Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: I gave you a chance...

The arena pulsed with excitement the flags etched with ancient sigils flapping with the wind. Xiang Yu stepped into the centre of the arena, his crimson eyes locking onto Lu Se right across from him. Loud jeers shock the arena booing Xiang Yu. Some spat in his direction, while others threw things with derogatory insults hurled in his way. Lu Se was no stranger to bloodshed, her sun-kissed skin adorned with red scars from countless battles.

She didn’t just become the Demon King’s most revered and fierce concubine by sitting pretty. She endured years of suffering and climbed out of the trenches all by herself before she fell in love with her lord and vowed to kill for him.

The arena trembled as Lu Se drew her twin blades glinting in the sunlight. Demons, their forms grotesque and otherworldly, pressed against the barrier, their eyes gleaming with hunger. They had gathered to witness this clash of this infernal titan against a pathetic half-blood.

Some placed bets, waging against Xiang Yu. There were only a handful that placed their bets on him. That’s because they believed no one would be stupid enough to fight against Lu Se without something underneath their sleeves.

"You brat," she hissed, her voice like shards of glass. "Just because you have my Lord’s blood running in your veins it doesn’t mean that you will win. It won’t save you."

Xiang Yu flexed his fingers, sinister energy crackling around him. "I hope you said your farewells," he replied. "Because this is where you meet your end."

The crowd’s fervour intensified as she lunged at Xiang Yu, their anticipation palpable. Xiang Yu’s sword slid free from its scabbard as a sinister grin twisted on his lips. This was no mere duel. It was her final reckoning.

Her attack was swift, fuelled by rage. She sought to end him swiftly, her steps quick and light, but Xiang Yu defied her expectations. His strength exploded forth, a tempest of maliciousness. Their blades clashed, sparks dancing in the air. The extreme force threw her off balance. She flew back a few feet before stabilising her form her hand scraping the ground and raising dust. She raised her head sharply with confusion etched on her brows.

The Demon King, who was sitting high above the crowd surrounded by his concubines, suddenly looked up. He wasn’t paying attention before considering this a mere practice match for Lu Se but he had grossly underestimated his estranged son. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Xiang Yu’s eyes bore into hers, crimson flames flickering. "I will give you a chance. Yield, and when I slaughter your King, I will let you live," he hissed, and the arena seemed to shrink around them. The crowd’s cheers blurred into a distant hum.
