As the void rippled, a handsome man with white robes and black hair appeared before the crowd, his brows furrowed.

Sensing the unfathomable aura emanating from the other party, all the Demon Commander subconsciously suppressed their breathing.

Mengka, in particular, sensed it even more clearly. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he staggered back, exclaiming in utter horror, "You... you're King-level powerhouse?"

Demon King?

Upon hearing this, even Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice looked at Xiao Han in surprise, wanting to know how Xiao Han had deceived the other party's senses.

Mengka may not know, but doesn't he? If Xiao Han really has the strength of King-level, wouldn't they just sweep him aside? Why bother arguing with them like this!

Everyone present, except for the King's Hall, gasped in shock. This unfamiliar powerhouse from the Fierce Qi Continent was actually King-level. They then turned their hopeful gazes to their only lifeline— King's Hall.

Everyone knew that only a strong person of the same level could contend with such an existence; using sheer numbers would only lead to certain death.

But... seeing the hunched body of the King's Hall and the faint aura of Evil Qi, the Demon Commander felt a chill in their hearts.

With that kind of physique, even if they were to deceive themselves, they wouldn't believe that King's Hall Wang would be a match for an outsider.

They swore in their hearts that they had never longed for the Demon King to have a strong physique as much as they did now.

Are we now left to be slaughtered? Some people have become pessimistic, but others are unwilling to give up, such as the brute-level powerhouse Mengka the Demon Commander.

He quietly clenched his fists, preparing to fight to the death. Although he had just been fighting for power here, that was just an internal struggle. When facing Foreign Enemy, he... would never compromise!

Seeing Mengka's subtle actions, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the King's Hall's eyes, and he was even somewhat reluctant to lay a hand on him.

But...

This was just a fleeting thought. "I will live on with everyone's ideals and make those inferior creatures on the Fierce Qi Continent pay the price," King's Hall roared inwardly, his face contorted with rage.

Although his heart was filled with great ambition, the King's Hall outwardly maintained his broken and battered appearance. "Why bother with your pretense here, Your Excellency?"

King's Hall said calmly, "If you truly possess such strength, would you still be here having such a pleasant conversation with this old man?"

According to the King's Hall's perception, Xiao Han's aura was much weaker than his and somewhat unstable, clearly indicating that he had just temporarily boosted it using some method.

With just a few simple words, the Demon Commander were instantly pulled from hell to heaven—after all, the King's Hall still needed to ensure the good mood of these sacrifices!

"I knew it. He was just a charlatan." Mengka was relieved and looked at Xiao Han with a mocking expression, as if to say: That's it?

"The Demon King? A mere Peak Eight-Star Dou Sheng..."

Xiao Han didn't pay much attention to the reactions of the Demon Commander. He simply looked coldly at the King's Hall below and said disdainfully,

"How dare you compare yourself to the Demon King!" The Demon King is Nine Star Dou Sheng, a true Peak Dou Sheng!

The current Demon King is merely a false king; he may have once possessed the strength of Nine Star.

However, as he lay dying, his body weakened and his cultivation level had already fallen. If it weren't for the fact that Mengka hadn't yet advanced further and the difference in their levels was too great, his strength would have been impossible to conceal long ago.

It was precisely because Mengka sensed the aura and pressure emanating from Xiao Han that was very similar to that of the King's Hall that he mistook the former for King-level.

How dare an eight-star guy try to pass off inferior goods as superior ones? He's simply overestimating himself!

If he really still possessed the strength of Demon King, even if he was on his last breath, Xiao Han might have simply taken the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice and run away.

The difference between an early-stage eighth-star and Nine Star is greater than that between a human and a dog; he might not even be able to escape!

However, King's Hall is currently only at the same realm as Xiao Han, who has been enhanced by Secret Method. It's still uncertain who will die first.

"Hey, you idiot, you didn't even bother to figure things out back then, what a waste of time." Xiao Han rolled his eyes at the dumbfounded Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice and teased.

This nearly drove the previously stunned man mad. "How is this possible? This guy's cultivation level has actually dropped!"

It wasn't that Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice was careless; it was just that the difference in strength between him and the King's Hall was too great, so his perception wasn't very accurate. Besides, it's possible that this King's Hall had fallen from grace in the last few years.

After all, even Xiao Han had only just discovered it.

But these were not reasons for his distraction. Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice was simply regretting why he hadn't been more cautious back then. If he had figured out the strength of the King's King's Hall, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Divide and annihilate them, it's a piece of cake!

Thinking back on the hardships of the past year, impersonating the Succubus General Alora, outwitting and outfighting a bunch of Demon Commander, and even having to flatter them...

Hehe~

Feeling utterly hopeless...

"Oh? Your judgment is quite good!" The King's Hall did not refute Xiao Han's words, and even seemed to agree with them.

What? Not the Demon King?

The flame in the hearts of many Demon Commander was rekindled; the throne was within reach, just around the corner!

"However, I must admit..." King's Hall said with a complicated expression, even a hint of excitement, "You are the most powerful opponent I have ever encountered in my lifetime."

On his path to becoming the Demon King, no one could rival him; he simply rose to the top with ease.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment they encountered an opponent worthy of serious attention.

"You are worthy of my personal attention." It was as if this was the greatest honor for Xiao Han.

The latter merely curled his lip in disdain. Of course, it was the King's Hall himself who took action; otherwise, who among them could stop him?

However, a fiery glint appeared in Xiao Han's eyes. Since breaking through to the Dou Sheng, he had never encountered an opponent who could make him go all out. The existence of this King's Hall satisfied him.

"Then please enlighten me, sir!" Xiao Han's expression turned serious, and before he finished speaking Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice and Xiao Han disappeared at the same time.

When he reappeared, Xiao Han was covered in a layer of Frost Armor that crackled with electric arcs.

Without a doubt, Xiao Han officially merged with Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice to become Armor Warrior.

On one hand, it was to enhance Xiao Han's combat power, and on the other hand, it was naturally to prevent the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice from being captured by that large group of Demon Commander below and taken hostage... oh no, it should be Ice Crystal!

Those guys are much stronger than Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.

As for shamelessness...

Just kidding. Xiao Han didn't spend all those years in the martial world for nothing. If he still talked about morality when fighting to the death, he would only be seen as a fool.

Upon seeing Xiao Han's somewhat peculiar appearance and feeling the oppressive aura emanating from his armor, the King's Hall's expression darkened.

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice was originally Three-Star Dou Sheng was about to break through to four stars. It was also Mysterious Object heaven and earth with unparalleled strength. Needless to say, the armor it transformed into was also powerful.

Even the seemingly insignificant pale yellow electric arc was far more powerful than the Black Demon Lightning in the Ninth Grade Pill tribulation.

After Xiao Han used Secret Method to break through to the Eight Star Dou Sheng, his strength was on a completely different level. With the two combined, Xiao Han's aura was already approaching that of this King's Hall.

"Your Excellency, I must say, you are very cautious." The King's Hall was not angry about the fact that Xiao Han and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice had joined forces. On the contrary, he praised them. The two had obviously reached a consensus on some point.

"But..." Seeing the eerie, chilling smile playing on that person's lips, Xiao Han's heart skipped a beat. "I never said I wanted to fight you one-on-one!"

"Attack together!" A sharp shout suddenly resounded in the hall, and the many Demon Commander who were already on high alert attacked Xiao Han in unison.
