The video takes stock of the heavens, starting with the Fire Dragon King Natsu!

The black-robed man's face suddenly changed. He felt a strong sense of sarcasm and disdain in Hisoka's tone, which made him very angry. He gritted his teeth and drew his sword again. His offensive intensified again, and the sword flashed even faster.

"call out!"

The long sword in the black-robed man's hand stabbed towards Hisoka's throat. Hisoka's pupils shrank slightly. His palm drew an arc in the air and slapped the black-robed man's chest. The black-robed man's sword light disappeared instantly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Hisoka was able to react under such an attack.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang and the black-robed man flew out.

A smile appeared on Hisoka's face. He had to admit that this man in black robe was really good. He was not bad in terms of speed and fighting skills. Although he was not as good as himself, he was much weaker in terms of strength.

Chapter 826: The Price of Forbidden Power

It's like two swords, one is an ordinary long sword, and the other is a treasure sword. The sharpness of the treasure sword is unquestionable.

The black-robed man's body hit the tree, and a lot of rubble was scattered around him. He struggled to stand up, raised his head and looked at Xi Suo: "It seems that I still underestimated you."

"Do you still have a chance to defeat me now?" There was a hint of mockery in Hisoka's eyes.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the black-robed man: "I will never be defeated, even if it means death! I want to see you die with my own eyes!"

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Xi Suo shouted coldly.

He pushed the ground with his toes and his body flew out instantly, leaving a shadow in the air, and in the blink of an eye he rushed towards the man in black robe.

A powerful wave of energy burst out from Hisoka's fist, and he smashed his fist hard into the black-robed man's head.

The black-robed man showed a ferocious smile on his face: "In that case, then you will die with me!"

His sword turned into a black light and slashed towards Hisoka's neck.

"Qiang!"

The long sword slashed on Hisoka's neck, but his long sword was blocked by Hisoka's neck. Hisoka's body spun in the air, he stomped his feet on the ground, jumped up again, and kicked hard.

"Oh!"

The black-robed man flew backwards again, with bright red blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"How could this be? I clearly have the advantage, so why was I beaten back by him?" The black-robed man was filled with doubts, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

The man in black robe was very depressed. At this moment, he finally understood that after the enhanced fusion, the gap between his strength and Hisoka's was not much, but his fighting spirit was about to be exhausted.

"In that case, let's die together!"

The man in black robe shouted frantically, his body rushed out again, and a long sword appeared in his hand again. Black sword beams condensed on the long sword, and the tip of the sword flashed with cold light.

"boom!"

Hisoka kicked the black-robed man directly in the face with a whip kick, kicking him away.

"Pfft!"

The man in black robe spat out blood again. He felt as if his internal organs were displaced.

"You are so disappointing." Hisoka shook his head, his tone filled with deep disappointment.

"I'm not convinced!"

"boom!"

The black-robed man's body suddenly swelled rapidly and began to swell uncontrollably. His skin began to crack and his flesh and blood separated from his skin. Lines appeared on his skin and began to spread to his limbs and torso, and then began to spread throughout his body. His skin became old at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, he turned into a pile of bones with a suit of silver armor next to him.

Xi Suo saw all of this.

"Is this the price of borrowing forbidden power?" Hisoka sighed softly, with deep pity in his eyes.

Since the man in black robe is dead, Hisoka naturally wins the competition.

After the black fog in the square dissipated, Hisoka was the only one standing in the square.

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

"What's going on? Why is Hisoka the only one here?"

"Yeah, what about his opponent?"

Chapter 827: The Demon King and Hisoka's Private Conversation

"I just saw him fighting with the man in black robes, how come Hisoka is the only one left now?"

"Did the man in black robe lose?"

"impossible!"

"Then why did he turn into a skeleton?"

...

"Xi Suo." At this moment, the Demon King and two elders came behind Xi Suo.

"Greetings to the Demon King, and to the two clan leaders." Xi Suo quickly saluted and greeted respectfully.

The demon king glanced at Xi Suo, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "Xi Suo, you did a good job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Demon King." Hisoka said modestly.

"You won this battle, you deserve praise." The demon king said calmly, "But."

The demon king paused for a long time and still didn't speak.

Seeing that the demon king was slow to speak, Qing Ming could only rush to speak, "Well, although we have seen what happened in the square, we need a solution now."

"What?" Hisoka didn't understand.

"Xi Suo, many people here are talking about your fight with the man in black robe just now. Although it used forbidden power, this matter cannot be spread to outsiders." Qing Ming said seriously.

The Demon King also thought so. After all, if this matter were to spread, it would cause panic among the demon people.

"So, what do you need me to do now?" Hisoka asked puzzledly.

"Although his death was not directly caused by you, it is still related to you." Qingming explained.

"Come on! Stop dithering! We hope you can take on this responsibility and accept a small punishment. Don't worry, the three of us are watching over the punishment, so nothing will go wrong." said the Bai tribe leader.

"Why?" Hisoka still couldn't understand why he had to take on this responsibility.

Seeing that the three people were arguing, the Demon King waved his hand and pulled himself and Hisoka into his consciousness space.

"Let me tell you." Looking at Hisoka, he said slowly: "Hisoka, you are the first human to defeat the forbidden power."

"A human who defeated the forbidden power?"

"Yes, you are the first one." The Demon King said seriously.

"The existence of the forbidden power is a shame for our demon race. It originated from the last war between the two races!"

"And then?" Xi Suo wanted to know what the demon king was going to say.

"The birth of the forbidden power was due to the war between the two races."

"The two tribes fought each other for a higher power. The two tribes fought for greater benefits."

There are too many resources, treasures, and cultivation secrets involved, and the fight between the two tribes is naturally a life-and-death struggle."

"I can't let this happen again!" Yao said in a deep voice.

"Demon King, I understand what you said, but have you ever thought that this kind of fight can never be stopped?" Xi Suo sighed and said slowly.

"I know, I can't do this, but you can."

"But I know we can't stop it."

The demon king sighed, "You don't understand how desperate you are when facing the forbidden power! You don't even dare to touch it!"

"There's nothing I can do." Xi Suo shook his head helplessly, "We are indeed no match for it."

The demon king nodded and said, "I also know that we are no match for it, but that is not a reason for us not to stop it."

"There is no absolute fairness in this world, and there is no perfect thing in this world. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always achieve the desired results."

Chapter 828: The Punishment Xi Suo Must Accept

“But it comes at a huge cost.”

"Not only will we have to make certain sacrifices, we may even lose our lives."

The demon king's expression became serious when he said this: "Besides, even if it costs us a huge price, we must do it."

"I understand. I will take responsibility." Hisoka nodded slightly.

"Wait." The demon king called out to Xi Suo, "Trust me, nothing will happen."

"Yeah." Xi Suo nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon King waved his hand again, and the two returned to the square.

The demon king nodded to the two clan leaders, and then said to everyone: "Xi Suo won this battle."

Robert spoke up at this time, "Demon King, but Hisoka's killing of his opponent violated our rules."

"I will take care of this matter, Robert, you don't have to worry about these things." The Demon King said lightly.

"I know, but I still feel something is wrong." Robert continued, "Demon King, with so many fellow demons watching, it would be inappropriate not to punish them."

When the demon king heard this, he raised his eyebrows, then sneered and said, “Robert, do you want to go against my words?”

"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that it will undermine your authority within the clan."

"Humph!" The demon king snorted coldly, "I have my own plan for this matter."

After saying that, the Demon King took a few steps towards the audience seats, facing the audience seats, and pondered for a moment.

"The two clan leaders and I witnessed this competition. Xi Suo won the competition, there is no doubt about it, but..." The Demon King paused for a moment and turned to look at Xi Suo.

Hisoka had no expression on his face. He just met the Demon King's gaze and nodded slightly.

The demon king understood instantly, turned around, and announced to the audience, "Xi Suo will be punished accordingly, and it will be supervised by the demon king and the two clan leaders."

Upon hearing the Demon King's words, the audience was in an uproar.

"The Demon King wants to punish Hisoka?"

"No way? The demon king is actually going to punish Hisoka?"

"As expected of the Demon King."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but Xi Suo didn't react at all, which made the demon king very satisfied. "Xi Suo, don't be afraid. We just assigned you a task. If you fail to complete it, the demon tribe will punish you severely and your life will no longer exist!"

The punishment of the demon race is as severe as the way ancient emperors treated their criminal subjects.

But Hisoka still didn't say anything, he knew he had to do it well.

"In that case, please give your orders, Lord Demon King!" Xi Suo looked up at the Demon King.

"Okay." The demon king said calmly, "In fact, it's not a big deal for me. We demons have a forbidden forest. As long as you go to the deepest part of the forest and retrieve the treasure, this matter will be over."

"What! Forbidden Forest! The demon king is so cruel to Hisoka."

"Yes, the forbidden forest is full of demon beasts and monsters. Even if most of the Saint-level strongmen enter it, they will probably die! The demon tribe actually wants to let a Saint-level person enter the depths of the forest. It's simply too much!"

"The demon race has always been like this towards rebellion."

The forbidden forest of the demon clan is the core of the demon clan and the holy land of the entire demon clan.

There are many monsters in the forbidden forest, some are docile and well-behaved, while others are extremely ferocious.

However, in this forbidden forest, there is also a very strange treasure.

Chapter 829 Heading to the Forbidden Forest

The demonized monsters have no souls, they are just killing machines. They only know how to act according to their instincts. Only when they kill people will they feel fear and have a fearful mentality.

There are many rare and precious herbs in the depths of the forbidden forest, as well as the crystal cores of many rare magical beasts. The value of these crystal cores far exceeds that of the holy-level magic cores. For holy-level powerhouses, crystal cores are also very precious things, but for ordinary holy-level powerhouses, crystal cores are not too precious things, and the function of crystal cores is only to strengthen the body, enhance mental strength, and improve magical power.

If the demon tribe takes out the crystal core of the monster, it is equivalent to letting Xiso enter the monster's lair, and once Xiso enters the forbidden forest, he will surely die.

"What about the third round of competition of our group of demons?" Xi Suo asked, "How to arrange it?"

"It's very simple. You are scheduled to be the last in the third round. If you can't come back before all the competitions are over, you will be deemed to have forfeited." The demon king said calmly, "You can choose to give up. If you want to continue the competition, you must complete the task. No matter what method you use, as long as you complete the task, I can guarantee that you can leave alive."
