Chapter 642: You Are the Coward
At this moment, she had already achieved godhood, taking the most crucial step. As long as she continued to grow, the Peacock Demon clan could very likely produce another Emperor!
Therefore, when Wang Han said those words just now, the Demon Kings and Great Demon Kings of the Peacock Demon clan had already resolved to work together. What they had to do was preserve the bloodline of the Peacock Demon clan and its inheritance, and protect this young clan leader who had the potential to become an Emperor.
Only if Mei Gongzi became an Emperor in the future could the Peacock Demon clan be revived and earn back its rightful place. And they were fully determined to sacrifice their lives to defend the Peacock Demon clan and guard this last glimmer of hope.
Even the queen consort, who had been so opposed to it just a minute before, had no doubt in her mind about what she had to do now. The appearance of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had united the previously conflicted Peacock Demon clan!
Had the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor only just arrived? Of course not. Thanks to the five-day delay, he had gotten here with time to spare, and he’d been using his divine consciousness to observe the situation here.
What he most wanted to see was the Peacock Demon clan engaging in internal strife, truly fighting each other, and the Peacock Great Demon King being utterly defeated. That would have made him the happiest. Yet he hadn't expected Mei Gongzi to have already achieved godhood and to demonstrate such powerful strength, not only defeating the clan's powerhouses but also easily overcoming Hu Mengyu, whom he had long arranged to be here and start trouble.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor couldn't wait any longer. Mei Gongzi's growth rate was so fast that even he felt a sense of panic. He’d been wavering before; she was the daughter of Su Qin, the love of his life, and when he heard that the Tenebrous Demon Emperor had been unable to kill her, he had actually felt relieved. But as he witnessed this, he immediately made up his mind otherwise. If she continued cultivating at this pace, it wouldn't be many years before the Peacock Demon clan produced another Emperor. At that time, he would never have the chance to defeat the Peacock Demon clan and seize control of Kali City. No, forget about that—it was practically a given that she’d try to get revenge.
Thus, he brought the phoenix race powerhouses here. He couldn't worry about much else now. The other members of the Peacock Demon clan didn't matter, but the Peacock Great Demon King and Mei Gongzi could not be allowed to live. As long as he dealt with them, the remaining members of the Peacock Demon clan wouldn't pose a threat to him.
But as it turned out, another surprise was awaiting: The previously conflicted Peacock Demon clan immediately united against him, and they all seemed fully intent on laying down their lives if that was what it took. With so many Great Demon Kings and Demon Kings, even if he gave his all, it would take some time to completely defeat them. Meanwhile, the Peacock Demon clan was skilled in teleportation like no other clan, and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor did not have the Tenebrous Demon Emperor's ability to track them like a shadow. If they escaped, finding them again was a tall order.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Wang Qing, at this point, do you still want to run away? Are you choosing to be a coward again?"
"Coward? How dare you! The only coward here is you!" an angry voice rang out, followed by a figure rising into the sky.
Su Qin said coldly, "And then have children with other women, right? At that time, you will tell me it's for the sake of the clan's continuation, your duty as an Emperor, correct?"
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was stunned. "I..."
"Lin Ximo, I've seen through you a long time ago. You are selfish, and you care about no one but yourself. So I am unwilling to be with you, and I will never go with you of my own will. Come on, kill me. Step over my body, step over my daughter’s body, and continue on your way!"
As she spoke, she was about to fly forward.
But at that moment, a flash of silver light appeared, and another person was beside her. The Peacock Great Demon King grabbed her shoulder with one hand.
Su Qin turned her head to look at him. The Peacock Great Demon King gently shook his head at her, "Don't be impulsive. Even if not for yourself, think of your child! If you really die, this guy will go completely mad. You're right, he is selfish, but I must admit, he truly loves you. So, you cannot die. Don't forget the promise you made to me back then."
Su Qin looked at him with undisguised anger, but did not try to throw herself to her death anymore.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor looked at the Peacock Great Demon King and said coldly, "If you think yourself a man, then step forward and face your death like a man."
The Peacock Great Demon King smiled slightly. "See, the thing is, that was my intention from the very beginning. I've done what I needed to do. Allow me to say a few words to my wife, and then I will fight this last battle with you, and we will finally know who among us is the victor and who the defeated."
After saying this, a flash of silver light surrounded him as he took Su Qin back to the Peacock Demon clan's side, then turned toward the queen consort.
The queen consort looked at him coldly, then at Su Qin. "When you say 'my wife,' do you mean me or... her?"
