Chapter 988 “City Subjugation (2)”
Staring down cooly at the man below herself, Bai Yan slowly rose from the chair, arm stretching out as she summoned up a frosty blade made of ice-cold bone. “Then I’ll show you now if I’m qualified to take over this city or not.”
In that split second as words came forth, that womanly figure also disappeared from view. He Ling didn’t know where she went, but the instinct built through years of combat and experience told him he needed to turn around and deflect! And sure enough, he did by throwing out a palm strike of his own.
Unfortunately for this once prominent leader of this city though, his efforts were futile. Squirts of spraying blood came squirting out of his hand when the blade pierced into his flesh and bone, causing the crimson red liquid to splatter all over his own clothes.
It’s clear who’s the victor here today. If He Ling didn’t try to block there at the last moment, the bone blade would’ve been in his chest and not just in his hand.
Understanding this possible consequence, an unnerved chill ran through the man’s skin, turning his eyes vigilant and alarmed.
“Do you understand your own status now?” Forming a smirk on her face, she scans the crowd to make sure they understood the meaning of her threat: “Or you can all come at me together at once, I don’t mind either.”
Since these people had the intent to begin with, that suggestion instantly roused a stir among the unwilling group. There’s a smudge of determination returning to their faces after losing some of their light.
“Lady, He Ling isn’t wrong in what he said. We are denizens of the Celestial Realm, it’s natural that we would be against the Demon Realm! These people were stupid enough to make a move against you so we didn’t intervene, but if you want to conquer the entire border city then we will never agree.”
“That’s right! If you want us to be slaves to demons then we will never agree!”
Poof~!
Without any warning, a blast of searing heat fires over at the last person who spoke up, engulfing and incinerating his body until even his soul was destroyed by the flame. Eerily enough, the process had happened so quickly that no screams ever came from the individual, sending many into a frantic unease of fear and horror.
That’s right, the flame burned right down to the soul. If it was simple death then they could still have a chance at being reborn through the cycle of life, but what awaits them was clearly eternal damnation!
Devil!
This man is more evil than the darkest creature in existence! At least such things only torture or devour one’s soul, not destroy it outright!
They all gulped and stared at the silver haired man sitting on the throne chair, their eyes haunted now. This included He Ling and the other high level Saint Ranks present.
“Is there anymore objections to my wife’s decision?” Lazy and bland in his interest, Di Cang asks with an air of melancholy
They had long heard of how cruel and ruthless this demon king was, but it’s far beyond their imagination. Yet, they seem to have forgotten how cruel humanity too have been towards the various creatures of this world. Hunted for their fur, for their flesh, for their cores, anything of value would be sought after by humanity regardless of their origin or background.
