Bai Ye shrugged helplessly. The werewolf leader showed a sly smile, while the giant scorpion's face was grim. He hadn't expected to be tricked by his few words!
But the expressions of the two suddenly changed. Bai Ye conjured a dazzling, scorching fireball in his hands. The surrounding bright light instantly dimmed, and the terrifying power of the flames made their hearts clench.
"Smart little animals, here are two little fireballs for you!" Bai Ye showed a hint of a smile and threw them casually.
The werewolf leader and the giant scorpion's pupils contracted sharply. They unleashed their full power at the fastest speed in their lives.
"Nether Poison Shroud!"
"Cloak Slash!"
Around the giant scorpion, a dense poisonous mist enveloped him. The werewolf leader, wielding a great saber, unleashed hundreds of slashes in an instant. Runes flared brightly on the blade, forming a defensive shield in front of him.
At the same time, the two fireballs thrown by Bai Ye streaked across the sky like meteors, flashing and crashing onto their shields.
Boom! Boom!!!
A terrifying explosion erupted simultaneously. Blinding firelight swept over everything around them. The figures of the three, along with a pack of werewolves and small demonic creatures, vanished into the inferno, and the world was plunged into darkness.
"Rumble—"
After tens of seconds, the firelight gradually dispersed, revealing a horrifying crater in the ground, nearly a hundred meters deep and over a kilometer wide.
The surrounding forests and mountains that were affected were in ruins. Amidst the continuous dawn, the booming aftershocks of the earth continued.
As for the pack of werewolves and small demonic creatures, the stronger ones lay on the ground, seemingly asleep and motionless, emanating a pungent burnt odor. The weaker ones had simply turned to ash.
Flame Burst! Although it was only a beginner's magic, Bai Ye had held nothing back, unleashing his flame power to the extreme.
"Yo!"
Hundreds of meters in the sky, Bai Ye stood in mid-air, looking down at the crater with a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
"Is this the resilience of a Demon King?"
In the giant crater, two figures glared hatefully at Bai Ye in the air. The werewolf leader and the giant scorpion, though somewhat disheveled, were not significantly injured.
"Damn it! Despicable!"
"As a Demon King, you have no semblance of a Demon King's demeanor!"
The two gritted their teeth, completely unexpected that this guy would unleash his ultimate move without a word, not even giving them time to recall their subordinates!
One moment he was smiling, the next he was ambushing, making even someone as cold and calculating as the giant scorpion shiver!
"If this is all your strength, then you're not leaving today! Let me use my poison to soak your corpse into a delicious meal!" the giant scorpion roared, leaping out of the crater. In mid-air, he transformed into his true form – a giant scorpion hundreds of meters long, his body glistening black, his long tail tipped with sharp, terrifying stingers, and two thick, hard pincers.
He raised his tail as if aiming a missile, locking onto Bai Ye.
With a hum, the air rippled, and a wave of demonic energy spread out. Dense phantom images of tail stingers materialized behind the giant scorpion.
"Die by my poison sting!" the giant scorpion roared in fury. The stingers solidified, releasing waves of black poison gas that ripped through the void and bombarded Bai Ye, endless and inexhaustible, at extreme speed. The air filled with a series of popping sounds!
Trying to out-fire me? Bai Ye raised his hand and pointed, a cluster of fireballs condensing behind him. The 'Meteor Shower' he hadn't used in a long time was unleashed once more.
The fireballs, like falling comets, were even faster than the giant scorpion's poison stingers.
On one side, poisonous gas blackened the void, while on the other, crimson firelight dyed the sky. In a flash, they collided in mid-air, the flat plane of space rippling like water, generating visible waves!
"Bang bang rumble rumble!!!" The subsequent deafening roars made it seem as if space itself was about to collapse.
The duels between Demon Kings weren't always spectacular, but every blow was earth-shattering. Even a basic attack could unleash power more terrifying than a disaster-level ultimate, such was the dread of a Demon King!
"So strong!" terror flashed in the giant scorpion's massive eyes. His confrontation with Bai Ye wasn't just a direct clash of skills, but also a battle of demonic energy!
He felt pressure emanating from Bai Ye, an endless, unpredictable, terrifying demonic power.
"Lantel Welver, prepare!" the giant scorpion secretly transmitted a thought to the werewolf leader. Although the werewolf leader was constantly watching for Bai Ye's opening, he couldn't help but remind him.
The werewolf leader, Lantel Welver, nodded. "He is indeed very powerful, exceeding my expectations! We must go all out, or we will be buried here today!"
A fierce killing intent erupted in the eyes of the two.
"Poisonous Abyss Kingdom!" While the situation was at a stalemate, the giant scorpion struck again. The three were instantly pulled into a space filled with poisonous mist, and Bai Ye's 'Meteor Shower' and the giant scorpion's 'Poison Stingers' suddenly vanished.
Silence reigned, and darkness. The surroundings were choked with poison gas, thick as lake water, floating slowly.
The poison gas possessed strong corrosive and penetrating properties, making even Bai Ye feel a stinging, burning sensation on his skin. Furthermore, this space suppressed perception and inhibited demonic energy.
If an ordinary monster were caught in this, it would likely be either completely corroded or poisoned to death within moments.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Bai Ye's body ignited with flames, pushing back the dreadful poison gas. The poison gas surged towards the flames like leeches smelling blood.
The blue flames flickered but did not extinguish. The poison gas, roasted by the high temperature, hissed and dissipated rapidly.
"To think that the weakening effect of the Poisonous Abyss Kingdom could be eliminated so easily." The giant scorpion's surprised voice echoed from the darkness.
"Hmph! You are indeed strong, perhaps even close to the Seven Saint Kings, but don't underestimate my Poisonous Abyss Kingdom!!!"
Bai Ye's gaze narrowed slightly. He extended his perception but couldn't locate the giant scorpion. His voice came from every angle, as if he were present in every direction.
Swish!
Suddenly, a poison stinger attacked, incredibly fast. Bai Ye moved forward, narrowly dodging it. Had he not known the terrifying power of his flame abilities, which negated the negative effects of the poison gas, he might not have reacted in time.
Before he could stabilize himself, more poison stingers assailed him from all directions!
Bai Ye dodged left and right, narrowly evading the poison stinger attacks time and again. But the stingers became increasingly dense, making evasion more difficult. The most challenging aspect was that within this Poisonous Abyss Kingdom, the consumption of one's own demonic energy was dozens of times greater than usual, with no replenishment of demonic elements.
"Hehehe~" the giant scorpion chuckled coldly. This way, he could wear Bai Ye down, perhaps even to death!
"Wall of Fire!" Cold sweat beaded on Bai Ye's forehead, showing signs of strain.
"Thump thump thump!!"
Six walls of fire enclosed Bai Ye in the center. The poison stingers hammered them fiercely, and the energy was quickly depleted!
"Did you really think I had no way to deal with you?" Bai Ye snorted coldly, and the flame power emanating from his body suddenly intensified by several levels.
"Hellfire!!"
