Chapter 1023 A Thousand Faces



The Chinese people stared in disbelief at Wu Ning, who had already walked up to the Peacock Demon King.

If it were said that these foreign masters rebelled, that would be one thing, since they were never on the same side anyway, and they didn't include these extraordinary individuals in their defenses anyway.

It was a small precaution, just a temporary ally in the fight against the Peacock Demon King.

But you should know that Wu Ning was sent by the capital to help them guard the ruins, and he even fought with the peacock in Yunnan.

His sudden betrayal was hard for everyone to accept...

He showed no reaction to the jeers and abuse from the crowd, his face stiff as if he were not human.

At this moment, Huang Qi, who had been rescued from the chaotic center of the battlefield by his comrades at great risk, finally woke up slowly after treatment. However, he was now pale as paper and barely breathing. It was uncertain whether he would have the strength to fight again or even survive.

After this turn of events, only a handful of people on the Chinese side are still capable of putting up a fight.

Looking at Wu Ning in the distance, Huang Qi felt increasingly uneasy.

"No, that's not right, this guy isn't Wu Ning."

Having been betrayed, Grandmaster Huangqi personally sensed the aura emanating from the other party and, noticing the anomaly, cried out in anguish:

"You're not human, who are you?!"

Upon hearing Huang Qi's warning, the group of extraordinary individuals finally realized that Wu Ning's aura was indeed very strange.

Although his appearance, aura, and voice were exactly the same as ordinary people, he did not release his Dharma form at this critical moment. Instead, he was surrounded by a faint halo.

Upon closer inspection, it appears more like the colorless radiance emitted from the compressed demon king's domain...

Master Huangqi's face was pale and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood after speaking harshly. He only regained some of his composure after being given a bottle of medicine.

But everyone knows that this grandmaster's brain core has now self-destructed, and he can no longer regain his former strength.

At this moment, Wu Ning was completely unconcerned about the curses from the Chinese people. He grinned at an odd angle, and when he looked at him now, he no longer had any grandmaster's demeanor, and he didn't even look like a human anymore.

In no time, it transformed from a human with a short goat beard into a strange, viscous mass that kept surging. Its body contained countless severed limbs, some of which were from strange beasts and others from humans, making it look extremely disgusting.

However, now that he was no longer hiding his true nature, the aura emanating from him was clearly that of a demon king.

Huang Qi let out a sigh of relief, looked at the strange demon king in the distance, and said with a wry smile:

"I always said that you never use your full strength when facing an enemy, as if you're just going through the motions, and you don't even activate your Dharma Form."

I thought all the grandmasters from the capital looked like this, but I never imagined they had been secretly replaced.

"How pitiful, how pitiful! I, Huang Qi, have been blind all my life to have failed to recognize your identity. I'm afraid the Peacock Demon King's ability to appear here the moment the ruins opened is also thanks to you..."

The strange demon king whom the group had never seen before did not answer, but instead, the peacock demon king answered their questions.

"Please stop cursing. We've reached this level; arguing over words is beneath our dignity. Besides, this is my demon king. Although he comes from overseas, he is a true demon, not a grandmaster of your human race."

At this moment, Father Leo, who had retreated to the back of the crowd, looked at the pool of writhing slime and seemed to remember something, muttering to himself:

"I have heard that across the ocean, in the endless rainforest, there lives a low-level monster called the Mud Monster."

It is said that this strange beast was only of the first rank and extremely weak. It could hardly condense spiritual energy crystals, and even an ordinary person could easily kill it. Therefore, it had become extinct in that dangerous wilderness.

However, this weak creature has a very powerful characteristic: it can simulate all the information of a creature whose strength is no greater than its own by devouring it.

"This demon king does look quite similar to such a weak creature, but how can a mere first-grade beast become a demon king?"

Although his voice wasn't loud, everyone present heard him. The Peacock Demon King clapped his hands and laughed, offering an explanation:

"The priest is indeed knowledgeable; he even knows about the weak and strange beasts in this wild land."

You're right. It's just a pity that these strange beasts are not only extremely weak and slow-moving, but they can't even catch ordinary rabbits or squirrels in the wild. They either starve to death or are slaughtered by other strange beasts in the dangerous wilderness. There are probably very few left alive in the world.

But one day, a little guy who was born with intelligence suddenly appeared in this huge clan. Not only was he a fourth-grade person from birth, but his spiritual energy value was also dozens of times that of his clan.

Through continuous devouring and evolution, its strength has been constantly increasing. Not only did it break through the shackles of level, but it was also fortunate enough to survive the terrifying transformation tribulation.

I named him Thousand Faces. I wonder if you all think it's a very fitting name?

Upon hearing the Peacock Demon King reveal these secrets, Huang Qi already knew he didn't intend to leave any survivors, but even so, he couldn't help but ask:

"So you organized the siege of the alien beasts and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Yunnan just to plant this so-called Thousand-Faced Demon King in China?"

The Peacock Demon King showed great disdain for Grandmaster Huangqi's questioning.

"What do you know about my longing? Forget it, I won't waste my breath on you. Why ask so many questions when you're about to die? Just die with those questions in mind."

As the space stabilized once again, the Peacock Demon King waved his hand, and a flash of blue and yellow divine light enveloped the masters of China.

However, he seemed to have deliberately overlooked those foreign masters. For a moment, Father Darrow and the vampire prince retreated, indicating that they had no intention of opposing him.

Faced with the numerous demon kings who had already surrounded them, Huang Qi grabbed the lightning-type female grandmaster who was about to fight to the death.

"Xiao Cao, listen to me, this peacock probably wants to kill us all today."

The sea monster king is a disorganized bunch and not to be feared, and foreign superhumans are not worth relying on. You are the fastest. In a moment, we will all exert all our strength and self-destruct collectively, hoping to shatter this ruin space.

If we succeed, don't linger after you leave; go straight to the capital.

Although the peacock said there was only one such ever-changing mud monster, there were quite a few grandmasters who fought against them in Yunnan that day.

If there are still remnants of the demon race hiding among them, the consequences would be unimaginable. It can now be preliminarily confirmed that these strange demon kings cannot use their Dharma forms; this can serve as a verification method…”
