Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road - Chapter 772
Chapter 772: Confrontation Chapter 772: Confrontation The female demon’s slender silhouette was mesmerizing and alluring.
With an elegantly curved waist and long, graceful legs that peeked out from her outfit, she had the power to make anyone’s heart skip a beat.
Her skin was flawlessly beautiful, and her face radiated an enchanting charm.
Especially her pair of big and round breasts that seemed to captured everyone’s breath.
This female demon who just injured demons here was Prince Xie. Shenlian Yingyue was puzzled as to why the formidable female demon was addressed as Prince Xie instead of Princess Xie.
So, Zhiyi, who is typically the most reserved and gentle person in this group, took the initiative to explain things to her, drawing on his extensive knowledge from the many hours he spent in the library.
It became clear that in the Demon Realm, there was a peculiar tradition: there were no princesses, only princes.
This seemed to reflect a broader societal norm that sought to diminish female authority, asserting that even powerful women must be referred to as ‘Prince’ or ‘King.’Â This practice of designating strong female demons with masculine titles had its roots in ancient traditions, tracing back millions of years.
In demon societies, it was customary to employ masculine titles for rulers regardless of their gender, a tradition that persisted even for female leaders.
This trend stemmed from patriarchal systems and ideologies that viewed men as the default leaders and decision-makers. “Prince Xie, please calm down your fury!” the demons pleaded, desperation in their voices.
This was no jest; while they wouldn’t face death, Prince Xie’s methods of retribution for her grievances were gruesome and fearsome.
Just as it is now, their blood vessels ruptured, sending splatters of crimson across the scene.
In Demon City, a thick stench of blood hung heavily in the air, while countless organs and chunks of demon flesh were hurled about.
They had the ability to reassemble their bodies, yet fear of inciting Prince Xie’s wrath held them in check, leaving them to endure the agony.
The faces of the Upper Rank Demons were devoid of any expression.
There was no sign of compassion for their suffering kin.
Shenlian Yinzhu, Jun Mu Yang, Zhiyi, and Bing Xue narrowed their eyes as a protective barrier enveloped them, shielding Shenlian Yingyue from the splatter of demon blood.
“Bi Xie, that’s enough,” a voice sliced through the air, cold and otherworldly.
It sent shivers down spines, leaving a lingering sense of dread.
There was an unsettling allure to the voice-both captivating and terrifying.
Shenlian Yingyue turned her gaze toward the source of the voice.
It belonged to the male demon.
The male demon’s tall and lean physique was quite appealing, accentuated by the definition of his strong muscles, which seemed to press against the fabric of his attire.
His skin had a unique, crystal-like quality, a delicate shade of light blue that gave him an otherworldly allure.
Subtle, faint blood vessels traced the contours of his skin and muscles, enhancing his charm. However, the striking features of his face were marred by a peculiar light blue scar that detracted from his overall attractiveness.
His hair was jet black, and his eyes were a captivating shade of deep blue. “Shi Ji, you need to keep a tighter grip on your subordinates.
Don’t let their incompetence jeopardize our plans,” Bi Xie, known as Prince Xie, retorted with a malevolent sneer.
In her eyes, it was never the enemies that mattered; it was the demons who failed to control even a trivial threat that truly earned her ire.
“Eliminate them first,” Shi Ji, the Demon King marked by a distinct light blue scar across his face, commanded with a steady gaze.
He briefly turned to Shenlian Yingyue and her group.

A cruel glint sparked in Bi Xie’s eyes as she towered over everyone, her stature almost masculine amidst the crowd of demons.
As Bi Xie’s irritation and aggression radiated through the air, the demons trembled in fear.
They felt a strange empathy for the human woman and her allies, yet none dared to voice their thoughts.
The prospect of Prince Xie exacting vengeance on the one who dared to humiliate them filled them with a dark sense of satisfaction.
Yao, the Destroyer Dahlia, tilted his head, recognizing Shenlian Yingyue.
A wave of skepticism washed over him.
What was she doing here?
Yet, recalling her audacity in breaching Demon City with that enigmatic black sword, he began to grasp her fearlessness.
Around them, Jade Orchid cloaked in shadows, alongside the Demon Generals, stood in cold silence, awaiting the commands of Demon King Shi and Prince Xie.
Shenlian Yingyue remained nonchalant, undaunted by the suffocating presence of the gathered demons.
Her expression was one of serene indifference.
Conversely, Shenlian Yinzhu, Zhiyi, Jun Mu Yang, Bing Xue, and Hong Zuan exhibited a similar calmness, their faces betraying no hint of fear.
The gaze of Shi Ji and his companions fell upon Yingyue and her group, scrutinizing them closely.
Shi Ji’s demeanor was stoic and unyielding, while Bi Xie was a tempestuous force, brimming with intensity.
“Human, what brings you to our city?” Shi Ji addressed her sharply, his voice betraying neither disdain nor concern.
He was cautious, refusing to underestimate her, even in her human form.
“What could her intention possibly be?
Surely, she’s come to wreak havoc and aid the escape of those human captives,” Bi Xie interjected, her impatience evident but accompanied by sharp insight.
A thick silence enveloped the gathering as they awaited Shenlian Yingyue’s response.
Moments stretched into an unbearable stillness.
Everyone: “……” Finally, a demon, eager to assert dominance and with a voice rife with bravado, exclaimed, “To report to Demon King Shi, this human once proclaimed…
she declared, ‘I, The Magnificent Monster, Challenge Your Demon King!'” He struggled to maintain composure, clearly trying to intimidate with the weight of her audacity.
The atmosphere shifted abruptly; an icy chill enveloped the space, leaving everyone frozen in place.
Even Yao, Jade Orchid, and the Demon Generals stared in astonishment at her audacity.
What kind of human would dare to infiltrate a city teeming with powerful demons and confront the Demon King head-on?
