Chapter 1898: Being As Silent As Winter Cicadas

People in Motian Realm didn’t know the whereabouts of the demon prince till now. Over the past tens of thousands of years, humans almost had not seen or heard about such demon generals before the appearance of each demon prince. They couldn’t get any intelligence about the demon prince at all. However, each demon prince could bring humans bloody rain or put humans and demons into a miserable situation.

Undoubtedly, the most frightening feature of the demon princes was their power; instead of their brutality or craft!

Each demon prince could easily overwhelm immortal generals or demon generals on their same levels before promoting to a demon emperor; additionally, they all mastered many incredible secret methods and abilities.

Besides being powerful, the other frightening feature of demon princes was their great potential.

Ordinary demon generals could barely promote to a demon emperor as that very few immortal generals could promote to immortal emperors. However, a demon prince could have more than 50% possibility to promote to a demon emperor. On average, at least one of each two demon princes could promote to powerful demon emperors and rattle humans’ cage.

Watching the demon prince who had already taken the upper hand, all the humans felt seeing another demon emperor in the future.

Watching the demon prince’s performance, Star Emperor squinted his eyes as a perilous light flashed across his eyes. He then took a look at Force Emperor…

——How about…

——If we move, Versatile Demon Emperor and Black Mountain Demon Emperor will move at the same time. We don’t have an opportunity to do that. Additionally, if we disrupt the combat, human immortal generals will feel shameless about it in front of demons in the following 1,000 years; the 100,000-odd human immortal generals will also lose their morality in fighting demons. If so, how could we protect our territory in Nine Heavens Big Domain? It’s just a battle. Humans could be defeated; however, we cannot be humiliated. Despite being broken into pieces, we should still keep our morality…

Force Emperor didn’t speak. He just pulsed his mouth with a frown as his face became clear-cut like a steel sculpture. At the same time, he watched the combat with a resolute and icy expression.

Star Emperor became silent too; because he knew that Force Emperor was right. Additionally, if they followed his risky whim, they might not kill the demon prince; instead, they might make it worse.

What Versatile Demon Emperor said shocked Qi Tai pretty much. After knowing that he was fighting a demon prince and realizing that he couldn’t use his battle formation, Qi Tai’s attacking rhythm was completely disrupted by that demon prince.

Watching this scene, over 100,000 human immortal generals became silent and looked gloomy.

Right then, Force Emperor broke the silence in a muffled and domineering voice that reverberated around the entire battlefield. “Lord Lanling, if you kill the demon prince here today, Star Emperor and I promise to escort you all the way to the core of the Mountain Ruins and help you find the Nine Heavens Immortal Spring. If you fight the demon prince to death for humans, one of your sons could become my disciple. I promise to cultivate him to a supreme-level immortal general and reinvigorate Qi Clan!”

After hearing Force Emperor’s words, over 100,000 human immortal generals became spirited at once; especially those supreme-level immortal generals in the army and those people beside Star Emperor and Force Emperor. When they saw the demon prince’s performance just now, they felt a bit scared; but now, that demon prince became different in the eyes of the public. The demon prince was dangerous; however, if someone could kill him, with the guarantee of Star Emperor and Force Emperor, he would have 50% of the possibility to promote to an immortal emperor. Dangers and opportunities always coexisted.

“Hahaha, thanks, Your Majesty Force Emperor. If so, I will have no regret fighting the demon prince to death…” Lord Lanling’s voice reverberated around the battlefield. At this moment, although being in an inferior situation, Lord Lanling still maintained his style as the owner of an immortal palace. The hero’s boldness was indeed admirable. Over 100,000 human immortal generals instantly roared and cheered up for him, “Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!”…

Among the cheers of the human army, a light flashed across Qi Tai’s body while a classic huge saber and the light&shade of a mountain range appeared behind him. Qi Tai then slashed at the light&shade of the mountain range by his saber and split it into two halves. Closely after that, the light&shade flashed into Qi Tai’s body. Then, Qi Tai’s saber suddenly became much sharper and more powerful, involving the demon prince into his saber light at a stroke.

“Mountain-broken saber, it’s mountain-broken saber, I’ve not imagined that Lord Lanling has awakened the ancestral bloodline of mountain-broken saber…” Someone behind Star Emperor and Force Emperor exclaimed with excitement and surprise.

Nobody knew that Lord Lanling had awakened this ancestral bloodline. All the human immortal generals widely opened their eyes as they expected to see Lord Lanling creating a marvel here.

If Lord Lanling could kill the demon prince, nobody would be jealous of him when he acquired Nine Heavens Immortal Spring and promoted to an immortal emperor.

However, in Qi Tai’s saber lights, a wisp of black qi suddenly appeared on the demon prince. Almost at the same time, the space around the demon prince started to rotate like an invisible swirl. As a result, Qi Tai and his saber light which almost covered demon prince just now immediately started to quiver like a boat being involved in turbulence and deviate the former direction. Qi Tai couldn’t control his saber light easily anymore…

Watching this scene, the cheers of human army gradually faded.

…

One hour later…

Qi Tai lived up to his appellation of Lord Lanling. He exerted his full efforts and used all of his trump cards to fight demon prince from the sky to the ground, then from the ground back to the sky. His battle qi strikes were like thunders as his saber lights were like lightning bolts, which caused the space to change their colors. The landform on the battlefield was almost changed completely. The former prairie had already been full of crisscrossed gullies and couldn’t be recognized anymore…

If Lord Lanling was just fighting an ordinary supreme-level demon general, he had long killed his opponent.

However, the demon prince was unusual…

When that wing demon slashed into the air by its black spike and pierced through the gap between the armor and the helmet of Qi Tai, it sent Qi Tai’s head flying away. The battlefield was in dead silence at once…

The spike which had pierced into Qi Tai’s neck instantly disappeared. Closely after that, it stabbed into Qi Tai’s heart. At the same time, the wing demon released another spike that caught up with the head of Qi Tai who was still widely opening his eyes. With a boom, his head was exploded together with the rest of his body. The bloody light being full of a supreme-level immortal general’s surging battle qi and essential energy, qi and spiritual energy spread over the sky, leaving an over 2,000 m-long bloody rainbow in the sky. That was the last trace that Qi Tai left in this world.

Qi Tai’s blue shiny battle armor had already been divided into several parts, which were floating in the air independently and became the demon prince’s booty.

The human army of over 100,000 human immortal generals became quiet at once.

The demon prince opened its mouth and sucked the remaining bloody rainbow in the sky into its mouth in an instant.

It even burped. Red light was flying over its body as its eyes completely turned bloody with a bit demonic and brutal qi as if it had taken a great tonic. As a result, it became more powerful than before.

“Who else?” the demon prince roared at the army of over 100,000 human immortal generals while it extended its wings and hammered its chest as if it was driven crazy.

On this occasion, the army of over 100,000 human immortal generals became silent as the demon army was in uproars.

All the supreme-level immortal generals and some immortal kings avoided the eyes of demon prince on purpose.

Today, two supreme-level immortal generals had been killed by the demon prince. Lanling Immortal Palace… was already over…

Nobody else would like to be the 3rd supreme-level immortal general to lose his life here…

“Is there any real hero among humans? Dare you fight me to death? You’ve got so many immortal palaces and over 100,000 immortal generals. Don’t you have such a person? Dare anyone among you court death? Hahahaha…” The demon prince laughed aloud.

Facing such a domineering demon prince, many human immortal generals felt desperate as their faces all turned ashy. This demon prince couldn’t be matched by ordinary supreme-level immortal generals any more; any supreme-level immortal general would be killed by it. On this level, demons had already gained an overwhelming victory…

‘Can we defend our territory in Nine Heavens Big Domain?’

‘As long as this demon prince promotes to a demon emperor, it will…’

Humans were always variable. Among over 100,000 human immortal generals, some were furious and gnashing their teeth; some people’s eyes started to be hesitant; especially those who didn’t belong to Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace.

“I will fight you…”

All of a sudden, a firm and resolute voice reverberated in the sky of Deities Plain, which stopped the demon prince’s laugh at once.

After hearing this voice, Versatile Demon Emperor’s smile also froze in an instant…

When all the human immortal generals were looking for the source of this voice, Star Emperor and Force Emperor immediately fixated onto the back of the human army.

A pair of golden feather wings had already appeared in the skyline like clouds hanging over the sky with wuthering wind and rumbling thunders!

Under that pair of golden feather wings was a youth who was as innocent and flamboyant as before…
