Chapter 474 - 468: Solo Run of the Ten Thousand Mountains Dungeon
Tanlang wielded the Wolf Fang Club, aiming to strike the Peacock Great Ming King’s forehead.
The Ox Demon attacked from the front with an iron cudgel, the Tiger Demon from behind with the Tiger Head Saber, the White Elephant Demon from the left wielding two golden hammers, and the Cyan Lion Demon from the right with a mountain-splitting axe.
Facing the siege of the five demons, the Peacock Great Ming King remained unafraid.
Since he had fought his way into the Ten Thousand Mountains alone, facing this group of immortals in their stronghold, he had anticipated this outcome.
Moreover, Tanlang and the others striking first amounted to an open admission.
Regarding the attack on his daughter, the Peacock Great Ming King couldn’t say if others were involved.
But these five who took the initiative could not shirk their responsibility.
Killing them would not wrong them.
As the five demons approached, the Peacock Great Ming King took action.
"Boom!"
All at once, a dazzling and scorching five-colored light soared into the sky centered on the Peacock Great Ming King.
The next moment, the five-colored light swept out, sending the five demons flying away in unison before crashing heavily
to the ground.
"Splurt!"
"Splurt! Splurt!"
The sound of five consecutive blood-spitting echoed, all five demons fell, spitting fresh blood, their faces pale.
From their appearance, it was evident their injuries weren’t light.
One move!
Wounding five Great Demons of the same tier.
This...
This is the Peacock Great Ming King?
In the Mysterious World, rumors only spoke of the Peacock Great Ming King as the strongest below the World Honored.
In truth, those who had truly witnessed the Peacock Great Ming King in action were scarce.
After all, those bold enough to offend the Peacock Great Ming King had been slain by him and couldn’t tell others how powerful he really was.
And today, upon truly witnessing the Peacock Great Ming King’s prowess, this group of immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains finally realized just how terrifying the Peacock Great Ming King was.
Perhaps he was even stronger than rumors suggested.
At this moment, the Peacock Great Ming King slowly opened his eyes, filled with disdain and mockery.
Seemingly mocking Tanlang and the others for their weakness.
"Heh!" A cold sneer emanated, it was the Peacock Great Ming King’s blatant ridicule: "A bunch of pitiful worms waiting to die in their lair, possessing only a realm, yet forgetting how to fight."
"Do you not know, cultivation is like rowing upstream, not advancing is retreating. Cowering here all day, apart from wasting time, you’re utterly useless!"
The Peacock Great Ming King’s sarcasm caused the immortals’ faces to pale, each wishing to find a hole and disappear.
However, they couldn’t refute these words.
Because the Peacock Great Ming King was right.
They feared death, lost the courage to compete with the World Honored, therefore, they hid in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Additionally, due to their fear of death, though they held renowned names, they dared not compete with other powerhouses of the same tier.
Over countless years, adhering to the philosophy of avoiding battle whenever possible, their skills had atrophied.
They had lost both the courage to risk death and the ability to fight.
Ultimately, they were simply an aging and "bloated" group of Tier Two Peak Powerhouses.
Thus, it wasn’t without reason that the five demons were wounded by the Peacock Great Ming King in one move.
At this moment, Bai Ze also felt quite troubled, having offended the Peacock Great Ming King, a god of slaughter, truly unsure how to end this!
Most crucially, the Peacock Great Ming King’s power far exceeded their expectations, they were unwilling to fight him.
Once a confrontation ensued, even though they were numerous, capable of killing the Peacock Great Ming King, surely many would be sacrificed.
The Peacock Great Ming King feared death less than them!
With things at this point, Bai Ze felt quite helpless but couldn’t stand idle.
"Alas!" Bai Ze sighed heavily, stepping forward to mediate: "Great Ming King, those five were momentarily foolish, we plead with you to spare them."
"I believe your daughter hasn’t faced any true danger, the matter can still be remedied."
"Great Ming King, we’re willing to open the treasure vaults of the Ten Thousand Mountains, allowing you to choose ten treasures and take them away."
"What do you say to settling this causality in such a manner?"
Allowing the Peacock Great Ming King to choose ten treasures was a far cry from offering him three treasures.
Firstly, there was a significant difference in quantity.
Secondly, offering meant they chose, allowing them to give him less precious treasures.
Opening the vaults for the Peacock Great Ming King to select, given his keen eye, he’d surely choose the finest treasures.
This group of immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains, cowardly as they were, had lived for long enough to possess some true treasures.
Perhaps within their vaults lay items rivaling those of Wu Nengsheng’s Human Seed Bag or the Purple Gold Alms Bowl.
Agreeing to open the vaults for the Peacock Great Ming King to select ten treasures, this group had truly made a considerable concession.
Although Tanlang had attacked Kong Mengmeng, she was rescued back, suffering only minor injuries without irreversible consequences.
The Peacock Great Ming King had injured the five demons, venting for Kong Mengmeng and clearly taking a stand.
Rationally speaking, choosing ten treasures now to settle this causality would be the most sensible decision.
But reasoning with a father devoted to his daughter was impossible.
After glancing at Bai Ze, the Peacock Great Ming King then gazed fiercely at the five demons, coldly stating, "I want nothing but their lives!"
Bai Ze: "???"
Bai Ze couldn’t fathom that the Peacock Great Ming King was like a stone from a latrine, both foul and stubborn.
His daughter’s injuries were likely lesser than those Tanlang and the others had sustained.
Yet even so, ten treasures couldn’t settle this?
Grinding his teeth silently, Bai Ze boldly declared, "Great Ming King, this is the Ten Thousand Mountains, we cannot stand by and watch you kill our allies..."
Emphasizing this was the Ten Thousand Mountains, Bai Ze was warning the Peacock Great Ming King that this was their territory, they were numerous.
However, the Peacock Great Ming King didn’t care about such matters; more foes simply meant more to slay.
"Since you insist on blocking me, then join them in death!" Before Bai Ze could finish speaking, the five-colored divine light had already flashed towards Bai Ze.
Additionally, when the Peacock Great Ming King acted, he did so with lethal intent.
Witnessing this scene, Bai Ze panicked, forced to hastily defend.
Among the immortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Bai Ze was one of the strongest.
Yet even so, he was still swept away by the five-colored divine light for hundreds of meters, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
After sending Bai Ze flying, the Peacock Great Ming King charged at the five demons.
The five demons shared a glance, and together they lunged at the Peacock Great Ming King, shouting, "Fellow Daoists, quickly take action and kill this one."
"If he isn’t killed, the Ten Thousand Mountains will surely become a laughingstock to the world."
