Chapter 190 Chapter 190 "Submit to me, or perish..."
The ferocious beast-headed ring of authority was embedded in the core, and the magic circle that enveloped the entire Zhanying Hall like a golden bell was finally closed.
As the dark demonic light collapsed inch by inch from top to bottom, the ministers standing solemnly and waiting in the square in front of the palace came into Jiu Zhao's sight.
Jiu Zhao closed his eyes and walked out slowly.
The elaborately made-up face, painted with golden phoenix feathers, forms a stark contrast to the plain clothing.
She stood at the highest point of Zhanying Palace, like a pure white flag tearing through the sky.
After being surprised, the demon officials began to whisper to each other:
"Where's Your Majesty? Why did she come out alone?"
"Even the two ceremonial officers are missing—"
"What on earth happened?"
That gaze, as if it had substance, turned into thousands of arrows and shot towards Jiu Zhao.
She simply raised her left hand, which held the Ring of Power, nonchalantly, "According to the rules of the Burning Sea, whoever destroys the old king becomes the new king.
"Here is the ring of authority."
Her voice was quiet, but it easily rose above the wind and reached the ears of the ministers. "Those who disagree may come and challenge me."
There was no release of demonic pressure, no deliberate display of strength.
Jiu Zhao nonchalantly announced that Lan Qi was dead.
Compared to the tall and strong demons, she looked so frail and petite.
Many people present had witnessed the day when Wujiu shackled her with cold iron chains and walked her around the entire military camp to humiliate her.
Can she kill the powerful Karma Lord alone?
Or is he taking advantage of Ye Zun's feelings and secretly doing some tricks behind his back?
Countless doubts flashed through the minds of the ministers.
But now that the old king has fallen, some concerns are no longer concerns.
The first to attack was Yu Ling, who had a long-standing grudge against Jiu Zhao.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she gently pushed her husband beside her.
When the latter bent over and came closer, she put her hand to her lips and whispered a few words.
Immediately, the tall and burly demon minister shouted angrily:
"Just because you're a prisoner of the immortal clan, you want to be the new king of the Burning Sea? I'll execute you right here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscles under his gorgeous clothes bulged and his body was as tall as half a mountain.
With black smoke-like demonic energy lingering in his hand, he rushed towards Jiu Zhao at lightning speed!
Jiu Zhao didn't even look up at him.
When the demon minister's right hand, which had turned into a beast's claw, was about to touch the clothes on her chest, she slowly raised a finger.
"sieve--"
There was no earth-shattering collision.
Only a slight sound remained.
Her fingertips flexed and quickly drew an invisible circle.
At the same time, a circle of red flames suddenly appeared around the demon's neck.
Jiu Zhao hooked his finger downwards again, and the firelight, like a python catching its prey, precisely wrapped around the demon minister's neck and tightened with a snap of his fingers!
The demon's momentum of flying forward was forced to stop, and the ferocity on his face instantly turned into fear and pain.
He didn't have time to figure out why his own demonic energy was so completely defeated under the pressure of the flames - the next breath, he barely managed to squeeze out a half-scream from his throat, and his flesh and neck bones were twisted off by a huge force, and his headless body gushed out huge streams of hot blood.
Under Jiu Zhao's control, the demon's head was thrown in front of Yu Ling.
There was still hope of life in his stunned eyes.
He turned his eyes to Yu Ling with difficulty and tried to call her "Madam" again, but she suddenly turned into black dust that was blown away by the wind.
"ah!!!"
Yu Ling let out a heart-wrenching scream, her face as pale as paper.
A wave of fear overwhelmed her.
What revenge, what dismembering Jiu Zhao, all turned into a single thought—
That is, escape!
The instinct of survival blocked all emotions in Yu Ling's mind.
She immediately took out the life-saving talisman from her storage ring and crushed it, trying to escape from this bloody place.
However, just as her figure became transparent, Jiu Zhao appeared before her eyes without any warning like a ghost:
"Did you think you could escape?"
Jiu Zhao drilled into the magic light protecting Yu Ling with his bare hands, completely ignoring the fact that his skin was cut and bleeding by the automatic defensive beam.
She grabbed Yu Ling's clothes and dragged her out of the magic circle roughly like a dead dog.
"Nine--"
Compared to the demon minister who was reduced to ashes not long ago, Jiu Zhao didn't even give Yu Ling the chance to say his last words.
She pressed Yu Ling's shoulders, forced her to kneel on the ground, then put her fingers together to form a palm and slapped her head with the power to destroy mountains and seas.
When the palm falls, heaven and earth are silent.
The domineering power broke into his body and destroyed Yu Ling's soul in an instant.
A strange hoarse sound escaped from her lips, her eyes were vacant, and her body fell softly to the right like mud with its bones pulled out.
Jiu Zhao withdrew his hand, his eyes calm and unperturbed:
"I told you that you will pay for what you have done.
"I will."
…
Festive decorations symbolizing the love between husband and wife and their everlasting affection are still hung in every corner of the Jiwu Palace.
The empty square in front of the Zhanying Palace was already a river of blood.
Witnessing the death of his sister and brother-in-law, Zhao Yu could no longer contain his grief and anger, and roared, "Jiuzhao!!!"
He clearly understood that no matter what the outcome today was, Jiu Zhao would never let go of those who had betrayed him and were his former enemies.
If death is the outcome, he would rather sacrifice his life and perish with her!
Once the madness in his heart was ignited, Zhaoyu no longer cared about the consequences.
The demonic energy in his body scattered everywhere, and he even burned his soul to condense into a law of heaven and earth that was a hundred feet high.
"roar!!"
Although he was angry, Zhaoyu still had some sanity.
Instead of blindly engaging in close combat, he retreated several feet, hiding behind the giant Dharma image with three heads and six arms, manipulating it to attack Jiu Zhao.
The square was filled with evil energy and the earth was shaking.
The guard noble with weaker magic power was unable to dodge and was trampled into a pulp by the giant.
In the center of such a fierce attack, Jiu Zhao's figure was like a seagull flying through a storm, always at ease.
Her dodging was not swift, but she was able to predict the direction of the giant's attack every time and move to avoid it.
Occasionally he would turn around and fight back, and he could seize the gap when Zhaoyu's power was flowing and give him a precise blow.
This battle is not evenly matched.
Jiu Zhao was deliberately playing tricks on her.
With every spell she cast, she felt familiar with the endless supply of new power, and with every glance she turned, she admired her opponent's futile struggle - Zhaoyu persisted much longer than the previous two challengers, but this was not glory, but a deeper humiliation.
Finally, his soul was about to burn out and could no longer hold on, and Zhaoyu realized that his desperate efforts were in vain.
Deep in his pupils was a deep despair.
He gave up his flesh/body and merged his body into the scarred Dharma image, and a dazzling black light burst out from the sea of consciousness on his forehead.
Even if there is no place to be buried after death.
It's better than disappearing in humiliation!
Seeing this, Jiu Zhao stopped his steps.
She sighed softly, with a look of unspeakable impatience on her face.
"That's enough."
She opened her red lips slightly and uttered two cold words.
Then, she slowly stretched out her arms, and flames from the underworld surged out from her palms—
Karma fire!
The karmic fire that devours everything and never goes out!
It gathered into a roaring long dragon, and with a dragon's kiss, it easily swallowed the black light on Zhao Yu's forehead.
The power to swallow the invisible was not enough, so it opened its mouth again, starting from the head, and wrapped itself in the endless cold fire inch by inch.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if the once elegant and graceful but now mad King Yuandong had never been born.
He is a snow doll piled up in the scorching summer sun.
After being exposed to the sun, the moisture evaporated without leaving any trace.
However, this is just the beginning.
The karmic fire that engulfed Zhaoyu did not stop. It followed Jiuzhao's will and spread wildly in all directions.
An endless wall of fire rose from the ground, surrounding all the frightened demon ministers in the square.
Even though the Burning Sea is cold all year round, the chill emitted by this prison transformed from karmic fire can penetrate through the clothes and into the soul.
It really is karmic fire.
This is the karmic fire that has been mastered by only the first generation Karma Lord Que Chang for tens of millions of years.
The royal capital is blessed by the ancestral gods and has never been disturbed by the netherworld fire that emerges from the cracks in the ground.
At this moment, those forgotten horrific memories, accompanied by the trembling of the body, were vividly revived again.
"Submit to me?
"Or will we perish here?"
Floating at the end of the flame, Jiu Zhao lowered his head slightly and looked down at all living beings.
He asked with a mixed feeling of joy and anger.
