"Tsk tsk, what an ugly and fragile love this is!
You're demons, yet you're burdened with so many useless emotions.
This Sovereign has no interest in watching your melodramatic love story. Right now, I only care about the Ten Thousand Demon Banner—understand?" Gu Qingfeng said with a bored expression.
The Azure Demon Emperor clutched his face, howling in agony. It took him a long while to recover.
He glared at Gu Qingfeng and snarled viciously, "You want my Ten Thousand Demon Banner? Dream on! I'd rather die than hand it over to you damned—"
BAM!
Gu Qingfeng stomped on the Azure Demon Emperor's head, slamming it deep into the ground, leaving a crater. He even ground his foot a few times for good measure.
"When did I ever say I was going to take your Ten Thousand Demon Banner? Stop putting words in my mouth, will you?"
Gu Qingfeng crouched down, grabbed the Azure Demon Emperor's hair, and yanked his head out of the dirt like pulling a radish. Staring into the demon's furious, helpless eyes, he said coldly, "Get out of here right now. Find some corner to heal, then use the Ten Thousand Demon Banner to devour other demons and gather strength. After that, come back and try to kill me. Understood?"
"What kind of scheme are you plotting now?! I don’t believe you’d let me go! You must be planning to ambush me when I use the banner to absorb other demons! Keep dreaming!"
Damn it!
Why was this demon so damn stubborn?
"Fine. I’ve said all I need to say, and you still don’t believe me. Suit yourself. Stay here and watch as I personally entertain your three thousand concubines. Let’s see how long you can endure."
"You wouldn’t dare!!"
The Azure Demon Emperor roared in fury.
"What wouldn’t I dare? You won’t even use the Ten Thousand Demon Banner to take revenge. You’re just lying there, drowning in rage and hatred. I gave you a chance, and you wasted it. Who’s to blame?
"Oh, right. You have a daughter, don’t you? Princess Qinglin, was it? A mermaid, I believe."
At that moment, the Azure Demon Emperor panicked.
"What are you planning?! Stay away from my daughter!"
"Relax, keep your voice down. What’s wrong with touching your daughter? How many humans have you and your kind enslaved? How many daughters of men have you defiled?
Why is your daughter suddenly off-limits?"
The Azure Demon Emperor’s eyes nearly burst from rage. "Those lowly creatures are nothing compared to my daughter!"
Gu Qingfeng smirked coldly and whispered into the demon’s ear, "Don’t worry. I won’t lay a finger on her. I’ve just heard an interesting rumor—they say mermaids are exceptionally skilled at blowing bubbles. Today seems like a good day to test if that’s true."
The Azure Demon Emperor completely snapped. His eyes turned blood-red, veins bulging across his body. Ignoring the vast difference in power, he thrashed wildly, trying to lunge at Gu Qingfeng.
It seemed that whether human or demon, when pushed to the brink, anyone could tap into their hidden potential.
In his overwhelming fury, the Azure Demon Emperor’s restraints loosened—his power surged beyond limits. If not for the suppression of the Qing Realm, he might have even broken through to a divine realm in this state.
"I’LL KILL YOU!!!"
Finally, he broke free.
Like a warrior igniting his inner fire, he charged recklessly at the great demon before him.
An imaginary battle theme seemed to play in the air.
The moment was epic.
SLAP!
A single backhand strike.
The music stopped.
The Azure Demon Emperor spun through the air like a top, performing an involuntary pirouette before crashing to the ground.
Cough!
Blood gushed from his mouth, mixed with shattered teeth and bits of flesh.
Yet, the will to protect his family burned within him. This unyielding determination forced his fading consciousness back into focus.
With a bloodied hand, he clawed at the ground, dragging himself toward Gu Qingfeng inch by inch. A trail of crimson marked his path.
Fear no longer existed in his mind—only hatred. Even if his body was broken, even if he had to crawl, he would tear a piece of flesh from Gu Qingfeng with his teeth if he had to.
Finally, he reached him.
Just as his trembling fingers were about to brush Gu Qingfeng’s robes—
CRUNCH.
A foot came down, crushing his hand into the dirt.
A cold voice drifted into his ears. "You almost dirtied my clothes."
Despair and helplessness swallowed the Azure Demon Emperor whole.
But he refused to yield. With a bloodstained grin, he spat through broken teeth, "You may be strong… but the Sacred Clan is stronger! My master will descend… and avenge me!"
As he uttered those words, his strength drained away, and his body collapsed.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt weightless—Gu Qingfeng had lifted him up by the collar.
"Again with the assumptions. When did I say I was going to kill you?"
Gu Qingfeng shoved a healing pill into the demon’s mouth—just to make sure he didn’t die.
After finishing all this, he flung the Azure Demon Emperor far away.
"Alright, get lost now. Then come back to seek revenge on me with all the hatred in your heart. Whether you go to the Sacred Clan or use the Banner of Ten Thousand Demons, I'll be waiting for you, rain or shine.
Of course, you could also choose to be afraid, to not come back, to live like a stray dog hiding everywhere. But if that's the case, your concubines, your throne, and your daughter—they'll all belong to me.
Don't worry, I'll take good care of your wife and daughter."
With that, Gu Qingfeng paid no further attention to the Azure Demon Emperor and instead wrapped his arm around the White Fox Queen as they returned to the palace.
"Master, how could you let him go? He’ll definitely come back for revenge with the Banner of Ten Thousand Demons!" the White Fox Queen said anxiously.
Gu Qingfeng gave her a surprised look. "Weren’t you once his concubine? I never thought you’d want him dead so badly now."
The White Fox Queen flushed slightly in embarrassment but quickly steeled herself. "That was in the past. Now that I serve you, Master, I must sever all ties with my former life."
"Heh, you’re just afraid he’ll come back strong enough to kill you, aren’t you?"
The White Fox Queen grew even more flustered but pressed on. "Master, I’m only worried about you. The power of the Banner of Ten Thousand Demons depends on how many demons it devours. If the Azure Demon Emperor absorbs a massive number of demons, it’ll become a real threat. You should just kill him now."
Slap!
A sharp backhand sent the White Fox Queen sprawling to the ground.
"Know your place. A mere slave dares to tell me what to do? Do you have a death wish? If not for your looks, do you think you’d still be alive?"
The White Fox Queen trembled, quickly crawling on her knees to cling to Gu Qingfeng’s leg in terror. "Master, I was wrong! I’ll never dare again!"
"Get out of my sight. I’m in a foul mood," Gu Qingfeng said, kicking her away.
But the White Fox Queen pressed close again.
"Master, let me help you cool down."
"Piss off. Go summon Princess Qinglin for me."
