Chapter 657: Upright Hu Li, You Don’t Talk About Martial Ethics (2)
A Demon King snorted. “Hmph, does he think that his identity hasn’t been exposed? How dare he appear in front of us?”
Demon King Ao flipped his wrist, and an ancient mirror appeared in his hand. A light flashed on the mirror, and the white light shot out toward Hu Li.
Hu Li’s eyes widened. He didn’t dodge and allowed the white light to land on his body.
The Demon Kings’ gazes landed on the Demon Mirror in Demon King Ao’s hand.
What appeared in the mirror was Hu Li.
All the Demon Kings were stunned. Even Demon King Ao was stunned.
Hu Li was reflected in the Demon Mirror?
Previously, the Demon Kings were almost certain that Hu Li was an imposter. Now, they actually discovered that Hu Li was real!
This stunned them all.
If Hu Li was real, then were their previous speculations all wrong?
“Hu Li!”
At this moment, Hu Li had already approached. He stopped, and his aura soared. “Aren’t you looking for me? I’m here now!
“What do you want to do? Bring it on. I, Hu Li, will take everything on!”
His eyes widened, and his fighting spirit soared.
Demon King Ao narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, “Hu Li, tell me. Did you collude with the human race?!”
“Demon King Ao, I used to serve you for many years. But now, I’m already a Demon King and no longer a soldier under your command! Be more polite when talking to me!” Hu Li said coldly.
He swept his gaze across the Demon Kings. “Would you believe me if I said I didn’t collude with the humans?
“You don’t believe me! Do you think that I, Hu Li, a Great Demon with ordinary aptitude, wouldn’t be able to break through to the Demon King realm and be on equal footing with you if not for the help of humans?
“That’s right. Let me tell you. It’s indeed thanks to the help of the human race that I can have my current cultivation!
“But I have never betrayed the Demon Realm!
“It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. I don’t expect you to believe me.”
Hu Li widened his bell-like eyes and shouted angrily, “I came to tell you that I, Hu Li, am a Demon King! I can do whatever I want! None of you can tell me what to do!”
“Impudent!” Demon King Ao was furious. “Looks like I didn’t hit you hard enough last time!
“What gave you the illusion that you could talk to us like that? Do you think you can be unscrupulous just because you’ve become a Demon King? If I can’t, what right do you have?!”
Demon King Ao roared angrily. He took a step forward, and his aura soared into the sky. A golden flood dragon rose from his body and pounced at Hu Li.
“Come back with me. I’ll teach you a lesson!” Demon King Ao shouted. “You’re still not strong enough to stand on your own!”
“I told you. I’m no longer your vassal! I am—” Hu Li punched forward and shouted, “Demon King Hu Li!”
With an explosive sound, Hu Li took a few steps back, leaving a clear footprint on the ground.
The divine power unleashed by Demon King Ao was also shattered by Hu Li’s punch.
“Have you recovered from your injuries?” Demon King Ao’s pupils constricted.
During Hu Li’s advancement ceremony, Demon King Ao had taught him a lesson.
At the time, Demon King Ao knew very well how strong his attack was. In his opinion, it was impossible for Hu Li to recover without a year and a half.
It was precisely because he had injured Hu Li that he dared to issue a wanted order. Otherwise, ordinary demonic beasts wouldn’t be Hu Li’s match at all.
But it had only been less than a month, and his injuries had actually recovered!
This was beyond Demon King Ao’s expectations.
“Hu Li, how dare you say that you didn’t collude with the humans? How did you recover from your injuries?” Demon King Ao said coldly.
“What? Is it wrong for me to recover from my injuries? So I can only be injured by you?” Hu Li snorted. “Do I need to explain to you how my injuries healed?”
“Hu Li, I’ll give you another chance.” Demon King Ao’s expression was cold. “Take us to kill that human army, and I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, there will be no place for you in the Demon Realm!”
“The Demon Realm isn’t yours. What right do you have to say that?” Hu Li said coldly. “Don’t say I don’t know about the human army. Even if I did, why should I tell you?
“Whether I have a foothold or not depends on my fists, not your reward!”
“Hu Li is crazy. Take him down.” Tiangou sighed.
Demon King Ao was so angry that he was about to go crazy. Although Hu Li had already proven that he was really Hu Li, did this fellow specially come over to find trouble?
He had already given him a way out. Did he have to court death?
“In that case, Hu Li, don’t blame me!”
Demon King Ao let out a long cry. With a flash, he transformed into a flood dragon more than a hundred feet tall and pounced at Hu Li.
He was furious. He used his full strength the moment he arrived and transformed into his demonic beast true form in order to capture Hu Li with a lightning strike.
Hu Li wasn’t afraid at all. He also roared angrily, and his body expanded, turning into a brightly colored tiger dozens of feet tall.
A dragon and a tiger fought. For a moment, sand and stones flew, and the sky darkened.
Tiangou and the other Demon Kings retreated. They didn’t interfere. It was just Hu Li. There was no need for them to do anything. Demon King Ao could handle him alone.
Boom!
A moment later, with a loud bang, the brightly colored tiger slammed into the ground and rolled back thousands of feet. The rocks and trees on the ground were all smashed into a mess.
Gruu—
The tiger flipped over and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed, and it was already very difficult for him to even stand.
“Hu Li, you’re still far from being able to fight me!” Demon King Ao’s figure appeared in the air. He looked at Hu Li and said coldly, “On account of your many years of service to me, I’ll give you another chance. Kneel down and admit your mistake, and I’ll spare your life!”
“Forget about it!” Hu Li roared. “I will never kneel!”
Boom!
A powerful aura descended from the sky and slammed into Hu Li’s back. His knees bent slightly, and he almost knelt, but his huge tiger body swayed as he stabilized himself.
“Kneel!” Demon King Ao took a step forward, and his aura soared again.
Hu Li’s body creaked as his body slowly lowered uncontrollably.
He let out an indignant roar, but his knees were about to touch the ground.
At this moment, a stream of light shot over at an unbelievable speed. It was heading toward Demon King Ao.
As soon as the stream of light appeared, Demon King Ao had already noticed it. He let out a cold snort and reached out to grab it. An illusory flood dragon claw grabbed the stream of light in the middle.
Boom!
The stream of light exploded.
Before Demon King Ao could be happy, several more streams of light came from all directions. Then more streams of light appeared.
These streams of light were arrows condensed from light!
The sky was full of light arrows.
“Hu Li, leave quickly!” A voice came from afar.
The expressions of the Demon Kings changed at the same time.
“Take down Hu Li, dead or alive!” Demon King Ao roared angrily. He transformed into a flood dragon again and flew in the direction the arrows came from.
Tiangou and the other Demon Kings also reacted. Someone rescued Hu Li. He had indeed colluded with the humans!
Hu Li was still in a daze when he saw several Demon Kings charge toward him.
“You’re bullying me with numbers. You don’t care about martial virtue! Come one by one if you have the ability. I am not afraid of you!” Hu Li shouted and turned to run.
He wasn’t really stupid. He could still fight one-on-one. But one against many, if he didn’t run, should he stay and court death?
