Chapter 1467

"Lan Tiansheng! You scoundrel, you dare to sneak attack this Dharma Protector." Xu Kongwang couldn't believe it; he actually couldn't sense Lan Tiansheng approaching; this person, clearly...

"Cough cough cough, you should die! You should kill!"

Xu Kongwang was furious, let his guard down for a moment, and actually got hit.

Just now his thoughts drifted away, he was thinking about other things, which gave him an opportunity; he didn't believe Lan Tiansheng would be hiding nearby, nor could he believe that he would actually strike at this moment, perfectly timed as others were leaving, and the surroundings were in chaos.

The spiritual qi of heaven and earth became chaotic because the Grand Elder of the Mudragon Land self-detonated, severely weakening Xu Kongwang's sensing ability, giving Lan Tiansheng an opportunity.

"Xu Kongwang Dharma Protector, didn't expect that? I've been around all along; when those few Demon Kings were present, I didn't dare to act."

"Now they've run off, I can finally find a chance to strike; I want to kill you, but it's not easy."

Lan Tiansheng sneered smugly, yet didn't relax his guard; his figure swiftly left the spot, that sword still embedded in Xu Kongwang's body, its blade like a sawtooth, wanting to pull it out, but not so easy.

Moreover, this sword of Lan Tianshang is coated with poison, specially prepared for Xu Kongwang; he collected many poisonous substances and refined them, including the poison of several Dao Realm demon beasts, which he blended together, also adding a bit of queen bee venom, mixing them into a unique poison.

This poison is extremely toxic, suitable for a demon beast of Xu Kongwang's level; he is currently stalling for time, letting the toxin spread rapidly.

"Xu Kongwang, how do you feel? You couldn't possibly have imagined I'd choose to strike at a time like this, could you?"

"From the start of this battle, I've been watching you; the other Demon Kings were injured, only you remained unmoving; I think you must be injured, surely when you fought Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, you were severely wounded by Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, and you've concealed it well, not revealing it."

"I know all along your original injury hasn't healed, and after another battle, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor will surely pay special attention to you; otherwise, I couldn't have succeeded."

Lan Tiansheng has been watching the show all along, hiding to watch, waiting the whole time nearby, not discovered by anyone else.

Hiding this long was just for this moment.

Xu Kongwang turned around, his eyes practically wishing to devour Lan Tiansheng; he knew what this person before him said was true.

He indeed was injured, and not lightly, which is why he chose to act with Bai Xinlan instead of fighting desperately.

When fighting Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, he suffered severe injuries, constantly seeking a chance to recover his body; who would have thought he'd encounter this scoundrel Lan Tiansheng, who kept staring at him; this person bears grudges, and if he didn't kill him, he would never rest.

"Just because this Dharma Protector wanted to kill you, you've kept retaliating against this Dharma Protector?"

"After waiting so many years, you finally..."

"Cough cough cough."

Xu Kongwang coughed up fresh blood, his expression grew even uglier, pointing at Lan Tiansheng: "You actually poisoned me."

"Hahaha, Xu Kongwang, unexpected that you'd detect it, but now it's too late; the toxin has entered your body, you cannot remove these toxins."

Lan Tiansheng smugly said: "These toxins are specially prepared for you, a surprise?"

"A poison blended from dozens of toxins, you cannot resist nor suppress; with this injured body of yours, it's impossible to suppress."

He didn't act immediately; Lan Tiansheng knew Xu Kongwang before him still had strength and could strike at any moment.

And Xu Kongwang was waiting for him to come over, then they would perish together.

The two know each other too well; Lan Tiansheng naturally wouldn't foolishly approach, giving him a chance to strike.

Standing far away, watching from a distance, not approaching, not letting him escape, just gazing like that.

Xu Kongwang spat another mouthful of fresh blood, his face turned pale, his body slowly descended, standing on the ground, almost collapsing, gritting his teeth to support himself, Xu Kongwang panted heavily, pulling out the sword embedded in his body, the lacerating pain making him grimace.

"Pfft."

The sword blade pulled out, fresh blood spurted from the wound.

Xu Kongwang used true qi to heal the wound; the surface wound closed, but the toxin inside his body cannot be removed.

It can only be temporarily suppressed, cannot be eliminated, nor detoxified.

"We must find a way to leave this place, return to the cave dwelling, then I can slowly detoxify."

"Lan Tiansheng won't let me leave; moreover, there might be other Demon Kings nearby, those Demon Kings likely noticed the situation here, and Bai Xinlan this woman definitely won't let me return."

"And Diewumeng Black Tiger and them also won't give me a chance to detoxify; they'd rather I die."

Lan Tiansheng pondered inwardly; the only way to survive is the Mangshan Snake King.

But right now, the Mangshan Snake King himself is hard-pressed, impossible to lend a hand; besides, he betrayed the Mangshan Snake King, so the Snake King certainly wouldn't risk it for him.

What the Mangshan Snake King needs to do now is return to the Mangshan Demon Palace, return to his cave dwelling, then digest his gains, becoming the true Demon Emperor of the Mangshan Demon Palace, rather than a snake king suppressed by them.

The two are completely different.

"Damn it, Lan Tiansheng picked the perfect timing; this Dharma Protector wonders if I'm really going to fall this time."

The entire Mangshan Demon Palace has no one who will save him, nor anyone who will help him.

Even his former subordinates have abandoned him.

"Cough cough cough, Lan Tiansheng, between us there is no mortal enmity; this Dharma Protector can acknowledge you as lord, from now on I will follow only your lead."

He, lowered his head.

The situation is not in his favor; he can only lower his head.

Xu Kongwang can bend and stretch; as long as he lives, everything holds hope.

"Hehe, Xu Kongwang, this trick of yours is useless against me; I have only one purpose—to kill you; once you're dead, I can rest easy."

Lan Tiansheng grinned: "If you don't die, I can't eat or sleep in peace; over these many years, how much I've given, how much I've endured, all to kill you; this time I finally found the chance to kill you, Xu Kongwang, this time you have nowhere to flee."

Last time, he got away because the Mangshan Demon Emperor intervened, causing the effort to fall short.

This time, however, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor didn't intervene; the Mangshan Demon Emperor was killed by Xu Kongwang joining forces with the Mangshan Snake King and them, so no one can save him anymore.

Xu Kongwang ended up in this situation due to his own actions.

"Lan Tiansheng, can you spare me?" Xu Kongwang began to play the emotion card: "After all those years, this Dharma Protector hasn't spared you in protection, you..."

"Hehe, protection? If it weren't for you, I couldn't have ended up like this, nor would I have remained outside the Dao Realm; it's because you wouldn't let me advance, constantly suppressing me."

"Xu Kongwang, today you must die."

For the master.

For myself.

He must die.

Xu Kongwang died; only then did the other Demon Kings get a chance to act; without Xu Kongwang's involvement to distract, the Mangshan Demon Palace will surely fall into chaos again, impossible to remain peaceful.

What the master needs is a chaotic Mangshan Demon Palace, not a balanced Mangshan Demon Palace.
