74: Be my mount, or die!
"Where are you going?"
The Golden Lion Emperor spoke in human tongue, his tone full of mockery.
The remaining Grandmasters of the Great Qian Dynasty immediately turned pale.
They felt an oppressive aura from this lion that was even stronger than True Lord Qingfeng.
This indicated that the strength of this Demon was considerably greater than that of the fallen True Lord Qingfeng.
"Oh no, it's the Golden Lion Emperor from Thousand Demon Cave, run!"
Li Yan's face changed drastically, and he shouted at the crowd.
The crowd, hearing this, snapped out of their daze and scattered in different directions.
This was not an entity they could possibly contend with.
Every Demon Emperor of Thousand Demon Cave was several times stronger than the True Lords of Jin Yang Cave.
Even if True Lord Qingfeng were still alive, he would flee upon seeing the Golden Lion Emperor.
"Hehe, I heard you say you were going to Thousand Demon Cave. How about I, the Emperor, take you there?" The Golden Lion Emperor revealed a mocking smile.
He still slowly descended the hill, seemingly in no hurry to make a move.
However, the Rhinoceros Demon and Leopard Demon beside him shot out in two different directions.
They chased after the fleeing Grandmasters of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Li Yan's heart was filled with anxiety.
He wondered what bad luck he had today to encounter a Demon Emperor from Thousand Demon Cave.
"Song Ming, let's go, escape first, this Demon Emperor's strength is much greater than Li Qingfeng's!" Li Yan reminded him.
Song Ming, however, was unfazed and remained calmly standing in place.
He spoke to the Golden Lion Emperor, "I happen to need a mount for my trip to Thousand Demon Cave, and you're quite suitable!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion Emperor paused, his sharp gaze fixed on Song Ming.
"Are you talking to me, the Emperor?"
"Otherwise? Besides you, is there any other Demon present who could barely serve as my mount?" Song Ming retorted.
"You speak with great arrogance. Even the True Lords of Jin Yang Cave wouldn't dare speak to me like that. I haven't seen you before, are you from Qinglu Mountain?" The Golden Lion Emperor narrowed his eyes, his expression unfriendly.
"I am Song Ming, an Inspector of the Great Qian Dynasty, ordered to slay Demons. If you are willing to be my mount, I can spare your life!" Song Ming said with a smile.
Roar!
The Golden Lion Emperor was utterly enraged.
As the Demon Emperor of the thirty-fourth cave in Thousand Demon Cave, he had never been so humiliated by a junior.
Boom.
The ground beneath the Golden Lion Emperor's feet immediately caved in.
At the same time, his figure vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Song Ming.
Then he lashed out with a claw, aiming directly for Song Ming's head.
Bang!
However, this powerful and heavy claw was casually caught by Song Ming.
Having cast the Celestial God Incantation, his Physique, defense, and strength attributes all surpassed 80,000.
This meant that his physical prowess at this moment completely overpowered the Golden Lion Emperor before him.
The powerful Physique that Demons prided themselves on was nothing but a joke in front of Song Ming!
"You... how is this possible!"
The Golden Lion Emperor tried to retract his lion claw, but despite using all his strength, he couldn't break free from Song Ming's tight grip.
"Why not possible?"
Song Ming revealed a faint smile, then suddenly exerted force with his right hand.
He directly swung the Golden Lion Emperor away.
With a thud.
The Golden Lion Emperor crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater.
He lay at the bottom of the pit, clearly dazed by the impact, unable to get up for a long time.
While the Golden Lion Emperor was still down.
Song Ming's figure again vanished from his spot, appearing the next moment in front of the Rhinoceros Demon.
He shattered the single horn on its head with a single punch.
Another punch directly slammed this Demon to the ground.
The Rhinoceros Demon still wanted to get up.
Song Ming didn't give him a chance, directly stomping on his head, blowing it apart.
Immediately after, he instantly appeared in front of the Leopard Demon.
The latter, after seeing the Rhinoceros Demon so easily slain, showed fear on his face.
Without thinking, he turned and ran.
However, before he could run a few steps, Song Ming had already appeared in front of him.
The Leopard Demon's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
His speed was among the fastest even among Demons.
Who would have thought that this human in front of him was even faster!
"My King, save me!"
The Leopard Demon felt fear from a human for the first time.
However, this fear did not last long.
A halo emanating a decaying aura suddenly descended upon his head.
He immediately felt his life force rapidly draining away, and even his strength began to weaken.
He could clearly feel that his current strength was not even comparable to that of an ordinary adult male!
"You... what did you do to me?"
Song Ming smiled, then looked at the Grandmasters of the Great Qian Dynasty nearby, "This Leopard Demon is yours!"
The Grandmasters looked at each other, not understanding what was happening for a moment.
It wasn't until they saw that the Leopard Demon, who had just been chasing them, was now running so slowly.
And he looked very weak.
One Grandmaster, seeing this, mustered his courage and charged towards the Leopard Demon.
Then he punched the Leopard Demon in the abdomen.
Although it was just a test, that Grandmaster used all his strength.
As a result, the Leopard Demon was directly sent flying over ten meters by this blow.
He lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"Oh my!" That Grandmaster still couldn't believe that he had so easily sent a Grandmaster-level Demon flying.
The other Grandmasters, seeing this, also no longer hesitated.
They all made their moves and rushed towards the Leopard Demon!
...
Song Ming then walked in front of the Golden Lion Emperor, rubbing his wrists and saying, "Be my mount, or die!"
The Golden Lion Emperor climbed out of the pit, spat, and said, "Bah, you dream of me, the Emperor, being your mount!"
"Hmph, so there's nothing to discuss then!"
Song Ming leaped out suddenly, and with another punch, knocked the Golden Lion Emperor to the ground.
The Golden Lion Emperor had thought about resisting, but this human's strength was simply too great.
He couldn't parry at all.
Before he could get up.
Song Ming came before him again, pressing his massive lion head back to the ground.
Then he punched down.
Bang!
Blood splattered!
Another small pit was created in the ground beneath the Golden Lion Emperor.
"Human, I, the Emperor, will absolutely..."
Bang!
Before the Golden Lion Emperor could finish his sentence, Song Ming delivered another punch.
He only felt a dizzying sensation, and blood continuously flowed from his face.
Song Ming ignored him and continued punching.
In just a dozen seconds, he had thrown hundreds of punches.
Even the demonic body of the Golden Lion Emperor was beaten to a pulp.
He could barely speak!
"Will you or won't you? If not, I'll keep hitting!"
Song Ming stopped his actions and asked.
The Golden Lion Emperor's entire head was a mess at this point, and he realized that if this continued, he would truly die.
So, he struggled to speak.
And then he took another punch!
"Not speaking, huh? It seems you haven't been hit enough!"
Song Ming hadn't encountered such a stubborn one in a long time. If it weren't for needing this Demon to provide him with information.
He would have instantly killed him long ago, why wait until now.
However, this lion Demon's head was truly tough.
Bang bang bang!
Song Ming delivered another ten or so punches in a row.
"Do you submit?"
Golden Lion Emperor: "..."
"Still not speaking? It seems you still don't submit!"
Song Ming sighed, suddenly feeling that this lion had quite a backbone.
As he raised his fist, about to strike down again.
A series of broken sounds came from the Golden Lion Emperor's mouth.
"St-stop hitting me... I sub-submit... I really submit!"
