"Empty rejoicing, in the end there is still a fight." Jing Yuanming shook his head, his gaze swept over the crystal in the center of the altar again, he always felt that as a sacrifice, the placement of the blue crystal was a bit delicate.

It's just that he is not an expert, so he didn't delve into it, so he could only write it down and find a professional to interpret it when he went back.

There was no more valuable things to be seen in this direction, so Jing Yuanming was ready to go down and reconnoiter from a different angle to see if he could get more valuable information.

For example, the current high-level combat power situation of Drew City.

There is at least one Demon Commander, but the number of Captains is not clear, and it is necessary to find out.

Looking at the eagle demon beside him who didn't know anything, Jing Yuanming shook his head, but still gave up the idea of killing him before leaving. The commander was already very strong, and even Jing Yuanming was not sure that he would be able to kill him quietly. So it's better not to startle the snake casually.

Hey? Suddenly, Jing Yuanming almost couldn't hold back his exclamation, he immediately dismissed the idea of leaving, and instead took a step forward and looked at the altar with wide eyes.

In addition to the gray-robed men, there were finally other real demons on the altar.

Compared to those gray-robed people whose bodies were unknown, the figures that flew down to the altar were much easier to identify. The devil's horn has a pair of iron-gray wings on its back, and at a glance, it is known that it is a feathered demon clan.

That Eagle Demon is tall, more than twice as tall as the commander of the same clan next to Jing Yuanming, according to the basic common sense of the demon clan - the higher the rank, the bigger the body, it can be seen that the Eagle Demon is definitely above the commander of ten thousand people!

Demon Leader Zoni. Charles!

A name instantly popped into Jing Yuanming's mind. The most famous Eagle Demon Clan Leader in the Remnant Sun Realm, and the Demon Leader who recently guarded the Gate of Dawn.

The real enemy appeared.

But this is not the reason why Jing Yuanming was so surprised, or even almost exposed.

Jing Irising had seen Zoni's information and photos before, but at this moment he didn't dare to confirm whether the demon who was on the altar was Zoni or not—because he was not the demon leader......

It's a demon king!

You can't go wrong, the real Demon King!

This Jing Kite Ming can completely confirm that although he has never seen the real Demon King, he has hunted the Demon Lord more than once.

Therefore, Jing Kite Ming was able to confirm one hundred percent that this Eagle Demon was definitely not a Demon Leader—he was a hundred times more powerful than a Demon Leader!

Courage, coercion, and instinctive fear as a living being...... All of this boils down to the judgment of the demon hunter's keen "sixth sense".

What's more, he wears a certain silver-white crown on his head openly!

Standing there is a king, the king of demons!

Although there is no obvious difference between his appearance and that of an ordinary Eagle Demon, his inner appearance is completely different - it is another level of existence, just from the perspective of the life form itself, the demon king and the demon below the demon king level...... It's just two different species!

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the demon king to be mistaken.

"What's going on?" Jing Yuanming's heart was in turmoil, "Why did a demon king suddenly appear?" Among the seven princes and kings of the Remnant Sun Realm, only the Dark Feather Clan is a Feather Demon, and their patriarch is a Demon King-level Jin Ling, but that guy's wings are golden? And according to intelligence, he did not leave his territory. ”

"What the hell is going on with this gray-haired demon king? Now that there is a demon king, what are they summoning? Jing Kite Ming looked at the magic array that was being prepared on the altar again, "Another demon king? Or is it some existence above the Demon King? ”

Oh no, it's not good!

A strong uneasiness rose in Jing Yuanming's heart, just one more demon king was enough to offset the quality advantage of the expeditionary force! It can be expected that in this war, the human expeditionary force will inevitably suffer heavy losses......

And that's not the worst, the worst thing is this mysterious ritual magic.

The significance is unknown, and the purpose is unknown...... The threat is equally unknown!

For witchers, the unknown is the greatest danger.

Jing Yuanming only glanced at it, and then quickly looked away. The Demon King's perception is extremely keen, and it is likely that he will be directly identified through his gaze.

The danger has risen sharply, and Jing Yuanming is not afraid of the demon leader, but he still has no bottom in his heart about the legendary demon king.

Prepare for retreat. Jing Kite Ming slowly retreated, and he had to turn back as soon as possible and tell his companions behind him to prevent them from accidentally being discovered by the demons.

Jing Yuanming cautiously withdrew her gaze, her gaze swept over the blue crystal again.

A sense of déjà vu finally came to mind after several glances.

"It seems...... Where do you feel like you've seen this crystal? Jing Kite Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the blue crystal again, "Isn't this the big crystal rough that the Knights of the Flame found in the wild a few days ago?" It is said that it contains endless magical power, and it is also intended to be used as the core energy source of the city's guardian magic array! ”

Why? Why is that crystal here?

Jing Yuanming observed again and again to confirm that he had not admitted his mistake. Because at that time, it was not only the Knights of the Flame who discovered the crystal rough, but also several other studios, including the Forest of Thorns, in order to compete for this "infinite energy", they also had a "friendly" exchange with each other, and finally decided the ownership of the crystal.

Closing her eyes, Jing Yuanming recalled the whole incident.

Suppressing the burning anger in his chest, he let out a long breath with the slightest movement possible.

"It turned out to be you......" Jing Yuanming's face was gloomy like water, "The mysterious demon king's army attacked Flame City, and it turned out to be for this crystal!" ”

Jing Kite's heart is like electricity, and the value and significance of this blue crystal need to be re-estimated. He could be sure that the rough crystal was not a sacrifice at all—it was probably the main player in the ritual magic.

It is so important that even a demon king will lead an army on an expedition to the human realm at any cost to take it back!

Jing Yuanming suddenly remembered that he had heard an archmage mention that the "summoning" magic of the demon race was similar to the "resurrection" magic to a certain extent.

After the demons were promoted to the demon king level, the life level underwent a complete qualitative change, and the result was that they would no longer die so easily.

The so-called "resurrection", for the demon king-level demons, is just to re-summon their power from "death".

Therefore, it is likely that the crystal is not a sacrifice for summoning, but a medium for "resurrection"!

That way, everything makes sense!

But Jing Kite Ming doesn't care about that......

"Finally found it, there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes......" The killing intent almost condensed into substance, entwining around Jing Yuanming's side.

In the eyes of the commander next to him, he saw a whirlwind in the clearing around him, and at the same time felt a biting chill.

"What's that?" The Eagle Demon Thousand Master muttered to himself, pulling out the long sword made of his own feathers and stabbing it tentatively.

I saw a slight flicker in the shadows in front of him, and the Eagle Demon's proud excellent eyesight did not have time to play the slightest role, the faint gray was like a light breeze, and his right hand holding the sword broke at the wrist, and fell weakly with the long sword.

In front of his eyes, a pair of cold and silent eyes appeared, and the undisguised killing intent condensed into a short sword that seemed to be like substance, piercing his soul.

For a moment, the dignified demon was stiff and unable to react.

There was no blood left, and the section of the wrist was an ominous grayish-black, and the flesh was dry.

One of the king's exclusive weapons, the Chin Yuan Thorn. The short sword, shaped like a bee's sting, has a blade on one side, and the blade is highly poisonous, and if it is hit, the animal will die, and the grass and trees will wither!

It's just that the Commander is a promoted creature, and it is no longer in the "normal" category, so it has some resistance to this instant death attack.

But there is Chin Yuan in the left hand and a mole horn in the right hand!

The immobile commander seemed to have just remembered to shout for help, or at least inform the whole city of the enemy invasion.

Jing Kite didn't give him this chance, and another short sword pierced his head from the bottom up, pinning the warning into the demon's throat.

The Mole Horn Sword, a powerful weapon that also has the ability to die, is a legendary weapon that has been passed down by the successive presidents of the Forest of Thorns. The training method of using the Demon Slayer has raised it to a level that is enough to threaten the commander.

No matter how tenacious the vitality of the thousand-commander level demon is, being stabbed by the horns of the mole is also certain to die.

The demon's tall body fell silently, and Jing Yuanming reached out to support it, without making a sound.

Jing Yuanming brazenly assassinated to vent the anger and killing intent in his heart, and he did not live up to the title of "King of Assassins" at the peak of his prime, as fast as thunder and quietly.

Even the demon on duty in a nearby house didn't notice anything unusual.
