Chapter 427: Chapter 239: I, the Brave, am the Messenger of Justice!_2

"They’ve already arrived."

Gu Shanhai looked toward the three approaching black specks in the distance.

Hualou Chun and Taohua Xiao’s eyesight was not as good as his; they could only vaguely see the black specks, while in Gu Shanhai’s eyes, three giant dragons materialized.

They were respectively the Red Dragon, the Deep Blue Dragon, and the Green Dragon. The giant dragons in this world were not the same as the Five-colored Dragons in DND; the red one was a Fire Dragon, the deep blue one was an Ice Dragon, and the green one was a Forest Dragon. These records were what Gu Shanhai had seen in the documents from the Holy Kingdom.

The three Level 100 elite dragons approached swiftly, clashing with a swarm of Vespa-type genetically modified people at the onset.

With strong physical bodies combined with the Dragon Clan’s unique Dragon Breath, the modified people fell to flame, frost, and emerging vines first.

Gu Shanhai actually didn’t think much of the first two dragons; their little abilities were nothing compared to his Flame Aura and Frost Aura. On the other hand, the Forest Breath from the Forest Dragon caught his eye, and he decided to capture it alive.

He wanted to see how this Forest Dragon could spew out vines with a single breath.

Following the giant dragons were a group of Dark Night Bat Demons, based on the template of the Dark Night General whom Gu Shanhai had dissected earlier. They were less powerful than the dragons but far more numerous. Gu Shanhai estimated there must be at least about three thousand of them—part of the flying units of the Demon King Army.

Next came the main forces of the various races.

"Hero, if you destroy these bee-like monsters and resume your duties, we can talk," the Elf King, arriving at the forefront, said upon seeing the trio of players, suggesting ambivalently for them to lay down their weapons and surrender.

"Heh, lucky we gathered all the righteous hearts of the Holy Empire, otherwise, how could we have known that you other races surrendered to the Demon Clan?" Gu Shanhai sneered before continuing, "If we really listened to you, your next step would be to help the Demon King rule the entire Hero Continent."

"I am the Hero, the representative of justice, and all that stands before justice is evil!"

Gu Shanhai started off with acts like twisting facts, blame attribution, moral high grounding, and condescending advice.

"Hero, it was clearly you who first massacred the entire Holy Kingdom and turned everyone into monsters," the Dwarf King, unable to hold back, bluntly opened up.

"So what? They sacrificed themselves for justice, unlike you who even surrendered to the Demon King and became part of the Demon King Army," Gu Shanhai said with a face full of righteousness.

Hearing Gu Shanhai’s words, the assembled kings of the various races felt something growing in their hearts, thinking he should at least show some shame.

To not only turn black into white but also to take pride in it, what on earth did this hero do before his transmigration?

"You are the most powerful hero I’ve ever seen."

A huge, dark cloud emerged in the sky, a shadow descended from the heavens, clad in pitch-black armor with long, backward-growing horns on the helmet, exuding an aura like molten lava, with black and red gas bursting from the nostrils.

The Demon King had arrived.

And at that moment, the three giant dragons hurriedly retreated, mainly because there were too many Vespa-type genetically modified people; one would fall, and ten more would surge forward, leaving them utterly powerless.

Even the support from the Dark Night Bat Demons was like throwing meat buns at a dog; there weren’t many left now.

From this, it was apparent that there was an apparent lack of developed warfare technique in Hero Continent; everything relied on individuals, like heroes fighting the Demon King, leading their little squads to fight and kill, rather than the different races joining forces to form a united army.

"Then you’ve seen too little, but no matter, you have plenty of days ahead of you; you’ll see it, sooner or later," Gu Shanhai looked at the Demon King, and couldn’t help admiring his appearance, especially his gear and effects, which even tempted him a bit.

Thinking of stripping it off him later for his own use—after all, the Demon King wouldn’t have a chance later on.

```

Gu Shanhai wasn’t idle as he said this; with a slight wave of his hand, he signaled that they could start.

The ones who made their move were not only the Vespa-type genetically modified people but also Hualou Chun and Taohua Xiao. After receiving the aura enhancement from Gu Shanhai, their ferocity was remarkable. The two charged directly into the thick of the alliance army, advancing towards the elite alien kings.

The fight was fierce, with just the two of them managing to hold off the kings.

Mainly because they already had high health and defense, but with Gu Shanhai’s amplification, not to mention their lengthened health bars and rapid regeneration, they also gained extremely high defense and powerful resistances, which allowed them to stand their ground.

"Be careful with the green dragon," Gu Shanhai warned Hualou Chun as he watched him chop off the Ice Dragon’s tail with his longsword, "Don’t kill it, I need it." His eye twitched involuntarily at the sight.

"Got it!" Hualou Chun responded immediately and glanced at the shadow of the green giant dragon, then switched targets and headed towards the Dwarf King.

The Demon King, who was on the sidelines, did not take action, but witnessing the combat power of Hualou Chun and Taohua Xiao, he couldn’t help but feel a shiver of awe. They were just too ferocious.

In the past, heroes never had such abilities; they were all rushed and leveled up by fighting monsters.

"What, you want to practice with me?" Gu Shanhai addressed the Demon King, wondering if anyone was foolish enough to seek death by challenging him.

"Heroes are supposed to fight the Demon King," the Demon King replied with a smile, showing no concern for his own defeat; after all, he couldn’t die.

"Ah, but I don’t want to fight you, and besides, those two are also heroes. Why are you only targeting me?" Gu Shanhai complained.

It turned out that the Demon King was one to target the backline, specifically targeting him, a support-type hero.

"No, only by defeating you can everything be resolved," said the Demon King in an even tone.

"I really don’t have time, what if I find someone else to fight you?" Gu Shanhai then took out a painting.

In that instant, the Demon King felt a certain fear rising within him. He was sure that the painting was some kind of powerful Magic Device that contained the power to truly kill him.

Gu Shanhai had yet to summon the phantoms from the painting when he noticed something off with the Demon King’s emotions.

He then shook the painting slightly, clearly seeing a change in the Demon King’s complexion.

"Are you afraid?" Gu Shanhai asked with interest.

He had a guess in his mind; it was very likely that projections from the Upper Three Realms could completely erase the Demon King, rendering his immortality ineffective.

Immortality had its ranks, after all. It was a post-effect, not a preset, and there were various types of immortality. Taking Gu Shanhai as an example, if he had immortality, it would be due to an extremely strong vitality and a seemingly endless lifespan.

"Yes, the painting in your hands is very powerful," the Demon King admitted.

"So, I was thinking first..."

As the Demon King was speaking, he instantly appeared in front of Gu Shanhai, extending his claws to snatch the painting from Gu Shanhai’s hands.

"...to get the painting?" The Demon King grasped at air, creating an unmistakably awkward atmosphere.

"You know, only I can use this thing," Gu Shanhai explained a bit awkwardly to the face-to-face Demon King, "If you try to use it, you’ll die." It was only because he had deftly retracted his hand that the Demon King did not actually grab the Mahayana·Xuanzhen Sect Painting, which would have instantly backlashed against him.

This Magic Device was bound to Gu Shanhai; if anyone else tried to take it without his permission, the phantoms inside the painting would strike back. Even if the Demon King were to get lucky and merely be attacked without dying, he would still be severely injured.

Of course, Gu Shanhai couldn’t allow that. He particularly prized the Demon King, whose status ranked even above that of the Forest Dragon.
