Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 461: Chapter 457: The White Demon King’s Powerful Methods

”You still think to resist me?”

The Great White Demon King saw the massive phantom the Bull Demon King had conjured before him and sneered contemptuously. His gaze was no different from how one would look at an ant.

To a being of his Level, everything was an ant. A Pseudo Demon King like the Bull Demon King was, at best, a slightly larger ant. The outcome would be the same.

The Bull Demon King was dumbfounded. ’What the hell? You’re going to kill me, but I’m not allowed to fight back?’

But the White Demon King’s expression was one of cold indifference, filled with a domineering disdain. Though they stood at the same altitude, his presence alone inspired an irrepressible urge to bow and worship.

Superior rank was a crushing weight.

At that moment, the White Demon King couldn’t be bothered with idle chatter. He pointed a finger at the Bull Demon King from afar, and a glimmer of light flickered at its tip.

FWWIP...!

The space before him ripped open with a tear, and a white gleam as thin as a Silver Needle shot out, hurtling toward the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King’s expression was grim, as if treading on thin ice. Others might not have known, but he knew. This white gleam wasn’t some condensed Energy; it was a quill from the White Demon King’s own body. An ordinary hedgehog’s quills could injure someone.

But when a quill was shot from a Demon King, a life would be forfeit.

The moment the white gleam was fired, it met the air and expanded explosively, transforming into a long spear. A boundless, vicious aura suddenly erupted, and an overwhelming killing intent swept over the area. A violent squall kicked up within a several-hundred-meter radius, making it hard to breathe.

The white, glowing long spear contained immense power. It seemed to pierce even the wind in the air. Everywhere it passed, the ground cracked and shattered crazily, filled with the intent of absolute annihilation.

How could the Bull Demon King dare to be careless? The massive phantom before him bared its fangs and brandished its claws before immediately transforming into a huge black shield to block the attack.

CLANG...

The white long spear struck the giant black shield, and the entire valley shook violently. The tremor caused all the surrounding mountains to quake in unison.

The very earth shook and the mountains swayed.

It wasn’t some earth-shattering technique that would make gods and ghosts weep, but it contained the power to shake the heavens and the earth.

”You cannot block my quill,” the White Demon King said with a faint smile, his pupils constricting.

The white long spear immediately swelled in size again. The Bull Demon King’s bronze-bell eyes bulged. The massive phantom shield seemed to teeter on the verge of collapse, its form becoming substantially more transparent.

”Break,” the Great White Demon King commanded, waving his hand as if swatting a fly.

With that one word, the Bull Demon King opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The phantom shield dissipated on the spot. The white long spear flashed past and pierced straight through the Bull Demon King’s formidable body.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still. A Demon King’s methods might look simple, but their power contained the force to shatter mountains and rivers.

THUD...

A few seconds later, the Bull Demon King dazedly dropped to one knee, a look of disbelief on his face as blood continuously trickled from his mouth.

K.O.!

GASP...

In the shadows, the countless onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes. It was like being struck by a bolt from the blue. A Demon King’s strength was unquestionable, but to this extent?

’He took down the previously majestic Bull Demon King with just a single quill?’

’It seemed so effortless, as if he hadn’t done a thing.’

Inside and outside the valley, there was a dead silence. The air temperature seemed to drop to its lowest point. The fear of death invaded the heart of every Demon. Even though it had nothing to do with them, they were too terrified to move a muscle.

For the onlookers, the whole battle had been incredibly simple. They just heard a clap of thunder, saw a flash of white light, and the world seemed to freeze. Then, the Bull Demon King spat out blood and fell to his knees in defeat.

The Great White Demon King gave a wicked sneer. ’It is said that all below Rank 3 are ants. No, it should be that all below the Demon King Level are ants.’

A being at the Pseudo Demon King Level was as fragile as a piece of paper before him.

The White Demon King’s expression was as if he had just done something utterly trivial. His imposing eyes shifted from the kneeling Bull Demon King to the towering, ancient tree in the distance.

The leaves of the ancient tree instantly rustled and fell, as if swept by a gale. The tree itself seemed so scared it wished it could burrow underground.

The White Demon King shook his head and, once again, pointed from afar, aiming at the ball of light beneath the ancient tree.

But just then...

”White Demon King, why have you come to kill me?”

A voice appeared in the White Demon King’s mind. A smile played on his lips. ”You’re just a measly snake. I don’t like the look of you, so I’ll kill you.”

His words were utterly contemptuous and tyrannical.

FWWIP...

Another white gleam shot from his fingertip, transforming into a death-bringing long spear as it hurtled toward the Molting Snake Spirit under the ancient tree, bent on its destruction.

The countless onlooking Demons were instantly stirred. This single point from the White Demon King seemed even more terrifying than a fatal Celestial Tribulation.

The mighty Bull Demon King, a being at the Pseudo Demon King Level, couldn’t block it and was brought to his knees. One could only imagine how terrifying it was.

What could that Molting Snake Spirit possibly use to defend itself?

At this critical moment, the three ferocious Super level Creatures from before formed a line, positioning themselves in front of the ancient tree. The white long spear would have to get past them first.

The Great White Demon King sneered. ’Super level Creatures? What a joke.’

”This old bull isn’t dead yet!”

When the white long spear came within a kilometer of the ancient tree, the Bull Demon King’s imposing figure materialized on the spot. Gripping his Iron Rod, he brought it down with the force of a crashing galaxy.

This one strike, carrying enough power to shatter a mountain, smashed toward the white long spear.

BOOM...

The white long spear was shattered by the blow, dissipating instantly. The resulting shockwave swept madly across the land. The rumbling grew louder and louder, the vibrations alone killing countless weaker creatures on the spot.

The Bull Demon King’s bronze-bell eyes were now wide open, his aura Spiritual and Fierce. His body was tall and mighty, over five zhang high, and his entire being radiated a heaven-piercing Evil Qi. He pointed his Iron Rod at the White Demon King, the space before him trembling. ”You call yourself a Demon King, yet you launch a sneak attack while my master is molting! What kind of skill is that? If you have any guts, wait for him to finish!”

It was an accusation, his voice booming like a great bell, audible for hundreds of kilometers around.

To dare question a Demon King like that—one had to admit, this bull was putting it all on the line.

The White Demon King was momentarily stunned, then he burst into laughter. His laugh was like a Sound Wave Skill, powerful enough to make the brains of ordinary Awakened Creatures explode.

”And what if he does finish molting?” the White Demon King asked coldly after he finished laughing.

Puffs of white, smoke-like air snorted from the Bull Demon King’s nostrils. ”At least it would be a fair fight! You’re a Demon King, yet you resort to sneak attacks. What are you afraid of?”

Afraid???

The White Demon King looked as if he had heard the world’s greatest joke. ”I simply don’t wish to waste time. Even if this Snake Spirit finishes molting, do you truly believe he would have the strength to oppose me?”

In truth, no one had previously considered the White Demon King’s actions a sneak attack. He was the king of this Domain. When he wanted someone dead, did he need to be reasonable?

Besides, even if that Snake Spirit finished molting, wouldn’t the outcome be the same?

’The great White Demon King is going to waste time waiting for it to finish molting? What a joke.’

But the Bull Demon King’s question—asking what the Great White Demon King was afraid of—planted a seed of doubt in the minds of the onlookers.

’Why would the White Demon King move to kill a Snake Spirit that had just proven itself? Was it because the snake was too stunning, too monstrously talented?’

’The Snake Spirit survived a fatal Celestial Tribulation. It’s no exaggeration to say it was destined to reach the Demon King Level in the future. Could it be that the White Demon King worried this Snake Spirit would threaten his position, and that’s why he came to execute it now?’

’Yes, that must be the reason. But... there’s nothing wrong with that, is there?’

’If you know of a potential threat, why would you let it live?’

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, no one talks about principles or righteousness. Eliminating dissenters and consolidating one’s own position was only natural.
