Chapter 31
The Demon King Flees
The commotion here quickly reached the ears of the Bingshuang Demon King, one of the Ten Great Demon Kings.
At this moment, inside the palace of the Bingshuang Demon King.
"Report, Lord Demon King! The human adventurer outside has attacked!"
A Bingshuang Giant Demon leader anxiously reported to the Bingshuang Demon King, who was seated on his throne.
"What? An adventurer? What adventurer has the audacity to run rampant in my Demon Realm's territory!"
The Bingshuang Demon King on the throne was furious.
"Replying to the Demon King, it is an adventurer named Shi Tian. He has also brought hundreds of thousands of the Human Race's army. Most importantly, the summoned creatures under his command are extremely powerful!"
The Bingshuang Giant Demon leader reported.
"What! Are you sure it's the adventurer named Shi Tian?"
"One hundred percent certain! The Giant Demon warriors under my command are almost wiped out by him..."
"Him again!" the Bingshuang Demon King muttered and fell into contemplation.
He had just returned to his territory from Yanmo City. He didn't expect that as soon as he got back, the adventurer discussed in their meeting would march right into his domain.
"Damn adventurer! I haven't even gone to look for trouble with him, yet he dares to cause trouble for me! This is a good opportunity to test his strength," the Bingshuang Demon King thought to himself.
How strong could an adventurer be? The other Demon Kings were surely just scaring themselves.
The Bingshuang Demon King simply couldn't believe the intelligence previously provided by the Yanmo Demon King. He still believed that he was just a minor adventurer. As a great Demon King, killing a slightly stronger ant should be incredibly simple, right?
Why make such a fuss? He could handle him all by himself.
"Hmph! Cowards! Watch me capture this adventurer and bring him before you, then slap you all hard in the face."
With that, the Bingshuang Demon King led a group of his core followers toward the Bingshuang Valley.
...
Very quickly, the Bingshuang Demon King arrived at the entrance of the Bingshuang Valley.
"Right here?" the Bingshuang Demon King asked indifferently.
"Yes, Lord Demon King. According to my calculations, he is about to come out."
The Bingshuang Demon King nodded and immediately arranged his followers to surround the entire area, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Shen Feng the moment he stepped out.
The commotion here also attracted players belonging to the Demon Realm Faction.
"Holy crap, what's happening over there? Why is the great Lord Demon King bringing so many followers? Could another Demon King be attacking?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Our Bingshuang Demon King's combat power ranks in the top three among the Ten Great Demon Kings. No one would dare come here."
"In that case, there's another possibility—the Holy Alliance is attacking!"
"Damn, that's highly possible. I've been frequently receiving scouting quests for the Holy Alliance lately."
"Let's just watch first. I wonder which big shot is arriving."
...
Just as the players of the Demon Realm Faction were heatedly discussing this,
"Rumble... Rumble..."
Several loud booms echoed from deep within the Bingshuang Valley, and shortly after, the ground began to shake.
"This... Is this... an earthquake?"
"Surely not. Are there earthquakes in the game? I've never encountered one."
"But what's with that sound and shaking? Could there be an artificial landslide in the game?"
"No way. An earthquake in the game would at least trigger a system notification. It wouldn't just shake out of nowhere."
"So, the commotion ahead can't be a random tremor. If it's not an earthquake, could it be..."
Realizing this, the crowd of players and Demon Realm NPCs focused their attention, staring intently in the direction of the noise.
"Rumble... Rumble..."
Several more loud booms resounded. As the sound drew closer, the ground's tremors became increasingly distinct.
"Lord Bingshuang Demon King, I sense that there are at least no fewer than a hundred thousand terrifying creatures ahead," a Kobold strategist of the Demon Realm analyzed beside the Bingshuang Demon King.
The Bingshuang Demon King was now feeling uncertain. Was the adventurer named Shi Tian truly as formidable as the Yanmo Demon King claimed, or was another force invading his territory?
Meanwhile, the players in the distance, who loved a good spectacle, eagerly anticipated the upcoming scene.
"Roar!..."
Just then, countless dragon roars that shook heaven and earth echoed.
Then, in the sky, countless Dark Magic Dragons took the lead, appearing in everyone's line of sight.
Immediately following them on the ground were countless Skeleton Undead and Abyssal Giant Corpse Kings, with a massive number of Undead Mages trailing behind.
"The Scourge has descended once more!" the leading Bingshuang Giant Demon cried out in terror, his legs uncontrollably trembling.
Having lived through the Ancient Scourge War, he was all too familiar with the horror of the Undead Scourge.
If the entire Continent of the Gods hadn't joined forces to heavily injure the Lich King and force them back to the Bingshuang Fortress, their Demon Realm would likely have ceased to exist long ago.
"I have to run quickly!" This was the only thought in his mind now.
Just as the Bingshuang Demon King contemplated fleeing, ranks of armored, shield-bearing human soldiers appeared in the distance.
"Human Soldiers!!!"
The Bingshuang Demon King's worldview completely shattered. He never could have imagined that the Human Race would actually ally with the Scourge.
This was simply unimaginable, spine-chilling, unbelievable, and absolutely impossible.
Yet, it was happening right before his eyes!
"Damn it! The humans have allied with the Scourge Legion to conquer my Demon Realm. No, I must inform the other Demon Kings. You guys, hold them off for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Bingshuang Demon King's body burst with a blast of cold air. He immediately used his extreme speed to flee toward his city.
The Demon King's followers: "..."
At this moment, on the back of a distant Dark Magic Dragon, a handsome figure appeared, with an adorable little loli by his side. This scene was quickly spotted by the surrounding players.
"A Dark Magic Dragon and a little loli? Why does this feel so familiar?" a spectator player nearby suddenly remarked.
Not only did this player feel that way, but the other Dark Faction players around also had the same realization.
However, they had all been so shocked by the grand spectacle just now that they hadn't reacted immediately. After being reminded by that player, everyone instantly remembered.
"Isn't this God Shi Tian and his NPC little sister?"
"Holy crap, it really is God Shi Tian! Why did he come to the Demon Realm? Is he going to attack it?"
"Oh my god! Then I must betray the Demon Realm and join the Light Faction. No other reason than because I'm a die-hard fan of God Shi Tian."
"God Shi Tian has become even stronger. If I had even one-tenth of his combat power, I'd wake up laughing from my dreams."
