"He's finished! Even a Demon King can't rampage through Ilesh City!"
"No, no! It depends on his status among the demon races. If he's a Demon King of a major clan, even half-demons won't be able to handle him!"
As the half-demon enforcement team drew closer, the spectating demons grew more excited.
They saw their leader, an anthropomorphic crocodile carrying two crescent demon blades, his savage, bloodthirsty vertical pupils, and an aura of brutality emanating from him.
King-tier!
"King Soton! It's him!"
"This is going to be a real spectacle! This guy is famous for 'defying authority'!"
"What's most terrifying is his penchant for crushing opponents' skulls and eating them... Even as a beast, I find him utterly monstrous!"
...
Soton the Demon King's powerful aura and the surrounding agitated atmosphere put the snake woman on high alert.
The appearance of a Demon King-level expert meant that if she were caught, the strongest individuals in Ilesh City would arrive in moments. Then... trouble would be immense!
The snake woman turned, intending to suggest Bai Ye retreat.
However, upon looking at Soton the Demon King, a playful smile touched Bai Ye's lips.
It's over... The snake woman froze instantly. Having been by Bai Ye's side for quite some time, she understood what that expression meant.
As expected, a terrifying flame power erupted from Bai Ye, invisibly stirring the air into a fierce gust of wind!
"What? This..."
"Such terrifying demonic energy! Just this fluctuation of demonic power makes me feel like I'm about to be scorched..."
"So terrifying! This, this is no ordinary Demon King, it... it surpasses a lower-tier Demon King..."
"He's making a move!"
The spectating demons displayed looks of horror, their pupils constricting in unison as they stumbled backward.
"Yan Huo, Tiandi He Jiao!"
Bai Ye extended his hand forward, closing and opening it. The space around Soton the Demon King and his half-demon enforcement team faltered. Layers of crimson magical runes rapidly unfolded on the ground beneath them and the sky above, while an intense heat permeated the entire sky.
Yan Huo - Tiandi He Jiao, a relatively advanced flame magic among Bai Ye's many fire spells, possessed a somewhat terrifying power.
"Ah!!"
"So hot!"
"Help!"
Within the half-demon enforcement team, before the magic was even fully unleashed, some individuals couldn't withstand the terrifying heat and collapsed to the ground, utterly drained.
"So strong!!" Soton the Demon King, charging forward with a fierce expression, also showed a drastic change in his countenance, his gaze grave. The crescent dual blades in his hands instantly flashed with eye-piercing light, and layers of energy shields encased him.
Still not reassured, he declared, "Phantom Defense!" With a roar, a colossal phantom of a crocodile demon rose from the ground, protecting him like a guardian deity.
As for his subordinates, he had no time to concern himself with them! Facing such a formidable opponent, he had to go all out!
"Wu Ying, Shuang Yue Zhan!" Soton the Demon King, agile like a stout man, unleashed three skills consecutively. As his voice faded, his two crescent blades shot out, flying like streaks of light, carrying energy filled with sharp intent as they struck Bai Ye's magical rune array from above and below!
This took mere moments. Bai Ye's magic array, rotating in reverse, unleashed two streams of extreme crimson flames that collided from the ground and sky.
Boom~ Rumbling...
The collision triggered a terrifying explosion, with rings of fiery shockwaves sweeping outwards. The solid streets were ripped up, and the sturdy buildings and shops collapsed with a roar.
The most unfortunate were the spectating demons; large swathes were engulfed by the impact, their cries of agony echoing everywhere.
The fearsome impact momentarily shook Bai Ye's magic array, but it quickly stabilized, and the crimson flames it emitted merged, engulfing Soton the Demon King and all the half-demon enforcement team members, making them vanish from sight.
Hiding behind Bai Ye, the snake woman stared at the fiery glow that had darkened everything, her small mouth agape, too shocked to speak, only her pupils quivering violently.
Who is this person?
Where did this Demon King come from?
At this moment, the entire Ilesh City felt this terrifying flame power. Countless demons couldn't help but look up in this direction.
Demon King-level experts soared to the rooftops or into the air, gazing this way.
Among them, three auras, distinctly stronger than ordinary Demon Kings, emanated from the depths of the great lake at the very core of Ilesh City.
An elf, a half-demon, and a demon—three of the Seven Saint Kings!
"This aura... is it that invading Demon King from another world?"
"It is him!"
"What audacious gall, to cause trouble right under our noses!"
...
Three of them? Bai Ye sensed the multitude of demonic energy fluctuations within the great city, looking towards the depths of the city, the direction of the lake, a slight smile curling his lips.
His rash attack on this enforcement team was precisely to probe the strength of the demons within this great city!
