Chapter 330 This emperor is petty and holds grudges quite a bit.
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound interrupted all its movements.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, Lin Hanzhou's right hand, covered with black and gold scales, gripped the Crimson Bone King's incredibly thick neck with the ease of an iron clamp.
Immediately afterwards, there were no fancy supernatural powers or dazzling light effects.
It was merely a pure crushing of power, coupled with the vibration of laws at a higher level.
"Bang--!!!"
The Crimson Bone King's proud and powerful demonic body, which even top-grade spiritual artifacts could not penetrate, shattered in Lin Hanzhou's hands like a block of tofu struck by a heavy hammer!
Demonic blood splattered, and shattered bones flew everywhere.
A top-tier expert at the eighth level and tenth stage was crushed on the spot and turned into a cloud of scarlet blood mist before he could even scream or escape.
"..."
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
The canyon, which had been somewhat restless, suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Tens of thousands of demons stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded at the scene.
Their underdeveloped brains are completely unable to process the situation at hand.
Lord Demon Emperor... killed the Crimson Bone King?
Why?
Isn't the Crimson Bone King the most loyal vanguard? It just knelt down perfectly!
After a brief period of deathly silence, a sense of panic began to spread wildly among the demons.
Especially the eighth-tier, tenth-level demon generals standing next to the Crimson Bone King were so frightened that they trembled all over and almost knelt down again.
They couldn't understand it.
Is it that the Demon Emperor is simply capricious? Or has the Crimson Bone King done something wrong?
In this tense and suffocating atmosphere.
Lin Hanzhou slowly took out a handkerchief from his storage space, elegantly wiped the demonic blood off his hands, and then casually absorbed the lingering pure blood energy.
He raised his head, looked at the terrified demons around him, and gave a "kind" smile.
Why are you all so nervous?
Lin Hanzhou pointed to the pile of mangled flesh on the ground, his tone as relaxed as if he had just stepped on an ant.
"This person has a personal grudge against me."
"personal enmity?"
All the demons were taken aback.
"good."
Lin Hanzhou was talking nonsense with a straight face.
"About 30,000 years ago, before I attained enlightenment, this guy stole my treasure in the Abyss Demon Realm."
"I am a petty and vengeful person."
"So, when I see an old acquaintance, I can't help but settle the score with him."
"Do you have any objections?"
Lin Hanzhou's gaze swept across the entire room, his purple eyes narrowing slightly.
"..."
The silence lasted only a second before one of the fastest-reacting succubus leaders suddenly screamed, her face filled with righteous indignation.
"Well done!"
"That Crimson Bone Madman is utterly audacious! He dared to steal the Demon Emperor's treasure! He deserves to die!"
"That's right! The Demon Emperor is wise and mighty!"
"To offend the Demon Emperor is to be a sinner against the entire demon race!"
"He deserves to die! I've disliked that guy for a long time!"
For a time, the entire canyon was filled with flattery and agreement.
The other eighth-level, tenth-level demon generals were inwardly cursing.
"The Crimson Bone King wasn't even born 30,000 years ago, how dare you steal my magic crystals!"
But faced with overwhelming power, their will to survive made them nod their heads like they were pounding garlic.
Just kidding, everyone saw what happened just now.
Crushing an eighth-level, tenth-tier cultivator is as easy as crushing a chicken.
Who would dare say "no" at this point? They would be the next Crimson Bone King!
……
Looking at this group of "sensible" demons, Lin Hanzhou nodded in satisfaction.
"As expected, in the demon realm, might makes right."
But his true feelings were utter disappointment.
"Tsk."
"It's no use."
That attack just now wasn't just about establishing his authority; it was also a final test.
First: The Backstab talent did not trigger.
The system interface was quiet, with no "betrayal of faction" notification.
This shows that no matter how his appearance changes, and no matter how much these demons acknowledge him as their leader, in the underlying logic of the system, Lin Hanzhou is still in the [human race camp].
Killing demons falls under the category of "annihilating the enemy army," not "cleansing one's own house."
Second: The devouring effect is reduced to zero.
When he crushed the Crimson Bone King, he casually tried to absorb some of the king's demonic essence.
The result was like pouring a cup of water into the ocean.
The Demon Emperor's Heart, which had already advanced to the ninth rank, showed extreme disdain for this eighth-rank energy.
"It seems that the path of continuing to accumulate strength by devouring eighth-tier demons has been completely cut off."
"To advance further, one must either devour a true ninth-tier Demon Emperor or a ninth-tier human powerhouse."
Lin Hanzhou sighed inwardly.
Since there's no way to exploit bugs to gain experience, and no way to level up by eating at buffets.
Then we'll have to go for something big.
"Although I am not a cultivator from the Demon Clan, I am a cultivator from the Demon Extermination Hall."
Lin Hanzhou stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze passing over the heads of the demons and looking towards the distant direction.
That area has the densest and most solid human defenses.
A strange and wicked smile slowly crept onto the corners of his mouth.
"As a human, I led an army of hundreds of thousands of demons to attack my own camp..."
"Wouldn't this be considered a betrayal?"
As a cultivator of the Demon Extermination Hall, he led a demon army to conquer a human city.
This is absolutely an act of "traitorous behavior"!
This would absolutely trigger the "betrayal of faction" stat in the [Backstab] talent!
"Hehehe..."
"Didn't Duanmu Hong want to use me as a pawn?"
"Then I'll flip this chessboard over."
"Leading a demon army to attack a city, just thinking about it is exciting."
