694: I'm speechless!

Meanwhile, the Sky-Splitting Demon King, trapped in the center of the sword formation, watched the group outside fussing over Yao Delong with concern.

They were moved to tears of gratitude, yet they left him aside as if he were air. He was about to go crazy from the sheer frustration!

His blood-red demon eyes stared intently at the casually chatting Yao Delong, then shifted to Li Cen and the others, who looked on with ill intent. An indescribable feeling of stifled rage welled up in his heart.

'If you want to kill me or cut me up, just say it plainly!'

'What's the point of locking us up in this lousy formation?'

'Every second, this damned Sword Intent is stabbing into my brain, and I'm being watched like a monkey in a show!'

'A warrior can be killed but not insulted! Yao Delong! If you have the guts, let this King out for a duel!' Of course, he only dared to roar these words in his heart.

The dignified Sky-Splitting Demon King now looked like a prisoner locked in a cage awaiting sentencing.

His eyes were filled with human-like frustration, anger, and... a hint of fear toward his unknown fate.

After Li Cen finished exchanging pleasantries with everyone, his gaze finally fell back onto the massive yet pathetic figure at the center of the sword formation.

With a trace of disgust in his eyes, he asked in a deep voice:

"Delong, this a mythical beast is bloodthirsty by nature. It has occupied the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range for years, repeatedly invading our Human Race territories and slaughtering living beings. Now that it's captured, how do you intend to deal with it?"

Hearing this, a cold arc curled at the corner of Yao Delong's mouth. He intentionally raised his voice,

making sure the Sky-Splitting Demon King inside the sword formation could hear him clearly. His tone was nonchalant, yet it carried a chilling killing intent:

"Senior Martial Uncle is absolutely right. This beast is fierce and untamable; keeping it alive will only lead to trouble."

"It would be better to execute it on the spot and take its demon core, essence blood, bones, and fur... The body of a Tenth Rank Peak Demon King is a treasure from head to toe."

"It's enough to refine several powerful Magic Treasures, which can be considered collecting some interest for the lives of those who died unjustly under its claws."

"Kill... Kill it to refine treasures?!"

Yao Delong's words were like a cold wind from the Nine Netherworld, instantly blowing into the Sky-Splitting Demon King's ears!

The cold words "execute on the spot" and "refine Magic Treasures" smashed into his demon heart like a heavy hammer!

All his previous frustration and anger were instantly replaced by a bone-chilling cold and massive fear!

"No! You can't kill me!"

The Sky-Splitting Demon King's massive body trembled violently. No longer caring about his dignity as a Demon King, he let out a hoarse roar, his voice filled with obvious panic.

"My Old Ancestor is the famous 'Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor' of the Demon Domain! He possesses the True Hou Bloodline and is already a Integration Realm powerhouse!"

"If you dare to kill me, in his rage, he will surely wash the borders of the Eastern Region in blood to avenge me! You cannot withstand the wrath of a Demon Emperor!"

He shouted with bluster while inwardly trembling, attempting to use his ultimate backer to intimidate them.

"Oh?"

The coldness on Yao Delong's face instantly turned into blatant mockery. He tilted his head slightly,

his gaze piercing through the sword formation like a sharp sword and stabbing into the Sky-Splitting Demon King's face. "Are you... threatening my Yin Yang Sect?"

Boom!

These words were like a clap of thunder, instantly exploding in the Sky-Splitting Demon King's chaotic mind!

Threatening the Yin Yang Sect?!!

His blood-red pupils shrank violently, and a massive fear submerged him like a cold tide!

He had been so blinded by the fear of death that he actually forgot who this fiend was and what stood behind him!

The Yin Yang Sect! A top-tier immortal sect of the Eastern Region! With a Legacy spanning eons, its foundations were unfathomably deep! There was more than one Integration Realm powerhouse guarding the sect!

There were even legends of Mahayana Stage Old Ancestors cultivating in seclusion within its Secret Realms!

It was a colossus that even the high-and-mighty 'Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor' he mentioned would be somewhat wary of!

He was just a minor Demon King with thin Bloodline who didn't even rank in the eyes of the Demon Emperor Old Ancestor. If he died, he died!

How could the Demon Emperor Old Ancestor go to war with a giant like the Yin Yang Sect for his sake? That would be no different from inviting disaster upon himself!

Having realized this fatal relationship, the last sliver of hope in the Sky-Splitting Demon King's heart completely shattered!

An indescribable despair and a desire to survive instantly overwhelmed everything else!

Thud!

To everyone's astonishment, the Sky-Splitting Demon King, who had just tried to use the Demon Emperor's name as a threat, suddenly collapsed to his knees with his mountain-like body!

The hard rocky ground was smashed into spider-web-like cracks!

His massive head lowered deeply, almost prostrating on the ground. His voice trembled, filled with unprecedented humility and pleading:

"Immortal Master Yao! High Immortal Yao! This small demon knows his mistake! I was blind to have offended your immortal majesty!"

"I beg the Immortal Master to be magnanimous and spare this small demon's lowly life! I am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse, as your slave or servant!"

"Whatever the Immortal Master commands, I will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire without hesitation! I am willing to offer all the rare treasures I've accumulated over the years to the Immortal Master!"

This dramatic scene left Hall Master Li and the others watching from the side dumbfounded. They looked at each other with complex expressions.

"He... He just knelt like that?"

"A Tenth Rank Demon King... Late Void Refining Stage... His backbone is that soft?"

"I thought he would rather die than submit and fight to the death..."

"Sigh, it's just survival instinct. Faced with absolute power and background, even a Demon King cowers."

Whispers broke out. The gaze everyone directed at the Sky-Splitting Demon King was filled with disdain as well as a hint of pity. For a dignified Demon King to fall to such a state...

How could the Sky-Splitting Demon King care about others' opinions now? He only knew that this was his only chance to live!

While piteously begging for mercy, he hurriedly circulated his demon power, dumping everything out from the massive Storage Ring on his hand!

Spiritual light flickered! Various Heaven-Grade Weapon-tier Magic Treasures emitting powerful fluctuations, mountains of precious spiritual ores, and glowing thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines... they piled up before him like a small hill, a dazzling array of treasures overflowing with light! It showed that he had indeed plundered countless years of collections.

Suddenly, the Sky-Splitting Demon King's blood-red eyes darted around as if he had remembered a life-saving straw! He whipped his head back and made a grab in the air with his massive claw!

"Roar!" The Savage Demon Green Dragon, who had been hiding in the back and trembling with fear, was caught off guard and hauled over by a massive force!

"You idiot! Quick! Bring out that Jade Slip fragment of 'Herbal Path Comprehension' you got from the Pill Venerable's Immortal Cave! Offer it! Offer it to Immortal Master Yao!"

The Sky-Splitting Demon King roared urgently, his spit nearly spraying onto the green dragon's face.

The Savage Demon Green Dragon's Soul was Flying Away and its Spirit Scattering in fear. It had previously dared to challenge Yao Delong, but now it finally understood the heaven-and-earth difference between them!

Even the Demon King it regarded as a god had knelt! How could it dare to hesitate for a second?

"Yes... Yes! Lord Demon King! Im... Immortal Master!"

Shaking, the Green Dragon hurriedly and carefully brought out an ancient Jade Slip from its personal Storage Pouch. It was entirely green and flowed with a rich aura of life.

With its head lowered and hands held high above its head, it respectfully offered the Jade Slip, its voice trembling:

"Immortal Master... This... this is a fragment of 'Herbal Path Comprehension'... it... it is said to contain the secrets of creation and vitality... Please... please accept it, Immortal Master!"

Like a loyal dog wagging its tail for pity, the Sky-Splitting Demon King looked expectantly at Yao Delong, his massive blood-red pupils full of anticipation and fawning,

and even carrying a hint of seeking credit, as if saying: 'Immortal Master! Look! I have more good things to offer you!'
