Chapter 2862
byOne last time, do you want to die or do you want to live? If no one is willing to submit, I don’t mind killing all of you. There are more than just you Demon Kings. Besides you, I have other more choices. Moreover, you don’t need to feel ashamed. Those who don’t submit to me will die, and only those who submit to me can survive. No one will remember your choice today except yourselves! The last three breaths of time.” Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became a little impatient, and he issued a final ultimatum. Then he raised three fingers and, while bending one finger, said coldly, “Three!”
After a pause, he continued to speak, “Two!”
All the Demon Kings’ expressions tensed, knowing what kind of situation would occur when this Wu Niu finished counting down.
Before he could report the last number, a Demon King with terrifying scars on his face immediately stood up and said in a low voice, “I am willing… to swear allegiance to the adult!”
He gritted his teeth and said these words, his complexion changing, obviously having made a fierce struggle in his heart.
The ghost fire in the eye sockets of the Bone Demon Fili had no fluctuations. When Shaya first defected to this alien, he had expected such a scene, so at this moment, he didn’t go to blame others anymore.
Standing to die, kneeling to live, these are all their own choices. Some are willing to discard their dignity and pride and show their humble side to the alien. He can’t control that either.
However, he knew that most of the Demon Kings present would not be so spineless.
They were Demon Kings!
As Fili had expected, under his and most of the Demon Kings’, only a few Demon Kings with shame and unease on their faces, chose to submit and knelt down one after another, not daring to look at their former companions, as if they were a group of children who had done something wrong, waiting for Yang Kai’s verdict.
“Five…” Yang Kai smiled slightly, looking at the row of Demon Kings kneeling below, and then looked around at the eight behind, and said with a smile, “It seems that you have all made your choices.”
Fili snorted coldly. His gaze contemptuously swept over the five demons in front of him and then met Yang Kai’s eyes, the dancing will-o’-the-wisps full of sarcasm.
“The number is just right.” Yang Kai grinned.
This statement made all the demons a little baffled.
Yang Kai slowly raised his hand, his expression cold: “Now then. Please go to your deaths!”
“As long as the demonic fire burns, the Demon Race will not perish!” Fili shouted.
Several other demons also shouted one after another, their faces showing a look of looking death in the eye.
A few popping sounds rang out, and the bodies of several demons exploded into blood mists, with no bones left. Even the demonic hearts hidden within their bodies had disappeared without a trace.
Shaya’s smiling expression froze on her face, Bocky’s eyelids twitched violently and the two balls of will-o’-the-wisps in Fili’s eye sockets suddenly burned even more vigorously, revealing the shock in his heart.
The other demons were also completely dumbfounded.
Because the ones killed by Yang Kai were actually not them, the group of demons who would rather die than submit, but instead the five cowards who had shown their sincerity to him.
Kill the wrong ones?
This thought involuntarily emerged in the hearts of every demon, but upon careful consideration, how could such a thing happen? If there was no mistake in killing, then there was only one explanation left.
This was a method deliberately employed by the alien. The ones he truly wanted to keep were not those cowards, but the remaining unyielding Demon Kings. No wonder he said the number was just right earlier. Excluding Bolgi and Shaya who had already submitted to him, the remaining eight people were indeed the perfect number!
“What do you mean?” Fili stared coldly at Yang Kai and asked.
“Can’t you understand what I mean?” Yang Kai smiled faintly.
Fili said, “We will never submit. You might as well just kill us.”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “I have no doubt about that, and you have also proven it with your actions. However, I said that even if you are not willing to submit to me, I still have a way to turn you into slaves. I need the strong among you. Those who bowed their heads willingly are not of much use!”
These words made Shaya’s face a little red. She had surrendered directly without much torture back then. Now that she thought about it, fortunately, she was the first to submit to Yang Kai. If it were the scene just now, she might have been killed too.
“Just because of this you humiliated them, taunted them, and then killed them?” Fili’s emotions suddenly became excited. The deaths of those few cowardly Demon Kings were nothing, but Yang Kai’s actions still made him angry.
“That’s right, just because of this.” Yang Kai’s expression was as cold as if he had no emotions, “Only in this way can I eliminate those few pieces of trash.”
Fili wanted to say something more, but Yang Kai waved his hand, not giving him a chance to speak, and said impatiently, “Alright. Now it’s your turn.”
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a Demon King and brought him directly in front of himself. His left eye suddenly turned golden and his gaze was majestic as he looked at the Demon King.
The Demon King struggled vigorously, but couldn’t break free at all. And with the suppression of this world and the influx of Yang Kai’s spiritual thoughts, a pained expression gradually appeared on the Demon King’s face. Soon, that pain disappeared and was replaced by a look of comfort.
When Yang Kai put him down, this Demon King shook his head a little uncomfortably. When he looked up at Yang Kai again, his gaze was a bit complicated, but there was no more hostility. He respectfully saluted and stood beside Bodge and Shaya without saying a word.
“Welcome, Strength Demon Ula!” Bodge smiled.
The Strength Demon named Ula glanced at him and still didn’t say a word, making Bodge feel embarrassed.
“Hey hey, what’s this all about? This isn’t good, is it?” The Shadow Demon Moketu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn’t have the mood to continue using the secret method to hide his figure. Seeing with his own eyes a Demon King who was not willing to bow his head even in the face of death being subdued by a foreigner in a very short time, Moketu’s heart was greatly shaken and he felt very uncomfortable all over.
The other Demon Kings who saw this scene felt the same way.
They are not afraid of death. If they were really afraid of death, they wouldn’t have stood there without submitting just now. But they are afraid of being enslaved for no reason like this and becoming someone else’s slaves!
Even the Demon Saints have never enslaved them.
If there wasn’t the suppression of this world, they would rather activate their magic power and self-detonate than live a life. Youdaoplaceholder1 they don’t even have the ability to self-detonate now.
Another Demon King was sucked in front of that alien. Everyone could anticipate what would happen next, which made the remaining Demon Kings feel disheartened.
“This sir, didn’t you just say that a forcefully twisted melon is not sweet? Let us die, why go through all this trouble?” Moketu opened her mouth and shouted coquettishly at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai raised his eyes and looked at her, and grinned: “A forcefully twisted melon is indeed not sweet, but… it quenches thirst!”
Moketu’s expression froze, and her face twitched for a while, thinking that this was such a shitty reason.
Just when she was feeling resentful, her body was involuntarily sucked over by Yang Kai. She sighed slightly, knowing that there was no way to avoid it anyway, and could only stand there with a helpless expression.
One by one, the Demon Kings had the brand of the soul planted, and finally it was Fili’s turn.
As the intangible leader among many Demon Kings, Fili indeed has the capital to be proud. Even when Yang Kai branded the mark, he still tried every means to resist. Unfortunately, in the Small Mysterious Realm, his resistance simply had no effect at all.
It took only about the time it takes to burn an incense stick. The eight Demon Kings led by Fili have all been dealt with.
Everyone stood together, looking at each other, all with strange expressions.
Shaya enthusiastically shuttled among the many Demon Kings, blowing and boasting about Yang Kai’s power intentionally or unintentionally, eliminating the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Such a series of actions was also a huge consumption for Yang Kai. However, he had the Seven-Colored Warm Divine Lotus, so he could bear such consumption and only needed to rest for a while to recover.
In the Small Mysterious Realm, the ten Demon Kings looked solemn and all focused their attention on Yang Kai.
Looking around, Yang Kai said, “I need you to help me do a few things.”
“Please speak, sir!” Fili said somewhat awkwardly.
“The first thing is to send all the transformed Demon Soldiers under your command to me! I know that each of you has more or less some transformed Barbarians under your command. I need those people.”
Fili nodded and said, “Yes.”
The transformed Demon Soldiers had a low status among the Demon Race, and no one would take them seriously.
“The second thing, I want your Demonic Beasts!” Yang Kai said again.
This request was a bit more difficult than the previous one, but it wasn’t impossible to handle either. Currently, all the Demon Saints were healing their injuries, and almost no one could restrain the various Demon Kings. They were absolute in their respective territories. If they wanted to send away their Demonic Beasts, the demons under them probably wouldn’t dare to ask too many questions.
“The third thing, gather the subordinates of those Demon Kings I killed today. Also, be careful not to reveal their deaths.”
The various Demon Kings nodded in agreement one after another.
Fili said, “Sir, after doing all this, should we rendezvous with you?”
“No need!” Yang Kai shook his head. “After doing all this, you should do whatever you were going to do. When I have a need, I will naturally summon you.”
Mo Ke Tuo said, “Then what if the foreign races attack us? As you know, your clansmen are currently counterattacking everywhere.”
Yang Kai looked at her and said, “It shouldn’t be difficult to let your subordinates go to their deaths, right?”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the eight Demon Kings all changed slightly. They had indeed been branded with a Soul Imprint by Yang Kai and had become his slaves, but it was still a bit hard to accept really letting their own clansmen go to their deaths, even though this was Yang Kai’s order.
Yang Kai didn’t care what they thought. After saying what he needed to say, he sent them all out of the Little Mysterious Realm.
On the wild land, the eight Demon Kings went their separate ways.
After Sha Ya witnessed the departure of the various Demon Kings, she smiled slightly and said, “I thought Sir would, as before, use them and then devour their subordinates bit by bit.”
Yang Kai said indifferently, “It’s not a good thing to be too sharp. Moreover… I still need some time.”
The Wu Niu Tribe originally had only three thousand people and had already devoured the teams led by two Demon Kings. If they continued to do as before, they would surely be invincible in a short time, but it would also inevitably attract the attention of the Demon Race.
