Chapter 2120: Chapter 2117: Conspiracy
At this moment, Yu Rujiao had already reached the highest peak of the Phantom Demon Continent. After reaching the summit, she looked around: "Eh? Where is everyone? Haotian the Demon King, you wouldnât be playing me, would you?"
"How could I possibly play you?" At this time, a steady voice came: "In the Phantom Demon Continent, who would have the guts to toy with you, the First Demon King?"
As the voice fell, a tall man appeared in Yu Rujiaoâs vision.
Yu Rujiao looked at the appearing man and raised her eyebrows, saying: "Haotian the Demon King, although I donât know what drug youâve been taking that makes you want to compete for my title as the First Demon King, I can tell you, you are no match for me!"
Haotian the Demon King nodded: "I know!"
"You know?" Yu Rujiao frowned: "Since you know, then why do you still want to challenge me?"
"Thatâs because I must hold you up!" Haotian the Demon King chuckled and said: "Otherwise, with you guarding the Demon Kingâs Castle, who would dare approach?"
Yu Rujiao froze for a moment, then her face suddenly changed: "You... no, itâs you all! Your target is Ling Feng?"
"Worthy of being the First Demon King, not only is your strength outstanding, but your mind is sharp too!" Haotian the Demon King laughed and said: "Thatâs right, I have an agreement with Demon King Kai, Dark Moon Demon King, and others. Theyâre probably already at your Demon Kingâs Castle now!"
Yu Rujiaoâs complexion changed, then she turned to leave.
"Dark Night Demon King, do you think Iâll let you just leave like that?" Haotian the Demon Kingâs figure appeared in front of Yu Rujiao, blocking her path, speaking softly.
Yu Rujiaoâs face was slightly cold: "Haotian the Demon King, let me pass. I can overlook your responsibility, but if you block me, donât blame me for being discourteous!"
Haotian the Demon King shook his head: "Iâm sorry, I wonât let you leave. Although Iâm not your match, I can still manage to trap you and delay some time!"
As the words fell, Haotian the Demon King snapped his fingers, and the entire mountain suddenly shook a few degrees, then countless beams of light rose from all directions, surrounding Yu Rujiao.
"Eighteen Demon Trapping Formation?" Yu Rujiaoâs face completely sank. This formation is the strongest trapping formation in the Phantom Demon Continent, even with the power of a demon king, it takes considerable time to break free from it, which shows that the opponent was well prepared.
"I should have been more vigilant!" Yu Rujiao said in a deep voice: "Haotian the Demon King, I want to know, what benefits did Dark Moon Demon King and the others give you to dare to set me up?"
Haotian the Demon King shook his head: "Iâm sorry, I canât tell you, but my task is to stop you."
Yu Rujiao gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Stop me? Do you really think the Eighteen Demon Trapping Formation can truly hold me? You are underestimating me, Yu Rujiao!"
Haotian the Demon King said solemnly: "Dark Night Demon King, we are not underestimating you. This Eighteen Demon Trapping Formation is set by seven of us demon kings together. We know you are strong, but no matter how strong you are, thereâs no way you can leave here in a short time!"
"Iâd advise you to give up! Once Dark Moon Demon King and the others have caught Ling Feng, we will naturally apologize to you and release you!" Haotian the Demon King said lightly.
Yu Rujiao laughed: "Give up? Apologize to me? Sorry, you might not know my character, Yu Rujiao. I may be somewhat afraid of death, but donât forget, when a woman gets angry, she is reckless!"
As the words fell, a crimson light flashed in Yu Rujiaoâs eyes: "Dark Night Dominator, dominate the heavens and earth!"
A huge black wing suddenly appeared behind Yu Rujiao, and as the wing trembled, a black mist like ink was released from Yu Rujiaoâs body, covering the whole sky.
"Shake!" Haotian the Demon King shouted in a deep voice. A ray of light flew out from the Eighteen Demon Trapping Formation, striking the huge wings behind Yu Rujiao heavily.
With a loud bang, the huge wings behind Yu Rujiao were actually shattered by the strike, and the move Yu Rujiao was about to unleash was naturally broken by this attack.
Yu Rujiaoâs face looked somewhat grim as she gritted her teeth: "Great Destruction Palm!"
Countless forces gathered on Yu Rujiaoâs body, and Yu Rujiao shouted as her right hand suddenly smashed forward.
A massive palm appeared in front of Yu Rujiao, smashing heavily towards the Eighteen Demon Trapping Formation.
With a mighty force of destruction, this palm slammed directly onto the Demon Trapping Formation, causing it to tremble slightly, but soon the formation absorbed a huge amount of power from the surroundings and stabilized again.
"Stop wasting effort!" Haotian the Demon King said: "Do you know why I chose to duel here? Because the Eighteen Demon Trapping Formation can continuously acquire power here, unless you have the power to break the formation in one strike, you wonât be able to leave the formation."
Yu Rujiao also felt the strength of the Eighteen Demon Trapping Formation. With a trace of anger, she stared at Haotian the Demon King: "I really donât understand why you, Haotian the Demon King, have always been so low-key and devoid of desires, would listen to the words of Dark Moon and the others?"
"Iâm not without desires and pursuits. Weâre merely meeting our needs." Haotian the Demon King said lightly.
Yu Rujiao took a deep breath: "Meeting needs, which means there is something you need on Ling Fengâs person? But you and Ling Feng have no dealings. The only thing you might need... I understand now, youâre looking to obtain the method that swiftly promoted Ling Fengâs power, right?"
Haotian the Demon King froze for a moment, not expecting Yu Rujiaoâs reaction to be so quick.
He didnât conceal it either, nodding: "Thatâs right, Ling Feng has been in the Phantom Demon Continent just over a year, and his strength has improved so rapidly. Moreover, according to Dark Moon, he has a method to absorb the Void Demon Crystal Core. As long as I obtain this method, my strength will enhance further!"
"Ridiculous!" Yu Rujiao sneered: "What good is it if your strength improves again? Do you really want to walk the Void Path?"
"Of course!" Haotian the Demon King actually admitted: "As long as my strength can improve again, I must embark on the Void Path!"
"Stop dreaming!" Yu Rujiao shouted with a hint of surprise: "You people of the Phantom Demon Continent canât even approach the Void Path! On the War Godâs Path, you simply donât possess the qualification to tread the Void Path; this has been predetermined long ago!"
"Predetermined?" Haotian the Demon King raised his head, his eyes shining with determination: "Why must we people of the Phantom Demon Continent become puppets and pieces of the War Godâs Path? Why must we live aimlessly here day after day, year after year? Is the meaning of our existence just to select the War God?"
"If thatâs so, then why canât I enter the War Godâs Path and become the War God?" Haotian the Demon King roared softly.
