The Li Shiqing in Yu Rumeng’s disguise was a Second-Order Emperor Realm master, so the real Li Shiqing naturally had the same cultivation. Otherwise, how could she have deceived Great Emperor Flower Shadow and the others? Such a cultivation wasn’t bad, but this was the Demon Territory after all, and Li Shiqing didn’t have Yang Kai’s ability to ignore the corrosion of Demonic Qi, so how could she be a match for other Demon Kings in the Blood Fighting Pit?
At this moment, Li Shiqing was quietly standing next to the Demon King. It seemed like her cultivation had not been restricted, nor was there any kind of restriction placed on her, but she did not move at all. Her eyes were closed, and the Emperor Qi around her body was flickering, obviously resisting the Demonic Qi.
If this wasn’t the case, it was highly likely that she would become a devil in an extremely short period of time. It was unknown how long she had been resisting like this for, but she looked quite exhausted.
At the center of the stage, the Demon King who had brought Li Shiqing up smiled and said, “I believe many of you here have already noticed that this woman is somewhat different from others. Yes, this woman is indeed different from others because… she is a human from the Star Boundary!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire crowd went into an uproar. Because Li Shiqing was constantly using her Emperor Qi to resist the Demonic Qi, many Demon King Realm masters had already noticed some clues, but none of them were certain.
Listening to the Demon King’s words, they realized that this woman really was a human, a rare creature. Because the Demon Territory was filled with World Laws and Demonic Qi, even if a human were to come here, it would be impossible for them to remain unscathed. The most likely possibility was that they would fall into the Demon Path and become a Demon. However, looking at Li Shiqing’s appearance, although she looked exhausted, it was obvious she had not lost her mind. On top of that, Li Shiqing’s appearance and figure were top notch, so she was naturally extremely attractive to the Demon Race.
“It’s said that this woman is a Second-Order Emperor Realm master in the Star Boundary, equivalent to a Mid-Rank Demon King here!” The Demon King paused for a moment before suddenly raising his voice, “The next prize for the Blood Battles is this woman. If anyone can obtain victory in the next Blood Battles, they can take this woman away. Hehehe, this King has never tasted the taste of a Human Race master.”
Li Shiqing’s eyelashes trembled slightly as a look of sadness appeared on her face. She was the dignified disciple of Great Emperor Flower Shadow, but now she had become a prize in the Demon Race’s Blood Fighting Pit. Such treatment was something she had never dared to imagine before, so she secretly made up her mind that if she really reached a point where she couldn’t control herself, she would immediately sever her own heart and meridians. Even if she died, she wouldn’t be able to bring shame to her Master.
The audience was silent for a while before suddenly erupting with an unimaginable enthusiasm and joy.
Just as the Demon King had said, none of the Demon Race present had tasted the taste of a Human Race powerhouse. Li Shiqing’s appearance was quite good, and her cultivation was also quite high. If they could really win, it would be a great honor.
For a time, the group of demons became excited, and the spectators even let out a series of howls.
The Demon King continued, “This time’s Blood Battles have no rules, it is a chaotic battle. Anyone who wants to sign up can participate, as long as they can survive until the end, I will give everyone an incense stick’s worth of time to prepare.”
After saying this, he grabbed Li Shiqing’s arm and dragged her away.
As soon as he left, many of the Demon Race masters in the audience stood up and rushed towards a certain direction. These Demon Race masters were all Demon King Realm masters. Without a Demon King cultivation, they were not qualified to participate in such a bloody battle. This time, it was different from the previous Blood Battles. In the previous Blood Battles, the Blood Battles had arranged opponents with similar cultivation levels. This time, with Li Shiqing as the prize, if one’s cultivation was too low, even if they went up, they would only be slaughtered. However, since this was a chaotic battle, there was a chance for them to take advantage of it and see how they would perform.
Yang Kai turned to Xiao Wu and asked, “Where to register?”
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment before pointing in a certain direction, “It should be over there.”
Yang Kai looked over and found that a group of Demon Kings had gathered there, so he didn’t hesitate and quickly rushed over.
He had just been thinking about how he should rescue Li Shiqing after meeting her here, but he hadn’t expected that the Blood Fighting Pit would take the initiative to offer him this opportunity. As long as he won, he would be able to win her back. This was a ready-made plan.
The registration area was crowded and noisy, with no order to speak of. Demon Kings with profound cultivations rushed in, while those with weaker cultivations could only temporarily avoid them. Fortunately, private fights were not allowed in the Blood Fighting Pit, otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.
Yang Kai expended a great deal of effort to squeeze to the front and reached out to pat the registration table, “I want to register!”
The Demon King in charge of registration glanced up at him, a strange light flashing across his eyes as he nodded, “One hundred thousand demon crystals!”
Yang Kai bared his teeth and took out a hundred thousand demon crystals as registration fee from his Space Ring. This registration fee wasn’t just for him alone. The Demon Kings who had previously registered had all paid up, and Yang Kai had also seen this, so he was naturally prepared.
However, he had bet all the demon crystals he had on him just now, so if he lost a hundred thousand, he wouldn’t be able to make a fair bet. He didn’t know if he could make a bet later, but if he could, he could bet on himself and think of a way to get some demon crystals back.
The Demon Race collected the Demon Crystal and recorded Yang Kai’s number and cultivation.
After he left, the Demon Race man in charge of registration looked up at his back and took out an object to pinch.
In the depths of the Blood Fighting Pit, in a room, a Demon Race cultivator was sitting on a chair, his eyes slightly narrowed and his aura is profound. Beside him knelt a Demon Race woman who was doing her best to serve him. On the other side, a Demon King with a high-grade cultivation listened attentively before turning around and saying, “Sir, that fellow has registered.”
The Demon Race cultivator on the chair nodded lightly and didn’t say anything more.
The High-Rank Demon King hesitated for a moment before asking, “Why does Senior pay so much attention to this person? Is there something special about him?”
Originally, there was no such thing as a chaotic battle in the Blood Fighting Pit, nor was there a Human Race woman as a prize. It was this Senior who had suddenly rushed over and brought the Human Race woman with him, instructing him to hold such an event and then instructing him to pay attention to this strange-looking fellow.
Now that he thought about it, Sir must have intentionally let the human woman act as bait to lure that guy to join the fight.
But how could Sir be so certain that this person would participate?
The Demon Race on the chair looked up at him, causing the High-Rank Demon King’s heart to tremble. He thought he had asked the wrong question and quickly lowered his head. Just as he was feeling fearful, the Demon Race on the chair suddenly stood up and strode out, disappearing in the blink of an eye. A cold voice rang out, “Find a way to kill him!”
The Demon King was stunned for a moment before respectfully replying, “Yes!”
…
“Does Sir know that woman?” Xiao Wu looked at Yang Kai and asked. If he didn’t know her, why would Yang Kai suddenly sign up to participate in some random battle? They were both humans, so the chances of them knowing each other were quite high.
“I guess so,” Yang Kai didn’t explain further.
“Sir, you shouldn’t have signed up,” Xiao Wu said anxiously, “Those Demon Kings are all extremely fierce, what if something happens to you?”
Yang Kai smiled at her, “Don’t worry, I won’t have any accidents. As for them, don’t be too surprised!”
Xiao Wu said, “Why don’t we leave now? Otherwise, if the Saint Venerable finds out and blames us, this servant will definitely die a miserable death.”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “We can’t leave, I just paid a hundred thousand demon crystals as registration fee. If we don’t settle this, we won’t be able to leave the Blood Fighting Pit.”
Hearing this, Xiao Wu’s face turned green. Although she had some demon crystals on her, she didn’t have a hundred thousand. Even if she took them all out, she wouldn’t be able to fill this hole.
Yang Kai continued, “I should be able to place another bet later, help me put it on.”
Xiao Wu was startled, “Still? But we don’t have any demon crystals left.”
Yang Kai reached out and knocked her head, “Are you stupid? In any case, we’re settling accounts before we leave. Who knows if you have any demon crystals on you? As long as we win, we can just collect demon crystals. Who would want to ask us for demon crystals?”
Xiao Wu wanted to say that it wasn’t that the Demon Race hadn’t done this before, but if they lost, their fate would generally be miserable. But now that things had come to this, there was no other way, so she could only put all her hopes on the next bet.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Should I bet on Sir himself?”
Yang Kai replied confidently, “Of course, otherwise who else can we bet on?”
“How much?”
“One thousand… no, no, a hundred million!”
“One… one hundred million?” Xiao Wu’s mouth opened slightly as she stood there dumbfounded.
At this moment, the central square lit up, and the Demon Race who had appeared earlier appeared once again. Casting a spell, he shouted, “The time has come, all applicants must immediately enter the stage. Those who have yet to enter the stage when the Spirit Array is activated will be considered as having forfeited.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a number of figures shot out from the audience stands and landed on the central square.
Yang Kai reminded Xiao Wu, “Remember to bet!”
In the blink of an eye, he rushed into a curtain of light and landed on an empty field.
Only after entering this place did he realize how vast the interior space was, and he couldn’t even see the outside world from the inside. The place he was currently in was a hilly area filled with scattered rocks and weeds.
Before he could carefully inspect the terrain, four or five figures suddenly appeared and landed not far from him.
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he had a feeling that these four or five Demon Race youths were harboring some kind of malicious intent towards him, as if they were trying to surround him.
Surveying his surroundings, some people avoided his gaze, some sneered coldly, and some even made a cutting gesture towards him.
Did they think i was a pushover? Yang Kai chuckled and gave them a thumbs up before turning his wrist and pointing towards the ground.
The surrounding Demon Race masters all wore angry looks as they stared at him with even more hostility.
In the audience, Xiao Wu covered her eyes with her hands and didn’t dare to continue watching. She really didn’t understand what this Senior was doing. The chaotic battle was already extremely dangerous and there were no rules to speak of. Now he had drawn so much hatred, was he tired of living?
