Chapter 2123: Chapter 2120: Admitting Defeat
"Could it be that Haotian the Demon King has fallen? Thatâs the Demon Trapping Formation we, the Seven Great Demon Kings, arranged together, how can it not trap Yu Rujiao?" The hearts of the six demon kings sank. Yu Rujiao appeared too early, this was completely unexpected in their plan.
"You have quite some nerve!" Yu Rujiaoâs gaze swept over the faces of the six demon kings, and under her gaze, they felt as if they were being chastised.
"If you insist on fighting, Ling Feng and I will accompany you to the end. Perhaps today, a few demon kings might fall on the Phantom Demon Continent!" Yu Rujiao said calmly, "But if you donât wish to fight, then sit down and discuss compensation with us!"
Black Sky Demon King sneered, "Compensation? You think you two have us under control? Donât forget, we have the advantage in numbers now!"
"How does the advantage in numbers matter?" Ling Fengâs teasing voice came, "With so many of you, can anyone even touch me?"
The corners of the demon kingsâ mouths twitched. This was truly quite sarcastic.
"Thatâs because youâre weak in attack but strong in defense. We canât reach you, but you canât hold us either!" Night Demon King said somewhat indignantly.
At this moment, a streak of light flew in from afar, and in an instant, a stranger appeared before the crowd.
"Haotian the Demon King? Youâre here? What is happening here? You didnât hold back the Dark Night Demon King?" Upon seeing Haotian the Demon King appear, the other demon kings couldnât help but ask.
Haotian the Demon King sighed, "Everyone, we failed! We completely underestimated the true strength of the Dark Night Demon King. The Demon Trapping Formation we set up didnât even last ten breaths in her hands!"
Hiss! The demon kings couldnât help but take a cold breath. How could this be! Surely itâs a joke!
But these words came from Haotian the Demon Kingâs mouth. No matter how absurd, they had to believe it.
"Iâll give you a few minutes to discuss." Yu Rujiao waved to Ling Feng and said, "Letâs go, back to the Demon Kingâs Castle! Weâll wait until they have a decision."
Saying this, Yu Rujiao turned and left, and Ling Feng shrugged, following behind Yu Rujiao.
"What on earth has happened? Whatâs going on?" Upon seeing Yu Rujiao leave, the demon kings quickly gathered around Haotian the Demon King, asking anxiously.
They were full of doubts; if all went smoothly, Yu Rujiao should be trapped in the formation now. How could the Demon Trapping Formation fail to last even ten breaths? Surely something happened!
Haotian the Demon King sighed and then recounted the events detail by detail. When he finished, the demon kingsâ faces showed shock, followed by endless bewilderment.
"Our... our strength is really nothing in Yu Rujiaoâs eyes? She hasnât even shown her real power before?"
"More than that, I suspect Yu Rujiao is just hiding on the Phantom Demon Continent playing with mortals. In her eyes, we might just be clowns."
...
After Haotian the Demonâs Kingâs explanation, the demon kings realized Yu Rujiaoâs strength and theirs were completely different levels! Yu Rujiaoâs words just now contained no exaggeration; if she truly wanted to deal with them, how many of them could survive really is a question!
Moreover, even if they ran now, could they really avoid Yu Rujiaoâs pursuit for life?
"Since the Dark Night Demon King didnât act, it means she doesnât wish to kill us! This matter can still be negotiated!" At this moment, Demon King Kai said in a deep voice, "Letâs go to the Dark Night Demon King Castle and see what Yu Rujiao wants!"
The others nodded, then headed towards the Demon Kingâs Castle.
Inside the Demon Kingâs Castle, Ling Feng and Yu Rujiao were staring at each other, seemingly trying to see something in each otherâs eyes.
"Not bad indeed, you emerged unscathed from the siege of the six demon kings, I might have underestimated you before!" Yu Rujiao said with a smile, "Ling Feng, how strong are you really!"
Ling Feng also smiled, "Just regained my former strength. But Iâm curious, Lady Yuâs power is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Why are you willingly staying here and not stepping forward?"
"I told you, Iâm afraid of dying!" Yu Rujiao said confidently.
Ling Feng chuckled softly, "A person who cultivates has already left life and death aside, do you think this excuse is convincing?"
"Oh, you donât believe me!" Yu Rujiao pretended to be furious, "Then letâs cut off our friendship!"
Ling Feng smiled bitterly, it seemed Yu Rujiao wasnât planning to tell him the truth.
At this moment, seven powerful figures appeared before Ling Feng and Yu Rujiao.
"Very well, you didnât run away, youâve made a wise choice!" Yu Rujiao said smilingly, "Looks like youâre prepared to be taken advantage of."
"Dark Night Demon King is jesting!" Haotian the Demon King said with a bitter smile, "With Dark Night Demon Kingâs strength, what could you possibly need us to do? Weâre mainly here to express our apologies!"
Yu Rujiao shook her head, "Donât assume that lowering your stance means Iâll easily forgive you! But seeing you are genuinely repentant, I will lightly punish you."
The seven demon kings exchanged glances, seeing helplessness in each otherâs eyes.
"I donât know what the Dark Night Demon King wants us to do!" Demon King Kai said gravely.
Yu Rujiao mused, "Yes, what do I need you to do? Youâre ugly and your strength is weak, some really challenging tasks are beyond you!"
"How about this!" Yu Rujiao clapped her hands, "You like to fight with Ling Feng, donât you? While Ling Feng is on Phantom Demon Continent, the seven of you will serve as Ling Fengâs sparring partners, how about it?"
"What?" Not only the seven demon kings, even Ling Feng was stunned. Seven demon kings as sparring partners for Ling Feng, this...
"Absurd!" The temperamental Black Sky Demon King was about to say something, but Haotian the Demon King stopped him, "Alright, I agree on their behalf!"
"Good!" Yu Rujiao smiled, "Haotian, youâre quiet but youâre the smartest among them! Of course, I wonât just let you spar with Ling Feng for nothing, during this time, Iâll guide your cultivation, helping your strength take another step!"
The group was a bit incredulous. They were already at demon king level, standing at the peak of the world. It should be impossible to improve further. Yu Rujiaoâs words... could she be planning to pass Ling Fengâs Cultivation Technique to them?
