At this moment, Wang Zheng, who was suddenly ambushed, almost crashed headfirst into a cliff in the clouds in order to avoid the attack.

Fortunately, the red cloud reacted quickly and automatically adjusted its direction, narrowly missing the solitary peak that pierced the clouds. After kicking up a shower of rocks, it regained its flight altitude.

This sudden turn of events startled Wang Zheng. He hadn't expected the mountain below to be so towering. Still shaken, he looked up and saw the Crimson Flame Eagle King with its bloodshot eyes in the distance, and he began to have some guesses.

"So this place is the beast's lair? No wonder so many grandmasters from Shancheng and Jingxiang chased him all the way but couldn't catch him. They thought he had fled abroad, but they didn't expect him to be so bold as to secretly return."

At first glance, Wang Zheng recognized the demon king's identity.

Although Wang Zheng had never met the Crimson Flame Eagle King, he had some guesses about it based on its appearance and the aura of a demon king.

Not to mention, he also sensed the aura of his principal's special Platinum Lightning at the base of the other party's wings. At this moment, how could Wang Zheng not be certain of the other party's identity?

Thinking of what he had experienced in Jingxiang and Ling Youjie's serious injury and discharge from the army, Wang Zheng felt a surge of anger.

Ultimately, the sacrifices of his teammates were all thanks to this demon king. Moreover, this beast not only had congenital deficiencies, but was also injured twice by his own principal and had not yet recovered. At this moment, Wang Zheng's mood became somewhat fiery.

'This beast's aura is even weaker than the Poisonous Python Demon King when it was severely injured and self-destructed. Perhaps I don't need to run away immediately?'

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the distance.

"Is that the Crimson Flame Eagle King standing in the distance? I am a descendant of Emperor Zhang'e Zheng, why did you launch a sneak attack on me?"

"A descendant of the Zheng Emperor? You recognize me?"

Sensing the strange, inhuman aura emanating from Wang Zheng, and hearing him spouting nonsense, the Crimson Flame Eagle King was momentarily stunned.

Then, after realizing that the fiery aura he hated was emanating from Wang Zheng, the Crimson Flame Eagle King gave a cold smile.

"Trying to get close to me won't work. You've swooped over my head twice today, humiliating me in this way. I will not let you off!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's previous guess was confirmed; this really was where that beast had hidden away to heal his wounds.

It has to be said, this guy is really bold. Despite the joint encirclement and suppression by the mountain city and the Jingxiang military regions, he still dares to stay in Jingxiang and refuse to leave.

Seeing that the other party was about to attack at the slightest provocation, Wang Zheng had an idea and decided to carry out his sneaky tactics to the end.

He immediately feigned fear and shouted loudly:

"Demon King, please hold your hand. I was unaware that this was your residence for recuperation. Please forgive any offense I may have caused."

Moreover, my father is currently plotting a great undertaking with the demons of Yunnan. If the Demon King is willing, I am willing to offer a peerless spiritual fruit to help the Demon King fully recover, and then we can discuss important matters together. How about that?

As they spoke, Wang Zheng took the initiative to control the Crimson Cloud to slowly close the distance between them, and then patted Little Gold, who was trembling under the pressure of the other party's powerful aura.

While displaying his harmless side, Wang Zheng, who was stalling for time with words, had already begun to secretly gather strength in his right hand behind his back.

At this point, we have to commend the concealment of this candle flame. Although it requires spiritual energy to use, it can condense without releasing its aura and being detected.

For a cunning old fox like Wang Zheng, the ability to launch a sneak attack is a valuable skill.

Of course, it would be even better if it didn't consume the maximum amount of spiritual energy...

Upon hearing Wang Zheng's words, the Crimson Flame Eagle King's crimson eyes flickered slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.

Then, a flash of ferocity appeared in his eyes, but the savage look on his face did not fade in the slightest.

"If this spiritual fruit can be of any help to me, then we can talk. Please come forward and let me take a closer look..."

While the Crimson Flame Eagle King was still arguing with Wang Zheng, it had already begun to secretly mobilize its spiritual power, holding back its attack until Wang Zheng got close enough to deliver a fatal blow.

Ultimately, even if such a ferocious and solitary demon king is weaker in strength, he is by no means much weaker than an ordinary person in terms of mentality, and may even be more cunning and intelligent.

Even if he actually believed Wang Zheng's nonsense, given his ruthless nature, how could he possibly let Wang Zheng go?

However, Wang Zheng didn't care at all, as if he hadn't noticed the other party's hidden ferocity at all. He still foolishly approached, which made Xiao Jin beside him so anxious that he tried to run away and even split off several vines to try to wake Wang Zheng up.

Unfortunately, the Crimson Cloud was controlled by Wang Zheng with his mind, so no matter how anxious the little guy was, he couldn't budge it at all. As for the vines, Wang Zheng just treated them as tickles.

Clearly, the little fellow was frightened by the Crimson Flame Eagle King's aura and actually believed that he, as a cheap servant, had listened to the other party's nonsense and was going to exchange his own fruit for a way to survive.

While cursing Wang Zheng as an idiot in his heart, he seemed to see his own miserable end in a moment.

Xiao Jin is now filled with regret. He regrets that he was so foolish as to get on this pirate ship. Why didn't he just stay hidden underground? He could have just given all three of his spiritual fruits to this idiot. Even if he was seriously injured, it would have been better than losing his life.

It's all my fault for letting greed get the better of me. Now look what's happened, I haven't even reached my destination yet, and I've already been stopped by the Demon King...

Wang Zheng naturally had no idea what Xiao Jin was thinking, but if the little tree man couldn't sense Wang Zheng's little movements even at such a close distance, then the Crimson Flame Eagle King would be even less likely to notice them.

He was overjoyed when he saw the strange, yet intensely dynamic, movements of the little tree-man.

Especially with the three enormous fruits appearing and disappearing in the canopy as the other party moved, the naturally crippled demon king was filled with endless imagination.

Once the two sides closed the distance to a certain extent, the human and the demon, each with their own ulterior motives, attacked simultaneously.

As the Crimson Flame Eagle King spewed flames, it also laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

“If I kill you here, all these fruits will be mine.”

Moreover, I feel that your scent is even stronger than this spiritual fruit. Once I swallow you whole, you'll definitely advance further. Then I'll go find your father, the Emperor, to discuss important matters. Hahahaha…”

Wang Zheng's cunning was no less than that of the cunning demon king. After a smooth mini-boo of Thorn Heart and Fierce Battle Roar, he immediately followed up with a Candle Flame Energy Ball that had accumulated to its maximum of over 50,000 points.

The Crimson Flame Eagle King, who was still laughing wildly, felt his body involuntarily lurch forward after hearing Wang Zheng's roar, and the pillar of fire in the air immediately snapped.

Terrified, he quickly channeled the raging spiritual energy to rekindle the intermittent pillar of fire.

After seeing that the Fierce Battle Roar had limited effect on the demon king, Wang Zheng subtly curled his lip.

After throwing the Candle Flame Energy Ball in his hand, he immediately increased his speed to the maximum, circled around to the side of his opponent, and began to howl continuously.
