2: Underneath A Thousand Skies

284 This Psychopathic Demon Is Psychic (36)

The four demon lords could not be more familiar with this kind of power.

Chuljang had the look of a dying person refusing to give up on her death bed, and exclaimed through gritted teeth, "Impossible!"

"Impossible or not, the truth is clearly bared in front of you. Look closely, is this kind of thing really impossible?" Song Jia raised an eyebrow.

"How..." This time, it wasn't Chuljang who spoke. It was Yanluo. "How did you do it?"

Yanluo did not like to admit it, but he himself feared the Great Demon King. Even Songdi, the ruler of pride, trembled before His Majesty. How did this girl, whose neck he could have broken easily just days before, suddenly became so powerful now?

Song Jia's red lips curved. She glanced at one direction and curled one finger.

"Jinhai, come here."

A series of panicky footsteps was suddenly heard, and all of the demon lords looked into that direction.

A small figure slowly walked away from the shadows. His arms and legs were short, so he couldn't walk very fast. The soft and white little face was a bit chubby, and he was pursing his small mouth in concentration. It seemed that he was very determined to walk with his usual majestic appearance, but with his short legs, it was destined to be an impossible task from the start.

When the two-year old child finally reached Song Jia, he couldn't help but launch himself into her legs. He gripped her skirt tightly with his small fists, unwilling to let go.

"Jia...you walked so fast..." His milky voice sounded so weak, pouring out his grievances. Because he had been running to catch up to her, he was out of breath. "You, you said...no, no, leaving me behind..."

Song Jia couldn't help but pinch and squeeze his puffed up cheeks. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry."

The four demon lords stared at this scene, and their minds were blank.

In fact, they didn't notice his presence at all. His aura was so weak that it nearly couldn't be felt. It was as if he wasn't a demon, but a mortal. Only when they saw his glacier-like eyes did the truth finally managed to dawn on them.

That child...was their previous Great Demon King?!

Chuljang felt as if she was about to pass out. Her whole body shook, like it received a tremendous shock to her core. The strongest demon she had admired from birth until now...the ruthless tyrant that made her aspire to become strong...

Her three views on life were starting to collapse.

Xu Jinhai knew what was happening to the dais below them. These demon lords had followed him for a very, very long time.

Naturally, he knew how surprised they must be to see him like this.

When Xu Jinhai was only a lower-ranking demon, he was already cruel deep inside his bones. He knew that in this world where the weak was prey to the strong, the only thing he could do was to become even stronger so that he was qualified to step on other people's head.

Later, he started to accumulate power and became an infamous figure in the underworld. Fortunately, he was talented and had powerful abilities, so he carved a bloody path filled with corpses, and finally reached the top. From beginning to end, he never allowed himself to appear weak.

He had always been majestic, intimidating, and repelled the people around him with fear.

This situation...probably, in his whole life, this was the first time he cut such a sorry figure.
