Chapter 773: Demon King Shi Ji’s Power [Battle With Ten Ice Beasts]
[Rainrealm Continent, Aquarius Empire, Superior Domain, Demon City]
"Is it a challenge you seek? If that is your purpose, then come forth!" Shi Ji declared without hesitation, his gaze fixed on her with an unwavering stoicism.
The mere fact that she and her allies could instigate such tension among countless demons was a testament to her strength. He wouldn’t underestimate her. He shared a similar thought process with Bi Xie: her goal must be to rescue the human race. So, she must be punished.
"Why aren’t all of you rushing in to eliminate us?" Shenlian Yingyue finally broke the silence, her voice piercing through the tension as Shi Ji commanded the others to maintain their distance and refrain from meddling in their duel.
"It is not required at this moment. Regardless of any tales you’ve heard about the demon race, I stand before you today to demonstrate the truth," Shi Ji proclaimed as he understood her question, his expression unwavering as he declared with conviction, "Human, I, Demon King Shi, accept your challenge! Now speak your name!"
Shenlian Yinzhu and the others stepped back, allowing her to confront Shi Ji while they remained vigilant, ready to thwart any potential ambush from lurking demons.
"I, as a human, issue my challenge to you, Demon King Shi!" Shenlian Yingyue refrained from revealing her name. Despite herself, she found a certain respect for his forthrightness.
’Truly deserving of the title Demon King, earning respect rather than just fear!’ She finally grasped why the demons held him in such high regard.
While they were wary of the aggression and inhumanity, Bi Xie, the Demon Prince, the respect and admiration they had for Demon King Shi was unmistakable. It was no wonder they were outraged by her challenge against their sovereign.
