Chapter 2854: Chapter 2874: Dying Like This Is Letting You Off Easy!

Lin Chen quickly retreated while simultaneously spotting the mysterious figure that suddenly appeared in midair.

Familiar black robes, familiar hood!

Lin Chen’s pupils contracted, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This guy was actually the demon race Quasi-Saint he had encountered twice before!

When he had previously met the Thousand Demon Monarch, he had found an excuse to relay a message from Wen Mengsheng, warning the Thousand Demon Monarch to be cautious of the demon race. It was something he had made up, but he hadn’t expected it to actually become reality!

Had he jinxed it?

Did his words really come true just like that?

The black-robed person grabbed the Demon God Banner and did not stay, turning back to glance in Lin Chen’s direction before disappearing from the spot like a phantom.

A sense of foreboding surged in Lin Chen’s heart.

The next second, the black-robed person appeared right beside Lin Chen, his voice cold as a sharp blade, piercing into Lin Chen’s ears.

"Kid who sabotages my grand plan, die!"

Lin Chen turned around, only to see the black-robed figure pointing toward him. The overwhelming and invisible pressure instantly enveloped Lin Chen. Lin Chen didn’t even have time to react before his body exploded into a cloud of blood fog.

The black-robed figure killed Lin Chen in an instant and snorted coldly, "Dying so cleanly and swiftly is too good for you!"

The Thousand Demon Monarch’s gaze followed the black-robed figure and just happened to see him kill Lin Chen with a flick of his finger, causing him to pause for a moment.

Lin Chen was clearly gone; how did he come back?

Just to die in such an unclear and senseless way?

Thinking that Lin Chen had previously come to warn him to beware of the demon race, only to die at the hands of the demon race now, a towering rage surged within the Thousand Demon Monarch.

"Jiang Wanli, you collude with the demon race, deserving death a thousand times over. Aren’t you afraid of your Spring God Palace being annihilated?"

Jiang Wanli laughed heartily, "As long as I can obtain what I desire, it doesn’t matter if the Spring God Palace is gone; I simply do not care!"

The Thousand Demon Monarch’s eyes turned blood red, "The demon race is a mortal enemy for life and death in the Immortal Realm. Colluding with demons is a capital offense, and there will be no place for you in all the Immortal Realm. What could possibly drive you to such madness?"

Jiang Wanli grinned, "Fellow cultivator Yu, how many years have we been stuck in the Quasi-Saint Realm? Don’t you ever wish to touch the gates of the Saint Realm?"

The Saint Realm?

The Thousand Demon Monarch paused for a moment, then sneered coldly, "If the demon race truly had a way to allow one to enter the Saint Realm, wouldn’t they have countless saints? Why send a Quasi-Saint as the vanguard? Why not send a saint directly? You believe such talk? How foolish must you be?"

Jiang Wanli chuckled mischievously, "You are smart, but I am not a fool either. If it weren’t truly possible, why would I agree?"

The Thousand Demon Monarch’s brows furrowed tightly, slightly puzzled for a moment. Jiang Wanli was no fool, indeed not someone easily tricked by empty promises. Could it be that the demon race actually had a way to help one reach the Saint Realm?

In the short course of the conversation, the black-robed figure had once again arrived in front of the Thousand Demon Monarch. With a wave of his hand, a small Magical Treasure flew back into his palm. He then stored it in his sleeve, and suddenly a gale rose from the ground, instantly sweeping away the aromatic fragrance that filled the sky.

The Demonic Beast Army, originally engaged in chaotic battle, instantly became somewhat more lucid, halting their fighting and fleeing toward the distance.

The black-robed person coldly stated, "Whoever flees will have their True Soul annihilated!"

As soon as the black-robed person spoke, all the demonic beasts immediately halted their footsteps, watching from a distance.

The Great Demons, seeing the Demon God Banner fall into the hands of the black-robed person, knew their lives were now controlled by him, and naturally did not dare to flee.

Even though they knew the black-robed person might not be able to use the Demon God Banner just yet, as long as it remained in his hands, he would eventually break the prohibitions within it and take control of the Demon God Banner. By then, any Great Demon that had escaped would be annihilated.

They wanted to run but dared not.

The Thousand Demon Monarch watched this scene, grinding his teeth in frustration, yet powerless.

Clearly, the adversary had planned to snatch his Demon God Banner to control these Great Demons, effectively controlling an entire army!

"Even if you’ve taken my Demon God Banner, you can’t use it to command my Monster Beast Army!"

The black-robed person said coldly, "That’s for me to worry about. Since I’ve come, I naturally have a way to break the prohibitions. Although it might take some time, as long as the Demon God Banner is in my hands, they will have to listen to me, unless they wish to die."

The face of the Thousand Demon Monarch turned ashen, for he knew the other spoke the truth.

Unless he could retrieve the Demon God Banner, these beasts would obey the black-robed person, even to the extent of surrounding and killing him on command.

The black-robed person snorted coldly, "Surround the area. If he escapes, I’ll kill you all!"

All the demonic beasts sprang into action, instantly forming a tight encirclement as impenetrable as a barrel.

The Thousand Demon Monarch said coldly, "Thinking of killing me?"

The black-robed person nodded, "Although I also have a way to unravel the prohibitions of the Demon God Banner, the quickest method is naturally for you to unlock it yourself. Therefore, capturing you is the best solution. Besides, if you were to escape, the news would leak, eventually causing trouble, so you cannot leave today."

"With over a thousand Great Demons and two Quasi-Saints, attacking you who has lost the Demon God Banner, I think there should be no doubt about the outcome."

The Thousand Demon Monarch clenched his teeth, "Come on, give it a try!"

The black-robed person produced a black Bone Spur, sneering, "Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. If you submit to me now and become a member of my demon race, once we’ve established the Teleportation Formation and summoned our demon army, you will have contributed greatly. I might even offer you a chance to touch the gateway to the Saint Realm. Naturally, whether you succeed will depend on yourself."

"If you refuse to submit now, then I have no choice but to kill you and completely destroy your soul, since only the dead can truly keep secrets!"

"I spit on that!"

The Thousand Demon Monarch spat fiercely, "I’m not like Jiang Wanli, that useless man who only knows how to exert himself on women. My backbone isn’t as soft as his; I can’t kneel. If I’m to die today, then it’s my fate, but if not, I’ll fight you to death!"

The black-robed person snorted, "Stubborn fool, since you don’t appreciate the opportunity given, then go to your death, attack!"

As the black-robed person issued the command, Jiang Wanli, who was ready for action, once again spurred the Bronze Ding to attack the Thousand Demon Monarch.

"Yu, you promised my apprentice that you would intervene for him. We shall settle this matter once and for all today!"

The Thousand Demon Monarch cursed, "Sleeping with your disciple’s woman, you scum, if I die today, I’m taking you with me!"

Amidst the yelling, the black Bone Spurs, in coordination with the Bronze Ding, assaulted the Thousand Demon Monarch.

Though the Thousand Demon Monarch was a Quasi-Saint, without his Life-Bound Magical Treasures, his combat power was significantly reduced, while the strength of the black-robed person was terrifying. The Bone Spurs seemed to be made from the bones of a ferocious beast, and as they flew through the air, the entire space trembled slightly, as if some beast was about to awaken and burst forth at any moment.
