Song Que had no idea where Xue Jinglun got the confidence to demand his surrender.
*Do you think you're Hu Qiu Bai, the Tiger Clan's Holy Son, a true Heavenly Pride?*
Even someone like him wouldn't have dared to surrender, let alone you, Xue Jinglun!
"You're clueless! You're practically asking for death!"
Xue Jinglun's face turned icy, and a killing aura emanated from his body.
He had kindly offered Song Que a chance to surrender and avoid physical pain, but the guy had the audacity to refuse and respond with sarcasm. Truly asking for death.
"I'm just telling the truth. Is there something wrong with that?"
Song Que shrugged helplessly.
*If it's not your fault, then whose fault is it?*
Xue Jinglun seethed inwardly. "Enough nonsense! Today, I'll silence you!"
With a roar, he spread his arms wide. A lifelike dragon materialized behind him, radiating the pressure of a true dragon.
Song Que frowned slightly, then drew his longsword. Sword light flickered around him as a torrent of Sword Intent surged forth, each strand carrying a murderous intent that seemed capable of cleaving the very heavens.
*Boom!*
The two divine abilities collided, unleashing a terrifying explosion that reverberated through the surroundings. Even the formation surrounding the arena trembled violently, as if on the verge of shattering.
However, the formation's light suddenly flared, Dao Patterns emerging across its surface. In an instant, the entire arena stabilized.
The battle between the two fighters was on the verge of erupting, and they clashed with ferocious intensity. With their strengths evenly matched, neither could gain the upper hand, locked in a desperate struggle.
"Old Man Song, your clan's Heavenly Pride is quite capable," the Snow Clan expert declared with arrogant pride. "To hold our Holy Son to a stalemate is impressive. A promising talent, but ultimately destined to fall."
He spoke as if the outcome were already determined, as if he held the key to victory.
The Song Clan expert was left speechless.
This Snow Clan expert, like Xue Jinglun, seemed to have no concept of courtesy. Why did they always act so superior in the Song Clan's presence?
"May I ask what gives you such confidence that Xue Jinglun is guaranteed to win?" the Song Clan expert retorted coldly.
*Damn it, those Ancient Demon Races don't dare say a word to you because you're clinging to the Dragon Clan's coattails. The Dragon Clan wields immense authority among the Demon Race, but the Song Clan doesn't play that game.
*Dream on if you think you can show off in front of the Song Clan.*
The Snow Clan powerhouse sneered, "Of course our Holy Son is superior. There's no need for you to feel ashamed. Losing to our Holy Son is perfectly normal."
"No, no, no, please don't say that! *That* would be the real disgrace!" the Song Clan powerhouse hurried to say. "Our Song Clan's Heavenly Pride can lose to anyone, just not to your Snow Clan Holy Son."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. Can't you beasts even understand plain speech?" the Song Clan powerhouse retorted bluntly. "Everyone knows your Snow Clan Holy Son is the weakest among the Demon Race's Heavenly Pride, the one most likely to lose. How humiliating would it be to lose to him?"
*Why can't these Snow Clan people understand what I'm saying? I've made it perfectly clear.*
Ah, right, the Demon Race isn't human in the strictest sense!
That cleared everything up.
"Haha, Old Ghost Song always speaks his mind, never minces words."
"What if we make this old man cry? We'll have to go begging to his Dragon Father again. You'll all have to face his wrath then." True Person Ziyang said with a sarcastic tone.
"What are we afraid of? Bring it on! Who's afraid of who?"
"Those Ancient Demon Races might fear his Dragon Father, but we Song Clan members aren't." The Song Clan expert declared indifferently.
Faced with the Human Clan experts' taunts and sarcasm, the Snow Clan expert's expression grew increasingly grim.
The Ancient Royal Clan members, however, remained silent, pretending not to notice.
They harbored deep resentment toward the Snow Clan. Backed by the Dragon Clan, the Snow Clan had been using their influence to bully other demon races, treating them with contempt.
Without the Dragon Clan's protection, many major demon factions would have long since moved against the Snow Clan. Especially the Ancient Royal Clans, who had likely been restraining themselves for years.
In their hearts, the Snow Clan was even more detestable than the humans.
A deafening roar erupted!
After a fierce battle, the fight finally came to an end.
The outcome was unexpected. No one could have predicted that both Song Que and Xue Jinglun would fall to the ground simultaneously, both collapsing unconscious.
Thus, this round ended in a draw.
For the Human Clan, this result was perfectly acceptable. As long as they didn't lose, it was fine.
The Demon Race, however, looked as if they had eaten shit, their faces turning ashen.
"I told you he was a useless piece of shit!"
"He couldn't even defeat this human Heavenly Pride, and he's the Holy Son of the Snow Clan? What a disgrace to the entire Demon Race!"
Hu Qiu Bai, the Tiger Clan Holy Son, roared in fury.
In their eyes, Gao Xiaoliang of the Heavencloud Sect and Song Que of the Song Clan were supposed to be easy points. Winning these two matches should have been effortless.
Yet, the Snow Clan Holy Son and Song Que had fought to a draw, an outcome they found utterly unacceptable.
Hu Qiu Bai wanted to curse the Snow Clan Holy Son's ancestors for eighteen generations. How could someone so useless still be so arrogant?
"The Snow Clan is truly pathetic! The old ones are useless, and the young ones are no better!"
The Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden spat venomously, not sparing the Snow Clan in her tirade.
"Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden, that's going too far!"
A Snow Clan expert stepped forward, his voice cold.
"Heh, *too far*? Where exactly did I cross the line?"
"Shut your stinking mouth, old man! You have no right to speak here!"
"If you say another word, I'll kill you, you vermin!"
Before the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden could respond, a powerful warrior from the Vermilion Bird Clan stepped forward and declared coldly, showing no respect for the Snow Clan warrior.
"You!"
The Snow Clan warrior was furious, but faced with the Vermilion Bird Clan woman, he swallowed his harsh words.
"Called you a waste and you still don't like it? Can't even dare to retort—what else would you be?" the Vermilion Bird Clan warrior continued, seemingly not satisfied with his insult.
The Human Clan members exchanged puzzled glances. Why was the Demon Race falling into infighting, and why didn't the Snow Clan warrior dare to retort?
"Haha, of course he wouldn't dare! The previous generation's Human Clan Heavenly Pride clashed with the Demon Race's Heavenly Pride!" True Person Ziyang sneered. "This old Snow Clan fool, just like their Holy Son, was all show and no substance. His incompetence cost the Demon Race a crucial match, leading to their total defeat."
"If not for the Dragon Clan's backing, this old fool would have been dead long ago!"
"Come to think of it, this Snow Clan old man was actually their previous generation's Holy Son."
"Seems the rot runs deep—a lineage of failures producing more failures!" True Person Ziyang mocked unsparingly.
