Bai Ze noticed the gaze directed at him. He was in a real dilemma!

Others feared the Peacock Great Ming King, and so did he!

If the Peacock Great Ming King could kill Tanlang, he could kill him too, not to mention anyone present.

Bai Ze thought, before you made a dirty move, you didn't discuss with me, now that things went wrong, you come to me?

Damn it, where were you earlier?

But Tanlang is already dead, and no one else should die.

Otherwise, the alliance, which wasn't solid to begin with, would crumble at once.

"Great Ming King, the main culprit is dead, your anger should have subsided!"

"Please cease your hand, the four of them do not deserve death. The promise of the ten treasures still stands. Spare their lives, how about it?" Bai Ze said, gritting his teeth.

Bai Ze thought, if the ten treasures couldn't quench the Peacock Great Ming King's fiery wrath before, now adding Tanlang's life, it should be enough.

However, it was not enough.

"I said I want nothing but their five lives!" The voice of the Peacock Great Ming King echoed around, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Clearly, the Peacock Great Ming King had entered the Void again. The next time he emerged, he would surely kill another.

The Tiger Demon was drenched in sweat; he was rather sharp and suggested, "We four should stand back to back, support each other, and be prepared no matter from which direction he attacks."

As the Tiger Demon finished speaking, the Cyan Lion Demon, White Elephant Demon, and Ox Demon gathered around him. The four demons stood back-to-back, each defending a direction, fearing the sudden strike of the Peacock Great Ming King.

The Tiger Demon's idea was indeed a bit clever.

However, small cleverness ultimately can't serve great purposes.

The four demons vigilantly guarded their surroundings for a good dozen seconds with no sign of the Peacock Great Ming King's attack.

The White Elephant Demon seemed a bit tired and instinctively looked upward.

Above them, five-colored light was shining.

"Above, he's attacking from above!" The White Elephant Demon shouted.

The Peacock Great Ming King transformed the Five-Colored Divine Light into a heavy sword, thrusting it toward the center of the four.

As this sword descended, would you dodge or not?

If not, all four would suffer.

If you dodged, it would give the Peacock Great Ming King the chance to defeat them one by one.

Instinctively, as the heavy sword came straight at them, their subconscious urged them to scatter and flee.

"Useless scum, a bunch of trash!" The Peacock Great Ming King's voice was filled with contempt as he turned his blade and struck at the Ox Demon.

With one swing, the Ox Demon was cleaved in half.

In an instant, the Ox Demon was also dead.

At this moment, the ancient ones among the Ten Thousand Mountains were nearly breaking down.

How powerful was the Peacock Great Ming King? They were all at Tier Two Peak, the same level.

Yet, the Peacock Great Ming King cut them down like chopping vegetables, one by one.

In actuality, it wasn't just that the Peacock Great Ming King was too strong, nor that they were too weak.

Indeed, the Peacock Great Ming King was stronger, but the gap wasn't so vast that he could kill them so easily.

The current situation unfolded simply because they were cowardly.

From the beginning, the Peacock Great Ming King was ready to die, having no defenses, utilizing his full strength purely for offense.

Every strike was a full-force attack.

If, under such circumstances, any of them managed to hit the Peacock Great Ming King, perhaps he could be severely injured.

But what about them?

They were all running, avoiding, fighting with the mindset of "better you die than me."

Bai Ze really couldn't stand it anymore; two of the five demons were already dead, they had lost all face.

If the Peacock Great Ming King continued to kill, there would be no reason for the Ten Thousand Mountains to exist.

If they couldn't make the Peacock Great Ming King stop, they could only force their allies.

"Everyone, if you continue to slack off, you might as well just leave now, leave the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"There's no need for this alliance to exist!" Bai Ze said slowly.

As soon as Bai Ze spoke, everyone else fell silent.

Among them, everyone knew who truly exerted effort and who was slacking.

Seeing no one spoke, a diligent elder finally spoke up: "Brother Bai Ze, what do you think we should do? We all listen to you!"

Bai Ze looked around and asked seriously, "Will you all listen to me?"

"Yes, yes!"

The diligent elders quickly echoed, and reluctantly, the slackers had to agree too.

"Since you'll listen to me, then give your all to protect those three!"

"Anyone who dares to slack off, after this battle, will be expelled from the Ten Thousand Mountains!"

"If you agree, join me in the fight. If not, leave now to avoid hard feelings later!" Bai Ze's tone was unprecedentedly stern.

With words said to this extent, slacking was no longer an option.

Reluctantly, the ancient ones of the Ten Thousand Mountains, under Bai Ze's urging, truly confronted the Peacock Great Ming King.

Nobody dared slack off; it was made clear: slackers would be expelled from the Ten Thousand Mountains.

With a collective full-force effort from over a dozen Tier Two Peaks, the Peacock Great Ming King no longer found it easy to manage.

The battle, truly, only began now.

When Elder Bai and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder arrived, high above the Ten Thousand Mountains, a blood-soaked Five-Colored Peacock was fiercely battling dozens of different members of the Demon Race.

They had revealed their true forms, clearly fighting desperately, igniting the real fire of the battle.

Below the battlefield, wolf corpses, ox corpses, elephant corpses, monkey corpses, and python corpses could be seen...

Now, only the Cyan Lion Demon and Tiger Demon were after Kong Mengmeng.

The dead included not only the Wolf Demon, Ox Demon, and White Elephant Demon but also a Monkey Demon and a Python Demon.

The Peacock Great Ming King was severely wounded, and the remaining ancient ones of the Ten Thousand Mountains were all injured.

Seeing this, Elder Bai's expression changed.

Initially, Elder Bai intended to only kill those who targeted Kong Mengmeng. Then, to force the remaining ancient ones of the Ten Thousand Mountains to compensate.

Seeing things now, the previous plan was no longer feasible.

This battle left only two outcomes.

Either the Peacock Great Ming King died, or the Ten Thousand Mountains were utterly destroyed.

Outside the battlefield, seeing this, Elder Bai looked towards the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder.

The Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder understood, speaking firmly, "Since we are here, there's no leaving now!"

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Mountains has no significance, and it's time for its demise!"

Though the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder was a woman, she was decisively ruthless.

"Let's do it, I've long wanted to finish off this cowardly bunch!" The Golden-Winged Roc also shouted.

The Black Bear Spirit scratched his head: "Me too."

"You two stay here, keep far from the battlefield."

In the next moment, Elder Bai left a message for Lin Yuan, and then the four of them joined the battle.
