Chapter 213
The Fifth Demon King stared at the person approaching him. When his eyes finally cleared up, he completely recognized who he was. His pupils suddenly shrank: "...Su Xingyuan?!"
It raised its eyes in disbelief. In its field of vision, the faint blue flame kept flowing and burning. The crown was like a sharp thorn, stirring into its brain and destroying all its cognition from the beginning to now.
"Impossible... This aura can only be the Lord of Hell, but how can the Lord of Hell be you?! Aren't you the chosen savior?"
"Savior……?"
The dark-haired hunter tilted his head slightly and repeated the name. Then, he smiled and said casually: "When did I ever say that I am the savior?"
The fifth demon king paused.
Its body suddenly turned cold.
Su Xingyuan...has indeed never acknowledged his identity as the savior.
He accepted all the titles and expectations that others put on him, and did the work of a savior, but he was not a savior at all!
He deceived everyone!
The fifth demon king could not accept this fact. He stared at the blue flames that symbolized his master's identity with bloodshot eyes: "Impossible, you must be lying to me...! I am one of the six demon kings of hell. I have never heard of the existence of a co-lord in hell! You are not even a human... What makes you the master of hell? What gives you the right?!"
Why, why, why? !
The fifth demon king's scales exploded and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
How could Su Xingyuan be the Lord of Hell? !
If he is really the Lord of Hell, then who have they been fighting against all this time? Who killed the third and sixth demon kings?
——They were enemies of their own lords and were killed by their own lords!
How ridiculous and absurd!
What's even more ridiculous is that the real Lord of Hell didn't admit his identity and take over hell earlier, but instead ran to the side of humans, helping them fight against monsters, and even acknowledged his identity as the savior!
The Fifth Demon King felt that his soul was dizzy. He looked around and under the aura of the Lord of Hell, the previously restless native monsters all quieted down. The Demon King's army he brought with him, like the native monsters that had just been suppressed by the Demon King's aura, all prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to make any other moves.
The fifth devil then finally admitted that the human being in front of him, whom he had always thought was the savior, was actually the master of hell.
"…Why on earth would you hide it to such an extent? Hell is your hell! Why would you go against your own people?!"
The Fifth Demon King said with hatred, and he even doubted everything that happened before: "Were all the things that happened before just a show? How did you escape from the hands of the Fourth Demon King, kill the Sixth Demon King with your ultimate burst, and kill the Third Demon King at a huge cost... You performed all of this for those humans, right? As long as you want, they will bow down before you, right?"
Su Xingyuan was amused by its guess: "Acting? You misunderstood me. It's just that you didn't ask and I didn't tell you. Isn't the truth revealed to you?"
The reason why the [Shock] skill that came with the [Lord of Hell] profession was not used frequently at that time was very simple. The effect of [Deterrence] is 100% linked to his strength. If the gap in strength between himself and the person being deterred is too big, it will definitely not have any good effect. Moreover, once the deterrence fails, or if his actual human identity is discovered, the monsters who realize his profession will only become more crazy and want to kill him.
Facing the Demon King with the [Shock] buff before your strength is fully developed, isn't it the same as just leaving the Novice Village, carrying a level one wooden stick and happily finding the Big BOSS and saying "I bet you can't kill me"?
Of course, if he had a second angel's blessing, he would really like to try this out.
"As for resisting the invasion of monsters, it's like going against hell..."
The black-haired Lord of Hell curved his eyes gently, but his voice was calm and almost indifferent: "I didn't know...it turns out that you monsters can also speak on behalf of Hell."
The fifth demon king's body suddenly stiffened.
It has now reacted - their demon king claims to be the ruler of hell, but he is also a creature that grew up in hell. He can only be regarded as the most powerful monster in hell, and he suppresses ordinary monsters at an absolute level. At the end of the day, they are still parasites of hell.
And the master of hell, the owner of this land - is the true master of hell chosen by hell himself and represents its will.
Therefore, Su Xingyuan is indeed not a savior, nor is he deliberately acting. He is just fulfilling his duties and expelling these "parasites"!
The Fifth Demon King, who originally wanted to go on a killing spree to stretch his muscles, was dazzled by the impact of this oncoming fact that overturned all his previous concepts. At the same time, he also became more clear that if Su Xingyuan was really just a savior, he might have a chance of winning if he met him here - there is no demon king who is not confident in his own strength. After all, this is based on countless bloody fights, and those who can become demon kings have fought one battle after another.
But when Su Xingyuan was not the savior, but the Lord of Hell...the original 60% or even 70% chance of winning instantly became one tenth!
How could it not be affected if one had to constantly fight under the magical aura given off by higher-level beings? Even if it is a demon king, it cannot escape the distinct and irresistible hierarchy of Hell.
But it doesn't want to die.
When it learned that Su Xingyuan's true identity was the Lord of Hell, and that his goal was to clear out these parasites for his territory, it knew that the other party would never let it go just because it lived in hell.
If you want to survive, there is only one way... that is to fight!
Su Xingyuan is just of noble status. Hasn't he yet completely reclaimed Hell? The most fatal thing is that his body is just a human body. No matter how many halos he has, he cannot escape the inherent limits of the human gene level!
As long as the Lord of Hell is killed, hell will become a no-man's land again, and their demon king will still be the highest-ranking existence in hell!
It wants to see how long this pressure from the Lord of Hell can last!
Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed across the fifth demon king's vertical pupils. It pretended to be suppressed by the black-haired hunter's magic pressure and unable to move. It was shocked by the information the other party had revealed. In fact, it was patiently waiting for the enemy to approach step by step, and then waited until the moment the enemy came in front of it -
The beautiful monster with feminine characteristics revealed its hideous true face. Its hair turned into countless worms, its teeth instantly became sharper, the poreless facial skin was torn from the center, and the huge mouthparts protruded from its skull, rushing towards the black-haired hunter who was within reach like a lightning strike!
The Fifth Demon King's speed and reaction ability are also outstanding among monsters of the same level. Under such a close-range attack, even if it is still under the suppression of the Lord of Hell, it is confident that this attack will never miss!
However, the expected touch of flesh and blood did not exist at all. When the mouthparts closed and only cold air entered the mouth, the Fifth Demon King Chaos' brain suddenly woke up, realizing that the other party's identity as the Lord of Hell was completely different from what he had expected, and he had no idea about Su Xingyuan's current level of strength.
Otherwise, given the assumed speed of a human hunter, how could he possibly dodge its attack?
Even it itself cannot completely guarantee that it can avoid its own attack!
When it realized this, a chill ran through its body. Without stopping, it turned over and ran away without hesitation!
Sure enough, the moment it left its original place, a sharp blade energy remained at its side, and it was only a little bit away from cutting its entire body in half!
In its brain, the black-haired hunter who suddenly appeared with a knife in one hand did not have any negative emotions even though he missed the attack. Instead, he looked at its back and smiled slightly.
The fifth demon king's scales suddenly stood up and he felt terrified!
It suddenly realized that since Su Xingyuan had the ability to open a portal anywhere in the territory, why did he choose this desert?
Could this... be just a coincidence?
The feeling of being in an increasingly bad mood was growing stronger, but as it was being hunted by the black-haired hunter, it had no time to think too much and could only run for its life and find a way to fight back!
Finally, just when its brain had finally found the weakness of the black-haired boy behind it and was ready to stop and inflict heavy damage to the Lord of Hell in exchange for injury, an extremely dazzling light suddenly rushed straight into its eyes, forcing it to subconsciously close its eyes; then, the pain as if pierced by countless ice cones instantly spread throughout its body!
“Ahhhh!!”
The fifth demon king screamed uncontrollably. He tried hard to open his eyes, but found that in the seemingly smooth sand, there was a metal ring the size of a bracelet!
"...A trap?!"
The fifth demon king immediately recognized what the ring was.
The moment it passed through this area, the animal cage was activated, and layer after layer of restrictions on the ring were put on it, piercing into its body, trapping it in a small space, making it unable to move!
“You drove me this way on purpose…” The Fifth Demon King felt pain all over his body. He stared at the slowly approaching black-haired hunter with red eyes: “You actually have this kind of thing… Where did you find the trap?!”
"You'll have to ask your dead companions about that." Su Xingyuan said innocently, "After all, I'm not very familiar with you guys, and I don't have the time to study your weaknesses in advance and find targeted weapons. However, the other demon kings with long lifespans seem to be very interested in finding your fatal weakness."
“I see…” The Fifth Demon King was completely deflated and sneered, “You can’t even rest in peace even after death. You are such a waste… In the end, you are making wedding clothes for others.”
Su Xingyuan: “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for this.”
"Then why are you still keeping me here? Why don't you take this opportunity to kill me and save your followers?"
Su Xingyuan said: "The reason for not killing you is very simple."
He tilted his head slightly, raised his hand and waved it, and the animal trap that was infused with his magic power instantly lit up and continued to rise!
Soon, this amazingly bright cage and the demon king inside the cage, who had been so smug not long ago, could be seen from all over the territory!
The restrictions on the ring became stronger, and blood began to flow from the gaps between every scale on the Fifth Demon King's body. Its pain and fear of death were deliberately magnified countless times, just like the pressure of the devil released when it stepped into here, spreading across the entire territory.
The monsters that had almost lost their ability to resist under the magical aura of the Lord of Hell were directly frozen in place by the influence. Their survival instinct made them subconsciously lose all strength to struggle and resist when they realized that even the top existences above their heads were in so much pain.
The fifth demon king noticed all this.
It couldn't tell whether it was trembling from pain or fear. It trembled in humiliation and said, "You're using me... to scare the monkeys?"
Su Xingyuan drank several bottles of magic recovery potions. The next second, the portal that was originally closed to deal with the fifth demon king opened again. Countless monsters or demon generals walked out of the door, but the next moment they were enveloped by the pain and despair of the Demon King.
Su Xingyuan smiled at it.
"Of course. After all, you know very well that it is not easy to maintain the output of the Lord of Hell's pressure with a human body, right?"
The Fifth Demon King instantly realized that his inner thoughts at that time had been completely seen through by the black-haired hunter long before the attack.
"Fortunately, you are here to do it." A portal opened again behind him. "Thank you so much, Demon Lord."
As soon as the words fell, the black-haired figure disappeared.
.
With the departure of the Lord of Hell, the terrifying pressure that was simply breathtaking began to slowly dissipate.
Leafa sensed something from the monsters' state, and murmured with lifeless eyes: "Lord... you really kept a big secret..."
Even she has always believed that the Lord is the savior of the world!
It’s not that she is overconfident, but in the entire territory, her trust in the lord should be ranked among the top, right? The fact that she was completely unaware of this was enough to prove just how far the black-haired boy could go when he wanted to keep a secret.
As for the territory issue, when she didn't know the lord's true identity, she really thought that this was one of the lord's special abilities as the most powerful hunter. As for the monsters in the territory, with the Lord's personal charm, he has conquered the dungeon. Isn't it natural that the monsters bred behind the dungeon will submit to the Lord?
...She really didn't expect that she had been living in hell all along!
Leafa's condition is fine. After all, she has been with Su Xingyuan for a long time, so she would not be particularly surprised by anything Su Xingyuan does. But the three old men who had just joined this big family were now in deathly silence.
The conjecture that Su Xingyuan = Savior = Lord of Hell struck them like a bolt from the blue.
"What on earth is the world consciousness thinking--?" Finally, one of the old men couldn't help but let out a sharp roar, "It fished out the Lord of Hell to save the world???"
How could he say that the savior's character was completely unorthodox? Could the Lord of Hell be even a little bit related to the savior?
Another old man said in a trance: "It could also be that... the savior who was abducted back by the world consciousness was abducted by hell before becoming the savior?"
The last old man: "..."
The last old man said: "Doesn't that make world consciousness even more useless?"
How could the savior you chose be intercepted halfway? Su Xingyuan has not abandoned it and humans, and has turned to love the Demon King. He really has good character!
"Let's not talk about the world consciousness for now," the grumpy old man questioned his soul, "so we are living in hell now?"
The other two: "..."
Just the fact that this question is raised makes the whole thing seem like hell.
So how did things develop to this point?

Chen Wei took a deep breath and hid deep in the parking shed with the child he had just rescued. He forced himself to remain calm and took out his cell phone, ignoring the swarms of monsters outside.
He guessed that there might be a lot of monsters, but he never expected there would be so many!
The moment the portal opened in the sky, the monsters that swarmed out were like an impenetrable black cloud!
Even though there is only this one portal connecting several nearby cities, the monsters pouring out of it are enough to make people terrified!
Chen Wei originally planned to stay in the dormitory and not go out. Under such circumstances, running around outside would only make him die faster. What's more, his school happened to be not far from the portal. Although support arrived quickly, he still faced tremendous pressure, which was not something an ordinary student could cope with.
But as he was anxiously refreshing the nearby updates, he saw a post asking for help from a shopping mall next to the school.
[We hid in the dressing room on the second floor of the mall. There was a monster wandering around in the shop outside and we couldn't get out at all. But I just saw a baby carriage on the first floor with a sleeping child inside. I don't know where the parents are... Can anyone come and rescue us? ! No phone calls can be made now! ! 】
Chen Wei opened the picture and saw that the shopping mall was just behind his dormitory building across a main road. With his speed, he could get there in two minutes by climbing out the window and going downstairs!
but……
Chen Wei subconsciously paused in his movement to stand up.
Apart from being a little faster, he had no other advantages. If he went down rashly, he would probably only cause trouble for the rescue workers... But if he waited one more second, the child might have died.
He held his phone tightly, obviously extremely conflicted and hesitant, but he couldn't help but think of the day when he returned to school during the summer vacation.
It was then that Su Xing saved him.
The feeling of being beheaded in the next second and seeing someone stand in front of him without hesitation... He will never forget it in his life.
Chen Wei closed his eyes. He remembered what Su Xingyuan had said in the group, and quickly typed in the chat box the same words he had blurted out that day: "Su God save me ahhhhh", then he put his phone in his pocket, climbed out the window, went downstairs, and started running towards the mall!
Su Shen said that if he knew his location, he would definitely be able to come and rescue him before the last moment. He just needed to get to the child!
Chen Wei was able to escape from the monster on his own for a while at school. After that incident, he had undergone rigorous training and could burst out at an even higher speed between life and death. Relying on his survival instinct, he constantly used buildings and obstacles to distance himself from the monster. He rushed all the way to the mall and saw the baby carriage hidden in the corner at a glance.
Caught up!
Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he breathed a sigh of relief again - there were too many monsters around, and in the mall, he would easily be surrounded by monsters. Without having time to think too much, Chen Wei grabbed the sleeping child in the stroller and ran directly to the parking shed. After taking a look outside, his heart stopped - the road without any obstacles was blocked by monsters!
Almost instinctively, he hid deep in the parking shed with the child in his arms before the guy saw him.
Chen Wei: God bless the monsters, don’t come over, don’t come over, don’t come over…
The heavy footsteps slowly but surely approached.
Chen Wei: …
His heart sank slightly, he was sure that he had not been seen by the monster, so it was very likely that this monster's sense of smell was much more sensitive than other low-level monsters he had seen.
It is looking for its food. Until something more delicious attracts him, I'm afraid they will be his most desired prey now.
