2156 The Ambitious Succubus Archduke, Stealing the Devil Energy
âAs I said, Iâm not the only one youâve underestimated here.â
Upon hearing Chu Kuangrenâs words, Black Feather Archdukeâs gaze immediately landed on Succubus Archduke. âItâs you. Youâre the one whoâs responsible for this poison!â
Among the three Devil Archdukes, Succubus Archduke was the one who specialized in the use of poison.
A seductive smile appeared on Succubus Archdukeâs face. âYup, thatâs right. Iâm the one who poisoned you. What do you think? This Devilish Chaos Technique of mine is not bad, right?â
âWhen did you do this?â
âBefore I arrived.â
âItâs our Kingâs body! Youâve poisoned our Kingâs body!â
Black Feather Archduke was confident that there was no way Succubus Archduke would poison him without him noticing. The only possibility was that she had poisoned the Devil Kingâs body before arriving, which meant that she was on to him from the start.
âNo, thatâs not right. Does she plan to scheme against our King?â
âStop overthinking. I wouldnât dare to poison our King even if I had ten lives. Itâs all because I knew you were planning to take over the Kingâs body that I poisoned it. All thatâs left after that is to wait for you to take the bait patiently.â
Succubus Archduke chuckled when she guessed what Black Feather Archduke was thinking.
However, there was one thing Black Feather Archduke still could not understand.
How did she know about their plans? Besides himself and War Horror Archduke, only a few of his close subordinates knew of it, so how did Succubus Archduke find out?
Suddenly, Black Feather Archduke saw his close subordinate, the black-winged man, slowly walking to Succubus Archdukeâs side. The man said coldly. âMy apologies, Black Feather Archduke. Iâve always been on Succubus Archdukeâs side.â
âWhat?!â
Black Feather Archdukeâs expression was grim.
At that moment, battle cries sounded outside Black Feather City.
An overwhelming wave of Devil qi surged forward, causing the surroundings to quake.
At a closer look, these were all succubi and incubi.
It meant they were Succubus Archdukeâs troops!
She did not come alone to this banquet after all. As a matter of fact, she was the one who brought the most troops instead. The might of her troops was almost comparable to all of Black Feather Cityâs forces.
War Horror Archduke looked at Succubus Archduke and could feel a chill run down his spine.
They had never taken her seriously, so they had never thought that the woman had been scheming behind their backs all along!
âBlack Feather Archduke, although you have taken over our Kingâs body, you can never be like her. And now that youâve been struck with my Devilish Chaos Technique, your Devil energy is suppressed too. I canât wait to see how youâre going to deal with my huge army!â
âFrom this day onward, the Three Archdukes will cease to exist in the Demon Territory!â
âOnly I, Succubus Archduke, will live!â
A fervent look filled Succubus Archdukeâs face.
âSheâs actually seeking to proclaim herself as King.â
Chu Kuangren could not help but exclaim in amazement as he watched from the sidelines.
âNone of these three archdukes are good.â
âWar Horror Archduke and Black Feather Archduke have placed a seal on the Devil Kingâs body, while Succubus Archduke has poisoned it. All of them are just busy scheming against each other.â
âPoor Devil King.â
âNo one truly wanted to revive her.â
âTsk, youâre quite a failure as a Devil King, huh?â
Chu Kuangren touched his left eye and sighed.
âYou b*stard!â
Having fallen into the trap, Black Feather Archduke was enraged. He forcefully channeled the Devilâs energy inside his new body, eventually managing to suppress the effects of the Devilish Chaos Technique.
He glared at Succubus Archduke. âIâm going to kill you, you wretched demon!â
âUnfortunately, Iâm not your opponent,â Succubus Archduke said with a wry smile.
After that, a razor-sharp aura rose into the air.
It was coming from Chu Kuangren!
He had known earlier on from Lil Aiâs analysis that the Devil Kingâs body, taken over by Black Feather Archduke, was poisoned. From that, he pieced together the facts and deduced that Succubus Archduke had plans of her own.
Hence, he had been waiting for the opportunity.
Now that the golden opportunity had arrived, how could he let it slip?
âOh no!â
Black Feather Archdukeâs expression shifted.
Chu Kuangren leaped into the air while holding the Devil Edge. Strands of razor-sharp qi surrounded that weapon as three thousand Daos manifested, eventually consolidating into a final sword attack.
It wasâ¦
âHeaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!â
With a faint grunt, a dazzling and gorgeous sword ray emerged, shooting across the skies!
The sword ray was so powerful that even Black Feather Archduke started trembling a little.
Before using the Honorable Heart to elevate his cultivation level, Chu Kuangren could already severely injure the black-winged man and Yu Yan, both elite cultivators close to the Supreme Honorable Realm, with that technique, let alone in his current boosted state.
âD*mn it, Black Feather Shockwave Burst!â
Black Feather Archduke roared, and surges of Demon qi swept out.
Millions of feathers gushed forward like a huge torrent, creating powerful explosions wherever it went!
The void shattered and crumbled.
Although Black Feather Archduke had suppressed the Devilish Chaos Technique, it was impossible for him to not be completely unaffected. Compared to earlier, his combat strength had diminished quite a bit.
He could no longer hold off against such an overwhelming sword attack.
The sword qi tore apart the chaotic torrential flow of feathers!
Soon, the attack struck Black Feather Archduke. With his body almost sliced into two, he fell from the sky like a broken kite in the wind, eventually landing on the ground with a thud.
Meanwhile, from his heavily torn-apart body, a colorful Monarchâs Heart swirling with mysterious runes could vaguely be seen.
Succubus Archdukeâs eyes lit up. âQuick, go for the Monarchâs Heart!â
After all, the Devil Kingâs Monarchâs Heart was a crucial part of her plan to become King herself.
Only by possessing Monarch-level strength could she rule over others without fear.
That was why the Devil Kingâs Monarchâs Heart was the best thing to help her become King!
After hearing her order, the black-winged man dashed toward Black Feather Archdukeâs heavily injured body. He reached his hand out, seeking to snatch the Monarchâs Heart away.
However, someone else was faster than him.
It was Chu Kuangren!
His figure disappeared in a flash and appeared before Black Feather Archdukeâs body. He then slashed forward with the Devil Edge, immediately tearing away half of the black-winged manâs body.
There was no way the man could have stopped Chu Kuangren.
âWant to steal my prize, huh? Have you asked for my permission first?â
Chu Kuangren immediately plunged the Devil Edge into Black Feather Archdukeâs body.
In that instant, an incomparably terrifying suction force erupted from the Devil Edge.
Like water being released from a broken dam, powerful Devil energy seeped out from Black Feather Archdukeâs body and was continuously absorbed by Chu Kuangren.
âThis is the Devil Edgeâs unique ability to absorb Devil energy!â Black Feather Archdukeâs eyes widened in shock when he sensed the Devil energy escaping his body.
The ominous purple light in Chu Kuangrenâs left eye grew brighter and brighter as he absorbed more Devil energy. Subsequently, the power of the Devilâs Eye grew much more terrifying.
Stealing the Devilâs energy for his own use was one of Chu Kuangrenâs goals.
Then, he looked at the Monarchâs Heart inside Black Feather Archdukeâs body.
He reached out and tried to tear it out.
However, he noticed that the Monarchâs Heart was connected to the Devil Kingâs body, so he could not take it away without destroying the body first.
âIâll drain his energy first and then go for the heart!â Chu Kuangren thought out loud.
Unfortunately, Succubus Archduke would never stand idly by and let him have his way.
âChu Kuangren, trying to steal what belongs to the devils, huh? In your dreams! Everyone, take him down at once!â Succubus Archduke ordered coldly.
The succubus army that arrived immediately flooded the surroundings.
As Chu Kuangren had expended much energy facing off against Black Feather Archduke, he would eventually be exhausted as he fought against the army.
Besides, he needed to absorb the Devilâs energy while doing so at the same time.
However, he did account for that to happen.
âCultivators of the Darkness Tribe, by my command, fend off the Devil armyâs attack!â
Chu Kuangren commanded indifferently as he took out the Darkness Ruler Amulet.
Hei Xuan, Shui Qianliu, and the others exchanged glances.
Then, they gritted their teeth and stood in front of Chu Kuangren.
It was not only because Chu Kuangren had saved them. Another reason was that Chu Kuangren was now the only one who could help them escape the place.
âIs this the reason why he woke us up?â Shui Qianliu wondered.
He was shocked by how meticulously Chu Kuangren had plotted the situation.
