"What's your name?" Lan Ling asked.
"Di Pang!" the new Demon Sage Death Warrior replied.
Lan Ling was shocked. "A member of the Tian Sha Royal Family?"
The Demon Sage Death Warrior fell silent for a moment before saying, "My bloodline has nothing to do with Iceman. I am the youngest son of the late King."
So that was the case. Lan Ling asked, "Then do you hate the current Tian Sha King? Do you hate Iceman? "
The Demon Sage Death Warrior shook his head. "No, I don't. It was because we brought Iceman into the royal family that the Tian Sha Royal Family became so powerful and the overlord of the Southern Wilderness. Any royal family must have a forgiving heart. Only by doing so can they continue to grow stronger. "
These words surprised Lan Ling. It was no wonder that he was so loyal to the Tian Sha Crown Prince and even risked his life to protect him, even though he was the Crown Prince's elder.
Moreover, Di Pang's willpower was not suppressed at all. He still had free will.
There was only one situation where a Death Warrior's willpower would not be suppressed, and that was if they were loyal to the Demon Emperor.
After Elder Mokan had been devoured by Lan Ling, he had become a Death Warrior and had been loyal to Lan Ling without any obstacles. This was because he had obtained the Demon Blood's ancient memories and saw a brighter future. He had no other choice.
The reason why Di Pang was loyal to Lan Ling without any obstacles was because of his tolerance.
He had also seen the future from the Golden Demon Blood's ancient memories. However, it was not his future, but the future of the entire Demon Race.
He could accept the Iceman bloodline entering the Tian Sha Royal Family for the sake of the overall situation. His willingness to be loyal to Lan Ling was also for the sake of the overall situation. From the Golden Demon Blood's ancient memories, Di Pang felt that Lan Ling could better represent the Demon Race's interests and benefit their future.
Therefore, he had chosen to be loyal to Lan Ling!
Unexpectedly, he, who had not said a word, was actually an idealist like the Young Rakshasa King Tang.
But thinking about it, it was normal. Many of the descendants of the late king had been purged by the Heaven Killer King. Not only had Di Pang not been purged, but he had been put in an important position. It could be seen that the Heaven Killer King knew him very well and trusted him!
Lan Ling patted him on the shoulder and said, "I believe you and the Tangs will have a lot in common."
The Tang man was on the side, and when he saw Lan Ling appear, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the entire Flame Demon City was handed over to Lan Ling unscathed. Finally, the authority to command the entire situation was returned to Lan Ling.
Lan Ling said, "Everyone, the battle of the Balrog Empire is half won! But a journey of a hundred li is half done. Whether it was Di Jun or Na Xue, they would not give up so easily. I believe the next battle will be even more dangerous and terrifying. "
"Fortunately, I have returned with 5,000 Death Warriors, and our forces have grown tremendously. We have 40 more Demon Supremacies and nearly 2,000 Demon Grandmasters. Therefore, the power of the Hell Demon Formation in the Flame Demon City has doubled. "
"Recover your strength, focus, and wait for the next round of battle!"
Eight hours later.
The 18 Heaven Killer Demon Supremacies that had been devoured by the blood-sucking Demon Supremacies recovered their flesh and blood. They all opened their eyes, sat up, and knelt in front of Lan Ling. They kowtowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Demon Emperor."
From then on, the Flame Demon Empire had four Demon Saints, one hundred Demon Venerables, one hundred and sixty-three Demon Venerables, two thousand and one hundred Demon Grandmasters, and fourteen thousand Demon Martial Masters.
…
In the Sky Palace of the Na Xue Army on the surface of the sea!
She sat quietly on the Viper Throne and did not say a word.
The Blood-sucking Demon Race's scout had already told her everything about Di Jun's defeat. He did not leave out any details, nor did he defend Di Jun.
She was very shocked, but she did not show it.
She was not surprised that Lan Ling had announced the establishment of the Flame Demon Empire in the dueling arena, abandoning the position of Rakshasa King like it was an old shoe.
She was not surprised that Lan Ling had used the Doomsday Weapon to erase the Fire Demon Mountain from the world.
But today, she was really shocked.
The Balrog Empire had actually used a super weapon that killed 1,000 top-notch martial artists at once. Two concentrated attacks had killed Demon Lord Zhong Lou and Fire Demon Lord.
Such a super weapon was too terrifying!
It had given Na Xue an unprecedented shock. She had to re-evaluate Lan Ling.
But now, Na Xue immediately understood why the million-strong Skeleton Corps had appeared on the southern sea and blocked the path of Na Xue Army. That was not a coincidence. Instead, it was Lan Ling's plan.
His goal was very simple. He wanted to restrain Na Xue and prevent her from going south to reinforce Di Jun.
The Skeleton Corps and Lan Ling must have made some sort of agreement.
If the Skeleton Corps and Lan Ling had really made some sort of agreement, it would be a good thing. At least, it would mean that the commander of the Skeleton Corps was not a madman, but a rational person. Otherwise, he would not have made such an agreement with Lan Ling.
From the agreement, it could be seen that the Skeleton Corps was willing to help Lan Ling, but they were not willing to sacrifice too much for him. Otherwise, the Skeleton Corps would not have needed to do anything. They could have just laid in ambush near the Flame Demon City and waited for Di Jun's Blood-sucking Demon Army to arrive.
This meant that the commander of the Skeleton Corps was actually not willing to be enemies with Na Xue, let alone fight with her.
That was definitely good news!
Then, Princess Na Xue asked again, "When the battle started, were you there?"
The scout replied, "Yes."
Princess Na Xue said, "Tell me what happened in detail."
The scout once again recounted the battle in great detail, even more so than the description of tens of thousands of words. He explained every single detail clearly.
After listening, Na Xue continued to ponder. Then, she said, "Are you sure that the Balrog Empire's killing machine has two modes? One is the condensed mode, and it killed Chong Lou and the fire demon in two attacks? The other is the spread mode, and it killed over 1,000 top-notch martial artists in one attack? "
The scout replied, "Yes!"
Princess Na Xue fell into deep thought again. She remained motionless for a quarter of an hour.
After a quarter of an hour, Princess Na Xue raised her head and said, "I understand."
Seeing that the scout was still kneeling on the ground, Princess Na Xue said, "Go back and tell Di Jun that I trust him completely. He knows what to do!"
The scout was still listening attentively, waiting for Princess Na Xue's next order.
Princess Na Xue said, "I trust him completely. Even without me, he can still take down the entire Balrog Empire. Lan Ling's secret killing machine is worthless. It's just a strategic blackmail! "
Seeing that Princess Na Xue had no other orders, the scout replied, "Yes, I'll take my leave now. I'll pass on Your Highness's words to Di Jun."
If Di Jun's attack hadn't been thwarted, or even failed miserably, Princess Na Xue would have immediately gone south to support him.
But now that Di Jun was defeated, Na Xue really couldn't go to support him. She couldn't even go to the battlefield. Because that would be an unparalleled blow to Di Jun's prestige. She had to climb back up from where she fell.
For Di Jun's prestige and dignity, for his self-confidence, Na Xue decided not to appear again.
She cared about Di Jun very much. The two grew up together. Di Jun even betrayed his family for her, and even lost the title of vampire royalty. In Na Xue's eyes, Di Jun was her only family.
Moreover, she saw through Lan Ling's so-called mysterious killing machine. She believed that Di Jun also saw through it. He definitely had a way to find its flaws and break it.
She had absolute confidence in Di Jun.
…
The scout hadn't returned yet, nor had he passed on Princess Na Xue's words. But Di Jun had already come out of the water.
He thought about it for a few hours, considering every detail clearly. He rejected every possibility and finally found the most correct answer.
The so-called secret killing machine of the Balrog Empire was completely a strategic blackmail.
It could kill a Demon Sage expert with two attacks. A large-scale attack could kill thousands of top-notch warriors. It seemed extremely terrifying.
In reality, it was nothing. It was just condensing the energy of countless death warriors and blasting it out.
It was like combining countless firecrackers and turning them into a super big firecracker. The actual total energy didn't change, and there was even some loss and reduction. However, the effect seemed shocking, and it could completely intimidate the enemy.
That was because the energy level of that super killing machine was still at the peak of the Demon Sage level, which was the cultivation level of the Young Rakshasa King.
It was very easy to break Lan Ling's super killing machine.
All that was needed was a King Arthur level expert!
If he wasn't wrong, Lan Ling's so-called secret weapon should be a super energy formation that could condense the energy of countless Death Warrior Regiments together, and then explode them out.
The reason why Lan Ling could succeed was that the Blood-sucking Demon Legion and the 18 Demon Sages were not united. If they were united, the Balrog Empire would have been defeated long ago.
It was very easy to defeat the Balrog Empire now. They just had to destroy that energy formation or energy tower.
How could they destroy that energy formation or energy tower? It was very simple. They only needed Di Jun to do it himself.
As there were no King Arthur level experts in the Flame Demon City, the highest energy level of that super killing machine was only a peak Demon Sage. It would never be able to kill a King Arthur level expert.
Then, things would be simple. Di Jun would rush in and destroy that energy formation or energy tower. Then, the 100,000 Blood-sucking Demon Legion would charge in and destroy the Flame Demon City in a few hours. They would be able to kill all of Lan Ling's death warriors.
Di Jun rushed out of the water and said to the 16 Demon Sages, "The Blood-sucking Demon Legion will gather again and attack the Flame Demon City for the last time."
The expressions of the 16 Devil Sage Venerables changed slightly when they heard this.
They really didn't want to fight. The secret weapon of the Flame Demon City was too terrifying. It could kill a Demon Sage with two attacks. It was too dangerous.
Di Ming said, "I will personally destroy that super killing machine of the Flame Demon City. After confirming that weapon is no longer powerful, you can go down and attack the Flame Demon City!"
As soon as he said that, the 16 Devil Sage powerhouses immediately bowed and said, "Understood!"
…
Inside the Flame Demon City.
The battle of the Flame Demon City was as expected, but it was also different.
It was because the Blood-sucking Demon Legion had indeed fled. In fact, they fled even earlier than Lan Ling had expected.
It was different because the retreat was only temporary.
Di Ming was cunning and smart. When the 16 Demon Sages led the Blood-sucking Demon Legion in fleeing, he didn't say a word. Thus, the tragedy of the Blood-sucking Demon Legion being scattered was avoided.
Moreover, they didn't go far. Instead, they continued to gather on the surface of the sea 150 kilometers away. They seemed to intend to make a comeback.
As such, the worst possible outcome was about to happen.
Whether it was Na Xue or Di Ming, both might be able to see through the Balrog Empire's Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation!
The so-called pseudo-hell Demon Condensing Formation wasn't real. It didn't create a powerful energy weapon out of thin air. It was merely the most basic condensation of energy.
Once it was seen through, it would be easy to destroy it.
As long as Di Ming personally came to destroy the energy tower of the Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation, everything would be over.
What was certain was that the Balrog Empire didn't have the power to stop Di Ming.
After all, King Arthur was too powerful. In particular, he was a Blood-sucking Royalty with an undying body.
It could be said that Lan Ling's Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation couldn't harm him at all!
In Beining City, the Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation formed by 7,000 Death Warriors couldn't even kill a One Life Demon Saint. Di Pang fell into Lan Ling's hands because he exhausted his Bloodline Mana to protect the Tiansha Crown Prince.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Beining City's Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation to harm Di Pang or capture him.
Therefore, it would be impossible for Fiery Demon City's Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation to harm Di Pang, who was at the level of King Arthur. This was because the energy that the Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation could shoot out was no higher than a Demon Saint.
If Di Ming was allowed to destroy the energy tower of the Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation, there would only be one outcome for Lan Ling.
The Death Warriors would be completely destroyed, and the Balrog Empire would be completely destroyed.
Once the Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation was destroyed, the legion of Blood-sucking Demons would naturally have no scruples and attack the Balrog Empire like crazy. As long as there was no threat of death, the 16 Demon Saints would be very brave in battle.
Even if Lan Ling's strength was expanded, it would only be a fraction of Di Ming's legion of Blood-sucking Demons. Without the deterrence of the Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation, Lan Ling's Death Warriors and Gold Warriors would definitely be defeated, and the Balrog Empire would definitely be destroyed.
Di Ming and the legion of Blood-sucking Demons stayed on the eastern sea 150 miles away. The longer they stayed, the worse the situation became.
Suddenly, an Infernal Warrior reported.
Di Ming rushed out of the sea and issued a new order to the legion of Blood-sucking Demons. Then, he started to head towards Fiery Demon City.
As expected, the worst situation had occurred.
If they did not reverse the situation, the Balrog Empire would be destroyed!
Everyone looked at Lan Ling, the Tang people, Shui Hongshao, and even Elder Mo Kan and Saintly Demon Emperor Pang.
Time was very tight.
If they did not reverse the situation, if they did not think of a way to deal with King Arthur, once the energy tower was destroyed, the Balrog Empire would be destroyed!
Lan Ling looked at Fire Demon Venerable and Demon Venerable Zhong Lou, who had turned into pieces.
Then, he looked at the crazy Ghoul Corpse!
An extremely crazy idea came into his mind!
An extremely dangerous idea came into his mind!
It was really putting him on the brink of death!
Once this crazy plan was executed, if it failed, Lan Ling's Death Warrior Group would be destroyed by itself even without Di Jun's help. The energy tower of the Pseudo-Hell Demon Condensing Formation would be destroyed, and the Balrog Empire would be destroyed.
If they succeeded, not only would they be able to prevent this crisis, but … they would also be able to capture the King Arthur level expert, Di Ming!
What would happen if they captured a King Arthur? Lan Ling was extremely excited just thinking about it!
Capture Di Ming!
