Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Obstinate and Unenlightened

Kong He clasped his hands over his ears, screaming miserably, as cold sweat dripped down his forehead like beans.

His face was ashen, long stripped of his former command and dominance.

At this moment, he was no Phoenix Son, just a loser, a thorough and utter loser.

Abject and disheveled!

Hong Li felt an icy cold penetrating her bones.

She absentmindedly touched the blood splattered on her face, as if trying to verify if what she saw was real or an illusion.

"No, it can’t be, how dare he! How dare he!"

Hong Li shook her head vigorously, completely losing the sharpness she usually had.

Bai Qianjiao was also dumbfounded.

But in her eyes, there was a hint of fascination.

Once at the Martial Arts Festival, that boy was also so arrogant and domineering, and full of unmatched might.

She suddenly felt that she might have truly underestimated Ling Xiao.

Recall that at that Martial Arts Festival, Ling Xiao dared to argue face to face with the Sacred Emperor in front of so many martial artists of Heavenly Dragon Continent, showing no respect whatsoever.

How could such a person be afraid of a Peacock Princess?

"Is this for real?"

Sha Tong Tian was jolted with a start, looking towards Ling Xiao with terror.

He wasn’t worried about how Ling Xiao would deal with him, but he was concerned about the Peacock Princess having trouble in the Magic Capital of the True Demon Empire, someone cutting off his ears—how could he explain this to the Peacock Clan?

To give an account to the Phoenix God Empire?

After all, the current strength of the True Demon Empire was truly no match to the Phoenix God Empire. Once they offended the Phoenix God Empire, even the Yin-Yang Demon King wouldn’t be able to prevent the collapse of the True Demon Empire, right?

"You really dared to touch him?"

Sha Tong Tian looked at Ling Xiao furiously.

At this moment, he seemed to still be unclear about the situation.

Instead of worrying about the Phoenix God Empire’s retribution afterward, it would be better to think about how to survive Ling Xiao’s wrath next.

Perhaps he doesn’t yet know what state the True Demon Empire has been reduced to now.

He looked at Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao looked back at him.

Of all those present, only this Sha Tong Tian was the strongest and now the biggest enemy.

After all, Jiao Batian had already been controlled by him, and the Yin-Yang Demon King was nowhere to be found. As long as Sha Tong Tian could be eliminated and Magic Capital taken, it would probably be very easy.

In the wars of the Mysterious World, it’s often not the quantity of the armies that matters, but the strength of the strong on one side.

Such was the war where the True Demon Empire destroyed the Sacred Dynasty!

The same was true for the war in the Northern Desert!

And today’s war initiated by Ling Xiao is still the same.

If it wasn’t for the Moon Lady’s support, and the Grand Holy Emperor leading the army of the Northern Han Kingdom to attack the True Demon Empire.

Ling Xiao would really not do what he is now.

Because even with a hundred thousand troops, they are no match for a Yin-Yang Demon King.

"First Demon General? Haha, without the Yin-Yang Demon King and the Lightning Demon King, I’m afraid your title as the True Demon Empire’s First Demon General won’t last long. How about surrendering? Go back to the Stormy Ocean, return to your lair, so we can both avoid hurting each other."

Ling Xiao looked indifferently at Sha Tong Tian, making a final effort for peace.

War isn’t so easy, you know. Behind every war, there is inevitably a massive death toll, including civilians and soldiers.

If it’s possible to peacefully drive out the Sea Race or integrate them, Ling Xiao isn’t opposed to it.

Although he is domineering in his actions, he is not an outright tyrant, after all.

Sha Tong Tian didn’t speak; he was contemplating.

Contemplating how to respond to Ling Xiao’s question.

It was not an easy question to answer.

Once answered incorrectly, it could lead to a fate of decapitation.

"Sha Tong Tian, if you dare surrender, our Peacock Clan won’t let you off, remember that! Hahaha, Ling Xiao, if you have the guts, kill me; otherwise, I’ll make sure you get what’s coming to you!

You! As well as all the people by your side, you’ll all have to die!"

While Sha Tong Tian was pondering the question, Kong He let out a hysterical roar.

"Hahaha, you don’t dare kill me, you know the disaster it would bring if you did, you’re scared!"

Watching Kong He quietly, Ling Xiao started to wonder if he had misheard something. In this day and age, people beg for mercy, so why would there be people like this who seemed to be seeking death?

"First Demon General, our Sea Race army numbers over a million, with the Yin-Yang Demon King in command. Do you really think we would fear a mere Ling Xiao? No matter what, Ling Xiao must die, or else, we won’t be able to answer to the Peacock Clan, we won’t be able to answer to the Phoenix God Empire."

Hong Li also said loudly, her eyes red with fury.

"An army of over a million? Haha, I’m afraid at least six hundred thousand are fake troops, aren’t they? Some are afraid of death; others are merely compromising. Do you really think they will faithfully serve your Sea Race?

Do you know why I could enter so easily today? It’s because they helped me!

As for the Yin-Yang Demon King?

I’m afraid by now, he is too scared to show up, right? The Lightning Demon King was killed by me in front of so many people; didn’t you see that?

If you didn’t see it, you should have asked around, or else you wouldn’t be so foolish as to provoke me to my face today, would you?

Moreover, I might as well tell you that Jiao Lie, the City Lord of Lanton City, and Jiao Mo, the City Lord of Modu City, have both been dealt with by me.

Lanton City has already been taken over by the Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly; if you are waiting for reinforcements to come, then don’t even bother dreaming.

Also, that Ou Yang Wen from the Tian Li Meng has also been killed by me; the Heavenly Principle Country has already fallen into my hands.

With the Northern Han Kingdom and Heavenly Principle Country allied against the True Demon Empire, and with the turncoat troops, do you think you still stand a chance?"

"No! You’re spouting nonsense, you must be spouting nonsense!"

Hong Li shook her head; she could not believe this was true, how could Ling Xiao be so terrifying, so formidable.

"Believe it or not, that’s up to you. As for Kong He, Peacock Princess? Do you really think that’s such a grand title?"

Ling Xiao disdainfully said: "I’m not afraid to tell you that I’ve already had a fallout with the Divine Phoenix Emperor, and it was the Hidden Mountain Reserve Monarch who granted me the title of King of Heavenly Dragon this time, so don’t try to pressure me with the Divine Phoenix Emperor. The dirty dealings he’s done behind the scenes, I haven’t even gone to him to settle accounts, and I’m already giving him face!

And you dare mention him to me?

You say my title of King of Heavenly Dragon was given by someone else and can be taken away at any time.

Yes, you’re quite right about that, so, I might as well just conquer the Heavenly Dragon Continent and establish a new nation, a new force. What do you think the Divine Phoenix Emperor will do then?

Would he make an enemy of my country? Would he risk getting sandwiched between the Black Crow Empire and us and tackle me?

Kong He, oh Kong He, you think too highly of yourself. In the eyes of the truly powerful, you’re just a minor character, barely worth a mention.

When you die, I can assure you the Divine Phoenix Emperor won’t do a thing for you, at most, maybe organize a memorial service.

Also, your Peacock Clan will become divided internally and might even completely collapse, getting kicked out of the noble circles of the Phoenix God Empire.

You are aware, aren’t you? Many middle-ranked nobles are eyeing this juicy piece of meat, just waiting for your clan to make a mistake."
