109: Chapter 109 How could A-Chuan possibly fight Kang Da-Lei?

"Master, is what you said true? Kang Dalei actually possesses late-stage Marquis combat power."

"He has only been a Marquis for so long, and yet he possesses such strength. No wonder Master thinks so highly of him."

"King Yanhuo, you've been slapped in the face, haven't you?"

White Elephant King did not forget to mock him from the side.

And these words from Mountain Lord Qin Wu infuriated King Yanhuo quite a bit.

"Late-stage Marquis? That's absolutely impossible! Master, Kang Dalei has been a Marquis for less than two months. How could he possibly have late-stage Marquis combat power? Did you make a mistake?"

"Yanhuo, you are being insolent! How are you speaking to Master?"

An Hai immediately stood up and reprimanded King Yanhuo while pointing at him.

Realizing his slip of the tongue, King Yanhuo hurriedly apologized to Mountain Lord Qin Wu, but he still did not believe in Kang Dalei's strength.

"Master, I was a little agitated just now. However, you said Kang Dalei has late-stage Marquis combat power. Do you have any proof?"

Seeing that King Yanhuo still did not know when to hold back, Mountain Lord Qin Wu didn't waste any words and directly brought out his Marquis-level puppet.

"Do you know how many moves it took him to destroy this Marquis-level puppet of mine?"

Everyone shook their heads and began to speculate.

"Master's puppet only has mid-stage Marquis combat power, but after being infused with Master's spiritual energy, its strength is almost unrivaled among Marquises. This Kang Dalei's strength cannot be underestimated."

"To be able to easily defeat Master's Marquis-level puppet, at the very least, mid-stage Marquises cannot be his match."

"King Yanhuo, you don't seem happy. What's wrong? Call that person named Meng Chuan over. I'll notify Kang Dalei and tell him to go easy on that kid named Meng Chuan."

White Elephant King would never pass up such a good opportunity to needle King Yanhuo. Seeing that everyone believed Kang Dalei had reached late-stage Marquis strength, he pounced on King Yanhuo and unleashed a torrent of mockery.

King Yanhuo was losing face and glared angrily at White Elephant King, but he couldn't lose his temper, so he stubbornly said:

"Meng Chuan being a mid-stage Marquis was in the past. Now he has at least reached the late-stage Marquis level."

"Is that so? Then let's have the two of them fight."

White Elephant King knew that this old geezer King Yanhuo was bluffing, so he waved one hand to shatter space, gesturing to have the two of them come over for a spar.

Seeing that White Elephant King didn't give him any face at all, King Yanhuo was instantly infuriated and snorted coldly. Unwilling to be outdone, he also prepared to shatter space.

Seeing the two arguing again, Mountain Lord Qin Wu, sitting in the main seat, coughed lightly to interrupt their actions.

"Have you two finished making a scene?"

After being reprimanded by Mountain Lord Qin Wu, the two of them quieted down.

Mountain Lord Qin Wu then looked at the unconvinced King Yanhuo and asked.

"Yanhuo, do you insist on having Kang Dalei fight Meng Chuan?"

King Yanhuo didn't even think about it and immediately replied:

"Yes, it's just..."

"Good." Mountain Lord Qin Wu raised his hand to signal him to stop speaking, then shifted his gaze toward White Elephant King.

"White Elephant King, since Kang Dalei is your son-in-law, do you want them to fight?"

"This..." White Elephant King hesitated for a moment, but seeing King Yanhuo's endless smugness, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I agree."

Mountain Lord Qin Wu nodded and swept his gaze around the other Kings.

"Since both of you agree, let the two of them come to the mountain for a battle. After the winner is decided, neither of you is to keep badgering the other."

With a wave of his hand, the seven Kings were teleported away.

Yuanchu Mountain, outside Mountain Lord Qin Wu's courtyard.

The seven of them looked at each other. At this moment, Qianmu slowly walked up to King Yanhuo and said:

"Yanhuo, Meng Chuan has chosen the path of the Demonic Dao. I wonder if I might have the opportunity to observe him."

"Qianmu, is your Liangjie Island also interested in the Demonic Venerable?"

King Yanhuo neither agreed nor refused, but instead stared coldly at the flirtatious and alluring King before him, suspicion rising in his heart.

Qianmu giggled, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

After King Qianmu left, King Yanhuo was preparing to say something to White Elephant King, but he saw that White Elephant King didn't even glance at him, instead waving his hand to shatter space and walking out of the Yuanchu Mountain area. The old fellow was so angry he almost tore through space to chase after him.

"White Elephant King, sooner or later I will make you pay the price."

"Yanhuo, don't be so impatient. We will soon see who is stronger and who is weaker."

"An Hai, you should worry about yourself."

King Yanhuo similarly didn't give King An Hai any face and left the spot after shattering the surrounding space.

"An Hai, are we still going to spar?"

At this moment, King Zhenwu sighed faintly from the side.

The two had previously agreed to spar in swordsmanship today, but unexpectedly, they were called over by King Yanhuo.

An Hai waved his hand and nodded heavily.

"Yes, of course."

Immediately, the two disappeared.

...

Just as Yuanchu Mountain was deciding on the earth-shattering battle between Kang Dalei and Meng Chuan.

Far away in a frontier region on the Central Plains, a stunningly beautiful woman in a fire-colored long dress threw out a punch, and three First-Heaven Demon Kings before her were instantly killed.

"Miss Liu, it seems you have completely mastered the baleful aura."

An elderly man wearing armor said with a smile.

The woman in the fire-red dress smiled, put away the three demon cores, and bowed to the old man.

"If it weren't for the guidance of you seniors, I'm afraid this young woman would not have been able to break through to Body Refining Stage 6."

The old man laughed, "Miss, you are joking. Since you know Young Master Kang, we naturally wouldn't hold anything back from you."

"Mm." Liu Qiyue nodded. Hearing the other party mention Kang Dalei, the image of the man who had tried to snatch her embroidered shoe at the Demon-Slaying Conference that day couldn't help but appear in her mind.

"I wonder how he is doing, and also, also Meng Chuan."

Looking up at the sky, Liu Qiyue's state of mind had grown significantly compared to before.

"By the way, Senior, I wonder where the generals have gone recently? Why can't I see them anywhere?"

Liu Qiyue suddenly asked.

Ever since she obtained the Body Refining technique from Kang Dalei and decided to come to the frontier to train and earn demon cores.

She had met a few people during a beast tide defense, though their relationship wasn't very close at first.

Until one time, a name she blurted out gave her an extraordinary status in this frontier city.

Kang Dalei, a name that made her both hate and feel annoyed, yet in this short period, she had relied on his identity to improve her strength at full speed, reaching the current Body Refining Stage 6.

"Miss Liu, the generals have gone to patrol the grain routes. Recently, the beast tides have become more frequent, and many commoners have already migrated inside the pass."

The old man replied.

Liu Qiyue nodded. She knew about this matter; if it weren't for the beast tide, she wouldn't have left the pass to kill demons.

"Let's continue."

Just as the two were preparing to continue walking deeper into the yellow sands, an urgent message caused Liu Qiyue's heart to shake.

"Major news: Marquis Wanjian Kang Dalei and Meng Chuan of the Demonic Dao are to fight to the death on Yuanchu Mountain."

"What did you say?"

Grabbing the arm of the soldier who brought the report, Liu Qiyue asked again in a daze, as if she hadn't heard clearly.

The soldier was startled by her action, but after noticing the expression of the old man beside her, he still respectfully replied,

"Miss, this is the news transmitted from the capital. Marquis Wanjian is going to duel with Meng Chuan of the Demonic Dao. Whoever loses dies."

With a boom, Liu Qiyue felt as if she couldn't stand steady.

"Meng Chuan is going to duel with Kang Dalei."

Shock flashed in Liu Qiyue's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by confusion.

"How could Meng Chuan duel with Kang Dalei?"

The more Liu Qiyue thought about it, the more wrong it felt, so she grabbed the soldier's arm and asked:

"What exactly happened? Why does Meng Chuan want to fight Kang Dalei?"

Seeing his arm being grabbed again, the soldier sighed helplessly and had no choice but to tell Liu Qiyue everything he knew.
