in his hand: "You are wrong, I was born to judge you, and there’s no need for you to provoke understanding, as today I didn’t plan to let the old chief leave here alive."

"Boom!!!"

Along with a loud crash, the once glorious Demon Clan Leader was completely turned into a mist of blood and exploded in the center of the battlefield.

Soon after, a Heavenly Dao Imperial Decree followed.

-

"Heavenly Dao Imperial Decree: The Heavenly Dao responds, Demon Clan Leader, Heavenly Dao Evil Man, Immortal King, peerless Heavenly Pride Li Ming, should be eternally renowned, yet heaven envies the talented. At the hour of Xu, he completely perished, his soul obliterated, returning to the celestial realm."

The passing of such a Heavenly Pride grieves all beings; a grand burial by heaven and earth.

-

A Heavenly Dao Imperial Decree specifically for the Demon Clan Leader was followed by the sound of sorrowful celestial music at the ends of the earth, and white snowflakes began to fall throughout the heavens and the earth.

Heaven and earth were buried together.

This scene also told everyone that the Demon Clan Leader had died, utterly died, dead beyond resurrection.

The battlefield fell into a brief pause.

Those Great Demons who had just been fighting desperately to reach the Demon Clan Leader to aid him suddenly lost all will to fight, howled, and led their Demon Soldiers swiftly back toward the center of the Demon Clan Forest.

The Clan Leader was dead, there was no point in continuing the fight.

The Demon Clan had lost, and what needed to be done now was to preserve as much of their living forces as possible, and then, after surviving this crisis, select a new Demon Clan Leader.

...

Ba Dan stood at the center of the blood mist, gazing distantly at the horizon, while his Red Giant Hammer greedily absorbed the blood mist in the air.

The ending was somewhat different from what he expected.

The plot seemed to have gone off track.

He reconsidered his original intention for bringing Zhao Yishi up here, which was to use death to wash away his own humiliation; he had thought that after that incident, his friends would be ashamed of him and feel disgraced by hearing his name.

Only...

It seemed his friends did not feel disgraced by it, nor did they look down on him because of it.

He had initially just wanted to come here to die and cleanse his humiliation while incidentally stirring up Zhao Yishi’s combative spirit, but somehow it had developed into him personally killing his archenemy, and from the looks of it, he was even preparing to take the position of Barbarian Tribe Leader.

He looked at the group of people besieging the Barbarian Tribe Leader not far away and was momentarily lost in thought.

And just then—

The leading Barbarian slave, who had appeared beside Ba Dan without notice, pulled out a large cloak from his bosom and draped it over Ba Dan, saying respectfully, "King Ba Dan, the weather is getting colder, please keep warm."

"This..."

Ba Dan looked down at the cloak on his body, the cloak that had historically symbolized the leader of the Barbarian Tribe. How had this now ended up on him... Was this really okay?

"Excellent, excellent!"

Meanwhile, the still fiercely fighting Barbarian Tribe Leader glanced at Ba Dan, now wearing the cloak, and a profound rage surged within him: "Ba Dan, I knew you would betray me. Have you admitted it now?!"
