Jiang Li was very depressed.

A sword prodigy like me cannot actually be recognized by the Demon Sword?

This demon sword really has no regard for people!

Rubbish!

"Give me back my magic sword!"

Yu Jian Xiangye looked pale.

His strength was already crushed, and the loss of his magic sword made him even more helpless.

Even the voice asking for the magic sword became less confident, completely different from the confident look before.

"How can I possibly give it back to you!"

Before Jiang Li could speak, Yasaka Airi interrupted.

"Even if Your Majesty cannot use this magic sword, I can't give it back to you. Is your head okay?"

She was even so happy that she started to taunt.

Yuuki Mikado is the third most powerful person on the adventurer ranking list of the ancient kingdom of Belze. He has the strength to rival the cadres of the Demon King's army, and almost all of his strength lies in that magic sword.

As long as the magic sword is taken away, this man who has a bounty of over 200 million in the Demon King's army and can be called a formidable enemy of the Demon King's army will be completely destroyed!

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the Demon King's army!

"Give it back to you."

But the next moment, Jiang Li threw the magic sword to Yu Jian Xiangye.

It was as if he regarded the magic sword as trash and discarded it like a worn-out shoe.

"Your smile is so ugly."

Jiang Li saw the expression on her face, which was as troubled as a constipated parrot.

“…Whose fault do you think it is?!”

Yasaka Airi roared in despair.

"Why did you return the Demon Sword to him? You saw how powerful that Demon Sword was. If you had returned it to him, it would have caused enormous damage to our Demon King's army!"

What on earth does this demon king want to do?!

The power of the Demon Sword Grame is obvious to all, as evidenced by the fact that it can threaten Orichalcum. Even Jiang Li cannot do this easily, and one has to admit that its power is indeed very strong.

Jiang Li just smiled and looked at her, as if he was looking at an idiot.

Then, without saying a word, his gaze returned to Yukihime Yuuki.

"...He actually came back?"

Yu Jian Xiangye was completely confused.

He never expected that the Demon King would actually be willing to return his magic sword. This sudden development made his brain go blank for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

"Yu Jian, right? You rely too much on the power of the magic sword. Once you lose the magic sword, you will be nothing!"

Jiang Li spoke in a deep voice.

There was a look of unwillingness on Yu Jian Xiangye's face. He wanted to say a few words in rebuttal but they were all stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.

Even he himself knew that he was too dependent on the magic sword.

But he only has the magic sword as a plug-in. What else can he rely on if not the magic sword?

"You're not even qualified to get close to me right now, but you have great potential and are qualified to be my toy. Go back and continue to hone yourself. I hope you can let me use the third finger next time."

Yu Jian Xiangye looked extremely angry.

He was severely underestimated by his enemies. This new demon king, whose strength was unfathomable, had not even considered him as a serious enemy from the very beginning!

A strong sense of humiliation surged uncontrollably in his heart, and he wished he could rush up and die with the devil on the spot!

...No, wait!

"You said your name is Kurogane Ikki, right?"

Yu Jian Xiangye suddenly thought of something and fell into deep thought.

"So, you must be the reincarnated one sent by that beautiful goddess! The reason you have such strength must be because you got the cheat, so why... No, I won't ask any more questions."

He looked puzzled at first.

Then, he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly realized something, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Li became very complicated.

There was a sense of conviction that he was not as skilled as others, as well as admiration and shame for Jiang Li's actions.

"Cremia, Fio, let's go!"

He turned around and walked away with the two girls whose legs were so weak.

"Ow!"

Just as he was leaving in style, a stone suddenly hit his hind leg.

His legs went limp, and he fell to the ground with a wolf howl, his mouth full of mud.

He stood up with an embarrassed look on his face and glanced behind him suspiciously. He only saw a hero who stood tall and upright and the confused daughter of the devil. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time and had to leave in a depressed mood.

Neither Jiang Li nor Yasaka Airi stopped him.

"Young people can shut up if they don't know how to speak."

Jiang Li muttered secretly.

When he didn't feel any prying eyes from the surroundings, he took off the intimidating mask on his face, revealing a look of dissatisfaction.

What do you mean I have such strength because of cheats?

Even if I did use cheats, I'm different from cheating players like you who obviously have never suffered any hardship. How much do you think it cost me to become so strong?

Yasaka Airi came back to her senses, and her eyes became thoughtful as she looked at Jiang Li's back, her delicate eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Chapter 508 The Real Reason for Becoming the Demon King

2023-06-01

The first human village is thirty kilometers away from the Demon King's Castle.

The journey is neither short nor too short. It takes half a day to get there by carriage, and it will be dark when we get back.

However, Jiang Li insisted on going, with a determined look as if no one could stop him, so Yasaka Airi had no choice but to accompany him.

"Why do we have to go to the village?"

On the way, Yasaka Airi found two unicorns wandering in the wild.

She used the power of Monster Blessing to instantly strengthen the two unicorns to cadre level, allowing them to run at a speed comparable to that of a car, carrying the two of them towards the village.

“Just going to take a look.”

Jiang Li's tone was vague and his attitude was obviously perfunctory.

"By the way, does your protection ability come from the same source as the old demon king?"

He diverted Yasaka Airi's attention and directed the conversation to her abilities.

To be honest, this monster's blessing ability is quite buggy. It can create a first-level adventurer of Orario in an instant. It's completely a plug-in-level power!

"Yes."

Yasaka Airi nodded in acknowledgement.

"Where is the source?"

"ancestor."

"what is it call?"

"I haven't known about it for a long time."

Yasaka Airi shook her head.

She wasn't lying.

The name of the ancestor who was suspected to be a reincarnated person from Japan had long been lost in history, and even her and the old demon king, his direct descendants, had long forgotten it.

Jiang Li had some guesses in his mind.

In this case, their ancestor named Yasaka was probably a reincarnation like Mitsurugi Hibiki, who obtained a cheat from a so-called "beautiful goddess" and was sent to this world.

But later, for some unknown reason, he chose to become a demon king and pass on his bloodline and abilities to his direct descendants.

As evidence of this, although Airi Yasaka is a hybrid of the demon clan in this world, she still has long black hair, which is the characteristic of a reincarnated person.

I don’t know if it’s due to genetic selection, but she is very beautiful, with very regular facial features, especially her long legs which are quite eye-catching, with a beautiful shape and appropriate proportions.

"I remember the old demon king said your protection surpasses his, and can cover an army of dozens of people, right?"

"Yes."

"Is the level of your protection not as high as his?"

As soon as the words came out.

Yasaka Airi's whole body suddenly froze, and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Nothing like that!"

She turned her head quickly, her tone tense.

"The power you bestowed upon these two unicorns is not on the same level as the power bestowed upon the mimic monster by the old devil. Do you think I don't notice?"

Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the horse.

It looked wobbly and like it could fall off at any moment, but it always stayed on the horse's back.

His inquiring gaze fell on the slender and tall back of Yasaka Airi.

If the power that the old devil gave to the mimic monster in the treasure house was 100%, then the power that Yasaka Airi gave to the unicorn was 90%.

After learning the skill of the Double-Winged Sword and gaining perfect control over his body, Jiang Li could see at a glance the fluctuations in his opponent's breath, the movements of his internal organs, and the health of his bones.

His eyes alone have the functions of an X-ray machine, a CT machine, an MRI machine, etc.

It's amazing.

He naturally saw at a glance the difference in levels between Yasaka Airi's protection and that of the old demon king.

"Nothing like that!"

But she insisted there was no hierarchical gap.

Her expression was very cold, as if she was extremely reluctant to talk about this topic, and no matter how much he asked, it was impossible to pry her open her mouth.

"Yeah."

Jiang Li withdrew his gaze.

Since she wasn't going to tell him, there was no need for him to ask.

Anyway, this ability is probably not something he has.

Moreover, he prefers the kind of power that strengthens himself. Strengthening monsters can certainly gain power, but it cannot make him the strongest. It is meaningless for him to pursue self-strengthening. The old devil has proved this.

…………

after an hour.

The two came to the human village closest to the Demon King's Castle.

After driving away the unicorn that was pestering the witch and refusing to leave, the two walked towards the outer wall of the village, one in front and the other behind.

That's right.

Although it is just a small village with no more than a few hundred people, it still has a wall several meters high, which looks almost like a semi-fortress.

This is probably to guard against a possible sneak attack by the Demon King's army.

"Who are you?"
