Chapter 61 Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner
Chapter 61 Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner
"In the battle between the Shape-Shifting Great Demon and the cultivator embracing the stage of fusion, my Demon Clan won, you have no objections, right?"
The Demon Emperor looked toward the Human Clan side, smiling.
His gaze mainly rested on Lu Yao and Ye Zhonggang, as the cultivators present did not represent the entire righteous and evil factions, but Lu Yao and Ye Zhonggang held the highest status, even higher than Emperor of Mighty Tang Li Mengde, so their words carried the most weight.
"Hmph!"
Lu Yao coldly huffed in dissatisfaction, but he said nothing else.
The performance of Lang Huaxin made it impossible for him to say anything without losing face.
Ye Zhonggang nodded slightly, his eyes landing on Su Yie with increased appreciation.
Su Yie could have killed Lang Huaxin, but he did not, which showed his magnanimity and that he was not a bloodthirsty person.
If it had been Lang Huaxin in an absolute advantage, Su Yie probably would not have survived.
"Let's proceed to have the Divine Power Demon King fight in the Fusion Heart Realm next!"
The Demon Emperor said with a smile; as he spoke, the Black Raven Archer beside him leaped up and landed in the battlefield.
Seeing this, the Demon Clan side began to stir, signifying that the Black Raven Archer also had a reputation in the Bailing Territory.
Lu Yao spoke up, "Ah-San, go ahead!"
At those words, a burly man behind him prepared to enter the arena.
Just then, one of the heavily armored generals behind Li Mengde interrupted, "I'll go!"
After saying that, he charged into the battlefield first.
Whoosh—
Both clans were taken aback, but neither Lu Yao nor Ah-San got angry; instead, they showed surprise.
"The War God of Mighty Tang, Li Linlang!"
"I didn't expect him to take action; he is a fully realized entity in the Fusion Heart Realm!"
"We're set!"
"Even the Sword Saint praised Li Linlang highly; that Black Raven Spirit is doomed to lose!"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to witness the War God of Mighty Tang in action!"
The cultivators discussed amongst themselves, full of confidence in Li Linlang.
When the Black Raven Archer noticed Li Linlang taking the field, he immediately narrowed his eyes, clearly having heard of Li Linlang.
Li Linlang, like a commander charging into battle, stood tall and domineering, holding a long spear in his hand and gazing at the Black Raven Archer. His tiger-like eyes gleamed as he said, "Black Raven Archer, is it? Today, dying at the point of my spear, you can rest in peace!"
Arrogant!
The Black Raven Archer immediately grew angry, pulled out his bow and arrows, and fired three arrows in succession.
Battle broke out in an instant!
Su Yie watched Li Linlang with interest; he had also heard the rumors about Li Linlang, a legendary figure of Mighty Tang, Li Mengde's most trusted person, said to be capable of battling a Nascent Soul cultivator!
When the Sword Saint had once stormed into Mighty Tang alone, Li Linlang was not yet fully realized but had still earned the Sword Saint's praise, renowned across the two clans.
Li Linlang held the spear single-handedly, thrusting thrice in succession and knocking down all of the Black Raven Archer's arrows.
He then stomped with his right foot, leaned forward and spun rapidly, advancing like a drilling wind, moving extremely fast.
The Black Raven Archer fired ten piercing arrows, all shredded by the powerful wind stirred up by Li Linlang. As Li Linlang neared, the Black Raven Archer flapped his wings and soared into the sky.
Li Linlang then came to a stop, spread out his legs, used his left hand to support himself on the ground, and held the spear above his head with his right hand.
Boom!
Li Linlang leapt into the air like a shooting rainbow.
His speed was so fast that even Su Yie's eyes could scarcely keep up.
With a squelching sound, the Black Raven Archer was pierced through, dissolving into a cloud of blood that burst scattered across the sky.
He died a gruesome death!
The Demon Emperor's eyes narrowed and a flash of murderous intent crossed them, but he had to restrain himself.
The Demon Clan side was in an uproar.
The Demon Emperor's favored Black Raven Archer was dead just like that?
Su Yie was also stunned, not expecting the previously conceited Black Raven Archer to be slain in a second.
Li Linlang stood proudly in the air, fully embodying the aura of the War God of Mighty Tang, even daring to look directly at the Demon Emperor!
"Impressive! This wasn't even a fight of equal standing, similar to the last one, only this time victory fell to our Human Clan!"
"That's the War God of the Mighty Tang for you!"
"With Li Linlang of Mighty Tang, the position of Overlord of the Seven Dynasties will remain unshaken."
"Alas, if such a powerful individual could be employed by our Zhao Dynasty, how great that would be."
"Admirable, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator would probably not be a match for Li Linlang."
The cultivators of various factions all praised Li Linlang; they had no choice, as Li Linlang's performance was beyond reproach.
Li Linlang returned to Li Mengde's side. His gaze turned towards Su Yie with a somewhat peculiar look, but Su Yie read a hint of provocation in it.
The Demon Emperor said with a cold face, "Next, let the Condensed Spirit Demon King fight with a Nascent Soul Cultivator."
As soon as the words fell, both clans started to discuss.
A battle between the Condensed Spirit Demon King and a Nascent Soul Cultivator could even destroy Demon City.
Lu Yao said in a deep voice, "Demon Emperor, did you come here to discuss territorial matters, or to fight? Just say the word, and we're ready to accompany you!"
As he spoke, he erupted with his own might, shaking the entire city.
Ye Zhonggang snorted coldly and, along with the old cultivator beside him, unleashed his aura, intimidating the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor could only represent the Demon Clan of Bailing Territory, while the Qingyi Sect and Demon Sect had great power and would not fear the Demon Emperor.
It was precisely because of their strength that the Demon Emperor dared not launch a direct war.
What was most crucial was that The Four Lords, the sect head, and the head of Qingyi Sect had not come; he did not dare to eliminate the top powerhouses of the two factions outright.
"In that case, let's eat and discuss at the same time."
The Demon Emperor said with a beaming smile, seemingly a completely different person from the one with a cold face before.
True to the title of Demon Emperor, his ability to change his expression was something ordinary people couldn't hold a candle to.
Su Yie sighed inwardly, then began to meditate. As for the food on the table, he simply had no appetite for it—was this even fit for humans to eat?
Following this, the big shots of both clans began their verbal sparring, each striving for the greatest benefit for their own race.
Su Yie wasn't interested in this, for he already knew the future.
One day, the Demon Clan would annihilate the Human Clan.
Of course, they, the Earthlings, were the variable.
Time flew by swiftly.
Soon, it was noon.
Bang!
Lu Yao slammed his palm onto the table next to him, shattering it, then stood up abruptly, roaring, "Demon Emperor! If you wish to start a war, just say so, and my Demon Sect will definitely flatten Bailing Territory!"
The clans of the Seven Dynasties and the families of the righteous and demonic paths all became anxious.
They didn't have the strong power of the Demon Sect or the Qingyi Sect, so they were indeed worried about facing the Demon Clan of Bailing Territory.
The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes, staring at Lu Yao, "What's the matter? You really want to start a war?"
Lu Yao wanted to answer but was held back by an elder beside him.
Their leader had not sent them here to start a war.
With that in mind, Lu Yao took a deep breath, flipped his hand, and pulled out a black flag, with faces of evil ghosts imprinted on it, eerily terrifying.
In an instant, a chill wind swept through the whole place.
Even Su Yie, who was meditating, opened his eyes.
The Demon Emperor was moved and said in a cold voice, "What are you trying to do?"
Lu Yao, holding the black flag, sneered, "This is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner. Today, if you don't sign a non-aggression treaty, I will perish together with you!"
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner!
With these words, both Human and Demon Clans were in an uproar.
"How did he bring the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner here?"
"Shameless!"
"Could this be the dreaded Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner from the legends, which devoured countless wronged spirits, bringing disasters upon the Human Realm once the spirits are released?"
"The protector of the Demon Sect is too impulsive!"
"Damn it, don't tell me even us allies will have to be sacrificed?"
