"The rules of this round allow the Daemon Generals and their helpers to overlap!"
After saying this, the golden-armored man did not wait for the surrounding spectators to start discussing again. He pointed his right hand at one of the Demon Generals and shouted, "Demon General Yu Sen, step forward!"
A person walked out from the Daemon Generals. His gaze was cold, and his armor produced a crisp sound as he walked. With a single step, he arrived before the Daemon Drum.
He stared at the Daemon Drum, and his eyes suddenly lit up, igniting the intense battle intent in his heart!
He didn't act immediately, instead, he quietly stood under the drum, circulating the demonic energy in his body, adjusting his internal energy to reach the optimal state. Yu Sen didn't have any confidence in beating this drum. After all, this drum was a holy object to him.
The golden-armored man glanced at Yu Sen and thought, "With Yu Sen's cultivation, he can strike it four times!
If he forcefully strikes it a fifth time, his vitality will definitely collapse! "He only took a glance before closing his eyes.
Everyone's gazes gathered on Yu Sen at that moment. Yu Sen's expression remained the same as he adjusted his breathing the entire time. In order to prevent the outside world from disturbing him, he closed his eyes and ignored everything that was happening around him.
Gradually, a thick Daemon Qi began to radiate from his body. The Daemon Qi rose into the air, and clouds constantly surged within it.
The spectator stands on the surrounding Duga were filled with murmurs of discussion, one after another.
"The Dao of Slaughter is extremely difficult to cultivate. Yu Sen has cultivated it for many years, so he'll probably shock the world with his first match!"
"Otherwise, the Daemon Drum is refined from the skin of a lucky Daemon. Even if Yu Sen strikes it for a while, he'll definitely be injured by the rebound."
The eight Daemon Commanders on the viewing platforms also looked at Yu Sen with interest. However, they did not discuss with each other like normal people. Instead, they could guess what was going on with a single glance.
Although the six Vice Commander-in-Chief didn't have the Commander-in-Chief's insight, their cultivation levels were high, so they were able to guess what was going on. Only the Xuan Vice Commander-in-Chief wasn't looking at Yu Sen but at Wang Lin.
"Wang Lin, I wonder how many times you can strike it!"
As he was pondering, Deputy Commander Huang beside him chuckled and said, "Xuan Deputy Commander, I'm afraid the Old Man is going to win our bet. The cultivator you chose can only go up himself. In that case, he will definitely lose!"
The Xuan Vice Commander snorted coldly. "Just wait and see. This person is definitely not as simple as you think!"
As the two of them conversed, Yu Sen's eyes suddenly went wide. It was as if he had been possessed by a god of war. His eyes shone with a brilliant light, like that of a bright moon!
A low roar, like that of a tiger or a dragon, came from Yu Sen's mouth. Both of his feet stepped on the ground, and his entire body was like an unsheathed sword, drawing a short arc in midair, blindly charging towards the demon drum.
As he hovered in mid-air, two of his fingers formed a sword, and in that instant, his entire person was completely focused on his two fingers, which then shot out madly toward the Demon Drum.
The pitch-black surface of the Demon Drum was slightly concave, but the extent was very small.
The moment it caved in, it quickly bounced back.
"Dong!" The deep sound of the drum echoed through the sky, spread across the square, and spread throughout the entire Yan Jing, affecting a small portion of Sky Demon City.
The moment the drum rang out, Yu Sen immediately felt an unimaginable power surge out from the Demon Drum, rushing through his body like a hot knife through butter.
Yu Sen's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Not only did he not retreat, but he also took a step forward. His two fingers didn't hesitate to point at the Demon Drum again!
"D Dong!"
The sound of the drum was like a thunderclap.
As Yu Sen roared, the demonic energy around his body suddenly turned into many demonic faces. These faces all revealed painful expressions, and they immediately disappeared after appearing within the demonic energy.
The cycle repeated. Every time a face disappeared, a new face immediately appeared.
"Soul Devouring Slaughter, first move!"
Yu Sen's voice sounded like it came from hell. The moment his voice fell, the endless painful faces seemed to have found an exit from a difficult situation, and they crazily rushed toward Yu Sen's right hand.
His entire right hand suddenly flashed with a dazzling blue light!
Yu Sen shouted. His right hand formed a palm and he slammed it toward the Demon Drum.
Before his palm even touched the Demon Drum, the wind from his palm blew out like crazy and hit the Demon Drum.
"Dong!" The third sound echoed between heaven and earth. At this moment, everyone's expressions changed. Using the wind from his palm to hit the Demon Drum, although it was a trick, it couldn't be denied that the Soul Devouring Slaughter was powerful!
The wind from his palm swept by and Yu Sen's right hand pressed on the Demon Drum.
"Dong!" The moment the third sound echoed, the fourth sound quickly followed. The two drum sounds almost merged into one and turned into rolling thunder.
Yu Sen quickly retracted his right hand and quickly retreated. He only managed to stabilize himself after retreating more than a hundred meters. He took a deep breath and his face turned bewitchingly red. He forcefully suppressed the blood in his mouth.
His right hand was trembling slightly and he had already lost his senses. He had used up 80% of the demonic energy in his body to fuse with the first move of the Soul Devouring Slaughter.
"Fourth!
Demon General Yu Sen's helpers, step forward! "The golden-armored man said calmly.
Yu Sen took a deep breath and said, in a serious tone, "I don't have any helpers!"
The golden-armored man looked at Yu Sen before moving his gaze toward the group of demon generals to choose the next person. He first looked at Wang Lin and sneered in his heart. However, he didn't let Wang Lin step forward. Instead, he pointed at Mo Fei and shouted, "Demon General Mo Fei, step forward!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the chatter in the surroundings instantly died down. Everyone's gazes were locked onto a single person.
This person was wearing armor and had a ferocious mask on his face. His black hair flowed in the wind as he walked out from the crowd. His pace wasn't fast, but in the eyes of the spectators, it was as if his pace was at the same rate as their heartbeats. It gave them a very strange feeling.
"Demon General Mo Fei, the number one demon general 300 years ago!"
"This person is stationed at the border all year round. Rumor has it that in the eyes of the people of the Fire Demon Country, Mo Fei's head is very valuable!"
"This Mo Fei's cultivation method is very mysterious. Even now, he has only used the Yin Yang Rotation spell. I'm sure he can hit the Demon Drum at least five times!"
"Mo Fei!"
The Earth Commander-in-Chief carefully looked at Mo Fei. He revealed a smile and said, "If this child can experience the Dragon Lake again, he can be considered one of the top three vice commander-in-chiefs!"
Beside him sat a middle-aged man in purple. He looked very elegant and smiled. "Could it be that the Earth Commander-in-Chief's love for talent has been aroused?"
The Earth Commander-in-Chief laughed and nodded.
The Earth Commander-in-Chief smiled and said, "If this child can hit six times, then even if he doesn't become a vice commander-in-chief, I'll still recommend him!"
Mo Fei calmly walked towards the demon drum. The gazes of the people in the surroundings followed after him.
When he was 100 feet away from the Demon Drum, Mo Fei stopped and looked at the Demon Drum with a calm expression. He didn't waste time adjusting himself and threw a punch at the void.
Dong! The sound of the drum echoed. It was deep and muffled like thunder.
The armor on Mo Fei's body seemed to be blown by a gale as it emitted intense cracking sounds. His hair also fluttered in the wind. However, Mo Fei's body seemed to be nailed to the ground. He didn't move at all. Even his expression didn't change at all.
"So it wasn't that difficult." This person chuckled. He took a step forward and waved his right hand.
Dong!
Mo Fei didn't stop. He took another step forward, formed a fist, and punched the air.
Dong!
The drum beat three times in a row. It was like a roar from ancient times that echoed through the sky above Sky Demon City. Some of the spectators didn't have enough demonic energy, so they suffered internal injuries from the impact.
After the third sound, Mo Fei's body trembled. He could feel a torrential aura gushing out from the demonic qi towards him. With a stomp of his foot, his entire body seemed to have grown from the ground, like a boulder in the midst of the waves, unmoving.
The armor on his body shook violently, but in the end, it was stabilized by this person's demonic energy!
Behind the mask, Mo Fei's eyes glowed as he revealed a serious expression. He muttered to himself, "Interesting!" He took a step forward and swung his right fist at the same time.
Dong!
After throwing out a punch, he didn't stop and threw out another punch!
Dong!
Mo Fei continued to walk forward and quickly closed the distance between him and the Demon Drum. Every time he took a step forward, he would throw out a punch.
When the sixth beat was heard, the surrounding people began to cheer loudly. Even the Demon Commanders, aside from the Heaven Commanders, had looks of admiration in their eyes.
"Mo Fei!"
"Mo Fei!"
"Mo Fei!" Cheers echoed from the spectator stands. Those who could beat the drum six times were all geniuses!
Especially since this person wasn't injured and had calmly beaten the drum six times. This alone far surpassed all the other Demon Commanders!
Even the golden-armored man nodded his head. His eyes were filled with admiration.
"Six beats is enough to stop me …" Mo Fei's eyes lit up. He jumped into the air and threw out a punch at the Demon Drum.
Dong! The seventh beat echoed.
This seventh voice was completely different from the previous six voices. There was a hint of killing intent in it. Mo Fei's usually calm expression suddenly changed at this moment. Without any hesitation, he immediately retreated.
As he retreated, the armor on his body shattered into dust with popping sounds. Mo Fei's face was slightly pale. He stopped moving, let out a roar, and charged out once more. This time, his hands formed a seal and rays of white light danced in his hands. They turned into mirror-like crystals that circled around him.
He flicked his finger and another "dong" sound came from the Demon Drum. This was the eighth beat!
The rebound force was even more violent than before. All the crystals in front of Mo Fei were instantly destroyed by this impact, but it also weakened the impact force by more than half. Even so, when it landed on Mo Fei's body, it still caused his body to tremble, and he only stopped after being pushed back a hundred meters.
The mask on his face was completely shattered, revealing his handsome face.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed as he stared at Mo Fei's face. His eyes revealed a strange light.
"His appearance …"
Wang Lin immediately recognized that this person's appearance was exactly the same as the black-haired man from the Hong Lao region!
At this moment, Mo Fei's body trembled and he forcefully swallowed the blood that was coming out of his mouth. He took a deep breath and walked toward the crowd of demon generals.
At this moment, the entire square was filled with loud cheers. The cheers were so loud that they covered everything.
"Could he be the number one demon general!?"
"He was able to ring the drum eight times. Aside from the commander-in-chiefs, Mo Fei is the number one!"
"This time Mo Fei will definitely become the vice commander-in-chief. This person has a lot of military merit. Once he becomes the vice commander-in-chief, he will be able to add even more merit to our Sky Demon Country!"
Of the eight commander-in-chiefs on the stage, aside from the Sky Commander-in-Chief who was still calm, the other seven all had admiration in their eyes.
"This child was able to ring the drum eight times. He is a genius among geniuses. Good!"
"Not bad, and from my observation, it looks like this child hasn't used his full strength yet. Otherwise, he might have been able to ring the drum nine times!"
"At such a young age, he already has such a calm mind. Very rare!"
The vice commander-in-chiefs were also talking to each other.
Among them, Vice Commander-in-Chief Huang laughed at the Xuan Vice Commander-in-Chief and said, "Brother, are you still not going to admit defeat this time?"
The Xuan Vice Commander-in-Chief snorted and firmly said, "This Mo Fei is very strong, very strong. When I was his age, I wasn't as strong as him!
It can even be said that after going through the baptism of the Dragon Lake, his strength will become even stronger!
However, compared to the person I chose, Mo Fei is still not enough! "
Vice Commander-in-Chief Huang originally didn't care too much about this bet, but after seeing the Xuan Vice Commander-in-Chief praise that person many times, it wasn't just praise anymore. Vice Commander-in-Chief Huang had a feeling that the Xuan Vice Commander-in-Chief's tone was filled with fear!
He couldn't help but be very surprised.
Vice Commander-in-Chief Huang faintly smiled and said, "Good, then I want to see how many times this person can ring the drum!"
The Xuan Vice Commander-in-Chief silently pondered. He looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression and thought, "Mo Fei is only strong, but this Wang Lin is terrifying!
Can the difference between strong and terrifying be compared? "
The golden-armored man looked at Mo Fei return to the demon generals with admiration in his eyes. For the first time, he smiled and said, "Demon General Mo Fei's helper, step out!"
A green-robed cultivator walked out from the crowd. He had a greatsword strapped to his back, and as he stood there, he looked just like a sword. The moment he stepped out, his body flickered and he turned into a wisp of green smoke that shot toward the Demon Drum.
The moment he closed in on the demon drum, the cultivator's right hand formed a seal and pointed at the void. As the sound of the drum echoed, the cultivator's hand formed a palm and a complicated murmur came from his mouth. He gently pushed his palm forward, and the sound of the drum echoed.
The violent sound caused the cultivator's face to turn slightly pale. He didn't retreat, but he pulled out the sword on his back and swung it down. There was a series of whistling sounds as the sword energy from the sword broke through all the sound of the drum and landed on the drum.
The sound of the drum echoed once more. After the third sound, the cultivator's face became extremely pale. Waves of impact bounced back from the drum. Every sound of the drum caused the cultivator to suffer a backlash several times stronger. The cultivator bitterly smiled and retreated without hesitation. He no longer tried. "
With my cultivation level, three sounds are easy. If I go all out, four sounds are possible, but five sounds will definitely cause me to be seriously injured. Mo Fei's victory is already set, so it is not worth it to be seriously injured by him! "The cultivator in green pondered for a bit before returning to the crowd.
Ten sounds!
Mo Fei and his helper had sounded the drum a total of 11 times!
This result caused the expressions of the demon generals to become gloomy. In order to surpass Mo Fei, the demon general and his helper had to both sound the drum six times!
However, this was an impossible feat. After all, among all the demon generals, there was only one Mo Fei!
Even Mo Lihai's face was pale. He bitterly looked at the demon drum and then at the gloomy Wang Lin. He let out a sigh and whispered, "Brother Wang, forget it. We have lost the second round."
There was one more person among the demon generals. This person was Shi Xiao. His expression was dark as he stared at the demon drum and said, "Chen Tao, how many times can you sound it?"
Beside him, Chen Tao was silent for a while before he slowly said,
As for the exact number, I can't say for sure. But now … even if I take a pill, I can only sound it seven times.
But now … even if he consumed the pill, he could only ring it seven times. It was impossible for him to ring it more than Mo Fei!
"Mo Fei is indeed very strong. If he was in our cultivation world, he would be the number one cultivator below the Ascendant stage. I think even if someone in the Ascendant stage isn't at the mid stage of the Ascendant stage, this person can still fight!"
Shi Xiao's eyes were filled with killing intent. He turned around and looked at Mo Fei, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed. He let out a cold snort.
Aside from them, there were a few other demon generals who were secretly wondering how many times they could sound the drum to see if they had a chance of entering the top 10!
The golden-armored man coldly looked at the crowd with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He pointed at Wang Lin and slowly said, "You, step forward!"
Wang Lin calmly walked out and arrived at the square. His eyes were like lightning as he looked at the golden-armored man and calmly said, "My name is not 'you'. My name is Wang Lin!"
The golden-armored man didn't hide the killing intent in his eyes and said, "Wang Lin, do you dare to make a bet with me?!"
Wang Lin said, "Speak!"
"I bet you can't sound it five times!
If you win, I will personally recommend you to the Demon Emperor. I guarantee you that you can become a demon general, but if you lose, you will have to take responsibility for injuring a demon general!
If you don't dare to make the bet, then scram. Don't participate in the battle and scram out of Sky Demon City!
You are not welcome here! "After the golden-armored man finished speaking, the crowd began to talk again!
"He can sound it four times as well?
Although this outsider easily killed Ao Di, sounding the Demonic Drum is the most challenging. I think it would be pretty good if this person could sound it three times. If it was Ao Di, I think he would only be able to sound it once! "
Ao Di's cultivation is only considered average among the demon generals. Shi Xiao, Mo Fei, Yu Sen, or Xie Lian can easily defeat him. It is nothing for this Wang Lin to defeat Ao Di. "
"Chief Steward Jin is rather interesting. He actually made a bet with this outsider. Interesting."
Deputy Commander Huang, who was in the spectator stands, smiled and said, "Xuan Deputy Commander, the person you chose is not very good.
The Xuan Deputy Commander looked at Wang Lin and snorted. "Chief Steward Jin will be shocked."
Wang Lin looked at the golden-armored man calmly and revealed a faint smile. However, when the Xuan Deputy Commander saw this smile, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
This person also smiled like this when he attacked! The Xuan Deputy Commander gritted his teeth and thought to himself.
"I don't need you to recommend me to the Fiend Emperor …" Wang Lin smiled faintly.
The golden-armored man revealed a look of disdain and said, "You don't dare to bet anymore!"
"I want one of your hands." Wang Lin's voice was like the cold wind from the depths of hell.
These words startled everyone. Just at this moment, Wang Lin took a step forward and walked toward the Demon Drum!
Killing intent flashed in the golden-armored man's eyes as he smiled coldly. "You want one of my hands? If you can sound it more than five times, I will give you one hand. If you can sound it ten times, so what if you have two hands?"
"This Wang Lin is too arrogant. He probably overestimates himself. How can it be so simple to sound the Demon Drum?!"
"Once this person knows about the rebound of the Demon Drum, he will understand how ridiculous his anchors are."
"What a pity for Mo Lihai. I'm afraid that in the next three hundred years, he will lose face because of this person."
Wang Lin's expression was calm as usual. He walked toward the Demon Drum. His steps were extremely calm, and in a few steps, he arrived before the Demon Drum. He wasn't like others who would sound the Demon Drum from afar to reduce the rebound.
When he arrived before the Demon Drum, Wang Lin's feet left his body and he floated in the air. He looked at the pitch-black Demon Drum before him. At such a close distance, he could even smell a faint fishy smell.
The surface of the Demon Drum was not as smooth as a mirror. On it, there were many tiny potholes and tiny veins, just like the skin of a beast!
"Ancient Fey skin …" Wang Lin stretched out his right hand and touched the Demon Drum. The moment he touched it, traces of rebound force flowed through his palm into his body.
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed. At this moment, his entire body was covered with life seals. More than three thousand life seals were like three layers of protection, completely covering him.
"I bet I can't surpass five hits …" Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a wine jug immediately appeared in his hand. The jug was filled with wine. Wang Lin held the jug in his left hand and took a big gulp. He smiled and said, "Golden-armored demon, watch carefully!"
Wang Lin's right hand clenched into a fist and he punched the Demon Drum!
"Dong!" The sound of the Demon Drum echoed, forming rolling thunder that swept across the sky.
Wang Lin's body didn't move at all. His right fist was three inches away from the Demon Drum. At this moment, Wang Lin's right fist smashed down. Once, twice, three times, four times!
"Dong!" "Dong!" "Dong!"
Four consecutive hits!
These four hits seemed to ring out at the same time, catching up to the first hit. They soundlessly fused into one and formed a storm of sound. With the Demon Drum as the center, the storm spread out in all directions.
The ground of the Demon Drum cracked inch by inch. It was as if there was a ring-shaped dragon rolling around. In the sky, the thunderous sound of the Demon Drum became even more intense. Countless people in the spectator stands coughed out blood. They had actually suffered serious internal injuries from the five combined sounds of the Demon Drum!
There were even a few people who fainted from the vibrations!
Aside from the Sky Commander-in-Chief, the eight Demon Marshals all stood up from their seats. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. The golden-armored man's expression also changed greatly!
Normally, five thunderous sounds wouldn't have shocked these people. What really shocked them was that after five consecutive hits, Wang Lin's body didn't move at all!
"This … This is impossible!" Deputy Huang, who was beside the Xuan Deputy Marshal, exclaimed.
This chapter is a bit lacking, please forgive me …
