--- Chapter 100 ----
Duke Ming floated in the sky with a few people behind him. They are his supporters in this act of villainizing Yun Canghai to the ground. After Yun Canghai's declaration, Duke Ming only had three choices to settle this matter. Surrender, Fighting Back, or Framing Yun Canghai as the villain.
He chose the last choice because surrendering and fighting back against Little Demon Empress is not a good choice. Even though Huan Caiyu's political power became weaker in hundred years, she is still heir to the Golden Crow's inheritance.
Also, Twelve Guardian Family is still backing the Little Demon Empress up. Duke Ming won't let Yun Canghai's sudden announcement mess with his grand scheme.
"That's Duke Ming?"
"He's... Weak."
An indifferent comment echoed in the area, and it was from a young man with a half-destroyed coat. He's no more than 18 years with unkempt black hair and a pair of golden eyes. Duke Ming frowned a little when hearing Hayate's uninterested statement.
"Huai, deal with him. I'll take care of Yun Canghai here." Duke Ming instructed his son while moving his gaze back to the Demon King. He released his 10th stage of Sovereign Profound Realm's cultivation, pressuring everyone in the area.
A barrier covered the whole Profound Demon City, but it was still shaken by Duke Ming's mere presence even so. Luna summoned a key-shaped sword and stabbed it against the air, causing pure white energy to wrap around the city.
"This... The barrier?" Liu Mei glanced at Luna with a surprised look. She knew their barrier wouldn't hold up against Sovereign Profound Realm's cultivators like Duke Ming and Yun Canghai, but to think a little girl could resist such pressure is mind-blowing.
She hugged Luna from behind and rubbed her head, "Little Sister, you're amazing~!"
"Hehe~! Praise this cute Luna even more!" Luna puffed her chest proudly. Even though Luna couldn't mess with the fight directly because it would change the future, that doesn't mean she will let people die here and there.
The little prankster glanced at Hayate and hoped everything went according to the future she foresaw a few hours ago. She hasn't noticed any significant changes in the future path, which is a good thing.
"That was a horrible move." Yun Canghai said while giving Duke Ming a smirk. After all, this wicked man sent his son to hell by fighting Hayate. Yun Canghai isn't even sure he could win against that young man.
Duke Ming scoffed and replied, "He's just a kid. Just what kind of treat could he impose on my son? Yun Canghai, you're rusty as ever."
The Demon King's smirk slowly widened into a grin because he wanted to see Duke Ming's hopeless expression later. This piece of shit is why he and the Demon Emperor suffered so much in the past. He'd enjoy Duke Ming's suffering plentifully.
Yun Canghai used the Profound Handle and summoned purple lightning from his body. He flashed to Duke Ming and launched a fist at him.
BAM!
A man with feathery wings appeared before Yun Canhai and stopped his first with a shield. However, a blue light suddenly transformed into a spear and pierced through the winged man's heart.
Cough!
Yun Canghai kicked the man away and advanced toward Duke Ming with a bloodthirsty smile. "I've been waiting for One hundred years!!" He roared while throwing the blue spear at Duke Ming.
CLANK! BOOM!
Duke Ming raised his hand and created a barrier to reduce the blue spear's acceleration. Then, His eyes widened because Yun Canghai's projection throughly was coated in purple lightning. It reduced his barrier to a spider-web crack mess.
As the blue spear pierced through the barrier, Duke Ming clenched his fist and launched a fiery fist.
SWOOSH! BAM!
"Your cultivation is declining, Yun Canghai."
"BUT It's MORE ENOUGH TO BEAT YOU!"
Duke Ming successfully repelled the spear away, but Yun Canghai arrived beside him and kicked his stomach.
"Purple Mist Lightning." Yun Canghai struck Duke Ming's abdomen and sent him to the nearest mountain. "I'll beat the living shit out of you, Ming. I swear on the Demon Emperor's name that you tricked him to fall under those holy lands' trap."
"AFTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS, I, YUN CANGHAI, SURVIVED! I'LL BRING JUSTICE TO THE ILLUSOrY DEMON REALM!!" That bold declaration echoed 20 kilometers away, crackling like thunderous crashes.
Duke Ming spatted his teeth and declared, "Everyone, attack the Demon King!"
The people following Duke Ming moved and surrounded Yun Canghai with sort of artifacts in their hands.
"Demon Sealing Arrays."
Fifteen black lights intertwined and quickly wrapped around Yun Canghai's body. It released some unknown characters and caused the Demon King's body to harden for some reason.
Crack!
"How??"
Yun Canghai broke the sealing and turned the blue spear into a bunch of raindrops. Bright purple lightning coated his body like invisible armor, charging the raindrops with the highest voltage he could do.
"Piercing Lightning Raindrops." He wildly waved his hand down.
Duke Ming watched over a thousand small purple orbs shake the sky and fried his followers into burnt corpses. Yun Canghai's cultivation was weaker, but he seemed to create other deadly techniques. Duke Ming couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration inside.
He knew Yun Canghai was trapped in the Demon Sealing Arrays at the Profound Sky Continent like a caged injured animal. Never in his wildest dream did Yun Canghai survive in that situation. No, he didn't just live through that but also became more powerful.
'You left me with no choices.' Duke Ming brought out a small vial filled with black liquid. He drank it instantly, destroying the vial with his grip.
He soared to the sky again and pulled a dangerous-looking sword. He gathered his profound energy and attacked Yun Canghai with an energy slash.
BOOM!
"CANGHAI!" Duke Ming yelled while throwing relentless energy slashes at Yun Canghai. It caused a storm in the sky, pushing aside several clouds.
Yun Canghai didn't hold back and used his raindrops to repulse Duke Ming's attacks. They kept attacking each other in the sky, destroying the landscapes.
...
Hayate crossed his arm casually and glanced at Duke Huai, sent by Duke Ming. This man possessed the 5th Sovereign Profound Realm, but something was weird about his body.
Duke Huai is a man with an elegant appearance, adorning a white tunic. He has a natural arrogance air around his body, boosting his superiority complex.
"Do you need something?" Hayate smirked while watching Yun Canghai fight against Duke Ming. He doesn't spare a glance at Duke Huai because this man is weak. Martial artist's aura isn't coming from him, not even a bit.
"Brat, your comment before. I'll rip your mouth apart for it and give it to my father." Duke Huai rushed to Hayate.
Hayate waited for Duke Huai's hand to approach him and dodged at the last moment, grabbing it quickly. "Learn how to talk first." He kicked Duke Huai's left leg and destroyed his balance, slamming him to the ground in a fluid motion.
BAM!
Cheon Ma stared at Duke Huai with a weird look. This guy's cultivation realm is higher than theirs, but his instinct is poor.
Duke Huai was lying on the ground and stared at Hayate with a shocked look.
"T-This, you brat! I'll pay this humiliation with your death!" He furiously slammed his hand on the ground.
Cracks!
Hayate was covered with green electricity and disappeared from the area while dragging Cheon Ma away.
"Why did you help me?" Cheon Ma questioned with a frown.
Hayate smiled and replied, "Hmm, I can't let my new subordinate die, no?"
Cheon Ma shook his head helplessly because this kid was surely keeping his word. He expected no less from someone who could kick Heavenly Demon's ultimate attack away.
Hayate threw Cheon Ma on the Profound Demon City's entrance and returned to Duke Huai's location, leaving green lightning on the field.
"Stay there." He commented casually.
"Tch, can he at least be more gentle? These old bones of mine are injured because of him too." The Heavenly Demon groaned a little with annoyance.
...
Hayate returned to Duke Huai and noticed everything leveled down into flat land. Even though he had destroyed this place by fighting Cheon Man, Duke Huai made it worse, leaving nothing but ruined land.
SWOOSH!
"Oh?" He took one step back and leaned his body to the left, dodging Duke Huai's attack.
Duke Huai was consumed with anger and kept launching attacks at Hayate. Still, no matter how much power he used. He couldn't reach Hayate's body. His cultivation might be at the 5th stage of Sovereign Profound Realm, but his martial art is not.
BAM!
"Slow." Hayate ducked down and used Arang on to nullify Duke Huai's attack. It erased the arrogant man's momentum, leaving some easy way for Hayate to defeat him.
That's until Duke Huai brought out a black-colored orb from his spatial ring and threw it to Hayate.
POOF!
Ominus smoke surrounded Hayate, making him frown slightly because this gas felt similar. As he expected, everything changed around Hayate, becoming a dark land.
"Illusion-inducing gas."
"No, fear-inducing gas is a more appropriate name." He added while using his senses. He could feel Duke Huai's presence not far away from him.
Then, a corpse appeared before Hayate. A familiar-looking woman's corpse.
"Coach?'
Another corpse appeared.
"Koyori?"
One after another, Hayate's loved ones appeared in their lifeless appearances and hugged him with low muffling cries of misery.
Hayate knew this was an illusion. He knew it very well because he was the one who designed this ability for his Kaiju. However, this also triggers something within him.
Anger.
Duke Huai used the illusion of his loved ones dying to destroy his morale to fight. How could Hayate not be angry?
He was confident in his ability, but Duke Huai showcased something Hayate feared the most. What if he wasn't strong enough?
It is a possibility that Hayate always considered, but experiencing it in an illusion is downright shameful.
"Hayate?" Jasmine's voice echoed in his mind.
"A-Are you okay?"
Hayate's pride is his most noticeable quality. And hurting his loved ones, even in a mere illusion, stung quite a lot for him.
"Haa..." Hayate released an annoyed sigh.
...
"H-Hayate?"
A smile filled with killing intent suddenly plastered on Hayate's face.
After using Illusion Pearl on Hayate, Duke Huai prepared to kill him with a swift strike.
"DIE!!!"
BAM!
CoUGH!
Before Duke Huai could launch his attack, Hayate quickly turned around and grabbed his neck. His golden eyes shone with a tingle of crimson light.
The Demon Duke Junior shivered when feeling Hayate's massive killing intent. It's like facing an ancient beast.
It's not just Duke Huai but everyone within a 20-kilometers radius. They trembled in fear.
Duke Ming and Yun Canghai stopped awkwardly in the middle of their intense fights.
"Oh no..." Yun Canghai muttered with a surprised look. "What's your idiot son doing?!! He's awakening a beast that must not get provoked!"
"That young man... is a monster."
BOOM!
Hayate slammed Duke Huai to the ground and created a deep crater.
"Hey, do you know that demons can cry too?" He smiled gently.
