Chapter 99

The tiger demon's question brought the thunderous cheers to an abrupt halt.

Countless eyes focused on the tiger demon who stood out and on Su Chen, whom he was pointing at.

Sun Wukong's face sank instantly.

This tiger demon, named Bashan, occupied a mountain as king in the Divine Continent and was also a Mystic Immortal demon with amazing brute strength.

Among the demon kings who came to join, his strength was considered top-tier, and he was among the candidates for the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demon Kings they had planned.

"Bashan! You are presumptuous!" Sun Wukong shouted angrily, and the pressure of a Tai Yi Golden Immortal pressed toward the tiger demon like a mountain.

The tiger demon felt his breath choke and his legs soften under the impact of this pressure, almost kneeling to the ground.

But he still gritted his teeth, stiffened his neck, and held on hard.

"Great Sage! I, Bashan, do not mean to be disrespectful to you." He shouted loudly with a flushed face. "I just don't agree! Our Demon Alliance is our own business, why should we let a human point fingers?"

"He is just a Mystic Immortal, what virtue and ability does he have to hold the position of advisor?"

The tiger demon's words voiced the inner thoughts of many demon kings present.

The reason they came to join Sun Wukong was that Sun Wukong was a demon, one of their own.

Now that a human advisor had suddenly appeared and wanted to manage them, they naturally felt awkward and unconvinced.

"That's right, Niu Mowang Bashan is right!"

"We don't agree!"

"Letting a human manage us, what kind of thing is this? If this spreads, where will our demon race's face go?"

For a time, echoes of agreement rose one after another in the demon crowd.

Although most demon kings did not dare to stand out openly under the pressure of the six Great Sages, those whispers already indicated their attitude.

The Bull Niu Mowang and others frowned.

They did not expect that the opposition would be even greater than they had anticipated.

"All of you shut up!" Sun Wukong was furious, took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang, and slammed it heavily on the ground.

"Monkey brother."

At this moment, Su Chen reached out and gently pressed his arm.

"Let me handle it."

Sun Wukong turned to look at him and saw that there was no anger on Su Chen's face, but rather a faint smile.

He had to suppress his anger, nodded, and took half a step back.

Su Chen stepped forward, facing those questioning, scrutinizing, and even hostile gazes, walked to the front, and stood still in front of the tiger demon.

"Your name is Bashan, right?" Su Chen asked.

"That's right!" Bashan looked at the "frail" human youth in front of him, his eyes full of contempt.

In his view, Su Chen was only able to step on their heads because of his relationship with Sun Wukong.

"You just said I'm not qualified to be this advisor?" Su Chen asked again.

"That's right!" Bashan slammed the iron rod in his hand on the ground. "The position of advisor should be held by the capable! You are a human, why?"

"A good 'held by the capable'." Su Chen nodded, the smile on his face deepening. "Well said. Then in your opinion, what counts as capable?"

Bashan was stunned; he did not expect Su Chen to ask this.

He thought for a moment and said loudly: "It's very simple, our demon race doesn't talk about those empty things, we only recognize fists. Whoever has the bigger fist is qualified to be this advisor."

"If you want to be the advisor, beat me first."

"Otherwise, give the position of advisor to me!"

He pointed at Su Chen with the iron rod and issued a challenge.

"As long as you can defeat me, I, Bashan, will acknowledge that you are qualified to be this advisor. From now on, I will obey your every command!"

"Good!"

Cheers erupted in the demon crowd.

They liked this simple and direct way.

However, Su Chen shook his head and smiled.

Seeing him shake his head, Bashan thought he was afraid and mocked: "What? Are you afraid? If you admit you're not qualified now, I can pretend nothing happened."

Hearing this, the smile on Su Chen's face slowly faded.

He looked at the tiger demon and said: "You misunderstood. I didn't shake my head because I was afraid."

"It's just that I think defeating you is too simple."

Su Chen extended a finger.

"One move."

His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every demon.

"I will only make one move."

"Within one move, if I cannot defeat you, I will give this advisor position to you."

"But if I win..."

Su Chen's gaze suddenly became sharp, like two unsheathed swords, piercing directly at the tiger demon.

"You, and everyone behind you who is unconvinced, must remember what was said today."

"From now on, my orders are the iron law of the Demon Alliance! Whoever dares to disobey, don't blame me for being ruthless with military law!"

What? Defeat Bashan in one move?

All the demons, including Sun Wukong and the other six Great Sages, were stunned.

Isn't this tone a bit too big?

That Bashan is a Mystic Immortal demon with copper skin and iron bones and immense strength.

In the same realm, even if the Bull Niu Mowang, who possesses the blood of ancient exotic beasts, took action himself, it would not be an easy task to take him down within ten rounds.

This Su Chen is also just a Mystic Immortal, where does he get the confidence?

Daring to say he will defeat Bashan in one move.

The smile on Bashan's face also disappeared.

He felt he had been humiliated like never before.

"Good! Good! Good!" He laughed out of anger and said three "good" words in a row. "Kid, this is what you said!"

"Today, I'll let you know that you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

His demon power erupted without reservation, and a violent aura swept across the entire hillside.

The iron rod in his hand shone with black light, as if it weighed ten thousand tons.

"Take this!"

Bashan roared, stepped heavily on the ground, and the hard rock ground cracked instantly.

His huge body shot toward Su Chen.

The iron rod in his hand, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, drew a pitch-black trajectory and smashed down toward Su Chen's head!

He used all his strength for this strike!

He wanted to smash this ignorant human kid into a puddle of meat!

Facing this thunderous strike, Su Chen did not even move.

Seeing that the iron rod was about to fall on his head.

Sun Wukong on the side already wanted to intervene.

At this moment, Su Chen finally took action.

He simply extended his right hand.

Then, he grasped the falling iron rod.

Then, a scene that shocked the demons appeared.

In the center of the square, the human youth who looked delicate in their eyes just lightly grasped Bashan's iron rod, which was powerful enough to shatter a mountain!

That iron rod, wreathed in black light and capable of destroying mountains, stopped in Su Chen's hand and could not move an inch further!
