The Soul-Devouring Rat King was the most low-key and mysterious of the four Demon Kings. He usually lived in seclusion in the Northern Plains. Even if something big happened in the Demon Race, he would not easily show himself.
Yi Tian had heard of him when he was in the Southern Border. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet him. The other three Demon Kings were lucky enough to meet him. Especially the Thousand Eagle King. He had been invited to visit the Ascension Platform where the Thousand Eagle King had once trapped his beast. Although it was only the second choice, he knew that the Li Huo Clan must have set up the Ascension Platform there for a reason.
Although he couldn't figure it out, it didn't mean it wasn't important. On the contrary, the Thousand Eagle King, the leader of the four Demon Kings, was stationed there to prove that it was a very important place.
Although the Sky Pillar Demon King had never met him personally, he had heard about Qin Yu's painting and communicated with him. Furthermore, the Sky Pillar Demon King had even pawned his only daughter to him.
As for the Golden Fur King, he had already made his stance clear when they met more than a hundred years ago. He had even taken the Scarlet Flame Stallion as his godson. This magnanimity was definitely beyond his imagination.
However, it wasn't surprising. Just thinking about the appearance of the four Demon Kings in the Li Huo Ancestral Hall's shadow back then, one could understand the situation between them.
The Soul-Devouring Rat King's expression didn't change after being asked by Yi Tian. He just stared for a while before saying, "Do you know the relationship between Gu Hui and me?"
Yi Tian nodded, but then said with a serious expression, "Gu Hui has already been bedeviled. I only didn't take his life out of respect for the Li Huo Ancestral Master. As for the Myriad Soul Devouring Poison Pill he used on his fellow disciples, without the help of the Rat King, several of the main ingredients couldn't be gathered, right? "
The Soul-Devouring Rat King was speechless. That's right. When Gu Hui went to the Northern Plains to find him, he straightforwardly asked for his help to gather all kinds of treasures. Among them were the ingredients for the Myriad Soul Devouring Poison Pill.
The Soul-Devouring Rat King frowned slightly, then his expression returned to normal, "That's right. I helped him, but I didn't expect him to use the pill on his fellow disciples. Sect Master Yi, are you trying to put the blame on me? "
"Naturally, I do not wish to push all the blame onto the Rat King. However, if I had not returned in time, the Rat King would have become Gu Hui's helper once again. Moreover, my Profound Yang Lineage is bound to be subdued by him. Rat King's actions in this matter have been thoughtless, "Yi Tian didn't back down in the slightest as he replied in a straightforward manner. Moreover, there was a hint of blame in his tone.
The Soul Eater Rat King's face tightened upon hearing this, and his expression immediately became unsightly. He then coldly snorted, "This old man respects you as the new Sect Master, so I treat you with respect. You must know that according to seniority, you are Yun Zhongzheng's grand-disciple, and I am of the same generation as him.
"The Rat King is right. In terms of seniority, that is how it should be. However, I am now the Sect Master. In the Li Fire Sect, the Sect Master comes first. Even the sect's seniors and Elders have to greet me when they see me. "Yi Tian did not back down in the slightest. After all, he already had a plan in mind. What happened next was just a matter of dealing with it as it came.
Hearing this, the Soul-Devouring Rat King's spirit energy fluctuations spread out in all directions, and a powerful spirit pressure instantly attacked. Fortunately, it wasn't weak either, and the two of them were in a stalemate, unable to firmly suppress each other.
Following that, he smiled and said, "I have heard that the Rat King's strength is outstanding, and that you are the Li Fire Grand Elder's personal pet. It just so happens that I have a few pets here that I would like to ask the Rat King to give them some pointers. "
After saying that, he patted his beast bag and three beams of spiritual light flew out in front of him. After the spiritual light faded, the figures of the fat dog, Miss Qing Yu, and the Scarlet Flame Stallion were revealed.
Upon seeing this, the Soul Eater Rat King sized them up with a look of disdain. Following that, he sneered, "Sect Master Yi, your pets are a little weak. That red-haired kid seems to have transformed, but his strength is clearly not stable enough. That little hen's cultivation is only at Level Five. Although her bloodline is noble, she hasn't reached adulthood and can't unleash her full strength. "
He didn't expect the Rat King's eyesight to be so sharp as to be able to see through the situation with just a glance. Yi Tian only curled his lips and pointed at the fat dog, saying, "How about you see his strength, Rat King?"
Upon hearing this, the Soul Eater Rat King stared at the fat dog with a disapproving look on his face. However, his brows gradually furrowed, and his face was full of confusion. He said, "That's strange. Why do I feel the Xuanyang True Fire on this dog? And its strength isn't weak either. It clearly has more than three hundred years of accumulation. However, based on his current appearance, he should have transformed long ago. Why is he still in his original beast form? "
Unexpectedly, the fat dog heard this and immediately barked at the Soul Eater Rat King, saying, "I am a fox, not a dog. What kind of eyesight do you have?"
Immediately, the Soul Eater Rat King's face turned extremely ugly. He turned to Yi Tian and said, "Can the Sect Master's pet be so impudent? It doesn't even have the slightest bit of etiquette in front of a senior."
Yi Tian instead curled his lips and said, "Rat King, please calm down. This Sect Master only wants these ignorant fellows to come out and experience the Rat King's demeanor. At the same time, I will not hesitate to ask the Rat King to teach me a few moves. I usually don't have the time to deal with these fellows. Since you are here, you can help me teach them a lesson. "
The Soul Eater Rat King sneered before saying, "Since the Sect Master has already laid out the rules, I will disappoint you if I don't accept it. As such, as long as the three of them can join forces and last ten moves from me, this old man will apologize to the Sect Master in person. From this day forth, I will only follow the Sect Master's lead. "
"Alright, the Rat King is straightforward. If they can't take ten moves from the Rat King, then this Sect Master will not interfere with the Rat King's matters in the future. Furthermore, the Li Fire Sect will always treat the Rat King as an honored guest. There will be no need for you to greet this Sect Master. How about that?" Yi Tian replied.
"Enough with the idle talk. Let's see who's the real deal." With that said, the Soul Eater Rat King quietly floated a thousand feet away. He lifted his black robe and revealed his true Fey body.
His body was covered in soft snow-white fur. His hands were covered in golden gloves. With a clench of his fist, he immediately compressed the surrounding air into his hand. Then, he smiled at the few of them, indicating that they could begin.
Yi Tian finally sent a private transmission to the three beasts. Then, he turned around and flew to the side to watch.
Although he had a good understanding of the four Fey Monarchs, the spiritual pressure fluctuation from the Soul Eater Rat King's move allowed Yi Tian to have a general understanding of his strength.
In terms of cultivation level, the Myriad Eagle King was undoubtedly the strongest among the four Fey Monarchs. The other three were not far behind. In terms of strength, he was about the same as the Myriad Eagle King. And that was without using the Supreme Sky Mirror or the Purple Firmament Cup.
However, he had a clear understanding of the strength of the three Fey Monarchs under him. It should not be difficult for the three of them to withstand ten moves from the Soul Eater Rat King together.
The Scarlet Flame Stallion, who had transformed into a human, looked excited. It stretched out its hands and clasped them in front of its chest. It spat out a flame that gathered in its hands. Then, it clenched its fists and gathered the flames. Its actions seemed to be imitating Yi Tian's moves.
When the Multiple Souls Rat King saw this, it snorted coldly and said, "You're imitating him. Unfortunately, there's no Spirit Essence in it."
As for Miss Qing Yu, she flapped her wings and produced several astral winds that attacked the Multiple Souls Rat King. She was the weakest among the three Fey Monarchs. At this moment, she could at most take advantage of the situation.
The astral winds weren't weak at all. At the very least, Yi Tian felt that they were comparable to the magic arts of Yuanying cultivators. After sizing it up, she realized that Qin Yu was using an innate ability to produce such power.
The Multiple Souls Rat King was clearly stunned by the astral winds. Then, it focused its attention on the fat dog. Without a doubt, the fox was the strongest among the three Fey Monarchs.
Suddenly, the Rat King's black figure moved. It turned into a black bolt of lightning and pounced toward the Scarlet Flame Stallion. It was reasonable to pick the weakest Fey Monarchs. However, the Soul Eater Rat King clearly sensed something and held back.
The astral winds whistled past and blew the surrounding mountain peaks into powder. However, the Multiple Souls Rat King relied on its white fur to move freely in the astral winds. It didn't seem to be restricted at all.
After three breaths of time, the Rat King flashed in front of the Scarlet Flame Stallion and struck out with both hands. With a bang, the two Fey Monarchs' four fists collided. Then, the Scarlet Flame Stallion was instantly pushed back over thirty meters.
The Rat King's face turned red. Although he didn't show any signs of defeat, his hands were constantly trembling.
Qin Yu saw this from the side and shouted in alarm, "Husband, quickly help Second Uncle. If this continues, he won't be able to last more than two moves."
The fat dog's expression was solemn. After staring at the Soul Eater Rat King, it moved. It turned into a blue and red bolt of lightning that shuttled through the air. In less than three breaths of time, it appeared beside the Soul Eater Rat King as if it had teleported. Then, it slashed out with its two front claws. The blue and red Profound Yang True Fire's power appeared on its fingertips.
With a sizzling sound, the fat dog's attack seemed to tear the air apart. Two small cracks appeared in the space where the Profound Yang True Fire passed through.
Seeing this, the Rat Monarch replied, "Good." White light suddenly flashed from its hands, and they transformed into rat claws that struck toward its opponent.
Two waves of spirit pressure appeared at the same time. The waves of spirit pressure immediately pushed the Rat King and the fat dog dozens of meters away.
The power of this attack was already at the level of a mid Yuanying cultivator. The Eastern Proud Yuanying cultivators were all shocked. They looked at the fat dog in front of them with disbelief and then glanced at Yi Tian. They secretly rejoiced that they didn't offend him. Otherwise, just these three spirit pets would be enough to deal with them.
The fat dog blocked the Scarlet Flame Colt and said, "Brat, his strength is at most a bit weaker than Yi Tian's. Can you last eight more moves?"
The Scarlet Flame Colt raised its head and neighed, "What are you afraid of? I still have one move that I haven't used yet." After saying that, he summoned his Cloudsky Armor, which transformed into a suit of armor that covered his body. Only his eyes were exposed.
The Multiple Souls Rat King said with disdain, "Is this all you've got? Little colt, if it wasn't for this fat dog protecting you, you would have been defeated. There are still eight moves left. I can defeat you in one move. Don't think too highly of yourself. "
Then, the Rat King's body suddenly trembled violently. At the same time, there seemed to be an overlapping state in the air. After three breaths, an identical image appeared.
Yi Tian also frowned. The two Rat Kings in front of him seemed to be made from the same mold. The aura and spiritual pressure on their bodies were exactly the same. There was no way to tell them apart.
The three beasts also had fear on their faces. In this situation, they couldn't tell which was the real Rat King, so they were in a very passive position. However, they knew that the Rat King was trying to defeat them one by one.
At this time, if they stayed together, they would be a big target. The fat dog said, "You two face each other. I'll go behind you."
It was clear that the fat dog's strategy wasn't the best, but it was the best choice in the current situation. There was only one Rat King, so one of them had to be an illusion.
After the Scarlet Flame Colt and Qing Yu thought about it, they attacked the Soul Devouring Rat King. The astral winds mixed with red fireballs instantly increased their power by 30%.
Suddenly, the fat dog moved again. He teleported to the other side of the Rat King. An ice halo flashed and formed a ten-meter-wide ice barrier around them.
The air inside the barrier condensed into millions of ice crystals. Then, the fat dog howled and controlled the ice to form a hurricane that blew towards the Soul Devouring Rat King.
The power of the ice was so strong that even under the noon sun, the surrounding cultivators felt a chill. The hurricane attacked, but the Soul Devouring Rat King's expression didn't change. One of them turned around and sent out a palm strike to catch the hurricane.
The fat dog's eyes lit up and he shouted, "This one is real!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, the other Rat King made its move as well. After a few flashes, the Rat King actually braved the assault of the astral winds and raging flames to arrive before the Scarlet Flame Stallion. Following that, the Rat King punched the Scarlet Flame Stallion squarely in the chest, sending the Rat King flying over thirty meters away.
Then, he glanced at Qin Yu and tied her up with a restriction. He handed her over to Yi Tian and said, "She's out first."
He didn't expect the two to be real. Because of this, the Scarlet Flame Colt didn't end up in such a sorry state. It was clear that the Soul Devouring Rat King had used a doppelganger technique, so the power of its attack was halved.
Just as he finished speaking, a terrifying fluctuation of spiritual pressure suddenly appeared. The Soul Devouring Rat King turned to look. It was the Scarlet Flame Colt. He didn't know when, but a fluctuation of spiritual pressure similar to his had appeared.
The Soul Devouring Rat King narrowed his eyes and involuntarily said, "How can you have such power? This is clearly not your own strength."
Yi Tian took Qin Yu and released the restriction on her. Then he explained to the Soul Devouring Rat King, "The Scarlet Flame Colt has a foster father. This is a protective talisman given to him by his foster father. It shouldn't be against the rules."
When the Soul Devouring Rat King heard this, his expression changed several times before he gnashed his teeth and said, "I thought you were a gentleman like Yun Zhongzheng. I didn't expect you to be full of evil tricks."
"Rat King is overpraising me. Before I started cultivating, I was born in the wilderness. It's easy to change mountains and rivers, but it's hard to change one's nature. You have to be more tolerant. Otherwise, if that person finds out that you bullied his foster son, I won't be able to stop him." Yi Tian had a fearless expression.
The Soul Devouring Rat King was at a loss for words. With great difficulty, he said, "Fine, you win."
