230: Chapter 230
The Little Fairy Doctor hovered in the air, continuously releasing massive amounts of poisonous gas from her body; her Cultivation was not originally very high, so, relatively speaking, the impact was not that significant.
Moreover, as long as she charged into the Demon Race army and stood there, she could exert a massive deterrent force on the surrounding few hundred meters.
Even a Ninth-Level Demon King could not last more than ten minutes under her poisonous gas attack and would decisively choose to retreat.
The thick, poisonous fog provided the Little Fairy Doctor with perfect cover, making it very difficult for those Demon Race members who wanted to take countermeasures to find her tracks.
However, there was a major drawback: the released poisonous gas did not distinguish between friend and foe, which made the Little Fairy Doctor dare not recklessly expand the range.
Ao Wuming was killing with abandon, having already slain two Demon Race Protectors and three Seventh-Rank Devil Kings.
“Refreshing! This is what a real fight looks like. I was really stifled just now.”
Seeing this, the Bull Demon Emperor roared loudly at Ao Wuming, “Gravity Suppression! Get down here!”
“What's going on?”
Ao Wuming's body was completely out of control, falling rapidly. The Bull Demon Emperor shoved forward with force, sending Ao Wuming flying a hundred meters away and smashing a large hole through the thick city wall.
“The new Dragon Emperor is nothing much. I thought he was stronger than that.”
A glob of black slime struck, temporarily trapping the Bull Demon Emperor, and Ao Wuming charged out from the ruins.
“Big stupid bull, you've pissed me off.”
The Bull Demon Emperor stomped his foot hard, and Gui Jianchou was immediately forced to reveal his true form.
“Come out, little ghost, stop playing pretend. We are old acquaintances; I didn't expect you to have become the leader of the Ghost Race when we met again.”
“Your luck is good, but your strength is lacking.”
“Considering our past acquaintance, take your army and leave quickly, and I will not make things difficult for you anymore.”
“Now that the Flame Demon Ruler is dead, the Demon Race will be completely under my control. Why go to such great lengths and make such a big scene?”
Gui Jianchou was somewhat tempted by the olive branch extended by the Bull Demon Emperor. He also knew clearly that even if he joined forces with Ao Wuming, they could not defeat the Bull Demon Emperor, who had Emperor Realm Cultivation.
In his impression, the Bull Demon Emperor had always been honest and straightforward, not good at schemes or tricks. Since the Demon Capital was under attack by outsiders, it was perfectly understandable for him, as a member of the Demon Race, to come and support it.
As for the news of the Flame Demon Ruler's death, it remained to be verified; it could not be ruled out that it was a delaying tactic by the Bull Demon Emperor.
“Since Brother Bull has this idea, we can cease fire for one hour. If it is confirmed that the Flame Demon Ruler is dead, I will naturally consider your suggestion.”
“Sure, this old bull is a reasonable person.”
At the Bull Demon Emperor's command, all the Bull Demons stopped their attack, and Ao Wuming and Gui Jianchou also issued orders to cease fire.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and dark clouds blotted out the sun as if the apocalypse had arrived. A storm carrying red lightning swept down, filled with immense pressure.
“Absurd. Do you think you can negotiate for peace without my, Yan Ding's, consent?”
A treasure sword over forty meters long poked out from above the clouds, and Yan Ding appeared in the air with over a thousand Disciples, flying on their swords.
Following that, they parted the clouds to reveal the clear sky; the entrance of the Cultivators was indeed full of flair.
At this moment, Xiao Bai had already led the Wasp army to the outskirts of the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, he first ordered the army to lie in ambush and wait to see how things developed.
“The Bull Demon is an ally of Dreamscape Mountain; why have you defected on the battlefield?”
“Now that the Flame Demon Ruler is dead, as long as I nod, you will be the ruler of the Demon Race. Why ruin your own future?”
The Bull Demon Emperor was in a dilemma. Just moments ago, he had vowed to reach a peace agreement with Gui Jianchou, but now that Yan Ding had arrived in person, he was surely here to seek justice for the fallen Disciples.
Both Ao Wuming and Gui Jianchou had been stained with the blood of Sword Immortals and were die-hard followers of Xiao Bai, so Yan Ding would naturally not let them off.
With just a single glance, the Disciples beside him began to set up a formation, ready for battle at any moment.
“Immortal, you should have come out earlier. Just now, this old bull had already reached an agreement with the little ghost; in principle, we had already turned swords into plowshares.”
“If I go back on my word now, how will this old bull be able to mix in the Lower Realm in the future? Immortal Hua Hong and the Demonic Lord are both dead, so the things previously agreed upon are naturally void.”
Yan Ding scolded angrily, “Stubborn and foolish! Then I shall fulfill your wish.”
“I am not only skilled at slaying demons but even better at eliminating devils and upholding the Dao.”
“One Sword Eliminates the Devil.”
Yan Ding drew a circle in front of his chest with his right hand, and dozens of Flying Swords appeared, rapidly condensing into a golden sharp sword.
The sword tip pointed directly at the Bull Demon as it dove down from the clouds, dragging a golden tail dozens of meters long behind it like a falling meteor.
The intense pressure caused the surrounding air to freeze instantly, and the Bull Demon Emperor's entire body was locked, unable to move at all.
He could only watch helplessly as the sharp sword struck rapidly, while a dozen large bulls tried to block it with their sturdy bodies.
Swish!
Like cutting melons and vegetables, it pierced through their entire bodies very smoothly, and they died directly without leaving a single drop of blood in the process.
The suppression of Cultivation Rank, combined with the assistance of the High Grade Immortal Artifact, caused the Bull Demon Emperor to lose all resistance instantly.
He felt the terror of an Emperor Realm Cultivator for the first time. When the sharp sword was less than a meter away from his head, the Bull Demon Emperor decisively surrendered.
“From now on, I swear to serve Dreamscape Mountain until death. If I go against this, may I be struck by lightning.”
Just as he was about to raise his hand to swear, thunder and lightning appeared in the sky; this was not controlled by Yan Ding, but purely a natural phenomenon.
Yan Ding stroked his white beard gently with a satisfied face, “Very good. The Bull Demon Emperor truly did not disappoint me.”
“Then kill all these rabble invading the Demon Race. I want to see your sincerity with my own eyes.”
The Bull Demon Emperor looked bitter, “Immortal, please give me some time. There is still half an hour until the time agreed upon by both sides for the ceasefire.”
“Even if the deal isn't made, the kindness remains; this agreement must still be honored.”
Yan Ding's eyes were full of killing intent, “What a bull-headed temper; you don't know how to be flexible at all. Do not test my patience.”
“Then let me lend you a helping hand.”
Just as he was about to make a move, a token appeared in front of him.
“Junior Brother Yan Ding, return to the Sect immediately. Emperor Kun has arrived in person and has urgent matters to ask you.”
Yan Ding bowed respectfully, not daring to delay, “Understood, Sect Master, I will return immediately.”
He gave the Bull Demon Emperor a hinted look, “Do not disappoint me; I look forward to your good news.”
The Bull Demon Emperor was confused, and only when Yan Ding had completely disappeared did he heave a sigh of relief.
Chapter 308 New Ruler of the Demon Race
“Wanting me to go back on my word? That is definitely not going to happen. How can one go back on what has been promised?”
The Bull Demon Emperor walked up to Gui Jianchou and scratched his scalp awkwardly, “Little ghost, just now, this old bull was forced to agree to Dreamscape Mountain; you also saw their aggressive posture.”
“So, what does Brother Bull mean?”
“If not for the Flame Demon Ruler kidnapping the Saintess as leverage, there wouldn't have been a million-strong army attacking the Demon Capital. We have never had any grievances with the Bull Demon clan, and there is no need to fight to the death.”
The Bull Demon Emperor laughed heartily, “Exactly! You little ghost are truly reasonable. This old bull is also a reasonable person; I will never go back on what I have promised.”
He issued an order to the restless Bull Demon army behind him.
“Stop fighting, everyone. From now on, we are all good brothers.”
Seeing that the Flame Demon Ruler's capable subordinates in the city looked unwilling, the Bull Demon Emperor immediately rushed over and scolded loudly.
“The Demonic Lord is dead; what kind of waves can you make? Do you want to taste the flavor of this old bull's fists?”
In the face of the Bull Demon Emperor's powerful combat strength, the Demon Race elites had no choice but to accept this reality.
After Yan Ding led his Disciples away, the entire Demon Capital immediately ceased fighting.
Although the Bull Demon Emperor had a rather irritable temper, he was relatively principled and would not easily go back on what he had promised.
This greatly surprised Xiao Bai; the Demon Race, which had always been perfidious, actually had an outlier like the Bull Demon Emperor.
He had originally thought that after Yan Ding and his group left, the Bull Demon Emperor would strictly follow his orders and launch the most violent counterattack against the allied army.
With the blessing of the Demon Capital's Domain, the Demon Race army's numbers were several times higher, and they had the super-strong combat power of the Bull Demons.
If Xiao Bai did not intervene, the allied army led by Ao Wuming and Gui Jianchou would not gain any advantage, and the final result would only end in a miserable defeat.
The Bull Demon Emperor's move this time also preserved the lives of himself and his hundred thousand clansmen; otherwise, Xiao Bai was about to lead the Wasp army to charge in.
The Bull Demon army would almost certainly have been wiped out, becoming food for the wasps.
A two-headed giant python swept over with hundreds of thousands of the Wasp army, blotting out the sky and causing the entire sky to instantly dim.
The Bull Demon Emperor retreated in fear, “You... what are you doing? Why won't you let this old bull go?”
“Ah? I remember now, you are the snake demon who finished off the old lecherous demon. We don't seem to have much of a grudge; I'm really not familiar with the Demonic Lord, and I won't avenge him.”
It was clear that the Bull Demon Emperor had chickened out, knowing that Xiao Bai's Cultivation was higher than his, and he had brought hundreds of thousands of the Wasp army, which were the natural enemies of the Bull Demon clan.
Don't look at them charging around in front of other races with an indestructible posture; in front of the Wasp army, they were as brittle as thin paper.
Gui Jianchou and Ao Wuming arrived at Xiao Bai's side simultaneously and bowed, “Greetings, Brother Bai.”
Ao Wuming, like a little fanboy, kept circling around Xiao Bai, sizing him up.
“Big Brother, this look is so cool! I dream of growing another head.”
“Big Brother, did you really slaughter the Demonic Lord?”
Xiao Bai nodded slightly, “Of course. Just look at what kind of strength your Big Brother has. Do you want to keep these bulls here? It all depends on your decision.”
“Actually, I arrived a long time ago, and I heard your negotiation just now clearly. The Bull Demon Emperor is quite trustworthy.”
Gui Jianchou quickly added, “Brother Bai is right. When I was in the Demon Race, I had dealings with the Bull Demon Emperor.”
“He is completely different from the Flame Demon Ruler; he is honest and straightforward, without such deep schemes, and he knows how to return favors.”
Xiao Bai issued an order to the Great Commander Hong Shan of the Wasp army behind him, “You lead your clansmen back to the nest first. In a while, I will take you to suck the blood of those Cultivators.”
“We have a common enemy; this matter has always been kept in mind and never forgotten.”
“Yes, Grand Marshal!”
Whether intentional or accidental, before the Bee Queen died, she dropped a stinger token, which happened to be picked up by Xiao Bai.
Possessing this item allowed one to command the hundreds of thousands of the Wasp army. He killed Hua Hong and the others, which could be considered avenging the Bee Queen, and he was elected as the Grand Marshal of the Wasp clan.
After the Wasp army left the Demon Capital, the heavy stone in the Bull Demon Emperor's heart could finally be set down.
