Chapter 773: Demon King Shi Ji’s Power [Battle With Ten Ice Beasts]

[Rainrealm Continent, Aquarius Empire, Superior Domain, Demon City]

"Is it a challenge you seek? If that is your purpose, then come forth!" Shi Ji declared without hesitation, his gaze fixed on her with an unwavering stoicism.

The mere fact that she and her allies could instigate such tension among countless demons was a testament to her strength. He wouldn’t underestimate her. He shared a similar thought process with Bi Xie: her goal must be to rescue the human race. So, she must be punished.

"Why aren’t all of you rushing in to eliminate us?" Shenlian Yingyue finally broke the silence, her voice piercing through the tension as Shi Ji commanded the others to maintain their distance and refrain from meddling in their duel.

"It is not required at this moment. Regardless of any tales you’ve heard about the demon race, I stand before you today to demonstrate the truth," Shi Ji proclaimed as he understood her question, his expression unwavering as he declared with conviction, "Human, I, Demon King Shi, accept your challenge! Now speak your name!"

Shenlian Yinzhu and the others stepped back, allowing her to confront Shi Ji while they remained vigilant, ready to thwart any potential ambush from lurking demons.

"I, as a human, issue my challenge to you, Demon King Shi!" Shenlian Yingyue refrained from revealing her name. Despite herself, she found a certain respect for his forthrightness.

’Truly deserving of the title Demon King, earning respect rather than just fear!’ She finally grasped why the demons held him in such high regard.

While they were wary of the aggression and inhumanity, Bi Xie, the Demon Prince, the respect and admiration they had for Demon King Shi was unmistakable. It was no wonder they were outraged by her challenge against their sovereign.

Shi Ji arched an eyebrow, choosing not to inquire about her failure to introduce herself. A surge of power radiated from him as he extended his hand, a swirling blue ice circle forming around his fingers, exuding an air of mystique and strength. As he gestured towards her, she found herself enveloped in the center of icy blue light.

Rather than inflicting harm, the luminescent blue energy morphed into formidable beast forms. A total of ten majestic creatures emerged, each embodying the essence of destruction. Among them were the Ice Lion, Ice Eagle, Ice Serpent, Ice Rhinoceros, and Ice Peng Bird, among others.

Just a single one of these beasts could wipe out countless Combination Period cultivators. Shi Ji possessed the power to summon even more formidable ice beasts, yet he chose to hold back, unwilling to reveal his full potential at this moment.

His ability was called Glacial Constructs. This unique power allowed him to summon animated forms of ice, beings like soldiers, ferocious beasts, or formidable weapons, to engage in combat on his behalf or protect his territory.

"Demon King Shi, Demon King Shi! Slay this human, slay this human!" The demons howled with fervor and enthusiasm, their anticipation palpable in the air.

Every person trembled at the biting cold. Though the demons were formidable and possessed immense strength, the chill seeped into their very souls, leaving them feeling unnerved. They maintained their distance, yet the power radiating from the icy onslaught still affected them. The chilling thought loomed over them, this human at the heart of this frenzy must surely be doomed.

Shenlian Yingyue clenched her jaw. She was witnessing the raw power of a Demon King, an experience that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Shi Ji stood with an air of indifference, exerting such overwhelming control that he needn’t lift a finger to command this display of might from the ice beasts.

But rather than succumbing to fear, she remained composed, evaluating her options for a counterattack that would leave her unscathed. With ordinary crimson flames, it would be a daunting task to penetrate the Ice Rhinoceros’s formidable armor, prolonging the inevitable conflict. Yet she had something more potent at her disposal, her purple flame!

Her slender figure wrapped in black cloak evaded the assaults with agile and graceful motions, harnessing her fierce crimson flame in conjunction with the violet fire to dissolve the frigid ice hurled at her by the ice beasts. Beyond merely melting the ice, her purple flame effectively consumed the icy armor of the Ice Rhinoceros, diminishing its formidable horn.

The purple flames served to bewilder her foes, unleashing chaotic clouds of smoke and explosive bursts that obscured their sight and hampered their attempts to attack her.

When the Ice Lion unleashed its chilling ice breath, she deftly employed her crimson flames to reflect and redirect the assault back at the creature, while simultaneously summoning her purple flames to craft a smokescreen that shrouded the Ice Lion’s vision, making it challenging for it to target her with its icy blasts.
