Chapter 1187 - Chapter 1187 Chapter 1187 The Demon King is Coming

Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: The Demon King is Coming! Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: The Demon King is Coming! The three immortals standing aloft in the void, with eyes nurturing Immortal Spirit Qi, brilliance coalescing on their bodies, seemed to be brewing an unmatched Divine Power to deliver a fatal blow to Huang Xiaolong.

By now, the situation was essentially under control, with five immortals joining forces to suppress Huang Xiaolong, almost forming a one-sided crushing scenario.

“Boy, do you still not understand the situation?” the male elder from Shushan burst forth again with a fierce gleam, sneering maliciously, “Five immortals and you still think of resisting? I advise you to obediently hand over the five black daggers in your possession, then reveal the whereabouts of the last black dagger, which we naturally will retrieve. Don’t waste your effort, in front of us, all your tricks are but ants moving house, pathetically weak!”

“Nangong Hong! You filthy beast, do you think that by finding a stable backer, you dared to betray Shushan? What can you say now?” the male elder from Shushan glared at Nangong Hong venomously. “You should know the punishment for traitors in the Shushan sect. Now do you regret it? Kneel, bow three times and kowtow nine times, then I, the elder, will select a disciple to seize your body. That way, you can keep your shell in the world.”

“Elder!” Ling Feng’s eyes turned blood-red. “I am willing to give up this flesh and seize Nangong Hong’s body, I hope the elder will grant this!”

“It’s useless,” Nangong Hong said with a mocking smile, slowly beginning to speak. “Just you, trying to challenge my master? That’s courting death. Immortals, no matter how many come, are not enough for my master to kill. One comes, one dies; today is your doomsday.”

“Hm?” the female elder of Shushan furrowed her brows slightly.

She observed Nangong Hong carefully.

All of his words and deeds were so composed and calm that they were unbelievable, lacking the instinctual fear one would have facing five immortals.

Looking at Huang Xiaolong, he too was as stable as mountains.

Standing behind Huang Xiaolong, the mysterious woman wrapped up with no mana fluctuations around her, was equally unfathomable, calm like still water!

‘Could it be that there really is some incredible support behind this young man? Is that what makes him remain so composed?’ the female elder of Shushan, meticulous in her thoughts, surmised, then laughed again, “Well then, young man, since you are unwilling to hand over the five black daggers, we won’t force you. Now, let’s discuss this properly; that is the right way.”

During her speech, she also transmitted her soul whispering to several immortals, instructing them not to attack Huang Xiaolong for the moment and to watch how things unfold.

Huang Xiaolong spread his hands in a laid-back manner, indicating he was indifferent to any outcome.

At that moment, the three immortals who had been standing in the void also descended together.

They took their seats.

“Young friend, such immortal fate is not trivial; it’s better to plan for the long term,” the female elder of Shushan said with a smile. “Let’s not talk about other things first but focus on seizing the black dagger controlled by the Demon King.”

“Where is the Demon King located?” Huang Xiaolong asked casually.

“We naturally know where the Demon King’s lair is. However, these secrets can’t be revealed lightly,” the male elder of Shushan, finding a chance for revenge, scoffed at Huang Xiaolong. “Unless you reveal the whereabouts of the last black dagger, as a trade.”

“Hahaha — trade? There’s really no need; once I find that last black dagger, I will control six of them. Why would I need to exchange with you?” Huang Xiaolong made his intentions very clear that whether they could find the immortal cave ultimately depended on him! After all, he controlled the most black daggers.

“You!” the male elder of Shushan, so furious he could puff out his beard and glower, yet was helpless against Huang Xiaolong.

“Young friend, are you aware of the Demon King’s strength?” the female elder of Shushan shifted the topic smoothly.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head.

Shaking his head did not mean he didn’t know; it meant he was disdainful of understanding.

As long as it was about cultivating on Earth, be it humans or demons, Huang Xiaolong paid them no heed. How far a Demon King’s power had evolved was, for Huang Xiaolong, merely a matter of a punch or a sword.

Even with these five Immortals before him, if Huang Xiaolong merely sent them to the underworld and let its laws bind them, wouldn’t he be able to torment them at will, killing or enslaving as he wished?

However, the situation now was somewhat amusing, so Huang Xiaolong had merely refrained from annihilating them entirely.

Toying with them was merely a way to find some amusement!

“Heh~~ Young friend, that Demon King is a formidable demon left over from Ancient Times. Having cultivated for long years and being a descendant of ancient ferocious beasts, his physique is incomparably stronger than that of human cultivators.” A female elder from Shushan spoke confidently. “Discussing combat power, two Immortals, without using any magical treasures, could fight the Demon King to a draw. With the aid of peerless magical treasures, they could defeat him but could not surround and kill him. With the deployment of three Immortals, the Demon King would have no escape.”

“Since ancient times, the Demon Race has been domineering,” another Immortal remarked, also feeling sentimental. “Fortunately, during Ancient Times, human cultivators united and almost completely exterminated the Demon Race. However, this current Demon King is still a disaster.”

“Then let’s seize the chance when grabbing the black dagger to kill him completely! Exterminate all the demons in the world!” A male elder from Shushan declared ferociously, filled with the intent to kill.

“Young friend, how about we make a bet?” The female elder from Shushan, with a playful look in her eyes, glanced at Huang Xiaolong, her eyes shifting clearly hinting that she was scheming something.

“What bet?” Huang Xiaolong asked cheerfully.

“We will split up to find the Demon King’s lair and hunt him down. Whoever first seizes the black dagger from the Demon King’s possession will be the winner.” The female elder from Shushan smiled. “Should we find and kill the Demon King first, you must tell us the location of the last black dagger and cooperate well with us in the quest for the Immortal’s cave, with no dissent.”

“What if you lose?” Huang Xiaolong asked impassively.

The five Immortals exchanged smiling glances.

Lose?

Possible?

The Demon King’s lair was exceedingly secret, guarded by many illusions, and difficult for ordinary people to find. Even these Immortals had searched for a thousand years to discover it.

Not to mention killing the Demon King, even finding the demon’s lair was impossible for Huang Xiaolong.

Besides, the combat strength of the Demon King was immensely powerful, enough to shake two Immortals alone. That meant, even if Huang Xiaolong did find the Demon King’s lair, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him and could very likely be killed instead.

By agreeing to this bet, Huang Xiaolong was destined to lose; there was no chance of fluke.

“Young friend, if we lose, then–seeking the Immortal’s cave will proceed under your command naturally. How about that?” The female elder from Shushan confidently proposed.

“No need. If you lose, just hand over the two black daggers to me,” Huang Xiaolong stated straightforwardly.

He still could not believe that, with Yin Emperor’s unparalleled methods and full effort, he could not find the Demon King’s lair.

“It’s a deal.” The female ancestor of Shushan, confidently terrifying.

The other four Immortals also nodded, their faces exuding confidence, as if victory was in their grasp.

“This mission to surround and exterminate the Demon King is tied to the rise and fall of the overseas world, you all should join,” the male ancestor of Shushan commanded the kneeling cultivators.

This was a command from a superior.

All cultivators, other than those from the Emei sect, promptly agreed in unison.

At this moment, the male ancestor of Shushan gave Huang Xiaolong a teasing smile, the subtext being, with all of us cultivators and forces from overseas working together, how could we not handle you, young man?

However, just then!

A demonic wind suddenly arose above the sea!

In the sky, a chillingly strange male voice descended–“Hehehe~~ you foolish human cultivators, actually conspiring here to besiege me… Very well, very well~~ Hehehe~~~”

“Hm?” Huang Xiaolong felt a slight stir in his heart as he sensed wisps of demonic energy descending from the sky!

Moreover, mixed within this wisp of demonic energy was an aura that tugged at Huang Xiaolong’s soul!

‘This demonic energy feels familiar~~’ Huang Xiaolong immediately recalled and soon, his eyes brightened. ‘Ah, it’s…’

“Hahaha~~~” An Immortal suddenly laughed out loud, endless celestial light spilling out, cleansing a swath of the sky into a picturesque scene. “Demon King! You’re truly seeking your own death! Hahaha~~ We were just about to go and kill you, and here you are, delivering yourself to us! Hahaha! How thrilling! It saves us from the trouble of traveling… The Demon Race, indeed naturally so foolish~~!”

“Who kills whom is still uncertain.” The Demon King’s icy voice contained a deeply buried decisiveness in killing.

As soon as he appeared, in Shushan’s Immortal Island, the minds of most cultivators with slightly lower realms naturally conjured a terrifying humanoid figure that blotted out the sun and possessed boundless power!

“Outrageous! Evil Demon Race, daring to run wild in our Shushan, ignorant of life and death!” The female ancestor of Shushan spat out celestial light, within which rolled countless dense, endless inscriptions like jade stones, penetrating the bodies of the cultivators present and their brains. This wiped clean all illusions produced in their minds.

Huang Xiaolong slightly raised his head to see a man standing in the sky.

This was an image of a man in his thirties, wearing a long robe, about two meters tall yet perfectly proportioned, not appearing awkward at all. His hair was tied up with a jade pin, his facial features gently outlined, and his eyes strangely bewitching. Beside him were eighty-one rainbows piercing through the void, auspicious clouds swirling around, making for a spectacular sight as he stood on the morning glow, utterly out of this world.

At first glance, he appeared not as a demon but as an Immortal who had descended to the mortal world, sharing an uncanny resemblance to those five human Immortals.

However, cultivators with higher realms could still sense the evil demonic energy emanating from him.

This was the overseas Demon King!

A creature from ancient times!

As soon as the Demon King appeared, demonic wind churned wildly over the sea, and demonic Qi wafted gently, causing all marine life in the area to rapidly mutate, absorbing the demonic Qi and gaining the opportunities to cultivate. Given time, this sea area would spawn numerous fish demons and sea monsters.

“Demon King, you indeed also have a black small knife, don’t you?” the female ancestor of Shushan suddenly spoke.

“What of it?” The Demon King did not deny.

“Giggle~~~” The female ancestor of Shushan suddenly burst into laughter. “That’s strange, Demon King. We are quite aware of your strength, and you probably also know… the strength of us five Immortals. Yet today, you boldly deliver yourself to us. I am really curious about what you’re relying on.”

However!

Just then, the Demon King seemed to discover something. His face suddenly changed, his demonic pupils contracted several times, and finally, he locked his gaze on Huang Xiaolong!

In an instant, blood-red demonic Qi emanated from the Demon King’s eyes, his killing intent soaring uncontrollably!

“Could it be! This little runt is the Demon King’s inside man!” blurted the male ancestor of Shushan, his voice sharp. “You little runt, are you the Demon King’s subordinate?”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several Immortals, including other cultivators present, all showed suspicion.

Why was the Demon King so fearless? Could it be because of Huang Xiaolong, who was strong enough to confront an Immortal?

Were this man and demon in league?

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong’s gaze was steadily on the Demon King, “Um~~ Demon King? If I am not mistaken, your true form should be a Taotie, right?”

“Hehehe, I once killed a young Taotie; that creature was too weak. But in its dying breath, it cursed me, causing the Taotie clan, generation after generation, to seek vengeance on me~~ tsk tsk, Demon King, I can feel that trace of a curse’s power from you,” Huang Xiaolong said cheerily.

“Hahahaha~~ Hahahaha~~ !!!!!!”

The Demon King roared to the sky, and immediately the heavens bled endlessly, a sight to behold.

Enormous demonic Qi swept across heaven and earth, daunting all directions, pushing everything before it!

“I’ve finally found you! Human! You killed my child! Today, I will devour you! I will eat you!”

The Demon King howled furiously.

The heavens mourned, and torrential rain fell as if even the sky was weeping.
