Chapter 180.1 Real or Fake Demon Sovereign? (1/2)
"Wang Ke, you found someone to pretend to be the Demon Sovereign? And you dared to bring a boat to my den? The both of you must be sick of living!" The Snake King laughed in disdain at the pair.
Wang Ke mocked back, "Snake King, you dare repeat what you’ve just said? My boss, who is standing right behind me… who is it that he’s pretending to be? Say it one more time to my boss, and let him hear it again! Come on! Say it!"
He stood there calmly and confidently, which made the Snake King doubt his judgment. The latter said, "Humph. The Demon Sovereign is so powerful that he always stands high above in the air and travels by flight. Why would he ride a small boat to visit my den? Wang Ke, you gave yourself away!" The Snake King laughed coldly.
The latter was quick to guess that the person next to Wang Ke was an impostor. Even so, he merely built his argument with the evidence at hand.
"Hahaha, you are right! You are right! He couldn’t be the Demon Sovereign; he's just my boss! My boss only deserves to ride a small boat. Is that what you mean?" Wang Ke said with a mocking smile.
The Demon Sovereign behind him was slightly stunned. Is that reverse psychology?
Indeed, the Snake King thought that Wang Ke was giving him a shot of sarcasm, so he still took Wang Ke's 'boss' as the latter referring to the 'Demon Sovereign'.
"Humph. Wang Ke, you may well have a silver tongue, but I will never believe that he's the Demon Sovereign!" the snake leader said.
Seeing that the Snake King was still arguing, Wang Ke felt assured that things were moving along in the right direction. The Snake King was afraid, or else the giant serpent would have already charged toward him.
"Boss! He doesn't believe that you’re the Demon Sovereign!" Wang Ke looked at his leader and smiled. The Snake King narrowed his eyes while looking at the two.
"Boss, please don't be angry. You’re free to travel however you like, no one should gossip about it. By right, the Snake King shouldn't be kept alive! He belongs to the Divine Dragon Branch after all. Why don't I teach him a lesson first? To vent your anger?" Wang Ke asked the Demon Sovereign.
The latter looked at Wang Ke in a daze. You are merely at the Innate Stage! Bluff away if you want! Are you serious about fighting the snake head on? You must be joking. The Snake King is as strong as a pinnacle Golden Core cultivator! Adding his demonic beast's physique, his raw power even surpasses the Golden Core! Are you trying to dig your own grave?
"Boss, we’re at sea after all, and I can't really use my full power here. If you don't mind, release more frost power to freeze the waters!" Wang Ke pleaded.
The Snake King looked at the two doubtfully. Freeze the water?
The Demon Sovereign nodded.
"Tsss, tssss, tssss.......!"
With the Demon Sovereign as the center, the surrounding seawater was frozen instantly. It was a piece of cake in her condition; she was merely preventing the Immortal Ice's cold from being unleashed in full. It was powerful enough to even create a mountainous glacier in a far off distance; freezing the surrounding waters was nothing.
In the blink of an eye, an icy terrain measuring thirty meters in diameter appeared on the sea. The sudden change gave the Snake King a shock, because such a spell would require the power of someone at least at the Golden Core Stage. The so-called impostor did it without incantations or hand seals; he just stomped his feet, and the water underneath him turned into ice. That move shook his previous thoughts on the alleged Demon Sovereign.
"Thank you, my boss!" Wang Ke showed his gratitude.
"Wang Ke, are you trying to intimidate me with such a small trick? Come at me then! Let me see how you’re going to teach me a lesson!" The Snake King laughed sinisterly.
Wang Ke ignored the massive reptile; he merely looked toward the Demon Sovereign and said, "Boss, I'm only an Innate Stage cultivator. I can't defeat the Snake King!"
The Snake King: ".......................!"
The Demon Sovereign: ".......................!"

"Hmm?" The Snake King gave Wang Ke a doubtful look. He was sure that the Demon Sovereign was a fake, the premise being the person was pathetically weak, and definitely not a match for him.But Wang Ke is saying that this person can beat me up easily?
"Boss, you just have to randomly insert some essence energy into me, then I will go and tear him in half!" Wang Ke said confidently.
The Snake King: ".......................!"
The Demon Sovereign: ".......................!"
The Snake King was increasingly doubtful about his judgment, because Wang Ke's bluff was getting bigger. Damn, just by him giving some essence energy to you, an Innate Stage weakling, you can tear me in half? I'm at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Stage! Keep bluffing! Not one person in the Ten-thousand Great Mountains can do it! No... The Demon Sovereign might be able to. But that person is a fake!
The Demon Sovereign: "...............!"
If I had essence energy to give you, I would have beaten up the snake myself! What the hell are you doing?
"My boss, I'm sorry for the trouble. Please give me just a bit! Even a smidge will do!" Wang Ke urged.
The Demon Sovereign had a troubled look under the demonic mask, but since Wang Ke was putting up a show, she had no other choice but to cooperate. The little essence energy I recovered is next to nothing. It’s useless! But, forget it, let me give it to you!
