571 The Demon King’s Four Ancient Formations (2/2)
Then, a ray of green light dispersed outwards from the Demonic Man like a ripple spreading out in all directions.
”Slash!”
The soldier from the Dragon Protection Squad standing at the front of the vanguard was immediately severed into two, not leaving any room for resistance.
”Quick, block it!” Upon witnessing this sight, Eunuch Wei did not hesitate any longer and immediately screamed at the two squads.
”Slash! Slash!”
”...”
Amidst the uproar, tens of soldiers from the Dragon Protection Squad toppled over one after the other.
They were the most elite force of the Great Xia Empire. Every single person in the squad possessed a level of strength minimally above the Supernatural State. But under the effects of the green light, their resistances were completely nulled.
A golden ray of light then shot up.
Golden mist blanketed the skies as a figure leapt up, delivering a swift punch into the green glow.
”Boom!”
The golden light was immediately blown backwards.
And at the same time, another golden ray of light propelled upwards. Following that, clouds and mist rose into the air. A golden dragon bolted through the clouds as two demonic streams of crimson light shot down, colliding with the green glow.
”Boom!”
The dark green light vibrated, but still penetrated through the bodies of several soldiers in the Dragon Protection Squad, and they disappeared like dust into the darkness of the night.
”Boom!”
The ceiling of the Throne Room crashed down onto the ground, as the four walls quickly followed. An enormous crater appeared on the ground with the Demonic Man in the centre.
The magnificent Throne Room, once the symbol of the Great Xia Empire's unrivalled might, has been reduced to dust!
And this was all due to a single attack from the Demonic Man. How ridiculous is that?
Shivers inevitably ran down the backs the remaining soldiers from the Dragon Protection Squad and Imperial Ranger Squad guarding their emperor as they stared at the Demonic Man standing by the Near-Life Gate.
”Blurt!” Lin Mubai's body jolted as he expectorated a mouthful of blood violently. He was already wounded, and his condition deteriorated after using the Green Dragon Eye.
Chen Feihua, who was standing beside Lin Mubai as she witnessed this scene, instinctively support Lin Mubai's arm. But such an ordinary action caused dense sweat droplets to ooze from her forehead. Her chest rose up and down as her face flushed extremely red.
”Blurt!” Chen Feihua also expelled a mouthful of blood.
A single blow from the Demonic Man caused the Throne Room to collapse, and dealt severe injuries on the Emperor Lin Mubai who possessed the Green Dragon Eye as well as his concubine Chen Fei Hua.
”Your Majesty!”
”Lady Hua Fei!”
Several guards from the Dragon Protection Squad immediately stepped forward. Each of their gazes wavered in anxiety.
The Crown Prince Lin Tianrong gazed at the crumbled remains of the Throne Room and the Demonic Man still standing beside the Near-Life Gate. He was completely petrified.
”A De … Demon King?!” Lin Tianrong's eyes were wide open. Naturally, he knew that anyone capable of emerging from the Near-Life Gate could not possibly be human.
However, his opponent was in the form of a human! That means …
He can only be a demon!
He belonged to race that was rarely documented even in the Great Xia Empire's literature, a race that evolved from the beasts, a race that possessed intelligence that rivalled that of humans, and a race that wielded bodies capable of further training like humans.
They concealed themselves amidst the mountains and rivers, feasting on the richness of nature and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. They were an existence that surpassed all types of beasts.
And the Demonic Man standing before him was evidently no ordinary demon.
He boasted absolute fluency in his linguistic abilities and was dressed in such an immaculate manner, and a single blow from him could destroy the sturdy Throne Room.
Such power …
”A Demon King!”
After this thought flashed through the Crown Prince's mind, he was completely dazed. He did predict that Qian Wu would produce some sort of trick, but he definitely did not imagine Qian Wu summoning a Demon King from the Near-Life Gate.
And a Demon King with a country under his rule, no less.
How could Qian Wu possibly be sharing any benefits with him?
A contract?
Memories of him signing the contract with Qian Wu quickly surfaced in Lin Tianrong's mind, recalling the generosity that Qian Wu showed when distributing his loot.
Back then, Lin Tianrong thought that Qian Wu did not know how to negotiate.
But now … he finally understood.
It was not because Qian Wu was unsure on how to negotiate; he did not intend to negotiate at all. That was because he never wanted any of the conditions stated on the contract; he wanted the entire Great Xia Empire.
”What's going on? How could the Throne Room … What … is that?!” A familiar voice sounded behind the dazed Crown Prince, his legs rooted to the ground.
