Novel Full Chapter 336: Killing All of Them, Hosting A Birthday Banquet
“Since you show no respect for me, the Prefecture Master, then there’s no need for you to exist anymore!”
Meng Lei promptly flipped out. He said, “All of you can go to hell together with your Ice Demon Prefecture Master!”
The dozen or so Great Demon Gods’ expressions darkened upon his statement. Hostility filled their eyes.
“Lord Prefecture Master, don’t go too far. You may be the new Prefecture Master, but don’t think that you can order us around. We, the Great Demon Gods, are not your servants!”
“Lord Prefecture Master, to put it bluntly, you’ll need our help if you wish to stabilize your position as Prefecture Master. Previously, it was also because of this same reason that Lord Cador had always treated us with civility, rather than adopting a haughty attitude like you and shouting at us.”
“We’re also bigwigs in the Ice Demon Prefecture. Without our cooperation, you won’t even be able to get your government ordinances out the door…”
“Are you finished yet?”
Meng Lei gazed at the Great Demon Gods.
Thinking that they had managed to convince Meng Lei, the Great Demon Gods’ tones also mellowed.
They said, “Lord Prefecture Master, Ice Demon City hasn’t ever been the Prefecture Master’s alone. As long as you treat us with civility, we’ll also be willing to revere you as the newly-appointed Prefecture Master. It’s good for you, good for me, and good for all of us.”
“Since this is Lord Prefecture Master’s first time here, perhaps you aren’t familiar with Ice Demon City’s situation yet. We express our understanding toward Lord Prefecture Master’s earlier insolence.”
“Yes, exactly—”
“So, are you finished yet?”
The smile on Meng Lei’s countenance gradually vanished.
At the sight of Meng Lei’s expression, the Great Demon Gods suddenly realized that things didn’t seem to be going the way that they had expected. At once, they barked, “What’s the meaning of this, Lord Prefecture Master?”
“Since you’ve finished, then go to hell!”
The aura around Meng Lei was strong and thriving. He said, “The Ice Demon City that’s free of your presences will only develop even better and even more steadily. Taking control of it will also become easier!”
A Fire Great Demon God, with an awful look on its countenance, asked, “Kid, are you really going to completely fall out with us?”
“Fall out with all of you? Do you even deserve such an honor?” Meng Lei let out a peal of laughter and said, “I’ll be honest with you—from the very moment I came to Ice Demon City, I’ve never intended to let any of you off!”
“Kid, you’re too full of yourself!”
“Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve killed Prefecture Master Cador? I’ll tell you this—you’re imagining things! Thinking of acting presumptuously here? Dream on!”
“You succeeded in killing Prefecture Master Cador only because you had taken advantage of the difficult situation it was in. Had Prefecture Master Cador not been utterly exhausted, how could you possibly have killed it? Ha, do you really think you’re strong enough to be Prefecture Master?”
“You can’t beat someone on their own turf—”
“Die!”
How would Meng Lei possibly waste his breath on them? A pale violet chilly current burst forth from all over him and instantly spread 1,000 miles into the surroundings—he had cast Mysterious Ice of The Depths.
Crack!
The Mysterious Ice of The Depths looked just like featherlight, weightless violet mist. However, it rapidly froze over the moment it made contact with the Great Demon Gods’ bodies. At once, the dozen or so Great Demon Gods sensed their movements slowing down and showing signs of freezing.
“Damn it! Let go!”
Alarmed, the Great Demon Gods completely flared up.
Boom, boom, boom!
Flames rose, demonic aura ran rampant, black winds wreaked havoc, lightning flashed, and thunder boomed… It took only a brief moment for them to shake off the violet chilly currents on them. on
“Kid, you may want to kill us, but are you strong enough to? Everyone, let’s attack together and kill him! Ice Demon City is ours!”
The Great Demon Gods’ cold gazes swept toward Meng Lei—only to discover to their astonishment that densely-packed short black spears had filled the sky around them. They surrounded them from all directions—including above and below them—and sealed off every possible way out.
“Sorry,” A smiling Meng Lei floated in the air a short distance away, “But I made some Netherworld Divine Spears to prevent you guys from escaping while you were shaking off the Mysterious Ice of The Depths.”
“You bastard!”
The Great Demon Gods’ expressions darkened immensely as they gazed at the infinite number of black spears surrounding them. Never had they ever expected that Meng Lei would really try to wipe them all out!
“Kid, do you really think that you can kill this many Great Demon Gods all by yourself?” A Thunder Great Demon God roared furiously.
“How would I know if we don’t give it a shot?”
Meng Lei flicked his fingers and said, “Look out, I’m about to attack now!”
His placid voice was still echoing in the surroundings when he teleported in front of a Thunder Great Demon God. He revealed a smile and declared, “I’ll start with you!”
“So, you want to kill me? Not so easy!”
A huge jolt of alarm went through the Thunder Great Demon God. However, it fully exhibited its demonic nature during this moment of crisis. A dazzling flash of black thunder burst forth from it as it brazenly swung its fist at Meng Lei, its movements savage to the extreme.
“You think too highly of yourself!”
Meng Lei chuckled softly and swung his fist lightly at it.
Boom!
The two fists clashed against each other. As the crisp boom of something breaking rang out, the Thunder Great Demon God’s entire arm exploded, leaving behind only ghastly white bones.
“Ahhh!”
The Thunder Great Demon God let out a shrill scream. It couldn’t help but stare at Meng Lei in disbelief as it exclaimed, “W-why is your demonic body so powerful?”
“Haven’t you heard of the proverb ‘A separation of three days makes one a changed man’?”
Meng Lei shook his head leisurely. Then, he reached out and tapped the Thunder Great Demon God in between its brows.
Crack!
A bloody hole immediately formed in between the Thunder Great Demon God’s brows, and it stiffened all over. Then, the light in its eyes gradually dissipated, and all signs of life disappeared.
Whoosh!
Meng Lei then sent the Thunder Great Demon God’s demonic body into the Tower of Time for the golden little tree’s feeding pleasure. An ordinary Great Demon God’s life essence would be enough for it to grow a small section.
Everything had taken place in a flash from the point where Meng Lei had attacked till the point that the Thunder Great Demon God perished and vanished. This shocked and horrified all the other Great Demon Gods.
Having witnessed Meng Lei and Prefecture Master Cador’s intense battle with their own eyes, they self-professed to have understood how strong Meng Lei was. Apart from his Netherworld Divine Fire, Meng Lei only had an average demonic body that was about the standard of an ordinary Great Demon God.
That was why they didn’t fear Meng Lei and had dared to treat his words as mere hot air.
They had thought that no matter how strong Meng Lei was, he would never be a match for them if they joined hands against him.
However, they felt like they had severely underestimated Meng Lei at this moment. Given his capability of killing a Thunder Great Demon God with just a punch, just how frighteningly powerful must his body be?
He was definitely not just an ordinary Great Demon God!
“He’s at least a mid-level Great Demon God!”
“Damn it! We’ve been had!”
The Great Demon Gods were alarmed, furious, and filled with regrets. Had they known that Meng Lei was this strong, how would they possibly have dared to go against him? Wouldn’t they just be courting death that way?
“So, who’s next?”
Meng Lei turned to the remaining Great Demon Gods. Then, he very quickly locked on to the Fire Great Demon God as a target and said, “You raised the biggest clamor just now, so I’ll make you the second target!”
“No! Don’t!”
Frightened out of its wits, the Fire Great Demon God wanted to beg for mercy. Alas, it was too late.
Boom!
Its head was also pierced through with another tap of Meng Lei’s finger.
“Who’s the third?”
Meng Lei looked at the rest of the Great Demon Gods, frightening them out of their wits. Instantly taking out Great Demon Gods with one tap of his finger each—just how savage was he?
How many taps would they be able to withstand?
“Spare us! Spare us, Lord Prefecture Master! We were wrong. Please, have mercy on us! We were wrong…”
The rest of the Great Demon Gods all dropped onto their knees and kowtowed incessantly as they begged for mercy desperately.
“Begging for mercy on your knees? How can this do?”
Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and said, “Hurry and get up. All of you are lofty Great Demon Gods, y’know. If you kowtow to me and beg for mercy, you might just reduce my lifespan[1]!”
“My lord…”
Meng Lei had never been a softhearted person, so how would he possibly let them off?
Jab! Jab! Jab, jab, jab!
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
The span of a few breaths later, yet another seven to eight Great Demon Gods perished. The last three remaining Great Demon Gods had already fled in fear a long time ago. How would they possibly dare to linger for even a moment longer?
They didn’t even fear the black spears that covered the sky anymore at this point. They lunged straight toward the densely-packed black spears and didn’t stop even when the Netherworld Divine Fire came into contact with their bodies.
“They’re just sending themselves straight to death’s door.”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly. The Grim Reaper’s Eye in between his brows slowly opened, upon which a gray light beam shot out from within and landed on the back of a Great Demon God’s head.
Boom!
The Great Demon God froze on the spot right away. The gray light beam extracted its divine spirit from its sea of consciousness before it was then sucked into the Grim Reaper’s Eye.
Gurgle~
A wave of pure divine spirit power flowed out of the Grim Reaper’s Eye and surged into Meng Lei’s sea of consciousness, rapidly enhancing his divine spirit flame.
“Mmm, this feels great!”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but let out a long breath of air. It felt so great that he almost made a sound of pleasure. The Grim Reaper’s Eye was said to be capable of devouring divine spirits and converting them into pure divine spirit power to enhance one’s body. From the looks of it, it seemed to be indeed true.
Thud!
“Ding! 1 Sloth Great Demon God killed. 4,400,000 Divinity Crystals gained!”
A system notification sounded in a timely manner.
Now that the Sloth Great Demon God’s divine spirit was no longer present to control its body, its demonic body started to go into free-fall mode and plummeted toward the ground.
Meng Lei sent it into the Tower of Time with a casual wave and handed it over to the golden little tree.
“Two left!”
Meng Lei looked at the two last Great Demon Gods. They had already passed through the black spears’ encirclement and fled into the distance. Despite Netherworld Divine Fire blazing away on them, they paid no attention to it and fled desperately for their lives, wishing they had been born with an extra pair of legs.
“What a shame!”
Meng Lei teleported behind one of the Great Demon Gods’ back. His Grim Reaper’s Eye opened once more and harvested its divine spirit, too.
The other Great Demon God was next.
“Ding! 1 Underworld Ghost Great Demon God killed. 3,900,000 Divinity Crystals gained!”
“Ding! 1 Wailing Great Demon God killed. 4,100,000 Divinity Crystals gained!”
“How exciting!”
Dodola flew over. It couldn’t help but rub its palms together and praised Meng Lei. “You wiped out 13 Great Demon Gods in under a minute! You can finally stand on your own now!”
“Haha!”
Meng Lei burst into laughter and sent the last two Great Demon God carcasses into the Tower of Time. Then, he brought out the 11 Great Demon Gods’ demonic cores that he’d killed just now and destroyed their divine spirits.
This was a very simple task for him. He only needed to open the Grim Reaper’s Eye, and he’d be able to extract their divine spirits from the demonic cores. Thereafter, he would need to crush them, kill them, and convert them into the purest of divine spirit power for his own use.
“Ding! 1 Thunder Great Demon God killed. 5,200,000 Divinity Crystals gained!”
“Ding! 1 Fire Great Demon God killed. 5,300,000 Divinity Crystals gained!”
“Ding! 1 Wind Great Demon God killed. 4,800,000 Divinity Crystals gained!”
“Ding…”
After a series of actions, not only did Meng Lei gain approximately 50 million Divinity Crystals, but he had only gained a large amount of pure divine spirit power. His divine spirit received an immense enhancement boost and took a big step toward reaching the mid-level higher deity stage.
“I feel much better now!”
Meng Lei gazed at the sky that had resumed its original peacefulness and said, “Dodola, the Ice Demon Prefecture will be my territory from now on.”
“Congratulations, Prefecture Master Meng Lei!”
Dodola pretended to bow in greeting.
“You may rise, Steward Dodola!”
Meng Lei burst into laughter. Then, his gaze shifted to the whole Ice Demon City, and his voice spread throughout the city like rumbling thunderclaps. He said, “From today onward, I… will be Ice Demon Prefecture’s newly-appointed Prefecture Master! It’ll be my 25th birthday three days later. All demons ranked Great Demon Lord and above are allowed to take part in the celebration!”
The rumbling thunderous sound of his voice spread throughout Ice Demon City, ringing out in every demon’s ears…
