Chapter 164: The Devil King Arrives (Part 163)
It was rare to see an interesting human being, so Feng Xiu didn't want to kill him all.
The relationship between the demons and humans is very complicated.
Both he and his second brother, the Moon Demon Agares, had human wives. It’s just that their human wives chose different paths. Otherwise, the one who was on good terms with Yue Ye should not be his second daughter, but his eldest daughter Bai Yue.
He understood the hatred humans had for the demons.
But there is no way, they have to live.
The human race believed that they were foreign invaders and were unwilling to share various resources with them. However, they were stronger, so a very simple truth emerged: if you don’t give, then I will rob them.
Humans need to eat, and they need to eat too.
Humans need to drink water, and they also need to drink water.
Resources are not infinite.
So, there is no right or wrong.
But there are always some ignorant people who mistake the kindness and generosity of the strong for weaknesses.
“Don’t believe his deception!” After confirming that Ye Qingcang was not a spy of the demon clan, Sheng Yue keenly discovered the problem from the conversation between Feng Xiu and Ye Qingcang. At this critical juncture when Yang Haohan could not ascend to the throne of the Divine Seal, he could only hope that Ye Qingcang would stand up and share some of the pressure: “No matter what, Cai’er has the blood of my Sheng family flowing in her body. Cai’er also said before that the day she kills the Demon God Emperor will be the day she breaks off all ties with my Sheng family. The Demon God Emperor will never give her the opportunity to grow. On the contrary, if you stand on our side, Cai…”
"That's enough." Ye Qingcang interrupted Sheng Yue's dissuasion and revealed Sheng Yue's thoughts: "Cai'er does have the blood of your Sheng Family flowing in her body, but you cannot represent the Sheng Family yet. Moreover, if Cai'er doesn't want to, I can also give her a blood transfusion or even a body... Put away those thoughts that you can't put on the table. You have repeatedly pointed out that Cai'er wants to kill the Demon God Emperor to cut off all ties with your Sheng Family. In fact, you are reminding me and this Lord Feng Xiu: who is the enemy and who is the friend, do you believe the words of your friends or the words of your enemies? In fact, there are no so-called enemies and friends at all. You just want to resolve the hatred between Cai'er and the Sheng Family by abandoning Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu, and use this relationship to tie me to your chariot."
Feng Xiu's eyes lit up slightly.
There was more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Ye Qingcang.
The last time I appreciated him was when I appreciated Ye Qingcang’s talent.
This time, the appreciation is of Ye Qingcang’s mind.
Military force determines the lower limit, and intelligence determines the upper limit.
Ye Qingcang already has everything a strong man should have. All he lacks is time. If Ye Qingcang didn't have a partner, he would be happy to let his second daughter meet Ye Qingcang.
Moreover, if his guess was correct, Ye Qingcang must have other plans.
Sheng Yue didn't know what Feng Xiu was thinking, nor did he know what Ye Qingcang was thinking. He just didn't expect that his thoughts were revealed by Ye Qingcang. In the blink of an eye, he went from being active to being passive: "Your Excellency misunderstood. I didn't mean to tie you to the chariot. I just wanted to discuss something with you... See if we can reach some consensus on this and satisfy both of us."
Different from Yang Haohan and others.
Shengyue and Sanshui had heard Ye Qingcang explain the Demon King's strength with their own ears.
Before realizing the difference in strength, Sheng Yue's attitude had always been skeptical, but after realizing the difference in strength, Sheng Yue did not think that the current Exorcist Gate could defeat the Demon King.
The facts are clear.
After that, of course, I had to find a solution.
Among all the methods, one thing that cannot be avoided is Ye Qingcang.
Only Ye Qingcang knew how powerful the Demon King was.
Only Ye Qingcang knows the details of the demon clan.
Only Ye Qingcang can save the Exorcist Pass.
Knowing a lot does not necessarily mean being strong, but a strong person definitely knows a lot. Judging from Ye Qingcang's record of instantly defeating the Warrior Temple's Master Qiu Yonghao, it can be said that he is the only person present who can communicate with the Demon King.
So, even if your little thoughts are exposed, it doesn’t matter.
“In exchange for all of Sheng Caier’s expenses over the past fourteen years… please, on behalf of our six major holy temples, negotiate with the Demon God Emperor!” Sheng Yue offered a bargaining chip: “If you are willing, all the expenses over the past fourteen years, including the Samsara Soul Furnace and the Sword of Reincarnation, will be written off. Even if Sheng Caier and my Holy Family sever ties in the future, Sheng Caier will not have to bear these expenses!”
"I will pay my debt myself." Sheng Caier looked at Ye Qingcang firmly: "Don't believe what they say, believe me, okay?"
"Of course I believe you." Ye Qingcang tapped Sheng Cai'er's forehead, and in Sheng Yue's disappointed eyes, he gave an answer that Sheng Yue didn't want to hear: "Sorry, but you all heard it, too."
"I see." Feng Xiu suddenly laughed, and his eyes swept over Yang Haohan and the others one by one, taking in Yang Haohan's confusion, Lin Chen's doubts, Sanshui's loss, Shengyue's despair, and other emotions. Finally, he looked at Ye Qingcang, looked at his calm black eyes, and hinted meaningfully: "Do you need my help? It's just a little help?"
"I don't like to owe favors to others." Ye Qingcang raised his eyelids: "If you are willing to help, I can tell you the whereabouts of the God of Punishment."
Feng Xiu's emotions fluctuated visibly.
The expression that was as gentle as spring breeze gradually turned serious.
Without waiting for Yang Haohan and others to understand.
Feng Xiu continued to take a step down.
The already enormous pressure instantly doubled.
"Now, the time left for you to choose is getting shorter and shorter." Ye Qingcang knew that Feng Xiu had already given the answer with his actions, so if he urged her a little, Sheng Yue's bottom line would definitely be broken again: "Sir Sheng Yue, are you really not going to change the terms of the deal?"
“You…you guys…” Now, it’s almost clear what’s going on. Lan Yanyu may not understand, but Shengyue, Sanshui and others can definitely see it. That’s why Shengyue is so depressed that he wants to vomit blood: “If you are still dissatisfied with the content of the transaction just now, you can just say it directly. Why use this method… Your appetite and ambition are too big!”
Feng Xiu did Ye Qingcang a favor.
It became a steel knife on their necks.
Ye Qingcang is the only one who can stop the steel knife from falling.
It is equivalent to a unique life-saving medicine.
Love or not, forget it if you don’t want it, you deserve to die.
The most poisonous thing is: Ye Qingcang does not make an offer himself, but lets them think about it again. He lets them guess. Even if they guess Ye Qingcang's psychological price correctly, Ye Qingcang can still bite them hard. If they guess incorrectly, Ye Qingcang will continue to repeat the above operations and let the Demon King put pressure on them until the psychological price is reached, or even worse, until they are squeezed dry!
My previous tolerance towards them, towards Lan Yanyu and Sheng Lingxin, now seemed to be just the most basic respect for a life. Now, just a few words could kill them!
"Then don't ask him for help!"
Yang Haohan can't stand being threatened by others.
He had not yet realized the difference between the ninth level and the ninth level, and did not think that these ninth level transcendents present could not defeat the Demon God Emperor. All he realized was that he himself could not defeat the Demon God Emperor.
So, Yang Haohan drew out his knight's sword.
He never regarded Ye Qingcang as an ally, nor did he ever regard Ye Qingcang as an enemy. Because of this, he would never compromise with Ye Qingcang.
pity……
"You have no self-awareness at all." Feng Xiu's eyes were filled with pity, which deeply hurt the hearts of Yang Haohan and others. However, in the face of absolute strength, Yang Haohan, who was covered in golden light, could only be knocked away by a finger and fell into the city, plowing a thousand-meter-long gully: "Resistance with a chance of turning the tables is a spirit worthy of praise. Resistance without a chance of turning the tables is just meaningless resistance."
"Let's go together!" Lin Chen said.
There is no need to talk about morality when dealing with the Demon Emperor.
The Holy Sun Domain was opened, and a sea of fire surged for a hundred meters.
Accompanied by a loud dragon roar, a mighty and sacred fire dragon leaped out from the sea of fire, lifelike, and bit Feng Xiu who was standing in the air.
At the same time, Mo Wu, the chief elder of the Magic Temple, also opened his own domain. The dark quagmire spread from under his feet in all directions. In just a moment, it soaked all the walls of the Exorcist Pass and rushed into the city at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The crystal ball embedded in the staff was misty.
A huge magic circle unfolds.
All the fixed magic arrays set up on the city wall of Exorcism Pass were taken over.
"Ninth-level forbidden spell - Great Dark Sky!"
This level 9 dark magician recited the name of the forbidden spell with great effort.
Even though he was chanting the spell very quickly.
In just three seconds, he completed the mobilization of spiritual power and the release of the forbidden spell.
But in Ye Qingcang's eyes.
It’s also in Feng Xiu’s eyes.
Still as slow as a turtle.
Regardless of whether it is Ye Qingcang or Feng Xiu, they are the kind of people who will never show mercy once they start fighting, even if it is a counterattack in self-defense.
"Too slow..." Ye Qingcang said this and took a step back.
"Too slow..." These were Feng Xiu's last words after he tore apart a hundreds-meter-long fire dragon in an instant, killed Lin Chen with one blow, and descended in front of Mo Wu at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye. He raised his hand to press down on Mo Wu's head, and looked at Mo Wu's trembling and contracted pupils. Before the magic power was swallowed and spit out, it was also the last mercy given to Mo Wu, the God of Law!
It was not until this moment that Sanshui summoned his own natal summoned beast and other ninth-level summoned beasts, Qiu Yonghao took out his warrior sword, and Yang Haohan unfolded his divine throne again!
There was dead silence on the city wall of Exorcist Pass!
A level one ninth order fire mage and a level two ninth order dark mage could not even survive for a single moment in front of the Demon God Huang Fengxiu, who was limited by his human spiritual power of 990,000 points!
You have to swing a knife to kill a chicken!
Killing a god of law is easier than killing a chicken!
"Too fast..." Sheng Yue, the fastest of all the ninth-level transcendents present, had despair in his eyes. The speed of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu was so fast that even he, a ninth-level assassin, could not see his shadow. Even if there was a ninth-level Punishment Knight present, even if the Punishment Knight's innate skill Lock could allow the attack to automatically follow Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, but as a ninth-level assassin, he knew very well that if Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, who had such a speed, really wanted to cut the back row, he could not be restricted by a Lock skill at all.
It takes time for both mages and summoners to enlarge.
In fact, it takes time for the assassin to enlarge.
It just looks like it's instantaneous.
The speed of the Demon King was faster than their vision and reaction speed.
Retribution Paladin's lock?
Before you can release it, your head will fall to the ground!
Guardian Knight's protection?
I'll finish cutting the back row before you release!
When an object moves faster than a person's visual capture speed, it no longer matters whether it is the speed of light because one cannot react in time.
And this is Ye Qingcang’s warning!
You can reject my suggestion!
However, there is a price to pay for rejection!
Right now, you have only lost two Gods of Magic, but if you continue to reject my advice, it will be more than just two Gods of Magic who will die!
Shengyue tightly grasped the dagger in his hand.
He was clearly in a guarded posture.
But his body was tense and he dared not move.
Compared with Shengyue, Sanshui, the deputy hall master of the Soul Temple, and Ruoshui, the deputy hall master of the Priest Temple, the two in the back row who had almost no ability to protect themselves, silently let down their guard.
In team battles, assassins often need to be strong in two points.
The first point is to cut off the back row of places.
The second point is to keep an eye on the enemy assassin.
Therefore, after Yang Haohan, the guardian knight, was knocked away by the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu's finger, if even Shengyue could not intercept the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, the two of them in the back row whose speed was not as fast as Shengyue had no time to resist. It was better for them to surrender, observe the situation on the scene, find a suitable opportunity, and then join forces with their teammates to fight.
"At the cost of Sheng Cai'er and my Sheng Family... no longer having any relationship!" Sheng Yue spoke word by word, and every word made his heart throb with pain. The perfect plan of exchanging Lan Yanyu and Sheng Lingxin for Sheng Cai'er's return was shattered by Ye Qingcang's words. What was even more humiliating was that he had to follow Ye Qingcang's ideas and destroy the plan with his own hands: "Your Excellency, please represent our six major temples and negotiate with the Demon God Emperor... If the God of Heaven's Punishment is within the territory of our human race, we are willing to hand over the God of Heaven's Punishment in exchange for peace!"
"Shengyue, are you fucking crazy?" Yang Haohan yelled at Shengyue.
"Then tell me, what should I do!" Sheng Yue stood on the city wall, gazing at Yang Haohan, the leader of the Temple Alliance, who was standing at the end of the thousand-meter-long ravine ruins and had a different opinion from him. With one sentence, Yang Haohan, who was about to say something else, was choked: "Either bow your head, or everyone in the city will die... You know how much power is stored in this exorcism pass under our feet. You can die, and I can die too, but if Sanshui and the others are dead, how many ninth-level people can the human race still produce? What about the younger generation? If you are asked to choose, what can you choose?"
Death is a small matter.
The overall situation is important.
The death of a ninth-level being is a devastating loss to the human race.
But what if a batch of them died?
Before, there were seven ninth-level people present.
The title-level demon hunting group is not far away.
Including those who can provide support.
There are probably only fifteen ninth levels.
There are more than fifteen demons outside the city!
The Moon Demon and the Star Demon did not move, and there are still three demons in the top ten!
There are less than thirty ninth-level humans in the human race.
More than half of them were killed in the exorcism.
There is no point for the human race to resist.
"This is what I want to teach you." Ye Qingcang rubbed Sheng Cai'er's little head. Since the moment he descended to the God Seal Plane, after talking on the phone with Ye Lingling and the other three, he has been quietly pushing this matter forward. If Lan Yanyu can correct her mistakes and Sheng Cai'er is willing to forgive her, he will use this matter to strengthen Sheng Cai'er's status. If Lan Yanyu does not admit her mistakes and Sheng Cai'er is unwilling to forgive her, he will use this matter to help Sheng Cai'er get rid of all troubles, because there are only two choices left for Sheng Yue and the others, either let Sheng Cai'er go and let him take action, or be completely wiped out by the Demon God Emperor: "Hit the snake at its weakest point. You are in the overall situation, not just a part of it!"
