Nie Bao simultaneously lunged fiercely toward Nie Hu at this moment, his fierce gaze seemingly intent on battling Nie Hu to the death!
Nie Hu wore a cruel smile on his face and sneered, "Kid, I was hunting while you were still not born into this world."
As he spoke, the overwhelming sense of killing intent on Nie Hu exploded suddenly. He swung his immense front paw and slammed it toward Nie Bao with great force. If this strike hit, there wouldn't be a single intact bone left in Nie Bao's body!
This was truly a force of absolute annihilation!
Nie Hu had already developed a genuine desire to kill Nie Bao. Moreover, he didn't wish to wait for those rune creatures to end Nie Bao's life; he only hoped that those rune creatures could block off Nie Bao's escape route.
The life of the Beast Clan must be taken personally by the Beast Clan.
This is a matter of dignity and pride for the Beast Clan.
Although they are already working with the rune creatures, deep inside, Nie Hu remains full of hostility and disgust toward them. The cooperation is merely a matter of helplessness, a situation forced by circumstances.
Boom!
This strike was astonishing!
The entire void was filled with this icy, unparalleled killing intent.
Even the rune creatures rushing from afar could clearly sense the annoyance and hostility toward them contained within that killing intent.
All those rune creatures halted in their tracks.
Just like Nie Hu, they were also unwilling to proceed and join the commotion. Not only did it cause annoyance, but it also felt awkward within their own hearts.
In fact, these rune creatures were holding their noses while cooperating with the Beast Clan.
It's all due to circumstances, and deep down, they are definitely unwilling.
The rune creatures began dispersing into the surrounding void, preparing to thoroughly seal off the space here. They're quite adept at this. In fact, in the past, when the divine realm hadn't collapsed, they used this method to besiege and kill many Beast Clan deities.
Now, they are merely reenacting those formations from before, just practicing.
However, this time, they are not as joyous. If they could also kill Nie Hu, that would be delightful.
But unfortunately, they can't.
Nie Bao and Nie Hu collided directly, their bodies both retreating backward.
Nie Bao spit out blood profusely; he was injured instantly. In terms of combat power, he was certainly no match for Nie Hu, but escaping directly in such a moment would be fatal!
When two fierce beasts meet, the first one to turn and flee is definitely the most dangerous!
For the Beast Clan, never turn your back to your opponent.
So even if Nie Bao wanted to escape, he couldn't flee directly; he had to choose a particularly suitable opportunity.
Nie Hu understood this point even more, so he wouldn't give Nie Bao that opportunity.
The two were locked in a life-and-death struggle, and by now, those rune creatures had long since sealed off the space in all directions.
Now, Nie Hu's heart was filled with confidence. He knew that no matter what, Nie Bao wouldn't be able to escape.
He would definitely die here today.
With this confidence, Nie Hu slowed his attack pace and said to Nie Bao in a solemn voice, "Nie Bao, now I give you an opportunity to join us. Don't hesitate anymore. Don't follow the ruler's path to the end. Ultimately, you will surely die! Even if you truly want to join the lower realm, you shouldn't choose this time. You're really foolish; this is entirely the most sensitive moment. From the lower realm's side, maybe they'll try to manipulate you, but from this divine realm's side, they'll certainly view you as enemies! Tell me, isn't that right? Choosing to join the lower realm at this time is a clear betrayal to all the Divine Clan. Do you think the Divine Clan will let you go? Will they?"
Nie Hu reduced his attack frequency to the lowest and advised, "Don't tell me you're joining the lower realm at this time to express your sincerity. That would make me feel utterly embarrassed. You are all noble deities, yet you need to show your sincerity to a group of lowly beings from the lower realm? Isn't that shameful? So, even if you temporarily hold back, if it truly reaches the day when the Divine Clan is utterly exhausted, making such a choice can be understood. After all... survival, right? At that time, the lower realm's beings will still be delighted as can be. After all, there's a group of gods willing to join them. But by making the choice now, it's simply too stupid!"
Nie Hu had definitely accumulated a vast amount of resentment in his heart, so whenever he had the chance, he spoke eloquently, trying to persuade Nie Bao to change his mind.
No matter what, they are of the same clan, and once were so intimately close, like the best relatives and friends, so warm.
Whenever he thinks of that scene, Nie Hu's heart also bleeds!
If it weren't for the Beast Clan making this choice, why would they need to collaborate with the Rune Life? The Beast Clan is incredibly fierce, and if they fought alone, they could at least secure a ruler's seat in the future! Even if it's not like the old Divine Realm, what does it matter?
The Beast Clan is still the complete Beast Clan!
But not like now, where his heart bleeds as he must end the life of his fellow clan member in front of these damned rune beings.
Nie Bao was fighting with Nie Hu, while also trying to persuade him, but neither could convince the other.
Nie Hu finally grew impatient and said in a deep voice, "Nie Bao, do you really refuse to change your mind?"
Nie Bao replied, "Elder Nie Hu, don't waste your efforts. Come on, kill me!"
"Ah... I'm sorry then!" Nie Hu roared, opened his jaws wide, and unleashed a crushing force, biting towards Nie Bao's throat.
This was his ultimate move!
At that moment, an incredibly brilliant light suddenly burst from Nie Bao's body.
The light emitted an endless spatial power!
"This is..." Nie Hu bit down on empty air, dumbfounded as he watched the light and Nie Bao disappearing within it. Then, as if insane, he roared at the distant rune beings blocking the space, "You idiots! Why does he have something made by you rune beings?"
The rune life forms over there were also stunned, watching the scene in disbelief, unable to fathom what they saw was real.
But indeed, Nie Bao activated a spatial dharma instrument only rune life could create, and escaped!
This was completely unexpected.
The Beast Clan's hatred for the rune life is all-encompassing. They not only hate the rune life itself but also anything created by rune life.
Therefore, within the Beast Clan, you can see many items made by the Human Clan, but not a single product of the rune life.
This is an attitude, a stance.
So even the rune beings blocking space didn't expect Nie Bao to have such an item.
If they had known earlier and made arrangements, there might have been a chance to intercept Nie Bao.
But it was just too surprising.
Faced with Nie Hu's accusations, the rune life couldn't help but retort, "First, Nie Hu, you yourself lacked the means to keep your clan member; second, since you can collaborate with rune life, why can't your clan use rune dharma instruments?"
"Do you really think I'm so ignorant? This dharma instrument can only be made by the highest-tier rune life!" Nie Hu gritted his teeth and said, "There must be traitors among you!"
"That's pure slander." A powerful rune life said coldly, "Have you forgotten what Nie Bao just did? He just returned from the lower realm. Then he went in good faith to negotiate with the Emperor of the lower realm."
"So what?" Nie Hu coldly looked at the rune life.
"What 'so what'? The lower realm has a supreme rune life. Wasn't that already told to you when we first started collaborating?" The rune life looked at Nie Hu as if he were an idiot.
The Beast Clan is ultimately the Beast Clan, just as brainless! Even the divine beast clan of the Divine Realm... It's the same. Speaking of which, if the Human Clan weren't so selfish and greedy, cooperating with them would have been the best choice. This rune life's heart couldn't help but sigh.
Nie Hu's eyes showed a coldness as he looked at the opposite rune life, forcibly suppressing his urge to act, and then said, "What do we do now?"
The rune life said, "The moment your clan member Nie Bao escaped, we began contacting personnel to launch an attack on your clan's high-ranking members. Caught off guard, this should cause them significant casualties. But that's all we can do. From now on, part of the Beast Clan and rune life's alliance cannot be hidden."
This is a headache, just as the three major Human Clans have always guarded against them, they on this side are always on guard against the three major Human Clans.
Nie Hu reminded at this point, "Nie Bao's speed is unmatched!"
The rune life hesitated slightly but said, "The transmission speed of rune life is truly unparalleled!"
Nie Hu said nothing more, only couldn't help but talk aloud to the sky.
As for Nie Bao, his escape speed was unbelievably fast. His figure almost turned into a pure mental form, spanning multiple universes in a moment, appearing in another space. He was racing against life!
Because he knew that with his escape, the rulers would certainly be in danger!
