Chapter 339: Chapter 292: Go Ahead and Self-Destruct, I’m Waiting!_1

Self-destruction?

Wushuang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, concern evident in her eyes. The self-destruction of a Divine Monarch in the early stages would undoubtedly mean certain death for all three of them.

She slowly shifted her gaze to Li Cheng, only to see that he did not bother to conceal the disdain in his eyes as he stared at the Withered Bone Demon Monarch.

Glancing at Kong Lianqing, she found him relaxed, clearly not worried about the Withered Bone Demon Clan’s self-destruction at all.

This scene perplexed Wushuang, why wasn’t the self-destruction of a Divine Monarch intimidating?

“Go ahead and self-destruct, I’m waiting!” Li Cheng spoke up, his tone filled with mockery.

The Withered Bone Demon Monarch was at a loss for words—was he, a Divine Monarch, not frightening even when he was threatening self-destruction?

“It’s not that I’m looking down on you, it’s that you really are contemptible. A mighty Divine Monarch, look at what you have done!”

Kong Lianqing nodded in agreement, “You don’t have the courage to self-destruct, let alone the will, just like your avatar.”

With a darkened expression, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s power surged throughout his body, smashing fiercely towards the entrance of Blunt Empty Residence, but the Blunt Empty Residence remained unmoved!

Seeing this, Li Cheng relaxed, gathered his spirit, and focused on controlling the White Tiger Seal and the Azure Dragon Seal to deal with that Divine King Bone avatar.

Although the avatar’s Divine King Bone was invulnerable, the Divine Soul hidden within it had taken repeated serious damage and had become extremely weak with no strength to resist.

After several more blasts, the Divine Soul dissipated, leaving only the Divine King Bone suspended silently in place.

Inside the Blunt Empty Residence, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s face was deathly pale. The loss of two avatars in one day had inflicted severe damage on his Divine Soul.

Having secured the Divine King Bone, Li Cheng turned towards the Blunt Empty Residence, “Your turn now!”

Grinding his teeth, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch said, “All this for a village of less than two hundred?”

“Do you know how many cities are destroyed every day in the Divine Realm, how many continents or life-bearing planets perish in the Lower World each day?”

“Reaching this level of cultivation, whose hands are free of innocent blood? Are you sure you want to make an enemy out of me for such a trivial number of lives?”

Li Cheng looked at the Withered Bone Demon Monarch calmly, “Scared?”

“Hmph! I have roamed the world unchallenged for countless years, when have I ever been afraid? If it comes down to that step, I would not mind perishing together in mutual destruction.”

Li Cheng turned to Wushuang, “Miss Wushuang, will you continue with your mission?”

Wushuang frowned, “But he’s a Demon-suppressing Envoy.”

“Who knows? Anyway, I’ve never seen his Demon Suppression Order,” Kong Lianqing retorted with some contempt in his eyes.

Executing the Withered Bone Demon Monarch was her four-star promotion task. Upon completion, she would become a four-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, entitled to higher benefits and privileges.

Wushuang glanced at Kong Lianqing with a challenging look, “The Withered Bone Demon Monarch indeed is a Demon-suppressing Envoy, but too bad, it’s only found out when collecting the corpse.”

The message was clear: Kill him!

Wushuang looked at the Blunt Empty Residence in Li Cheng’s hands, “His current strength is less than half of his peak, let him out!”

With the enhanced Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array enveloping them, they weren’t worried about him escaping.

With that thought, Li Cheng nodded and released the Withered Bone Demon Monarch.

As soon as he appeared, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch lunged, his hand transforming into a claw aiming viciously for Li Cheng’s chest, its bones flashing with black light, evidently highly poisonous!

But with a change in the Formation, Li Cheng and Wushuang instantly swapped places.

Wushuang threw a punch, and with the power of the Array, easily blasted the Withered Bone Demon Monarch away.

The Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s eyes showed shock. He may have been half as powerful as he was at his peak, but he should not have been so easily repelled!

Regaining his stance, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch stared deathly at Wushuang, “You… Dragon…”

“Die!”

Wushuang abandoned activating the Array and rushed forward with lightning speed. Her dainty figure suddenly appeared above the Withered Bone Demon Monarch, and with a leg whip, she smashed his skull, causing it to fall off!

Without hesitation, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s Divine Soul and Divine Child fled together, merging into one, burning Divine Power as they desperately fled.

Li Cheng frowned; the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s speed was unbelievably fast, far beyond his own ability to pursue.

The Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array required the cooperation of three people to activate it, and even after his enhancements, it remained the same. Unfortunately, Wushuang had given up on controlling the Array, and it had dissipated on its own, leaving no way to stop the Withered Bone Demon Monarch.

Wushuang hadn’t expected the Withered Bone Demon Monarch to flee so decisively. She reached out to grasp at the air, “Heavenly Beast Seal!”

The Withered Bone Demon Monarch, who had already escaped more than ten miles away, paused for a moment at the sound, and in that instant, Wushuang had already caught up, punching towards the Divine Child.

Just as her punch was about to land, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s Divine Child split into two, then four, each fleeing in different directions.

“Damn it!”

Unable to sense which one was real, Wushuang randomly pursued one of them.

“She actually knows the Heavenly Beast Seal? This is impossible!” Kong Lianqing said incredulously as he watched Wushuang disappear into the horizon.

Li Cheng turned to Kong Lianqing, “What do you mean?”

“The Heavenly Beast Seal is the fifth of the Nine Seals of Demon Purging, only comprehendible after the Demon Suppression Bell is struck five times. But in our Demon-suppressing Department, the highest is only four strikes,” explained Kong Lianqing.

“Oh?” Li Cheng was puzzled, as he knew all nine seals, wasn’t it just two strikes?

“I understand now, she’s likely a Demon-suppressing Envoy from another Divine Dynasty, simply cultivating in our Kongqian Heaven Dynasty,” Kong Lianqing added, interrupting Li Cheng’s thoughts.

Li Cheng nodded, that must be the case. The Demon-suppressing Department existed solely to purge demons. Although it was under the control of the Divine Dynasty, it was rarely restricted by territorial boundaries.

If a Divine Dynasty could raise a high-ranking Demon-suppressing Envoy, it would receive generous rewards from a higher Divine Dynasty or even from the founders themselves.

This was one of the reasons why Xiao Changting, the head of the Demon-suppressing Department, dared to address His Majesty directly by name. It wasn’t just because they had a good relationship, but also due to the unique status of the Demon-suppressing Department.
