Chapter 1222: Threat

However, at this moment, Li Yue's gaze fell upon the several lords being held as hostages.

Although he knew there might be a trap on the other side, he still took a step forward, approaching them, wanting to hear what the other party had to say.

Li Yue had just made a move.

The Death Lord and the others beside him immediately blocked Li Yue's action.

"What are you doing stopping me!" Li Yue said angrily.

The Death Lord explained repeatedly: "Lord Cheng Xi, we all know you are anxious, but in this situation, aren't you afraid there might be an ambush?"

Li Yue said, "Of course I know that, but if I don't go, then they will be in danger. Should we just watch these lords die? Remember, they are comrades fighting alongside us!"

Hearing these words, the Death Lord fell silent, pressing his lips together.

Finally, he raised his head, looked at Li Yue, and said, "How about this? I will go with you. At least if something goes wrong, I can help." Li Yue thought for a moment and felt that what the Death Lord said was very correct.

So he gently nodded his head: "In that case, it will be a bit of a trouble." At this moment, the two of them descended the mountain together.

They walked to a distance of about one hundred meters from where the Demon God was located.

At this distance, no matter what happened, Li Yue would be able to react immediately.

Li Yue stopped his movement, his gaze turning toward the Demon God.

The Demon God smiled; this time, he felt he had finally seized the initiative.

Li Yue shouted loudly toward the Demon God's position: "Demon God, you said there was something you wanted to trade with me; you can say it now, can't you!?"

The Demon God smiled, raised his hand, pointed at the several people lying on the ground behind him, breathing heavily, and said: "Li Yue, if you want these people to live, you must obediently offer up your own head."

"You're dreaming!"

Before Li Yue could respond, the Death Lord beside him had already shouted out.

"Demon God, your credibility is not just low; no one believes what you say, not even a dog. We are not that stupid." The Demon God did not pay much attention to the other party's reaction.

More accurately, everything was still within his expectations.

The Demon God laughed coldly.

"You should know one thing: what I am doing now is not negotiating with you, but demanding."

As he spoke, the Demon God raised his palm and gently clenched it.

The body of one of the lords behind him began to twist uncontrollably.

The degree of twisting grew larger and larger; consequently, only the sound of cracking could be heard.

That sound was the sound of human bones interlocking and fracturing.

As this sound rang out, there was also the lord's painful screaming.

But under these circumstances, the lord's twisting body showed no sign of wanting to stop.

Instead, it grew worse and worse; finally, a crisp cracking sound was heard at the neck.

As the sound rang out, the neck immediately broke; subsequently, the entire body collapsed onto the ground at that moment.

Because of this, there was no longer any sound or breath.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue became extremely angry and was just about to take a step and rush over.

But he did not expect that his movement was still stopped at this moment by the Death Lord beside him.
