Bang!
Zhou Shu rolled a few times in the air and crashed onto the ground. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He cursed in his heart as he saw two powerful auras flying toward him from the top of the mountain.
With a slight frown, he turned to run.
When Demon King Ao suddenly attacked, Zhou Shu almost thought that his identity had been exposed.
Just as he was about to unleash his strength, he felt that Demon King Aoâs attack didnât match his strength as the number one Demon King in the Demon Realm.
Therefore, he forcefully controlled his urge to fight back and took the blow from Demon King Ao.
Furthermore, in order to avoid being exposed, he even suppressed the Golden Bell Shield Technique, afraid that Demon King Ao would see through him.
Otherwise, with the power of Demon King Aoâs attack, he wouldnât have been able to hurt Zhou Shu at all.
However, Yao Qing was only a first-rank demonic beast. Even if Demon King Ao held back, he would still be injured.
âYao Qing has disobeyed Demon King Ao. I have received orders to kill him. All demonic beasts, cooperate fully!â
Zhou Shu had run dozens of kilometers when a loud shout suddenly came from behind.
He rolled his eyes. The two Demon Kings behind him chased slowly, and it had been a while before they shouted.
This was clearly giving him time to escape. Otherwise, with so many powerful demonic beasts on Hu Liâs mountain, how could Yao Qing escape?
Not to mention anything else, if these two Demon Kings went all out chasing, they would have long caught up to Yao Qing.
Zhou Shu was not using his full strength now. He maintained his fleeing speed at the level of a first-rank demonic beast.
By now, he understood their plan.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They casually found an excuse to beat Yao Qing out and chased after him, trying to use Yao Qing to lure the hidden human expert out.
The reason they did this was actually related to that bastard Emperor Wei Wu!
Zhou Shu had previously eavesdropped on Demon King Aoâs explanation to Hu Li. He had always thought that Emperor Wei Wu was the one who discovered the Demon Ancestorâs secret chamber. It turned out that Demon King Ao was behind it.
It seems that Demon King Ao wasnât that smart. He had been tricked by Emperor Wei Wu, and now, he had come up with this damn idea.
It seemed that these demonic beasts had become a little stupid because they were born too powerful. Or rather, they couldnât be bothered to use their brainsâ¦
While cursing in his heart, Zhou Shu didnât stop moving.
Behind him, Tiangou and LiuâEr chased after him unhurriedly a hundred kilometers away. Occasionally, they would approach Zhou Shu and attack him, then they would distance themselves like cats chasing mice.
They didnât take chasing after a first-rank demonic beast to heart at all. To them, chasing was just for show. They couldnât kill Yao Qing right away.
â¦
In Hu Liâs territory, Hu Li panted heavily and looked at Demon King Ao with wide eyes. âDemon King Ao, today is my advancement ceremony. Is this how you congratulate me?â
âHu Li, look at the big picture,â Demon King Ao said indifferently. âYouâve lost some face this time. Weâll give you some benefits later.â
The other Demon Kings agreed deeply.?Heâs just a new Demon King. We are all here for his advancement ceremony. Isnât this giving him enough face?
Heâs actually giving us attitude over a mere first-rank demonic beast. How ridiculous!
âHahaâ¦â Hu Li suddenly laughed.
He laughed for a dozen breaths, almost to the point of tears.
âDemon King Ao! I, Hu Li, have served you for hundreds of years and have always treated you as my idol. You are the number one Demon King in the Demon Realm. Your strength is heaven-defying, and you are invincible!
âBut itâs gone today! Never again!â
Hu Li suppressed his roar and said, âYao Qing is my benefactor! Without him, I wouldnât be where I am today! I promised to protect him. You did this in front of all the demonic beasts at my advancement ceremony. If I, Hu Li, accept it peacefully, I wonât have any face left in the future!â
âHu Li, are you crazy?â Demon King Ao frowned. âSit down!â
âWhy should I listen to you!â Hu Li shouted. âI, Hu Li, the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm, am not Yao Li anymore! You have no right to criticize me anymore!â
âBastard!â a Demon King berated. âHu Li, do you think you have the right to speak to Demon King Ao like that just because youâve become a Demon King?
âHurry up and apologize and hand over your Demon King Palace!â the Demon King scolded Hu Li angrily.
Hu Li glanced at him sideways and sneered. âDo you think youâre worthy of being called a Demon King?
âI, Hu Li, disdain to be associated with you!
âWe have nothing to lose. If weâre not convinced, weâll fight! Demon King Ao, Iâm not convinced! Today, I want to challenge you!â
Boom!
Hu Liâs body emitted a dazzling light.
His aura rose steadily. âDamn you for luring the snake out of its hole. You bastards, instead of thinking about how to deal with the enemy, you used the life of a first-rank demonic beast to play tricks here. Do you think youâre human?â
âHu Li, are you crazy?â a few Demon Kings berated.
Demon King Aoâs expression was gloomy. He stared at Hu Li and said coldly, âOn account that you served me for a hundred years, Iâll give you a chance. Take back what you just said and sit down obediently. I can pretend that nothing happened.â
âYou can pretend nothing happened, but I canât. If you donât dare to fight, Iâm leaving. I still have to protect Yao Qing!â
