Chapter 3

=================

The person floating in the air was dressed in a black gilded robe, with a tall and slender figure. The silver chains on his collar jingled, and his sharp dark red eyes stared at the person below. He twirled a palm-sized silver gun deftly between his fingers.

Seeing that no one took action, Ning Shen thought to himself, could it be that he had just arrived and had no authority, so everyone was dissatisfied?

Since you don't want to take the initiative, he won't be polite.

When he was still, Ning Shenyi could not feel the existence of the demonic energy at all. However, when he consciously mobilized it, he found that the demonic energy that was everywhere in his body began to flow slowly according to his will.

It was a feeling that was difficult to describe. Ning Chen tried to channel the devil's aura into the silver spear in his hand, only to see the palm-sized silver spear suddenly stretch and grow in his palm, becoming almost as tall as a person. The head of the silver spear was a multi-faceted diamond, each side of which reflected dazzling white light, and the sharp tip of the spear made people afraid.

The demons were extremely sensitive to the demonic aura of the same kind. Almost at the moment when Ning Chen introduced the demonic aura into the silver spear, they felt the oppressive aura coming from deep in their blood.

This action seemed to finally detonate the demons' tense nerves.

Just to say, how could the Demon Lord be so kind-hearted? But he still used unfounded excuses to eliminate dissidents!

The burly demon holding the double axes was stimulated by Ning Chen's demonic energy, and he instantly released his own demonic energy. He gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and with his Qi sinking into his Dantian, he shouted loudly, raised the heavy double axes, and chopped towards Ning Chen.

Ning Chen's expression froze, and he dodged the sharp edge of the spear, deftly tapping the axe from the side. Ning Chen's original intention was to use his skill to split the fiercely chopped weapon, but at the moment when the spear and the axe collided, the demonic energy in Ning Chen's palm seemed to have suddenly found some delicious prey, and it rushed out with its fangs and claws, swallowing up most of the demon's demonic energy in an instant.

The clash of weapons was meaningless.

In the blink of an eye, the calm demonic aura flowed along the spear tip into the hard double axes, and in a moment, tiny cracks appeared on the broad axe surfaces.

With a clang, the double axes weighing more than a thousand pounds broke into pieces.

The burly demon holding the double axes screamed, and was burned by Ning Chen's demonic breath, causing severe pain all over his body. Thanks to the double axes shattering at the moment when the demonic breaths of both sides clashed, Ning Chen's demonic breath was barely stopped and did not penetrate further into the demon's meridians.

In this confrontation, the outcome is definitely not in suspense.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Ning Chen had never expected that the demonic breath would be so difficult to control. The demons who tried to gather together for a counterattack had not expected that the strength of Demon Lord Tian Xiao had reached such a level that he could crush other demons with his demonic breath alone. Even the demon axes forged from the three most hard earth fire crystals in the demon world could not withstand the demonic breath of the Demon Lord.

Looking at this scene, not only did the Demon Lord's strength not decrease after coming back from the dead, but his demonic aura became even more aggressive. How could this be possible?!

The demons below all showed shocked expressions.

Ning Chen let out a deep breath.

The demons who had participated in the final blow to the original master had originally held on to a glimmer of hope, believing that the Demon Lord would be in a weak state when he was resurrected. However, now, this little hope has been completely shattered.

The victorious king defeats the enemy, which has always been the truth. The remaining demons could not help but despair when they thought of the fate they would face.

The demons using the double axes were overwhelmed with grief when they saw their life-long weapons that they had used for many years were destroyed. They shouted hoarsely in anger, "We are all going to die anyway, so why not just charge in! There are so many of us here, is it possible that we can't do even a little damage? The demons would rather die than bow their heads! No mercy!!"

Ning Chen: “???”

No, he just wanted to find someone to serve as his sparring partner. Why do these demons look like they are fighting to the death?

I haven't even figured out how to control the tranquilizing magic breath, and the opponent fell down like a piece of paper. Not only did he fall down, but he also gave off an inexplicable feeling of being a middle school student. What's going on?

However, the funny thing was that, except for the burly demon who was burned by Ning Chen's demonic breath and suffered unbearable pain and whose life-threatening weapon was shattered, most of the demons present with despair on their faces just remained silent, as if they were not affected by the heartfelt grief and anger and were not going to fight Ning Chen desperately.

Instead, they were silent for a long while, then suddenly they all knelt on the ground with their teeth gritted, clenched their right fists and placed them on their left shoulders, performing the customary salute of the demon race, bowing their heads and saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. We are so ignorant and stupid that we have only just seen your true strength."

"From now on, we submit to Your Majesty. We hope Your Majesty will forgive us and let us go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"

The demon who was left with only his life-saving weapon damaged stood there in a daze. He looked at his fellow demons who were kneeling down and begging the Demon Lord to accept their submission, with an expression of disbelief and trance on his face.

This is fucking... embarrassing!

The demon who lost his two axes asked in disbelief with red eyes: "You are just going to give in like that? Where is your backbone? Where is your temper? Where is your pride? Where is it!"

Ning Chen supported the forehead.

He had probably come to his senses now. His words about not caring about the past were probably taken as an excuse for being double-dealing.

In their eyes, the original owner probably had no prestige at all and had a bad temper, otherwise he would not have been killed so easily.

Ning Chen was originally just looking for someone to fight, but after all this fuss, he didn't fight to his heart's content and the scene became a mess and ridiculous.

It's quite boring.

Ning Chen didn't care about followers or followers, and didn't care whether they were loyal or hypocritical. After all, he didn't have any hobbies of killing them all, and these demons didn't threaten Ning Chen, so Ning Chen didn't care.

He said indifferently: "Yes."

The demons who knelt down to submit did not expect that Demon Lord Tianxiao would agree so readily. After being stunned for a while, they could not help but secretly rejoice that this was okay, and said one after another: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only the sturdy demon who lost his life-saving double axes was dumbfounded: "Ah???"

His wails were so genuine and heartfelt that Ning Shen couldn't help but feel a subtle sympathy for him, and his remaining conscience made him take another look at the fragments on the ground that could no longer be recognized as they were before.

Ning Shen sighed secretly and searched through the memories he had just absorbed.

After finding what he wanted, Ning Chen raised his hand, aimed at the steep cliff behind the high waterfall above the Bone Refining River, and then exerted force in the air -

A piece of black stone that had broken off from the steep cliff wall fell down.

The demons opened their mouths wide.

No demon has ever been able to cross the invisible barrier and the surging bone-refining river to touch the thousand-foot steep cliff whose origin is unknown and whose end cannot be found.

It is said that the cliff was made of the bones of the first generation of Demon King. It is extremely hard. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it finally became what it is now.

Even when the demons were thrown against the towering pillar during the fight, the steep cliff was not damaged in the slightest.

Now, their Demon Lord easily picked up a stone and knocked it down.

Ning Shen went through the plot and realized that this was a good thing. At least it was much better than the pile of broken axe materials.

Ning Chen really just wanted to find someone to spar with at first, so destroying someone else's weapon was unexpected.

So he threw the stone to the demon who had lost his life-defining weapon, and said, "I'll pay you back, don't be so arrogant."

Don't feel ashamed.

The demon was startled and hurriedly caught it. When he felt the cold touch, he couldn't help but gasp.

This thing looks like an ordinary stone, but when he picked it up, he found that the stone actually contained an extremely pure demonic aura. The purity of that demonic aura is almost comparable to the concentration of the demonic aura in the Bone Refining River.

In the Demon Realm, the Bone Refining River is undoubtedly the most special existence. Since it is known as the forerunner of the demon clan, it must have its unique side.

A new demon has only one chance in its life to touch the water of the Bone Refining River, which is the moment it is born in the Bone Refining River. If it walks out of the Bone Refining River and wants to go back, it will only be dissolved by the extremely pure demonic breath in the Bone Refining River without leaving any residue.

Because of this, the demons had not dared to take the river for thousands of years. But at this moment, Ning Chen unknowingly set a precedent.

——The Demon Lord broke off a piece of stone. This stone contained the rich demonic aura of the Bone Refining River, which meant that he could now directly contact and even use the demonic aura in the Bone Refining River.

Many people in ancient and modern times have tried to get the magic energy in the Bone Refining River, but without exception, they were all swallowed up by the Bone Refining River. But now he actually got it!

Just based on this small piece of pitch-black stone, its value is already countless times more than that pile of broken axes. The Demon Lord actually said that this is a loss to him?

The demon holding the stone was probably a person who only cared about eating and not being beaten. After realizing that he had lost the sesame seeds and picked up the watermelon, he knelt down without hesitation and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty! A Kui swears to go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"

Demons: “…”

Ning Chen: “…”

No, it's just a stone. Why are you so humble? Where's your backbone? Where's your temper? Where's your pride? !

Agui leaned down, and the armor on his arms and his head hit the ground heavily, but he was not aware of it, and even his eyes were a little wet: "The magic energy in this stone can save the lives of my whole family... Thank you, Your Excellency."

If he wasn't so short of magic coins, Agui wouldn't have used a pair of axes for hundreds of years and refused to exchange them, nor would he have threatened to die just because a pair of his life axes were broken.

The stone material that contains the magic aura of the Bone Refining River is very hard, and is known to all the demons. It can be said to be a top-quality raw material for making magic weapons. If it is not used to refine weapons, the rich magic aura contained in it is already very rare. It can not only help demons to refine and advance, but also be used to study the source of the Bone Refining River. Many demons are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

This was like timely help to Agui. As long as he could sell the stone safely, the magic coins he earned would be enough for his family to survive two or three winters.

And with Ning Chen present, Agui was not afraid of others killing people and stealing treasures.

This was something that Demon Lord Tian Xiao personally sent, which meant a reward and grace from the Supreme Lord. In addition, this stone was extremely special, and it could be said that there was only one in the Demon Realm. If any demon dared to snatch it, it would be a slap in the face of the Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord investigated, no demon who had handled it would be able to escape.

"Akui was short-sighted in the past and offended His Majesty. He deserves death. I hope this worthwhile life can be sacrificed for His Majesty!"

“…”

Ning Chen suddenly didn't know what to say.

Ning Chen originally thought that the creatures living in such a high-level martial arts world would be free, and they should all be wielding swords and traveling the world with unrestrained and carefree looks. Not to mention that Tian Tian Yu Jian went to the ice field to see the snow-capped mountains and glaciers, at least they had a set of skills and magic weapons to guarantee them, and they didn't care if they occasionally drank and went crazy, and they were extremely free and unrestrained.

It turns out that there are many people who would bend down without a care for a little livelihood, and would give their lives with tears of gratitude just because others give them something.

They are so free that they have nothing, so the most precious thing they can give in return is their own life.
