Chapter 4082: Celestial Ape Demon King
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
The news of Li Qiyeâs extortion astounded all listeners.
âIs this brat crazy and suicidal? He wants two-third as the ransom?â One expert said.
âHeâs just different, always overbearing and haughty.â Another big shot became surprised.
âHe thinks he can do whatever he wants now that heâs rich, even daring to go against Armament and Sea Emperor. He wonât last long.â One more snorted.
âWhy is he doing this? Isnât it better just to tuck his tail between his legs and enjoy his wealth?â An elder said.
All in all, everyone thought that it was unwise of him to create enemies everywhere. He was already set forever, never having to worry about money ever again.
His best option right now should be to lay low and not garner attention from others. On the other hand, he chose to offend the worst potential enemies.
âHow will they retaliate?â Someone murmured.
âWhat else? Theyâll have to kill him. Thereâs no way theyâll accept his demand.â Another answered.
This was also an issue of pride and reputation. Acquiescing here would ruin these sects. Moreover, spending two-third to save these men would weaken them considerably.
âBuzz.â While everyone was having these conversations, an arrow could be seen exploding in the sky. Sparks scattered and resembled illuminating stars.
A vast dao diagram emerged and an ancient voice could be heard.
âLi Qiye, release everyone now or nothing will be left of you in three days.â The voice left no room for negotiation as it echoed.
âThatâs Starshooter King.â Everyone recognized him - the father of Starshooter Prince.
Starshooter Kingdom had maintained a strong stance against Li Qiye.
âSee, they will not let him extort them.â An expert said. Most shared this view due to Li Qiyeâs outrageous demand.
âBrat, release us now or when our real legion comes, youâll be crushed.â Starshooter Prince took advantage of this opportunity to threaten Li Qiye.
âThatâs fine, Iâm bored anyway, Iâll kill whoever dares to come.â Li Qiye answered with a smile.
Listeners outside exchanged glances after hearing his confidence.
âYour death will be uglyâ¦â Starshooter Prince uttered coldly since his threat didnât work.
âWorry about yourselves first because if I get in a bad mood, Iâll light up a torch and turn you all into roast meat.â Li Qiye interrupted.
The prince had an ugly expression but decided to stop speaking. Li Qiye might actually go crazy and do so. That type of death would be too agonizing.
âWould Li Qiye be able to stop the incoming legions?â One spectator asked.
Both Armament and Starshooter had mighty legions consisting of elite disciples.
âBoom!â A pillar of light from Armament Mountain tore apart the sky. Waves of light rippled from the top, looking holy and making others want to prostrate.
âRumble!â The ground suddenly shook violently as a massive figure emerged.
This was an old man with a human body and an ape head, adorned in full armor. His eyes were as bright as two suns; no one dared to look straight at him. His aura alone made their knees buckle.
âCelestial Ape Demon King, the first elder of Armament.â Someone took a deep breath after seeing him.
Eight-armed Prince was ecstatic to see him.
âThe demon king is doing this himself?â Even the ancestors were wary of this character.
The first elder of Armament was once the national teacher of Starshooter for three generations. This was a testament to his ability and power.
âLet them go right now or face death.â His voice echoed and had more oomph compared to Starshooter King. A pressure descended on the plain, making it hard for the crowd to breathe.
âItâs starting soon.â The spectators gasped because Armament was right next to the plain.
The king didnât need to arrive in person; the plain was already in range of his techniques.
âMake your move, Iâm ready.â Li Qiye nonchalantly responded.
âBrat, die!â The demon king raised his hand and a massive, hairy palm manifested above the plain. Terrifying energies ravaged the sky and dao laws poured down like waterfalls.
Spectators immediately rushed away from the border in order to avoid being crushed to mincemeat by the palm.
âLast chance.â The king threatened.
