Mei Manor Lord, July Scorching Fire

Ye Kang had long been able to control the Emerald Azure Flame and burn the Black Panther, but he hadn't. His goal was to capture all three demons at once.

If he killed the Black Panther right away, the other two might flee—or simply crush their Jade Talismans and teleport out.

That was the last thing he wanted.

Since the Three Demons had come together, they would stay together.

Staring into Ye Kang's utterly unruffled eyes, the Black Panther finally realized how terrifying this human was. Summoning the last of his strength, he roared, "Spare me! I'm willing to serve as your Demon Pet!"

Ye Kang didn't waver. A mere Leopard like him wasn't worthy of becoming Ye Kang's Demon Pet.

In the end, the Black Panther glared at Ye Kang with boundless hatred and fell into the heavenly flames.

Even his Demon Soul True Form was burned to fragments by the Emerald Azure Flame.

Ye Kang seized the last moment to stop the Emerald Azure Flame, then let the Demon Smelting Furnace devour the remaining corpse.

Unfortunately, he'd only managed to save a little. It probably wouldn't yield much of value.

But it didn't matter. The Black Panther's main value had been the Comprehension, and the two other Demon Kings' intact corpses were enough of a prize.

With the Comprehension in hand, Ye Kang wasted no time in using it.

"Comprehend Azure Dragon Shadow."

An insight washed over him. Ye Kang seemed to become a carefree wanderer, roaming among the flowers and losing himself in plants.
