This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 425: GLORY BELONGS TO TAI SUI
"The Cang Yan Knight is dead?"
The Withered King listened to the news from the Humsinger, hardly able to believe it.
As someone to whom the Cang Yan Knight had once sworn allegiance, the Withered King knew all too well the strength of the Cang Yan Knight.
As a king, he might not excel at combat. But the Cang Yan Knight had built his nation on the battlefield, his greatest trait being his combat prowess.
Although there was a gap in their strengths, the Withered King dared not claim he could kill the Cang Yan Knight.
If the Cang Yan Knight wanted to flee, the Withered King didn’t think he could stop him. Even teaming up with the Shadow Lord might not prevent his escape.
"How could he be dead? How is that possible? Wouldn’t he flee?"
The projection of the Humsinger shook its head: "I don’t know. By the time my avatar arrived, he was already dead without a trace left.
Withered King, bring your elite subordinates to me immediately.
Otherwise, it’ll be too late for anything."
"Go to your place?"
"Our opponents are different from us. Our conflicts are, at most, a balance of interests. Even with the enmity between you and the Cang Yan Knight, it’s not a matter of life and death.
At worst, we could just find another place to develop.
As Immortals, reaching our level is a hundred times harder than for the living.
No one wants to die needlessly at the hands of some inexplicable enemy, ruining their efforts.
But now, our enemy doesn’t engage with us at all.
He wants to utterly annihilate us."
The voice of the Humsinger carried a hint of trembling: "Do you understand? This time is different from before!
I’ve already informed the Phantom Queen and the Shadow Lord.
The four of us must join forces and fight to the death with them to have any chance of survival.
If we remain scattered like this, the outcome will be even worse than that of the Cang Yan Knight!"
The Withered King frowned: "Even so, why go to your base?
Strategically, wouldn’t my place be more suitable?"
"Does your Withered Kingdom have hundreds of Forbidden Curses like mine? Competing on foundations?"
The Withered King fell silent, not foolish enough to compare hidden assets with a Divine Witch Demon.
"Alright, I’m coming right away!"
The Withered King didn’t hesitate further, immediately issuing orders, gathering his elite subordinates, and heading nonstop towards the Humsinger’s domain imperial city.
As for his own territory, as long as the imperial city was protected, he could afford to lose the surrounding lands.
After all, as long as he survived and retained his power, he could always reclaim any territory.
If his life were lost, then there would truly be nothing left.
Not only he, but also the Shadow Lord and the Phantom Queen were persuaded by the Humsinger, bringing their elite forces to the gathering place.
Though each harbored their own agendas, they set aside differences in the face of disaster, ready to work together sincerely!
Meanwhile, in the imperial city of the Knight Domain.
The Three-eyed Corpse Demon was absorbing the last divinity and divine power of the Cang Yan Knight.
After leaving the Holy Flame Bone City, he reached the Knight Domain at the fastest speed.
With the power of Profanation, the proud barrier of the Knight Domain was as fragile as paper, easily shattered!
After breaking through the turtle shell, the Three-eyed Corpse Demon began attacking the Cang Yan Knight.
From the last confrontation, the Cang Yan Knight had already suffered greatly.
His original body had been devoured in the Immortal Bone state by the Three-eyed Corpse Demon, who also learned his Blue Abyssal Flame.
The Cang Yan Knight, now with the body of a Headless Knight, hadn’t recovered from the previous defeat, and was pinned down again by the newly evolved Three-eyed Corpse Demon.
His attacks barely scratched the Three-eyed Corpse Demon, and his pride, the Cang Yan Flames, were completely devoured.
Having failed to escape, he prepared to flee.
Unfortunately, his speed was no match for the Three-eyed Corpse Demon’s demonic claws.
He was caught and directly slain within a short time.
The fall of a god is extremely difficult since divine elements like divine personality, divinity, and the divine foundation are powerful energy crystals.
Destroying them requires immense effort.
A single misstep could allow these gods to return.
But for the Three-eyed Corpse Demon, these issues didn’t exist.
It’s important to note that he himself was a zombie.
In Lette’s initial design, he possessed traits of a Vampire and a Soul Devouring Monster.
He could consume flesh and soul alike.
Moreover, with the power of profanation and demon power given by Lilith.
Combined, these powers could contaminate and assimilate the divinity, divine personality, and divine foundation of any god, making them part of him.
After hunting the Cang Yan Knight, the Three-eyed Corpse Demon immediately devoured these delectables.
Soon after, he let out a belch, dense Blue Abyssal Flames spewing from his mouth and nose.
Having devoured such nourishing items, the Corpse Demon’s power increased another notch.
His current strength reached the peak of a God of Law.
Influenced by demonic power, he now resembled the Demon God pathway.
At this point, of the four remaining leaders, the Shadow Lord and the Phantom Queen were clearly no match for him.
Only the Rule Level Humsinger and the Withered King had the ability to harm him.
Ordinarily, the Three-eyed Corpse Demon should hunt the two other Law Gods, increasing his power to Rule Level by devouring them before tackling the remaining two Rule Level problems.
After all, both Humsinger and Withered King were far stronger than the semi-rule-level Cang Yan Knight.
Moreover, the Three-eyed Corpse Demon didn’t inherently counter them; the battle would be tougher.
Yet, the Three-eyed Corpse Demon sensed that the aura of the four leaders had gathered at the Humsinger’s place.
"So, they’ve teamed up."
The Three-eyed Corpse Demon wiped his mouth, a sharp flash glinting in the third eye on his forehead.
"Do they really think banding together gives them a chance? How laughable!"
He picked up the Spine Greatsword of the Cang Yan Knight from the ground, his hands emanating the newly advanced demon flame, reforging this divine artifact.
"I have promised to dedicate victory to my great master!
How could I possibly give up due to such a minor difficulty?
It’s good that you’ve gathered together.
Let me kill all of you at once."
Saying this, he suddenly thrust a hand into his chest, pulling out two Shattered Bones and a few pieces of Jade Armor, throwing them into the demon flame to forge with the Spine Greatsword.
Soon, a ferocious Wolf Fang Mace appeared in his hand.
The new divine artifact was wrapped in dense demonic qi, with faint sparks of demon flame flickering.
The Three-eyed Corpse Demon hefted it onto his shoulder, shouting loudly.
"Glory! Belongs to the great Tai Sui Heaven!"
