Chapter 1418: Heavenly Capital Dragon King vs Mangshan Demon Emperor

The two went outside together, the Heavenly Capital Dragon King taking the lead, Chen Chuyang following behind; he doesn't need to act, only Chen Chuyang needs to follow, watch, gaze, and carefully see how he deals with the Mangshan Demon Emperor.

This is an important proof of the two's mutual trust, and naturally it cannot be perfunctory.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King knows very well that the reason he brought Chen Chuyang along is to let him watch the spectacle together, also to give him some confidence; relying on himself alone cannot achieve this step, nor can he fully steady the opponent.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King is very clear and well aware of the Mangshan Demon Emperor's strength; naturally he needs an aide. This place is the Mangshan Mountain Range, and once action is taken it would be very unfavorable to him, so he needs Chen Chuyang to hold the fort, thereby eliminating the possibility of other Demon Kings intervening.

If it were a one‑on‑one duel, he wouldn't have to worry about the Mangshan Demon Emperor; the Heavenly Capital Dragon King worries about the other Demon Kings stepping in, which would prevent him from handling a one‑against‑many situation. Once caught in a hard fight, the unlucky one would inevitably be him, but with Chen Chuyang by his side, the situation is completely opposite.

The one to worry about is not himself, but others, namely the Mangshan Demon Emperor.

The two stared at the Mangshan Demon Emperor before them; the Demon Emperor Zhang Mang fixed his gaze on the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, instantly discerning the Dragon King's thoughts, and he coldly spoke, "Heavenly Capital Soul, what do you mean?"

Pointing at Chen Chuyang, he sneered, "You don't think that bringing him along makes you unafraid of this emperor, do you? Or are you planning to deal with this emperor together with him?"

"Heavenly Capital Soul, you underestimate this emperor far too much; if you intend to act, this emperor will naturally see it through to the end."

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King smiled faintly, "Zhang Mang, no need to be nervous; my arrival this time isn't to trouble you, but to ask—I've heard you want my Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, hoping to snatch it in advance, is that so?"

The Mangshan Demon Emperor's face grew grim; they naturally knew their plan had been exposed, yet they refused to admit it.

Instead, they fixed their gaze on the Heavenly Capital Dragon King, mocking, "What? Do you really intend to act against this emperor?"

Even if they admit it, so what? Could the Heavenly Capital Dragon King still dare to act against him?

Or do they think that the two joining forces can manipulate him?

The Mangshan Demon Emperor isn't afraid of the Heavenly Capital Dragon King; this place is the Mangshan Mountain Range, his territory, so the ones who should be fearful and worried are the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and his party, not this Mangshan Demon Emperor.

Although he can't see through Chen Chuyang's background nor know his strength, he only knows this person is not to be trifled with, yet he won't be afraid.

Within the Mangshan Mountain Range, there isn't a single person who can frighten him; even the Heavenly Capital Dragon King merely commands his respect, not enough to cause fear.

Facing such an opponent, the Mangshan Demon Emperor doesn't think of retreating but of probing Chen Chuyang's background; his Spiritual Sense continuously scans Chen Chuyang, trying to discern his nature, yet after a long look, finds no clue.

Chen Chuyang naturally sensed his probing, remained expressionless, smiled faintly, said nothing, and did not expose anything.

"Zhang Mang, don't be arrogant; although this is indeed your territory, we are two people, and dealing with you alone is more than enough," the Heavenly Capital Dragon King threatened.

He stepped forward; this time, he need not worry, as demon aura flared, Protector the Mangshan Demon Emperor before him.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor sneered, "Hum, overestimating yourself, Heavenly Capital Soul; you think that with such petty demon aura you can make this emperor retreat, you're truly naive."

"If you have the ability, act directly; this emperor will make you know what regret is."

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King raised his hand, clenched a fist toward the Mangshan Demon Emperor, and smashed it straight out.

The surrounding space began to warp; the force was so great that the nearby area became layered, and immediately the fist appeared before the Mangshan Demon Emperor.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor was in no hurry, raised his right hand, clenched it, demon aura flared, and a surge of demon qi erupted.

"Bang."

The fists collided, their punches meeting, and the resulting power burst instantly, causing the surrounding earth to collapse and spread outward, three inner layers and three outer layers; after the layers stacked, each began to expand.

After a round of expansion, the two immediately clenched fists again and struck.

The fist wind, like a phantom, swept across falling leaves.

The two collided swiftly, their mode of attack simple and direct, without any flourish, just fists striking flesh.

The clash of fists is their battle; at this moment, no one can intervene in this fight.

In a Demon Emperor‑level battle, others cannot intervene; Chen Chuyang quickly stepped back, not joining the fight, arms crossed as he watched the two's combat, and many people gathered around, their gazes fixed on this spot.

The Luotian White Snake Clan was the first to notice, and Bai Xinlan appeared nearby, staring at the battle.

She watched from afar, with no intention to intervene nor any desire to help.

"Heavenly Capital Dragon King and the Demon Emperor have started fighting; why would they fight?"

Bai Xinlan was in a very good mood; she knew this battle was not one she could intervene in, so she could only watch from a distance, and she also issued an order forbidding the clan's disciples from intervening, keeping them away from the war lest they be killed by the aftershocks.

A Demon Emperor‑level battle, naturally, the farther away, the better.

"Also, who exactly is he?"

Bai Xinlan saw where Chen Chuyang was; her eyes saw him, yet within her Spiritual Sense there was no trace of Chen Chuyang, as if he did not exist here, which was very strange.

She kept staring, yet found this person somewhat familiar; Chen Chuyang's gaze swept over, Bai Xinlan quickly shifted her eyes, but dared not look.

On the other side, Hei Hu also arrived, arms crossed, staring coldly.

Lan Tiansheng appeared not far from Hei Hu, hidden, observing from the shadows.

Further away, the Snake King of Mangshan remained silent, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, seemingly pondering something.

This battle is one they cannot intervene in.

At least for now, they cannot intervene.

In a hidden corner, a pair of eyes emerged, and Diyuan Bee King smiled faintly, "It's best if they fight, preferably both suffer defeat, so this king can find a chance to take that position."

"Zhang Mang has been in that position for a long time; it's time to step down."

Chen Chuyang knew of these arrivals and had seen them coming.

"There are quite a few people; this battle is truly spectacular."

"Within the Mangshan Mountain Range, many have ulterior motives; it seems they also hope the Mangshan Demon Emperor falls, so they can ascend."

Chen Chuyang scanned the area, naturally understanding those people's intentions; there's no need for him to act as Protector, they won't make a move.

All hope the Mangshan Demon Emperor gets injured, then they can find a chance to act.

What loyal subordinates the Mangshan Demon Emperor has—so "faithful."
