Chapter 33: Strike Of Lightning
The yellow lion hair of the demon king fluttered even though there was no wind.
His breathing carried a terrifying low roar.
God knows how many years ago, he was still just a male lion on the prairie.
After hundreds of years had passed, he discovered an ancient cave and obtained a secret cultivation manual of combat aura.
This cultivation had transformed his form, and he cultivated for another hundred years to rule the mountains and forests.
He spread his bloodline everywhere, forming a huge demon clan.
From then on, rules were set. The huge demon clan intermarried within the clan, causing the demons’ bloodline to stabilize and form a new clan.
The demons that were born with the ability to transform were able to cultivate like humans, and their levels rose rapidly.
At the same time, he also issued a decree that elves in the mountains who had transformed into demons from wild beasts on their own would need to submit to the demons or face death.
It had been this way for thousands of years. The original demon king was now at the same level as the Titan King, and was an 8-star powerhouse.
No one was right or wrong.
The demon king was not in the wrong. He had contributed greatly. The strict law and order he imposed had stabilized the legacy of the demons.
Sun Yuan was not in the wrong either. He was only a small demon in human form, but for the past hundreds of years, faced the demons’ pursuit of him in assassination.
“Let’s fight to the death. If you regret it now, you can leave.”
Sun Yuan said.
Everyone was shocked.
The conflict between the nomadic demons and the demon clans was not built in a day or two.
However, the lion on the stage was the creator of the demons.
“Hmph, I’m afraid of you. I will clean up a dissident like you on behalf of the entire demon clan.”
Sun Yuan said with a cold smile, “Dissident? I’m afraid you have already forgotten that you were once a savage too.”
“What right do you have to define all demons who have made the transformation on their own as dissidents? Don’t you see that what you’re doing would spell the end of the demons’ limitless future?”
“Hmph, where would our clan be without the law? Cut the crap.”
After the Lion King had finished speaking, he gathered aura onto his entire body continuously.
In an instant, a green-colored combat aura battle armor ignited around his body.
Every bolt of lightning around his body was like the bolts of the heavens. The crackling echoed and the hair of the mages close by stood on end.
This was despite the fighting ring being placed under the protection of a formation.
It was evident how terrifying the combat aura armor on his body was.
The broadsword in his hand was glowing with white light. This was the lightning that had been condensed to a certain degree.
“Heavens, has the lightning materialized? This is too terrifying.”
“Yes, such a powerful lightning. How powerful must the body be to be able to contain it.”
Everyone knew that before mages became mage gods, they mainly relied on the energy fluctuations of heaven and earth to cast spells.
All warriors and swordsmen used the magical energy of heaven and earth to continuously refine their bodies. Once they reached a certain level of strength, they would then attack.
The demon king was an 8-star powerhouse, so his body had already been tempered a thousand times.
“I think that monkey is going to have a big problem. Although he has obtained an invincible cultivation technique, the refinement of his body is not something that can be done in one go.”
“I feel that the body of this demon king has already surpassed that of an ordinary eight-star powerhouse.”
“There you go again. You are just a mage. How would you know how strong the body of a demon king is?”
“What do you know? This is common knowledge. It is recorded in the books.”
“Nonsense. If that’s so, I don’t see you practicing your fighting skills.”
The two of them had yet to fight when the people below watching the drama began to argue.
Lin En shook his head and said, “It’s true that wherever we go, there will always be people anticipating drama.”
Kylie was a little stunned as she said, “What do you mean by anticipating drama?”
“Well, this is anticipating drama. Look at the people present. There are clearly not many star-level powerhouses, but these people are the ones discussing it the most.
“They clearly don’t know anything about strength, but all of them seem to be experts on the situation.”
“They don’t understand anything, yet they still speak so eloquently about it .”
“PFFT!”
Kylie burst out laughing.
“You can’t stand to see others being good. I guess this must be a big battle.”
“Moreover, the demon king still has a chance of winning, and that ranking list might not be accurate.”
“Wanna bet…”
Lin En said.
“What do you want to bet on?”
“If you lose, warm my bed tonight,” Lin En said with a smile.
Kylie’s face instantly turned red.
“I’m not afraid of you. What if you lose?”
“I’ll warm your bed,” Lin En said.
“Lin En, you’re courting death –”
Kylie reacted and charged at Lin En, hitting and scratching.
The two of them had been this way since they were young. They had always been teasing around with each other.
Aquino was already used to it.
“Ah!”
At this time, the demon king roared loudly, and his blood energy soared to the sky.
Everyone was visibly affected. That blood energy was too terrifying.
Even the Titan King and the Elven Queen, who were watching from outside the ring, frowned slightly.
Such powerful blood energy must contain powerful strength. They believed that they would soon find out how powerful.
Sun Yuan’s clothes fluttered in the wind. He did not move at all. He was just like the defender from before, with his hands behind his back, as if everything was under his control.
“Ha!”
He slashed toward the sky, as if releasing all the anger in his heart.
The clouds in the sky were sliced into two halves.
Everyone’s mouth fell agape. Was this something a human was capable of?
“Sun Yuan, right? Although you are ranked ahead of me, I will make you regret fighting me.”
The demon king said.
Sun Yuan nodded and said, “I will give you enough time to prepare. Otherwise, when I win, you will claim unfairness.”
“You…”
The demon king roared angrily, but he didn’t immediately attack.
He could sense that this monkey in front of him was more than meets the eye.
The monkey was standing in front of him, but it was equivalent to a mountain blocking at the front.
The demon king was not a fool. The other party had given him time to prepare.
This was a battle of life and death.
He represented all demons. He could not afford to lose this battle.
He was filled with reverence towards the rankings on the Golden Board of Heaven and Earth.
The reason why he jumped into the ring was because he was hot-headed. Moreover, he was given time by the monkey to prepare.
That was the best opportunity.
As the spectators watched the battle, they began discussing it again.
“This Sun Yuan is being a little too arrogant. If I were to prepare myself with forbidden magic, my strength would increase by at least ten times, and I might even be able to instantly kill someone of a higher level.”
“He actually allowed the demon king time to condense his aura.”
The demon king’s aura became more and more frightening.
The lightning armor that was originally engulfing him became thicker and brighter.
The lightning that condensed on his broadsword also became more and more terrifying.
This was to unleash a lightning strike.
Normally, this type of attack would not appear in a fight.
“Sun Yuan, you will regret your actions. You are a dissident.”
“I told you, from today onwards, the demons should have more freedom.”
“The one who will end all of this will be you.”
Sun Yuan said lightly.
“Alright, then let’s see what you are made of.”
The demon king made his move.
At that instant, no one knew how he moved.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Sun Yuan’s head and slashed down with his broadsword.
“Boom!”
A powerful aura erupted from between the two of them. The blinding lightning caused everyone to close their eyes.
“Ah! This –”
When the lightning dissipated, everyone was stunned. They saw Sun Yuan raise his arm and block the lightning strike.
