Chapter 18: The Death of Hu Dajun (Part 2)

  A gentle breeze blew between Lei Hao and Hu Dadao, lifting a few dry leaves to dance in the air, evoking a sense of desolation and chill in Hu Dadao's heart.

  Lei Hao's blood-red eyes were icy as he stared at the pale and trembling Tiger Grand Leader, his tongue cruelly licking his lips as if savoring the taste of the tiger's fresh blood. Lei Hao was actually still a relatively kind demon, disliking slaughter and rarely emitting such intense killing intent towards another demon. He truly detested this tiger demon, detesting him to the point where he couldn't bear to see him alive in this beautiful world for even one more second. He eagerly anticipated beheading this tiger demon with a single slash of his blade.

  The demonic king of the mixed world had a stern face, unable to see any expression. He watched as his two top internal elixir realm generals fought for their lives, how could he be happy about it? In his heart, he actually hoped that Tiger General would win, although he couldn't compare to Lei Hao's ability and fame in the Water Cavern Hole, but he listened to him and was easy to control. As for Lei Hao, although he was clever and capable, he was too unruly, not a demon willing to be controlled by the demonic king of the mixed world. The demonic king hoped that one less demon would die in the Water Cavern Hole, as every demon hole was the territory of its own demon king, and no one wanted an uncontrollable variable on their own turf, including the demonic king himself.

  But the Demon King of the Mixed World was very clear that Tiger Da Tongling had almost no chance of survival, and Lei Hao's powerful knife move was unknown to Tiger Da Tongling but very clear to the Demon King of the Mixed World. He understood that if he were to take it head-on, even he himself would have to pay a certain price, and Tiger Da Tongling was obviously not a demon who could dodge this move.

  Although he had foreseen the outcome, the Demon King of Mixed Worlds still hoped that Hu Dajun could survive, as there were not many subordinates who were both powerful and obedient.

  "Lei Hao, you and Hu Ya are both my supreme rulers of the Water Cavern. I hope you can show mercy." The Demon King of the Mortal World spoke to Lei Hao in a calm tone, his voice not loud but with an unquestionable flavor, as if what he said was something Lei Hao had to do.

  Lei Hao's expression didn't change after hearing the words of the Demon King of the Mortal World, nor did he respond. Spare the life of Hu Dazong? Are you kidding me? Although you are the Demon King of the Mortal World, although you are the demon king of Shuixu Cave, and although I am still your subordinate. But what does that have to do with anything? "Hu Dazong must die." Lei Hao said to himself once again in his heart.

  The Demon King of the Chaotic World looked at the silent Lei Hao, thinking that he had agreed, and nodded slightly in his heart. "Although a bit unruly, he still knows his place." The Demon King defined Lei Hao in his mind.

  "Let's begin!" The Demon King of Mixed Worlds said as he vanished into the midst of Lei Hao and Hu Dajun.

  Lei Hao looked at Hu Dazong with disdain, raised his hand and beckoned to him, "Come on, if you can survive ten moves under my hands, I'll let you go." Lei Hao's tone was very slow, as if he really intended to let Hu Dazong go.

  Hearing the Demon King's words, Tiger Dàtóng's heart was filled with fear, but he suddenly felt a strong desire to survive. "This Lei Hao still fears our king, I'll just get through this first and then slowly plot against him." This life-and-death battle had not yet begun, but Tiger Dàtóng was already thinking about how to scheme against Lei Hao afterwards. In his mind, since the Demon King had spoken up and told Lei Hao to show mercy, he himself would definitely be able to survive.

  Hu Daitong, the leader of the Tigers, made a swift and silent slash at Lei Hao with his knife. The fierce momentum of the knife seemed to be just another ordinary move. As the Demon King of the Mixed World was an expert in using knives, most of the small demons in the Water Cavern would choose to use knives as well.

  Lei Hao looked at the Great Leader Hu's large knife, which was slashing towards him with a fierce explosion sound. He was extremely disdainful in his heart. "This mixed-haired tiger has lived for hundreds of years and is still alive, but after practicing knife skills for hundreds of years, it's still like this." Lei Hao scolded in his heart. This seemingly fierce knife momentum had many flaws in Lei Hao's eyes. He saw Lei Hao raise his knife and lightly slash out, the blade directly pointing at the most intense explosion sound on the Great Leader Hu's knife blade, disrupting his knife momentum.

  "Just one move." Lei Hao said expressionlessly, Hu Dajun's face was calm and unmoving.

  "Fierce Tiger Hunting Strike" The Great Leader of Tigers let out a loud roar and jumped high again, slashing out with his knife towards Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao still swung his big knife, pointing at the most intense change in the knife's momentum, once again disrupting Hu Dabing's knife momentum.

  "Two moves." Lei Hao said with a still expressionless face, the Tiger Great Leader's face began to show a joyful expression. "This Lei Hao really doesn't even attack, it seems he is just a foolish good-for-nothing who only knows how to talk big." The Tiger Great Leader thought to himself with some complacency.

  "The Great Tiger Leader roared again and swung his big knife, chopping out with a single slash."

  Lei Hao still swung his big knife, and with a light touch, he dissolved Hu Dazong's offensive.

  "Three moves." Lei Hao still said with a expressionless face, this time the face of Hu Dajun, the leader of the Tigers, had already begun to show a smile.

  …………

  "Nine Moves" Lei Hao still had that expression from the beginning, as if nothing had changed, while the face of Hu Dajun, the leader of the Tigers, was filled with extreme complacency.

  "Haha, you stupid cow, receive the strongest move from General Tiger 'Tiger Extreme Heaven Break'!" General Tiger leaped high into the air, letting out a mighty roar.

  A majestic tiger shape appeared in the air, powerful and extraordinary. The tiger followed the Tiger Great Leader's knife as it swooped towards Lei Hao with a loud whoosh.

  As the sword approached, Lei Hao's eyes, which had been calm and collected, suddenly burst out with an astonishing divine light, and his body also emitted a strong killing aura. He sneered at Hu Da Tongling with a glance.

  "Split the earth." Lei Hao swung his sword, unleashing a surge of energy that formed a gigantic blade of air dozens of meters long. It directly dispersed the massive tiger created by Hu Daitong's "Tiger Extreme Heaven Breaking" technique, piercing through his body and slashing out a massive trench on the ground, approximately thirty to forty meters long, two meters wide, and two meters deep.

  The great leader of the Tigers fell to the ground, still not dead. He was coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, his facial muscles still frozen in a look of frenzied joy, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. "Cough... why? Cough... why?" he asked, spitting out blood with each word.

  "It's nothing, I just feel more comfortable this way." A faint smile began to appear on Lei Hao's face.

  "Cough cough cough...... Why aren't you afraid of the chaotic world..." Hu Daitong's words were not yet finished when 'boom' a loud noise exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

  "Why am I not afraid? I fear him, but you still have to die. If you don't die, I won't be at peace." Lei Hao muttered to himself as the blood mist began to dissipate. At the same time, he felt two extremely strong gazes, and he knew whose they were without looking.

  The Demon King of the Mixed World watched as Lei Hao unleashed a powerful sword move, and as Hu Daitong exploded into a cloud of blood mist. The doubts in his heart quickly turned into a strong killing intent. "This Lei Hao, dare to, actually dare to really kill Huya." At this time, the Demon King of the Mixed World still had some disbelief in his heart.

  "Lei Hao, didn't you hear my words? Or do you want to accompany Hu Ya in death?" The voice of the Demon King, filled with murderous intent, echoed in Lei Hao's ears. Immediately following was the Demon King's full-force release of his demonic king pressure. Lei Hao gripped his large knife tightly and turned around to face the Demon King.

  "Great King, for over a hundred years, I have done what for the Water Cavern? You are clear about it. What has Hu Dajun done for the Water Cavern? You are also clear about it. Why is it that after I closed up to cultivate for a period of time, my command flag would appear in Hu Dajun's hands from this point on the platform? I sent my younger brother to retrieve my command flag, but he dared to injure my younger brother. If I don't kill him, how can I, Lei Hao, still stand in the demon world of Proud Sky Country?

  Lei Hao stared tightly at the Demon King of Mixed Worlds, speaking one sentence at a time, his aura as a top strong expert in the Internal Elixir realm opposing the Demon King's pressure. Although he was at a disadvantage, he managed to hold on. Immediately afterwards, Lei Hao's eyes also burst out with a fierce killing intent. Since the Demon King wanted to tear off his mask and go all out, Lei Hao didn't need to pretend anymore. The Demon King thought it would be easy to kill him? It wasn't that simple."

  Feeling the killing intent emanating from Lei Hao's body, Lei Wei's brothers quickly appeared beside him. At the same time, the auras of over a dozen Inner Dan realm experts rose up to confront the aura of the Demon King alongside Lei Hao.

  The increasingly ugly face of the Demon King of the Mortal World, who had just joined forces with over a dozen Nascent Soul realm experts, was a sight to behold. In this short span of over a hundred years, he had only focused on enhancing his own strength and hadn't even noticed that Lei Hao's subordinates already possessed so many Nascent Soul realm masters. If he really made a move now, relying solely on Lei Hao's swordsmanship would be enough to hold him off for a while, and with the addition of over a dozen Nascent Soul realm experts joining forces to encircle and kill him, it was possible that the Demon King of the Mortal World might actually fall at the hands of these 'little monsters' in the Nascent Soul realm.

  The complexion of the demon king who thought of these things became increasingly unpredictable. The great demon who could be promoted to a demon king wasn't an old monster that had survived thousands of battles? He no longer cared about the lives of other demons, even if all the demons in the Water Cavern died, he would only feel a little heartache, and with a few hundred years, he could restore the power of the Water Cavern. But his own life was only one, as a powerful demon king, fighting to the death for a mere tiger tooth wasn't it a bit too unworthy? The demon king had the heart to give in but couldn't put down the face of a demon king, after all, he couldn't let a demon king speak softly to his subordinates, an inner alchemy realm 'little monster', although this 'little monster' was strong to the point of being out of proportion.

  Lei Hao looked at the unpredictable and hesitant Mixed World Demon King, roughly guessing his thoughts, and secretly let out a sigh of relief. The Mixed World Demon King's strength was far superior to his own, and even if he could win by risking his life, these brothers would likely suffer casualties, a price Lei Hao couldn't afford to pay, and he wasn't willing to risk his own life and that of his brothers for the sake of a dead-end role like this.

  "Your Majesty, that Tiger General has been causing trouble in the Water Cavern every day. Taking advantage of your cultivation to disrupt the morale of my Water Cavern's demonic army, I killed him to rid our Water Cavern of a great evil." Although he knew the current Demon King just wanted an excuse, Lei Hao couldn't think of a good reason on short notice and could only open his mouth and ramble.

  The Demon King of the Mixed World also secretly let out a sigh of relief, as he was struggling to withstand the pressure of facing a powerful demon like Lei Hao and over a dozen high-level Nascent Soul cultivators. He was now faced with the choice of either making a move or losing face in front of the demon king. Just as he was hesitating, Lei Hao offered him an opportunity to retreat, which suited his intentions perfectly.

  "So that's how it is? Alright, you're now in charge of everything related to the Water Caverns, I hope you'll lead them as usual and maintain their reputation." The Demon King let out a sigh of relief and walked down the stairs. As for being the manager of the Water Caverns, it was nothing in his eyes as the Demon King, he only said that to save face as the king of demons.

  "Thanks, Your Majesty." Lei Hao slightly bowed and said, this position of the general manager is still useful to him now, so he didn't stand on ceremony.

  "Hmm" The Demon King of Mixed World responded with a single word and then disappeared on the spot.

  "Hsss..." After the Demon King of Chaos left, Lei Hao let out a long sigh. The pressure that the Demon King's presence gave him was even greater than he had imagined.
