Chapter 72: The Demon Emperor

Who is it!

The mummy and Medusa both turned their gazes toward the entrance of the underground parking lot.

At this moment, Yabianfu San Shi's fangs had already sunk deep into Jiang Xia's palm, and its teeth had also activated the Mo Huang power within Jiang Xia's body.

Inside the underground parking lot, the previously peaceful and quiet atmosphere suddenly acquired a hint of lethal solemnity.

The howling wind carried a whistling sound, raising a rush of noise underground, and the steady footsteps sounded as if they were treading on their bodies.

Minghu's heart began to race inexplicably, and Medusa and the mummy also went on guard.

Back then they had seen the fierce combat power of kiva, and this suddenly appearing successor gave them pressure no less than back then.

A chilling cracking sound came, and a crack had already flashed across the mummy's mask on its chest, taking a claw shape.

Crack!

Their eyes and mouths were sewn shut, ears blocked outright, leaving them to live painfully in darkness, while the mummy fed on their fear.

The legendary beast on the mummy's chest opened, and the black bandage that filled the sky shot toward Jiang Xia.

Sizzle!

One could even faintly see the rotting flesh behind the mask.

Their bodies had already been digested, yet their consciousness remained awake, trapped inside the mummy's legendary beast, in solitude, darkness, without a single glimpse of light.

But it could not stop the relentless attacks of Mo Huang kiva, especially since most of the bandages had been shredded.

A blood‑red face, a ferocious countenance, golden armor covering the whole body, and a crimson‑fluttering cape behind constantly billowing.

"So strong, truly kiva, far stronger than that shabby armor," the mummy said, surprised yet not forgetting to sneer at Ixa.

And in the instant the mummy was stunned, Jiang Xia planted a foot, quickened his stride, and as if teleporting, rushed straight to the front of the mummy's legendary beast.

The Yabianfu San Shi that had just attacked the mummy now floated respectfully beside him.

Expressionless, he stared at Medusa and the mummy, and complex, beautiful patterns spread across his pure white face.

He then directly flipped the mummy and Medusa onto the ground.

In the darkness where silhouettes were indistinct, a tall, slender figure slowly stepped forward.

With just a light swing of the sword in hand, he could instantly annihilate a swath of enemies; no matter the race, none could match Dark kiva.

Transforming into a thunder dragon, it circled around him, as if he were the king here.

He understood the legendary beast's ability, that terrifying contagion, better than anyone.

It forced Jiang Xia to consider how to eradicate them again—perhaps devour them outright like the Tooth Blood Vampire? It seemed a good idea.

Jiang Xia continued forward, his bright red pupils fixed on the bandages that shot out like whips.

The mummy's bandage attacks are characterized by high speed, strong burst, wide attack angles, and the ability to bind opponents,

possessing good ranged capability, yet also a notable flaw: a fear of sharp objects.

This made the mummy and Medusa almost certain that he was the master of that Yabianfu.

As he focused, those ultra‑fast whips in the air, aided by the Mo Huang kiva mask,

red lightning illuminated the young face, and he came accompanied by the lightning.

He used only bandages to hoist Ixa and strike, but being also a Tooth Blood Vampire, kiva's power was a sheer cliff‑like crushing.

At Jiang Xia's current speed, dodging in front of him is simply a fairy tale.

Its mask here, though covered by the legendary beast's power,

its fingers slightly curved into claws, striking repeatedly, blood‑red claw marks slicing through the air.

The Dark kiva wielding a zanvat sword needs no other techniques.

A fierce energy wave surged abruptly from his waist.

The Mo Huang‑clad Jiang Xia stepped toward the two legendary beasts.

With a light shout from Jiang Xia, Yabianfu San Shi automatically hung upside‑down from his waist.

At the same time, the massive thunder dragon found its destination and surged toward him,

transforming into bright red armor on the soon‑to‑form kiva armor.

Forming a bracer resembling a Mo Huang dragon.

Bang.

Only the soul remained, wailing in endless pain.

A solitary Tooth Blood Vampire phantom burst from within, merging into a ferocious monster that suddenly covered his right wrist.

What speed is that!

The oppressive black sky flickered with red light, crackling sounds constantly echoing, the dazzling red glare firmly reflected in the minds of the two legendary beasts.

The last time Jiang Xia saw such a disgusting scene was in the lair of that rhinoceros Tooth Blood Vampire that devoured young people's dreams.

His dynamic vision, already beyond that of ordinary people, gradually slowed within the bright red field.

One could faintly see its expression turning unusually painful.

The underground, which once held a hint of light, has now become pitch black.

All the bandages that shot toward him were torn apart, turning into fragments of shredded cloth that drifted in the air.

A golden palm was instantly covered by blood‑red claws. With a light swing,

a claw directly seized the chest of the mummy's mask, which was embedded with people's souls.

Although the two legendary beasts guessed that this new‑generation kiva was powerful, they felt little sense of danger.

Jiang Xia said nothing, continued his measured stride, indifferent to the enemies' contempt, even able to turn it to his advantage.

With Mo Huang kiva added, his ability to observe attacks increased severalfold.

If the opponent wields a sword or a blade, the bandages can be easily torn apart.

And the constantly flashing electric light above also boiled at this moment.

The main reason is that the power currently displayed by the Demon Emperor lacks the kind of fear that, just by looking at it, makes one unable to resist submitting, as the Dark Kiva had years ago.

The stone mask statues all over the mummy simultaneously turned toward Jiang Xia; it instinctively stepped back, its body already slightly lifting, yet it was still just short.

A slapping sound rang out, and the stone pillars supporting the ground around it were instantly blown to rubble, showing how immense the power contained in those bandages is.

This is the feeding method of the mummy's legendary beast: it absorbs humans while they are alive, and strips away all five senses.

「henshin。」

「Don't be too arrogant, kiva; the king will wake soon, and then kiva will be exterminated. 」

Moreover, the masks that can control other races are also relatively very fragile, and their speed is pitifully slow.

Meanwhile, huge cracks continuously spread outward from beneath his feet.

Electric light flashed, a thunder dragon coiled, and a thread of golden morning light slowly shot out from his body.

All of this indicates his identity: the legendary Kiva, the Demon Emperor!

「Are you members of the legendary beast tribe? Your being able to appear here shows that your king escaped the Kiva's seal for some reason. 」

「Kill him; Kiva has weakened considerably, so let the new-era Kiva become the first congratulatory gift upon the king's awakening. 」

The bandages on the mummy's body instantly writhed, and an irregular human face appeared on its chest.

The mummy's legendary beast let out a miserable scream, and the mask on its body is one of its sources of power.

Conversely, this is also the strongest part of his body, and at the same time his weakness.
