Chapter 1389: The Battle Begins
As No Thought Demon King spoke, the Blood Empress Demon King’s faint smile vanished.
Her killing intent surged sharper than ever.
“Go back with you? How dare you, No Thought, even suggest such a thing?”
Her words dripped with searing mockery.
The scoundrels of Blood Demon City, onlookers from various factions, and the newly arrived army all showed a flicker of surprise.
They sensed an undercurrent in the air.
“Does the Blood Empress Demon King have some grudge with the Boundless Demon Sect?”
“Hahaha, you’re all so clueless! She was an outcast from the Boundless Demon Sect.”
“…”
Most Demon Sages and above from the factions knew of her enmity with the Boundless Demon Sect. As whispers spread, understanding dawned on the others’ faces.
“No wonder she dared such a rebellion. She’d already burned that bridge. Now her choice makes sense.”
“No Thought Demon King recruiting her? Impossible at this point.”
Amid the chatter, the Blood Empress Demon King’s aura peaked.
Her energy locked onto No Thought Demon King.
“Let me be clear. I claimed Blood Demon City and declared it mine because I fear no Boundless Demon Sect! I despise your hypocrisy. If you’ve got the guts, slaughter everyone here! As long as I live, Blood Demon City remains mine—forever!”
Her expression was resolute, her fighting spirit ablaze.
Huh?
Wasn’t this dragging Blood Demon City’s countless souls into a pit?
Before the scoundrels could tremble, her gaze swept the skyward armies.
“Heavenly Fist Demon Sect, Demon Blade Sect, Lone Star Demon Sect… Very well. Since you’ve followed the Boundless Demon Sect to wage war here, I’ll pay each of you a visit in the future!”
Endless killing intent radiated from her.
The named sects’ powerhouses paled, fear creeping in.
These were factions below Demon King level, at best half-step Demon Kings. How could they not dread her?
Fear rippled through the armies, yet their killing intent hardened, their resolve to crush her here intensifying.
“Blood Empress Demon King, you remain stubborn. I have nothing more to say.”
No Thought Demon King sighed faintly, then waved a hand at the armies behind him.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“…”
Deafening cries erupted. Led by Demon Kings and Demon Generals, they charged the demonic cultivators of Blood Demon City.
After the hour she’d given, those who stayed were her subordinates—fair game for annihilation.
A figure appeared beside Su Jingzhen.
Mo Xuantian, who’d revealed himself earlier!
No Thought Demon King and the others felt a chill.
They’d come armed with intelligence—Su Jingzhen had a Demon King follower. Yet even No Thought, eighth among the Ten Great Demon Kings, hadn’t detected Mo Xuantian’s arrival. Unease stirred within him.
He’d come to control the situation, but Su Jingzhen’s unpredictability unsettled him.
“You don’t need to fight. Protect me when the time comes, and we’ll escape. Their lineup’s too strong. Even at full strength, we’re no match.”
Su Jingzhen spoke to Mo Xuantian, who nodded silently.
A battle puppet under the Ancient Heaven Demon King, Mo Xuantian had gained consciousness and reached Demon King level. Yet among Demon Kings, he was mid-to-low tier. Facing over a dozen, including No Thought, he knew he couldn’t win and he could only ensure Su Jingzhen’s retreat.
“Blood Empress Demon King, save us!”
“Their forces are overwhelming! We can’t hold. Let’s retreat and return later!”
The thousands who’d charged skyward with her, fueled by hot-bloodedness, now panicked, pleading for rescue.
They hadn’t anticipated this.
The Blood Empress Demon King ignored them. Her aura hit its zenith.
A strange, blood-red flower condensed in the void, exuding a potent aura that enveloped No Thought Demon King.
It spun rapidly, drifting toward him with formidable power.
No Thought raised an eyebrow, his expression hardening. Even as eighth among the Ten Great Demon Kings, he couldn’t take her full-force strike lightly.
His aura flared. With a hand seal, a golden-winged roc of energy formed, charging the flower.
“Screech!”
A sharp cry rang out as the roc’s wings slashed like blades, striking the flower.
Energy exploded. The flower shattered instantly, while the roc pressed toward the Blood Empress Demon King, its power unabated.
One exchange revealed the gap!
She drew a sharp breath. She’d given her all, yet couldn’t match No Thought. The disparity was clear. After this test, prolonging the fight was pointless.
Her grudge with the Boundless Demon Sect would be settled—later.
Her gaze flicked to Su Jingzhen, giving a slight nod.
Several Demon Kings closed in on him.
A faint smile curved his lips.
“It’s time to go!”
