684 A Breakthrough in Battle, This Is a Game (1)
Using the excuse of setting up the venue for the competition, Zhou Shu wandered around the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court was a grotto-heaven that was much larger than the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven.
This was also the second complete grotto-heaven Zhou Shu had seen.
If one didn’t know that this was a grotto-heaven, it would feel no different from being outside.
It was the same sky, the same climate.
When he looked up, he could even see the same sun.
Zhou Shu was temporarily unclear about the mystery behind this.
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court was extremely large. In fact, it was about one-third the size of Great Xia.
The mountains and rivers rose and fell, and the trees were lush. He could even see rivers flowing.
Just from the natural scenery, this place was extremely beautiful.
Zhou Shu walked all around. He could clearly sense danger in many of the places here.
The feeling of danger was very strong. Thinking back to what he learned when he entered the Demon King Ao dream, he didn’t act rashly.
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court was not a safe place.
Because there were many Demon Kings following him, Zhou Shu only took a cursory look and roughly understood the terrain of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
“Let’s do it here.”
In the end, the Demon Kings discussed and chose an area with a 50-kilometer radius.
“There are still many dangerous places in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. It’s not appropriate to let them wander around. An area with a fifty-kilometer-radius is enough for them,” Tiangou said.
He Yuan nodded. “We’ll guard the four directions in case any demonic beasts kill others deliberately.”
“Most importantly, don’t let them run around. If they anger the Demon Ancestor, even we won’t be able to bear the consequences,” a Demon King said.
There were many places in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court that even Demon Kings couldn’t approach. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to choose the place.
After confirming the location and procedures, the Demon Kings brought Yao Buqi, Yao Qing, and the other candidates to this place.
“Before the battle ends, those who step out of the range will automatically admit defeat. No one else is allowed to continue attacking,” Zhou Shu said. “If you don’t want to die, then leave the arena yourself.
“The competition begins. You can attack any demonic beast or form an alliance if any demonic beast is willing.
“But you can’t rely on external forces. If anyone has a divine ability sealed by their elders, don’t use it, or they will be eliminated.
“If you have any other questions, ask them now. Once the competition begins, unless you admit defeat, the battle will not be interrupted until the winner is chosen.”
His gaze swept across the demonic beasts.
Doubt flashed across Yao Buqi’s eyes. Am I wrong?
Is Demon King Ao real? Is he not King Zhou in disguise?
If he is King Zhou, does he really want me to fight when the competition begins?
The problem is that I can’t even defeat Yao Qing, let alone Yao Wudi. How can I fight him?
“If there are no questions, I’ll give you fifteen minutes to prepare. Then the competition will officially begin!” Zhou Shu said.
He nodded at Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others. The Demon Kings nodded. Then they flew up and landed in various places within the area with a radius of 50 kilometers.
Each of the ten Demon Kings would guard a place. The goal was to ensure that the demonic beasts participating in the selection didn’t cheat and to control the casualties.
As for the captured Hu Li, after discussing, they finally decided that after the Holy Son of the Demon Realm was selected, the Holy Son would personally send Hu Li on his way.
This was also an opportunity for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm to establish his authority.
Killing a Demon King was something that even most Demon Kings had never done.
‘Demon King Hu Li’, who was actually Demon King Ao, was thrown aside alone.
Even without anyone watching over him, he couldn’t move. The Dragon Binding Technique, which didn’t seem very powerful, was too targeted. Even Demon King Ao, the number one Demon King of the Demon Realm, could only watch helplessly like a wooden stake.
He cursed Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings in his head. These bastards are usually so arrogant. Now, they are being played by a human. Are they all blind?
I’m the real Demon King Ao!
That bastard is fake! Fake!
Seeing Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings flying away, Zhou Shu raised his hand and used another Dragon Binding Technique on Demon King Ao.
Demon King Ao was completely in despair.
He could no longer see any chance of escape. The feeling of waiting for death was too painful.
He felt his head swell at the thought, but he couldn’t figure out how to get away.
All the demonic beasts were rubbing their fists in preparation. Yao Buqi had mixed feelings. He wasn’t in the mood to prepare. It was impossible for him to win alone. What was the point of preparing?
He stole a glance at Demon King Ao, feeling increasingly uncertain.
Originally, he was very sure that Demon King Ao was fake and Zhou Shu in disguise.
But now, he was more and more unsure of his guess. If Demon King Ao is really King Zhou in disguise, shouldn’t he give me a hint now?
What should I do next?
Do you really want me to compete?
I, Yao Buqi, rely on my brain to make a living. I’m not like those demonic beasts who only have brute force.
To put it bluntly, I can’t beat them.
