272. King of the Flame Demons: Actually, I'm Extremely Clever

Distant mountain ranges.

Du Quan looked up at the giant that stood shoulder to shoulder with the mountains, his face full of excitement.

Is this the majesty of the Flame Demon King, the Demon King of Hell?

Du Quan bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Great Fire Demon King, Immortal Erythos, the humble summoner greets you."

The Flame Demon lowered its head slightly, its eyes, like raging flames, flickered, and flames rose and changed around its body, causing the temperature of the surrounding mountains to rise by several degrees.

The ice and snow were melting at a visible rate, and the few remaining green leaves on the mountains and forests turned yellowish-brown, as if a cataclysmic disaster had suddenly struck.

"Very well, young summoner, you will receive the demon's blessing."

Du Quan was beaming with excitement; he knew he had won his bet.

The offerings he carried were insufficient to summon a great demon of the Balrog King's caliber. It was only by using the lives of hundreds of thousands of barbarian beings as a catalyst that a wisp of the Balrog emerged from purgatory.

Having received the Flame Demon's promise, Du Quan seemed to already see a bright future ahead.

The Flame Demon, one of the rulers of Hell, an immortal being!

The Fiery Demon roared, "My sons, bring the terrors of purgatory to the mortal realm!"

With the roar of the fire demon, the thick dark clouds in the sky were greatly impacted, and a terrifying heat wave swept across the heavens and the earth.

The dark clouds dispersed instantly, revealing twinkling stars in the dim sky.

But instead of bringing comfort, such a beautiful scene plunged everyone into fear and trembling.

Fear!

Horrible!

Incomprehensible power.

Changing the world—isn't that a power only gods possess?

While people were still reeling from the sight before them, the Balrog King had already opened the gates of Purgatory.

Tens of thousands of little devils surged out like a tidal wave!

These fire demons from hell surged down from the mountains and forests towards the Barbarian Tribe below, like lava erupting from a volcano.

Tony Stark: "What a headache this dinner is."

As Tony Stark spoke, the watch on his wrist suddenly began to move rapidly like flowing water, quickly enveloping his entire body and transforming into a set of red and gold armor.

"Let me present the first gift to the Barbarian King brothers."

With that, Tony Stark leaped into the distance.

He was incredibly fast, arriving in the forest just as the demons had fled the mountains.

Full power!

Hundreds of cannonballs, each the size of a pen, shot out and flew toward the endless little demons on the ground.

"Boom!"

The missile struck the surging demon army, instantly causing the sky to collapse and the mountains to shatter.

The intense flames formed a huge mushroom cloud, causing the entire Barbarian Tribe to tremble violently. Countless tents tilted and collapsed under the violent shaking.

In an instant, screams of agony echoed throughout the entire tribe.

Angel Yan shook her head slightly. "This idiot is actually making things worse."

As she spoke, she suddenly spread her wings and flew away into the distance.

Terrifying lightning snakes coiled around Yan Xuebai's white wings, drawing lightning and thunder from the sky to form a sea of lightning that Shrouding the Heavens the sun. Endless bolts of lightning shot down from the sky, as if it were divine punishment from the gods.

Ten Thousand Thunderbolts Descend!

Endless bolts of lightning shot down, like divine weapons composed of countless bolts of lightning. Countless demons perished within them, and the surging demon army instantly found vast empty spaces.

Du Quan frowned slightly.

What is this thing? Do barbarians actually have such a powerful being?

However, even if you are the strongest beings in the mortal realm, you are nothing but ants before the immortal Flame Demon.

The Flame Demon King's eyes, like a sea of fire, spewed flames as his rage reached its peak.

Damn it, damn it!

"Roar, you ants, you have angered me!"

The Flame Demon King raised his head in fury, and the raging flames burning on his body suddenly surged, illuminating the sky in a crimson glow, making the surrounding hundreds of miles bright as if it were daytime.

The terrifying aura stirred the power of heaven and earth, forming a fiery tornado that stretched from the sky to the ground!

This moment felt like the end of the world!

"Insects, I, the King of Flames, the Immortal Lord of Purgatory, will bestow upon you Eternal terror and Eternal torment."

The Flame Demon's voice was like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

The already chaotic Barbarian Tribe descended into even greater turmoil upon hearing the Flame Demon's voice pierce their very souls.

"Gods above, what kind of monster is this?"

"Great God of War, please save your people!"

"Such a monster is simply beyond the capabilities of humans, isn't it?"

Panic, chaos.

People either kneel on the ground, offering devout prayers to an unknown being, or tremble with fear and helplessness; the myriad aspects of human nature are depicted within.

Li Hao walked on air.

"Chirp!"

A Three-Legged Golden Crow, Shrouding the Heavens out the sky, appeared, as if a great sun had suddenly appeared in the heavens.

The blazing sun shines upon Valoran!

In an instant, the gloomy world was dispelled by the blazing sun, and light shone on every corner of the world, startling all the powerful beings.

Li Hao, however, paid no attention to any of that.

He instantly appeared above the towering Balrog, calmly looking down at the raging giant below.

The Fire Demon King was somewhat bewildered and frightened.

Gods!

A true god!

Damn it, how could there be real gods here?

The Fire Demon King was filled with fear, but quickly recovered. Regardless of why there were true gods here, now was clearly not the time to consider such things.

The most important question is: how to escape?

No, it was a strategic shift that was both elegant and dignified.

At this moment, the Fire Demon King's mind began to work at an unprecedented speed.

He suddenly lowered his head, looking at Du Quan, who appeared slightly nervous on the mountainside, and said in a low voice, "Anyone who dares to disturb the blasphemers of Purgatory will be judged by Purgatory."

As soon as the Flame Demon King finished speaking, boundless flames rose up and instantly engulfed Du Quan.

"Ah!"

Du Quan only had time to let out a scream before he turned into ashes and vanished without even understanding what had happened.

Having done all this, the Flame Demon King raised his head and looked up at Li Hao in the sky, proclaiming loudly, "O powerful being from another world, I am the Lord of Purgatory, here to destroy the blasphemers who disturb Purgatory."

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly.

So you're kidding me!

You think I'd believe something even a fool wouldn't?

I have a feeling you're trying to humiliate my intelligence.

Seeing Li Hao's stunned expression and sensing the reopening of the Infernal Portal due to the summoner's death, the Balrog was filled with smugness.

Those damned purgatory lords always say I'm stupid, but I'm actually incredibly clever!

So what if he's a true god? He was still fooled by my clever mind, the Flame Demon King!

After a brief silence, Li Hao asked earnestly, "What grudge do I have against you?"

The Flame Demon King was taken aback, somewhat unable to react, and shook his head in confusion, saying, "This esteemed powerful figure is joking. We have never met before, how could there be any enmity between us?"

Hmph, if it weren't for you, you bastard, I would already be enjoying a delicious meal of blood.

I, the Flame Demon King, will avenge this grudge, I will definitely do it.

Li Hao took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Since I have no grudge against you, why are you humiliating me?"

The Fire Demon King stood there dumbfounded, not reacting for a moment.

What does this mean?

At that moment, Li Hao made his move.

The Great Sun Burns Heaven!

Golden flames, like a waterfall cascading from the sky, instantly engulfed the bewildered Flame Demon King.

Under the terrifying Sun God Fire, the Fire Demon King was utterly powerless to resist, instantly turning into ashes. In his dying moments, the Fire Demon King silently lamented, "I was clearly incredibly clever, why didn't they play by the rules?"

Li Hao watched as the Flame Demon King vanished into nothingness, then silently raised his head to look up at the heavens.

I'm so tired.

Angel Yan flew over, saw Li Hao's sad face, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Li Hao sighed, "My IQ has taken a hit, I'm a bit tired. Right now, I need a pair of warm breasts, cough, warm hands to comfort me."

As a seasoned driver on Akina Mountain, how could Angel Yan not understand Li Hao's words?

She gave Li Hao a sideways glance, amused, and puffed out her impressively erect member, then scoffed, "Nothing warm, how about something made of steel?"

Li Hao was stunned. Looking at the gleaming silver armor in front of Angel Yan, he sadly closed his eyes.

I don't know why, but I feel even more tired.

Therefore, you angels simply do not understand the art of war.

Shouldn't they be wearing tight leather clothes or something at this time? Why wear Iron Man Armor? They're really out of touch with the times.

However, who can give me a warm embrace, so I can feel that there is still warmth and true love in the world?

Tony Stark leaped over. "Group owner, didn't you unleash that ultimate move a little too quickly?"

Li Hao was quite annoyed at not being able to feel the warmth and kindness of humanity in a warm embrace. He snorted irritably, "Do you think everyone is like you? If you keep acting like this, the Barbarian Tribe will probably be wiped out."

Tony Stark paused for a moment, then instantly understood.

He looked somewhat embarrassed. Wasn't I just too concerned about the Barbarian King? Yes, too concerned about my best friend?

It's not because of the kemonomimi (animal-eared girl).

Angel Yan looked around and said, "The demons have retreated. What should we do now?"

Li Hao shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "What else can we do? Of course, we just go home. Do you want to go back and be stared at like monkeys?"

Angel Yan glared at Li Hao with displeasure.

It's all because of you.

If you hadn't used your ultimate skill, going back wouldn't have been a big deal.

As for now?

Angel Yan shook her head inwardly. Li Hao's ultimate move was too overpowered. If they went back, they might not be treated like monkeys, but they would definitely be worshipped like gods.

Angel Yan didn't mind, because she was already used to the worship of ordinary beings.

However, today is the Barbarian King's joyous day, so how could anyone do anything to overshadow him?

After a brief exchange, the group quickly reached a common conclusion.

Before leaving, Tony wondered, "Group leader, why do I feel like we have forgotten something?"

Li Hao blinked in confusion. "Surely not?"

The demons have been vanquished, and their army has retreated; what else could possibly happen?

Angel Yan thought for a moment and shook her head slightly, "There shouldn't be any more. Anyway, the demon has been dealt with. Even if there are any problems, they'll be minor."

Tony Stark thought for a moment but couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he had to put aside his doubts.

And so, the three of them returned to their own worlds one after another.

Meanwhile, the Barbarian Tribe...

The Barbarian King's face twitched slightly.

Group admin, are you guys trying to kill me?!

This is such a big deal, it's bound to cause a worldwide sensation, isn't it?

At this moment, what the Barbarian King did not know was that the continent of Valoran was not just in an uproar, but was plunged into chaos as if it were the end of the world.
