Within a radius of several hundred miles, other demon kings sensed Alitoto's fury and were puzzled.
"Why is Alitoto so enraged?"
"He seems to be heading towards Wumeng City."
"What does he intend to do?"
"Could it be... he's going to confront the new city lord?"
"Quick, let's go and see!"
The other disturbed demon kings immediately rushed towards Wumeng City.
About ten minutes later, Alitoto arrived at Wumeng City. At his speed, a distance of several hundred kilometers took mere minutes.
"Zhou Hong, you dog of a city lord, come out and die!" Alitoto roared towards Wumeng City from afar, before even entering it.
This shout startled the entire Wumeng City. Those who were eating and drinking found their wine cups and teacups shattered by the sound waves. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Ah? Who is it? Telling the new city lord to die."
"Something big is about to happen. Someone wants to kill the new city lord."
Instantly, all the residents of Wumeng City turned pale with fear. Such an event was a once-in-a-century occurrence.
At the city lord's mansion, Zhou Hong's lips curved slightly, as if he had anticipated this.
"Just as I expected. After receiving my letter, this Alitoto must be furious and come to settle the score. It's perfect timing," Zhou Hong said calmly. He would use Alitoto to make an example of others.
Zhou Hong leaped into the air, standing above Wumeng City.
The entire population of Wumeng City, one hundred million people, looked up at the sky.
Half a second later, a burly man with a full beard flew in from the distance like a meteor, stopping a few hundred meters in front of Zhou Hong. Although many didn't recognize the bearded man, his aura clearly indicated he was no ordinary expert.
However, a significant portion of the crowd on the ground recognized him, their faces filled with shock.
"It's him! Alitoto, the most powerful bandit leader within Wumeng City's jurisdiction." Those who recognized him were stunned.
"You're here!" Zhou Hong smiled faintly at the approaching man, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Are you the new city lord, Zhou Turtle Bastard?" Alitoto spat through gritted teeth.
Zhou Hong deliberately covered his nose and said, "How was the 'shit bomb' I sent you? You must have quite enjoyed the smell."
"Very good, very bold!" Alitoto clenched his fists. The more arrogant Zhou Hong was, the calmer he became. It meant Zhou Hong wouldn't die easily.
At this moment, seven or eight more demon kings arrived from the sky in all directions, eager to witness the spectacle.
"Alitoto, it's you who's bold. Do you think I'm still the same old Luobogan? You send a letter, and I do whatever you say? How laughable. Today, if you kowtow to me three times and pledge to never commit any illegal acts within my territory again, I might leave you with an intact corpse."
"Hahaha, arrogant! It's been a long time since I've encountered such arrogance. You, a second-grade demon master, relying on a fourth-grade demon artifact, dare to spout such nonsense. Today, I will let the entire Wumeng City witness your fate."
Alitoto didn't want to waste any more words and instantly attacked Zhou Hong.
However, before he could reach Zhou Hong, eight figures suddenly appeared. These figures materialized silently, without a trace, as if they had simply appeared. Alitoto was startled.
Upon closer inspection, Alitoto recognized the person at the forefront as the former city lord, Luobogan. The figures behind him seemed to be former demon kings of Wumeng City.
"What... what is happening?"
"Alitoto, today I will use you as a warning to others. I know many other demon kings are watching from the shadows. I hereby declare to all of you observing: today, I will slay Alitoto before your very eyes. As for what the rest of you demon kings will do, you can figure it out yourselves. Kill!" With a thought, Zhou Hong commanded the eight puppets to unleash the Eight Immortals Sword Formation.
"Roar!" The Eight Immortals Sword Formation instantly surrounded Alitoto, and a powerful killing move, like a tidal wave, surged towards him.
"Not good!" Alitoto's face changed. He immediately sensed the immense power of this move, which could almost contend with a fifth-grade demon king.
"How can he have... such power!" Alitoto had no time to think and tried to dodge. However, before he could move, the killing move, like a tidal wave, struck him. An endless sensation, like thousands of ants gnawing at his flesh, penetrated from his skin to his bone marrow.
"Ah!" Alitoto screamed in agony. After the wave-like attack, Alitoto's skin was completely rotted, as if he had been dipped in strong sulfuric acid or pulled from a sea of fire. His former appearance was utterly unrecognizable.
"Wow, what kind of move is this? It's too powerful! It seems to have strong corrosive properties."
On the ground, the onlookers were stunned. Even the demon kings watching from the shadows trembled violently, especially the first-grade demon kings. They recalled how they had previously expected the new city lord to visit them proactively. Now, seeing Zhou Hong effortlessly cripple Alitoto, they felt a shiver run down their spines.
"Alitoto, you a fourth-grade demon king, dare to be arrogant before me? You can't even withstand one of my moves, and you still have the audacity to bark." Zhou Hong snorted coldly. He didn't have the puppets continue their attack. It was only one move from the Eight Immortals Sword Formation, and Alitoto had already lost half his life. Another move would utterly destroy his soul.
"Lord City Lord, spare me! I dare not do it again." Alitoto hastily knelt in the sky, begging for mercy. The arrogance he displayed earlier had vanished.
"A fine 'spare me.' Did you think my words were just wind? I said I would use you as a warning to others. If I spare your life, how can I discipline the monkeys?"
"Lord City Lord, they have all seen my fate from afar. Your objective has been achieved. Please spare me. It was my fault for not recognizing true talent."
"Impossible!"
"Lord City Lord, if you spare my life, I will be your slave, your dog, even your male concubine. Whatever you want, I will do. Please, spare my wretched life!" Alitoto burst into tears, and as if to emphasize his misery, he continued to kowtow.
Zhou Hong's eyes narrowed slightly as he considered whether to spare his life and make him a subordinate.
However, Zhou Hong remembered the former Luobogan, whose act of leniency had led to great disaster. Thus, Zhou Hong hesitated to make such a decision again.
