Chapter 1681: In a Dilemma
Just as Ning Qi was about to issue the order to fire, everyone suddenly froze in shock and promptly ceased the bombardment.
Gu Fan made a simple gesture, merely removing his mask to reveal his true face, and it was enough to astonish everyone.
"Members of the X Legion, listen up. I am your master," Gu Fan shouted loudly, his voice rumbling across the land, filled with overwhelming authority.
At this moment, the people at the Demon Refining Island Base were dumbfounded, staring in disbelief. The intruder turned out to be the Great Demon King.
"What... what’s going on here?" Everyone was bewildered, one after another looking toward Ning Qi, hoping she, as a senior figure, could provide a reasonable explanation.
Ning Qi immediately spoke, "Don’t trust him. This isn’t the Great Demon King; he just happens to look similar."
"Oh, really?" The soldiers of the X Legion remained skeptical and then saw Gu Fan and Gu Xiaojin walking toward the Demon Refining Island Base together.
Everyone knew that Gu Xiaojin was the Great Demon King’s daughter. Now, seeing her walking alongside someone who looked exactly like the Great Demon King, how could this make sense? Could it really be as Ning Qi said—that this person merely resembled the Great Demon King?
Seeing the hesitation in the X Legion soldiers, who dared not open fire, Ning Qi became furious. "What are you all standing there for? Fire now!"
"But..." The X Legion soldiers still hesitated. In their hearts, the Great Demon King was an immensely terrifying presence; firing upon him would surely have severe consequences.
Ning Qi shouted anxiously, "What are you afraid of? If anything goes wrong, I’ll bear the responsibility!"
