Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 1160 - 1169: Showdown with the Elephant King
To head to Dan State, one must traverse the Demon Sea Fierce Land that separates the Divine Martial Continent and Dan State. To understand, this place is now completely taken over by the Demon Race.
If it were before, Chu Feng would definitely have struggled to cross it.
Now it's different; he possesses Sword Immortal level power, his combat prowess is explosive, and his speed is astonishingly fast.
Barging through the human cities occupied by the Demon Race, he didn't stop, directly rushing into the dangerous Demon Sea Fierce Land.
According to the intel he obtained from a few Great Demons he subdued, the ruler of this area is one of the Three Great Demon Kings, the Elephant King. This demon is not only extremely powerful but also has the ability to foresee the future.
This means, even before Chu Feng breaks into the Fierce Land, the Elephant King might already foresee it.
Facing such a powerful adversary, Chu Feng doesn't dare to be careless.
This is also why he comes alone, lightly loaded, to rescue his senior brother and sister-in-law.
Along the way, wherever he goes, Chu Feng sees various Little Demons and Fierce Beasts ravaging the Fierce Land. It's completely become their territory.
To know, when Chu Feng fled from Dan State to the Divine Martial Continent back in the day, there were many demon beasts lurking here too, but their numbers were thousands of times fewer.
The reproduction speed of demon beasts is far faster than humans.
Plus, over the years, human strongmen forced them to live in the ocean or remote mountains. In these years, they've been secretly amassing strength, continually growing their tribes.
Now humans are weak; they fully erupt, emerging from the shadows into the open.
Thus, their tribe numbers are astonishing.
Chu Feng didn't pay attention to these Fierce Beasts or Little Demons, nor did he concern himself with the Great Demons. As long as they don't block his path, he won't bother with them.
As for wanting to eliminate these Little Demons, it's actually quite easy.
Just eliminate the Demon King and the top strongmen of the Demon Race, then summon the Great Chu Empire's army to sweep them directly.
All along the way, Chu Feng passes through the most dangerous parts of the Demon Sea Fierce Land without any major danger, finally arriving at Dan State.
Just upon arriving at Dan State and seeing the scene here, his heart was half chilled.
One human city, village after another, wholly fell and became dead land. The cities originally meant for humans to live and work happily turned to ruins, with demon beasts occupying within.
Humans became food for demon beasts.
Groups are caged or kept in other enclosed environments, feeding demon beasts, or being used for amusement.
What is this Dan State anymore? It's practically become hell on earth.
Seeing such a tragic sight, Chu Feng's heart ignites with raging fury.
Dan State belongs to Great Chu's territory, and all the citizens living in Dan State are subjects of the Great Chu Empire. Seeing his subjects being bullied, how could Emperor Chu not be angry?
"Once I save my senior brother and sister-in-law, I'll come to destroy you demons!"
Chu Feng directly traverses from city to city, on his way to the Imperial City where his senior brother is.
The further he progresses, the more chilled his heart becomes.
Because this is already the heartland of Dan State, which has also fallen. It indicates the situation is even worse than he anticipated.
Finally, Chu Feng arrives at the Imperial City.
One can see the Imperial City has expanded many times compared to before, becoming a super large city.
Over the years, the senior brother surely devoted himself to governance and developing livelihood, achieving good results. ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
"Emperor Chu, this Prince has waited for you a long time!"
A mighty, aged voice sounded, like rolling heavenly thunder.
The city gates opened, and from inside, flew out an old figure exceptionally tall. The long nose and fan-like large ears are extremely conspicuous. The old figure is covered in battle armor, holding a giant axe.
He looks extremely intimidating.
Humans couldn't be this gigantic, as the old figure's height exceeds three meters.
Accompanying the old figure, a group of Great Demons flew out, arranging in formation with great might.
"Elephant King, you shouldn't have harmed my senior brother and sister-in-law. The dragon has reversed scales which must not be touched. As an Emperor, I too have taboos that cannot be touched. My senior brother and sister-in-law are like my parents, they are the most important people in this world to me. You harmed them, so you cannot have a path to live any longer."
Seeing the Royal Capital of the Great Chu Dynasty and Dan State being breached, Chu Feng's heart sank into despair.
The senior brother and sister-in-law very likely have met misfortune.
"Although Emperor Chu gained the Qiankun Immortal Emperor's inheritance and has the potential to dominate this realm, with your current power, you definitely can't kill me, this Demon King." The Elephant King sways its long nose, being calm and composed, appearing to have everything within expectation.
Chu Feng doesn't even bother talking nonsense with it, his eyes bloodshot, the entire body igniting faint golden flames of anger. This is an extremely rare God of War Void Flame, appearing only when few Sword Immortal strongmen are angry to the extreme.
Having gained the Qiankun Sword Emperor's inheritance, Chu Feng already possesses the potential to become a super strong figure.
The appearance of the War Deity Void Flame is precisely one of the markers.
"Hold on, even though this Demon King has conquered the Royal Capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, it has not harmed the people within the capital." When the Elephant King saw Chu Feng activating the Dual Swords and about to attack, it hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Really?"
Chu Feng naturally did not believe it.
"Bring out the King of Chu and the Queen!" The Elephant King said 'please,' but in reality, Chu Jianlan and his wife were directly dragged out by two Great Demons.
"Senior brother! Sister-in-law!"
Seeing his senior brother and sister-in-law still alive, Chu Feng couldn't help but call out to them excitedly.
"Third brother!"
"Little uncle!"
Seeing their relative, both the senior brother and sister-in-law were also extremely emotional.
Soon, a resolute expression appeared on their faces.
The bonded couple, deeply in love and of one mind, had already discussed their strategy when they fell into the hands of the demons.
They would never become a bargaining chip for the demons to control Chu Feng.
This was the shared determination of the two.
"Emperor Chu, as long as you agree to one request from this Demon King, I assure you that your brother and sister-in-law will not be harmed. I can even return the humans of the entire Dan State to you."
The Elephant King indeed intended to use Chu Jianlan and his wife as leverage to threaten Chu Feng.
"Speak!"
Chu Feng coldly spat out one word.
"This king seeks not much; in truth, it is merely to procure a refuge for the Demon Race. I hope you can give the entire Dan State and the Demon Sea Fierce Land to us. I promise you, the demon soldiers under my command will never step beyond the red line of the Demon Sea Fierce Land, nor will they disturb the humans."
The Elephant King's plans were far-reaching.
It wanted to secure a long-term habitat for its demon soldiers.
"Third brother, do not concern yourself with your sister-in-law and me. How can we, humans, cede our land to the Demon Race? It would just be a pointless death. Take care of yourself!" A look of determined resignation appeared on Chu Jianlan's face.
He turned to Qiao Yue'er, "Yue'er, I'm sorry, it's my fault!" Chu Jianlan was filled with guilt.
Qiao Yue'er could only shake her head with tears in her eyes, looking at her husband reluctantly.
"Marrying you in this lifetime is my greatest happiness. If there is a next life, I will still be your wife. Husband, farewell forever! Little uncle, take care of yourself, remember to dress warmly, and do not act recklessly in any situation..."
After bidding farewell to her husband, she turned to Chu Feng.
"Third brother, you must take good care of your second sister!" Chu Jianlan gave his final instructions.
Seeing his senior brother and sister-in-law wanting to commit suicide, Chu Feng became anxious.
"Don't, please don't... Senior brother, sister-in-law, you don't need to make such a pointless sacrifice because just with this Elephant King, I have yet to take it seriously. It cannot use you to threaten me."
Chu Feng had numerous treasures and elixirs; how could he be coerced by a mere Demon King?
Seeing that his senior brother and sister-in-law did not believe his words, Chu Feng had to loudly reassure them again, "Even if you want to die, wait until after I've dueled the Elephant King and lost, then it wouldn't be too late to proceed."
With that, Chu Feng stepped forward, directly charging towards the Elephant King.
The Sword Domain unfolded, enveloping the area.
Within his Sword Domain, numerous ghosts manifested.
"Ah... how can your Sword Domain be so powerful?" For the first time, the Elephant King showed an expression of fear and panic.
"In this world, there may be those who can threaten me, but absolutely not you!" Chu Feng's face was cold and stern.
Taking advantage of the Elephant King's panic, without immediately attacking it, he flashed across directly to the side of his senior brother and sister-in-law.
"Now, no one can harm you in the slightest!" Chu Feng was filled with tremendous confidence.
Chu Jianlan and his wife watched in shock at the unbelievably powerful Chu Feng. They couldn't believe this was their third brother.
"Elephant King, considering you have not harmed my brother and sister-in-law, I can give you a way out. Submit to me; it is your only choice." As a generation of Emperor Chu, he would never be coerced by anyone. He would only be the one to threaten others.
"This king was able to foresee everything but still miscalculated in the end. This Demon King is willing to concede and submit. But I beg Emperor Chu, in heaven's name, to grant our Demon Race a chance to survive. If you do not agree, this king would rather break than bend."
The Elephant King stood proudly within the Sword Domain, still possessing the demeanor of a Demon King.
Golden ripples surrounded its body, with a radiation radius of about ten meters.
This was its Demon King's Domain.
