LiuâEr fled extremely quickly, so fast that Hu Li couldnât stop him in time.
Besides, he didnât want to stop him.
He had only wanted to vent his anger, not do anything to LiuâEr.
After seeing LiuâEr disappear, Hu Li slowly turned around and looked at the bow-wielding man several kilometers away.
!!
The gazes of the man and the demon collided in the air, and there seemed to be sparks shooting.
âYao Qing!â Hu Li gritted his teeth.
Although the person in front of him looked completely different from Yao Qing, the moment he saw him, Hu Li knew that this person was the previous Yao Qing!
He gritted his teeth in hatred. When he thought about how he had been played by the fake Yao Qing for so many days, he felt boundless anger.
âDemon King Hu Li, long time no see. How have you been?â Zhou Shu cupped his hands slightly from several kilometers away.
âHow dare you come see me?!â Hu Li roared. âIâm going to kill you!â
A towering aura erupted from his body, and his killing intent was almost tangible.
Zhou Shuâs expression didnât change as he smiled. âIs this how you treat your benefactor, Demon King Hu Li?â
âYouâre not my benefactor! Youâre a liar! Youâre not Yao Qing at all!â Hu Li walked toward Zhou Shu step by step, his fists clenched tightly.
Zhou Shu shook his head slightly and continued, âIs it that important whether Iâm Yao Qing or not? Iâm the one who helped you break through to the Demon King realm. Iâm the one who forged the Demon King Palace for you.
âAs a Demon King, are you going to deceive yourself like this?
âItâs fine if you donât want to admit it. I didnât help you for any repayment.
âI helped you because I think youâre a good fellow. I only helped you because I thought you were pitiful.
âYouâre capable of more things. You shouldnât be just a small henchman under Demon King Ao.â
Zhou Shuâs words made Hu Li stop in his tracks, and a special feeling surged in his heart.
Hu Li was uncultured. Otherwise, a phrase would definitely appear in his mind: A gentleman dies for his bosom friend!
Although Hu Li didnât know this, the feeling still made the killing intent on his body dissipate.
He stopped and stood in the air, looking at Zhou Shu with a complicated expression.
After a long time, Hu Li gritted his teeth and said, âWho the hell are you?â
The corners of Zhou Shuâs mouth curled up slightly. âLetâs get to know each other again. Iâm Zhou Shu from the Ten Nations Continent.â
Hu Liâs pupils constricted. âAre you the man who killed Yao Lian and led the human army into the Demon Realm?â
Before breaking through to become a Demon King, he had led an army of a million demonic beasts to encircle the human army that had entered the Demon Realm.
Unexpectedly, the army he had been besieging was beside him.
Zhou Shu nodded. âYou can think of it that way.â
âVery well!â Hu Li gritted his teeth. âI wanted to kill you. Since youâve come knocking on my door, I can complete the unfinished business!â
âHahaâ¦â Zhou Shu suddenly laughed. He looked at Hu Li and said with interest, âDemon King Hu Li, why deceive othersâno, deceive yourself? You donât have any killing intent at all, so how will you kill us?â
Anger flashed across Hu Liâs face. âDo you think Iâm joking?â
âOf course not.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âHowever, Demon King Hu Li, youâre no longer a vassal of Demon King Ao. Thereâs naturally no need to continue what you did before. Besides, Iâm afraid youâre no match for me in your current state.â
âHmph! Iâm injured this time and am indeed not your match. Youâre lucky. Iâll let you off this time,â Hu Li said stubbornly.
Zhou Shu couldnât help laughing. He didnât expect Hu Li to have such thoughts.
He smiled and said, âDemon King Hu Li, thereâs no personal grudge between us. The war between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent has little to do with you.
âNow that Demon King Ao and the others have treated you like that, why are you still reluctant to leave the Demon Realm?â
âYou want me to betray the Demon Realm?â Hu Liâs eyes lit up coldly. âGet lost with your men before I change my mind. Otherwise, I canât guarantee I wonât attack you!â
âBetray the Demon Realm?â Zhou Shu wasnât nervous at all. He shook his head and said, âThis is not a betrayal. The Demon Realm is not Demon King Aoâs Demon Realm, nor is it Demon King LiuâErâs Demon Realm, nor Demon King Tiangouâs Demon Realm. The Demon Realm belongs to all demonic beasts.
âFor their own selfish desires, they ignored the lives of a million demonic beasts and forcefully invaded the Ten Nations Continent.
âI want to ask you, Demon King Hu Li. What benefits will it bring to you demonic beasts to invade the Ten Nations Continent?
âIn an avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. In a war, which demonic beast can escape? Even if you occupy the Ten Nations Continent, how many demonic beasts will die? And how many benefits will you all be able to obtain?â
âTo put it bluntly, it wonât do you any good if you occupy the Ten Nations Continent, right? The Demon Realm is already big enough. Are you afraid that your territory wonât be enough?â
A trace of hesitation flashed across Hu Liâs face. He couldnât respond to most of Zhou Shuâs words, but he understood something. Invading the Ten Nations Continent didnât seem to be beneficial to him.
As Zhou Shu said, the Demon Realm was vast. If he wanted territory, there were plenty of places. He didnât need to invade the Ten Nations Continent at all.
He had never thought carefully about why they were invading the Ten Nations Continent.
In any case, the Demon Kings had ordered an attack on the Ten Nations Continent, so they would just do as they were told.
Now that Zhou Shu said this, Hu Li suddenly realized that invading the Ten Nations Continent didnât seem to be really beneficial to him.
Killing and pillaging?
There was no sense of achievement in killing some weaklings. As for plundering, the gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons of the human race were useless to him.
