Chapter 776 - 776 You've Cut Down the Boss!
776 You’ve Cut Down the Boss!
“A demon!?”
Sensing the aura from the depths of the pit, the short-robed man and the others’ expressions changed drastically.
“Is that the Supreme of the demon race?”
The aura was not directed at them, but it still made them suffocate.
They wanted to turn around and run away immediately, but they were afraid that even the slightest movement would attract the terrifying demon to attack.
“Even the self-explosion didn’t kill him. I’m afraid that the Supreme of the demon race has come in person!”
Just as the people were in shock, the short-robed man’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed.
“No, that demon seems to be controlled by someone!”
The others also quickly realized this.
“As expected! There’s a human under the demon!”
“Oh, my God! Could he even control a Supreme demon? Who are they?”
They sensed that the demon that made their souls tremble had lost its ability to move and had been sent out of the pit.
The few people couldn’t help but feel their scalps go numb. They stood rooted.
Inside the pit, a humanoid armored demon nearly 1,000 meters tall was lying in the air, slowly pushed out by a human figure.
After pushing the demon out of the pit, that person discovered the short-robed man and the others.
However, he didn’t care about it. He merely glanced at them, then disappeared from the desolate land with the demon.
“Gulp!”
It was not until a long time after the man and the demon had left that the short-robed man and the others swallowed and slowly exhaled.
“How terrifying! I can’t sense that person’s aura at all!”
“I’m afraid that even if he hasn’t surpassed the Supreme Realm, he must have reached the peak!”
“Sigh, it seems like that Divine Weapon is extraordinary. It can even attract experts of that level!”
“You still want the Divine Weapon? Forget it. At our level, I’m afraid we’re not fated to have one in this lifetime!”
They sighed and quickly calmed down from the shock of the unknown demon and the mysterious man.
Looking at the devastated land, the short-robed man looked around and turned grave.
“That kind of expert is not someone you and I can talk about. Compared to him, there’s another person we should really pay attention to.”
As soon as he said that, the other three people instantly returned to their senses.
“Yeah, where did that guy go?”
They looked at each other, knowing who they were referring to.
The short-robed man stretched out his hand to stir the free lightning particles in the air. His face was as calm as water, and his thoughts were unreadable.
After the other three pondered shortly, one of them tried to ask, “Lin Qiye has mastered the power of lightning. The self-destruction was triggered by lightning. Could it be…”
At this point, they were all shocked.
They had already thought of this earlier.
Since Wang Lin does not use lightning, there was no doubt only one person was left who could trigger the explosion and kill tens of billions of demons.
That person was Lin Qiye!
As far as they knew, Lin Qiye was the only person in the vicinity who could control lightning.
Other than him, they could not imagine who else could trigger such terrifying power.
“I didn’t expect we would all underestimate that guy. I’m afraid his strength is already above all of us!”
“Hmph! So what if he’s strong? That guy who doesn’t know how to appreciate favors has still fallen now!”
They were displeased that Lin Qiye had not given them the Divine Weapon.
Therefore, when they guessed Lin Qiye had self-destructed and died with the demon army, they were more gloating than lamenting.
Only the short-robed man with the highest cultivation, playing with the Military Medal that belonged to Wang Lin, spoke slowly.
“Almost all of his power comes from that Divine Weapon. Even if he self-destructed, it’s impossible to trigger such terrifying energy. I’m afraid Wang Lin is the one who destroyed the demon army.”
The few of them could not help but nod.
“That’s right. Lin Qiye’s power comes from that Divine Weapon. He could never cause such a terrifying explosion.”
“It looks like Wang Lin rushed to the scene and borrowed the power of Lin Qiye’s lightning to release and transform his own before detonating it, resulting in the current situation.”
After some speculation, they all felt this was the only way to explain why the explosion was caused by lightning, but they found countless treasures that belonged to Wang Lin nearby.
After all, they did not expect Wang Lin to abandon his power and re-cultivate lightning from the past thousands of years.
“I really didn’t expect that the person from the Wang family would be so dedicated.”
“Hehe, isn’t that good? That’s tens of billions of demons!”
“After this, our southern warzone will probably be safe for decades! Come to think of it, we should really thank him and that Lin Qiye fellow!”
“Hahaha! You’re right!”
As the few talked and laughed, they were full of playful smiles.
Although they didn’t get the Divine Weapon, the annihilation of the tens of billions of demons had given the southern warzone a great development opportunity.
Without the demon army’s obstruction, they could send the members of their forces out to search for resources.
A few decades was enough to amass a considerable amount of wealth.
After dividing the interests of the southern warzone, they left with satisfaction.
No one noticed that not long after they left, the free energy in the void began to condense rapidly.
A figure slowly configurated from the pile of fragments they had picked up.
The figure seemed weak. Although it barely formed, it was in a half-illusionary state. It was as if it would dissipate on the spot if a gust of wind blew.
After a long time, after continuously absorbing energy to recover, the ethereal figure finally became more solid.
He let out a long breath, looked at the pit formed by the explosion, and murmured in a low voice.
“Brother Lin…”
This figure was none other than Meng Tu.
Previously, when Lin Qiye and Wang Lin fought, the short-robed man and the others broke free from Lin Qiye’s control and escaped. However, he was trapped by the demon army because he was relatively close to Lin Qiye.
Fortunately, he was outside the isolation formation. Although he couldn’t escape, he wasn’t affected by the battle between Lin Qiye and Wang Lin.
He didn’t know what was happening in the center of the demons’ encirclement.
Therefore, when he sensed the terrifying energy caused by Wang Lin’s self-explosion, he could only risk everything and enter the spatial crack torn by the explosion.
The unknown void layer was filled with endless destructive energy.
Although he managed to avoid Wang Lin’s self-explosion, he could not resist the tearing of the space interlayer.
By the time he had used all his strength to escape, his body had long been annihilated, leaving only a broken soul barely attached to a treasure fragment with spiritual Qi.
When the short-robed man and the others discovered the fragment, he did not dare to reveal his aura.
He could only escape detection by relying on the aura fluctuations of the treasure fragment.
He had heard everything the group had just said.
He also finally knew what happened in the center of the demon army.
“I didn’t expect you to sacrifice yourself for the southern warzone. You make me blush with shame…”
Meng Tu sighed weakly.
“Don’t worry, Brother Lin. Your deeds will be remembered by the southern warzone! I won’t let your sacrifice be in vain!”
