But thatâs impossible! Iâve already prepared so, so long for today! How could the Dragon King have any skills that I donât know about?
Hmph, heâs definitely just acting tough to scare me.
Ao Yong took a step forward and let his aura run wild. âEver since I was little, you were never all that much stronger than me. But because you were chosen as the Dragon King, you had endless resources poured into you. Since my talent isnât any worse than yours, Iâll just use a hundred times more effort to surpass you.
âDo you know how I spent all these years? I only slept three hours at most every day. As for every other waking moment, if it wasn't spent on cultivation, then it was spent on more cultivation. And what about you? You only knew how to spend your time in drinking and pleasure, using all your energy struggling on the bellies of women. With this squandering of your energy and the Dragon Devil Binding Formation, you have absolutely no chance of winning against me!â
As he spoke, tears even glimmered in the corners of his eyes. After all these years of living a life more tiring than that of a dog, he was now finally going to reap the benefits. Meanwhile, his aura broke through to the earth immortal rank. It turned out he had been hiding his cultivation all this time!
When he sensed the familiar aura, Ka Qier thought to himself, No wonder I didnât discover him by the Dragon Kingâs private palace last time. So he was an earth immortal!
I was going to say⦠Even if my attention was focused on the fake Dragon King and Mermaid Queen inside, thereâs no way I would be that careless.
Shang Liuyu also started to panic. She wanted to warn Ao Yong that they were facing a great enemy and that now wasnât the time for internal strife.
However, Zu An secretly stopped her. Ao Yong had schemed for so long and had even bought out many elders of the Dragon race. With so much effort being put into play, there was no going back. He was actually starting to feel a bit of respect for Ao Yong. This fellow was indeed a bit more deserving of respect compared to the Dragon King. Just what was it that had motivated him to bide his time for revenge?
Was it Shang Hongyu?
No, he mentioned things from when he was still young. Shang Hongyu still hadnât married the Dragon King then.
It must be that his mind has become warped from always being inferior to his brother. He always wanted to surpass his brother and steal his big brotherâs things to prove his own superiority, including seizing his brotherâs woman!
Shang Hongyu was nothing more than a focus of Ao Yong's warped emotions; it wasnât that he truly loved her. Unfortunately, he had no idea what he was facing right now. Everything he had done until now was doomed to be completely meaningless.
Zu An said to Ka Qier, âGeneral Ka Qier, Iâll be leaving these annoying fellows to you.â
He wanted to use this chance to see just what kind of methods these Hell creatures had.
Ka Qierâs expression changed slightly. He gave Ao Yong a look, then looked at the Shadowhorror Devilâs group, who found the situation really amusing. He said grimly, âLet's attack together and eliminate them swiftly so they wonât get in the way of our plans.â
The Shadowhorror Devilâs group snickered and said, âSince the Dragon King selected you, weâll just be troubling you to handle it.â
Ao Yong frowned. âYou're so confident in defeating me with trash like this? Brother king, brother king, I thought that you would at least have some courage, but youâre too scared to even face me and are just throwing these petty soldiers at me. It truly leaves me filled with contempt.â
Ka Qier was speechless.
The alien monsters who had been laughing just a moment beore froze up too. The Bloodthirst Crocodile was furious. âF*ck! This guy is just too arrogant. Perfect timing. This big mouth of mine has already been waiting patiently to be fed for a long time.â
The Firedevil Sea Beast also stretched out his claws. âI didnât feel like joining in before, but this kid is courting his own death. You have no one to blame but yourself.â
The Shadowhorror Devil said coldly, âAgreed!â
When he saw their unkind expressions, Ao Yong could sense that things didnât seem right. But he didnât really understand where the problem lay. He was clearly really strong; after all, he was an incredibly powerful earth immortal. Furthermore, the other side was being affected by the Dragon Devil Binding Formation and couldn't even bring out their full strength, so there was absolutely no reason for him to be scared! He immediately felt much more confidence and said, âHaha, you four trash can just come at me together then.â
Zu An and Shang Liuyuâs expressions grew a bit strange. They really didnât know whether to play along with Ao Yong or laugh at his ignorance.
âYouâre courting death!â The Shadowhorror Devil could no longer hold in his rage. His aura surged powerfully, and a visible domain extended in all directions. Ao Yongâs subordinates immediately sensed an extreme aura of dread. Their bodies trembled all over and weakened, and they couldn't even lift a finger.
The Bloodthirst Crocodile quickly rushed over. Sharp claws extended from his hand, and an Ocean race elder was instantly sliced in half, his innards spreading all across the ground. His other handâs claws stabbed into the chest of another cultivator and directly ripped out a still-beating heart. He then shoved it into his mouth. The sound of blood and flesh being chewed between teeth really was horrifying to experience.
The Firedevil Sea Beast said with a cold snort, âYour way of eating is always so disgusting! How can you do that in public?â
He suddenly appeared behind one of Ao Yongâs generals. A thin flame ignited on his finger, then sliced open the general's brain like a fine surgical knife. Once it was opened, he moved in and sucked out all of the contents. He said, âMmm, a feast like this is much more elegant!â
All of this happened in an instant. These powerful cultivators were already devoured in such cruel ways before anyone could even react.
Shang Liuyu couldn't help but lean a bit closer to Zu An. In the end, monsters really were monsters⦠This kind of scene really was a bit too disturbing to watch. Zu An gently patted her hand to comfort her. When she felt his handâs warmth, Shang Liuyuâs expression finally eased a bit.
Ao Yong was shocked and furious. âJust what kind of blasted things are you?!â
After all, he too had earth immortal cultivation. He instinctively rushed at the three. Just then, however, Ka Qier appeared in front of him.
âDie!â Ao Yong yelled, unleashing a punch toward Ka Qier. It was because of this guy that his wonderful plans had all been ruined at the Dragon Kingâs private palace, which was why he could only watch as his beloved woman was ravaged by another man. He'd had too many misgivings back then and couldn't go all out. He didnât need to hide anymore now.
But who would have thought that his fist, which should have blasted Ka Qier to smithereens, would be easily blocked?!
Ka Qier grinned. His mouth opened wide, the corners of his lips reaching all the way to his ears. It was as if his skin wasnât made from one piece. His mouth stretched even wider as he bit down on Ao Yongâs wrist.
âAhhh!â Ao Yong rushed backward in alarm while screaming bitterly. His arm was dripping with blood.
Ka Qier chewed on the hand he had bitten off, filling the air with the sounds of crunching bone.
Once one reached the earth immortal rank, oneâs body would display an incredible degree of toughness. And yet, Ao Yong's hand had been bitten right off, and his whole fist was chewed to pieces. Just how terrifying was that?!
Soon after, Ka Qier swallowed all of the flesh and bones. He said, âBear paws are famous for being delicious, but in my opinion, they're far from a dragon palm.â
âYou⦠Just who are you people?!â Ao Yong was now truly terrified. All of this was completely beyond his wildest imaginations.
That guyâs subordinates were all so cruel and savage! They were like tigers among a flock of sheep as they cruelly slaughtered his subordinates.
Something isnât freaking right here!
I was clearly the one who meticulously schemed against them and even prepared the Dragon Devil Binding Formation. These guys should be the ones being one-sidedly slaughtered, so why are things completely reversed?
Wait, why isnât the formation affecting them at all?
Ka Qier grinned. Pieces of flesh were still dangling from his teeth as he said, âWe arenât people.â
When he saw Ka Qierâs bloody teeth, Ao Yong felt as if he was about to go mad. He immediately looked at Zu An. âBrother king, hurry and help me! Weâll defeat these monsters together!â
Shang Liuyu couldn't help but give Zu An a look. She was hesitant too. Even though Ao Yong was seriously injured, he was an earth immortal and had some fighting strength. If they allied together, it would be much better than facing these aliens and Hell creatures alone.
But Zu An remained completely calm. He replied mockingly, âWerenât you trying to steal my position just a moment ago? Why did you suddenly remember this brother king of yours?â
