Chapter 1323: Chapter 1294: Momentum Shift
The strength of the Demon King was beyond everyone’s expectations.
With a single effortless strike, he killed a Scorching-level Expert. Although there was a component of intimidation, there was no doubt that he was indeed strong.
Moreover, too strong.
Even the people of the Allied Forces did not expect that within the Demon Clan, there would be such a strong person.
Perhaps some of them had heard of the Demon King, but they had never heard that the Demon King was powerful to this extent.
It was precisely due to the emergence of this variable that the war had an eerie pause.
Many diverted their attention and locked onto the Demon King.
Everyone in the Allied Forces knew that the true deciders of the battle outcome were the fights between strong individuals.
Previously, the Demon Clan did not have many strong warriors. At least, compared to the Allied Forces, they had significantly fewer. But now, when the Demon Clan stood out with a warrior capable of determining the direction of the war, suddenly the entire battle situation fell into a stalemate.
“What’s wrong, why aren’t you speaking?” The young man looked at a group of strong warriors from the Allied Forces and spoke softly, “If no one speaks, can I start killing?”
His question was light and even a bit gentle, as if a naive child were asking adults, “Can I eat now?”
But after hearing his words, many instinctively felt a chill down their spine.
Because they clearly remembered, just not long ago, this handsome young man, who looked no different from the Human Race, casually killed a Scorching-level Expert!
“Whoosh——”
“Whoosh——”
The sound of the wind breaking came from afar. Many strong warriors from the Allied Forces, stationed elsewhere, rushed over here at the first moment, even temporarily leaving their opponents aside.
While some surviving strong warriors from the Demon Clan chose not to support their king but slipped away quietly instead.
Surrounded by an increasing number of strong warriors, the solitary Demon King seemed somewhat frail and pitiable.
But as for him, he didn’t think so at all.
Seeing the fleeing demons, he didn’t say anything.
These guys indeed no longer had any value left; wherever they went was up to them. In consideration of these guys running errands tirelessly for him for so many years, let them live.
As for these guys in front of him…
The corners of the Demon King’s mouth curled up in a rather sinister smile.
“Are you the Demon King?”
A strong warrior stepped forward, looking at the Demon King with a somewhat serious gaze.
Looking at this speaking fellow, the Demon King’s eyes appeared a bit strange: “Are you their representative?”
“I…” The warrior wanted to say yes but found all his companions looking at him, suddenly unable to answer.
The so-called Allied Forces were coalitions of various races, and among the Allied Forces, there existed numerous strong warriors.
Many were stronger than him; he only intended to speak first without expecting the Demon King to ask such a question, making him unable to answer.
“It seems you’re not.” The Demon King showed a regretful expression: “If possible, I hope for a more weighty strong warrior to speak with me. Because, I don’t like wasting time with reptiles.”
“Who are you calling a reptile?” Hearing the Demon King’s words, that person couldn’t help but say angrily.
“You.” Calmly looking at that person, the Demon King slowly extended a finger, rudely pointing at him.
“And you all, in my eyes, are nothing more than reptiles. But even if it’s a reptile, I hope a slightly stronger reptile can speak with me.” The Demon King shrugged.
“Although it wouldn’t give me any sense of achievement.”
Hearing the Demon King’s arrogant words, many showed expressions of anger. But they knew well, though the Demon King was conceited, he was indeed strong. Among all present, none could discern the depth of the Demon King’s cultivation.
Moreover, at this moment, the strong warriors of the Allied Forces had not fully gathered. Based on the strength displayed by the Demon King when he killed a Scorching-level Expert with a gesture, any of them facing the Demon King would lead to inevitable death.
Even if they teamed up and injured the Demon King, several would die first at least.
Although they carried the banner of justice, they didn’t want to be among the dead names.
The situation was somewhat deadlocked.
Li Chen and Ning Wangyang stood from afar, quietly watching this scene.
“Is it him?”
“That’s right.” Ning Wangyang nodded: “Even after spending some time with him, I still can’t fathom how strong he is. However, I am sure that even if these guys attacked together, it would only be courting death.”
“I vaguely understand.” Li Chen nodded.
In various regions of the Demon Clan’s territory, battles gradually came to a halt.
Seemingly because of the Demon King’s appearance, everyone shifted focus.
Some of the Allied Forces began to consolidate, and the strong warriors began to gather, moving toward where the Demon King was.
The Demon Clan, on the other hand, each regrouped, some choosing to flee, while others shrank back to different places.
Strangely, no demon chose to approach the Demon King.
As if, to them, the Demon King was even more terrifying than these Allied Forces.
Seeing this scene, a thoughtful expression crossed Li Chen’s face.
“Are they here too?” Standing on a tall structure, Li Chen’s gaze swept around.
He found that even people from the Eastern Allied Forces had come. Among the crowd, he saw Sulin and Patricia and others.
Wanting to greet them, but seeing the other strong members from the Allied Forces beside Patricia, Li Chen dismissed the idea.
His position was somewhat special, thus unsuitable for meeting at this moment.
What made Li Chen frown was seeing Cherie had also come here, busily treating the wounded.
It seemed Cherie was one of the main forces in the Allied Forces’ medical unit. Under her command, many injured were being orderly escorted back for treatment.
Although Li Chen felt comforted in his heart, he didn’t want Cherie appearing here.
Because this place was indeed too dangerous!
Even if the Allied Forces held the upper hand here, it was extremely dangerous since a terrifying Demon King had not yet been dealt with!
“It seems our conversation can’t continue?” The Demon King looked at the group of strong warriors around him, the corners of his mouth slightly curling upward.
“Since we can’t continue the negotiation, let’s speak with fists instead.”
Saying this, the sinister smile on the Demon King’s face grew more intense.
