"I came this time, unrelated to the Judgment Department."
Wang Junze naturally understood what the whale meant, and didn't ask for more, even if it meant pulling out the tiger skin of the Judgment Department.
If the Judgment Department were to get involved, it would only complicate matters further. Moreover, that Director of the Judgment Department is not someone easy to deal with. If he knew Wang Junze was using his name to intimidate the Demon King of the Nether Sea, it's hard to predict what the consequences would be.
It's merely an excuse for the whale to intervene, so it's better to keep it clean.
"Since I've taken over the Netherworld City, I have nothing to do with the Court or the Four Great Celestial Sects... I came to discuss the matters of the Nether Sea with the Demon Kings. But... since the Demon Kings don't look favorably upon me, let's have a fight first and then talk."
The sword edge slightly raised, Wang Junze said arrogantly, "Who dares to fight?"
"You're really arrogant, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Stepping forward, the Sea Patrol Yaksha stated grimly, "Old Whale, you said it, if we duel alone, even if I kill him, you won't intervene?"
"Naturally!"
Before the whale could answer, Wang Junze directly replied, "If I can't even defeat you, what right do I have to be the Lord of the Nether Sea? If I'm truly that overconfident, then even if I die, I deserve it!"
"Alright!"
As soon as the words fell, the Sea Patrol Yaksha's figure shook, and a black steel fork appeared in his hand, stabbing fiercely at Wang Junze.
Boom!
Demonic winds rose fiercely, and as the fork stabbed out, it instantly stirred up a terrifying giant wave on the sea surface, its might overwhelming.
"Buzz!"
With a slight tremor of the sword edge in his hand, Wang Junze neither avoided nor retreated, slashing with his sword towards the terrifying giant wave.
Water Sword Intent!
In the sea, it was also Wang Junze's domain. For the opponent to use the power of the sea against him was simply a joke.
The sword split the waves, and the sword edge struck the steel fork, releasing a sound of clashing metal. Both figures retreated simultaneously, and this strike resulted in a draw.
For Wang Junze, this was expected, but for these Demon Kings, it was already shocking enough.
Both demons and Wang Junze had been in the Nether Sea for many years, and these three Demon Kings were well aware of each other's strength. Although they had some special means, their overall strength wasn't very different.
Although the Sea Patrol Yaksha's strike was mostly a test, it was clear Wang Junze hadn't exerted his full strength!
Being able to withstand this strike also meant that Wang Junze could withstand their attacks.
This is just Entering the Path!
For a moment, the three Demon Kings simultaneously recalled recent rumors about Wang Junze.
Could it be that the rumors of him killing a Saint Realm powerhouse are indeed true?
"Yaksha Patrol Sea!"
With a hint of killing intent in his eyes, the Sea Patrol Yaksha showed a trace of irritation, immediately displaying his divine skill. In an instant, the seawater underfoot surged into a terrifying vortex; at the same time, his body expanded tenfold, revealing his true form.
With a green face and tusks, standing at a height of four or five zhang, he treaded the waves, stirring the sea into a black domain, pressing down fiercely.
Path Domain!
These Demon Kings, like the Saint Realm powerhouses of the Human Race, had terrifying comprehension of the Great Path. At this moment, using their innate divine skill, their strength soared dramatically. Without Saint Realm strength, one would instantly be pulverized under such an attack.
At this point, Wang Junze dared not show any arrogance, slightly raising his sword edge, simultaneously unleashing the Sword Domain!
In an instant, the Sword Intent erupted, evolving into a huge black and white chessboard around him, clashing head-on with the opponent's Path Domain.
"Crack!"
At this level of confrontation, there was no room for probing. At the first move, it was a life-or-death struggle, with death a constant threat. No one dared to hold back.
Countless Sword Intent erupted, each wave bombarding the opponent's Path Domain.
As sword edge and steel fork met again, it seemed in a moment they clashed dozens to hundreds of times. The ferocious aftershock from the battle alone was enough to easily annihilate any being below the Saint Realm.
Sword Qi surged, as Sword Domain collided with Path Domain, directly shattering the surrounding void, with surrounding waves shattered further, seeming like a vast rain falling!
Such strength!
Whether it was the Sea Patrol Yaksha or the other two Demon Kings, their expressions grew more solemn watching the battle.
Even with their perspective, it was impossible to determine who would win.
As for Guan Qin, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Back at the Guan Family, when he and Hai Feng joined forces against Wang Junze, Wang Junze certainly did not possess this strength, otherwise, he might have been dead already.
The reason Wang Junze's strength soared again... was because of the Purple Sky Divine Monarch. However, even he couldn't comprehend what kind of benefits the Purple Sky Divine Monarch had given Wang Junze to cause such a tremendous change.
Thinking carefully again about the benefits the Purple Sky Divine Monarch gave to the Guan Family... the disparity was truly excessive.
Reflecting on this, Guan Qin couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the heart of the Purple Sky Divine Monarch, Wang Junze was probably the real heir, while the Guan Family was nothing more than the servant driven by him.
However, as it is now, it's favorable. It also allowed him to sever all hopeless notions; as long as Wang Junze lives, whether it be him or the Guan Family, the benefits to be gleaned from Wang Junze would only increase.
Wang Junze naturally didn't know what others were thinking in their hearts.
After a brief confrontation, Wang Junze also had a clear assessment of the Sea Patrol Yaksha's strength.
The strength of these Demon Kings is actually not as good as Jingchen. If he didn't have to face three Demon Kings simultaneously, Wang Junze wouldn't even need the whale's assistance; he could slay them directly.
But now... should he really kill them?
To kill them, Wang Junze must go all out, consuming a great deal of energy. If the other two Demon Kings seize the opportunity to attack, it would be hard to withstand.
Moreover, it's hard to predict how they would react.
With a slight shift in thoughts, Wang Junze suddenly spoke, "Demon Kings, if this battle continues, one of us will die. How about we stop here and sit down to renegotiate?"
"The battle isn't over; there's nothing to discuss. I want to see what skills you have to kill me!"
With a hint of ferocity in his eyes, the Sea Patrol Yaksha disdainfully mocked.
Although Wang Junze's current display is strong, it is merely similar to him; there is nothing to fear. In his view, Wang Junze is still just Entering the Path.
If he had entered the Saint Realm, he would surrender without hesitation, but for now... lowering his head to an Entering the Path is a humiliation he cannot bear.
"What do you both say?"
Turning his gaze to the other two Demon Kings, Wang Junze inquired again.
"Haha, we at the Nether Sea have always respected strength. If you truly have the ability to kill Yaksha, no matter your conditions, we will agree to them."
Upon hearing this, the Black Flame Demon King laughed and replied.
Their thoughts were similar to the Sea Patrol Yaksha's; Wang Junze's initiative to propose a negotiation was seen as a sign of weakness.
Now, the strength Wang Junze exhibits is enough to negotiate with them, but in negotiations, naturally, whoever is stronger has more confidence. Forcing Wang Junze to bow first is more advantageous.
"Remember what you said!"
Upon hearing their words, Wang Junze realized that although they are Demon Kings of the Nether Sea, their relationships might not be good. In such a situation, even if Yaksha is killed, it might not provoke them to attack desperately.
If that's the case, he might as well act decisively to truly intimidate them.
With this thought, Wang Junze hesitated no longer. In an instant, the power within him erupted, and the entire Sword Domain burst open, transforming into a sword, slashing fiercely toward the Sea Patrol Yaksha!
In a blur, Wang Junze seemed to enter the state of memory transmission again, following the demonstration of Ye Piaoling's example, slashed out a sword!
Boom!
The sword strike instantly revealed an indescribable sense of mystique.
"Poof!"
In an instant, the sword light surged, and as the black and white chessboard shattered, countless Sword Qi surged out, causing the entire world to pale before this sword!
The Sea Patrol Yaksha couldn't react. The massive body was abruptly shattered by the sword!
"Chess Swordsmanship?!!!"
In an instant, the whale's expression changed dramatically, eyes revealing an indescribable fear, and he cried out in surprise.
"What?"
The other two Demon Kings, unaware of Chess Swordsmanship, were also terrified by the sword.
It was too horrifying!
If they were in the same position, no one could have blocked this sword.
Furthermore, they didn't know Chess Swordsmanship, but they knew the old whale has lived since ancient times. A sword technique recognized by him must be the top ancient legacy.
Could it be Wang Junze has ancient powerhouses backing him?
In a moment, the overwhelming sword light dispersed, and the Sea Patrol Yaksha's divine soul couldn't escape, being destroyed entirely in a single strike.
In the sky, it was as if a rain of blood started!
Saint Fall!
No one could have anticipated that within just a fleeting moment, Wang Junze truly slayed a Demon King.
As the Sword Domain dissipated, Wang Junze's face showed slight paleness, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he turned to the other two Demon Kings, "Now... can we renegotiate?"
"..."
For a moment, the two Demon Kings couldn't help but show a hint of struggle in their eyes.
They also saw that Wang Junze was in poor condition. If they acted now, there might be a chance to kill him.
But...
"Do the two Demon Kings wish to fight me?"
Just as the two hesitated, the whale's eyes flashed with determination, and he shouted in a deep voice.
Earlier, he had helped because of Wang Junze's threat, but now, after witnessing the sword strike, the whale's allegiance shifted entirely.
The successor of Ye Piaolingโฆ must not die here!
