Chapter 173 - 173 I Am the Star in the Sky!
Niu Mang stomped his feet fiercely, causing cracks on the ground. He exhaled two thick breaths of air from his nose and snorted unhappily. “Ying Chengpeng, do you have skills or not? If you don’t, go home and lay eggs!”
“Stupid ox, if you hadn’t said so much nonsense and attacked faster, would this fellow be able to escape?” The Golden Roc demon king snorted sulkily as well.
“Bah! I clearly said that it’s better to approach in secret and launch a sneak attack on this fellow from behind. In the end, you couldn’t hold back the moment you came up and got discovered. How can you blame me?” Niu Mang stood on the lightning and replied gutsily.
“That’s because you stupid ox went to gnaw on a peony by the roadside when we approached Sky Snake. That’s why I reminded you not to make any noise!” the Golden Roc demon king shouted angrily.
“You don’t understand. I chewed on the peony to prepare my state of mind in order to better deal with the battle ahead. You’re the one who ruined it!”
The more the Green-eyed Thunder Ox spoke, the angrier he became. Suddenly, he stomped his feet fiercely, causing even more cracks to appear on the ground. The cracks even extended to where Feng Xia was standing and he had no choice but to dodge.
Through the conversation between the two demon kings, Feng Xia roughly figured out three things.
First of all, Ying Chengpeng had indeed chased after the fake incarnation created by Feng Xia as they had intended. However, what Feng Xia did not expect was that Ying Chengpeng brought another demon king along with him. As a result, the power produced by the self-destruction of the fake incarnation did not seriously injure Ying Chengpeng. It only injured the two demon kings to a certain extent.
From this point alone, it was obvious that Feng Xia and the rest were still far weaker than the demon kings if they had to go head-on.
The dozens of divine powers accumulated by the three Primal Core Realm cultivators, coupled with the advantage of a surprise attack, failed to kill even one demon king in the end, and only managed to injure the Golden Roc demon king!
As for the Sky Snake demon king from earlier, its involvement was a complete accident.
“I deliberately left all kinds of clues at Big Black Peak to mislead Ying Chengpeng. It seemed that he did get fooled by it. The only thing I didn’t expect is that there really is a demon king who happens to match all the clues I left behind!”
What made Feng Xia caught between laughter and tears was that the way Ying Chengpeng and Niu Mang traveled in such a high-profile manner had alarmed too many powerful demon beasts along the way. Even the Sky Snake demon king got wind of it and suspected that the two of them were chasing after some extraordinary treasure!
After all, they were on opposing sides. Even if it could not snatch the treasure from them, it was happy to stir up trouble and make it difficult for them.
In the beginning, Ying Chengpeng and Niu Mang were in front while the Sky Snake demon king chased after them. When Ying Chengpeng discovered the aura of the fake incarnation and turned around, he bumped into the Sky Snake demon king by coincidence.
Then, the fake incarnation created by Feng Xia… exploded at this exact moment!
Feng Xia thought about it. If he was the Golden Roc demon king, he would not have cared about such “iron evidence” in front of him. Of course, he would just charge forward without any hesitation!
In the heat of the moment, both sides immediately started fighting. They were all already injured, and the Sky Snake demon king was especially confused. From the beginning to the end, it did not know what had happened. When it regained its senses, it was already severely injured!
If not for the fact that it had many tricks up its sleeves and an extremely strange toxin at its disposal, it might have already died.
This was also why when it met Feng Xia, it was almost smashed into paralysis by Feng Xia’s Eight Notes of the Celestial Dragon and could not take care of itself.
At that time, the Sky Snake demon king was already severely injured and its strength was not even at 30% of its usual self!
Even so, it still managed to cast off everything and shed a layer of dead skin before escaping!
“And the third and last thing…”
Looking at the two demon kings who argued endlessly, mocked and yet helped each other, and spoke about being each other’s biological fathers, Feng Xia’s jaw dropped. It was only at this moment that he realized a crucial problem…
“Does Ying Chengpeng not know that I’m the one who killed his son and his incarnation?” Feng Xia had a strange thought.
If he thought about it carefully, it seemed that Ying Chengpeng had not seen his face before.
Moreover, even if he did, Feng Xia had already used the Mysterious Art of Creation to change his appearance and aura. If Ying Chengpeng could still recognize him in his current form, he would gladly become Ying Chengpeng’s father!
“This is going to be fun.”
“Fellow practitioner, how should I address you?”
Finally, the two demon kings took note of Feng Xia’s existence. After snorting coldly, they barely managed to stop arguing and cast curious gazes at Feng Xia.
“You won’t know even if I tell you.” Feng Xia shook his head calmly.
“Oh? Since we don’t know, we want to hear it even more.” Ying Chengpeng laughed loudly. The light in his eagle eyes moved slightly as he sized up Feng Xia from head to toe. “I see that fellow practitioner’s strength is quite outstanding even among the lords. I believe you’re not far from the king level.”
Being a king among the demon beast lords and being a king in the Xuanwu Kingdom were two completely different concepts.
Since ancient times, there could be only 10 demon kings in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
The other demon beast lords had to submit to these kings. The rest could at most earn the title of “quasi-king”. Moreover, there were not many quasi-kings and everyone knew who they were.
Feng Xia’s strength was still far from even a quasi-king, but because he had acted so mysteriously, Ying Chengpeng naturally wanted to test him.
“An old ox’s unpleasant words, I’m going to say it first.”
The Green-eyed Thunder Ox, Niu Mang, snorted and spoke with a strange sentence structure. Then he said bullishly, “Although you also attacked just now, you did not manage to stop Sky Snake. So it’s impossible if you want us to thank you!”
Feng Xia smiled. “I understand.”
The old ox still did not feel too happy. “A shifty fellow who doesn’t even dare to show his real face. I wonder if you’re Sky Snake’s accomplice! Otherwise, how could you just let that fellow escape?”
There was only one word to describe this kind of thinking process—
Awesome!
Or should it be Oxsome…
“Stupid ox, if you don’t know how to speak properly, then shut up!” The Golden Roc demon king flapped his wings and smashed the Green-eyed Thunder Bull into the ground. Then, he turned around and smiled. “However, we did indeed face a common enemy together. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we have gone through thick and thin together. Can’t fellow practitioner show us your real face?”
Feng Xia still shook his head firmly and sighed in a profound and lonely manner. “You don’t know this, but I was originally a star in the sky. I fell on Mount Canglan due to an accident. For generations, I watched the rise and fall of the galaxy from afar. I witnessed the changes of the eras. After countless years of receiving nourishment from spiritual energy, I finally develop my own consciousness in this life.”
He took a deep breath. There was an indescribable loneliness in his tone of voice. “What both of you are seeing now is my original face. How can you say that I hide my real face?”
“I have given myself a name.”
Feng Xia, who was shrouded in starlight, carefully activated the divine ability of the Galaxy Spiritual Body (Incomplete) and smiled leisurely.
“You can call me…”
“Starbucks.”
