Chapter 942: Shadowfiend
Big Cat put the ring on his finger before rising and striding toward the Shadowfiend.
Under the pressure of the God-Killing Domain, the Shadowfiend's figure was now fully revealed. It stood at only about one and a half meters tall, and its skin was a semi-translucent gray. Smoke coiled around its body, and its head was shaped like a jujube pit, with small eyes located on the sides. Its limbs were long and thin, and at this moment, its gaze was filled with terror.
The Shadowfiend possessed a natural talent for treasure detection. Even through a storage ring, it could sense valuable items to a certain extent. It had entered this tavern for a drink, like every other customer, and naturally, it could tell that Tang San and Big Cat were both powerhouses above the tenth order. But when that storage ring appeared, it instantly sensed immense wealth inside and chose to take a chance.
It had never expected to crash headlong into a steel wall.
"Spare me, spare me! There's no fighting allowed in the Ancestral Court... I... I didn't even do anything!" The Shadowfiend was rather cunning. It emphasized the Ancestral Court's no-fighting rule and insisted that it hadn't done anything. Since it hadn't succeeded in stealing the ring, it technically hadn't committed theft, which would complicate things if a patrol arrived.
Tang San said calmly, "Is that so?"
The next moment, a light projection appeared, recorded through Tang San's divine consciousness. It clearly displayed how the Shadowfiend had made a move and how Big Cat had subdued it.
"I am under the distinct impression that the Ancestral Court also prohibits theft, and you attempted to do precisely that. So don't worry about me breaking the rules; this is not a fight. I am simply executing a thief, don't you agree?"
The Shadowfiend shivered violently. It realized it had truly miscalculated. The fact that the other party could replay events like that meant that their divine consciousness far exceeded its own. These two weren't just Demon Kings—they were Great Demon Kings.
