Chapter 944: Dimensional Bag (First update, requesting everything)

"Kill it!"

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, the Demon Pets, which had been slightly hesitant, immediately sprang into action.

Seeing that things were going poorly, the Demon Commander wanted to unleash a desperate Secret Technique.

Yet at this very moment, a black and a white ring of light appeared abruptly, encircling it while instantly contracting and binding it, directly interrupting its Secret Technique.

Not only that, countless vines emerged from the void, wrapping it up completely.

Crack— Crack—

The Demon Commander struggled violently, breaking free from the restraints of the light rings and vines in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a piercing sound of something breaking through the air rang out from behind. Before it could react, it felt a pain in its chest. Looking down, it saw a hideously savage giant claw barely punching through, clutching a thumping black heart.

The one who made the move was naturally Adai. Because the Demon Commander's back defense had been breached, the beating heart was vaguely visible, allowing Adai to precisely grab the Demon Heart; the remaining force was just enough to penetrate through.

Even so, having lost its heart, the Demon Commander, even if it could survive for a while longer relying on its powerful vitality, would eventually step toward death.

"Give it back to me!"

The Demon Commander's face was ferocious as it grabbed Adai's giant claw, wanting to snatch back the Demon Heart within the claw.

As long as it could press the Demon Heart back in, it would have a chance to continue living.

However, after losing its heart, the Demon Commander's strength dropped significantly, and now its power could not be compared to Adai's at all.

At this time, the other Demon Pets were not idle. Kailan held a Dark Green Light Blade and slashed fiercely at the Demon Commander's neck, yet still could not cut through the Demon Commander's neck bone, only managing to carve out a huge gash.

In an instant, Aixi slapped the Demon Commander's head with full force.

Crack—

The Demon Commander's neck bone finally snapped, and the entire head spun like a top in the air for dozens of turns before it began to fall.

Black demonic blood gushed out from the severed neck. Li Zhangsheng took out a Jade Bottle, and a burst of suction force emerged, collecting all of this demonic blood without wasting a single drop.

Even after having its heart ripped out and its neck severed, the Demon Commander still did not die immediately. Its limbs were still twitching, and its head could even speak, uttering blasphemous words that Li Zhangsheng could not understand.

Of course, this was just like the threats of a bully on the verge of death; no curses or the like manifested. If it were an ordinary person or a Low-tier Monster Tamer, they might have been subjected to curses or misfortune, but Li Zhangsheng was an Emperor Rank, and blasphemous words without much power behind them were ineffective against him.

When the Demon Commander breathed its last, a small cloud of mysterious yellow mist suddenly appeared in the sky, flying toward Li Zhangsheng with lightning speed.

This was naturally the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi. Only by slaying a Demon Commander or a demon of a higher rank would one receive the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi rewarded by the Heavenly Dao.

It was just that compared to the last time he killed a Demon Commander while in the Pseudo-King realm, this time it was less than one-tenth of the previous amount.

Although the quantity was much smaller, with Li Zhangsheng's current setup, he had every opportunity to kill Demon Commanders near the Abyss Gate, and the probability was quite high.

The Xuan Kun Creation Stele could resist the Abyss Consciousness, the Ancestor Leopard-Qilin Beast was the natural nemesis of demons, the Gate of Light and Darkness purified the surrounding Demonic Qi, Ning Bizhen's Sumeru Net could provide a delay, and combined with the pursuit combination of the transformed Dijiang and Chi Dragon, ordinary Demon Commanders would likely be unable to escape even if they wanted to.

Li Zhangsheng's current strength might not be equal to some Top Kings, but when it came to the ability to kill Demon Commanders, he was likely second to none.

Li Zhangsheng did not absorb this cluster of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, continuing to store it away. As long as he accumulated enough, he could condense a Merit Golden Wheel or use it to upgrade a Strange Treasure.

Li Zhangsheng still highly valued the ability to kill without incurring karma.

What is meant by killing without incurring karma is that one does not need to worry about forming karma with the other party, and it can automatically shield the Heavenly Secrets, so that even those as noble as Emperors or Sovereigns cannot deduce it.

Such treasures are also known as Merit Treasures, though they require a massive amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi to function.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng observed the situation around him.

The demon army had long since fled, and there were not many remnants left nearby, leaving only a field of corpses, the vast majority of which were demons.

These chaotic evil creatures were best at fighting when they had the upper hand; once they encountered a crisis, they would choose to run.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Li Zhangsheng hovered quietly in the air over a hundred meters up, waiting for the return of the dragons.

The Stronger of the Hu Kingdom capital returned first. Upon seeing the corpse of the Demon Commander, the Hu Kingdom Stronger could be said to be shocked; how much time had passed, yet Li Zhangsheng had actually killed a Demon Commander.

Even if the Demon Commander was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and could only exert a portion of its strength, most Kings would not necessarily be able to finish them off.

Under these circumstances, the Hu Kingdom Stronger landed one after another, respectfully bowing to Li Zhangsheng.

Among them was also the Emperor of the Hu Kingdom.

If it were the emperor of a medium-sized country, their status would be equal to a King, but the status of an emperor of a small country was inferior to a King; this was the reality.

"Respectfully welcoming His Majesty the King of All to the Hu Kingdom!"

The Hu Kingdom Emperor was very knowledgeable; he had already recognized Li Zhangsheng's identity. After all, the few major events Li Zhangsheng had done recently had shaken the continent, and crucially, the Hu Kingdom and the Langya Kingdom were only a hundred miles apart, which meant most of these Hu Kingdom high-level officials had seen his portrait and his great achievements.

"No need for formalities!"

Li Zhangsheng flicked his sleeve and landed lightly on the ground.

"His Majesty the King of All, please enter the city for a visit. You are our benefactor; please allow me to repay my gratitude to you."

In front of Li Zhangsheng, the Hu Kingdom Emperor did not dare to refer to himself as 'I' (the lonely one).

His words were also sincere; if it weren't for Li Zhangsheng arriving in time, his fate would surely have been miserable, unable to escape the tragic end of having his corpse eaten and his soul devoured.

Li Zhangsheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, yet the Hu Kingdom Emperor's next sentence made him instantly suppress the words of refusal.

The Hu Kingdom Emperor said earnestly: "His Majesty the King of All, you may not know, but in order to recruit wandering Kings to drive away Demon Commanders, our Hu Kingdom has specifically set up generous rewards. Now that you have killed the Demon Commander, we will definitely increase the reward by one level on top of that base!"

"Then I shall enter the city for a visit."

Li Zhangsheng feigned contemplation for a moment, but in the end, he agreed. There was no reason not to take a free reward, and besides, the Hu Kingdom was rich in resources, so the reward would certainly not be bad.

Well, he was just such a worldly person.

Soon, the dragons flew back one after another; some were high-spirited, while others looked dejected. One could tell their harvest this time from their expressions.

Although demons were not as greedy for wealth as dragons, they would also consciously collect treasures. Because demons were selfish, they often carried their valuables on their persons.

Just like the Demon Commander Li Zhangsheng killed, Li Zhangsheng had obtained a Dimensional Bag from it.

The Dimensional Bag was a palm-sized pouch; its principle was the same as a Space Ring, just with a different style.
