Pfff…

The demon king merely revealed a portion of its body, but its powerful aura presence immediately pressured Jiang Yi to kneel on one knee while he was violently spurting blood from his mouth.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
The surrounding ice blocks and seawater all exploded as the demon king appeared, giving rise to a wave that was extremely high, while the giant demon king revealed its true body.
It was a demonic beast that looked like a jackal, which was 12-meter-tall and 24-meter-long. Its entire body was like fire, and its unicorn and tail were like two bundles of blazing flames. Its entire body was covered in yellowish red scales. The claws on its limbs were snow-white and translucent, reflecting chilling light that sent a chill down the spine. Its eyes were very special—looking majestic even though it wasn’t enraged. It looked just like a fiend which caused fear in the hearts.



Yazi Beast 1
 !

Jiang Yi didn’t recognize this demonic beast, but He Lao exclaimed from the distance. This type of demonic beast was very rare and loved to slaughter. Its strength is extremely ferocious, and it seemed like the two of them would not be able to escape this misfortune.
Jiang Yi knelt on one knee and was holding the Fire Dragon Sword. Although his body couldn’t stand from the massive prowess pressure, he still stubbornly raised his head up and looked at the demon king without any fear.

Human, you have some bravery, huh? You dare to kill master’s descendants in front of this king?

The Yazi Beast stood in mid-air and looked at Jiang Yi with its eyes which were as big as bronze bells. It opened its mouth indifferently and spoke with an impactful and thunderous voice, which caused Jiang Yi to vomit another mouthful of blood.
As expected!
This was indeed the demon king that was tamed by the Witch God back in the days. Three thousand years had passed, but this demon king didn’t die yet. Its strength was even at the peak grade of tier-four. It might just break through at any moment, being an existence like the Demon Empress.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of blood sludge. He put everything on the line and circulated his essence force in a frenzy and struggled to open his mouth,
I have always been brave. Your master’s descendant wanted to kill, so why can’t I kill him? If you want to kill, then kill. Stop all your nonsense!


Hmph!

The demon king let out a ‘hmph’ while an invisible aura presence oscillated from his body, causing a ripple in the air. Jiang Yi felt as though his body was crushed by a giant force, causing his body to fly up and over a few hundred meters. He crashed into a mutated beast while fresh blood spurted out from his mouth violently. If that mutated beast didn’t cushion his body, he might have been smashed into pieces.



Human, are you not afraid of death?

The demon king spoke again and slowly flew over to Jiang Yi. It looked down upon Jiang Yi from above and squirmed its mouth while speaking indifferently,
As long as you kneel and give this king one hundred kowtows, this king shall spare your life. How about it?


Uh…

Jiang Yi and He Lao had this amazement in their eyes. This demon king didn’t kill them immediately and actually asked Jiang Yi to kneel and kowtow? It even wanted to spare Jiang Yi’s life?
Isn’t the Yazi Beast brutal by nature and loved to kill? Ancient sayings stated that a Yazi Beast will always take its revenge. It is rumored that if anyone took a single glance at the Yazi Beast, it would hunt you to the end of the world. Why is this Yazi Beast so strange?

He Lao blinked his eyes while feeling confused, but his heart burned with a trace of hope. A demon king was equivalent to a human martial expert and would certainly keep its words. If Jiang Yi was to kneel and seek for mercy, there might really be a chance for escape.
Who knew—?
Before He Lao had the time to send Jiang Yi a message, Jiang Yi sneered and spoke with mockery,
I, Jiang Yi, have an indomitable spirit. I will kneel to heaven, to earth, and to my parents. You are just a demonic beast; what qualification do you have to for me to kneel and kowtow to you? I didn’t even kneel to the Demon Empress in Mt. Thirty Thousand who is a hundred folds stronger than you! If you want to kill me, then do it; stop all your nonsense. Speak anymore, and even I will look down on you.


Oh no…

He Lao’s body shuddered, and he was feeling annoyed. Why was Jiang Yi’s temperament so unyielding? What kind of situation was this again? Couldn’t he just accept a compromise? A true hero could always give way when needed. Once a person was dead, nothing could be done. What use was there for unflinching righteousness?



It seems like you truly wish for death!

The Yazi Beast grinned with a smile that was even more frightening than a malicious spirit. The fiery red unicorn on its head lit up, spreading an even more horrific aura presence. Jiang Yi was suppressed so much that his body constantly trembling, and he was vomiting more blood. The demon king bellowed for one last time:
Kowtow and beg for mercy, or else… die!

Jiang Yi’s body had been suppressed, but his head was still held up high. He suddenly grinned and revealed his white teeth which were soaked in blood and struggled to say,
Kow… your ass!

Swish!
The Yazi Beast’s unicorn flashed with light and immediately shot at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s body vanished in the blink of the eye—as though he was turned into dust by a powerful attack, without leaving behind a corpse.

Young Master Yi!

He Lao screamed out miserably. Against such a powerful attack—put aside Jiang Yi, even the Divine Martial Kingdom’s Old Eunuch Lin would be turned into dust, right? His eyes looked over at the Yazi Beast as he roared out with rage,
Bastard, come on then! Kill this old man, too!

The Yazi Beast swept an apathetic look at He Lao with eyes of disdain. It dove into the iced sea, and its aura presence vanished quickly, restoring the movements back to the mutated beasts as they all rushed at He Lao in a frenzy.

Ke-Ke!

He Lao was stung by the Yazi Beast’s look of disdain. He mocked himself and brandished the heaven artifact violently to attack. He was going for the broke. Since Jiang Yi was dead, he didn’t wish to live anymore. Even if he could get out of this place, he wouldn’t have the face to look for Zhan Wushuang; he might as well bury himself with Jiang Yi.


Of course… before he perished, he was prepared to kill a few more mutated beasts to vent the anguish and rage in his heart.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
He desperately and frenziedly shot out his dao pattern attacks, which struck at the mutated beasts from all directions. The mutated beasts were sent flying one after another by his violent attacks and were drenched in fresh blood after being blasted. It took just a moment of time for three mutated beasts to be seriously injured by him, and they all fell into a pool of blood.

Howl!

A giant ice wolf rushed at him while spitting out a chilling breath while its massive body flew towards He Lao, like a small shifting mountain trying to forcefully crash into He Lao.
Swish!
He Lao flew up and abruptly cleaved at this ice wolf. Although the ice wolf’s head was blasted into a bloodied mess, it still continued to rush in a frenzy, successfully knocking up He Lao.

Pfff!

He Lao rolled on the ground to get rid of some forces. At the last moment, he did send out a palm strike to repel himself from the ice wolf, but his inner organs were still damaged from the impact. One of his leg bones was aching dully as he suffered neither heavy nor light injuries.

Young Master Yi, I am coming to look for you soon…



When he felt that there were a few mutated beasts rushing at him, He Lao let out a bitter smile. He subconsciously looked over at where Jiang Yi was killed.

This isn’t right!

Suddenly…
His body shivered, and his eyes widened when he noticed something was wrong. The place where Jiang Yi was standing earlier was covered in blood, but it was a flat surface!
That demon king’s attack was so horrific that it turned Jiang Yi into dust, right? How could the surface of the ground be perfectly normal? Even if there wasn’t a giant pit, there should be some signs of the attack, right? Could the demon king had such accuracy of its strength? Not even a trace of energy leaked out? It was obviously impossible.

Not dead! Young Master Yi is definitely alive!

When thinking about the strange behavior of the demon king, He Lao suddenly thought of a bold conclusion. Jiang Yi didn’t get turned into dust and was possibly teleported by the demon king using a special ability.

Could that be a test earlier? It must be. The Witch God needed to impart his inheritance, and Young Master Yi had an absolute talent, a special constitution, and was able to comprehend mid-grade dao pattern at such a young age. The demon king must have fancied Jiang Yi and intentionally tested him? Which meant that Young Master Yi unwillingness to beg for mercy until dead… actually passed the test?

The more He Lao pondered, the more he got excited. His heart which originally desired for death suddenly turned lively again. If Jiang Yi was truly teleported away and went to the fifth floor. He might be able to inherit the Witch God’s legacy, and there might still be a chance for survival.

Kill!

No matter if that was the case, He Lao decided to desperately live on and wait for a miracle.
