"Tap, tap, tap." Er Dongsheng walked step by step before the Abyssal Fairy, holding the shattered heart in his hand as blood gushed continuously from it!

He stretched out his blood-soaked claws, crouched down, and gently stroked the panic-stricken Abyssal Fairy's face. Then Er Dongsheng suddenly smiled!

"Tsk, tsk, I can't bear to kill you! Such a beautiful demon—how could I waste you so carelessly?" He lightly pinched the pair of proud breasts beneath the Abyssal Fairy's leaf-like clothing. Amid Xierjie's flustered expression, Er Dongsheng rose to his feet!

"Get up. Come with me! From now on, you belong to me!" Er Dongsheng said, lowering his head to look at the Abyssal Fairy still slumped on the ground!

He turned and walked forward, speaking without looking back.

"Don't even think about running! Tsk, tsk, you should understand that the consequences are not something you can bear!"

Er Dongsheng exchanged four portions of Abyssal Species Essence, along with some hides, for that Fire Elemental Gem and the strange mirror!

The Fire Elemental Gem was the valuable part! As for that strange mirror, it had been sold entirely as metal! It was only palm-sized, a thin little piece of metal. There was too little of it to be worth much!

With the unwilling Abyssal Fairy behind him, Er Dongsheng slowly toured the enormous marketplace. Other than buying a few little things as gifts for the little Succubus at home, he did not buy anything else! He had originally thought he might acquire more Fire Elemental Gems, or perhaps some powerful rune stones! Unfortunately, this market was probably too low-grade. Er Dongsheng came away empty-handed!

"Aren't you going to deal with Troll Sula's corpse?" Xierjie followed behind this strange and powerful demon. After hesitating for a long while, she finally spoke!

"Oh, deal with that fellow's corpse? Tell me, after so much time has passed, is his corpse still there? Hasn't it been carved up already?" Er Dongsheng turned around and looked at the Fairy behind him, asking with a baffled expression! He had not wanted to abandon the Troll's body either, but now was truly not the time to deal with it. He was in a hurry to get home! He had no time to handle that thing, so after the fight, he had simply tossed it aside and ignored it!

"Of course it is. We're demons—what Abyssal Species would dare openly steal our prey? Especially when you're this vicious!" Xierjie looked at Er Dongsheng with disdain. Though she could not look down on him in terms of strength, she could still disdain him for his lack of knowledge!

"Oh, then how should a Troll's corpse be handled? I don't have time for this!" Er Dongsheng ignored the disdain in the Abyssal Fairy's eyes and continued asking without shame! He had captured this Abyssal Fairy to keep at his side precisely because he needed someone familiar with this place. If he did not ask her now, what use was there in keeping her?

"Well, if you don't have time..." Xierjie hesitated, paused, then said, "Could you sell his corpse to our clan for processing?"

Seeing that Er Dongsheng said nothing, she hurriedly added, "Of course, we'll offer you the highest price!"

"Oh, sure!" After thinking for a moment, Er Dongsheng agreed without hesitation. Selling it was selling it, no matter to whom. Since he was unfamiliar with this place, it was better to dispose of the corpse quickly and save himself the trouble! Besides, given the strength he had already displayed, he believed no one had the nerve to cheat him!

The two of them returned to the battle zone. Troll Sula's corpse lay quietly on the ground, while a large crowd of demons still surrounded it, pointing and discussing it. Some demons were even vividly recounting the events of the battle to demons who had arrived later!

Whoosh!

At the sight of the two returning, both demons and Abyssal Species immediately cleared out a large space!

That vicious demon had even killed Troll Sula. They could not afford to provoke him! Better to hide as far away as possible.

At this moment, beside Troll Sula's body crouched a humanoid demon roughly as tall as Er Dongsheng. He was continuously examining the wounds on the corpse, seemingly trying to determine something!

"What, are you interested in my spoils of war?" A lazy voice drifted over, interrupting the demon's thoughts!

The figure crouching beside the corpse slowly stood up and turned his head, meeting Er Dongsheng's gaze head-on!

Deep crimson hair, sharp rhinoceros-like horns jutting up from both sides of his forehead, and a cloak made from some unknown material draped behind him. His face was as handsome as a human's, his body slender, and his tail naturally coiled around his waist. Altogether, this demon looked completely like a handsome man! A handsome man like a human! If not for the demonic traits on his body, this fellow would have been entirely human!

A faint aura seeped from around the demon's body. Upon careful sensing, Er Dongsheng felt a deadly threat emanating from it! And also—a trace of intense longing!

Eat him—eat the demon before me!

His body urged Er Dongsheng on without cease, as though he had inhaled some narcotic!

"This is...!"

Er Dongsheng's pupils contracted sharply!

"Second-Level Demon!!!!"

Two distinct Abyss Stars shone forth, entering Er Dongsheng's vision!

"Camp Lord Sakaros!! The Flame Sovereign!" Xierjie's horrified voice came from behind him at the same time!

"What? It's actually him!" Er Dongsheng stared deeply at the impossibly handsome demon before him, suppressing the sudden desire rising in his heart! He understood that now was not the time to provoke such a powerful demon!

This marketplace was jointly managed by several Second-Level Demons and several powerful Abyssal Species clans. Those powerful Second-Level Demons were called lords, the uncrowned kings of this marketplace and the rulers of the camp! Every creature entering this place had to obey the rules jointly laid down by the demon lords. Ordinary demons were no exception!

Normally, the lords did not interfere in conflicts between demons within the marketplace! Though the rules forbade fighting, when facing demons as untamed as wild horses, the lords could only turn a blind eye. As long as it did not happen before their eyes, they would pretend it had never happened!

Er Dongsheng had learned all this information from the Abyssal Fairy Xierjie. After the battle ended, he had been puzzled as to why no one in charge had come out to intervene! Yet it turned out that no one would bother! In this place, strength was still the truth! So long as one did not greatly disrupt the camp's order, one could do whatever one wanted!

Fighting was precisely what demons, bored enough to blow bubbles, loved most. Why would they stop it?

But...

Narrowing his eyes at the suddenly appeared demon lord, this fellow called the Flame Sovereign, Er Dongsheng could clearly sense waves of evil, greedy aura spilling from him!

Touching the Ink Spirit Flame at his heart, which was beating madly without pause, Er Dongsheng fell into thought!

Perhaps this fellow, just like himself right now, wanted nothing more than to devour the other!

The two simply stared silently at one another, the greedy desire to consume clear in both their eyes...

Come. Which deer dies and whose hand wins is yet to be decided!!!

I have... longed for this...

Longed for a battle with a Second-Level Demon for so long!!!
