Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, the Beast Kings, including Di Tian, were utterly dumbfounded.
Di Tian stared wide-eyed, his already imposing gaze fixed on her, momentarily speechless.
The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, now the Angel Goddess, had actually come to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, specifically challenging Qian Renshang to a duel by name.
This turn of events was far too absurd, completely beyond his expectations.
Xiong Jun was even more direct, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a fist. His honest face was full of astonishment.
"What the hell? They're here to find Qian Renshang again?
And they want a one-on-one fight?
What... what's going on?"
He scratched his hairy head, looking completely bewildered, obviously at a loss for words after Qian Renxue's sudden announcement.
The Demon King's narrowed eyes widened instantly, his gaze filled with disbelief.
"A one-on-one duel? Has she gone mad?
There are so many of us in this Star Dou Great Forest, and she actually wants to fight Qian Renshang one-on-one?
That's a bit too confident."
He thought to himself, even if Qian Renxue is a deity, such behavior is far too audacious.
Isn't she afraid of something unexpected happening?
Bi Ji's brows furrowed, her face filled with worry.
She looked at Qian Renxue, then turned to look at Qian Renshang, completely baffled as to why Qian Renxue was so insistent on fighting him one-on-one.
In her view, Qian Renshang had just experienced a great battle with Bibi Dong and hadn't fully recovered.
A one-on-one duel at this time would undoubtedly be extremely disadvantageous for him.
Qian Renshang, on the other hand, remained calm, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.
He stared directly at Qian Renxue, quickly considering her purpose and how to respond.
"Qian Renxue, have you lost your mind?...
Coming here to act crazy, this is the Star Dou Great Forest, not the Spirit Hall."
"That woman Bibi Dong has already run away... You think you're stronger than her?"
Qian Renshang said, trying to figure out Qian Renxue's thoughts.
Qian Renxue sneered, "So what, Qian Renshang?
The score between us must be settled today.
Last time you defeated me, making me a laughingstock, and I've held that grudge ever since.
Today, I will defeat you honorably and wash away this shame."
And you're not allowed to call anyone else for help! Fight me fairly!"
She slightly raised the Angelic Holy Sword in her hand, its tip pointing at Qian Renshang. Golden divine power flowed across the blade, radiating intense fighting spirit.
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Di Tian and the others finally understood what she meant, and were speechless.
"Qian Renxue, this is the Star Dou Great Forest, not a place for you to run wild. Even if you want a one-on-one duel, you have to ask us first!"
Di Tian took a step forward, his aura instantly exploding, causing the surrounding space to tremble, attempting to intimidate Qian Renxue.
Qian Renshang frowned deeply, looking at the accusing Qian Renxue before him, his heart filled with helplessness and speechlessness.
"Wait… what on earth is Qian Renxue doing?"
He wondered to himself, unable to understand why she, after becoming a god, would specifically come to the Star Dou Great Forest to challenge him to a duel.
"Why would she think I would agree to this?"
Qian Renshang truly couldn't comprehend Qian Renxue's thought process. Moreover, this is the Star Dou Great Forest, with Di Tian and a host of powerful beast kings nearby.
They have the absolute advantage of terrain and manpower; what reason do they have to fight her one-on-one?
Qian Renshang doesn't think Qian Renxue is stronger than Bibi Dong.
Even when Bibi Dong had the advantage after becoming a god, she was ultimately defeated.
Although Qian Renxue is also a god, judging from the divine power fluctuations just now, she might not be able to easily suppress him.
