CHAPTER 707: Domain
Five individuals, each with a different style, shared one common characteristic—they all exuded a dangerous aura. Behind them, the flying Demon Clan members and magical beasts had taken to the air, following closely behind as they approached the undead army.
The undead army did not launch an immediate attack. Upon seeing the Demon King and his group approach, they halted, which sparked a flicker of hope in the Demon King. He hoped that Zhao Hai wasn't truly there to attack them; otherwise, why had Zhao Hai suddenly stopped?
Zhao Hai and his companions stood on the bone dragon as they advanced. The Demon King looked at Zhao Hai and then shifted his gaze to Berry. He couldn't help but notice the diamond-shaped crystal atop Berry's head, causing his eyes to narrow slightly as he scanned the vicinity, finally landing on Xu Wanying, who stood behind Zhao Hai.
Xu Wanying was also a divine-level expert. The Demon King sensed a hint of danger emanating from Xu Wanying; he recognized him as a formidable warrior, one who embraced death without fear.
What mattered most was that the Demon King perceived Xu Wanying’s gaze toward Zhao Hai—one filled with absolute trust, even a touch of admiration. Such an expression was not unusual for an ordinary person, but when it appeared on a divine-level expert, it became rather unsettling.
What is a divine-level expert? They are the pinnacle of existence within a space. Even if one had been a slave prior, upon becoming a divine-level expert, they would receive the treatment and respect befitting their status. Divine-level experts also understand that they belong to the top echelons of the continent, which means they don’t need to bow down to anyone.
Take the five of them, including the Demon King. Although he appeared to be the most glamorous, he lacked the authority to command the other divine-level experts. This time, those experts might listen to him, but only because it was an order from the Great Demon Lord.
In the demon realm, no one could defy the Great Demon Lord's commands, not even a divine-level expert. That was why these divine-level experts were now cooperating with the Demon King.
The Demon King turned to Zhao Hai, his wariness deepening. He never expected that a divine-level expert could evoke such respect mingled with admiration from another divine-level expert. Putting aside Zhao Hai's actual strength, this alone made him the most formidable person the Demon King had ever encountered.
The Demon King gazed at Zhao Hai, who was slowly stopping before him, and solemnly said, “It seems you truly do not wish to let us go? Are you really prepared to fight us to the death?”
Zhao Hai looked at the Demon King and suddenly smiled. “Since the Demon King has spoken, I know why you Demon Clan came to the Ark Continent. You know it too. At this point, discussing it seems pointless. I only want to ask the Demon King one thing: Will the Demon Clan abandon their attack on the Ark Continent?”
The Demon King stared at Zhao Hai, his eyes unwavering. “Yes!”
Zhao Hai laughed heartily. “Then I thank the Demon King. There’s one more thing I must tell you—I brought these undead beings here to invite someone to dinner.”
With a wave of his hand, the undead beings suddenly vanished behind him. When they reappeared, they were already behind the Demon King and his group. The undead had transformed from a single formation into countless smaller formations, each a spinning cone. These cone-like formations spun rapidly, akin to gigantic tops, and charged into the ranks of the Demon Clan.
The Demon King's expression shifted dramatically, and he immediately shouted, “Kill them!” With that, his Black Dragon Chariot rushed toward Zhao Hai, and the divine-level experts behind him followed suit.
Zhao Hai did not retreat. As his form shifted, the bone dragon beneath him disappeared. Then, he, Berry, and Xu Wanying vanished into thin air. When they reappeared, they had already surrounded the bowman divine-level expert of the Demon Clan. Zhao Hai's blood staff transformed into a Great Broadsword, which he swung toward the bowman.
