Chapter 337 – Negotiation! The Beast God's Compromise!

The surface of Lishui Lake.

Twelve powerful auras shot straight into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds into a violent frenzy.

Water mist connected heaven and earth.

The shimmering ripples refracted sunlight through the fog, forming brilliant rainbows one after another, accompanied by roaring thunder, creating a terrifying celestial phenomenon.

“How dare you, you brat?!”

The Beast God stared at the commotion in the distance, his expression abruptly changing as he cried out in shock.

Shock and fury intertwined!

After all his meticulous calculations, with victory seemingly within grasp, he never expected to be backstabbed at this critical moment? He was just inches away from eliminating Qin Yang!

“You… you… This deity has never encountered someone so shameless!”

The Beast God trembled with rage, repeatedly pointing at Qin Yang’s chest, his words stumbling incoherently.

The Blood Spirit Formation was the lifeline of all Star Warriors and the sole passage connecting to the upper realm.

If the formation were destroyed…

It would be equivalent to losing the only key!

How would he return to the upper realm then?

More importantly, if the Blood Spirit Formation were destroyed and the world’s Star Power severed, what use would his cultivation be?

The Beast God lowered his head to examine his body. Outwardly, his skin remained elastic, his heart still beat vigorously, but in reality, it was already riddled with holes—merely a hollow shell.

After centuries of seal-induced torment,

This body was truly battered and broken, his divine consciousness unstable, like an old man on his last legs, barely sustained by Star Power.

Only by returning to the upper realm could he truly heal and restore his injuries.

…….

Meanwhile.

On the Jianghai City Wall.

“What’s wrong with the Beast God?”

Elder Li raised his eyebrows, observing the Beast God’s furious stance, exchanging puzzled glances with the others. “Why did he suddenly fly into a rage for no reason?”

Hearing this, the others watched the enraged Beast God above, all expressing confusion. The howling winds drowned out everything, leaving only faint fragments of speech barely audible.

The words were indistinct.

But judging by the situation, Qin Yang seemed to have found a way to counterbalance, pinning the Beast God firmly in place!

Suddenly.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

A hearty laugh erupted.

Liu Wushuang, standing in a corner, burst into laughter. Having caught the entire dialogue, he understood the reason and couldn’t hold back his amusement.

“Brilliant! The young master’s strategy is truly brilliant!”

By targeting the Blood Spirit Formation, he had directly restrained the Beast God, leaving him unable to act or retreat, completely cornered!

“As expected of the young master!”

“A prodigious talent!”

On the city wall, his unrestrained laughter echoed in all directions.

Instantly drawing numerous gazes.

However, they stared blankly at Liu Wushuang, who was reveling in solitary delight, utterly baffled.

“Tsk, what’s with this Liu guy… Why did he suddenly start laughing?”

Beside him, Li Qinghe frowned slightly, unable to resist taking half a step back to avoid being misunderstood. “This young lady cannot associate with fools.”

“Take this Fairy with you!”

Xiaobai also retreated disdainfully, following Li Qinghe. She glanced back at the ecstatic Liu Wushuang and scoffed:

“Master said this Fairy shouldn’t play with fools…”

Countless eyes fixed on Liu Wushuang like piercing swords, silently watching his jubilant display.

“…”

Liu Wushuang, noticing the stares, froze mid-laugh, his smile gradually fading as he composed himself.

Somewhat awkward.The Blood Spirit Formation is of utmost importance, and many Star Warriors remain unaware of it to this day. He couldn’t risk leaking this information and causing unnecessary panic.

Thus, Qin Yang’s ingenious method of restraint had to remain his secret alone.

Happiness shared is happiness doubled.

How utterly frustrating!

“Ahem.”

Liu Wushuang cleared his throat lightly to mask his embarrassment, walking alone to the city wall where he pretended to observe the battle above as if nothing had happened.

He could only revel in silent ecstasy within his heart.

“Regardless, the situation is finally stabilized.”

As long as the Blood Spirit Formation remained intact, the Beast God would be constrained by caution, destined to be unable to take the Young Gang Leader’s life.

“This time, Jianghai is finally secured.”

………

High above, the standoff continued.

“Qin Yang, do you truly believe I dare not kill you!?”

The Beast God’s hair and beard flowed like ink, his pupils crimson as he glared furiously at Qin Yang before him, a vicious snarl escaping through clenched teeth.

“Come at me if you dare!”

Qin Yang crooked his finger provocatively, speaking with reckless audacity: “Just try laying a hand on me!”

As his words fell—

Boom! Boom!

Twelve pillars of energy shot toward the heavens, while tremendous roars echoed from the direction of Lishui Lake. The thunderous reverberations were audible even at Jianghai’s borders.

“Just try touching me!”

Qin Yang waved his hand casually, manipulating the distant situation and stirring the lake waters.

“……”

The Beast God’s face darkened terrifyingly, his fists clenching so tightly his nails dug into his flesh, grinding his teeth in hatred.

Yet…

There was truly nothing he could do.

The Exploding Heavens Gang’s methods were notoriously insane.

Back when Nangong Li was alive in the valley, he’d emphasized this hundreds of times.

These people were utterly chaotic!

They were all complete madmen!

If truly provoked, they could become even more frenzied than the Beast God Sect—even capable of dragging their own comrades into self-destruction!!

What demonic sect leaders or bloodthirsty cultists… they were mere amateurs compared to these maniacs!

“I cannot gamble on this.”

The Beast God’s throat moved as he swallowed hard, his gaze shifting toward Lishui Lake.

If the Blood Spirit Formation were truly destroyed…

The entire world would regress to primitive ages.

If everyone became ordinary people, what advantage would he retain?

The Beast God glanced at the people on the city wall—these garrison soldiers could easily tear him apart relying on sheer numbers!

Amid these thoughts…

Silence reigned in the skies.

Each second felt like a year, until after a long pause.

“You…”

The Beast God’s thoughts drifted before he finally raised his head to stare at Qin Yang, his voice hoarse as he asked, “What exactly do you want?”

As these words fell.

“Finally yielding, are we?”

Qin Yang’s sharp gaze softened slightly, his crossed arms relaxing as he spoke slowly, “I much preferred your earlier unyielding arrogance.”

“Hmph, say what you will.”

The Beast God’s expression remained extremely grim as he turned toward Lishui Lake, his tone dripping with murderous intent, “If you truly dare to damage the Blood Spirit Formation, I will make sure all of Jianghai City pays with their lives!”

Upon hearing this.

Qin Yang’s eyebrows lifted slightly, “Without Star Power, we’d all be ordinary people. What special methods could you possibly have? Unless…”

“Heh, how naive!”

The Beast God interrupted sharply, not letting him continue as he coldly stated, “Don’t think destroying the Blood Spirit Formation would immediately end everything… It would take at least several hours for the celestial Star Power to completely dissipate from the world.””Speaking of which,” the Beast God paused, raising the Star Power in his hand, “this period of time is more than enough for me to slaughter everyone in Jianghai City!”

“Is that so? Well, that’s easy enough… I can refrain from destroying the Blood Spirit Formation.” Qin Yang remained calm and composed upon hearing this, waving his hand dismissively as he pointed disdainfully toward the Great Li Mountains:

“You can get lost now!”
