Chapter 1972 - 1957: Do You Really Take Me, the Demon Lord, for a Fool?

"Old Man Han, are you here to be funny?"

"Old Man Han, are you here to be funny?"

...

The youthful voice, laced with a cold smile, began to reverberate across the heavens and earth.

Logically, this was a statement meant to provoke laughter, yet at this moment, no one found it amusing, and no one dared to laugh.

"I..."

"You should die as well."

Just as Han Wei uttered the words "I", Shi Feng immediately interrupted him, stopping him from continuing, and then, without anyone seeing any action from this Killing Demon, with a "bang", Han Wei's body, like Gu Ze before him, exploded, spilling blood, creating a macabre scene.

"Han Wei!"

"Han Wei!"

"Family Head!"

"This..."

Shock and awe filled the air once more, as yet another peerless figure who commanded dread over the Wilderness Continent fell just as quickly and simply to death!

The Power of Death, blood, and soul of Han Wei were swiftly absorbed into the Blood Stone Stele by Shi Feng.

The atmosphere became even more somber and oppressive, as if the sky sensed the people's emotions, and the rolling dark clouds pressed down, becoming murky and heavy.

"Old man, you look quite familiar!" At this moment, Shi Feng's eyes focused sharply upon a remarkable figure.

This person was none other than the Supreme Elder of Gu'e Mountain, Gu Qi!

That day, he led the strong ones of Gu'e Mountain into the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land, in alliance with the other five major factions, to hunt down the rebellious Shi Feng of the past.

"No... not at all! Nine Nether Demon Lord, you've got the wrong person! We have never met!" Supreme Elder Gu Qi, whose stern old face now was full of shock, quickly shook his head, speaking to Shi Feng in the sky.

The gruesome scenes of the Sacred Lord Gu Ze and Han Wei's deaths were still fresh in his mind. At this moment, how could he dare to acknowledge in front of this Fierce Demon?

"Oh, really?" Shi Feng remarked coldly.

"Indeed, I have not had such fortune," Gu Qi replied with a respectful and earnest face.

Seeing his demeanor, it truly seems as though he had never seen Shi Feng before.

"Hehe!" Hearing Gu Qi's words, Shi Feng said nothing, only letting out a "hehe", a laugh that struck others' ears as extraordinarily cold.

Even Gu Qi, upon hearing this icy "hehe" laugh, felt his heart tremble, realizing that something was amiss.

Next, everyone heard a chilling voice arise: "Old man, do you really think this Demon Lord is a fool? Hmm?"

Gu Qi, the Supreme Elder, immediately sensed a chilling supreme aura enveloping him. "Ah!" A startled cry involuntarily escaped from his mouth.

Then, Gu Qi hastily spoke: "Nine Nether Demon Lord, on that day when I entered the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land, I was only following the command of Sacred Lord Gu Ze! I was just carrying out orders, Nine Nether Demon Lord!"

Saying this, Gu Qi's face appeared full of helplessness and bitterness, as if entering the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land back then to hunt down Shi Feng was really a reluctant, unavoidable action.

But who knows, that Holy Maiden Gu Yan was from his lineage, and the reason Gu Yan became the Saintess of Gu'e Mountain, apart from her talent, was primarily because of him, Gu Qi!

And it was after Gu Yan was killed in Ice Snow Wilderness City that he, as the Supreme Elder Gu Qi, insisted on calling upon the strong to eliminate that audacious rebel!

Ultimately, he even decided to personally lead the charge!

On the peak of Gu'e Mountain, when some of those knowing these internal affairs heard Gu Qi's words, they silently cursed him for his shamelessness.

All the day-to-day sternness, the unsmiling nature of Gu Qi, conducting himself in a forbidding manner of strict righteousness.... None could have imagined that for survival, he could be so shameless.

"Oh, is it?" Shi Feng continued.

"Yes! Yes, of course, Demon Lord!" Gu Qi nodded repeatedly, replying.

"Who was it that threatened to break this Demon Lord's legs that day? Hmm?"

Upon hearing Shi Feng's words, Gu Qi's old face changed sharply.

Indeed, when he chased him on that day in the Soul-breaking Mountain Range of the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land, he said those words.

At this moment, Shi Feng said again: "You chased this Demon Lord to the ends of the world, dared to be arrogant and impudent, even insulted this Demon Lord. This Demon Lord was almost killed by you, and now it is time to end your life!"

"Ah!" The Supreme Elder Gu Qi, who moments before was nodding repeatedly towards the sky, suddenly let out a mournful cry, and then his body burst open.

The method of death matched almost identically with those of Gu Ze and Han Wei just moments ago!

In just a fleeting instant, three peerless strong individuals at the Nine-star Demigod Realm unexpectedly met their end this way.

These usually revered existences, admired by untold millions of living beings, were in this fearsome demon's presence, just like ants, doomed to die at a whim!

These supreme beings at the Nine-star Demigod level were just like ants in front of him!

Among a hundred Nine-star Demigods, they were no different than a swarm of ants.

Gu Qi's death, blood, and soul were also absorbed into the Blood Stone Stele.

Then, Shi Feng again looked playfully at the crowd below, at those who previously dared to rebel against him.

Following that, they only heard this Killing Demon speaking again: "This Demon Lord is quite curious about what you were thinking at the exact moment you decided to rebel, what you thought would come of it? Did you ever imagine it would end like this?"

The young voice echoed across heaven and earth.

But after a while, there was still no response, no one dared to answer this Fierce Demon's question.

Yet, let's be honest, many did indeed consider the possibility that rebelling against this Fierce Demon could result in failure, potentially in death.

However, the images that surfaced in their minds at the time were of bitter battles, vicious deaths, battles worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Wilderness Continent.

Even if they were to die, it would be with bodies covered in wounds, in a scene of a tragic battlefield death.

Who could have known, it was just wishful thinking, any bitter battle, any battlefield death was but a joke in front of this Fierce Demon.

This Fierce Demon was there to slaughter them! Perhaps in his presence, they were like cattle awaiting slaughter!

They, who were once exalted Nine-star Demigod powers, were completely devalued!

"Hmm?" Seeing no one responded to his words, Shi Feng furrowed his brows again, making a slight "hmm" sound.

"Nine Nether Demon Lord!" At that moment, a handsome middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd, cupping his fist towards the void.

"Oh, who are you? From which faction?" Looking at the man who had spoken to him, Shi Feng inquired.

"I belong to no faction, just a free man. I joined this battle upon invitation from a friend, wanting to witness your strength, and truly, you are indeed the world's number one! I deeply admire you!"

The middle-aged man spoke, his words full of compliments, but also entirely true.

However, hearing his words, Shi Feng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as he said, "After that long speech, what is it you really want to say?"

"What I want to say is, having witnessed your supreme power, I wish to take my leave!"
