Seeing this, all the demon kings showed expressions of "I knew it!"
After all, it's an ancient site. If there were no barriers and any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter, wouldn't things be in complete chaos?
As for that sixth-grade beast that was already dead beyond any doubt, who would care whether it lived or died?
To gain benefits, one must naturally bear the corresponding risks. If it hadn't misjudged its own strength and dared to wade into these troubled waters, it wouldn't have met its end here.
Compared to the indifference of the demon kings, Wang Zheng was also drenched in cold sweat as he watched the sixth-grade beast perish instantly.
Even though that sea serpent was only a sixth-grade creature, to be fair, judging from the aura it exuded, it was already quite powerful.
Although Wang Zheng believed that his strength and methods could crush his opponent, the fact that any random demon king could possess such abilities still made him somewhat sober.
Even such a powerful beast couldn't cross the first hurdle, giving Wang Zheng a clearer understanding of the dangers within the ruins.
"It seems everything has been going too smoothly lately, which made me a bit overconfident. Anyway, I'll just wait here for the demon kings to kill each other and see if I can sneak in and kill a few wounded ones. I'd better not venture into these ruins..."
Just as Wang Zheng was reflecting on his actions, he saw thick, black mist rising from the passage.
The water vapor was mixed with wisps of lightning. Although these lightning bolts varied in size and density, their pitch-black color was chilling.
At the very center of the passage was a ball of lightning the size of a fist. This lightning was completely black, almost indistinguishable from the background color of the passage, which is why it was not discovered immediately.
At that moment, countless bolts of lightning erupted from here, striking the sea serpent to death before slowly retreating.
The numerous demon kings were startled by this sudden change, realizing that if they wanted to enter this passage, this strange black lightning would be the first test...
Faced with this sudden turn of events, all the demon kings present fell silent, pondering how to protect themselves, and most importantly, how to guard against attacks from others so they could pass through safely.
Looking at the black divine lightning in the passage, Wang Zheng had some guesses in his mind.
Old Chu visualized that the lightning after the Kang Jinlong turned white, so the black lightning now might be the legendary Xuan Shui Yin Lightning.
After all, in the Five Elements, metal is white and water is black. In addition, this ruin is located in the deep sea, and the sealed Yingyu demon is a water-attribute demon beast. It is almost certain that it is the real thing.
Just as Wang Zheng was pondering how these demon kings would break the deadlock, a male and a female demon king were staring intently at the enormous thunder vortex to his right, their faces filled with shock and greed.
However, despite their greedy expressions, they had a clear understanding of their own abilities and knew that they were not strong enough, so they did not rush into the entrance of the passage immediately.
The two demon kings glanced around and spotted Wang Zheng, who was also looking into the distance. They exchanged a smile, then transformed into two streaks of light and flew past, landing instantly in front of Wang Zheng...
At this moment, Wang Zheng was still looking forward to the demon kings fighting, but seeing that although the demons were all excited, they were just quietly observing without taking any action, Wang Zheng became a little anxious.
Before Wang Zheng could think further, he sensed something unusual about his surroundings. Then, two streams of light landed in front of him, and as the emerald light twisted, they transformed into human shapes.
"This young friend looks unfamiliar. You're not from our Yellow Sea Demon Clan, are you?"
Despite his yellow teeth and hideous appearance, this burly demon king speaks fluent Mandarin, clearly one of the demon kings roaming the waters of China.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng didn't say anything, but secretly became more vigilant, ready to slip away at any moment.
"I see you're all alone, handsome, why don't you and my brother keep me company..."
As they were talking, another scantily clad female demon king approached them as if they were old friends, flaunting her charms and trying to get closer.
"Who the hell do you think you are?!"
Before the other party could even speak, Young Master Wang unhesitatingly hurled the already condensed candle flame at the demon king's face. At the same time, he manipulated the crimson cloud to quickly circle around, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye...
When the female demon king saw that her charm had failed and that she had been burned black by a candle flame, she was so angry that she cursed loudly.
"Damn brat, if you fall into my hands, I'll skin you alive!"
Sensing the absolute high temperature and the violently raging energy contained within the candle flames before him, the burly man pondered for a long time.
Ordinary flames would have no effect on sea monster kings like them, but seeing their lover suffer a loss under this strange black fire, they were somewhat wary.
"Forget it, this one's too difficult. Let's change targets. There are so many demon kings here, finding one alone shouldn't be hard. If we run into it again once we're inside the ruins, we'll figure something out then!"
Now that things have come to this, it's not hard to see that these two demon kings originally thought Wang Zheng was inexperienced because he was unfamiliar with him and looked too young. They wanted to use this as a breakthrough to trick him into exploring the ruins together and make him cannon fodder.
Whether you use them as tools or kill them after you're done to replenish your own energy, it's better than putting yourself in danger.
However, their little schemes could not be hidden from the cunning and shrewd Young Master Wang.
Not to mention that he wouldn't have complete trust in anyone, not even a human grandmaster, let alone these fierce-looking demon kings.
Of course, even if someone is good-looking, that won't work!
Seeing trouble coming his way, Wang Zheng didn't waste any words with them. He simply abandoned his post and ran away, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
This thwarted the two demon kings' wicked schemes.
At this moment, the two demon kings could only swallow their anger. They knew all too well that this kid was no pushover, and that the flame he had just unleashed was merely a warning. So, they stopped dwelling on it and sheepishly went to find the next unlucky victim...
