Chapter 199: Resistance on Great Jiangshan, Part 3

The three demon kings—Guai, Luan, and Shen—could no longer maintain their demonic energy barrier; they abruptly dissolved it and screamed in unison, their cries echoing for dozens of li.

Yet afterward, the three demons exchanged glances, reading each other's thoughts clearly in their eyes, and burst into uncontrollable laughter that shook heaven and earth.

"That's how you fight! That's exactly how you fight!"

"Hahahaha—"

"Such a worthy opponent! Truly a worthy opponent!"

The eternal warrior, this is the nature of the Great Jiangshan demon clan, worshippers of raw power.

For over a thousand years past, they had constantly fought humans, demons, and their own kind—but never in the mortal world had they encountered such a being.

The fastest, simplest way to earn their respect was to display overwhelming power before them—though the cost was—

Danbo Province, Shanyin Road, Great Jiangshan.

Lasted two minutes and seventeen seconds.

Annihilation.

Small demons hiding in the forest fled in panic from hidden paths; ants poured out of their burrows in swarms; birds flapped their wings frantically and soared into the sky.

Yet not a single one of the powerful figures hovering and standing a thousand meters above paid any attention to the fleeing hundred demons below—including their own demon kin.

If they died in the aftermath of this battle, they were merely weaklings unworthy of the name demon (unworthy of notice).

For those weaklings, witnessing such a battle between titans was payment enough for their lives.

"To challenge this man"—all the demon kings understood now what quality Jia Ji possessed.

They saw with their own eyes, clear and undeniable: his power was real, not illusion!

He had defeated the Demon King of Strength with pure brute force—he possessed this unique allure that drove demons mad!

The remaining three demon kings gazed at him with eyes blazing with the unspoken thought: "Brother, you smell delicious."

Resist…

Resist.

Resist?

I can't resist anymore!!

How could anyone possibly resist this?!

—Shhh!

An unknown object tore through the air, striking the three demon kings.

It was Xiong Yongyi.

Jia Ji seized Xiong Yongyi's horn and tossed her unconscious body to the other three demon kings.

Ci Mu Hua Shan caught her lightly and forced the medicinal wine from her own flask down the demon's throat.

"Wah!"

Xiong Yongyi spat out great gouts of blood, yet shouted joyfully, "More! More!"—her wounds seemingly healed as she stood, flanked on either side, revived and brimming with energy after swallowing the wine.

A trickle of blood ran down her forehead, yet her face wore a fierce, exhilarated expression; her lips trembled, unable to voice the torrent of passion within—her crimson pupils reflected Jia Ji's figure, as if seeing a colossal wave about to swallow the world.

"Again."

He twisted his neck, stretched his limbs—this Super Beidou warrior, capable of fighting nonstop for a day and night, spoke.

Yi Bao Cui Xiang burst into laughter, tears nearly forming at the corners of her eyes; she slammed her wine gourd hard against Ba Yun Zi's back.

"Hahahahaha! Zi! Where did you find this guy? He's perfect for me!"

A warrior of this caliber should be legendary—yet Yi Bao Cui Xiang sifted through her clear mind once more and found not a single memory… as if Ba Yun Zi had pulled him out of her rift like magic.

But it didn't matter.

The seemingly cute little girl narrowed her eyes; a heavy, chilling aura subtly radiated from her—proving she was no mere mascot!

"Cough… cough…"

The demon sage concealed his shock behind his folding fan, smiling silently.

"Such a punch… worth tasting."

Barefoot, her slender, almost non-demon-like arms pinched lightly—there came a faint crackling sound from Ci Mu Hua Shan's palm, as if air had burst.

She smiled gently, radiant as a blooming peony—yet her two sharp fangs had appeared, glistening with a thin sheen.

"Fight."

With terse precision, Jin Jie Luo drew his long sword, pointing it forward—a piercing, razor-sharp aura erupted instantly, cutting like blades into every soul present.

"Let me go first!"

"I haven't lost yet—I still have one move left!"

"Isn't it my turn now?!"

"Cut."

…

Surprisingly, before the four demon kings could argue over who struck first, Jia Ji spoke ahead of them all: "You demons—come at me together. Don't give me the chance to defeat you one by one!"

His battle with Xiong Yongyi had brought pressure—and slight progress—but it wasn't enough. Far from enough to break through. So let them all come at once!

"... ou said... what..." x4

Four pairs of demon eyes glared at Jia Ji with blinding, chilling light; the grinding of fangs carried unrestrained fury.

At the horizon's edge, a muscular man stood suspended in midair, his pure blue short hair hanging down to his shoulders as if grown from nothing, his aura not diminishing but intensifying.

The entire sky was now covered in his blue radiance—and it continued to spread!

One against four?!

Ba Yun Zi finally lost her composure, stunned: "Can you even win?! How dare you say that?!"

She knew this guy often let his muscles override his brain, blurting out nonsense or headaches—but she never imagined he'd say this—what if the four demon kings tore him to shreds? She had no more spiritual power to heal him again. How would she explain it to the others?

Judging from Jia Ji's earlier display, defeating one demon king was already hard; two together would leave him bruised and broken.

Confidence can overcome all methods.

But this guy isn't so inflated as to believe he can fight four at once? Even the author of the Nihon Shoki wouldn't dare write such an absurd scenario!

"Zi, don't worry—I truly have my own rhythm this time."

The Three-Step Kill hadn't even landed yet—how could he just give up? And…

Jia Ji opened his arms wide, exposing his muscular chest as if welcoming something.

His internal qi merged with the external world; high above, in the clouds of the nine heavens, an extraordinary change occurred.

The previously clear, cloudless sky suddenly flickered with several bright stars.

Unwilling to be outshone by the powerful beings below, seven stars appeared one after another above their heads in broad daylight—Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, Yao Guang—each glowing in sequence, as if alive.

Brilliant, fated stars emerged from the void, linking a vast, timeless energy—some unimaginably terrifying being projected starlight onto Jia Ji, whose name was

—"Great Celestial Dragon"
