Chapter 654: Instigating Hu Li, The Missing Demon King (1)
Liu’Er fled extremely quickly, so fast that Hu Li couldn’t stop him in time.
Besides, he didn’t want to stop him.
He had only wanted to vent his anger, not do anything to Liu’Er.
After seeing Liu’Er disappear, Hu Li slowly turned around and looked at the bow-wielding man several kilometers away.!!
The gazes of the man and the demon collided in the air, and there seemed to be sparks shooting.
“Yao Qing!” Hu Li gritted his teeth.
Although the person in front of him looked completely different from Yao Qing, the moment he saw him, Hu Li knew that this person was the previous Yao Qing!
He gritted his teeth in hatred. When he thought about how he had been played by the fake Yao Qing for so many days, he felt boundless anger.
“Demon King Hu Li, long time no see. How have you been?” Zhou Shu cupped his hands slightly from several kilometers away.
“How dare you come see me?!” Hu Li roared. “I’m going to kill you!”
A towering aura erupted from his body, and his killing intent was almost tangible.
Zhou Shu’s expression didn’t change as he smiled. “Is this how you treat your benefactor, Demon King Hu Li?”
“You’re not my benefactor! You’re a liar! You’re not Yao Qing at all!” Hu Li walked toward Zhou Shu step by step, his fists clenched tightly.
Zhou Shu shook his head slightly and continued, “Is it that important whether I’m Yao Qing or not? I’m the one who helped you break through to the Demon King realm. I’m the one who forged the Demon King Palace for you.
“As a Demon King, are you going to deceive yourself like this?
“It’s fine if you don’t want to admit it. I didn’t help you for any repayment.
“I helped you because I think you’re a good fellow. I only helped you because I thought you were pitiful.
“You’re capable of more things. You shouldn’t be just a small henchman under Demon King Ao.”
Zhou Shu’s words made Hu Li stop in his tracks, and a special feeling surged in his heart.
Hu Li was uncultured. Otherwise, a phrase would definitely appear in his mind: A gentleman dies for his bosom friend!
Although Hu Li didn’t know this, the feeling still made the killing intent on his body dissipate.
He stopped and stood in the air, looking at Zhou Shu with a complicated expression.
After a long time, Hu Li gritted his teeth and said, “Who the hell are you?”
The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly. “Let’s get to know each other again. I’m Zhou Shu from the Ten Nations Continent.”
Hu Li’s pupils constricted. “Are you the man who killed Yao Lian and led the human army into the Demon Realm?”
Before breaking through to become a Demon King, he had led an army of a million demonic beasts to encircle the human army that had entered the Demon Realm.
Unexpectedly, the army he had been besieging was beside him.
Zhou Shu nodded. “You can think of it that way.”
“Very well!” Hu Li gritted his teeth. “I wanted to kill you. Since you’ve come knocking on my door, I can complete the unfinished business!”
“Haha…” Zhou Shu suddenly laughed. He looked at Hu Li and said with interest, “Demon King Hu Li, why deceive others—no, deceive yourself? You don’t have any killing intent at all, so how will you kill us?”
Anger flashed across Hu Li’s face. “Do you think I’m joking?”
“Of course not.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “However, Demon King Hu Li, you’re no longer a vassal of Demon King Ao. There’s naturally no need to continue what you did before. Besides, I’m afraid you’re no match for me in your current state.”
“Hmph! I’m injured this time and am indeed not your match. You’re lucky. I’ll let you off this time,” Hu Li said stubbornly.
Zhou Shu couldn’t help laughing. He didn’t expect Hu Li to have such thoughts.
He smiled and said, “Demon King Hu Li, there’s no personal grudge between us. The war between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent has little to do with you.
“Now that Demon King Ao and the others have treated you like that, why are you still reluctant to leave the Demon Realm?”
“You want me to betray the Demon Realm?” Hu Li’s eyes lit up coldly. “Get lost with your men before I change my mind. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I won’t attack you!”
“Betray the Demon Realm?” Zhou Shu wasn’t nervous at all. He shook his head and said, “This is not a betrayal. The Demon Realm is not Demon King Ao’s Demon Realm, nor is it Demon King Liu’Er’s Demon Realm, nor Demon King Tiangou’s Demon Realm. The Demon Realm belongs to all demonic beasts.
“For their own selfish desires, they ignored the lives of a million demonic beasts and forcefully invaded the Ten Nations Continent.
“I want to ask you, Demon King Hu Li. What benefits will it bring to you demonic beasts to invade the Ten Nations Continent?
“In an avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. In a war, which demonic beast can escape? Even if you occupy the Ten Nations Continent, how many demonic beasts will die? And how many benefits will you all be able to obtain?”
“To put it bluntly, it won’t do you any good if you occupy the Ten Nations Continent, right? The Demon Realm is already big enough. Are you afraid that your territory won’t be enough?”
A trace of hesitation flashed across Hu Li’s face. He couldn’t respond to most of Zhou Shu’s words, but he understood something. Invading the Ten Nations Continent didn’t seem to be beneficial to him.
As Zhou Shu said, the Demon Realm was vast. If he wanted territory, there were plenty of places. He didn’t need to invade the Ten Nations Continent at all.
He had never thought carefully about why they were invading the Ten Nations Continent.
In any case, the Demon Kings had ordered an attack on the Ten Nations Continent, so they would just do as they were told.
Now that Zhou Shu said this, Hu Li suddenly realized that invading the Ten Nations Continent didn’t seem to be really beneficial to him.
Killing and pillaging?
There was no sense of achievement in killing some weaklings. As for plundering, the gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons of the human race were useless to him.
