Realm of the Night God

The intense battle in the sky was still ongoing, with both parties already injured. However, Zhang Li's injuries were more severe, and his insufficient strength, combined with his heavy injuries, made it increasingly difficult for him to fend off his opponent's attacks.

The Zhang family members below were extremely anxious, knowing that if Zhang Li were to lose, the consequences would be disastrous. They didn't want to see Zhang Li lose, nor did they dare to see him lose.

At this moment, they had completely forgotten how they had treated Zhang Li in the past. They didn't acknowledge Zhang Li as one of their own, and every time they looked at him, it was with a scowl, as if they were looking at their own enemy.

However, now they regarded Zhang Li as their only lifeline, fearing that he might make any mistakes.

On the other hand, the people who had come to seek revenge were relatively relaxed, as they were confident of winning based on the current situation.

These people had no relationship with Xu Meijing, and even less so with Yang Haoran. When they received the news, they rushed to the battle area not to support Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, but to avenge their dead family members or friends.

Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing's lives or deaths were of no concern to them, and they didn't have the heart to care. After all, in such a situation, they wouldn't waste their time on two strangers.

It was precisely because of this that they didn't search for Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing in the battle area, unlike Ma Ling and Yin Division, who had expanded their search radius.

Their initial plan was to take revenge on the Zhang family through violent means, eliminating everyone and leaving no survivors.

Initially, they didn't agree to the duel, but Xu Meijing was too powerful, and they were no match for him. In the end, they had to accept Xu Meijing's proposal.

At first, they were worried that their representative might lose to Zhang Li, the young boy.

However, based on the current situation, they realized that their worries were unnecessary, as the scales of victory were already tipping in their favor. It would only take a little more time before Zhang Li would be defeated.

As soon as Zhang Li lost, they believed that Xu Meijing wouldn't say anything more, and they would be able to eliminate the Zhang family and vent their anger, which would be a natural consequence.

Just as the battle was nearing its end, Zhang Li suddenly self-destructed his Magic Sword.

The Magic Sword he was currently using was his most powerful mystical artifact, which he usually hesitated to use, fearing it might be damaged. However, he was willing to sacrifice it to inflict damage on his opponent and gain some time for himself.

The cost of using this method to gain time was enormous, but under the current circumstances, he couldn't afford to care about that. He had to win this duel, as he knew he couldn't afford to lose. If he lost, the remaining members of the Zhang family would all die.

Therefore, no matter the cost, he had to win this duel, even if it meant sacrificing his treasured mystical artifact.

The power released when the Magic Sword self-destructed was immense, and a middle-aged man was caught off guard, suffering some injuries and being forced back.

Zhang Li took advantage of this opportunity to spit out a mouthful of blood, then used his finger as a brush and the air as paper to quickly draw a Blood Essence Talisman.

As soon as the last stroke of the Blood Essence Talisman was completed, a powerful energy fluctuation erupted from it, even attracting Yang Haoran from below.

Before he could clearly see what kind of talisman it was, Zhang Li had already controlled the talisman to attack his opponent, successfully hitting his body.

Boom!!

A loud explosion, and the middle-aged man was sent flying by a violent force, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood. He didn't even have time to react before his body was struck again by another force.

Boom!!!

This force directly knocked him to the ground, slamming him into the earth with incredible impact, creating a large crater.

Lying in the deep crater, the middle-aged man spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. His face was pale, and his entire body suddenly became limp. He struggled to get up a few times, but to no avail.

It was clear that he had already lost his combat ability.

The originally boisterous Zhang family suddenly fell silent, and the Zhang family members who had reacted were overjoyed, their faces bursting with excitement. From the current situation, it was clear that the middle-aged man had lost his combat ability, which meant that the winner was naturally Zhang Li.

The avengers, on the other hand, had the opposite reaction. Without exception, their faces turned ugly.

Some of them even looked disbelieving, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"He's already lost his combat ability and can't continue fighting, so I've won this bet. According to the betting agreement, you can't bother us Zhang family anymore."

Zhang Li slowly descended from mid-air, his body covered in fresh blood, his breathing weak, and his pale face not much better than the middle-aged man in the crater. The only difference was that he could still stand up and speak, whereas the middle-aged man in the crater couldn't even get up or speak.

From the current situation, it was clear that Zhang Li had won this bet.

The Zhang family members were all excited, and as long as they didn't have to deal with these avengers, they could live a peaceful life from now on, without having to worry about anything.

"Who says we lost this bet? He's not dead yet, is he? This is a life-or-death bet, and only when one side dies can the other side be considered the winner. Until he's dead, we haven't lost." This trаnslаtiоn is pоwеrеd by thе rеаdеrs аt М|V|LЕ9МРYR.

A female avenger suddenly spoke up at this moment, a woman in her thirties with a casual demeanor and speech.

Her words not only made the Zhang family members' faces turn ugly but also changed the expressions of their allies.

Zhang Li's current physical condition was terrible, but compared to the middle-aged man in the crater, he was slightly better. If he wanted to kill the middle-aged man, he only needed to deliver one more blow, which would be enough to destroy the middle-aged man's physical body.

He didn't do so, purely because he didn't want to kill the middle-aged man. He felt that since the winner had already been determined, there was no need to deliver the final blow.

The woman's words were meant to pressure him into killing the middle-aged man.

"If you want to cheat, just say so. Don't use someone's life as a shield."

Zhang Li looked at the woman, his voice cold due to his severe injuries, which made it difficult for him to speak.

"Hmph You're only now realizing that using someone's life as a shield is shameful? Did you think about this when you were plotting against my family?"

The woman's previous words hadn't resonated with the other members of their camp, but her current words did.

"You plotted against our loved ones, but did you think about this? That was just a small part of the Zhang family, not the entire family. The ones who participated have already been killed by you, and the living ones don't know anything about it. You're the victims, but they're also victims!"

Zhang Li took a deep breath, trying to make his speech more coherent, but the effect wasn't very obvious. He still spoke with difficulty.

Moreover, his words didn't have much of an impact, and the avengers didn't buy it.

"Do you know if this has anything to do with them? Like hell you do As it stands, they're all trying to distance themselves from this matter. Moreover, who knows if Zhang Changchun and his son have escaped with their lives or not? Maybe they're hiding in some corner right now. If we don't destroy the Zhang family today, do we have to wait until they recover and come after us again?"

The speaker was no longer the previous woman but a white-haired old man. His face was solemn, his tone filled with distrust and coldness, and even a hint of worry.

As his words fell, others were about to speak up, but a cold voice cut them off.

"I already said it earlier: if the Zhang family wins, we'll let them go. If they lose, we'll destroy them. Did you all agree to this? Are you preparing to go back on your word now?"
