Chapter 1598: Both Flee

The Demon God said, "Hehehe, Li Yue, I see you are nothing special after all? Just obediently accept your death." Although he said this on the surface, his inner thoughts were quite different.

Please, do not come over.

After hearing the other's words, Li Yue also curled the corners of his mouth slightly, sneering coldly: "If you have the guts, come over and see if I don't knock you down." Yet he was also thinking: If you come over, I will prepare to run.

Hearing these words, the corner of the Demon God's mouth twitched.

This bastard!

However, he did not speak, merely watching Li Yue silently.

And Li Yue, seeing that the Demon God made no move, also looked coldly at the other.

At this moment, both sides were poised and ready, yet neither attacked. They simply stared blankly at each other.

About ten or so seconds passed like this, Li Yue watching the other with furrowed brows.

Why hasn't this guy attacked yet? Could it be he has sensed my thoughts? That shouldn't be the case?

Following this, Li Yue smiled and said: What? Could it be you are afraid? You dare not come up and fight me to the death?

Hearing Li Yue's words, the Demon God's mouth curled slightly into a mocking arc, saying: I am afraid? How could I possibly be afraid? How could I possibly be afraid of you? A trash like you, I do not even care about."

The Demon God cursed a couple of times, yet still had no intention of rushing up to fight Li Yue to the death.

He knew that rushing up at this moment would definitely be asking for abuse, so he decided to wait for a suitable opportunity to escape.

Seeing that the other still made no move, Li Yue began to feel a bit panicked, thinking: "Why hasn't this guy attacked yet? Could it be he wants to wait for me to show a flaw?" Damn it, being suppressed like this, my injuries simply cannot hold out much longer; I must find a way to end this fight as soon as possible.

Thinking this, Li Yue bitterly complained in his heart, but on his face he pretended to be calm, acting unhurried, and said to the Demon God: Hmph! Since you are unwilling to make a move, then do not blame me for striking.

If you have the guts, just come! The Demon God also responded arrogantly.

Yet he deeply swallowed a mouthful of saliva: Please, do not come.

Good! Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish!

Li Yue sneered coldly, then took the sword in his hand and stabbed it into the dirt.

Seeing this, the Demon God also inserted his weapon into the dirt.

Following this, the two simultaneously swung and slashed towards each other.

Due to the weapons being inserted into the dirt, with this strike of his, clumps of mud on the ground were immediately flipped up, splashing in all directions; the two sides collided, producing countless dust clouds, instantly obscuring both figures.

At this moment, Li Yue and the Demon God involuntarily made the same decision.

"Run!" They both thought silently in their hearts, and the two quickly ran in opposite directions.

Both were thinking: Preserving one's life is the priority now; fighting later is not too late.

The thoughts of the two were similar.

So, they both exerted all their strength to escape, unaware that the other had no intention of chasing at all, but instead directly fled towards the distant woods.

At this moment, Li Yue instantly arrived within a certain tunnel in the Dark City that had been dug long ago.

After panting several times, Li Yue looked at the wound on his chest, from which blood continuously flowed; his face was somewhat pale. His gaze looked outward; not seeing the Demon God at that moment, he thought silently: So close, so close!

Fortunately, he reacted in time just now; otherwise, he would have died in the Demon God's hands.

Thinking back now, he was still filled with fear.

Similarly, the Demon God also landed at the Demon Army camp; the moment he returned to the camp, his gaze looked around, yet he did not see Li Yue, and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Good thing that damn guy did not chase; otherwise, I would have been truly finished." The Demon God muttered to himself.

At this time, the Demon soldiers guarding the camp also discovered the Demon God's presence and gathered around one by one, asking the Demon God what exactly had happened.

My Lord Demon God, what happened just now? Your body... a Demon soldier asked with concern.

The Demon God waved his hand, saying: Nothing major, just injured by that damn guy Li Yue." Speaking thus, the Demon God slightly narrowed his eyes, looking into the distance and asking, "By the way, how is the battle situation now?"

Hearing these words, the Demon soldier sighed slightly: "Not good; we have already lost several Generals." Hearing this, the Demon God's face instantly turned black.

But he did not say much, merely continuing to ask: "Can we continue fighting?"

"I'm afraid it is very difficult; so many Generals have died, and the soldiers' morale has suffered a great blow." The Demon soldier replied.

Hearing this, the Demon God immediately fell into silence.

After quite some time, he silently said: "Order them to retreat."

Yes, My Lord Demon God! Hearing this, the Demon soldier respectfully replied.
