Seeing Wang Zheng's arrogant and conceited demeanor, coupled with his aura that was completely different from any other demon king or half-demon, the Peacock Demon King couldn't help but fall into thought.
I started to think back to whether there was anything special about my growth process.
Yes, there are.
He usually cultivates faster than his brothers, his thinking is clearer, and he awakens to the true nature of things much earlier than ordinary beasts.
Moreover, he easily survived even the transformation tribulation, which is a near-death experience for any beast.
Suddenly, she began to imagine more of Wang Zheng's lies, and a faint sense of anticipation crept into her heart.
Whether human or demon, the more scheming someone is, the more they think, and the more they think, the deeper they fall into trouble.
This wave, this wave is called targeting clever devils.
What Wang Zheng said was utter nonsense; it was all made up by him.
The Peacock Demon King's current perception was merely the Manam effect arising from his own self-perception.
His rapid cultivation was naturally due to his early awakening and absorption of more spiritual energy. In addition, peacocks, being exotic beasts, inherently possessed some spirituality, and his early enlightenment was simply due to his extensive experience in the world.
The transformation tribulation was even more successful because the natural grotto-heavens were still there at that time, and his strength was high with a high concentration of spiritual energy. There was no reason why he would not succeed.
But at this moment, he felt a sense of anticipation, and he felt that he was special in every way.
Upon realizing this, the Peacock Demon King directly mocked:
"You keep claiming to be a descendant of a divine beast, how are you going to prove it? Are you trying to use this to get closer to me? How ridiculous!"
Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Wang Zheng put on an angry face, as if being questioned was a huge insult.
Wang Zheng casually picked up the two emerald green bone and tooth longswords left behind by the dead venomous python king and hurled them directly at the peacock demon king, shouting at the same time:
"You're the one who's ridiculous! As the only heir of the Zhen Emperor, who would dare to impersonate me when I reveal my true form!"
Do I need to prove it?
You're blind to my worth; do I need to get closer to you?
You think you're worthy?!
If you dare insult me again, even if I die on the spot, none of you will live!
At this moment, Wang Zheng's face was ashen, his eyes blazing with fire, and his expression was ferocious; he was clearly furious to the extreme.
In the eyes of the demon kings, coupled with Wang Zheng's murderous expression, it seemed as if the red mist behind him was faintly condensing into the shape of that ferocious beast, which made everyone more vigilant.
Of course, with Wang Zheng's current strength, although the bone knife he threw out had some power, it was really a pipe dream to think that it could hurt this group of demon kings.
He simply wanted to express his stance: a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!
As for whether he regretted throwing those two bone knives, which were clearly not ordinary objects, he naturally did.
However, Wang Zheng couldn't possibly abandon his Miao sword, after all, they had developed feelings for each other over time.
Upon seeing the poisoned blades hurtling towards him, the Peacock Demon King stood rooted to the spot without moving. The two bone knives were repelled by his powerful aura the instant they approached, and then fell to the ground alone.
Despite being insulted by Wang Zheng, the Peacock Demon King was not angry. Instead, he became even more convinced that this hothead in front of him had a remarkable background and wanted to know more secrets.
So he immediately stopped his trusted aides who wanted to stand up for him, and continued to say with a smile:
"Young man, don't be angry. It doesn't matter if even we don't recognize your background, but you can't just let this matter pass based on your empty words, can you?"
Wang Zheng spoke angrily: "You neither fight nor retreat, what exactly do you intend to do?"
The more Wang Zheng lost control of his emotions, the more the Peacock Demon King believed he was just a hothead, so he said with a smile:
"Young friend, you are so young yet you are so strong. As a half-demon, you were able to take on the Demon King and kill him. Your future is truly limitless."
"I greatly admire such a rising star as you who has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And the divine beast you just mentioned is something that we demon kings yearn for. I wonder what realm it is at."
Wang Zheng scoffed: "A divine beast is a divine beast; it has nothing to do with any realm."
So-called divine beasts are creatures born of nature, primordial beings with ancient bloodlines. Those that have survived to this day are all exceptionally noble. As the natural kings among all demon races, they possess a bloodline suppression over other strange beasts—this is what makes them divine beasts.
"So, in your words, young friend, would you be considered a divine beast?"
Wang Zheng said with a helpless self-deprecating laugh:
"I have only been born for a little over ten years, so of course I am not. I only have a trace of my father's blood."
"A mere trace of a divine beast's bloodline possesses such power?"
Seeing Wang Zheng's dismissive answer, the Peacock Demon King asked again:
"Then what is this 'honor' of the peacock clan that you mentioned before?"
Wang Zheng frowned, then asked:
"Tell me, what is your name?"
The Peacock Demon King feigned magnanimity and laughed heartily.
"We beasts seek only a carefree life, so why should we, like humans, give ourselves some kind of name? Young brother, if you'd be so kind as to call me Peacock Demon King, or if you don't like that, just call me Peacock. I am the Peacock Clan, and I am the Peacock."
Upon hearing such boastful words, Wang Zheng's eyes widened, and he shouted in rebuke.
"Absurd! They can't even remember the names of their own ancestors, yet they dare to talk about seeking freedom and ease. It's laughable."
