Time seemed to stand still.
The two half-demons behind the Demon King and the seven groups behind Li Yu remained motionless and dared not utter a word, watching everything with tense expressions.
A moment later.
Seeing that neither Yun Youzi nor the Demon King reacted, Li Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer and broke the silence first:
"Do you... have any other resources to offer?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally clear in the silence.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Li Yu immediately realized that she might have been a bit rash.
Although Yun Youzi and the Demon King seemed to have already brought out their most valuable resources, Li Yu couldn't help but ask another question:
"That's it?"
That's it?
Upon hearing Li Yu's words, both the Molten Demon King and Yun Youzi were dumbfounded.
They never expected that even after giving up all their resources, Li Yu was still not satisfied, even more greedy than the demon race!
Seeing this, Li Yu realized that her actions might have gone too far.
But since things had come to this, he could only turn back and look at Yun Youzi.
Yun Youzi had already turned the entire pocket of his Taoist robe inside out, right in front of him, and was just short of taking off the whole robe for Li Yu to inspect.
Helpless, Li Yu looked at the Molten Demon King opposite him and tentatively asked:
"Molten Demon King, why don't you take some more? I see that the resources you two have brought are of similar value, and I'm having a hard time choosing."
Upon hearing this, the Molten Demon King felt lava churning wildly across his body. He suppressed his anger and tried his best to speak calmly to Li Yu:
"Commander Li Yu, the Earth Vein Fire Essence is the greatest sincerity I can offer. This item is extremely rare in the world, so let's accept it while we're ahead."
Li Yu interrupted the Demon King directly: "Sincerity? Is this all your Demon Alliance's Demon King is worth?"
Upon hearing this, the Molten Demon King's face instantly turned ashen. He felt that Li Yu was deliberately provoking him so that he could find an excuse to attack him.
However, since things had already come to this point, the Molten Demon King simply stopped hiding his intentions and made his point clear.
His face was grim, and he threatened in a harsh tone:
"Li Yu, don't go too far! Do you think my things come from thin air?"
"Besides, I've already promised that you'll receive plenty of resources afterward. What more do you want?"
Faced with the threat, Li Yu seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and he responded loudly with a hint of surprise in his voice:
"What?! You think you can get rid of me with just this little bit of stuff?"
Suddenly, the lava around the Molten Demon King exploded, scorching the ground and creating charred pits.
His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, and he said to Li Yu with barely contained rage:
"Enough! You're insatiable!"
"Don't think I'm really afraid of you! If you continue to make things difficult for me, I'll make you pay the price, even if it means we both die!"
At this moment, Yun Youzi stood there in the crowd, completely stunned.
He couldn't understand why Li Yu had seemed so hesitant and indecisive just moments before.
Suddenly, it became aggressive and menacing, seemingly wanting to find any excuse to attack the Molten Demon King.
Seeing the Molten Demon King reveal his hand, Li Yu stopped pretending and spoke without warning:
"You have disappointed me greatly."
Upon hearing this, the Molten Demon King was slightly taken aback.
A look of confusion crossed his face; he didn't understand what she meant. Li Yu continued:
What I just said was merely a test and probe for you.
"You've misunderstood me. I don't actually care about these material possessions."
Li Yu spoke with a firm gaze, seemingly unmoved by the two people's resources.
Sudden!
Li Yu's tone abruptly changed, and she pointed at the Demon King, shouting:
"Hey! How dare you, Demon Alliance, kidnap young girls and harm innocent people, committing such heinous acts! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and seek justice for those innocent people!"
Molten Demon King: "???"
Wanderer: "..."
Only now did the Molten Demon King realize that Li Yu had never intended to let him leave from the very beginning.
He was instantly enraged, and in his fury he laughed coldly:
"Fine, what a fine call for justice!"
"Since you are so ungrateful and determined to die, then I will grant your wish!"
As he spoke, the three halo lights behind the Molten Demon King shone brightly, the temperature suddenly rose, and a burst of scorching energy began to condense.
Li Yu also raised his crossbow and steadily pointed it at the Molten Demon King.
Li Yu stood tall and straight, and shouted loudly and righteously:
"Today, I will show you the eternal truth that evil will be punished!"
At this moment, the Molten Demon King was already blinded by rage, and his elemental magma body was boiling violently.
"Fine, fine, Li Yu, since you're so ungrateful, then I'll tear you to pieces today!"
The Molten Demon King suddenly waved his hands and shouted:
"If you don't want me to leave, then none of you will leave!"
The three light wheels behind him instantly flew out, transforming into three enormous pillars of magma that crashed straight down on Li Yu.
Li Yu, however, remained completely calm, her aiming circle already locked onto her opponent.
Before making his move, he didn't forget to glance at the resources on the Molten Demon King out of the corner of his eye.
When Li Yu was very young, he had already deeply understood a principle.
That means never believe anyone's promises.
Therefore, Li Yu did not believe a word of the Demon King's promise to offer up all these resources and make up for the remaining large amount of resources later.
In Li Yu's view, only what truly falls into his own hands can be considered to belong to him.
So-called promises are nothing but empty words, no different from not giving anything at all.
Compared to Yun Youzi, the Molten Demon King was clearly still wary of him. Even after taking out his items, he was still on guard against him and unwilling to hand over his resources to him first.
Since that's the case, he has no choice but to obtain it himself.
Just as the enormous rock pillar crashed down with immense force,
The crossbow in Li Yu's hand instantly transformed into water elemental, with crystal-clear water light flowing rapidly.
The aiming circle in his eyes quickly locked on, deliberately avoiding the location where the Molten Demon King was carrying supplies, for fear of accidentally damaging it with an arrow.
In an instant, several water-enchanted arrows, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, shot out like lightning.
It moves so fast that it is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Upon seeing this, the Molten Demon King's expression changed drastically, his face filled with horror.
An unprecedented and intense sense of impending death swept over them in an instant.
"How could this be..."
The Molten Demon King stared wide-eyed at the deadly arrow hurtling towards him, utterly horrified, with only one thought in his mind:
'That speed...is faster than sound!'
