Seeing Willow God retreat, Fang Yuan, who had been tense all along, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That guy is finally gone, or else this Demon Monarch would have been in great danger!"

"Big brother, don't blame me! It's just that Willow God is too perverse. Being able to hold on until now is already doing my best!"

After this battle, Fang Yuan clearly realized the gap between himself and Willow God. The opponent's true body wasn't even present, yet he could easily make Fang Yuan unable to lift his head. His cultivation was at least the sixth rank, with a possibility of seventh.

"Retreat!"

After catching his breath, Fang Yuan glanced at Little Sword Immortal and others who were hesitating whether to attack, and immediately shouted to the Vajra Giant Ape below.

It wasn't that Fang Yuan was afraid of these useless fools, but earlier he had been whipped twice by Willow God, suffering considerable internal injuries. If he were to fight again, it would inevitably aggravate his injuries.

The Vajra Giant Ape had been terrified just now, almost thinking big brother was about to be killed by Willow God, even now it had lingering fears. Hearing the order to retreat was naturally to its liking.

Roar!

The Vajra Giant Ape let out a long skyward howl, and immediately, those ferocious beasts still in a frenzy stopped and quickly retreated.

A moment later, Fang Yuan led the Vajra Giant Ape and the surviving half of the demon soldiers to retreat back to Yin Yue Mountain.

Seeing the Black Demon Tiger retreat, Little Sword Immortal and others hesitated in their hearts, yet no one acted rashly.

The opponent was injured, but to what extent, no one could guess.

Rushing to block now might not only fail to kill the Black Demon Tiger but also provoke him, losing their own lives.

Thus, the Revivers watched Fang Yuan leave helplessly.

Imperial Capital

With formidable strength, Jiang Che crushed all the obstructions of the Great Qin Empire, advancing with unstoppable force.

Just as he was about to enter the core district, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

"Thunder Tiger King, what are you intending to do?"

Willow God materialized a form condensed from a clear glow, wearing flowing azure garments, surrounded by an aura of azure Immortal Light, radiating unmatched grace, gazing at Jiang Che with a celestial voice that seemed to cleanse one's soul.

Seeing the person blocking the way, Jiang Che paused with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Soon after, Jiang Che cursed his useless second brother in his heart.

In such a short time, he couldn't hold out!

Originally thinking he could hold on until he found Willow God's true body, he never expected that just as he arrived in the core district, Willow God returned.

Undoubtedly, this meant trouble ahead.

"Thunder Tiger King, what are you intending to do?"

Perhaps because Jiang Che remained silent, Willow God repeated the question, with a markedly colder tone than before.

At this moment, Jiang Che came to his senses, feeling a bit embarrassed like being caught red-handed while stealing watermelons from someone else's field.

Seeing Willow God's increasingly unfriendly gaze, Jiang Che mustered courage, forced a smile, and said, "Heh, Willow God Daoist friend, I specially came to have a discussion with you, can we meet in person?"

"In person? Thunder Tiger King, I wondered why you barged into the Imperial Capital, turns out this was your plan?"

Upon hearing this, Willow God's gaze changed instantly, emitting intense coldness. Thunder Tiger's visit was undoubtedly to destroy her true body.

"Willow God Daoist friend, please don't misunderstand, I have no other intentions, I truly came to discuss Tao with you."

Sensing Willow God's killing intent, Jiang Che hurriedly explained.

He merely wanted to bind her, not engage in senseless fighting.

"Hmph, enough talk, if that's your intention, then today, let's settle who's superior and who's inferior!"

Clearly, Willow God didn't believe Jiang Che's words, already convinced of his malicious intent.

But truly speaking, Willow God's assumption wasn't wrong, for if Jiang Che truly intended to discuss Tao, how could he rudely force his way in?

Only with unspeakable intentions would he take advantage of her presence in Qingyuan City, attempting to forcibly enter the Imperial capital.

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, Willow God struck instantly. Her jade arms moved in the air, an endless green light surged from behind, emitting boundless vitality, illuminating the skies of the Imperial Capital.

In the instant of green, willow branches slowly emerged, each resembling jade, radiating intense light. These willows appeared to grow from the sky, swiftly descending, like blue divine spears cast from the Celestial Realm, aimed at Jiang Che.

Boom boom boom~

Each willow branch emitted a clear brilliance, resembling meteors trailing green flames across the sky.

"Damn useless second brother!"

Seeing the irreparable situation, Jiang Che couldn't help but curse his second brother again. Now, if he wanted to bind Willow God, he might have to defeat her first.

Roar!

In an instant, Jiang Che roared, his voice echoing throughout the Imperial Capital, causing all residents hiding at home to jump in fright.

Jiang Che stepped forward, and in a flash, purple light burst forth.

At this moment, Jiang Che resembled a purple sun, competing for brilliance against the azure world behind Willow God.

Rumble~

Along with the purple light, thousands of thunders appeared, constantly leaping and gathering in the air, transforming into a purple Thunder Lake.

Jiang Che stood at the center of the lake, his body bathed in thunder, with thousands of thunders roaring in unison, bursting out an ear-piercing sound. At this moment, the windows and doors of every household in the Imperial Capital violently trembled.

Moo moo~~

The next moment, within the Thunder Lake, came the sound of dragon roars, as Thunder Dragons swam within the lake. These thunderous True Dragons, seemingly alive, rose into the sky.

Purple light illuminating the sky, countless Thunderous True Dragons roared and crashed into the falling willow branches.

Boom~

Instantly, the attacking willow branches collided with the Thunderous True Dragons; both sides shattered at the same time. Green and purple lights intertwined and exploded in the air, with a continuous series of violent crash sounds echoing.

"Humph!"

Seeing the attack fail, Willow God snorted coldly, spreading her arms as green threads danced in the wind, and the light flowed within the world of green light behind her.

Leaf after leaf, like stars in the night sky, rapidly lit up, densely packed, emitting a concentrated green light.

With the Willow God's thought, the jade-like willow leaves, with edges gleaming sharply, transformed into a torrent shooting towards Jiang Che.

The entire sky was instantly filled with countless piercing sounds.

Jiang Che's gaze focused, he summoned the Heaven Slayer Halberd and swung it in the air, a series of golden light blades containing the Power of Space shredded the incoming leaves completely.

However, these willow leaves seemed endless; no matter how Jiang Che destroyed them, they showed no sign of decreasing.

At that moment, Jiang Che was engulfed in the torrent of willow leaves.

Clang!

Right then, a deep bell sound rang out, with the Donghuang Bell emitting purple light flying from Jiang Che's body.

The terrifying bell sound formed sound waves sweeping towards the west, shattering all the willow leaves in its path to pieces.

The next moment, Jiang Che, holding the bell, charged forward against the flow of willow leaves. Whenever he was blocked, Jiang Che would activate the Donghuang Bell, causing the surrounding space to shatter and turn the dangerous willow leaves into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Che rushed in front of Willow God wielding two Spirit Treasures, continuously swinging the Heaven Slayer Halberd as if it could slash everything apart.

As for Willow God, at this moment, she could only defend, continually being suppressed by Jiang Che. Every time the Heaven Slayer Halberd slashed out a golden light blade, it would knock Willow God several meters away.

"Only big brother can make a move! Haha, can't act arrogant now can he!"

On the journey back, Fang Yuan was watching the duel through his communicator, witnessing his big brother embarrass the damned Willow God, and felt great admiration swelling within his heart.

In no time at all, Willow God was forcibly pushed back a thousand meters by Jiang Che's relentless attacks. Her body, condensed from green light, showed multiple damaged areas, all cut by the light blades with the Power of Space, making them hard to repair.

"Thunder Tiger, today, even if I die and my path disappears, I will leave you here!"

The never before seen embarrassed Willow God was furious, determined to make Jiang Che pay the price.

"Gather!"

With a resolute cry from Willow God, the entire Great Qin Empire's earth trembled slightly at that moment.

The Power of Earth Veins from across the nation began fiercely converging towards the Imperial Capital, with endless force flooding into a courtyard in the East District.

The Willow God's main body, having already extended five branches, suddenly appeared jade-like, with green light flourishing. The entire Imperial Capital trembled continuously, and instantly, a green light column shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds.

With the support of the Power of Earth Veins, the Willow God's incarnation in the sky closed her eyes tightly, her figure rising high, floating within the world of green light behind her, her aura suddenly surged, becoming increasingly terrifying.

Behind Willow God appeared a giant willow phantom reaching sky and earth, with its ancient trunk filled with a sense of time standing between heaven and earth. Three thousand willow branches containing Zen and reason hung down from the clouds, each leaf emitting celestial fragrance like unparalleled divine medicine.

Boom!

In an instant, those three thousand willow branches moved, turning into countless light shadows in the air, slicing the heavens and earth into numerous pieces, attacking Jiang Che.

Clang!

Realizing the opponent's aura must have increased significantly, Jiang Che knew something was wrong, suspending the Donghuang Bell over his head, casting a light shield, while simultaneously driving his Spiritual Power Shield to the extreme.

"Kill!"

Jiang Che faced the challenge head-on, swinging the Heaven Slayer Halberd towards the sky.

Boom!

In an instant, the Heaven Slayer Halberd in Jiang Che's hands was swept away by endless willow branches. After a series of "clang clang clang" sounds, the Donghuang Bell overhead finally couldn't hold up, causing the shield to disperse. Ultimately, the willow branches struck Jiang Che's Spiritual Power Shield.

Crack!

In a few breaths, the Spiritual Power Shield shattered apart, and Jiang Che was directly swept a hundred meters away, spitting blood wildly.

Without delay, enduring the pain, Jiang Che hurriedly called back the two Spirit Treasures to protect himself.

"Big brother, Willow God now resembles the embodiment of the Great Qin Empire's earth veins, don't fight head-on!"

Nangong Luo emerged from afar on the battlefield, loudly advising Jiang Che.

"Forget it, that guy's really perverse, have to find another opportunity later!"

Feeling helpless, Jiang Che glanced at the looming giant willow phantom, then turned to retreat.

After quickly leaving the Imperial Capital with Nangong Luo, Willow God, along with the shadow behind her, faded away into the air.

Soon after, the weak voice of Willow God sounded in Dean Lin's mind.

"Dean Lin, I have exhausted myself and am about to fall asleep. The Great Qin Empire must not awaken me unless facing life and death!"
