"What do we do?"
Seeing the human powerhouses making a move, the demon kings couldn't help but ask Bai Ling, who was at the front.
"What are you afraid of?"
Bai Ling tilted her head, her voice full of pride, "With me here, what do you have to fear?"
"I'm not bragging, but as long as I show up, these human powerhouses won't dare to lay a hand on us. Instead, they'll have to clear a path for us!"
Upon hearing this, the demon kings were somewhat curious about what methods Bai Ling would employ. However, as the human powerhouses drew closer, they couldn't ask too many questions and could only pretend to be calm as they followed behind Bai Ling.
"What are you doing? Trying to block our way?"
At this moment, Bai Ling had already walked up to the crowd of humans. She stood on her hind legs, raised her front limbs high, and shouted as she slowly walked forward.
Simultaneously, white light flashed around her, enveloping her completely.
As the white light dissipated, Bai Ling disappeared, replaced by a woman of exquisite beauty and graceful form.
"It's you!"
Seeing Bai Ling's appearance, the human powerhouses' expressions changed drastically. "Wang Hao was killed by you?"
Wang Hao was the human powerhouse who had previously hunted Bai Ling, and he was a top-tier expert in his country.
"So what if it was? So what if it wasn't?"
Bai Ling was fearless. She took another step forward, placing her hands on her hips, her head tilted high, and said with an arrogant air, "Aren't you curious how I escaped from Wang Hao and returned unharmed?"
As she spoke, Bai Ling's beautiful eyes subtly glanced at the armed helicopters hovering in the air, creating a rumbling sound.
The human powerhouses were shocked by her words and couldn't help but ponder what she had said.
Bai Ling's strength was not great; she only possessed the ability to transform.
According to their expectations, Wang Hao should have been able to kill Bai Ling.
Yet, now Bai Ling was not only alive but had reappeared before them completely unharmed.
Everything that had happened behind the scenes was worth deep consideration by everyone.
If Bai Ling had managed to kill Wang Hao through sheer luck, it was impossible. Even if Wang Hao had been unlucky, his strength would have surely dealt a severe blow to Bai Ling.
It was impossible for Bai Ling to be completely unscathed, as she appeared now.
Considering this, the human powerhouses exchanged glances, their brows furrowed as they pondered the hidden reasons behind Bai Ling's survival.
"And aren't you curious how we crossed the line?"
"And don't you wonder why I dared to come back?"
"How did I break through the encirclement and return?"
Bai Ling swept her gaze over the human powerhouses, a smile playing on her lips as she continued to question them.
The expressions of the human powerhouses shifted slightly, and their hearts grew more bewildered.
Indeed!
Bai Ling's three consecutive questions struck at the core of their confusion.
Why did Bai Ling dare to return? How did she enter the area under their tight surveillance, a fact they were unaware of?
And then there was the most crucial matter.
They had just discussed whether demon beasts could cross the line.
They couldn't fathom how Bai Ling and the other demon beasts had emerged unscathed.
If that line had been harmless, they wouldn't have lost an arm.
These demon beasts should have been annihilated by them long ago.
Unless...
Suddenly, the human powerhouses trembled. An incredible thought struck their minds.
Everyone knew that the line had been drawn by a mysterious powerhouse.
This meant that the demon beasts had not encountered any resistance from this mysterious powerhouse when they crossed the line.
In other words.
That mysterious powerhouse was on the side of the demon beasts!
Hiss!
This speculation caused the expressions of the human powerhouses to change slightly.
The idea was incredibly astonishing and hard to believe.
Yet, apart from this possibility, they could not explain how the demon beasts had crossed the line.
And how Bai Ling had killed Wang Hao and returned.
"You're very curious, aren't you?"
Seeing their expressions, Bai Ling's smile widened. "I might as well be merciful and tell you."
"It was that mysterious powerhouse who saved me before, and it was I who asked that mysterious powerhouse to come!"
"Them!"
Bai Ling waved her hand, pointing to the demon kings behind her, and declared loudly, "I vouch for them!"
"If you dare to lay a hand on us, prepare to be beheaded at any moment!"
As she spoke, Bai Ling's expression was calm.
In reality, she was panicking internally.
Although everything she said was true, the biggest problem was that Ao Yuan had already left.
If these people were to make even a probing move, all her claims would be shattered in an instant.
That would be disastrous.
"My Lord Dragon God! Please protect me."
"May your might deter them, otherwise, I'm finished!"
She prayed silently in her heart, while on the surface, Bai Ling continued to nonchalantly glance at the human powerhouses.
The demon kings dared not even breathe heavily, their bodies taut, ready to defend against any sudden attack from the human powerhouses.
By now, they understood Bai Ling's plan perfectly. She was clearly trying to deceive these human powerhouses by leveraging Ao Yuan's name!
Frankly, they didn't think it was a good plan.
If they were in the humans' shoes, they would definitely not let Bai Ling and her group go.
At least!
They would try to test them, and any attempt would expose the deception.
However, they were unaware.
At this very moment, the human powerhouses were in a state of intense dilemma.
Just as the demon beasts had guessed, they were eager to test their mettle.
But they also feared that Bai Ling's words were true, and such an attempt would result in their immediate demise at the hands of the mysterious powerhouse.
This was the biggest difference between humans and demon beasts.
Demon beasts had simpler minds and didn't overcomplicate things.
Humans, however, thought much more deeply.
They even considered the possibility that Bai Ling was telling the truth, and if they were to act rashly, it might have repercussions for their respective countries if the mysterious powerhouse retaliated.
"What should we do?"
The human powerhouses exchanged glances, seeing the deep hesitation in each other's eyes.
After a moment of waiting, seeing that the human powerhouses appeared suspicious and uncertain yet still unwilling to retreat, Bai Ling suddenly clutched her chest, feigning fear. "Ouch, why are so many of you surrounding us?"
"Are you trying to kill us?"
"If you really want to kill us, then just come at us!"
"We... we are just a bunch of remnants. How could we possibly defeat you!"
As she spoke, Bai Ling's tone suddenly turned cold. "If you're not brave enough, then get out of our way immediately."
With that, Bai Ling took the lead and walked out.
"Let's go!"
The other demon kings, seeing this, followed closely.
After walking a few steps, indeed, no human powerhouse dared to block their path.
However, just as the demon kings thought Bai Ling's plan had succeeded.
"Stop!"
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
