Chapter 93: Hell Lord Asmodeus!

Flipping tables was what he did best. He noticed that this BOSS was overly cautious, not even on Earth, yet still wanted to play a cat-and-mouse game. He didn't have the time for that.

Tracing the source of the aura, he went straight to the opponent's front.

Enjoy hiding? I've come to your house; let's see how you hide now.

Moreover, this demon lord didn't give Bi Xiao much of a sense of oppression, so he was determined to take down this BOSS.

Even if he couldn't win in the other's territory, Bi Xiao could escape, and the opponent couldn't stop him.

He also had another assurance: Ancient One. Ancient One was the absolute master of backup plans. Having invested so much in him, she wouldn't let that investment go to waste.

If an accident occurred, Bi Xiao would owe Ancient One another favor.

Since he already owed favors, a few more wouldn't matter. As long as he could defeat this demon, it would be worth it to owe another favor.

"What a lunatic."

The demon lord didn't understand Bi Xiao's thoughts, only thinking that this human had a rather fiery temper. However, being in his own territory, he calmed himself slightly and was about to speak, but Bi Xiao didn't give him a chance for any nonsense.

Vroom!

In the next moment, the gateway to the dimensional world opened, and thousands upon thousands of golden vortices, shimmering like mirrors, appeared behind him, layering like a huge golden wall.

Dazzling golden light shone across this world.

Terrifying energy rippled and swept in all directions.

The entire world trembled, shivered, and distorted.

The demon's eyes widened abruptly. Instinctively, he roared in anger, fully revealing his true demonic form.

His demonic body was a gigantic monster with a human torso, serpent tail, and chicken feet. He had three enormous heads: a human head, a goat head, and a bull head. One hand held a large, exaggerated sword, while the other held a massive blood-red banner.

On the other side, thousands upon thousands of weapons appeared from the golden vortices as Bi Xiao waved his hand gently.

Boom!

Countless weapons, surrounded by golden magical particles, fell like a shower of golden meteors. In that instant, their speed reached the speed of light, inducing a scalp-numbing feeling just by looking at them. Even the demon felt a great sense of danger.

Roaring, he swung his large sword.

A vast black-purple magic power was released. Powerful dark magic transformed into layers of enormous black-purple magic shields above the palace, totaling thirteen layers, each larger and covering a wider area than the last.

In an instant, the dense falling meteors bombarded these massive magic shields like a torrential downpour.

Unfortunately, facing tens of thousands of light-speed attacks, these magic shields couldn't hold up, shattering completely in less than a second.

The terrifying pressure made the demon below feel like cursing. Without hesitation, he vanished from where he stood.

Thus, endless meteors fell and exploded on the vast and luxurious ancient castle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, violent explosions erupted. Thousands upon thousands of golden mushroom clouds burst forth, and the ground shook wildly. The raging energy swept in all directions, overturning the earth from the palace outward as if plowed, and the air currents devoured everything in their path.

The devastation extended for tens or even hundreds of kilometers, and those demons and undead caught in the blast and unable to escape were annihilated in despair and screams.

It took a long, long time for everything to calm down.

A strong wind blew, dispersing the pervasive dust and revealing a bleak scene below. A vast area of tens of kilometers was sunken, pitted with craters like the surface of the moon, and the luxurious castle of the demon was nothing but history, reduced to ruins.

Without even glancing down, Bi Xiao looked ahead. In the air in front of him, stood the three-headed demon, about three kilometers away.

"Are you Asmodeus?"

"You fool, you will suffer the most brutal punishment for your actions. I will imprison you in the depths of hell's cage forever, where you will repent in endless pain," Asmodeus's three heads said in a low, hoarse voice, echoing in this world.

Bi Xiao was indifferent. His clothes fluttered in the air as he stared at the infamous demon king, Asmodeus.

He recognized Asmodeus mainly because there was a book in Kamar-Taj that recorded information about some powerful demon lords in the hell dimension, including Asmodeus.

Asmodeus was described in the book as the demon king representing "lust."

He was a well-known figure in hell. According to the book, Asmodeus liked to monopolize human women he fancied, indiscriminately. If they were engaged, he would kill all their fiancés.

Moreover, Asmodeus particularly liked pure-hearted women, or rather, all demons did, because such women had the purest souls, which were chosen by angels to become vessels for their descent.

He once wreaked havoc on the earth. During a war between heaven and hell, he fought with the archangel Raphael, falling into a disadvantage and was finally captured by the archangel Gabriel.

How he escaped back to hell was probably due to some trade-off, paying a considerable price.

Asmodeus also had a famous wife, Lilith, the embodiment of plague and storm. Lilith represented lust, never aged, had long black hair, and a serpent's tail. No man could resist her charm, and she absorbed men's vitality to stay young. She ruled the night and Friday.

In the book, there was a specific description of Lilith, saying that she, who came from ancient times, radiated youthful vitality, with a neck like cream adorned with garlands of roses and poppies. She always descended at night, weaving a web of emotions with her gentle gaze, making every man lose his soul and fall deeply in love.

Considering the semi-nude woman's painting in the police station storage room and Asmodeus's comment that she would like Bi Xiao, it was likely referring to Lilith.

Bi Xiao developed a keen interest in this notorious lust demon. Don't get it wrong; he just wanted to see if the legendary demon was as beautiful as described.

After all, men are like that.

Shaking off these impractical thoughts, Bi Xiao surveyed the surroundings. His vast super-sensory perception detected that, during his attack on Asmodeus, distant gazes were focused on him, conveying surprise, doubt, malice, killing intent, and greed.

Clearly, his arrival had attracted the attention of other demon lords in hell.

Among them, he also sensed a familiar gaze, Ancient One.

A master of Ancient One's caliber would certainly watch quietly.

"It seems I'm about to become famous."

Although those demon lords were watching him, Bi Xiao wasn't worried. Instead, he grew more excited. There were too many of them, indeed too many.

Even with a rough sense, there were at least more than ten demon lords.

Hell was indeed one of the largest dungeons. Once he conquered it, he would establish his place at the Sky Father's level or even above.

As for whether these demon lords would attack together?

Bi Xiao didn't care at all. Hell was the true dark forest, adhering to only one law: survival of the fittest, in its most brutal form.

A demon lord's death meant that the resources and territory belonging to the demon lord would become available.

If those demon lords sensed another demon lord's weakness, they would swarm like hyenas, mercilessly tearing them apart.

Similarly, the power gap among demon lords wasn't significant, so they wouldn't easily go to war. Once at war, both sides would suffer losses, and any sign of weakness would invite other demon lords to attack.

The same logic applied to Bi Xiao and Asmodeus's battle.

The demon lords didn't care if Bi Xiao was a demon or human. They were only interested in the outcome. No matter who lived or died, once the battle ended, the demon lords would appear and tear them both apart, even dividing their souls.

Observing a fight from a distance seemed like a good idea, but they didn't know what would happen if they let Bi Xiao and Asmodeus fight.

This was why Bi Xiao confidently entered hell and confronted Asmodeus.

Bi Xiao could sense those demon lords watching quietly. As a demon lord, Asmodeus also sensed this. His human head wore a grim expression, and he spat out a flame, staring eerily at the seemingly mad human before him.

"Do you know what you have done?"

"You don't understand hell's rules and dare to intrude here. Look around you. I believe you feel those gazes. Do you know what the result will be?"

"Now, get out of my territory."

Asmodeus roared in anger. Regardless, this time his reputation took a massive hit. A human had intruded into his territory and destroyed his castle. This was a significant blow to his status as a demon lord.

Demons didn't care much about reputation unless it brought great benefits. But this time, there were no benefits, only humiliation in front of other demon lords. He would be furious if he wasn't angry. If he could, he would tear Bi Xiao apart.

But Bi Xiao's displayed strength made him wary.

So he could only gain some advantage verbally. Asmodeus believed that if the opponent had any sense, they wouldn't continue fighting him now, at most exchange some harsh words, a process he was very familiar with, just like the previous wars with heaven.

However, Asmodeus didn't expect that Bi Xiao's mind worked differently from others, or rather, his perspective was completely different.

Facing the enraged Asmodeus, Bi Xiao's handsome face remained expressionless. He said softly, "You have killed too many innocent women. You shouldn't have set your sights on her either."

"You must pay for your actions."

With that, a fierce, vast aura swept across the world like a storm, as if the will of an ancient god had awakened. The majestic aura shook the heavens and the earth, and the weapons embedded in the ground below vanished.

From the golden vortices behind him, the weapons that made Asmodeus change color reappeared.

"You lunatic."

Asmodeus roared in disbelief. Black-purple energy surged out instantly, transforming into a river hanging upside down in the sky. Amidst his anger, he was terrified.

He never expected the opponent to be so insane, entering hell alone to fight him just for a group of weak humans and a woman.

Not only that, knowing that continuing the battle would lead to others taking advantage and certain death, he still insisted on killing him.

What kind of deep-seated hatred could drive someone to such an extent?

At their level, there was no such thing as hatred. In their long years, hatred was just an episode. Only interests and resources were eternal.

Even if they hated someone, they would bury it deep in their hearts, waiting for a suitable opportunity for revenge.

Such reckless behavior was completely against the rules he knew.

Bi Xiao didn't bother with words. This information gap made his actions seem strange to others. Only he knew why he did it.

Boom!!

Endless radiant beams poured towards Asmodeus. Despite his rage and regret for provoking this madman, he could only accept the challenge helplessly.

The raging black tide and dazzling golden light collided in that moment.
