Demon Emperor Daochen froze for a moment. He had never expected these two fellows to be scheming against him too.
And theirs was an open scheme. The moment he killed that severed hand, he would already have fallen into their trap.
Whether he succeeded or not, he would probably draw the attention of those above.
"Hmph, so what?"
"You don't really think you can get a message out, do you? I've sealed off the space here. No message can escape."
The two smiled faintly. "A native is still a native. You'll never understand how the two of us transmit messages."
"Just wait for those above to come and crush you!"
The Demon Emperor sighed softly. "Since we can't cooperate, so be it. You've left me no way to live, so I can't leave you one either."
Their smiles grew even brighter. "We've earned a great deal of merit this time. You'll never know just how valuable Thousand-Hand Hui is. He's a notorious fugitive convicted of grave crimes, and the bounty on his head is frighteningly high."
"Those above have already promised to resurrect us as our reward, so neither of us fears death."
"As for the others, whether they live or die has nothing to do with us."
Demon Emperor Daochen sighed softly. He had to admit that these two had thought of everything.
They had even made arrangements for after their deaths.
That left him helpless.
He said nothing more and simply killed them both outright with a single swing of his axe.
He looked at the group of Ultimate Powerhouses behind them and raised his axe, about to wipe them out.
At that moment, the finger in his hand could not help speaking up. "Don't kill them. Wouldn't it be better to save them as food for me?
