Chapter 569: Intimidating the Demon Emperor!
"Enough!"
With a surge of aura, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor forced the despicable donkey back several steps.
In a flash of silver light, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor appeared as if he had leaped through space and was now standing beside Niu Bi.
Niu Bi, drenched in blood and trembling uncontrollably, weakly grasped the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's leg and pleaded, "M-Master... avenge... me..."
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor remained expressionless, ignoring Niu Bi's plea as he coldly stared at Ling Feng and the despicable donkey. His face was grim and his eyes revealed nothing of the terrifying intent hidden within.
Even the despicable donkey couldn't help but shudder, quietly retreating to Ling Feng's side. He swallowed nervously and sent a message through spiritual consciousness to Ling Feng. "Hey, kid, I've put on enough of a show. Hurry up and bring out that ancestor or whatever!"
"If I could, don't you think I would have done it already?" Ling Feng responded with a bitter smile in his heart.
"Damn! You're going to get this divine beast killed!"
The despicable donkey's face darkened—though it was hard to tell since his face was already black.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't you the one with ninety-nine Demonic God Bones? Didn't you once say you could kill even a demon ruler with just a fart?" Ling Feng whispered.
"That was a long time ago! Stop bringing it up!" The despicable donkey secretly broke into a cold sweat, trying to maintain his composure as he faced the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor. He shouted, "Hey, you're a demon emperor, so you should keep your word. That stupid bull lost, so it's time for you to pack up and leave!"
"Oh?" The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor sneered, "When did I ever say that if Niu Bi lost, I would leave?"
The icy aura of the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor spread out, turning the entire Demon Emperor's Palace into a frozen hell. It was as if even the souls of those present would be frozen solid.
"He is him, and I am me!"
With a cold laugh, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor stomped down. There was a sickening crunch as Niu Bi's chest was crushed and his organs were reduced to frozen shards.
"No!!!"
Niu Bi was discarded like trash before he even had time to react. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
In his final moments, Niu Bi was filled with regret. If only he hadn't allied with the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor and had remained as the commander of the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's imperial guards, he wouldn't have met such a miserable end.
He had never even sat on the demon emperor's throne. Everything he had worked for was all for nothing!
"You're even ruthless to your own people!" Ling Feng sneered, rubbing his nose. "No wonder you could betray your own sworn elder brother!"
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor remained indifferent, as if he had merely crushed an ant. "I have no use for failures."
Ling Feng glanced at Niu Bi's corpse and sighed inwardly, thinking: Niu Bi, Oh, Niu Bi, I already told you betrayers never meet good ends! Now that you're dead, my grudge with the Minotaur Clan is settled.
"Long Fei, Niu Bi is dead. You have no reason to interfere with my plans anymore," the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor said, his icy aura intensifying as a terrifying pressure bore down on them. "You can leave now."
He was still wary of the demonic jiao ancestor that Ling Feng might summon!
Ling Feng glanced at the fallen Qiongqi Demon Emperor and clenched his fists.
If he hadn't learned that the Qiongqi Demon Emperor was an old friend of his grandfather, he would have turned and left by now. But now, he couldn't back down.
He knew so little about his own origins that even the slightest clue was something he couldn't afford to miss.
"What if I refuse to leave?"
Ling Feng took a deep breath, locking eyes with the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor as he struggled to stand tall.
Even he didn't know where he found the courage to confront a peak demon emperor like this.
"Kid, that's enough! Don't cause trouble!"
The despicable donkey was secretly sweating, knowing that if a real fight broke out, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
In the past, he might have just fled without a second thought, but now, for some reason, he found himself actually liking Ling Feng.
"Do you really think I won't make a move against you?"
A trace of anger appeared on the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's face. As one of the Big Nine Demon Emperors of Heavenly Demon City, his tolerance for Ling Feng had already reached its limit.
"Go ahead and try!"
Ling Feng, under immense pressure, stepped forward toward the Qiongqi Demon Emperor while raising his eyes to meet his gaze. He sneered, "I can guarantee I won't die today! As for you, if you're not afraid of death, you can try making a move against me."
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's expression fluctuated as he tried to discern if Ling Feng was bluffing. But from the boy's expression, he couldn't detect even a hint of panic.
Ling Feng stood like a natural leader, remaining calm even in the face of a being far more powerful than himself.
"By the way, I forgot to mention something. I'm a royal descendant of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan from the Northern Demon Domain. If you think a mere demon emperor can challenge the entire Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan, then go ahead and continue your assault on the Qiongqi Demon Emperor. I promise you, your death will be ten thousand times worse than his!"
At this moment, Ling Feng could only rely on intimidation to bluff his way through this situation.
Both the demonic jiao ancestor and the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan were entities the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor dared not provoke.
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor was deeply conflicted, torn between his desire to succeed and the fear of retaliation. He had spent ten years scheming against the Qiongqi Demon Emperor and was on the verge of success, only for everything to fall apart at the last moment.
Yet, if he made a move against Ling Feng, he knew he might be killed by the demonic jiao ancestor the next moment.
The power to suppress Niu Bi with just a strand of spiritual thoughts indicated at least a demon ruler-level strength. Although confident in his own abilities, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor wasn't foolish enough to challenge a demon ruler.
"Make your choice, Silver Wolf Demon Emperor. I believe you can make the right decision." Ling Feng smiled faintly, his expression calm and untroubled, as if he wasn't the least bit concerned about dying here.
"Fine, fine, fine!"
After weighing his options, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor finally chose to retreat.
"Kid, you have guts! Your future achievements will surely surpass mine!"
The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor glanced at the fallen Qiongqi Demon Emperor, thinking that since Qiongqi had already been severely injured by his sneak attack and further weakened by forcefully activating the Nine Nether Sky-Sealing Array, he wouldn't last much longer anyway.
Although his plan wasn't perfect, it was still mostly successful.
His only regret was not being able to seize the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's bloodline source.
With a wave of his sleeve, the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's figure transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the distant sky.
It wasn't until the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor's aura completely vanished that Ling Feng finally exhaled deeply. His legs were trembling, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might jump out of his throat.
But at least, he had managed to bluff past this situation...
