Chapter 2742
“You arrogant old fool, I’m ready to attack your Demon Emperor City right now so you can witness it for yourself!”
With those words, Li Xing swung the scimitar he held and shouted, “Charge!”
After losing his Heaven Opening Axe to Kai, Li Xing had opted for this machete instead!
“Charge!”
Thousands of soldiers echoed his command, rallying as they surged toward Demon Emperor City!
The Demon Emperor observed the troops below and the self-satisfied Li Xing, a cold gleam in his eye. “You little brat, it looks like I need to show you who’s in charge!”
With that resolve, Emperor Yih prepared to personally capture Knight Star from the heart of the advancing army!
However, before he could act, a long, cold blade was suddenly pressed against his neck!
The voice of Huben came from behind the Demon Emperor!
Surprise flashed in Yih’s eyes, quickly followed by fury as he recognized Huben’s voice!
“Huben, what are you doing?”
Princess Isha gasped in shock, shouting at Huben!
“How dare you betray your master!”
Elder Pei was equally astonished, roaring at Huben in disbelief!
“Hahahaha, regicide? After years of loyalty, what did I receive in return? Nothing, not even recognition!”
“Princess Isha would rather be with a human than acknowledge me. To them, I’ll always be just a mere henchman!”
“This life is pointless. I refuse to remain some insignificant guard general; I want to be the Demon Emperor and rule all of Demon Emperor City.”
“Then every woman I desire will follow me, including Isha, who will no longer be a princess but merely my plaything!”
Huben’s mad laughter filled the air, his hair whipping in the wind as madness danced in his eyes!
At that moment, with Huben’s laughter, the city gates swung open, and Li Xing charged in with his troops!
“Huben, you traitor! I’ll kill you!”
Princess Isha nearly exploded with fury at Huben’s betrayal, stepping forward to confront him!
But Elder Pei stopped her, urging, “Calm down, Princess! The Demon Emperor’s life is at stake; don’t act rashly!”
“Princess Isha, if you want to keep your father alive, you better cooperate!”
Huben grinned coldly as he spoke!
Princess Isha glared at Huben, her anger simmering, yet she felt powerless!
Meanwhile, Li Xing reached the top of the city wall, smirking at the restrained Ichthus Demon Emperor. “Didn’t you claim I could never breach your Demon Emperor City? Well, here I am, right in front of you!”
The Demon Emperor Yih regarded the defiant Li Xing, his expression calm and unperturbed. “You really think a mere sword can control me? I could eliminate you both in an instant, do you believe that?”
“I don’t believe you. My life is right here; come and take it!”
Li Xing taunted the Ichthus Demon Emperor.
“You’re asking for death…”
Li Xing’s provocation ignited the fury of the Ikh Demon Emperor, his aura flaring as he prepared to respond!
A fierce wind surged, but as the Ikh Demon Emperor was about to strike, his expression shifted to one of agony!
At the same moment, Princess Isha collapsed, clutching her abdomen in pain!
“Demon Emperor, Princess…”
Elder Pei saw this and instantly panicked!
The Yih Demon Emperor felt as if his internal organs were being twisted by knives, unable to muster his strength as his breath slipped away!
Li Xing laughed heartily, declaring, “Hahaha! You think I’d lead an attack on your Demon Emperor City without a plan?”
The meal you had last night was laced with my poison—a colorless, tasteless toxin that drains your power…”
