Chapter 944
byThe whole journey of time was spent in Meng Wuya’s cursing and resentment.
It could be seen that he was still brooding over the matter of Chang Yuan using the formation against him back then. Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He thought that if he had known that Shopkeeper Meng cared so much about this matter, he wouldn’t have been so talkative and asked about it. Now he was suffering greatly, simply shooting himself in the foot.
A few days later, the Demon City came into view.
Looking from a distance, the entire Demon City was like a wild beast prostrate on the ground, exuding an ancient and desolate aura. Even dozens of miles away, Yang Kai could feel bursts of powerful and fierce evil qi coming from there.
That was the aura of the powerful Demon Race experts living in the Demon City.
Although there were only five Saint Stage Layer 3 experts in the entire Demon Border, there were no less than a dozen Saint Stage experts sitting in the important area of the Demon City.
Most of the time, Demon Venerable Chang Yuan was in seclusion, comprehending the Heavenly Dao and martial arts, and didn’t pay much attention to the affairs in the Demon Border. There were rumors that he wanted to break through the current shackles and reach a higher level, hoping to reach the height of the Great Demon God back then.
Unfortunately, decades and even hundreds of years had passed, and his cultivation level didn’t seem to have improved at all. He was still stuck at the current realm.
Even so, he was still the number one expert in the Demon Border, much more powerful than the Four Great Demon Generals.
The Demon Race’s city was not the same as that of the Human Race, not only in terms of architectural style. The buildings here all looked ferocious and rough, with a wild beauty. Moreover, the Demon Race’s city had no one guarding the city gate.
Anyone can freely enter from the city gate, unlike the cities of the human race, where there will always be people standing in front of the city, and one needs to pay spirit stones to be eligible to enter.
The group of four people didn’t even bother to hide their original appearances and swaggered into the Demon Capital from the city gate.
In an instant, countless gazes shot towards Yang Kai simultaneously, looking at him with great interest.
“A human？”
“Hehe, this is interesting. There’s actually a human who dares to randomly barge into our Demon Capital！”
“This brat has quite a bit of courage. Does he not take our Demon Race seriously at all？”
The Demon Race martial artists who were originally walking inside the Demon Capital all looked at Yang Kai with ferocious smiles on their faces, and a cold killing intent and hostility emerged on their faces. Many of them even quietly approached Yang Kai, wanting to teach him a lesson.
Meng Wuya coldly snorted and swept his stern-filled eyes around. But any demonic martial artist he targeted. They all stopped in their tracks. A chill rose from the bottom of their hearts, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Only then did they know that the reason that human youth dared to barge into the Demon Capital was actually because he had some backing.
Yang Kai smiled faintly, stopped in his tracks, and didn’t continue walking. He was surrounded by hundreds of Demon Race martial artists in three layers inside and outside. If he continued walking, a battle would probably break out immediately.
“Is there anyone who can speak？” Yang Kai looked around and loudly asked.
Many Demon Race martial artists just looked at him, and no one answered.
Yang Kai suddenly fixed his gaze on a certain place in the crowd. There, a Demon Race martial artist with a cultivation level reaching the Second-Order Saint Realm was striding towards this side, his expression extremely cold. His demonic essence fluctuated unsteadily, and when looking at the three people standing behind Yang Kai, his eyes were filled with fear.
Other Demons didn’t have the discernment to see the power of Meng Wuya and Li Rong Hanfei and others, but he was different.
Any one of those three people gave him great pressure, and naturally knew that the other party was not an unknown person. And such three top experts were actually just following behind a human youth. Who was this human youth？
“Who are you？ What’s your business coming to my Demon City？” The Demon stopped ten zhang in front of Yang Kai, not daring to get any closer, and shouted from a distance.
“Your Demon Venerable invited me here. Can you report to him and say that Yang Kai has come！”
“Yang Kai?” The Demon’s brows furrowed. He vaguely remembered hearing this name somewhere, but couldn’t remember for a moment. He snapped, “Is it really the Demon Venerable who invited you here?”
“Would I lie to you？” Yang Kai laughed dumbfoundedly.
“Alright, you wait here for a moment. I’ll go to the Demon Palace to report！” The demon said in a deep voice and cautioned. But just as he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled and he listened intently. After a long while, he nodded seriously and said with respect on his face： “Yes！”
Looking at Yang Kai, he clasped his fists and said： “Just now, the Demon Venerable sent a message, asking me to immediately take you to the Demon Palace without reporting. This way, please！”
Yang Kai nodded and followed him with Meng Wuya and the others.
Countless demons curiously looked at the backs of Yang Kai and the others, wondering what the Demon Venerable invited such a human to the Demon City for.
In front of the Demon Palace, there is a huge square.
Standing on the square are one dark stone pillar after another. There are some subtle mysteries hidden in the stone pillars, and vaguely some energy flowing into them.
Many people are bound on the stone pillars. Some of those people are already dead, and some are still gasping for breath, looking as if they are about to die.
The entire square exudes a stench of decay. Crows caw and land, falling on those corpses and pecking at the rotten flesh.
When Yang Kai followed the demon through this square, he couldn’t help but take a few more curious glances, with his brows slightly furrowed.
That demon seemed to have noticed Yang Kai’s suspicion and took the initiative to explain, “These are all sinners who have rebelled against the Demon Venerable. They have to endure the extremely cracking punishment here for ninety days before they are allowed to die！”
“Ninety days？ The means of the Demon Venerable are a bit too cruel. Killing people is just a matter of a single blow.” Yang Kai’s face showed dissatisfaction.
That demon sneered, “The Demon Venerable has already shown mercy to them. If it were me, I would definitely extract their souls and torture them forever！”
Yang Kai gave him a glance and secretly shook his head.
Although he knew that the demons were all fierce and violent, this kind of means was still a bit too cruel.
“It seems that not all the people bound here are demons. Why do I see the figures of humans?” Yang Kai looked at one of the stone pillars. The dead body on that stone pillar had no trace of demonic essence and was clearly a human.”
“Oh, those are very few. These people are all so-called experts of your human race. They dare to invade our Demon Realm, so naturally they have to pay a price！” That demon grinned ferociously and said indifferently.
Yang Kai nodded. There are always some people in the world who are full and have nothing to do. They think that their strength is remarkable and want to come to the Demon Realm to cause trouble and become famous, but they don’t recognize their own bottom line. As a result, they end up losing more than they gain.
Regarding this kind of person, Yang Kai also felt that they deserved it and didn’t have the slightest thought of sympathy.
“Yang Kai！” Meng Wuya suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at one of the stone pillars with a serious expression.
“What’s wrong？”
“Look at that person！” Meng Wuya pointed not far away.
Following the direction he pointed, Yang Kai looked over and saw a disheveled demon bound to the stone pillar. His aura was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
His head was drooping, and his messy long hair covered his face, making it impossible to see his true features clearly.
Moreover, his hands and feet were completely pierced by a kind of pitch-black long nail and nailed to the stone pillar, making him unable to move.
The blood flowing out from the wound had long since dried up, looking extremely desolate.
Li Rong and Han Fei couldn’t help but frown, Youdaoplaceholder0 be glad that the master they followed was not as cruel as Demon Lord Chang Yuan!
The demon who led Yang Kai and the others here also took a look and grinned, saying, “That guy is a tough nut to crack. Even I admire him.”
Saying so, he self-consciously explained, “He can be considered a rising star within our Demon Border. Ten years ago, he was unknown and had no reputation, but in these ten years, his strength has improved rapidly. Now he has reached the peak of the First-Order Saint Realm. I’m afraid that in another two years, he will be able to cultivate to my level. Unfortunately… unfortunately, he is unwilling to serve the Demon Venerable, so the Demon Venerable had someone nail him here and told him that he would be released when he figured it out. It has been several months already, and he just refuses to relent no matter what. The Demon Venerable Lord actually said that he will eventually be able to cultivate to the Third-Order Saint Realm. Given time, the fifth Demon General will appear in our Demon Border！”
“Does he look like? Meng Wuya ignored the morin’s chattering and instead looked at Yang Kai with a heavy expression.
“It’s not just like, it’s simply him！” Yang Kai’s expression was gloomy as he strode towards that stone pillar.
Hey, what are you doing? The devil saw that something was wrong and quickly shouted, and at the same time he moved his steps to try to stop Yang Kai.
“You shut up！” Meng Wuya turned his head and looked at him, with killing intent surging in his eyes. “If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will kill you right now. If you dare to take a step forward, I will also kill you！”
The devil opened his mouth, his face turned red, and indeed did not dare to say anything more or make any more movements.
He saw the thick and tangible killing intent in Meng Wuya’s eyes.
“What’s wrong with the master？” Li Rong asked in confusion. “Does he know that devil？”
“He does！” Meng Wuya nodded with a solemn expression.
Li Rong’s delicate body trembled, and she couldn’t help but look over there with concern.
Over there, Yang Kai had already come to the stone pillar. He seemed unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and his face was faintly tinged with guilt. He trembled and brushed the devil’s messy hair back, revealing his pale and colorless face.
Sensing the movement, the devil slowly opened his eyes. Yang Kai’s figure gradually condensed in front of him. After seeing Yang Kai’s appearance clearly, the originally turbid and no light eyes suddenly burst out a ray of sharp light at this moment revealing an extremely surprised look. His chapped lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t say it.
“I know.” Yang Kai nodded. “Don’t talk now.”
The devil nodded slightly and obeyed Yang Kai’s words.
“Bear with it. I’ll get you down.” Yang Kai reminded again, reached out and grasped the black long nail that nailed his right hand, and with a sudden force, pulled out the long nail, bringing out a stream of black blood.
Doing the same thing, he then removed the remaining three long nails.
During this period, because of the intense pain, the demon trembled continuously, but his backbone seemed extremely hard and he didn’t utter a sound from beginning to end.
Li Rong and Han Fei felt extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Kai put down the devil who was only half alive, and without saying a word gave him some Ten Thousand Medicine Spiritual Milk to help him recover, and then quickly checked the situation in his body.
