Chapter 535: The Demon Emperor's Token!
"Hai Yunji, it seems you won't accept the easy way!"
Hearing the response from the Lin Demon Clan's chief, Niu Bi's bull eyes widened in rage as he roared, "That Long Fei broke my son's horn. I must make him pay with blood! Anyone who tries to stop me will face my wrath!"
"How dare you!?"
Hai Yunji's fishtail swayed behind her, unleashing a terrifying aura. "Chief Niu Bi, in terms of strength, I may not be able to defeat you, but what about the chief of the Golden Lion Clan?
"And the chiefs of the Bloodthirsty Silver Wolf and the Windbreaking Thunder Leopard Clans? Do you dare to test their patience?" Hai Yunji threatened coldly.
"A bunch of sluts. Do you really think that just because you’ve hooked up with those high-ranking clans, I'm afraid?"
Niu Bi swung his saber, and a bump suddenly appeared on his forehead, growing higher until it broke through his skin to reveal a sharp horn.
"This is...!" Hai Yunji's face paled as she gasped. "T-The third horn? Are you about to reach the demon emperor realm?"
Even in the vast Heavenly Demon City, the number of demon emperors was not very high.
Under the Big Three Demon Rulers and Big Nine Demon Emperors, there might be other demon emperors, but certainly no more than twenty.
And this Minotaur chief was about to become one of them!
A half-step demon emperor and a full demon emperor, although only half a step apart, were worlds apart in strength and status.
"Whoever stands in my way shall die!"
Niu Bi roared angrily. His bloodline was not that of an ordinary ox but of the Rampant Bull. Though this royal beast bloodline had become quite thin by his generation, his strength was still formidable.
If he continued to grow stronger, there might be a place for him among the Big Nine Demon Emperors in the future.
"You!"
Hai Yunji's beautiful eyes flashed as she bit her lip, glancing toward Ling Feng and Hai Lingxiang while sighing lightly.
The meaning was clear: a half-step demon emperor could be offended, but not someone on the verge of becoming a demon emperor.
"I'll take responsibility for my own actions!"
Ling Feng suddenly leaped into the air, rising high, and stared at the three-meter-tall Minotaur. "I am Long Fei. This has nothing to do with the Lin Demon Clan!"
"Impressive!"
Niu Bi's gaze fixed on Ling Feng, and after a moment, he sneered. "I wondered what royal beast bloodline you had. It turns out you're from the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan!"
"I... was blind! I offended the envoy; please forgive me!"
Niu Bi's voice was practically squeezed out between his teeth. Though he wished he could tear off Ling Feng's head, he dared not defy the demon emperor's authority.
Even if he was about to ascend to the demon emperor's rank, he would still be an early-tier demon emperor, whereas Qiongqi had reached unparalleled heights within the demon emperor realm.
There were even rumors that Qiongqi was the most likely among the Big Nine Demon Emperors to ascend to the rank of demon ruler.
Ling Feng snorted softly, knowing he couldn't truly punish the old bull. "I am always magnanimous. This minor incident can be written off."
Niu Bi clenched his fists while gritting his teeth. "If there's nothing else, we will take our leave!"
He turned to leave immediately.
"Wait." Ling Feng surprisingly didn't let it go and instead raised his voice. "Chief Niu Bi, while you and I can consider our matter settled, you have caused significant damage to the Lin Demon Clan's property. By all rights, you should offer compensation."
Niu Bi took a deep breath, restraining the urge to break Ling Feng's neck. He glared at Ling Feng coldly and said, "Tomorrow, I will send someone with the compensation, ensuring the Lin Demon Clan's chief is satisfied!"
With that, Niu Bi gripped his Singularity Sword and asked through gritted teeth, "Is there anything else?"
"Nothing more."
Ling Feng shrugged. Getting compensation from Niu Bi was no small feat, especially since he was relying solely on the demon emperor's token and couldn't be too overbearing.
However, if the despicable donkey succeeded in ascending to the demon emperor rank and awoke, the situation would be different.
Given his temperament, he would surely decapitate this bull and use his head as a chamber pot!
That despicable donkey’s methods were always more ruthless than Ling Feng's. He was never a benevolent character!
Suppressing his rage, Niu Bi returned to the Minotaur camp while gritting his teeth. "Let's go!"
The big six demon king elders sighed lightly. In the face of the demon emperor's token, the Minotaur Clan could only swallow their grievances.
"Father, are you really going to let this go?" Kuang Niu asked furiously. "Is that boy just going to get away with breaking my horn?"
Slap!
Niu Bi responded with a resounding slap, glaring angrily at Kuang Niu. "You better behave!"
Seeing his father's icy gaze, Kuang Niu was so frightened that he didn't dare utter a word, instead shrinking back and following Niu Bi.
However, he glanced coldly at Ling Feng in the air, silently vowing. Long Fei! This isn't over!
