Chapter 1758 - 1757: Probing
"To ignore a favor is impolite. Since I’ve had a cup of your Demon Wine, not reciprocating would only make me look stingy if word got out," Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
With a flip of his hand, he took out a panda cigar and tossed it over, then tossed another one to Zha Muzhen, lit his own, and squinted as he started to smoke.
"Speak! How would you like to die? I’ll make sure you have an intact corpse afterward," Zhang Xiaohao exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Hahaha—! This Demon Ancestor may only be at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but I have many means. The demonic heavens are boundless, and with the help of these Eating Immortal Demon Ants, you think you can harm me?" The black-clothed scholar laughed arrogantly.
"Whether you can be defeated is not for you to decide! We’ll see the truth in our confrontation later," Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"You have guts, kid! This Demon Ancestor finds himself liking you more and more! The two behind you are not bad. One belongs to the Ancient Demon Clan of my Demon Realm, and the other is a royal member of the Spirit Clan. If I’m not wrong, he should be the Child of Space Law!" The black-clothed scholar said with a smile.
"Your insight is sharp! You can see right through, it seems your title of Demon Ancestor is well earned!" Zhang Xiaohao admitted freely.
"Since you can make them your followers, your own skills must be considerable!" The black-clothed scholar said.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaohao nodded, not downplaying his abilities.
Without giving the black-clothed scholar a chance to speak again, Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Are you Qi Ye Demon Ancestor or just a remnant soul of his?"
"You’ve already guessed correctly, why ask again? Is it interesting?" The black-clothed scholar curled his lips into a faint smile.
"As I thought, it’s Qi Ye Demon Ancestor! If my guess is correct, you’re the Demon Ancestor that once tried Crossing Tribulation and Ascending in the Demon Realm, right? You possess the Reincarnation Law but failed for unknown reasons!" Zhang Xiaohao expressed his doubts aloud.
"You’re correct! He and I are one and the same. For certain reasons, this Demon Ancestor failed Crossing Tribulation back then! It’s not because this Demon Ancestor wasn’t strong enough, but because someone from the Upper Realm forbids anyone from this world to ascend. As for other reasons, if you manage to escape today, once your cultivation is sufficient, all questions will naturally be answered," Qi Ye Demon Ancestor said calmly.
He seemed quite dissatisfied with the events of the past!
After finishing a cigarette, Zhang Xiaohao waved at him, "Make your move!"
"This cigarette is nice; if not for the grand plan of this Demon Ancestor, perhaps I would spare you today! However, in front of the great plan of this Demon Ancestor, no matter who it is, even if that old Spirit King comes, this Demon Ancestor will still wrestle with him!" Qi Ye Demon Ancestor declared boldly.
With a wave of one hand, an endless army of Eating Immortal Demon Ants appeared in pitch-black masses, charging toward Zhang Xiaohao and the others.
"Rest assured, after your deaths, this Demon Ancestor will leave you three intact bodies and erect a tombstone. You won’t die prematurely as a mark of respect from this Demon Ancestor," Qi Ye Demon Ancestor said seriously.
"You’re overthinking it! Though the Eating Immortal Demon Ants are terrifying, I have indeed not given them much thought! Since you want to play, let’s fight!" Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.
With a flip of his hand, he took out a black jade bracelet from the Shennong Ring, a storage pouch with a considerably large space though not any powerful Transcendent Spiritual Treasure or Mystic Sky Treasure.
"Come forth!" Zhang Xiaohao shouted lowly.
As his right hand waved, the ground trembled, and an endless puppet army emerged from the black bracelet onto the ground.
It’s not many, only a million, a result of Zhang Xiaohao’s efforts in refining over the recent days, each puppet possessing Foundation Establishment Peak strength, not very high cultivation.
Then, Zhang Xiaohao waved a hand, countless high-level Spirit Stones turned into rays of glow, successively injected into the bodies of these puppets.
Buzz buzz buzz!!!
As the high-level Spirit Stones entered the puppets’ bodies, the mechanical puppets suddenly came to life, and an enormous pressure burst from within them. Each stepped forward coldly, holding their Magic Artifacts, blades, swords, and more.
"Ha! A million puppet army? All at the Foundation Establishment Realm, not bad indeed! But if you think these puppets alone can withstand this Demon Ancestor’s Eating Immortal Demon Ants, it’s not enough!" Qi Ye Demon Ancestor shook his head lightly.
"It’s indeed not enough! But if I risk self-detonating, this million puppet army can create enough chaos to eliminate your Eating Immortal Demon Ants, unless you can double their numbers," Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.
Clap clap!!
Qi Ye Demon Ancestor softly clapped his hands, and the ground cracked open, revealing more Eating Immortal Demon Ants. In the blink of an eye, their numbers had almost doubled.
"How about now?" Qi Ye Demon Ancestor said playfully.
"Still enough to threaten me, but still not quite!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.
With a point of his finger, another storage pouch flew out from his waist, dozens of black Divine Thunder spheres floated in the air, each being Nine Heavens Demon-Blocking Divine Thunder at the Golden Core Realm level, enough to annihilate Golden Core Realm cultivators.
"There are a hundred thousand Nine Heavens Demon-Blocking Divine Thunders here, would these suffice to counter your Eating Immortal Demon Ants?" Zhang Xiaohao asked back.
"Mutual destruction! But this Demon Ancestor has more than just these means; if you think this Demon Ancestor only possesses these methods, then you’re mistaken," Qi Ye Demon Ancestor shook his head lightly.
With a wave of his right hand, four black shadows flashed beside him, guarding him firmly.
"These are the Shadow Four Guards of this Demon Ancestor, although puppets, each can unleash an Early Mahayana Stage level of strength. Together with this Demon Ancestor’s supreme divine skills, even Late Mahayana Stage cultivators would face defeat!" Qi Ye Demon Ancestor smiled.
His eyes held a hint of teasing as he looked at Zhang Xiaohao, curious to see what other methods Zhang Xiaohao could show.
"Come forth Brother Hei!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled lightly.
Whoosh!
A black figure flashed, appearing by Zhang Xiaohao’s side.
"This one is a direct descendant of the Black Dragon Clan, possessing wind, water, and space laws as Child of Water Element Laws, though only at half-step Mahayana. Paired with this Mystic Sky Treasure and a Fake Xuantian Treasure, even if unable to slaughter your Shadow Demon Guards, defeat is not in sight!" Zhang Xiaohao introduced.
"This Demon Ancestor possesses Reincarnation Law, alongside Three Heads and Six Arms and other Super Divine Power of the Demon Realm, coupled with secret techniques, enough to slay you!" Qi Ye Demon Ancestor stepped forward.
"I possess Time, Space, and Reincarnation three supreme Law Talents. Though I’ve yet to condense Principle Silk, it’s still enough to face you!" Zhang Xiaohao stepped forward as well.
