Little Black stepped forward first, his gaze locked firmly on Immortal Youhan as his voice boomed like thunder:

"I will not waste more words or time on you."
"You and I will make a one-move pact!"
"I will make only one move. If you can take it, today's matter will be wiped clean, and you may leave as you please."
"If you cannot take it, and your body perishes and your Dao vanishes, you will have only yourself to blame."
