"How dare you …"
Kong Wei let out a roar of grief and indignation, but his figure paused for a moment.
This pause slowed his speed, and the other Peacock clansmen overtook him and rushed forward.
"You deserve to die!"
Kong Lu's father, Kong Lin, was furious. With red eyes, he stretched out his hand and slapped Lang Kui's head fiercely.
Lang Kui was only at the Early-stage of Demon King, while Kong Lin was at the Late-stage of Demon King. There was a gap of a small realm between them, and this slap was launched in anger. If it really hit Lang Kui, even if he did not die, he would definitely be seriously injured.
But Lang Kui was not in a hurry. He shouted coldly, "Defend!"
The next moment, the twelve Wolf Guards beside him moved. Their scimitars were instantly unsheathed at an incredible speed. They flickered with a dazzling and terrifying blade light, forming a shield-like blade net in front of Lang Kui. They actually forcefully dissolved Kong Lin's furious attack.
The twelve Wolf Guards did not move at all. They neatly sheathed their scimitars, but they exuded a murderous aura. Their hands were on the hilts of their scimitars, ready to launch the next attack at any time.
Thud thud thud!
Kong Lin was forced to retreat more than a dozen steps before he could stand firm. The blood in his body surged, and a sickly flush appeared on his face. It took him a long time to return to normal.
His pupils contracted violently, and his face was full of shock and doubt. He looked at the twelve Wolf Guards who were like clay sculptures in disbelief, unable to understand what was going on.
He was sure that he was not mistaken. These Wolf Guards were only at the Early and Middle Great Demon Realm. In his eyes, they were existences that could be destroyed at any time. How could they join forces and almost seriously injure him? It was simply incredible.
But he did not know that these ten thousand Wolf Guards were experienced in battles and had already cultivated a murderous aura. Now, they were willing to follow Ding Ning. With Ding Ning's protective nature, how could he mistreat them?
So what if their cultivation was low? Ding Ning was a Divine Array Master. In the past month, he had taught them many battle formations and joint attacks. The Wolf Guards respected him as if he was a deity and trained very hard. This defensive battle formation was just a small test. If Lang Kui had not asked them to only defend and not use the killing formation, Kong Lin would have been a dead man at this moment.
Ding Ning, who had been paying attention to all this with his Divine Awareness, had a strange look in his eyes. How could Kong Wei's seemingly obscure action hide from him? He immediately understood that Kong Wei wanted to kill him with a borrowed knife.
He had long heard that Third Kong and Fourth Kong were fighting over the position of the Peacock Clan's temporary Patriarch, and now it seemed that the rumors were true. Kong Lu had great ambition but little talent, and he was arrogant and despotic. Third Kong had sent him here, perhaps he had already predicted this scene.
Elder Kong was in a closed-door training, and Elder Kong was in Nirvana. Once these two came out of closed-door training, they would at least be in the Half-step Pericelestial Realm, and it was not impossible for them to break through to the Pericelestial Realm.
According to the rules of the monster race, once the leader breaks through the demi-pericelestial level, he or she will have to step down as the leader.
Take the Winged Tribe's Patriarch for example. Although his words carried enormous weight in the Winged Tribe, he did not hold the position of Patriarch of the Winged Tribe. The Patriarch was Peng Tianao.
Therefore, there was a high chance that the position of Patriarch of the Peacock Tribe would be vacant, which attracted the coveting of qualified successors. Kong Wei and Kong Lin were undoubtedly the most promising candidates to succeed the position of Patriarch.
If it was in the past, the position of Patriarch might not be worth it for the two brothers to turn against each other. However, ever since the Peacock Tribe settled in the Thousand Demon City, it seemed that they were on equal footing with the Winged Tribe. The position of Patriarch had become very popular, and everyone coveted it.
After all, after settling in the Thousand Demon City, the position of Patriarch had risen. He was no longer just a simple Patriarch, but an overlord who held the power of life and death in the Thousand Demon Tribe.
The temptation of power was intoxicating, so it was not surprising that Kong Wei did not care about his blood and kinship to eradicate his dissidents.
Ding Ning sighed softly, and he felt sad for the Peacock Tribe.
"All of you, go to hell!"
When Kong Lin saw his beloved son lying motionless on the ground, covered in blood, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Even his eyes turned red. He could no longer be afraid of the Wolf Cavalry, who had defeated the stronger ones. He shouted at the top of his lungs, and his Blood Qi surged around him. A terrifying pressure filled the air, forming an extremely solid shadow of a Blood Peacock above his head, and viciously attacking Lang Kui.
In the face of such a terrifying attack, Lang Kui knew that defense alone would not be able to stop it. With a gloomy expression, he shouted, "Break!"
The Twelve Wolf Guards shouted in unison, and their Blood Qi surged wildly, forming twelve ferocious giant wolf shadows in the air. Although they were very illusory and far less powerful than the Blood Peacock, the twelve wolf shadows quickly merged together, forming a shadow of a wolf with an aura no weaker than the Blood Peacock. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced at the Blood Peacock.
Boom!
The Blood Peacock and the shadow of the wolf offset each other, and a terrifying wave of Qi surged, causing the Twelve Wolf Cavalry to fall back. They spat out blood, and their auras quickly weakened. However, their backs remained straight, and there was an unyielding look in their eyes.
Although Kong Lin was surprised that the Twelve Great Demon Level Wolf Guards could block his magical power, he saw that their auras were weakened, and knew that they had no more strength to fight. He immediately grinned and said, "I want to see how many moves you can block."
An even more solid shadow of the Blood Peacock condensed again, and the terrifying pressure caused the Twelve Wolf Guards to spit out blood again. However, they glared angrily at Kong Lin, and madly circulated the Blood Qi in their bodies, wanting to join forces to attack again.
"Retreat!"
Lang Kui's expression changed, and he shouted harshly. He knew that although the Wolf Guards could barely launch another attack, they would definitely be heavily injured, and it was even possible that they would die.
"Commander …"
The Twelve Wolf Guards shouted unwillingly.
"Alright, you guys have been in the limelight enough. It's time for us to perform."
Lang Yuan's teasing voice rang out, and over a hundred Wolf Guards strode over, blocking their way. Their terrifying Blood Qi quickly condensed into over a hundred giant wolf shadows in the air, and then fused together to form a shadow of a wolf that was hundreds of feet tall. The Blood Peacock, which was several feet tall, appeared incomparably small in comparison to the shadow of the wolf.
Kong Lin's expression changed drastically, and he madly circulated the power of his Blood Qi. The lifelike Blood Peacock rapidly expanded, but it paled in comparison to the shadow of the wolf.
"Destroy!"
Lang Kui's expression was calm, and he shouted in a deep voice.
Aowuu!
The seemingly solid shadow of the wolf raised its head and let out a long howl. Like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, it slapped the Blood Peacock into nothingness.
Pu!
Kong Lin was severely injured. He took a few steps back and sat on the ground. Blood gushed out from his mouth like it was free, and he was instantly covered in blood.
The scene fell into a deathly silence. Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief. Kong Lin was a late-stage Daemon King expert. Although he wasn't at the peak of the Daemon Kings, he was still a top-notch expert among the second-rank experts. Yet, he was heavily injured by over a hundred Wolf Guards of the Great Daemon Level, and they were obviously holding back. This subversive scene made everyone speechless, and a chill rose in their hearts.
One should know that the Governor's Office had over ten thousand Wolf Riders. If they were all so terrifying, who else in the entire Myriad Demon Territory could fight against them?
"Who else?"
Over a hundred Wolf Guards straightened their backs and stood with their heads held high. Their faces were filled with undisguised eagerness as they challenged the Peacock Clan. So what if they were Daemon Kings?
When the Lord taught them battle formations, he had said that the number of Wolf Riders should not exceed ten thousand. Over ten thousand Wolf Riders could easily kill a peak-stage Daemon King, and they could even fight against a Half-step Pericelestial Realm expert. What could a mere late-stage Daemon King do to them?
At this moment, more and more people came to watch the show after hearing the news. The Peacock Race was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. They were pointing at the side, full of schadenfreude. During this period of time, the Peacock Race was extremely arrogant and despotic. Everyone was happy to see them suffer.
The higher-ups of the Peacock Clan all had ugly expressions on their faces. Their hearts were filled with sorrow. Even Kong Lin, who was one of the strongest among them, was instantly injured. What good could they do if they went up?
Listening to the discussions around him, Kong Wei felt his face burning. His chest was heaving up and down violently. It was clear that his heart was not calm. He originally hoped that Kong Lin would die here, so that his position as the Patriarch would be secured.
However, he didn't expect that Ding Ning didn't even need to make a move, and these Wolf Guards were already able to injure Kong Lin. Furthermore, they didn't kill him. Kong Lin only needed to recuperate for a period of time, and he would still be his biggest threat.
In this way, not only did Kong Wei's plan fail, but he, as the temporary Patriarch, also had to come out and clean up this mess.
At this time, if he still didn't stand up, the Peacock Clan's face would be completely lost. He immediately braced himself and stepped forward, saying coldly, "Is this how the Governor's Office treats its guests?"
"If a friend comes, there will be good wine. If a jackal comes, there will be a hunting rifle to welcome him."
Ding Ning's nondescript voice drifted over.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was a hunting rifle?
However, they could all hear the hostility in Ding Ning's words. He didn't show any mercy to the Peacock Clan.
The Wolf Riders felt very awkward. Lord, although we are not jackals, we are still wolves. From what you said, it seems that we are also not welcome here.
"Ahem, what I mean is, those who have ill intentions towards my Governor's Office are all dead, dead."
Ding Ning also felt that this popular lyric didn't seem to fit the situation here, so he awkwardly explained so that the Wolf Riders wouldn't get the wrong idea and develop feelings that they shouldn't have.
One had to know that the current situation in the Myriad Demon Territory was very delicate. As the Governor, he had become a unique existence. He had made many contributions and completely suppressed Peng Tianao, but he didn't become the Patriarch of the Winged Clan.
In fact, this was an agreement that he had reached with the Winged Clan's ancestor in private. He was just a passerby and had no intention of fighting for power in the Myriad Demon Territory. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he, the greatest contributor, didn't become the Patriarch. Moreover, he was about to marry Peng Tianao's ex-fiancee. This made people's imaginations run wild.
They felt that he must have had an affair with the Winged Clan, which was why he established his own clan and lived alone in the Governor's Office.
The eight newly ascended clans all had their own private armies of millions of soldiers. Only he, the Governor, only had a pitiful ten thousand Wolf Riders to keep up appearances. It seemed that he was being ostracized.
Although the news that Ding Ning was about to marry the beauties of the four clans had spread like wildfire, marriage was useless in the face of benefits. This made people even more suspicious and gossipy.
Although Kong Wei was the acting Patriarch of the Peacock Clan, he wasn't a member of the Alliance Parliament. He was relatively uninformed and didn't know the attitudes of the clans toward Ding Ning.
This time, he deliberately sent Kong Lu to create trouble. On one hand, he wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Kong Lin, who was a big threat. On the other hand, he also wanted to test the Alliance Parliament's attitude toward Ding Ning.
Up until now, no one from the Alliance Parliament had shown up. This gave Kong Wei the misconception that he had seen through the thoughts of these Alliance Parliament members. They must not be used to this arrogant brat, which was why they had not shown up yet. They wanted to use Kong Wei's hand to suppress this brat who was overshadowed by his achievements.
