Chapter 717

Zwoosh!

……

The attacks never ceased.

And the Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, made no defense—only stared dumbfounded at the red-clad young lady.

Its pupils shrank, its face filled with utter disbelief.

Finally, after who knew how long.

The Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, was hurt.

It wanted to flee!

Yes, its first reaction upon regaining its senses was to flee.

Escape the battle, escape the Shadow Realm, even escape the boundaries of this lost land.

That red-clad young lady before its eyes…

Was a demon from beyond the heavens!

A higher race belonging to the Shadow Realm race.

Due to certain peculiarities, the demon race was jointly exterminated, and ultimately wiped out in the Eternal Ten Thousand Worlds.

Never in a million years…

Would it appear before its eyes again.

If this news did not spread, all Shadow Realms would fall into crisis.

Submit, or perish!

As the Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, fixed its gaze on the strange Barrier…

Its heart filled with despair…

This Spatial Barrier—it could not break it!

In other words, it could not escape—for now.

Then the question arose!

Could it survive until the Barrier vanished?

The answer was no.

"Stop… stop!!"

In desperation, the Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, finally surrendered—it did not wish to die, so it had no choice but to surrender.

"I… I have something to say!!"

Luo Chenyu laughed, did not order the red-clad young lady to stop, and said: "Say what you want—I'll keep hitting!"

The Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun: "…"

Damn, how do you even respond to that?

But time was short, so it spoke plainly: "I surrender! Please spare my life!"

For the proud Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, these words were utterly unbearable to utter.

But to live, what did honor matter?

Better to live miserably than die nobly.

In a sense, this was truth.

Hearing this, Luo Chenyu burst out laughing: "You think saying just that will make me spare you? Do you overestimate yourself—or do you look down on me?"

Such words.

In plain terms, he wanted the Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, to offer something of value.

Surrendering with empty words? No one would accept that.

Especially not a professional.

Who would ever give up the final kill against a boss?

Blood and broken heads—that's reality.

"Umm… I'll give you all the treasures of the entire Shadow Realm. I'll leave this lost land forever and never return."

"I know you're a professional—you want to kill me for the rewards."

"But I'm special—I don't fall under the rules of the Eternal Ten Thousand Worlds. Even if you kill me, you won't get anything…"

The Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, spoke rapidly—so fast Luo Chenyu nearly couldn't catch the words.

But he understood its meaning.

"Are you threatening me?"

He, was he a greedy man?

To risk the entire Blue Star's safety for a few drops of loot??

Such a thing—could not be done.

"No, I dare not… I'm just telling the truth…"

The Lord of the Shadow Realm, Peldun, muttered timidly, and finally assumed a defensive stance.

If it didn't defend…

It would truly die.

Though the demon was young and its blows weren't terribly painful…

But its demonic energy was eroding its primal essence—and most critically… its primal heart had already been severely wounded, and could not hold out much longer.

So…

As it defended, it cleanly tossed out several of its possessions.

"These are only some of the treasures—if you show mercy, I'll give you the rest!!"

Luo Chenyu: "..."

Good grief!!

You've got the right idea, haven't you!

Quietly put away the treasures thrown out by the Lord of the Shadow Realm·Peldun.

Silence...

Put on an air of deep thought.

Lord of the Shadow Realm·Peldun: "???"

Just be decisive...

I can't hold on much longer!!
