Chapter 372: Slaying the Thunderhoof and Entering the Repository of Secrets
Chapter 372: Slaying the Thunderhoof and Entering the Repository of Secrets
"..."
Startled by the sudden object thrown at it, Thunderhoof's scales stood on end. Upon realizing it was just an ordinary jade slip, its four eyes filled with embarrassment and anger, and it immediately assumed a life-threatening stance, roaring,
"You despicable creature, how dare you insult me!"
Within the pitch-black light curtain, countless crimson eyes stared at the jade slip on the ground.
Finally, the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign spoke, "Is it telling the truth or lying?"
This time, however, it directed its question to the Golden-Eyed Lion.
"There's truth and lies," Shen Yi replied calmly, meeting its gaze.
"Which parts are lies?" The Spider Sovereign slowly rose, and four thick spider arms extended from within the light curtain.
"Aside from that one sentence, almost everything else is a lie," Shen Yi said without a hint of arrogance.
"Which sentence?" The Spider Sovereign was now a bit more curious.
Hearing this, Shen Yi looked down at Thunderhoof and spoke slowly, but his voice gradually carried a fierce and ruthless intent, "I do intend to tear it apart."
Upon hearing these words, the Spider Sovereign suddenly stepped out of the light curtain and moved closer to the lion's face, "On what grounds?"
"I just want an explanation."
Facing the crimson eyes so close by, Shen Yi showed no fear or hesitation. Instead, he scorned, "Unless you enjoy being manipulated. A few words of slander are enough to make you, a Great Demon Sovereign, obey its every command."
"Hiss!"
Anger rose in the Spider Sovereign's eyes.
But it remained motionless.
As if pondering something.
"Spider Sovereign, I didn't..." Thunderhoof, sensing something amiss, instantly flew into a rage again, stomping its hooves but not daring to approach the Golden-Eyed Lion, "You dare slander me! You're seeking death!"
The Spider Sovereign slowly turned its gaze towards Thunderhoof, seeing its terrified appearance like a startled bird.
Suddenly, it felt a bit bored.
Just then, it quietly raised its head and looked towards the sky.
There, a massive Golden-Winged Demon was hovering, its eyes fixed on the area below, "I'll give you one chance, follow me now."
"..."
Shen Yi seemed to ignore the spider and continued staring at it.
The Spider Sovereign's eyes were cold and indifferent, but it suddenly laughed, "Golden-Winged, in my territory, you want to take someone away with just a word? I'm injured, not dead."
A Demon Sovereign capable of withstanding three Wutong Mountain disciples.
In their situation, where most of these old creatures couldn't leave their Immortal Mansions, keeping the other party's loyalty would be extremely advantageous.
Especially after Thunderhoof's poor performance, the contrast made the feeling even stronger.
This lion, even knowing the trap was set by itself, still returned the jade slip intact, even including the upper volume.
Although it seemed to have a short temper, this subordinate who didn't hide its emotions was more trustworthy than Thunderhoof, who spoke nonsense.
Anyone would feel indignant if they were wrongfully accused and almost killed.
It's a simple logic.
If the Golden-Eyed Lion truly betrayed the Nine-Tattooed Tiger, why would this Mother Tiger rush over in such a hurry?
The Spider Sovereign admitted it was tempted.
"Deal with your own family matters."
It left this sentence and returned to the pitch-black light curtain.
Instead of forcefully keeping the two demons and letting them scheme against each other, or even handing them over to the Golden-Winged Nine-Tattooed Tiger, it was better to keep the more useful Long Knife for itself.
"Answer me!" The Golden-Winged Nine-Tattooed Tiger seemed unconcerned about what others said, her eyes fixed on the lion.
If she didn't get a satisfactory response, she was determined to sever ties with the old spider and slay the lion to vent her anger.
The dignity of the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns could not be trifled with.
However, the next scene left the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign stunned in the sky.
The lion turned its head slowly, speaking calmly, "Why the rush? I said I'd take care of it after I finish my business."
"..."
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign never expected that this dog thing had deceived her and yet remained so composed, showing no signs of guilt.
She suppressed her anger, baring her fangs, "How long will it take?"
Hearing this, Shen Yi turned around, and a murderous intent flashed in his golden eyes.
His deep voice resonated in the air, "Rest assured, it'll be quick."
The Golden-Winged Nine-Tattooed Demon Sovereign stared at the lion's sturdy back, its shoulders slightly raised, exuding a sense of violent beauty.
She took a deep breath.
In the end, she said no more and remained suspended in the air.
"You... you all..."
Thunderhoof widened its four eyes, its breathing becoming more rapid.
It had fallen into a daze.
This was the Thousand Demons Cave, and there were two of the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns before them... And now, this lion was about to attack it right in front of them, yet no one intervened? What had happened to this world?
"Are you all insane? It wants to kill me! It just killed the Deer Demon, it..."
Thunderhoof's voice trembled with anger, its heart pounding with indignation. It instantly went berserk and roared at the lion, "Come on, I'll fight you to the death! Let's go all out!"
The roar abruptly stopped.
Boom!
Shen Yi suddenly clenched his fist, and the thick arm seemed to contain incomparable power, as sharp claws fiercely struck Lei Ti's skull.
The impact sent Lei Ti crashing to the ground.
Nine demons emerged from within him, transforming into crimson patterns that covered his body, and a torrent of demonic power swept through the surroundings!
With his current body-tempering strength, he was far from being able to crush the Demon Sovereign of the 17th Cavern, and was probably still slightly weaker.
But Lei Ti had already been terrified when he saw the lion dealing with the Wutong Mountain disciples earlier.
He had no intention of engaging in a contest of strength.
He allowed Shen Yi to pin him to the ground, instinctively choosing to use his stronger innate divine ability.
The green in his eyes was instantly covered by purple.
A surge of thunderous lava rushed into the sky, turning the sky for hundreds of miles into thunderclouds, and then, like countless sharp claws, it relentlessly slashed towards the Golden-Eyed Lion!
Under such a vast torrent of thunderous lava.
Shen Yi focused on pinching Lei Ti's neck, while freeing his right hand, and the Dark Tail Spear transformed into a stream of black light, falling into his palm.
He raised his right arm and thrust the spear into Lei Ti's chest with a puffing sound.
Blood splattered onto his mane, adding a touch of ferocity to his hideous face.
His back quickly turned black under the thunderous lava, as if it was about to be shattered.
But Shen Yi did not resist.
He released Lei Ti's neck, and his two claws, following the wound created by the Dark Tail Spear, forcefully probed into Lei Ti's skin beneath the scales, and a green light appeared on his nails, tearing the wound into a gaping hole.
In just a few breaths, the thunderous lava had already blasted his body apart.
Zhi La—
Lei Ti felt his chest being torn open, and the mystic glow within his body wildly expanded.
His four eyes were filled with fear: "You crazy! You're throwing your life away!"
"And you dare to challenge this Sovereign?"
The lion's face revealed a mocking expression, his golden eyes filled with madness.
Finally, he clenched Lei Ti's heart in his hand.
"Lion Sovereign, Lion Sovereign!"
The Thunderhoof Demon Sovereign was filled with fear, sensing that something was amiss.
The opponent seemed to have been severely injured by his innate divine ability... but the strength in his hands showed no signs of weakening.
Logically speaking, even the Demon Sovereign of the 11th Cavern, if not in the right state of mind, would have been severely injured by the overwhelming thunderous lava by now.
But the lion didn't seem to be badly injured at all! As a beast that lived in the Bright Thunder Pool, even its heart was enveloped by thunder.
Other demons would have been injured by simply touching the thunderous lava.
However, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign still showed no reaction, and his sharp five fingers easily pierced through the lava, penetrating the wildly beating heart.
With all his might, he gripped the heart.
Finally, the heart exploded!
Bang! With a dull sound, the Golden-Winged Nine-Striped Tiger gradually regained his senses: "..."
It was normal for a battle between two demons to last for months, as there were chases and escapes, with intervals for rest and recovery.
But to end it so quickly, there could only be one reason—they were both fearless and reckless.
He spoke quickly, realizing how fast it had been.
Watching the lion slowly stand up,
The opponent was clearly severely injured, his body covered in black blood, even his mane was matted.
But in the instant their golden eyes met.
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign inexplicably felt that the lion seemed even more majestic than before.
She steadied her mind and transformed into a human, descending: "Now, it's time for you to give this Sovereign an explanation."
Shen Yi held the Dark Tail Spear at a slant, walking slowly towards her.
His golden eyes looked down upon her: "What explanation do you want?"
"Me!"
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign opened her mouth, anger flashing in her eyes: "You promised..."
"What did this Sovereign promise?"
Shen Yi squatted down, interrupting her words.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then saw a hint of mockery in his eyes.
She suddenly remembered that the lion hadn't actually promised anything last time, and even left with an arrogant attitude.
She had thought he had conceded and understood the rules...
Shen Yi sheathed the Dark Tail Spear and said seriously: "This Sovereign said that I want you and your Immortal Mansion, but I didn't say I would do things for you. Just wait patiently."
The woman looked into his golden eyes, seeing the burning intensity within.
The slightly hoarse voice in her ear was so calm.
She suddenly felt a sense of provocation, her voluptuous body trembling slightly.
She also sneered: "Do you think you can? This Sovereign will wait and see!"
Leaving these words, she stared deeply into Shen Yi's eyes and turned to leave.
Shen Yi silently watched her disappear into the horizon, then stood up.
Can he do it?
That depends on whether he can find the cultivation technique quickly.
With this thought, he glanced at Lei Ti's corpse and carried it into the pitch-black light curtain.
