Chapter 427 - 427 426 Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

427: Chapter 426: Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkey 427: Chapter 426: Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkey North Sea Dragon Palace, Sealing Heaven and Trapping Earth, Life and Death Eight Gates, endlessly revolving, no one would escape, no one would enter.

The twelve Demon Kings of Luotian screamed continuously, even the Dragon King of Ying was no exception.

Their bodies were blasted apart, their Primordial Spirits tortured by the Tribulation Immortal Skill, a sight so dreadful that the demons couldn’t bear to look directly at it.

A blood-red sphere buzzed and rotated in Ye Xuan’s palm, its dazzling blood light making the entire North Sea Dragon Palace glow blood-red and magnificent, silencing the Demon Kings present like frost.

“Meet Emperor Dongji.”

Ao Shun, the Dragon King of North Sea, was the first to recover.

He knelt down directly on the ground, bowing deeply to Ye Xuan, a gesture that shook the demons to their senses and made them bow deeply to Ye Xuan en masse.

For a moment, the sounds of mountainous cheers and flattering words echoed throughout the North Sea Dragon Palace, albeit with an extremely eerie atmosphere pervading.

“Big… Big brother?”

Swallowing Heaven Toad spoke in a hoarse and surprised tone, his mouth agape, still in disbelief that Emperor Dongji was actually his own brother.

“Fool, what are you still standing there for?

Hurry and greet your big brother!”

Qingqiu King, extremely clever, swiftly pulled Swallowing Heaven Toad to bow to Ye Xuan, and then she stood quietly at his sides without asking anything.

Qingqiu King was very intelligent.

Whether her big brother was Kong Li or Emperor Dongji didn’t matter, because they had never betrayed Ye Xuan from the beginning.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, appreciating Qingqiu King’s understanding greatly.

He liked dealing with smart people, and Qingqiu King was definitely one of them.

“Big… Big brother… little… little brother knows his mistake…”

Suddenly, Candle Dragon King approached Ye Xuan with a pale face, stumbling towards him, and abruptly kneeling at his feet, continuously bowing to Ye Xuan and tearfully pleading.

Looking at the Candle Dragon King begging pitifully at his feet, Ye Xuan remained calm and said, “No matter what, you and I are brothers.

Young brother, what are you doing?”

While saying these words, Ye Xuan personally helped the Candle Dragon King up and tenderly brushed the dust off him, seemingly unconcerned by Candle Dragon King’s earlier betrayal.

Such gestures made Candle Dragon King turn ashen.

How could he not know of Ye Xuan’s unpredictable nature?

Candle Dragon King had heard of Emperor Dongji’s notoriety and had seen Ye Xuan’s ruthless methods.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s kindness and gentleness only made him fear that maybe in the next moment, Ye Xuan would take his life.

Candle Dragon King’s body trembled, looking at Ye Xuan with utter horror, but when he saw Qingqiu King, a flicker of hope emerged in his eyes.

“Little sister, I was wrong, I really was.

Please, help me plead with big brother, please!” Candle Dragon King cried and begged Qingqiu King.

Facing Candle Dragon King’s plea for help, Qingqiu King couldn’t bear it.

After all, she had known Candle Dragon King for tens of thousands of years and often interacted with him.

It was hard for her to watch him die miserably like this.

“Big brother, Candle Dragon King was just confused for a moment, please give him a chance to make amends,” Qingqiu King curtsied to Ye Xuan, hoping he would show mercy and spare Candle Dragon King’s life.

“My dear sister, what are you doing?

When did I say I wanted to kill my own brother?” Ye Xuan spoke seriously, causing Qingqiu King to startle.

She had thought Ye Xuan would be furious, but the outcome was quite the opposite.

“Big brother, you…?” Qingqiu King bit her lip.

“Thank you, big brother, for sparing my life,” the Candle Dragon King kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he continuously bowed to Ye Xuan, obviously thrilled to have escaped death.

“You know, I consider my brothers as my own limbs.

Even if you did something wrong, how could I, as your big brother, bear to kill you?” Ye Xuan sighed deeply, then patted the Candle Dragon King’s shoulder, his voice sincere.

“Big brother, I realize my mistake.

Today was just a moment of confusion, my mind clouded by grease.

From now on, I will follow big brother and dare not betray you again,” the Candle Dragon King expressed hurriedly, drenched in cold sweat, eager to show his loyalty.

“Alright, we are all brothers here.

I won’t blame you,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

“Big brother, your brother…”

Puchi!

Suddenly, before the Candle Dragon King could finish, a terrifying claw pierced through the Candle Dragon King’s heart, instantly crushing the demon heart in his chest.

“Ah!”

With the demon heart shattered and blood spraying, the Candle Dragon King screamed miserably.

As this scene unfolded, the gathered demons watched in horror, the Qingqiu King was stunned, her body shivering slightly.

“You deserve to die for betraying your big brother.”

Suddenly, a ferocious voice was heard.

The Swallowing Heaven Toad slowly withdrew its claw from the Candle Dragon King’s heart.

Its terrifyingly huge mouth split open, and as Ye Xuan watched with a smile, the Swallowing Heaven Toad swallowed the Candle Dragon King in one gulp.

Crunch…

Crunch…

Crunch.

With powerful jaws continuously chewing, copious amounts of demon blood spilled from the Swallowing Heaven Toad’s mouth until the Candle Dragon King’s screams ceased.

As the bulge in the Swallowing Heaven Toad’s throat moved downward, it swallowed the Candle Dragon King whole.

“Little brother, what are you doing?

We’re all brothers here, how can you be so cruel?” Ye Xuan reproached lightly.

As Ye Xuan’s words fell, the Swallowing Heaven Toad grinned, bowed to Ye Xuan, and said, “Big brother is kind-hearted and naturally reluctant to punish his own brothers, but the Candle Dragon King’s betrayal is a crime that must be punished.

It was just a moment of impulsive action that I killed him, please forgive me, big brother.”

Ye Xuan sighed deeply and said, “Just this once, don’t let it happen again.”

“Yes, big brother.”

The Swallowing Heaven Toad nodded quickly in agreement, though a hint of terror flashed in its eyes.

The Swallowing Heaven Toad was not foolish; it was quite observant.

It had been watching Ye Xuan’s expressions since the Candle Dragon King began pleading.

Although Ye Xuan seemed to be smiling, there was a cold harshness in his eyes.

The Swallowing Heaven Toad would never believe that Ye Xuan would let the Candle Dragon King go, and when Ye Xuan casually glanced at him, the Swallowing Heaven Toad understood Ye Xuan’s intent.

His big brother clearly disdained to act himself; his gaze indicated that he wanted him to personally execute the Candle Dragon King.

The Swallowing Heaven Toad had no feelings for the Candle Dragon King, and comprehending Ye Xuan’s intent, it burst forth and killed him, expressing loyalty to Ye Xuan in its own way.

However, Ye Xuan’s unpredictable and venomous nature was once more deeply imprinted in the Swallowing Heaven Toad’s eyes, instilling in it an extreme wariness and a fear to even think about betrayal.

To kill the chicken to warn the monkeys—this was Ye Xuan’s method.

Not only the Swallowing Heaven Toad but also the Qingqiu King instantly understood, her beautiful face turned deathly pale as she grasped Ye Xuan’s intentions.
