Chapter 497: Chapter 496 Wang Yan’s Answer
Upon hearing Snake Soul’s plea for mercy, Beiming Xue and the others laughed heartily, while Xiahou Que looked ashen.
For a dignified Demon King to kneel and beg for mercy, the scene was truly shocking.
At this moment, Toyota Shouzou, who had been standing at the mountaintop, hesitating and wavering while still wanting to look back, was immediately terrified. He turned to flee desperately but tripped over his legs in his haste and tumbled down the mountain.
More than twenty Japanese Samurai hurriedly chased after him, but how could their running speed catch up with the rolling speed? Before long, Toyota Shouzou was at the mountain’s bottom, seen only as a tiny black dot.
In the valley, facing Snake Soul’s plea, Wang Yan’s expression was icy, with the Soul-Breaking Spear continually pointed at Snake Soul’s forehead.
Snake Soul felt the chilling aura emitted from the spear above his head, frightened, he dared not move and pleaded once more: “Wang Yan… Brother Wang Yan, Lord Wang Yan, I beg you to spare me this once. I swear never to appear before you again.”
Wang Yan replied coldly, “Last time, to increase your cultivation, you killed a hundred young girls, already deserving your death. Yet this time, you remain unrepentant, openly colluding with the Japanese. Without my intervention, the members of the Grey Wolf Alliance would also have perished. A villain like you, with evil embedded in your heart, will only harm innocent people if left in this world. The ancient saying goes: to kill an evil person is a good deed. Today, I will rid the world of a villain.”
Snake Soul quickly exclaimed, “I’m part of the Black Dragon Castle. If you kill me, Lord Black Dragon will surely be furious.”
Wang Yan was unmoved, coldly saying, “Even if you’re part of Black Dragon Castle, with your heinous crimes, you too must die.”
Feeling the murderous intent from Wang Yan’s eyes, Snake Soul was terrified to the point of collapse. Although he wished to flee, he could muster no strength.
With death looming, suddenly a cold voice echoed from mid-air: “Such bold air, you dare to kill someone from Black Dragon Castle?”
Upon hearing this voice, everyone looked in its direction.
But when they saw the speaker, everyone was stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
In the void stood a person. The person just stood there without any support beneath, simply existing in the void.
“An Immortal? Can he fly?” the yak exclaimed in surprise.
Even Ma Jun, a Demon Cultivator, was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how this person before them could fly.
Just then, Ouyang Feiting shouted, “It’s the Demon Emperor! Only the Demon Emperor can fly like that.”
Upon hearing Ouyang Feiting’s words, the person in mid-air smiled smugly and said, “Little girl, you actually know this, indeed, I am the Demon Emperor!”
The cultivation of a Demon Cultivator is divided into warrior, master, king, emperor, saint, and honorific!
Wang Yan is just barely a Demon King, while this person before them has reached the cultivation level of a Demon Emperor, a whole rank higher than Wang Yan.
Snake Soul looked up, immediately joyous, and shouted, “Lord Dwarf, save me!”
In mid-air, the person stood, only a meter tall, though his stature was that of a child; his face was old with wrinkles all over. This was Black Dragon’s right-hand man—Dwarf.
Upon seeing Dwarf arrive, Snake Soul immediately relaxed, believing Dwarf’s powerful cultivation could kill Wang Yan with a mere finger.
In the presence of a Demon Emperor, how could Wang Yan act recklessly and kill?
Snake Soul immediately regained his composure, coldly saying to Wang Yan, “Wang Yan, quickly remove the spear! Lord Dwarf is here; aren’t you going to kneel and beg for mercy?”
Wang Yan’s Soul-Breaking Spear remained poised at Snake Soul’s forehead, unmoving. He glanced slightly at Dwarf and said, “The Demon Emperor’s cultivation is indeed strong.”
After speaking, Wang Yan withdrew the spear, the tip backing away from Snake Soul’s forehead.
Seeing this, Xiahou Que showed a smug expression, having yet found another shelter. Now he spoke more boldly.
Especially seeing Wang Yan withdraw the spear, Xiahou Que became even more arrogant, shouting, “Wang Yan, get down on your knees!”
Dwarf also wore a mocking expression, looking down at Wang Yan: “Smart choice, now come back with me to Black Dragon Castle and let Lord Black Dragon deal with you.”
Finished speaking, Dwarf glanced at Snake Soul and said, “Incompetent fool, even dared to kneel and beg, quickly get up.”
Yet, despite Dwarf’s words, Snake Soul remained kneeling, unmoving.
Dwarf was taken aback and stared closely at Snake Soul, his eyes narrowing, flashing a cold light, then he turned to Wang Yan, angrily saying, “How dare you?”
Seeing Dwarf suddenly angry, everyone was puzzled. Just then, Snake Soul, who had been kneeling, slumped forward, falling face-first to the ground, completely motionless.
Turns out, Snake Soul was dead.
When Snake Soul collapsed, a black light flashed from the spearhead of Wang Yan’s Soul-Breaking Spear, and a black soul was absorbed into the spearhead.
Turns out, just earlier, Wang Yan had made a move to kill Snake Soul.
Thinking Wang Yan dared to kill in the presence of the Demon Emperor, Xiahou Que couldn’t help but shiver.
To kill in front of the Demon Emperor, Wang Yan’s courage was truly immense.
Is Wang Yan really not afraid of death? Facing the Demon Emperor, didn’t he know the Demon Emperor could kill a Demon King with just a finger?
At this moment, everyone looked at Dwarf, wanting to see how Dwarf would deal with Wang Yan.
Dwarf’s face was full of anger, gritting his teeth and saying coldly, “You truly have some guts, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”
Wang Yan looked up at Dwarf, calmly saying, “If I hadn’t killed Snake Soul, would you have let me leave?”
Hearing Wang Yan’s words, Dwarf’s angry expression vanished swiftly, erupting into laughter: “Hahaha, truly a clever person, courageous and insightful. Boy, I admire you greatly. Now I can spare you, but you must agree to one condition.”
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, calmly asking, “What condition?”
Dwarf said, “If you kneel and acknowledge me as your master, I can spare you, not only spare you, but I will help increase your cultivation with all my might. With my help, before long, you can be like me, reaching the cultivation level of a Demon Emperor.”
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Que was immediately stunned. The Demon Emperor actually proposed accepting Wang Yan as his disciple actively, and this Dwarf held the second highest position in the Black Dragon Association. If Wang Yan agreed, wouldn’t he overshadow Xiahou Que?
Xiahou Que anxiously exclaimed in his heart, “You can’t agree, you can’t agree!”
Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting also looked at Wang Yan. Though they both knew this should not be agreed upon with Dwarf, they also knew if Wang Yan did not agree, he might die at Dwarf’s hands.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Wang Yan, waiting for his reply.
