Chapter 1380 The Demon King's Foundation
Above the sky, the sea of clouds surged, lightning flashed wildly, and the rumbling thunder almost formed a continuous line.
But the next moment, the sea of clouds and thunder was crushed by a hoof that blotted out the sky.
The sea of clouds churned and scattered, and the thunder collapsed and flashed, turning into countless tiny electric snakes that splashed and dissipated.
Its hooves, covered in a layer of dark demonic energy, shattered the dark clouds and extinguished countless thick bolts of lightning. It descended from the sky with unstoppable force, crashing down on the stone pillar with a thunderous roar.
This scene resembled a celestial demon god descending upon the world to punish the human cultivator who had angered the divine might, crushing him to dust.
“Hehehehe——”
The Demon King of the Mountain-Shaking Mountain lowered his eyes and sneered: "Arrogant brat, since you dare to provoke me with your words, then let me see just how capable you really are!"
It had known all along that this kid was up to no good, and that it had only intended to play around, which was why it had spoken so politely.
But now, it's angry. It doesn't want to play anymore. It wants to show this kid the true power of the Demon King, and it also wants to see what makes this kid dare to provoke it like this!
The deafening roar was deafening. Before the earth-shattering hoof had even landed, the stone pillar trembled violently and began to collapse.
And the young swordsman on top of the stone pillar finally made a move.
He leaped into the air, wielding a purple lightning longsword, and slashed across the sky.
Golden energy and blood enhanced the sword's body, and a phantom of a thunder dragon roared out from behind it, scattering countless blue lightning bolts that covered the sword, and even a trace of black divine lightning condensed at the tip of the sword.
With the blessing of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, the power of this sword almost exceeded the limit of the Nascent Soul stage.
The sword shone with a dazzling light, tearing through the protective demonic aura with a whoosh, and struck the demon king's hoof squarely!
boom!
The demon king's indestructible flesh was torn apart by the sword light, which even penetrated deep into the muscles and slashed fiercely at the hard bones.
As the sword light faded, a huge wound appeared on the bottom of the hoof, running horizontally from side to side. A massive amount of blood gushed out of the wound, like a river bursting its banks, instantly flooding a large area of land.
With a deafening roar, the Mountain-Shaking Demon King let out a shrill scream, and its hooves retracted abruptly at an even faster speed than when it came.
dong dong dong-
The enormous demon king staggered backward, his footsteps echoing loudly in the void, shaking the earth.
"Good lad, I underestimated you..."
The Demon King of the Mountain-Shaking Mountain stood in the void, his face filled with rage, his eyes bloodshot, looking as if he wanted to devour people whole.
But upon closer inspection, one can see that its right forelimb is slightly curled up, and blood is still dripping from the tip of its hoof.
Even its hooves were trembling slightly.
"Not bad, you're really good."
"How many years has it been? I've lost count of how many years I haven't been injured. You, a swordsman, are worthy of leaving a mark on my memory."
As it spoke, the white smoke spewing from its eyes gradually turned into a reddish-black color, like the flames erupting from two volcanoes, scorching and surging, threatening to burn the world to ashes.
If he was only somewhat angry before, now the Demon King of Shaking Mountains is truly enraged.
It is bored, it likes to play, but it is not a masochist. Yet now, it has been hurt by a plaything!
Jiang Han looked at the enraged demon king with a calm expression, showing no unusual reaction to the other party's anger.
He didn't come here to play with this demon king.
However, the Demon King truly lived up to his reputation as the Demon King. He had taken that sword strike head-on, but it only injured his flesh and blood. The power of that sword was completely blocked by the opponent's demon bones.
This demon king's physical body is indeed tough enough.
"You don't seem scared?"
The Mountain-Shaking Demon King flicked its forelimbs, using its demonic energy to temporarily repel the lightning at its wound, and sneered:
"Do you think that by wounding my flesh with a single sword, you are qualified to fight me head-on?"
"If it were any other demon king, you might have actually succeeded, but you met me today, so I should say you're just unlucky."
It stood up straight, with black mist swirling around its head, which transformed into a pair of jet-black horns.
The single horn above its head gleamed with black light, looking like a long spear pointing skyward, as if it wanted to pierce the sky and reach into the void.
At the same time, another white shield, as large as a small mountain, appeared. The moment it appeared, it split into dozens of shields, each emitting a beam of white light that connected with each other. Then, it spread out a white barrier that enveloped the demon king's true form.
"I have been trapped here for a long time. Although I cannot use many of my methods, I still have some resources at my disposal. Although I cannot break the shackles of this Immortal Palace, they are more than enough to deal with a junior."
Having said that, it looked up at Jiang Han and sneered, "Boy, you can start running now. If you can escape this desolate wasteland before you die, I will spare your life. How about it?"
Despite having clearly lost the previous exchange, it still spoke with an air of certainty.
Jiang Han was certain that the demon king's confidence undoubtedly came from those two treasures.
The black horn was incredibly sharp. Even from such a distance, Jiang Han could feel a stinging pain between his brows and his heart was pounding faster, as if some great danger was about to befall him.
It is foreseeable that the power of that horn will be earth-shattering, and even with its current physical body, it will be difficult to completely withstand it, and it may even be injured as a result.
And that white shield, the barrier it released was perfectly round, clearly extremely strong in defense, and difficult to damage by ordinary means.
These two treasures were completely different from the magical artifacts he had seen before. Just activating them made him feel alarmed and as if a great danger was about to befall him.
Such a powerful treasure might be two celestial treasures lost in this land of heritage!
"A Celestial Treasure..."
Jiang Han's eyes warmed slightly, but quickly turned serious.
If his guess is correct, these two celestial treasures, one for offense and one for defense, must be extremely powerful. Without a way to counter them, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat this demon king.
"Stop standing there, kid. I'm about to start the countdown. Once I count to ten, I'll attack you with all my might. Run away, kid, or I'll tell you I didn't give you a chance."
The Demon King of the Mountain Shock's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the light gathered on the single horn on its head, the tip of which was pointed at Jiang Han's brow.
Then, it spoke indifferently: "Ten."
Jiang Han saw through the demon king's scheme at a glance. If he could make a move, he would have done so long ago.
But it kept talking to stall for time. Considering that there are always various restrictions when a powerful weapon is used, and the white shield barrier that the other party clearly used to prevent interference.
He was almost certain that the so-called counting to ten before making a move was because the unicorn needed that much time to gather its strength.
Once the lone horn strikes, even if it escapes this desolate wasteland, it probably won't be able to avoid that attack.
As for whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try.
Jiang Han stared into the Demon King's eyes and said, "At this point, why would the Demon King lie and deceive people? Qing Mo has already revealed your background. Your one-horned magic weapon still needs ten breaths to charge up."
The Demon King's pupils contracted, and he abruptly looked down at the Azure Demon Lord, but quickly realized what he was saying and asked in a deep voice, "What are you talking about?"
But Jiang Han had already confirmed from its reaction that the old demon king was lying and stalling for time.
In that case, running away will only lead to death. If you want to survive, you must kill the demon king within ten breaths and seize that one-horned magic weapon!
In ten breaths, it is extremely difficult to kill a demon king.
Moreover, the opponent also possesses a divine treasure for defense, which would likely be difficult to break through even in thirty breaths, let alone ten.
However, nothing is absolute; his attack may not be weaker than that single horn.
