moment!

The fireball, which was originally only the size of a child's fist, suddenly expanded several times its original size, becoming as big as the ogre's head. The intense heat even scorched the thick fur on the minotaur's body.

"what!!!!!!"

Kara Cape realized that the spell's power was beyond her control, and immediately threw it far away without hesitation.

A blazing fireball traced a parabola before landing directly in a green river of lava, triggering a violent explosion.

boom!

A large amount of lava splashed up several meters!

At the same time, a weak connection point within the Earth's crust inexplicably collapsed!

Several twisted creatures resembling fire elements slowly crawled out from inside, destroying everything around the Mad Destroyer that could be destroyed.

"You reacted quickly. I hope you can react just as quickly next time," Zhang Cheng said meaningfully, patting the minotaur on the shoulder.

After saying this, he ignored Kara Cape's horrified eyes and snapped his fingers.

next second...

The person vanished directly from the airship deck and reappeared on the upper platform of the Dark Temple.

Hundreds of blood elf demon hunter apprentices, who were in training, discovered the intruders and immediately swarmed forward, eager to eliminate the audacious enemy.

Before they could even get close, Zhang Cheng preemptively raised his supreme authority and slammed it into the ground.

boom!

An invisible energy ripple spread outwards from the point of contact, instantly immobilizing anyone who touched it, despite their perfectly clear minds.

"Excuse me, can someone tell me where Illidan Stormrage is right now? The Black Temple is a bit too big, and I don't want to spend hours looking for him." Zhang Cheng asked as he casually walked past the crowd, secretly observing the fel marks on the demon hunter apprentices.

It must be said that this combat style, which involves infusing fel energy into the body and combining magic with melee combat, is indeed refreshing.

Most importantly, demon hunters can continuously strengthen themselves by not only hunting demons but also stealing their evil power.

Of course, the premise is that it cannot exceed one's own limit, otherwise the legendary body will explode and die, or one will lose one's mind and be transformed into a complete demon from the soul.

Just then, a female demon with six arms suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, her voice seductive enough to make any male creature's blood boil: "Aha! An uninvited intruder. Tell me, are you here for fun or for serious business?"

"Greetings, Your Majesty Shahraz. It is a pleasure and an excitement to meet you in person. To be honest, the purpose of my trip is to reach some cooperation agreements with Lord Illidan. So, if you don't mind, could you show me the way?" Zhang Cheng bowed slightly, two green fel flames shooting from his pupils.

"You're a warlock?!" The matriarch undoubtedly sensed that the fel energy within the other party was far stronger than her own, and immediately showed strong vigilance.

"Warlock? No! Strictly speaking, I am a mage, or more precisely, a spellcaster. Warlock is just a part of my power." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and suddenly ignited a ball of violet arcane fire.

The fire burned so intensely that many blood elf demon hunter apprentices who were watching from a distance collapsed to the ground in agony, screaming in pain.

Although their eyes were blind, they could still clearly sense the fluctuations of energy around them. The intense heat of the arcane fire was like throwing a flashbang into a dark room.

Matriarch Shahraz narrowed her eyes, seemingly hesitating. After a full minute, she sheathed her scimitar, smiled slightly, and said, "Since you wish to see Lord Illidan, then follow me. However, please note that he has not been in a good mood lately, and I suggest you do not easily provoke him."

“Thank you very much! Please don’t worry, I guarantee that his mood will improve quickly after he sees the cooperation terms I proposed.” Zhang Cheng gave his assurance with full confidence.

Led by this powerful female demon who had once betrayed the pit lord Magtheridon, the two quickly traversed dark passages and corridors, arriving at the deepest part of the Black Temple in no time.

Illidan sat on his throne, one hand holding the infamous "Skull of Gul'dan," the other supporting his chin, and asked in a condescending tone, "Shahrath, tell me who the human behind you is?"

“Great King of Outland! This human claims he wants to cooperate with you!” The matriarch answered respectfully, kneeling on one knee.

"Cooperation? A human?" Illidan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat sarcastic smile.

Undoubtedly, he was arrogant and looked down on humans, even disregarding the Death Knight Arthas at one point.

After all, although the Scourge appears to be very powerful on the surface, it can only be considered a scout dog for the Burning Legion. It's just that this dog eventually turned on its master.

In terms of strength, even if the entire Scourge were combined, the Burning Legion could easily wipe them out with a single small expedition.

"Hehe, you seem to have some prejudice against humans?" Zhang Cheng calmly injected a surge of arcane power into the Supreme Authority, then released it a hundredfold.

boom!

Centered on him, a terrifying energy storm immediately erupted within a radius of tens of meters!

Before Mother Shahras could dodge, both of her arms were instantly torn to shreds, and the ground and walls were crushed into tiny particles that floated in the air...

Chapter 0620 Illidan Stormrage

"Guards! Guards!" Matriarch Shahraz cried out, enduring the pain.

In just a few seconds, several blood elves rushed in and surrounded Zhang Cheng, who hadn't moved an inch.

Clearly, they were none other than the Illidari Council, which was personally established by the Blood Elf Prince.

These guys were there partly to keep the massive Dark Temple running, and partly to keep an eye on Illidan.

After all, ever since Kael'thas lost the Battle of the Frozen Throne to his "former rival," he realized that his partner was not as powerful as he had imagined, at least not as strong as Kil'jaeden the Deceiver. So he secretly began to collude with the Burning Legion. Although he has not yet chosen to betray them, the two are actually not far from becoming enemies.

"Get out! Who gave you permission to come in?" The demon hunter frowned and shouted instinctively.

“But… but just now…” Duchess Marland stammered, glancing at Matriarch Shahras, who had lost both arms.

The latter's eyes gleamed with malice as he hurriedly explained, "Sir, I think this human is too dangerous; he must be arrested and imprisoned."

"Dangerous?" Illidan scoffed. "No, Shahrath, this human is not dangerous at all. He merely wants to demonstrate his power and gain an advantageous position in the cooperation. If he wanted to assassinate me, he wouldn't have caused such a commotion. Besides, I have no grudges against the human kingdoms, so why would a human want to kill me?"

“But don’t you think his existence is a threat?” Matriarch Shahras retorted through gritted teeth.

"Hmph! In terms of threat level, he's not even as much as one of your fingers." Illidan leaned slightly to the side, his tone revealing a meaningful sneer.

He undoubtedly knew very well which of his subordinates could be trusted and which were only pretending to obey him while secretly plotting against him.

In fact, Matriarch Shahraz never had even the slightest bit of loyalty. As long as someone could offer better terms, she wouldn't mind changing masters again, just like when she betrayed Matheridon.

Sensing the intrigue and betrayal permeating the air around him through his psychic abilities, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curl up a playful smile. He placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, saying, "Honorable Lord of Outland! The First Demon Hunter! Illidan Stormrage! Would you be interested in hearing my proposal for cooperation?"

“Of course! But before that, I think we need some more private space.” With that, Illidan waved his hand, signaling everyone, including the matriarch, to step back.

"As you wish!"

Although the blood elves of the Illidari Council were somewhat unwilling, they ultimately chose to obey due to the power of the demon hunters.

In no time, the crowded hall was completely empty, leaving only the two parties involved staring at each other.

A full minute later, Illidan spoke first, tentatively asking, "I can sense a powerful Eredar demon soul within you. Would you mind explaining what this means?"

"You mean Marosa? He's a pathetic fellow! And soon I'll completely devour him, and he'll disappear from the world forever," Zhang Cheng replied casually.

It must be said that Demon Hunters possess an unparalleled keen sense of magic, capable of detecting even such a near-perfect seal.

"You're devouring demon souls?!" Illidan exclaimed, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Because he found it hard to believe that, apart from the demon hunters he had created, who else in this world could devour and utilize the power of demons?

Zhang Cheng gently shook his head and explained, "No, it's not the kind of devouring you're imagining. To be precise, I'm erasing the consciousness from the soul and then slowly merging my own consciousness into it. Compared to the brutal takeover used by demon hunters, this is safer and doesn't pose too many hidden dangers."

Illidan nodded thoughtfully: "That sounds interesting. Are you perhaps planning to try and train new demon hunters in this way?"

"Hahahaha! No, I have no interest in training demon hunters. The cooperation I'm referring to is in technology and knowledge, such as evolution potions, the modification of fel orcs, or even the creation of a dragon race born for war. In short, I know your plans and understand your determination to destroy the Burning Legion, so I intend to join you." Zhang Cheng made no attempt to hide his intentions, stating them frankly.

"Evolution potion? What's that?" Illidan asked, stroking his chin with interest.

“It’s very simple! It’s a potion I invented! It can greatly activate the latent power within the user, granting them additional abilities and talents, both physical and magical. Here’s a sample; you can try it.” Zhang Cheng directly took a bottle out of his pocket and handed it over.

Illidan took it, uncorked it, sniffed it, and an expression of disbelief quickly appeared on his face. He then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

In less than a second!

The green fel energy marks on his upper body lit up, emitting a dazzling light.

However, these lights came and went quickly, fading away in less than three to five seconds.

Feeling the slight enhancement to his body, the demon hunter couldn't help but stand up, spread his wings, and exclaim, "Fantastic! Unbelievable! Your potion actually worked on me!"

"It is my honor to receive your praise." Zhang Cheng bowed with a smile.

He never hesitates to put himself in a relatively low position when there is profit to be made.

"Tell me, what ingredients are needed for this medicine? Is it complicated to prepare?"

"No, it's not complicated at all. As for the ingredients, I'm constantly improving the recipe and can add or remove things at any time. In my opinion, the blood of Magtheridon, as well as some unique specialties of Outland, can be tried to be added, especially the demigod Gronn Gruul from Blade's Edge Mountains. If we can get his blood, I guarantee I can concoct a product that will satisfy you."

As he said this, a greedy glint flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

Keep in mind that it is one of the very few powerful creatures that can stand up to Neltharion, the Black Dragon King, head-on. Although Deathwing is fully capable of killing it, it will still take him a lot of effort.

If he could obtain Gruul's blood, he could find the secrets of the Curse of Flesh and the method to create the Rock Guardian Giant.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin your research! From this moment on, we are inseparable partners. But I have a small question: what do you want from me?" Illidan stepped down from his throne, using the enhanced perception gained through the sacrifice of his eyes to lock onto the human standing close at hand…

Chapter 621 Trust (Part 1)

dark!

icy!

ruthless!

The Demon Hunter is now unleashing the immense power within him without reservation!

Without a doubt, if the next answer is even slightly off, he will immediately launch a fierce attack.

“It’s simple! I want some water from the Well of Eternity and a large number of Burning Legion demon souls from you, and I also want to conduct some interesting experiments.” Zhang Cheng calmly gave his answer.

Anyway, he never intended to trick "Egg Boss" from the beginning, so he didn't need to worry about the other party's future retaliation.

"Water from the Well of Eternity? Giving you a little of that is no problem; I can understand a mage's craving for it. But I don't understand, what do you need so many souls of Burning Legion demons for? Are you going to devour them?" Illidan asked, quite curiously.

Even becoming a demon hunter only means killing a demon, swallowing its heart and blood, and then fighting the demon's soul deep within your own heart until you defeat it and imprison its soul in a fel tattoo.

Generally speaking, the number of demon souls a demon hunter can devour and seal is limited.

Even as the original Demon Hunter, he couldn't endlessly devour and seal demon souls; otherwise, he would eventually lose control of his body.

"No, it's not about devouring, but for other purposes. As for what it's used for, that's my own business and none of your concern." Zhang Cheng rejected the other party's probing without hesitation.

Because he was certain that if he mentioned wanting to form a new Burning Legion, the demon hunter in front of him would immediately turn hostile.

In fact, the demons of the Azeroth universe and the demons of the Forgotten Realms have one thing in common: unless they can be killed in their homeland, if they are killed elsewhere, their souls can escape back to their homeland to be reborn.

This means that the souls of demons have a very close connection with their birthplace, so the success rate of intercepting them on a large scale is not very high.
