After countless practical training sessions, even Lu Rou had greatly improved her discipline. Upon hearing Wang Long's command, there was no hesitation; everyone immediately turned away from the main force of the Demon Clan and quickly rushed towards Nanhua City amidst the chaos.
The turmoil on the battlefield also boosted the morale of Nanhua City, causing the Demon Army to retreat step by step. They successfully escorted Lu Rou and the others back to Nanhua City.
"Coward! If you have guts, don't run away! Let's settle this life and death!" The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, seeing Wang Long following his subordinates towards Nanhua City, was furious and flew after them, waving his nine massive heads.
"Nine-Headed Demon Lord, don't be impulsive!" Seeing his army in disarray and no one with enough authority to stabilize the situation, Lingchuan Demon Lord had no intention of continuing the attack. He intercepted the Nine-Headed Demon Lord as he retreated.
"But that kid is just too despicable!" If it were a matter of strength, it would be one thing, but the Nine-Headed Demon Lord had repeatedly been thwarted by the opponent's tactics, unable to fight back with full force. Each time, the enemy took advantage and escaped, which was infuriating even for someone as composed as him.
"Don't worry; they won't gain anything from this. For now, let's stabilize our position!"
Originally, taking advantage of the temporary setback of the Demon Clan, Nanhua City had an opportunity for a major offensive. However, just a few days ago, all their top experts were at the forefront, and today they faced off directly against the main force of the Demon Clan, resulting in significant depletion of their strength. Now they could only retreat to the city and wait for the next battle.
"Lu Rou!"
"Elder sister!"
Finally seeing her younger sister whom she had been worried about, Lu Feng showed a hint of distress. Forgetting to scold her for disappearing without notice these past few days, she pulled her over to check for any injuries.
"You little brat! Do you know how worried I was about you? You could have at least found a way to send me a message if you were fine out there."
"Huh?" Lu Rou was stunned by her elder sister's words.
"My Lord of the City, did you just say you haven't received any news about our safety? Have you not seen Zhao Zheng and the others?"
"No, Zhao Zheng already took an elite team out with you all, right? I haven't seen them since then," Lu Feng replied, confused by their question.
Wang Long's smile completely vanished as he solemnly asked, "Lord of the City, are you certain about this? Or have they entered the city without receiving any audience?"
"Impossible," Lu Feng shook his head. "Everyone knows I have been concerned about my second sister's situation. If Zhao Zheng returned to Nanhua City and requested to see me, I would definitely receive news. Could it be that they were unable to return to Nanhua City after parting ways with you?"
"That is not entirely impossible, but to be safe, we should check with the commanders guarding the city gates in all directions to see what the actual situation is... Huh?"
At that moment, the Three Great Demon Lords of the Demon Clan, who had barely stabilized their subordinates, charged out again. However, the other troops remained largely still, seemingly standing back to support the three of them.
"Lu Feng, the City Lord!" The Lingchuan Demon Lord flew to the front, stopping just outside the attack range of the warriors at Nanhua City. "We have been fighting for many days now without a clear victor, only sacrificing so many lives of our soldiers in vain. What is the point of this? If this continues, even if you manage to repel us in the end, your casualties will be staggering. Now, do you dare to come out and decide our fates in a duel?"
"You speak beautifully, but if your Demon Clan truly cared about the lives of those ordinary demons under your command, why invade Nanhua in the first place? You might as well retreat! Do you think I would fall for such underhanded tricks to lure me into a trap?"
Everyone displayed wary expressions.
"Are they really unable to bear the losses of their subordinates? Instead of thinking about retaliating by breaking in, they seem to want to stop attacking altogether." Yu Sheng and Mount Yuezhen both felt a sense of disbelief.
"Things aren't that simple," Wang Long had been operating behind the Demon Clan for several days and had a deeper understanding of their situation.
The reserves of the Demon Clan's army had indeed been significantly reduced. Now, with their rear ranks thrown into chaos during direct combat, even if the Demon Clan unconditionally obeyed orders from High-Ranking Demons, the blow to their morale was still tremendous.
However, the problem returned to square one; to truly make them give up, they needed to make their Demon Clan experts suffer some setbacks in direct combat!
"His proposal might not be without merit," Wang Long whispered without moving his lips. "It's just that with his strength, we are not his match. If only..."
Before Wang Long could finish his thought, Lingchuan Demon Lord revealed a cold smile: "Of course, I know that with Lu Feng, the City Lord's courage, he might not dare to engage in battle. Even if you win, you would only claim that I bullied you with my strength and would never acknowledge it. So how about this: let you choose three of your strongest experts to fight me in a deathmatch. What do you say?"
"Three against...?"
Wang Long and Lu Feng exchanged glances, both aware that after Ling Chuan forcefully presented such conditions, there was no retreat left for them. Otherwise, it would be their side that would suffer a fatal blow. All the preparations made by Nanhua City were originally to counter the direct attack of the Brahma Demon King, and now, without even a glimpse of the Brahma Demon King, they had already lost the courage to fight. What was there to fight for?
"Lord of the City, although my bones are old, I am still capable of fighting. This time, let it be me!" Mount Yuezhen's blood surged. As the leader of the generals in Nanhua City, he had spent most of his life defending it and could not bear such humiliation.
"And we too, we are willing to share the fate with Nanhua City!"
"We must teach that bastard a lesson!"
"Gentlemen," at this moment, Elder Yu interrupted the anger of the generals, "this is not the time for us to act impulsively. Everyone has seen the strength of Lingchuan Demon Lord; it is undoubtedly at the level of an Ancient Demon. First and foremost, we must ensure victory before discussing anything else!"
Lu Feng nodded and said, "Elder Yu is right. Then let Elder Yu decide on the candidates for this battle."
Elder Yu did not decline and pondered for a moment: "First, since the opponent has sent their commander into battle, Lord of the City, as the head of Nanhua City and with sufficient strength, you must participate. The second candidate will be Elder Zhongxuan; with your strength and prestige, I believe no one will have any objections."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they all wanted to fight, they felt they could not compete with Lu Feng and Elder Zhongxuan in terms of status or strength. The key point was still who would be the final candidate.
"For the last person, I think..." Elder Yu glanced around at everyone and suddenly pointed: "I request Lord Wang Long to assist! Together we will defeat Lingchuan Demon Lord!"
