307: Instantly annihilated three rhinoceroses! The shameless Azure Rhinoceros Demon King!

This sudden surge of saber and sword Qi caused the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's descending giant palm to freeze in mid-air.

The yellow light on its single horn flickered violently, and for the first time, its massive body tensed uncontrollably.

Its giant eyes scanned the surroundings in horror, trying to find the source of this terrifying "Intent Domain."

"Who is it?!"

"Who dares to play tricks on my territory?! Come out!" it roared, its voice rolling like thunder, yet unable to hide a trace of shock and suspicion.

The Black-Robed Demon Emissary's reaction was even more intense.

The moment the Blade and Sword Divine charm descended, the shadow tentacles surging around him shrank violently and dissipated, letting out a "chi chi" wail of sorrow.

He jerked his head up, the ghostly light beneath his hood flickering frantically. His raspy voice, filled with unbelievable horror, cried out:

"Saber Intent solidified, Sword Domain born of its own accord... The convergence of saber and sword, the resonance of divine charm..."

"This, this is... Li Shengyuan's 'Blade and Sword Divine Domain'?! Impossible! How could he be here?!"

The three words "Li Shengyuan" were like a thunderclap, striking hard into the hearts of the Green Rhinoceros Demon King and Long Yun!

The Green Rhinoceros Demon King shook violently, the ferocious and triumphant expression on its face instantly replaced by boundless shock and fury.

Li Shengyuan!

That peerless, ferocious man who rose like a comet and had even slain a Demon Venerable, his fearsome reputation intimidating the whole world!

How could he possibly appear silently in the depths of its own royal palace?!

Long Yun was completely stunned, her cherry lips slightly parted, her mind a total blank.

Li Shengyuan?

The Li Shengyuan whom she regarded as a Prodigy of the Human Race and even felt a yearning to challenge?

How... how could he suddenly appear here?

Long Yun was momentarily dazed, looking around to find Li Shengyuan's figure, but she couldn't see anyone... However... before they could recover from this earth-shattering truth, a sudden change occurred!

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

Three dull explosions sounded almost simultaneously!

The three Third-grade Rhinoceros Demon generals, who had been surrounding the battlefield from a distance and watching like tigers, didn't even have time to fully display their terrified expressions before their bodies suddenly contracted inward and then... exploded!

A mist of blood mixed with fragments of flesh and bone sprayed out, and a thick, pungent scent immediately filled the air.

Three Third-grade Great Demons of considerable strength, who could be considered regional powerhouses in the Demon Domain, were crushed into powder without any resistance under the cover of this silent Blade and Sword Divine charm!

They couldn't even let out a single scream!

This thunderous yet eerily silent instant kill completely shattered the last bit of luck in the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's heart... "Li Shengyuan!!!"

The Green Rhinoceros Demon King's eyes nearly split from rage as it let out a roar mixed with heartache, anger, and fear.

Those three generals were its trusted subordinates!

Its massive body trembled slightly with rage, the yellow light on its single horn surged frantically, yet it didn't dare to strike easily again.

It only stared fixedly at the invisible, intangible, yet omnipresent Blade and Sword Domain, shouting with hollow bravado:

"Li Shengyuan! You dare to sneak into our Yao Race's territory, commit murder in my Green Rhinoceros Royal City, and slaughter my Yao Race generals!"

"Aren't... aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and triggering a war between our two races?!"

"This is the Demon Domain ruled by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor! How can a member of the Human Race be so insolent here!"

These sharp and stern rebukes sounded absolutely absurd to Long Yun, who was standing nearby, nearly making her laugh out of anger.

Just moments ago, the Green Rhinoceros Demon King was accusing the Dragon Emperor and conspiring with the Demon Cult to overthrow her rule.

Now, facing a powerful enemy, he immediately brought up the Dragon Emperor's name as a shield, trying to use righteousness to suppress others?

As expected of an old rhinoceros; such thick-skinned behavior was simply unprecedented!

Just then, the Blade and Sword Divine charm permeating heaven and earth shifted slightly, and a tall, upright figure seemed to condense from the void.

He quietly appeared not far in front of Long Yun, standing exactly between her and the Green Rhinoceros Demon King and the Black-Robed Demon Emissary.

The moonlight fell, illuminating his face.

It was still that ordinary and gentle face of "Alias for Li Shengyuan."

But now, in those deep eyes, there was no longer any of the helplessness or compromise of the past.

In its place was an indifference as if looking down at ants, along with a trace of unmasked, cold mockery.

Li Shengyuan gently brushed his non-existent sleeves, as if crushing three ants just now was a trivial matter.

He looked up, his calm gaze falling on the face of the exasperated and terrified Green Rhinoceros Demon King. A faint, half-smile curled his lips, and his voice rang clearly throughout the area:

"Oh? His Majesty the Dragon Emperor?"

He intentionally drew out his words, the sarcasm in his tone like the sharpest of needles.

"Just now, I seemed to hear a certain 'loyal subject' accusing the Dragon Emperor of being 'unjust,' complaining about the 'constraints' of the new policies, and declaring an intention to be 'unfaithful'."

"Even triumphantly claiming to use His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's 'Little Highness' as a sacrifice for the flag, to taste the flavor of her essence blood..."

With every word he spoke, the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's face darkened a shade, and its massive body involuntarily took half a step back.

"How?"

The smile on Li Shengyuan's face deepened, but his eyes grew colder. "One moment you're cursing your master for being unjust, and the next, after getting hit, you remember to pull out your master's name as a tiger's skin, hoping your master will back you up?"

He shook his head and let out an unceremonious sneer:

"Green Rhinoceros, you are at least a Second-Rank Demon King who has ruled a region for centuries. The way you've Cultivated your thick skin... it's even sturdier than your demon body!"

"This ability to flip your face faster than turning a page, this shamelessness, has truly opened my eyes."

"You..." The Green Rhinoceros Demon King's face turned purple with rage from this merciless mockery.

Fury nearly burst through the top of its head, yet it was so oppressed by the omnipresent Blade and Sword Divine charm that it could hardly breathe, feeling so stifled it almost spat blood.

Behind Li Shengyuan, Long Yun, who had been in deep despair...

Looking at the back in front of her, which wasn't particularly broad, and listening to those razor-sharp words that completely tore away the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's hypocritical mask, the cold despair in her heart rapidly melted.

It was replaced by an indescribably complex emotion... shock, lingering fear, realization, and... a trace of peace and flutter of excitement that had quietly sprouted, which she hadn't even noticed herself.

So he is Li Shengyuan... He really is as powerful as the rumors say, so... reassuring.

Long Yun never expected that her first meeting with the Human Race Prodigy she had been thinking about would be in such a scene.

No, they had met long ago, except he wasn't called Li Shengyuan then.

Thinking of her own embarrassed state during their interactions over the past few days, Long Yun felt both ashamed and awkward, her face instantly flushing a deep red... Li Shengyuan paid no more attention to the trembling Green Rhinoceros Demon King.

He stood with his hands behind his back, turning his gaze toward the silent but tense Black-Robed Demon Emissary, who was as if facing a great enemy. His tone was flat but carried an unquestionable authority:

"As for you... a bug of the Demon Cult. This Seat has been looking for your Cult Leader for a long time. Since we've met here, don't even think about leaving."

"Tell me everything you know about the deal between your Cult Leader and Green Rhinoceros, and all your arrangements in the Demon Domain."

He paused and added, "Perhaps, This Seat can let you die... a bit more quickly."
