Hu Le was curious when he saw that the water fox demon had actually recognized him.
The other party was just a mere mountain monster; how could he possibly recognize his identity?
Moreover, he immediately recognized the monster's true form as a water monster.
As for what this yu is?
It is merely an evil substance that arises from the mingling of yin and yang, and the turbidity of water.
It is shaped like a three-legged turtle, with a horizontal strip of flesh in its mouth, and its shape resembles a crossbow.
When it senses someone passing by on the shore or in the water, it will put sand in its mouth and shoot it at the person's body or shadow. Those hit will experience muscle spasms, headaches, and fever; in severe cases, it can lead to death.
This is also the origin of the phrase "spreading rumors and insinuations"...
At this moment, the sounds of sheng and xiao (traditional Chinese wind instruments) still filled the hall, and the beige women continued their dance without stopping.
Although the water fox demon's voice was not quiet, it was drowned out by the drums and music and did not reach the ears of the demons...
Hu Le, carrying a bamboo cane, strolled up the steps and stood opposite the Water Fox Demon God, asking, "You wretched creature, you actually recognize me?"
Little did he know that this water fox demon god had once joined the demon race's divine court.
He was also a member of the demon army in the recent great battle.
However, compared to the other demon gods and demon saints, he was undoubtedly much luckier.
After the demon army was routed, many demon gods perished in that great battle, but he managed to escape...
After he fled back to his own water mansion and rested for some time, seeing that no one was chasing him, his still-shaken heart finally calmed down.
So he immediately invited his fellow demons from the surrounding area to his palace for a banquet to celebrate his escape.
But to his utter surprise, just as the banquet was in full swing, Hu Le suddenly appeared in front of him.
He was so frightened he almost lost his mind.
Upon hearing Hu Le's question, he immediately tumbled off his jade throne, knelt before Hu Le, and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life! Spare my life!"
His actions finally startled the other demons in the hall. They jumped up from their prayer mats and looked at the Water Fox Demon King and Hu Le with curiosity.
The music and dance in the hall also came to an abrupt end...
"Fellow Daoist Water Fox, what's wrong with you?"
Who is he?
"Why did you kneel down and beg for mercy?" the white-haired old demon asked loudly.
The water fox demon god hurriedly turned to them and shouted, "What do you know? This is His Majesty the Human Emperor! Why don't you come and pay your respects!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, all the demons were terrified.
Even if they had never seen Hu Le in person, they had still heard of his name...
Everyone stood there, stunned.
In their minds, the so-called Human Emperor was a great figure who could be compared with the Demon Emperor and the Demon Ancestor.
They were just ordinary demon gods and demonic cultivators.
Regardless of their status or position, they are worlds apart from those high-ranking figures.
Normally, their names are hardly worthy of being heard by those people, let alone being acquainted with them.
Now, such a lofty and legendary figure has appeared before them.
How could they not be surprised, or even panicked...?
One of the old demons reacted quickly, letting out a strange cry and shooting a beam of light towards the outside of the hall.
However, just as he flew out of the Crystal Palace, the demons saw Hu Le point towards the outside of the palace.
With a deafening roar, thunder exploded above the Crystal Palace.
Immediately afterwards, the old demon's scream rang out.
However, the cry only lasted for a moment before it abruptly stopped.
According to the senses of the demons, the old demon's life force had completely dissipated...
Upon seeing this, all the demons knew what had happened. They were so frightened that they knelt down before Hu Le.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Human Emperor."
The demons shouted in unison.
"Hmm, do you find my human people delicious as your food?"
Hu Le's somewhat indifferent voice rang out in the hall.
"Your Majesty! Spare us! We will never dare to do it again!"
The demons broke out in a cold sweat and began to plead loudly.
"Heh... You think there's a future?"
"Your Majesty! Spare us! Spare us! We know we are guilty! We beg Your Majesty to have mercy and forgive us..."
The water fox demon banged its head repeatedly, begging for mercy...
"Alas, though I have a compassionate heart, your sins are so grave that they are unforgivable. How can I extend my compassion to you?"
Hu Le remained indifferent.
These demons must have captured humans for food in the past, and before they were dealt with, those humans probably begged for mercy just like they are today.
Did they ever show the slightest bit of leniency?
Since they could act recklessly back then, they shouldn't blame him for acting recklessly now...
Seeing that Hu Le remained unmoved by their pleas, the Water Fox Demon God's heart sank further. In despair, she couldn't help but harbor evil intentions.
He suddenly looked up and spat out a cloud of black mist towards Hu Le.
The fog, carrying countless grains of sand, lashed at Hu Le like a torrential downpour.
This move was his innate supernatural ability—hidden sand projectile!
This sand is extremely poisonous. Even a Great Luo Dao Lord would die instantly from the poison if accidentally hit by it...
His attack was almost a sneak attack, and the two were only a few feet apart. With his swift and subtle movements, he didn't believe Hu Le could dodge it.
After unleashing his divine power, he gritted his teeth inwardly. So what if he's the Human Emperor? At this close range, how could he possibly evade my divine power?
But the supernatural powers of someone as powerful as Hu Le are far beyond the comprehension of a mere Golden Immortal or Demon God.
With poisonous sand right in front of him, why should Hu Le hide?
He merely glanced at the poisonous sand, and it all froze in front of him, unable to advance even an inch further.
The next instant, he blew a breath toward the poisonous sand, and the black mist, carrying the poisonous sand, swirled back and pelted the water fox, its former master, like raindrops hitting banana leaves, instantly turning him into a sieve...
Seeing this, the other demons in the hall were even more terrified. Just as they were hesitating whether to continue begging for mercy or flee, a flash of cold light flew out from Hu Le's sleeve and circled the hall like lightning.
In an instant, all the demons were cut in two...
With a flick of his finger, Hu Le slew the demons in the palace. He then summoned back the Starry Sky Sword, circled the Crystal Palace, and slaughtered all the water demons before rescuing the humans who had been captured.
After he released everyone back onto the shore, he ignored their profuse thanks, summoned a lucky cloud, and departed...
As he continued onward, getting closer and closer to Mount Renwang, the floodwaters on the land were visibly diminishing, and land exposed above the water could be seen everywhere.
On that land, various creatures, including humans, had already gathered to escape the flood.
On the same land, some lived together harmoniously, while others slaughtered each other, and still others lived their own lives without disturbing each other...
