Chapter 388: The Rise of the New Demon Emperor (Part 3 of 2, 3k)
Chapter 388: The Rise of the New Demon Emperor (Part 3 of 2, 3k)
The clouds and mist dispersed.
The White Hawk Demon Sovereign took a few steps, having already heard about this lion's temperament from other demons.
However, seeing is believing.
When it actually witnessed this scene, it was still somewhat surprised.
A moment later, the White Hawk Demon Sovereign laughed again, "Good."
Just as it wanted to dampen the lion's fighting spirit, since the lion was so eager, it didn't mind satisfying it.
It was proud of its accomplishments, but such arrogance wouldn't work in the Thousand Demons Cave.
"If you want to fight, then let's fight properly!"
The White Hawk Demon Sovereign let out a long whinny, and immediately, a group of demons rushed over, only to scatter in all directions!
Soon, a pair of eyes appeared in the sky.
Then a second pair, a third pair...
Those eyes seemed to have just awakened from slumber, still a bit blurry, but quickly turning into curiosity.
Five mysterious beings began to pay attention to this place.
"Since we're choosing a new Demon Emperor, it's a good opportunity to see who is more suitable."
"But in battle, there's no guarantee of survival."
"You all should consider this carefully."
The White Hawk Demon Sovereign's words slowly swept through the area.
Besides the five great Demon Emperors, many lesser demons also cautiously gathered here.
Their gazes fell on the two figures in the center.
"Huff."
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign lightly touched her forehead. With her understanding of the lion, if there was still a chance to ease the situation, the moment this stance was revealed, the lion would never back down.
After speaking, the White Hawk Demon Sovereign stood silently.
What it wanted was to break the lion's proud spine in front of the other demons.
If this matter was handled well,
Perhaps it wouldn't need to deal with the lion in the future, but could truly use it as a reliable and reassuring blade.
Only with respect can one understand hierarchy.
Thinking of this, the White Hawk Demon Sovereign turned her gaze downward.
The eight-armed strongman felt her gaze, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
He didn't know where the lion's arrogance came from.
But he would definitely, in front of the great Demon Emperors, inch by inch, personally crush the lion's bones.
He had waited for so many years, and finally, a vacancy had appeared.
Whoever dares to take it will die!
"Come!"
The strongman suddenly extended his eight sturdy arms and let out a fierce roar.
Although in human form, his physique was no weaker than the eight-zhang-tall lion.
Plus, with his hideous arms, he looked even more robust than the lion.
Before his roar had ended,
The majestic figure in front of him had already disappeared from its original spot, moving so fast that even its golden eyes dragged a trail of light in the air, like a flame tail.
Boom! Shen Yi crashed into the Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor's embrace, and his sharp claws viciously sank into the demon's muscles.
He lifted the demon high, then smashed him down onto the mountain.
The impact of their collision caused the ground to shake and the mountains to tremble, making the demons tremble.
However, whether it was the White Hawk or the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor, or the five pairs of eyes in the sky, almost none of them showed any change.
For the great Demon Emperors, such strength wasn't even an appetizer.
"Is it because of injuries that it's so weak?"
The plump woman frowned, and with the lion's previous strength, it was at most equivalent to the early stage of the Profound Spirit Late Stage.
Not to mention dealing with the Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor, even the rumored slaying of Zhang Xuanhe was impossible.
Too reckless! It's better to heal the injuries first.
The Eighth Cave isn't going anywhere, so what's the rush?
"Huff."
The Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor fell towards the foot of the mountain.
He didn't struggle but maintained his falling motion, and instead of surprise, his face showed a hint of pleasure.
He was enjoying the thrill before the slaughter.
With such strength, it dared to shout at him, making it seem like a big deal.
He opened his eyes and looked at the figure attacking from above.
A cruel smile appeared on his lips, and his eight arms reached out together, suddenly grabbing the lion's spine!
Under the immense force, the lion's muscles almost exploded.
He didn't need any divine abilities; he chose the most brutal way to demonstrate his strength in front of the other emperors.
"Does it feel good?"
The Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor finally mocked with arrogance, and his eight arms were as solid as cast iron, seemingly able to crush the lion into a soft, boneless corpse in the next moment.
"Speak!"
Listening to the annoying sound in his ear, Shen Yi's eyes remained calm.
He had taken a big risk by making a move in front of so many great Demon Emperors. He couldn't use most of his techniques, whether it was his Dao techniques, sword techniques, or the array of formations in his mind.
He slightly adjusted his breathing, and with a palm strike like a hammer, he slammed it onto the Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor's jaw!
Bang—
The powerful force surged out through his palm.
The Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor's head was smashed and flipped over.
In the palm of his hand, a Li Huo brand was quietly sent in without a sound.
"Pfft!"
The strongman spat out a mouthful of blood, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He clearly felt that he could crush the lion's body in the next moment, but this feeling had lasted for nearly five breaths, and he still couldn't advance an inch, as if this was the limit and he couldn't break through no matter what.
Stranger still, did the lion not feel pain? In this situation, it was still able to exert force as if nothing had happened.
However, this doubt only lasted for an instant.
A searing pain emerged from an unfathomable depth.
The Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor let out a long whine, involuntarily revealing his hundred-zhang-long true form, with countless legs clinging to the mountain wall, tearing off large chunks of stone.
Rumble—
After finally stopping his fall, he didn't counterattack but violently shook his head, like a raging dragon, smashing the surrounding rocks.
"Hmm?"
The White Hawk Demon Emperor finally paused for a moment.
The Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor's reaction was as if something was biting his head, but no matter how closely he looked, there was nothing there.
However, in the midst of the fight, there was no time to think.
The Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor stepped forward indifferently and kicked the Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor, sending it tumbling down the mountain.
His figure suddenly shot out.
Another palm strike landed on the Thousand-Legged Demon Queen's head.
The subsequent strikes followed like a raging storm, each one causing the Thousand-Legged Demon Queen to emit a miserable scream and its body to writhe in madness, as if enduring intense torture.
Five Li Fire brands were imprinted into its soul.
But Shen Yi showed no signs of stopping.
After cultivating the Cavernous Soul Refining Art, his soul was far stronger than before.
He raised his palm again, and another Li Fire brand appeared in his palm.
Boom!
The Thousand-Legged Demon Queen finally lost its strength, unable to grip the mountain wall, and fell towards the foot of the mountain.
A crisp buzz sounded.
The pitch-black flowing light fell into Shen Yi's palm, transforming into a hideous long spear, longer than his body.
Thunderous light flashed, and the spear's glow seeped through his fingers, as if tearing through the night sky. With one final plunge, he transformed into a Shadow-Tailed Long Dragon, leading with the spear's tip.
Hssst!
With the power of the Nine Yao, the Shadow-Tailed Spear split the Thousand-Legged Demon Queen's head in two.
It cleaved down the middle!
The emerald green demon blood splattered, as if blooming in the air.
By the time it hit the ground, it had already transformed into two Five-Hundred-Legged Demon Queens.
The mountain crumbled, and rocks tumbled.
The Golden-Eyed Lion held the long spear in one hand, its expression indifferent, as it emerged from the blood-soaked sky, leaving behind a trail of blood imprints with each step.
It stuffed the demon core into its mouth and began to chew slowly.
"Ahh!"
The small demons on the mountain quickly scattered, wishing their parents had given them more legs.
They were all demons from the Thousand Demons Cave.
But the majestic figure in their eyes seemed so ferocious and terrifying.
It was as if that figure was the true great demon.
"No..."
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign held its breath, never expecting the battle to end so quickly.
The entire process was incredibly bizarre.
The Thousand-Legged Demon Queen's sudden madness was as if it had been poisoned... Could this lion also be skilled in medicine, using some deadly poison from the Spirit Plant Garden?
The five pairs of eyes in the sky stared at each other in shock, even suspecting that Bai Hong was mocking them.
This wasn't a fair fight.
It was a one-sided slaughter... What was there to see?
"Tsk."
The white horse hovered in the clouds, its eyes fixed on the figure below.
Its black eyes deepened once more.
"What demon technique did you use just now?" it asked coldly.
It hadn't intended to ask such a detailed question, as it saw the lion as a dead man, just waiting for the moment of death.
For an existence like this, Bai Hong would never show mercy.
But now, it had to get an answer.
"..."
Hearing this question, Shen Yi finally stopped walking.
He looked up at the sky.
The black eyes of the white horse were faintly flickering.
After a long silence, Shen Yi's eyes revealed a murderous intent, and he let out a mocking laugh, "And you have the nerve to question me?"
"..."
Including the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign, all the great demon sovereigns fell silent.
Then, they saw the lion casually raise its spear, pointing it nonchalantly towards the sky, "Have you forgotten who I am now?"
Who wasn't one of the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns.
Upon hearing this, Bai Hong's expression turned completely cold, and it said succinctly, "I ask, you answer, or die."
These calm words revealed the terrifying killing intent of the third cave's demon sovereign.
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign's face changed slightly.
Just as it was about to speak, it saw the lion still acting recklessly, shaking the Shadow-Tailed Spear to create a spear flower, aiming at the white horse's neck.
"You didn't just decide to kill me now, did you? You really think I'm a fool? Should I tell you how to save your life?" Shen Yi said with contempt.
"It's dead, and you can't hold back your killing intent. So, what's the point of comparing? You can decide who the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns are."
After saying this, he beckoned to the white horse, "Come, kill me."
Upon hearing this, the five pairs of eyes in the sky suddenly showed a hint of strangeness, and they all fell silent.
The plump woman flapped her wings, her expression complex as she looked at the white horse.
"..."
Bai Hong's black eyes blinked, and its lips moved.
Until the blackness in its eyes turned into the most intense killing intent.
"Of course you're one of the Ten Great Demon Sovereigns."
"I'm not only not going to kill you, but I'll also announce to the world that you're the new demon sovereign of the Thousand Demons Cave."
"Are you satisfied?"
Hearing this urgent response, Shen Yi's smile grew wider, "You better speak louder, so more people from Wutong Mountain can come. I'm hungry, and it'll be a good show for the Thousand Demons Cave to see if I have the qualifications to guard this eighth cave."
"Or the third cave?"
He glanced at the white horse, his golden eyes sharp, and his smile faded as he walked away.
His figure became increasingly lonely.
The White Hawk Demon Sovereign silently watched him walk away.
"Do you really want to kill it? I mean, before today," the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign asked suspiciously.
"No mistake," Bai Hong's pride wouldn't allow it to lie about such a matter.
"What's the evidence?" The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign's eyes widened.
"No evidence. Xuan Ming is dead, and it's still alive. I don't believe it, of course. Maybe it's because I don't like its temper either." Bai Hong glanced sideways.
"But..."
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign instinctively refuted that day, it was clear that the other party had distinguished between true and false.
But it didn't say it.
The innate distrust in her heart didn't need a reason... In other words, if you want to add to the crime, there's no need for an excuse.
She spat, "You're not afraid of scattering people's hearts."
A demon that can distinguish between true and false is inherently resisted by other demon sovereigns, after all, who doesn't have a little thought.
Now it's added its own bias.
"..."
During the conversation between the two.
The five pairs of eyes in the sky cautiously restrained their emotions and quietly dispersed...
