"The Head of the Zhang Family has already backed down. To suddenly strike from behind like this is hardly the act of a hero, is it?" the Dragon Leader said coldly, gripping the opponent's wrist tightly.
Qu Chi tried to pull his hand away with all his strength three times in a row, but found himself completely immobile. Knowing that he was far weaker than his opponent, he dared not act recklessly and sneered, "This is a battlefield! It's not a regular competition! What rules are you talking about? How ridiculous!"
The Dragon Leader replied sternly, "Quibbling will not help! Go call your clan leader to meet me personally!"
With that, he suddenly released his grip and, with a forceful twist of his wrist, sent Qu Chi flying like an arrow.
Bang!
Qu Chi crashed into more than ten soldiers from the Serpent Clan before finally stopping. Just as he was about to angrily shout, he felt a surge of blood and energy within him, leaving him sore all over and unable to muster any strength.
He was taken aback, thinking that such power from a mere push could only belong to someone who had broken through the Ninth Dragon Vein to reach the Dragon Bone Realm. After a thousand years, someone could still cultivate to such a level?
With that thought, despair washed over him, and he no longer dared to entertain any notions of bravado. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he stood up and told the soldiers beside him, "Go summon the clan leader!"
"No need! I'm right here!" Suddenly, the soldiers of the Serpent Demon Clan parted to create a path, standing respectfully on either side with their heads bowed.
What astonished everyone in Long City was that the so-called leader of the Serpent Demon Clan had a woman's voice!
Wang Long noticed Jiang Xue shiver slightly beside him and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xuelu smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect this formidable Serpent Clan Leader to be a woman. That's truly... impressive."
Wang Long chuckled as well. "Indeed. If she weren't the one leading the invasion of Long City, I might actually admire her."
The Serpent Clan Leader gracefully stepped forward toward the Dragon Leader.
She wore a black veil that obscured her features, but her figure was elegant and her steps were light and graceful. Moreover, her voice just now was crisp and enchanting, evoking an involuntary sense of admiration in those who heard it.
"Oh? You are the Leader of the Serpent Demon Clan?" The Dragon Head was somewhat surprised; there was no information about this leader in the intelligence gathered by Dragon Hidden.
"That's right. What's wrong? Does the esteemed Dragon Head look down on women in this world?" The Serpent Clan Leader asked lightly in a seductive voice, which, despite its reproachful tone, stirred one's heart.
The Dragon Head smiled, "That's not it. How could I look down on someone who dares to invade my Dragon City? However, I don't understand why the Serpent Demon Clan has remained hidden for so many years just for this battle today. You should be well aware of the strength comparison between my Dragon City and your Serpent Clan. Even if you manage to capture Dragon City, it will surely come at a great cost; centuries of accumulation could be destroyed in an instant!"
"By that time, when you lead your remaining troops into Dragon City, you will likely face other human forces that are eyeing you covetously, as well as other hidden demon clans that have been lurking for thousands of years. This is fundamentally a losing proposition; the leader cannot be foolish enough to act so recklessly!"
Upon hearing this, the Serpent Clan Leader chuckled softly, "Thank you for considering our situation so thoroughly, Dragon Head. You are correct; although everyone in the world covets Dragon City, everyone knows that the first to attack will only end up being a pawn for others. However, some things cannot simply be measured by such cold logic."
The Dragon Head furrowed his brow and asked curiously, "Oh? What could make the leader abandon reason and commit such foolish acts?"
The leader's almond-shaped eyes narrowed suddenly, a cold glint flashing within them as she said coldly, "Hatred—an irreconcilable hatred."
The Dragon Head was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter again. "Hatred? Your Serpent Demon Clan has been hidden for nearly a thousand years and has never interacted with the world; how can you speak of hatred? If you are referring to the open and covert struggles between humans and the Serpent Clan in ancient times, let’s not forget that it has been a millennium since then. Moreover, there were various misunderstandings involved. If it were just for that reason, it would indeed be too foolish."
He had already learned from Dragon Hidden about the secrets within the forbidden grounds of the Serpent Demon Clan and knew about the conflicts between the First Generation Dragon Head and the Serpent Clan Ancestor. However, even if he spoke of this on the battlefield now, no one from the Serpent Demon Clan would believe him.
The Serpent Clan Leader sneered coldly, "If it were so easy to forget, how could we still call it hatred? Besides, our entanglements go beyond just that!"
Now the Dragon Head was genuinely puzzled and asked, "Oh? What other entanglements are there? I truly do not know..."
"Whether you know or not is irrelevant; in any case, things have reached this point and cannot end well! Since you have already taken action yourself, let us settle this here!"
The Dragon Head looked at her with interest and said, "You want to fight me?"
A cold glint flashed in the Serpent Clan Leader's eyes as she sneered, "What? Do you think I am unworthy? Although you are renowned as an unparalleled master in the world, do you think I am unaware of your current situation? After experiencing that unprecedented battle with Dragon Duel over a decade ago and yesterday's confrontation with that mysterious expert at Back Mountain Dragon Tomb, you are nothing more than a spent force now!"
The Serpent Clan Leader's expression darkened as he coldly said, "Indeed, someone has been secretly communicating with you. Very well!"
The Serpent Clan Leader chuckled lightly and replied, "If you can send someone to infiltrate my Serpent Clan Forbidden Area, why can't I have spies placed within your Dragon City? Enough talk; let us settle this with a battle!"
Without looking back, she continued, "Left Envoy Qu, if I die in this battle, you will become the new leader of the Serpent Demon Clan! I have only one request of you: continue this war! Otherwise, anyone will have the power to overthrow you!"
Qu Chi felt a shiver run through him, a mix of joy and unease, but he maintained his composure and quickly replied, "Understood!"
The Dragon Leader smiled and shook his head. "It seems the clan leader holds a great grudge against my Dragon City! Very well, let me see what the legendary Serpent Demon Clan, which has existed for thousands of years, is truly capable of!"
In this simple confrontation between the two, the surrounding soldiers were all stirred by an overwhelming aura and retreated in haste, creating a spacious area outside the gates of Dragon City.
Wang Long felt some concern; he understood better than anyone the Dragon Leader's physical condition was not as robust as it appeared. The Serpent Clan Leader was no ordinary foe, especially since the Dragon Leader had fought that mysterious person just yesterday and likely had not fully recovered...
Suddenly, Jiang Xue stepped forward and gently grasped Wang Long's hand. He turned to look at her; although her face was pale and her palm trembled slightly, he felt somewhat reassured.
The Serpent Clan Leader raised her hand high, suddenly grasping a Serpent Staff that materialized from thin air. With a swift motion, she pointed it fiercely at the Dragon Leader.
