The hairs on Peacock King's body stood on end, and he hurriedly moved a few feet to the side.
However, he was a fraction too slow. Suddenly, the Second Prince's body shone with golden light, and his petrified skin shattered. He transformed into a beam of golden light and struck the Peacock King.
Peacock King let out a miserable cry and spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body severely injured.
Seeing his opponent lying on the ground, no longer able to resist, the Second Prince laughed triumphantly, "I really didn't expect Queen Medusa to be able to pull this trick, but I reacted quickly enough to lure you out. As long as you die, the entire Iron Plains City will be within our grasp."
"Peacock King, what a grand name, but it's nothing special!"
After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and golden light emanated from his body again. He then blasted towards what was in front of him once more, and everything in front of him seemed to scatter in all directions like a shattered mirror.
Instead, the Peacock King stood peacefully in the distance, while Kong Nanwu had already protected Yu Yanluo, Xiaobai, and Xiaoqing, hiding beside him.
The second prince's face darkened: "Everyone says that the Peacock Clan's pupil techniques are unparalleled in the world. Just now, even I almost fell for your illusion."
The Peacock King was also somewhat surprised: "The Second Prince escaped from the illusion so easily, which is really unlike your original strength."
It should be noted that among the demon race, apart from the unfathomable sea race, below the Demon Emperor, he, the Great Golden Roc King, and the Elf King hold the highest status and position.
The demon race, which values strength above all else, doesn't care about bloodline or nobility. He earned his position through sheer strength.
As the leader of the three kings, his cultivation level was the highest among the three.
The Second Prince used to be no match for him at all, but now he is actually on par with him.
The second prince sneered, "You insist on treating demons as evil spirits, but you don't know that they have a deep connection with us. I learned some methods to stimulate the power of bloodlines from them, and my strength is now far greater than before."
"Then I'd like to see how much you've improved." Peacock King snorted coldly. He also had his own pride. It was rare to have such a close one-on-one opportunity. If he couldn't defeat a junior, he would be unhappy.
As for the soldiers under the Second Prince's command who wanted to surround and help, Yu Yanluo's beautiful hair transformed into thin snakes, letting out a silent roar at the soldiers.
Soon, all the soldiers who surrounded him turned into stone statues; they didn't have the Second Prince's skills.
The second prince hurriedly ordered, "Don't come any closer, continue the siege!"
He knew that Yu Yanluo's abilities were too strange. If he didn't take action, it would be difficult for others to do anything to her. However, he was being held back by the Peacock King and couldn't spare any attention.
He knew there was no time to fight slowly here, so he revealed his true form as the Golden Crow almost instantly, spread his wings, and immediately unleashed the Blazing Sun Sword Formation.
Countless burning feathers transformed into countless flying swords, which attacked Peacock King in a dense barrage.
Peacock King snorted, and a five-colored divine light flashed behind him. The countless flying swords fell to the ground after touching the five-colored divine light.
The second prince was not surprised by this. Soon, the feather swords returned to his wings, which transformed into two sharp blades tens of meters long. His entire body turned into a streak of light, attacking the Peacock King from all directions at a speed that was beyond the reach of the naked eye.
If it were someone else, they would likely have been cut to pieces in an instant. The Golden Crow Flowing Light is recognized by Tianpeng Zongheng as one of the two fastest movement techniques among the demon race.
However, at this moment, the Peacock King's pupils began to turn pitch black, and a golden figure was moving back and forth within them.
Soon his figure also disappeared, turning into a green light, chasing and competing with the golden light in the air.
After exchanging blows for more than a dozen rounds, the golden light broke free and returned to the Second Prince's form. He gave the Peacock King a deep look: "The King's pupil technique is indeed unparalleled!"
The opponent could see the enemy's weaknesses through his pupil technique, and could even copy the opponent's skills. Although the power was much weaker, it was still enough to hold its own, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"You flatter me. Given time, your cultivation should be able to catch up with your father. However, if he were alive and knew what you had done, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would come back to life." The Peacock King's tone was full of regret. He had watched the other party grow up since he was a child and had always recognized him as a talented person. Who knew that he would go astray in the end.
"Hmph, if he were alive, he probably wouldn't be looking for me first." The Second Prince snorted coldly. He had heard a little about the affair between Zu'an and the Little Demon Queen. The thought of his once respectful and beautiful mother, now enjoying the company of another man, filled him with resentment.
He glanced at Queen Medusa, who was watching him menacingly not far away, and then at his army, which had suffered heavy losses in the siege. After hesitating for a moment, he directly ordered a retreat: "I will ask the King for his advice another day."
He had just been ambushed and injured by Yu Yanluo, and now, facing an attack from both of them at the same time, the situation was indeed somewhat unfavorable.
Of course, he had a way to unleash even greater power through secret techniques, but he was always wary of the demons and dared not fully activate the power they granted him, fearing that he might accidentally become a slave.
Seeing him lead his troops away, King Peacock breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't confident he could keep the second prince; his strength had increased too rapidly.
He could even sense a faint danger; if he pushed the other party too far, he might die.
The Peacock lineage possessed extraordinary pupil techniques. Since he had witnessed death, he naturally dared not disbelieve it. Thus, both sides tacitly agreed to cease hostilities and allow the other to lead his army away.
