Chapter 495 - 277: King Wei Wu, Fierce Battle with the Purple-eyed Demon King
"Refreshing!"
Wei Fan stood in midair, unable to resist glancing at the panel!
[Slay Initial Realm Demon Fiend, gain 10 years of power]
[Slay Initial Realm Demon Fiend, gain 18 years of power]
[Slay Initial Realm Demon Fiend, gain 16 years of power]
...
[Ordinary Power: 510,000 years]
[Martial King’s Power: None]
The panel seemed on the verge of exploding, with hundreds or thousands of notifications in an instant. Although it was just a casual strike, fearing it might affect the Human Race’s army, he hadn’t even used one percent of his power.
But with just one strike, even if he only killed Initial Realm Demon Fiends, the enormous quantity resulted in an explosion of power over 300,000.
"This is way more lucrative than killing a Demon King!"
Slaying a Demon King, even after a day’s battle, only yields 50,000 years of power, but by slaughtering these ordinary Demon Fiends with just one percent of strength, he can immediately gain hundreds of thousands of years of power.
"Gathering an army to retaliate against me? To flatten the Dragon Kingdom? They’re delivering power to me!"
Wei Fan’s eyes burst with a terrifying gleam. He was already audacious, and now having become a Martial King, he cared nothing for the unspoken rule that Martial Kings should not massacre ordinary Demon Fiends wantonly.
More than a hundred thousand Demon fiends stood before him, practically delivering power.
Upon becoming a Martial King, his ordinary power had been insufficient. The Human King Bell hadn’t been promoted, the Profound Yellow Tripod could only be enhanced to a Basic Martial King Artifact, and the Jiaolong Sunset Bow and Tiger Soul Saber remained Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers due to lack of power.
"You beasts can take revenge, but can’t I?"
On the battlefield, Divine Realm Martial Sects engaged in fierce battles, Martial Venerates fought Demon Venerables, and the most chaotic scene occurred at the lower-end battlefield where Human Race and Demon Fiend armies clashed.
Dragon Kingdom deployed all the forces it could muster to Shuozhou, but under the Purple-eyed Demon King’s leadership, the Demon Fiend army’s numbers continuously swelled.
Spotting a Demon Fiend army still on the outskirts, not yet joining the fight, he sent a distant palm strike.
The next moment, seven or eight kilometers away, a Demon Fiend army of about ten thousand was erased from the ground, leaving a terrifying crater.
[Slay Initial Realm Demon Fiend, gain 18 years of power]
[Slay Initial Realm Demon Fiend, gain 16 years of power]
...
[Ordinary Power: 830,000 years]
[Martial King’s Power: None]
Wei Fan relished the rapid surge of power. Since gaining the panel, this was the first time he killed so freely.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t continue. The remaining Demon Fiends were entangled with Human Race soldiers, impossible to slaughter en masse.
"King Wei Wu is mighty!"
"Slaughter all these beasts!"
"Heaven bless our Human Race!"
Instantly, the Human Race soldiers’ morale soared.
The Jianghu rumors were indeed true. Wei Fan had become a Martial King powerhouse. It seemed that the one who slayed the Beidou Sword King was indeed Wei Fan.
A Martial King under twenty years old, such an anomaly hadn’t been heard of in the Wilderness for nearly ten thousand years. The Human Race having such an anomaly means they needn’t fear the Demon Fiends.
Following someone like him, perhaps one day they could exterminate all Demon Fiends in the Wilderness, allowing the Human Race to become the true masters of it.
"Brothers, charge!"
"Wei Fan’s arrival means he’s my good brother. Don’t embarrass me in front of him!"
"Haha... Wei Fan, I knew you would come!"
Situ Ying, Zhang Xianlong, Li Fengyi, Long Xueyi, each with ties to Wei Fan, became invigorated as though injected with adrenaline, boosting their combat prowess and charging fiercely into enemy lines.
In their eyes, as long as Wei Fan was present, no problem was insurmountable. Focusing on killing Demon Fiends was key; if they didn’t seize this chance to kill a few more now, there’d be none left to slay once Wei Fan went berserk.
"Slaughtering beings of lower realms as a Martial King, Wei Fan, you’re disgracing the face of King-level beings!"
Suddenly, a loud shout resonated across the sky, with a figure in the distance, resembling a Great Sun rising from the horizon, casting a grandiose silhouette that seemed to obscure the heavens.
This strange visual phenomenon caused a drastic change in the expressions of the Human Race soldiers.
Demon King!
Except for a Demon King powerhouse, a Martial Venerate’s appearance wouldn’t create such a scene.
Though Wei Fan had arrived, the Purple-eyed Demon King had also appeared. It seemed that a sky-shattering battle was imminent.
"This is my warning to you. If you wish to avenge on Wei Fan, you may come for me at any time. If you use ordinary civilians’ lives for revenge, I’ll ensure even more of you perish!"
Wei Fan’s eyes glinted with killing intent. The Martial King’s presence swept towards the Purple-eyed Demon King like a tidal wave, while his body swiftly pursued.
[Purple-eyed Demon King: Demon King First Layer, leader of the Purple-eyed Demon Lion clan, has long commanded Demon Fiends in massacring Human Race]
[Killing him grants 100,000 years of ordinary power, 100 years of Martial King’s power]
His Martial King’s power matched that of a Human Race Martial King, but the ordinary power was double that of a Human Race Martial King.
"Come over here and meet your death, I’ll send you to meet your son!"
Wei Fan took a step across the battlefield, traversing seven or eight miles through the air. With another step, the qi and blood rushing from his head tore through the sky, reaching above the clouds.
The aura of a Martial King surged like a storm, changing the colors of heaven and earth.
The Purple-eyed Demon King also charged from afar, splitting the clouds along his path, creating a gigantic chasm.
"You bastard, you clearly became a Martial King yet concealed your strength, harming my son. Today, I’ll sever your head to offer for my son’s soul!"
His hair danced wildly, demonic qi covering the sky, believing that during the battle at the Yunhua Sect, Wei Fan was already a Martial King powerhouse.
The Purple-eyed Demon King, though only at the Demon King First Layer, had been a Demon King for over a thousand years. However, under the influence of Dao Collapse, his cultivation had struggled to improve.
It’s known that for demons to reach the Dao is inherently more difficult than for the Human Race, and the oppression of Dao Collapse on these demons is even more intense than on the Human Race.
If the Purple-eyed Demon Lion race were in a normal world, their talent wouldn’t be much weaker than the Jiao Dragon race.
His purple eyes emitted a monstrous light, his killing intent unhidden.
Even when rallying his army to besiege Dragon Kingdom, to flatten the place of Wei Fan’s birth, he didn’t lower his Demon King identity to attack those human ants.
But once Wei Fan arrived, he disregarded martial integrity, ruthlessly slaughtering low-level demons.
"If you wish to slay me, your words alone aren’t enough!"
Wei Fan, like a bolt of lightning, tore through the void, instantly clashing with the Purple-eyed Demon King. His broad palm struck like a Buddha’s hand, twisting the void.
The Purple-eyed Demon King also struck with his palm, coming into direct confrontation with Wei Fan.
Boom!
In the deafening roar, the explosive power formed a destructive ripple, spreading from the two as its center.
Both combatants felt their palms go numb, involuntarily retreating.
"You’ve only just broken through, yet you have such power!"
The Purple-eyed Demon King’s aura was violent, his face full of shock.
But in the next moment, his tone turned: "Though you’re a prodigy, becoming a Martial King before twenty, with such limited strength you couldn’t have killed the Celestial Cyan Demon King, nor the Beidou Sword King. Tell me, who stands behind you?"
He had seen the Beidou Sword King and sparred with the Celestial Cyan Demon King several times.
Wei Fan’s strength indeed seemed fearsome, unlike someone who had just entered the Rank of Martial King, but with that amount of power alone, he couldn’t have killed the Celestial Cyan Demon King or the Beidou Sword King.
Wei Fan coldly snorted: "So self-assured, once I slice up your carcass for a dish of red-braised lion’s head, you’ll know whether or not I have the means to slay the Celestial Cyan Demon King!"
Even at Martial King First Layer, the Purple-eyed Demon King’s strength surpassed that of the Beidou Sword King and Celestial Cyan Demon King; his physical body and power far exceeded those two King-level experts.
But it was precisely because of this that the Purple-eyed Demon King doubted Wei Fan killed the Celestial Cyan Demon King, because even with the Purple-eyed Demon King’s power, he couldn’t kill the Celestial Cyan Demon King.
Boom!
Wei Fan halted his retreat, power striking the void, employing the Illusion Moon Body Technique. He charged once more at the Purple-eyed Demon King, his fist like a great sun crashing forward.
"Kill you, and see if the person behind you emerges!"
The Purple-eyed Demon King bellowed, his hair wildly flying: "Heaven-Supporting Demon King, what are you waiting for? Come and help slaughter this human demon!"
"Ha ha... Purple-eyed Demon King, you’re worthless too. A thousand years as a king, and you can’t suppress a mere newly advanced Martial King lad!"
A wild laugh rang out, as the Heaven-Supporting Demon King suddenly appeared in the void, unabashedly releasing a terrifying demon king aura, causing heaven and earth to shake.
"No, Wei Fan, quickly retreat!"
Long Xueyi shouted from a distance, not expecting only the Purple-eyed Demon King to appear, but even the Heaven-Supporting Demon King.
With the two demon kings joining forces, no matter how strong Wei Fan was, he couldn’t possibly be a match.
The Purple-eyed Demon King sneered: "Stop the chatter, take him on and you’ll see if he’s just a lad!"
He was crazily battling Wei Fan, engaging in the fiercest collision, realizing only through actual combat the terror of Wei Fan.
Even though he had been a king for a thousand years, he gained little advantage from such a clash.
He was a demon king, but Wei Fan was also a King through Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, his physical body no weaker than his.
"Are there more? Call out any other demon kings together!"
Wei Fan’s battle intent soared, his blood boiling, as just two demon kings were nothing to fear.
"Arrogant!" The Heaven-Supporting Demon King shouted, charging with terrifying momentum.
"Two against one, do you think our Human Race lacks Martial Kings?"
An imposing figure flew in from a distance, intercepting the Heaven-Supporting Demon King halfway.
These demon kings all had Human Race Martial Kings guarding them. Once they released their aura, the guarding Martial King would sense it and come to stop them.
Gao Wanfu!
One of the top three Demon Hunter Organization leaders, responsible for guarding against the Heaven-Supporting Demon King and the Purple-eyed Demon King, Gao Wanfu was such a Martial King who typically wouldn’t fight the demon kings; only when these demon kings attacked the Human Race would they appear to stop them.
"Gao Wanfu, you persistent wretch, wherever I go, you follow. You’ve shadowed me for eight hundred years like a dog-skin plaster!"
The Heaven-Supporting Demon King’s eyes turned red upon seeing Gao Wanfu, immediately disregarding Wei Fan, turning to engage Gao Wanfu instead.
He had been a king for eight hundred years, but whenever he approached the Human Race territories, Gao Wanfu would appear to duel him. For eight hundred years, he was driven nearly mad by Gao Wanfu, feeling imprisoned, restricted to the Demon Realm, unable to enter the Human Race regions.
"Damn it, kill Wei Fan first!"
The Purple-eyed Demon King cursed.
The Heaven-Supporting Demon King’s true form was a berserk demon ape, prone to losing reason. Originally given the chance to come first to join in besieging Wei Fan, Gao Wanfu’s appearance caused him to lose reason and turn to fight Gao Wanfu.
