An Alliance Formed, the Eight Immortals in Danger

Upon hearing this, Ao Run laughed heartily, picked up his wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

He was indeed incredibly imposing, and as the mighty Dragon King, he was quite renowned throughout the entire Primordial World universe. However, he couldn't afford to offend Lü Dongbin at this moment, since the Eight Immortals shared a common enemy: Lü Dongbin. Therefore, Ao Run didn't show any arrogance and simply offered a polite toast.

"What brings the Eight Immortals to my Heavenly Realm?"

Lü Dongbin asked, his face calm, without any sign of tension or fear, as if everything was under his control. He remained as nonchalant as ever.

"Hey-hey!"

"I wonder if any of you would be interested in joining forces with us Eight Immortals to deal with that beast Ao Guang?"

Ao Run asked with a smile.

Lü Dongbin frowned upon hearing this. "What do you want us to do together?"

"All we need is your cooperation to eliminate that beast Ao Guang. Then this continent will belong to the Eight Immortals!"

Ao Run straight to the point and stated his thoughts.

Even if you destroy Ao Guang, you won't change this world. Stop daydreaming!

The Nine-Tailed Fox said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Ao Run frowned and glanced at the Nine-Tailed Fox. He knew that this woman was quite powerful, and moreover, she was a nine-tailed fox demon. He couldn't afford to offend her, so he had no choice but to endure it.

"Hehe, the Nine-Tailed Fox is right. I won't lie to you, this time it really was the Eight Immortals who joined forces to deal with you rats."

Ao Run said with a cold laugh.

"Haha, although you Eight Immortals are very strong, you're still far from being able to deal with us!"

Lü Dongbin shook his head.

"That beast Ao Guang isn't stupid. How could he let his men come to their deaths so easily? Your men are probably all Yellow Springs by now, so we don't need to worry at all."

Ao Run smiled.

"So you've already gathered information and know that we scoundrels might come to ambush you. But I still advise you not to try to provoke us, or your fate will be dire."

Lü Dongbin narrowed his eyes, a chill emanating from his body, his tone icy cold.

"Hahaha, what a boastful tone!"

Ao Run laughed loudly, "That's right, we have indeed gathered a lot of information about you, but that's only the surface. If you really had such great abilities, then that beast Ao Guang wouldn't have perished at our hands. Also, you mustn't underestimate us. The strength of the Eight Immortals is not to be underestimated; otherwise, we wouldn't have become the leader of the Four Demon King."

"Alright, you can all get lost now."

Lü Dongbin waved his hand, not wanting to waste any more time.

Upon hearing this, Ao Run snorted coldly and led his group of Yaomo away from the place.

After they left, Lü Dongbin and the others began to set up defenses, and small barriers appeared one after another, forming small encirclements.

Soon, figures appeared before the crowd, all of them Demon Race cultivators.

"Ao Run, are you confident you can win over Lü Dongbin?"

Ao Run nodded.

"Don't worry, they're just a bunch of ants. I alone am enough."

Ao Run said with great confidence, then nodded to Ao Run and charged directly at Lü Dongbin.

"Boom!"

Ao Run acted swiftly, smashing Lü Dongbin's barrier with a single punch, instantly shattering it.

Lü Dongbin snorted coldly and also attacked Ao Run.

The two collided, and one by one, the barriers shattered.

Upon seeing this, Ao Run narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Good!"

Ao Run roared, and his body suddenly swelled up to a height of a hundred feet, like an elephant, and stomped down hard on Lü Dongbin.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions rang out, and Lü Dongbin was kicked away by Ao Run, his body crashing into a boulder and shattering it into pieces.

"Ao Run, I'd like to see how I'll deal with you if this is all the strength you've got."

Lü Dongbin wiped the corner of his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared at Ao Run with a cold gaze.

He hadn't expected Ao Run to have reached such a level; his strength was several times greater than that of Ao Guang, whom he had encountered before, forcing him to take him seriously.

"Kid, you're too arrogant. But it's good this way; let me teach you a lesson so you won't think I, Ao Run, am just a good-for-nothing!"

Ao Run said angrily, and then he walked step by step toward Lü Dongbin.

"Ao Run, since you're courting death, then don't blame me."

Lü Dongbin shouted at Ao Run, and a terrifying aura surged from his body, pressing down on Ao Run.

"Oh? You still have a trump card up your sleeve? Let's see!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Run's expression hardened. He knew that Lü Dongbin still had trump cards up his sleeve, but he was not afraid; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited.

Ao Run also wanted to see what Lü Dongbin's trump card was.

Immediately, his aura intensified once more, and streaks of black demonic runes emerged from his body.

"The Principle of Darkness!"

Upon seeing Ao Run's actions, Lü Dongbin's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected that the other party had actually comprehended the Principle of Darkness, and it seemed to be quite powerful—not just ordinary Principle of Darkness, but rather the Principle of Darkness of Darkness Demon God.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you allied with Ao Guang? Do you also want to become a lackey of the Darkness Demon God?"

Lü Dongbin squinted and asked Ao Run.

"Hmph, I don't have the ability to become a minion of the Darkness Demon God. Stop spouting nonsense!"

Ao Run sneered, "But you're right, your strength is not bad. If I don't kill you, Ao Guang will definitely not let me off easily!"

Ao Run sneered.

"Hmph, since you know about this, you should run away even more!" Lü Dongbin sneered.

"Hahaha! You think I'm afraid of death? You bunch of rats! Our Yaomo Clan fears no one!" Ao Run laughed and said, "But if you know what's good for you, leave your treasures to me, and I guarantee you can leave the Heavenly Court safely. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you!"

"Heh, what a boastful tone! Let's give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Dongbin smiled disdainfully, and a violent aura emanated from his body, seemingly capable of devouring everything.

Ao Run didn't hold back and attacked Lü Dongbin directly.

Lü Dongbin's strength was far weaker than Ao Guang's, so he was not afraid of Lü Dongbin at all and immediately displayed his powerful strength, intending to kill Lü Dongbin here.

Lü Dongbin's face also darkened.

"Act recklessly!"

"Boom!"

Two golden beams suddenly shot out from Lü Dongbin's eyes, piercing through the void and hurtling towards Ao Run.
