Capítulo 1145: Chapter 560: Champion Nemesis

The Dragon Head Demon King retreated violently, pulling away several hundred meters from the space rift, arriving outside the iron cage where captives were held.

At this moment, it was immensely relieved that it hadn’t devoured all the caught Humans, but instead left a batch as backup food.

These Humans might become the key to escaping the clutches of the Human Champion.

No Horror Demon would respond; there would be no reinforcements.

The Dragon Head Demon King cursed inwardly, analyzing which area to flee to, should it escape.

To the Beastmen’s territory? Or to the battlefield of that Fear Empress? Or perhaps leading the Champion into the territories of other Horror Demons?

If they are ruthless, then don’t blame me for being heartless!

Almost simultaneously, the space rift was about to close, unexpectedly torn open again by a ferocious force.

It transformed into an even larger space rift, from which Li Ye stepped forth from the flames.

The violent Evil Qi made all the present Demons feel an uncontainable Fear.

They had once wantonly slaughtered Humans and devoured Human blood and flesh.

Yet the arrival of the Human Champion awakened their terrifying instincts.

The Demons, who were previously cruel and bloody before Human civilians, now found their blades trembling slightly. Some Demons were even shattered by Fear, dropping their weapons and turning to flee.

“Champion!” The Dragon Head Demon King roared.

Its heavy blade smacked onto the metal cage, making a piercing sound.

The threat was clear; the Demons also pointed their blades at the Humans within the cages.

The people locked in cages appeared emaciated. Yet their venomous and hateful gazes caused the Dragon Head Demon King to feel Fear.

It had seen many such expressions before, but never felt Fear like now.

The Humans’ eyes flickered with flames, flames of revenge, green flames!

As if the previous Resister…

Li Ye charged from the rift, stepping onto the wet ground.

Simultaneously, a rich stench and bloody smell, accompanied by the scent of burnt meat, surged into his nose.

This made Li Ye and the others’ pupils contract abruptly.

At that instant, they seemed to see Hell. This place appeared to be a mountain fortress cruelly carved open from the outside world.

And now, thick blood plasma streamed down the fortress’s stone bricks, forming crimson networks.

Hundreds of incomplete Human skeletons were piled beside the walls. Children curled beside the corpse heap, clutching a half-rotten broken finger. The abdomen of pregnant women were cut open, purple-black umbilical cords entangled decaying fetal remains. Human soldiers glared angrily, not loosening their weapons even unto death…

Dried intestines hung on lamps and branches, a pot still burning amid thick grease contained several small corpses, bobbing up and down in the oil.

Steep walls and anti-aircraft gun mounts still had multiple iron cages studded with spikes, dozens of blue-gray faces inside, their skin pierced, blood dripping, forming Blood Pools on the ground.

Humans still not completely dead. Their chest pierced, hanging above the Blood Pool. Their limbs severed, eyes dull.

But at this moment, they seemed to see something, hear something.

They struggled to make a final sound.

“Kill…”

“Kill!”

“Kill!!!”

Within the cages, surviving Humans shed tears of blood as they uttered fragile yet steadfast roars.

Voicing the most venomous curses, and the most sincere pleas.

“Don’t worry about us, kill them all!”

At that moment, Li Ye’s Evil Qi condensed around him, seemingly a crimson miasma. The Champion Cloak emitted a terrifying battle cry!

Zhu Ye’s eyes revolved like sun and moon, scattering eerie-colored moonlight amidst the Disaster Fog, transforming into phantom-like Armor upon him.

The green flames on Dawn surged as if responding to the flames of revenge in the eyes of the Human captives!

At that moment, the Dragon Head Demon King felt he… might have chosen the wrong method.

These Human captives didn’t intend to live at all. And the Human Champion wouldn’t let him live either!

“Kill!” The Dragon Head Demon King roared, causing the Human captives’ eyes to bleed just from the sound.

Even if it were to die, it couldn’t let the Human Champion have his way!

With its power, it only needed an instant to kill the Human captives here.

Just that moment when it and its underlings prepared to act.

Suddenly, they felt a sinister danger emerge from behind them.

The Demons’ movements slowed and hesitated, some even wildly looking back.

Just the fleeting shadow made them suspect they might be assassinated, and their bodies made reflexive responses.

And it was just this momentary delay that they lost their chances forever.

The Demons were decapitated in an instant, tall figures flickered within shadows, ruthlessly and efficiently harvesting Demons’ lives.

Meanwhile, golden light flashed, Li Ye accelerated with speed even the Demon King couldn’t react to, arriving upfront!

Long spear thrust, aiming straight at the Demon King!

The Dragon Head Demon King roared, its battle blade swung to intercept horizontally, at the moment of blade colliding.

Li Ye lunged closely, his right leg swung out like a giant axe!

Daring to contend with physical strength?

The Dragon Head Demon King roared, its left hand transformed into an Abyss Dragon, immediately blasting out!

Dragon Fist!

In the next instant, its five-meter-high body soared, struck by the furious force.

Li Ye’s golden wings flapped behind him, propelling him directly into the sky, instantly arriving hundreds of meters high.

The tremendous power damaged the Demon King’s proud strong physique, fingers snapped, palms shattered, left hand bent severely.

Meanwhile, Li Ye’s right calf also had a bone fracture, unnaturally drooping.

The Dragon Head Demon King marveled at Li Ye’s physique but also realized that now only it and Li Ye were here.

‘Planning to keep me away from the Human captives, keeping the battle’s effects from reaching them? Foolish!’

The initial unease gradually faded.

‘I can’t beat the four of you, but I can beat one of you?’

The Dragon Head Demon King smirked coldly, afraid of being besieged.

But now, it didn’t seem worried about such a problem.

The Dragon Head Demon King howled, its body rapidly expanding and twisting.

Transforming into a dark red giant dragon!

Yet in the next moment, its face showed terror, frantically fleeing.

On the ground, Human or Horror Demon looked up, witnessing the mythical scene.

A giant Peng big enough to cover the entire sky suddenly appeared. Its wings spread, seemingly suppressing the firmament!

The talons reached out, tearing apart the Demon Dragon! Blood stained the sky!

….

Deep within the Disaster Fog, mysterious Horror Demons claiming they could communicate with the Disaster Fog’s consciousness exchanged quickly.

“Damn, the Ninth Generation Champion is really this strong?”

“Even the Insect Master is dead!”

“Now it’s the Dragon Head Demon King’s turn!”

“Three waves went, three waves died. No Horror Demon is willing to be the fourth wave! If they keep being killed through space rift, losses will become even greater. Abandon the Demon King.”

“Abandon him, then after this, no Horror Demon will trust us anymore.”

Originally, the Horror Demons didn’t obey anyone.

If they hadn’t possessed enough resources and intelligence, offering them interests, they couldn’t have mobilized the Horror Demons.

Now that this incident happened, with such massive losses. If we let the Demon King die, other Horror Demons likely will not cooperate with us any longer as before.

Because of their plans, the Horror Demons’ side suffered heavy losses, especially the death of the Insect Master…

This is the biggest issue; their command structure might be disrupted.

“What about the Fear Empress?”

“She’s busy dealing with her Primordial and scorns cooperating with us.”

“Shall we use ‘Shang’s’ relic then.”

“What about the Fifth Generation Champion? Although a Horror Demon, he’s still slaughtering Horror Demons!”

“Deal with the Ninth Generation Champion first, then consider the Fifth Generation! Don’t leave him alive! He’s too dangerous, too eerie!”

“If we had known, during the first confrontation, we should have brought it out…”

“Bring out that, Champion Nemesis!”
