"Qian Renxue, do you think I'd agree to a one-on-one duel?
In this Star Dou Great Forest, I have so many companions helping me; the advantage is obvious.
You don't naively think I'd play this childish game with you, do you?"
Qian Renshang stared directly at Qian Renxue, his tone laced with mockery.
Qian Renxue remained unmoved, her eyes resolute as she said,
"Qian Renshang, if you're a coward, then hide behind these soul beasts.
But I believe you won't. Because only a fair fight between us can truly determine who's superior, and only then can I completely wash away the shame in my heart."
She knew Qian Renshang's character well, deliberately provoking him with words, hoping to force him to accept the challenge.
Di Tian sneered from the side, "Qian Renxue, stop trying to provoke us. We won't fall for that.
Do you think we'd just stand by and watch Qian Renshang take such a risk?"
Xiong Jun chimed in,
"That's right, that's right! If you're so capable, get past us first!"
As he spoke, Xiong Jun unleashed a dense surge of soul power, his powerful aura pressing down on Qian Renxue as if it were tangible.
Qian Renxue, however, remained unfazed.
She swung her Angelic Holy Sword, unleashing a golden divine power that slashed at Xiong Jun's soul power surge.
The two collided in mid-air, erupting in a burst of intense light, snapping the surrounding trees in mid-air.
"Hmph, a bunch of soul beasts, daring to block my way.
Qian Renshang, if you don't accept the challenge, you'll be a coward forever!"
Qian Renxue shouted, her gaze fixed on Qian Renshang.
Qian Renshang's resolve wavered.
He was inherently arrogant, and Qian Renxue's humiliation ignited a fire of anger within him.
But reason told him that this might be a conspiracy by Qian Renxue, and rashly accepting the challenge might lead to trouble.
"Qian Renshang, don't be impulsive.
She's deliberately provoking you, don't fall for it!" Biji saw through Qian Renshang's thoughts and quickly advised him softly.
Qian Renshang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said to Qian Renxue,
"Qian Renxue, you'd better get out of here now... otherwise, it'll be too late to leave later."
"If we go all out, Bibi Dong can escape, but you might not be able to..."
Qian Renshang knew he couldn't really kill a god.
Only gods can kill gods, and Qian Renshang only wanted to become a god now, not to get involved in this nonsense with Qian Renxue.
When Qian Renxue heard that Qian Renshang had actually rejected her suggestion, her expression instantly turned ferocious.
Her eyes widened, burning with the flames of anger, and her originally holy and beautiful face now appeared somewhat terrifying due to the distortion.
"Qian Renshang, you actually dare to refuse me!"
Qian Renxue roared through gritted teeth, her voice filled with anger and resentment.
She raised the Angelic Holy Sword high, its blade gleaming with golden light, as if echoing her surging emotions.
"If you don't fight me fair and square, I will spare no effort to kill these Beast Kings, making you live the rest of your life in agony!"
Qian Renxue's voice was like a curse from the deepest hell, icy and chilling.
She swept her gaze over Di Tian and the others, her eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's threat, Di Tian and the others' expressions changed.
Xiong Jun, in particular, was so enraged that his fur stood on end, roaring,
"You despicable woman, don't be so arrogant! We're not afraid of you!"
With that, the murderous aura emanating from him intensified, and the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly with his fury.

The Demon King frowned, secretly pondering a countermeasure.
He knew that Qian Renxue, as a deity, possessed immense power; if she were to launch a reckless attack, although they outnumbered her, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
