Even if they had already guessed it, hearing the confirmation from Meng Lei still sent shockwaves across the hall.
“Cador had been in the Prefecture Master position for more than 40,000 years, plus he was one of the stronger one of the 108 Prefecture Masters. Who would have thought he was killed!”
“Do any of you know this guy?”
“I don’t know who he is!”
“Never seen him before!”
“Never heard of him at all!”
“That’s weird! To think that such a nameless guy could kill Prefecture Master Cador, it just sounds fishy...”
“Scoundrel! My big brother had been a solid Ice Demon Prefecture Master for over 40,000 years, proving his combat prowess! How could a little scoundrel like you defeat him head-on?”
Prefecture Master Cato’s demonic aura was surging as its eyes were bursting with flames of rage. “Own up now! How did you assassinate my brother?”
“Assassinate?” Meng Lei sneered, “Why do I need to plan an assassination when it’s just Cador? You’ve overestimated him.”
“How dare you disrespect my big brother!”
Cato was enraged further as his overwhelming aura attacked Meng Lei.
If it were an ordinary Great Demon God, it would have struck onto the ground. However, Meng Lei did not even move as if the suppressive aura was a breeze.
“In Dark Hell Continent, power speaks the loudest!” Meng Lei snapped his fingers and continued coldly. “Since Cador was weaker than me, isn’t it normal for me to look down on it?”
“Since power speaks the loudest,” Prefecture Master Cato’s eyes were spitting fire, “Do you dare to fight me?”
A hint of joy flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes as they lit up. This fellow was a genuine mid-level Great Demon God, which killing it should at least earn him 60 million Divinity Crystals from the system.
Not forgetting the spatial ring it carried around...
“Why? So you’re afraid?”
As Meng Lei did not reply, Prefecture Master Cato thought Meng Lei was afraid as its voice became even bitter.
“What is there to fear?” Meng Lei hummed. “If you want a battle, we shall have one. Why would I be afraid of you?”
“Follow me then!”
Cato left these three words behind as it turned into a fiery beam that shot out of the palace. A smile appeared on Meng Lei’s face as he followed suit.
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s go out and take a look!”
The various Prefecture Masters, princes, and princesses could not sit still as they got out of the palace. They all flew above the palace as they anticipated the battle that was about to start.
No-one stopped them!
And no one would ever think of it!
In the Demon’s world, only the strong were revered. Thus, they would settle any disagreement with a fight.
Conflict? Feud?
Fight it out, and it’s settled!
Just do it!
Chapter 341: Killing Cato Instantly, An Assembly of The Powerful
Chilly winds blew as thick smoke roiled.
Meng Lei and Prefecture Master Cato stood facing each other with a great distance between them above the tall, magnificent volcano. They were at swords’ point and ready to fight any moment. A short distance away, the other Prefecture Masters, princes, princesses, royalty, and officials were also watching the battle with rapt attention.
A handsome and attractive youth with black hair and black eyes asked, “Dear Prefecture Masters, between the two of them, who do you think will win?”
He was the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom’s Eldest Prince and was also a Divine Netherworld Phoenix with the purest bloodline. His combat strength was in no way inferior to the many Prefecture Masters present.
“Prefecture Master Cador and Prefecture Master Cato were evenly matched. If that man had really defeated Cador by his own strength, then he would undoubtedly emerge victoriously,” replied one of the Prefecture Masters without hesitation.
“That is certainly so!”
The other Prefecture Masters nodded in agreement.
Everyone knew that Cador and Cato were brothers who were evenly matched. Since Meng Lei could defeat Cador, then he would be able to defeat Cato for sure. There was no doubt about that.
“However...!”
The same Prefecture Master suddenly changed the course of the conversation at this point. Suspicion filled its speech as it said, “That new Ice Demon Prefecture Master appears extremely unfamiliar to the eye. If memory serves me right, it seems like an expert like him has never existed in the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom—or even the Dark Hell Continent—before!”
“Prefecture Master Cyril, you mean—”
The astonished Eldest Prince cocked an eyebrow and prompted it to go on.
“No matter what, Prefecture Master Cador was undoubtedly still an old-timer mid-level Great Demon God. Up-and-coming rising stars are no match for it.”
A smiling Cyril said, “Perhaps Prefecture Master Cato was right, and that fellow had indeed used some kind of dishonest method to defeat Prefecture Master Cador.”
“That makes sense!”
“That kid looks awfully unfamiliar to the eye. He’s likely a young one that’s only just emerged during these recent few years. How could a mere junior have been Prefecture Master Cador’s match?”
“There are only a few experts in the whole of Dark Hell Continent who could kill Prefecture Master Cador, and it definitely doesn’t include that fellow who came out of god knows where!”
“Going by what everyone is saying, that newly-appointed Ice Demon Prefecture Master won’t be Prefecture Master Cato’s match, then?” asked the Eldest Prince with his eyebrows raised.
“That’s most likely the case!”
“It’s more likely than not that he was able to kill Prefecture Master Cador because he had used some kind of dishonest means!”
“Yes, that must be it...”
Meng Lei and Cato’s battle had already begun while the Prefecture Masters were still engaged in speculation. Fury burst forth from Cato as it roared deeply, “You despicable young one who knows no shame! I will avenge Big Brother Cador and make you pay a heavy price for your despicable actions!”
A flash of fire shot by immediately
