Chapter 229: Solo Battle with the Demon Lord - Part 2

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Aston first paused, then burst into laughter, "Human, I don't know if you are ignorant or fearless. Do you really think the Demonic Plane is the same as the world you come from?

I admit you are strong, but thinking you could contend against us several Greater Demon Lords united is undoubtedly a fantasy. Once they arrive, it will be your end."

Qin Xiao nodded thoughtfully at this, "I think you make a good point. Since you've already sent out the message, you're no longer of any value to me. I might as well kill you first; it will make dealing with the other Demon Lords easier."

"You..."

At a loss for words, Aston's mouth opened and closed again.

Watching Qin Xiao steadily approaching, he genuinely wished he could slap himself—why had he run his mouth off just now?

"You, don't come any closer, if you do, I'll take you down with me," he warned.

Qin Xiao moved forward, Aston retreated.

Panic surged in his heart.

"Damn it, if it weren't for so many of my Greater Demons being killed, my strength could have increased by a lot, and maybe I could have escaped from him..."

In this moment, the lofty Demon Lord wasn't thinking about how to defeat Qin Xiao but about how to run away.

He had turned coward.

He finally felt fear.

However.

Qin Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze sweeping around the area.

There were three strong presences approaching rapidly from the left, right, and behind, none weaker than Aston's.

"Phew..." Aston let out a sigh of relief, "Pathetic insect, you can feel it, can't you? The other Monarchs have arrived, and your time is up!"

He sneered with newfound confidence, "You'll regret not taking the chance to kill me when you had it!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao laughed, "Really? Too bad you don't understand me. I never do anything that would leave me with regrets."

As his voice fell, the Soul Rings on Qin Xiao's body flashed, and he vanished from the spot.

A terrible premonition instantly surged in Aston's heart, a chill running down his spine.

With this thought in mind, he instinctively looked down.

And that look was all it took to petrify him.

"It's not just a feeling..."

"It's actually cold!"

There was now a huge hole in his chest, which he had no idea how had appeared.

Looking through the hole, one could see a face calm and composed.

Without a doubt, it was Qin Xiao.

He had teleported behind Aston and then, with just one strike of the Titan Cangqiong Cannon, shattered his heart. His movements were seamless, so much so that even a Demon Lord with strength comparable to Qiandaoliu didn't have a chance to react before being killed instantly.

Of course.

He had also infused a bit of Divine Power into the Titan Cangqiong Cannon to enable such a terrifying force.

"Aston!"

"Aston!"

"Aston!"

Cries of shock rang out simultaneously from the voices of the other three Greater Demon Lords.

Their voices were filled with astonishment, disbelief, incredulity.

And it wasn't just them.

The Soul Masters and Aston's minions who had been watching the battle were also stunned by this turn of events.

The once indomitable Demon Lord, just like that, was gone?

Quite abruptly...

"Human, I will tear you to pieces, extract your soul, and burn it as oil for a thousand years!" one of the Demon Lords roared, unleashing hundreds of sword energies at Qin Xiao.

Another Demon Lord threw a giant flaming net towards Qin Xiao.

Yet another, a massive demon resembling a small mountain, descended from the sky as if to crush Qin Xiao with its body.

At this moment.

The three Greater Demon Lords combined forces, unleashing terrifying combat power.

From a distance, the Deepsea Devil Whale King glanced at the battlefield, his heart suddenly trembling.

Upon reflection, he knew he couldn't withstand such an onslaught.

"Even if you are blessed by the Plane Will, that depends on the place. But this damn place is the Demonic Plane! Can the Plane Will of Soul Land still help you here?"

The Devil Whale King thought Qin Xiao was being impulsive as he cursed and swung his tail to knock away the Greater Demons fighting him, then charged toward Qin Xiao as fast as he could.

"Hmm?"

"This guy... knowing the danger, he still comes charging over..."

The actions of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale made Qin Xiao feel a sense of surprise.

This also shook his previous determination to dispose of him once he was no longer useful.

Perhaps, after exploiting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale, he should spare them?

But that was a thought for later.

Right now, Qin Xiao knew he had to deal with the three Greater Demon Lords before him!

Retaliation was a courtesy; being passively attacked was not his style.

The next moment, Qin Xiao made his move.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering the swath of sword energies and tearing through the giant net. Then, without losing momentum, he collided with the descending Demon Lord.

Boom!

The two collided fiercely, emitting a deafening noise.

Then, everyone saw the Demon Lord, massive as a small mountain, being blasted away.

Qin Xiao's figure, however, remained steadily in mid-air.

Looking down upon the three Great Demon Lords, he couldn't help but smile, "You three are surrounded by me."

"What a joke," one of them retorted.

"Human, you're playing with fire!" said another.

"..."

The three Great Demon Lords were infuriated by their failed strike.

They roared and charged towards Qin Xiao once more.

However, as Qin Xiao's spiritual power unfolded, he resonated with the forces of heaven and earth.

Boom, boom, boom!

One after another, purple lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere. The terrifying power tore through the sky, creating pitch-black rifts in the void.

"To casually tear space apart, what kind of strength is this?" wondered the onlookers.

The three rage-filled Great Demon Lords suddenly calmed down.

But their moment of hesitation left them enveloped in a sky full of Thunderous Force, obscuring their figures from everyone's sight.

"This..."

"Am I dreaming?"

"Qin Xiao is actually taking on three by himself?"

The Deepsea Devil Whale King stopped in its tracks from afar.

Staring ahead blankly, it felt somewhat at a loss.

Do I even need to help?

Time ticked by, second by second.

Countless gazes were fixed on the space shrouded by lightning.

Both humans and demons understood clearly that the outcome of this battle would depend on who among the three Great Demon Lords could last to the end.

"Thunder Turned into Stars!"

"Lei Emperor's Finger!"

"Nine Heavens Tribulation Light!"

Suddenly, Qin Xiao's voice rang out.

Immediately after, numerous bolts of lightning congregated to form several hundreds of meters in diameter thunder balls.

Each emitted a destructive aura that made hearts tremble.

In addition, a finger large as the Pillar of Heaven, as if descending from the ninth heaven, slowly fell.

Qin Xiao's figure also appeared before everyone's eyes.

But around him flowed a mysterious aura.

It was as though he was from an unknown world.

And then, from that world emerged a blinding light, seemingly the first after the creation of the universe, dazzling to behold.

"What power is this?"

"Gurgle, I feel like under such an attack, we might be destroyed," one lamented.

"Be confident, you can drop the 'feel.' But still, I advise you, run away while you can!"

Having said that, the Demon Lord with the mountainous form turned tail and ran.

The other two Great Demon Lords also had abrupt changes in expression and scampered in different directions.

But Qin Xiao had prepared for so long; how could he permit these fiends a chance to escape?

"Perish." He waved his hand, and the sky full of lightning was the first to plummet. This attack was not haphazard but linked in a chain.

The one running furthest was immediately enveloped by it.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

A series of tremors shook the ground.

Under the gaze of numerous eyes, the Demon Lord lasted only against two thunder balls before being blasted to bits.

The remaining attacks were simply beating a dead horse.

This scene sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Qin Xiao's actions reaffirmed to all that even a Demon Lord could not withstand his full power.

On the other side,

The Lei Emperor's Finger fell with an overwhelming force.

A Demon Lord was gradually pressed into the earth.

Everyone knew that this one was most likely doomed as well.

But could the last one escape?

Instinctively, they turned their eyes to another direction.

Compared to the other Demon Lords, his situation was significantly better.

But the colorful light that befell him did no harm to his body; instead, it annihilated his soul directly.

He fell to the ground like a straw man, completely rigid.

"It's over!"

In that moment, everyone felt a weight lift from their shoulders.
