Chapter 206 - Number Ten

The tension between the Huyans and the Demon’s alliance was worsening, neither side was happy with the other’s proposal.

“Okay! Fine, I’ll hand it over!” Huyan Haoze’s face cringed, unwillingly forced each word out of his mouth. ‘I have to give to earn. Over time, the Drakehead is more valuable than all the treasures put together. I am making the right decision…’

‘I can still explain the situation to the elder’s council, I am not weak…’ Although trying his best to justify his act, Huyan Haoze was aware that he was in denial.

“You two! I require a heavenly oath for my safety!” He looked at the marks in his head then back to the demons and beasts.

“Sure!”

“We will not lay a finger on the Drakehead if you hand over the two sacred marks!” The Skeleton Demon King and the Quadwing Barren Beast made the hand seal and a symbol appeared on the back of each of their right arms.

“Okay. Take them!” Huyan Haoze wrapped the marks with his Qi and threw them over.

‘You idiot!’ Ye Wei thought, stared at the package as it flew across the air.

“It wasn’t that hard now, was it?” The Demon King clenched tight onto the marks and began to laugh hysterically. He turned his head to the side and said. “Wings, you know what to do.”

“Children, stomp this place!” The Quadwing Barren Beast cried with open eyes, his smile revealed his razor-sharp fangs. He had been waiting to give the order since the Demon King came up with the plan.

“What do you mean!?” Huyan Haoze stared at the rampaging pact and screamed. “Stop Them!”

“Kill them if they get in the way.” The beasts’ leader howled as he ordered.

“Drop your wishful thinking and don’t be an idiot.” The Demon King chuckled and said in a ruthless tone. “I didn’t specify who we are and we don’t have fingers, we have paws and claws.”

“By the way, I didn’t say anything thing about not killing you lot either. It’s funny how you humans pride yourselves in intellectual capabilities,” he swiped his fingers, added with a mockery overtone, “Get rid of them before they call for help.”

Huyan Haoze was furious but never nervous, he quickly drew a few complex runes and muttered, “Nice trap, idiot.”

The two marks in the demon’s hand were suddenly turned into two sparks, exploded and expanded to become a thirty-feet-wide fireball, engulfed the Demon King entirely within a second.

“I am too smart to think I am always the smartest, comparing demon intelligence to humans’ is a big mistake.” Huyan Haoze’s penetrating gaze was set on the blazing fire, he quickly covered himself with Qi and rushed in to deliver a devastating palm strike and retrieved the two marks from the stunned demon.

“I will end your life right here and now!” The Skeleton Demon King’s skin was melting and peeling off, the green glow in his eyes shone through the ball of fire as he screamed in agony.

“Bang!”

The demon dispelled the Qi and the flame on his body, lunged towards Huyan Haoze at extreme speed.

The opposing forces engaged into an all-out battle as their leaders fell out. The seven-star returned prime Warrior was able to gain a slight advantaged by the surprise attack, but strength between the Demon King and the Warrior was too vast, so much so that the royal squad had to support their leader instead of fighting with an advantage.

Meanwhile, the large pact of charging beasts had connected, immediately crushed the royal squad’s frontline. The team of human elites were pushed back against the pond, unable to retaliate.

‘Experienced as the Skeleton Demon King!’ Ye Wei could sense that Huyan Haoze had hidden a strange rune in the marks but kept quiet about it. ‘These people will do anything if it leads to what they want…’

‘Wanting is one thing, getting through Helian Jieyuan is another.’ Ye Wei smiled and drew a rune sequence under his feet. His figure faded into a belt of light, glided away from the heavy traffic of charging beasts.
