Chapter 973: The Demon Sovereigns Descend! Confrontation!
"Damn that non-specialist!"
The ten Demon Sovereigns of the Ten Thousand Demons moved out simultaneously.
Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign stood in midair, watching the Heavenly Demon Capital covered and wrapped in countless vines, feeling the crazed depletion of magical energy, and couldn't help but let out a low growl.
Beside him, the Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign radiated multicolored divine light, making him appear like a deity.
But the countless human faces all over his body wore eerie and blissful smiles, giving an utterly horrifying impression.
The Judgment Demon Sovereign carried a massive battle axe on his back.
The axe was inscribed with pitch-black demonic runes, emanating an overwhelmingly sharp aura, as if nothing could escape being cleaved under his judgment.
"Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign, you handle Azure Dragon Meng Zhang on the front lines. Leave that non-specialist to me—I'll execute him myself!"
The Judgment Demon Sovereign's massive figure radiated explosive power, his pitch-black demon body coiled in blazing demonic flames. He looked like he couldn't wait to chop that non-specialist down with a single swing.
"No..."
"Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign should go with you."
"That non-specialist can't be underestimated. Even Phoenix Flame Demon Sovereign fell to him."
Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign spoke gravely.
It seemed he was cautious.
He had already thoroughly researched Ling Zhan's background.
After gathering intel on Ling Zhan, he realized this non-specialist was no pushover!
At the very least, even Demon Sovereigns of the Ten Thousand Demons couldn't kill each other easily.
But Ling Zhan had killed Phoenix Flame Demon Sovereign.
That alone was enough to make them raise their guard.
"The rest of you come with me to the front lines and stall Azure Dragon Meng Zhang's assault, or else this magic barrier won't last even half an hour with the current energy drain..."
Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign clearly held command authority here.
Neither Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign nor Judgment Demon Sovereign objected to his plan.
The other seven Demon Sovereigns nodded as well.
These seven were newly promoted, having only recently reached level 190 and passed the Demon Sovereign Trial to earn the title.
In fact…
The title of Demon Sovereign was equivalent in status to a world-class title among Professionals.
Important note…
Reaching level 190 didn't automatically make you a Demon Sovereign.
Level 190 was just the threshold.
You had to pass the Demon Sovereign Trial to earn the title.
"Alright! Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign, come with me—we'll rip that non-specialist's head clean off!"
Judgment Demon Sovereign hefted the black rune axe from his back and spoke with heavy menace.
Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign nodded slowly.
It's worth mentioning…
Both of them had glorious records of killing world-class powerhouses.
Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign had even devoured a famous Sword God.
Previously…
During battles against the allied forces of various kingdoms, both Ten Thousand Blades and Judgment Demon Sovereigns had wreaked havoc. Many class-advanced warriors died by their hands.
Moreover…
The Sword God he devoured had all his swordsmanship forcefully assimilated by Ten Thousand Blades using a devouring technique.
And Judgment Demon Sovereign's instant-kill judgment had become the nightmare of countless Professionals.
If it hit, you died instantly!
No explanations, no exceptions!
Enemies killed by this judgment had their power and memories absorbed by him.
That was one major reason these two Demon Sovereigns had grown so strong.
War as nourishment!
Enemies as fuel for the forge!
All to strengthen themselves!
With their roles decided…
Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign led the seven new Demon Sovereigns to the front lines to stall Azure Dragon Meng Zhang.
And also clear out the bizarre vines creeping over the entire Heavenly Demon Capital.
Meanwhile, Ten Thousand Blades and Judgment Demon Sovereigns flew straight out in search of the non-specialist, determined to kill him here and now.
...…
...…
At that moment…
Outside the Heavenly Demon Capital…
Watching the city covered in vines and quaking nonstop, the Demon-Slaying and Amethyst Legion members couldn't help but gulp, utterly shocked.
One man, one army!
He was truly a one-man army!
Commander Ling Zhan was storming the city solo!
And his siege was actually working!
You could tell just by the faces of the Ten Thousand Demons soldiers on the walls—screaming frantically in panic.
They were panicking.
Seriously panicking.
What did that mean?
It meant Ling Zhan's siege was hitting hard!
Watching the trembling city, all the legion members were overwhelmed with awe.
"This…"
"Insane! Completely insane! How is he doing this solo?!"
"Back when General Aivina said even if we all retreated, Commander Ling Zhan could make the Ten Thousand Demons wail on his own—I didn't believe it. Now I completely do!"
"It's just ridiculous!"
"Are non-specialists this terrifying in the late game?!"
The members were completely stunned.
One man bringing down a city!
"Wait! Look over there!"
"Looks like two figures are coming out!"
"That's…"
"Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign and Judgment Demon Sovereign!"
Someone cried out in alarm.
As soon as the words landed…
The members' expressions changed instantly.
They knew those two Demon Sovereigns very well.
Among the Ten Thousand Demons, these two were among the most powerful.
They could take on even two world-class powerhouses alone and not lose.
Seeing them leave the city now, it was obvious—they were coming for Commander Ling Zhan!
The vines that had previously resisted destruction were now being effortlessly sliced apart by the two Demon Sovereigns.
"Non-specialist! Get out here and die!"
Judgment Demon Sovereign roared mightily.
Demonic might surged violently, and even from a distance, the Demon-Slaying and Amethyst Legions felt suffocating pressure.
Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign stood in midair, his crimson eyes sweeping the landscape.
Finally…
He spotted a tiny figure on the plains, like an ant.
"There!"
Without careful sensing, you wouldn't even notice him.
Like meteors streaking across the sky, the two Demon Sovereigns shot forth—BOOM—landing right in front of Ling Zhan.
Even though Ling Zhan stood at 1.9 meters tall, in front of these five-meter-tall Demon Sovereigns, he still seemed small.
And yet, his expression remained calm, completely unshaken.
