658 The Cosmic Cauldron (1)
Whoosh—
Hu Li panted heavily. It wasn’t easy to tire a Demon King to this extent.
He raised his head and looked at the calm Zhou Shu. After a long time, he said, “Who the hell are you? How can you have a cultivation level comparable to Demon King?”
He was as tired as a dog, and the other party was also escaping, so why wasn’t he tired?
How could it be so easy to escape from a few Demon Kings?
The key was that while escaping, he would stop from time to time to shoot a few arrows.
Hu Li had mixed feelings about this person who had once pretended to be Yao Qing and deceived him. He didn’t know if he should hate him.
“I might not be as good as you Demon Kings at fighting, but I’m good at running.” Zhou Shu smiled. His current cultivation level was actually only a step away from the Grotto-Heaven realm. In other words, his cultivation level was inferior to that of Demon Kings like Hu Li.
If they really fought, although Zhou Shu couldn’t say that he didn’t have the strength to fight, and he had to rely on the strength of his body after being reborn, it was probably impossible for him to defeat a Demon King.
But when it came to escaping, not many could escape faster than him.
The divine ability Unstoppable For a Thousand Miles allowed him to convert all his strength into speed. At its limit, his speed was even faster than that of a Demon King.
If he wanted to escape, even the number one Demon King of the Demon Realm, Demon King Ao, wouldn’t be able to catch up to him.
“Hu Li, why did you do that in front of those Demon Kings? Was it worth it to almost lose your life with just a few words?” Zhou Shu said angrily.
“What’s there not worth about it? I just don’t like them,” Hu Li said. “I still wanted to continue scolding them, but I didn’t have time.”
What could Zhou Shu say? He could only roll his eyes at him.
Hu Li was really not very smart.
If he hadn’t secretly stayed behind to see what would happen, Hu Li would probably have been captured by Demon King Ao and the others today.
It was actually not much better now. They had yet to escape, and the Demon Kings were still chasing after them.
If Zhou Shu hadn’t borrowed the Great Destroyer Heavenly Bow from Zhang San and shot a few arrows to stop the Demon Kings from closing the distance, they would probably have caught up.
If they really caught up, Zhou Shu didn’t have the strength to defeat so many Demon Kings and save Hu Li.
“Forget it. Go ahead,” Hu Li said. “I’ll fight them to the death and let them know that I am not an easy target.”
“Are you stupid?” Zhou Shu said angrily. “How many Demon Kings do you think you can defeat? Even if you want to die, you can’t do it this way.
“If you don’t like the Demon Kings, you can secretly accumulate strength and overthrow their rule. When your strength is inferior to others, you have to learn to hide1—”
“You want me to act like their dog?” Hu Li was furious. “How can I be their dog again!”
“Not that dog!” Zhou Shu was speechless. Forget it. We should run first. They’re going to catch up again.
The man and the Demon King began to run again.
After a while, Zhou Shu pulled Hu Li and flew into a canyon.
In the distance, a few Demon Kings suddenly stopped.
“Demon King Ao, they entered Yuheng Valley!” Tiangou looked at Demon King Ao with an ugly expression.
The fellow who had pretended to be Liu’Er had entered Yuheng Valley in front of them.
They still wanted to chase after them, but a powerful fluctuation erupted in Yuheng Valley, scaring them so much that they didn’t dare to enter.
Now, Hu Li and that person had actually run into Yuheng Valley again!
It was a tough decision to make.
Yuheng Valley was a forbidden area of the Demon Realm. Even a Demon King could die inside. This was the conclusion reached by countless demonic beasts over thousands of years.
No matter how conceited these Demon Kings were, they didn’t dare to say that they would definitely come out alive from Yuheng Valley.
“I saw!” Demon King Ao said coldly. “Tiangou, why don’t you go in and investigate?”
“Demon King Ao, you’re the strongest. It’s more suitable for you to go.” Tiangou wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t go in. Hunting Hu Li wasn’t something a demon like him could do alone.
Demon King Ao snorted coldly. He was the strongest, but Yuheng Valley was a forbidden area of the Demon Realm. No demonic beast had ever been able to explain the situation inside clearly, so he wouldn’t take the risk.
“What do we do now?” the other Demon Kings asked.
“They’re courting death by entering Yuheng Valley. We can save ourselves the trouble,” a Demon King said.
Tiangou shook his head. “The human who saved Hu Li once came out of Yuheng Valley alive. If he can come out once, he might be able to come out a second time.”
“Then, what do you think we should do? Should we chase after them too? If you want to chase after them, go ahead. I won’t go in anyway,” a Demon King said.
The Demon Kings had equal statuses and didn’t have a strict hierarchy. Usually, they gave Demon King Ao some face, but when it came to their own safety, they wouldn’t put their lives in Demon King Ao’s hands.
“If we don’t want to go in, we can wait here. I don’t believe they won’t come out after going in!” Tiangou said coldly.
The Demon Kings looked at each other and nodded. As long as they didn’t go in and take the risk, it was fine to wait here. After all, time was indeed not worth mentioning to Demon Kings.
