Toying With the Demon
Toying With the Demon
"And calling yourself the 'Supreme One' when you're just a lowly demon that had been sealed for heaven-knows-how-long… You're full of it."
"Oh? You not only dare to speak back to me but also mock me? Since when have humans become so brave?" The grin on the demon's face grew wider, and its bloodlust and aura continued to rise.
'It only has the strength of a Spirit Grandmaster… How did it survive my Heaven Splitting Sword Strike? And it looks slightly different compared to the other demons I have encountered so far.' Yuan wondered to himself.
Furthermore, demons would normally get angry at the slightest provocation, yet this demon managed to remain calm despite Yuan's mockery.
There was just something different about this demon.
The demon looked at its surroundings and asked, "How long have I been sealed? And where am I?"
"You're asking the wrong person. And even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
"Is that so? Then I have no reason to keep you alive any longer. I will kill you and find someone else to entertain me, and then I will replenish my strength by eating everyone in this place." The demon stretched its thick neck left and right as it slowly approached Yuan in a menacing manner.
Once it was halfway to Yuan, it suddenly disappeared from its spot.
Yuan quickly raised the Empyrean Overlord in front of him in a defensive manner, and the next second, he was sent flying backward by a powerful strike from the demon.
"You managed to block my strike? Even though my strength has diminished greatly after being sealed for so long, it's still very impressive. This is going to be fun." The bulky demon laughed out loud.
'This demon is strong…' Yuan quickly stabilized himself after being sent flying.
However, he wasn't feeling worried even in the slightest. In fact, he was even a little excited.
'Even though the artificial demons are very useful, they cannot compare to real demons. I'm going to take this chance to practice with a real demon!'
Yuan could've sealed the demon while it was still recovering. However, he purposefully allowed the demon to fully recover just so he could use it as a training puppet.
It was an incredibly selfish and risky thing to do, as it could backfire on him and the Qi Family, but Yuan went ahead and risked it anyway for some reason.
Yuan began approaching the demon and said, "If you don't hurry up and kill me, I will seal you again, and this time, you won't be able to escape ever again."
The bulky demon's muscles began moving around like there were live worms in its body after hearing Yuan's words that had clearly affected it.
"You just gave me another reason to kill you."
The demon suddenly disappeared from its spot again, but it did not escape from Yuan's divine sense.
"Ha!"
Yuan turned around and swung the Empyrean Overlord with incredible force.
The demon that had just appeared behind him subconsciously blocked the strike with its bare arms.
The Empyrean Overlord tore right through the demon's arms and severed them before sending the demon's body flying into the distance.
"Hahaha! Not bad! Not bad at all!" The demon laughed as its body clashed into dozens of trees.
Once it regained its footing, the demon leaped into the air and began throwing spears made out of its blood at Yuan.
"Seal!"
Yuan roared, and a powerful ripple of demon sealing aura swept the scene, instantly halting the blood spears midair and turning them into stone.
Feeling slight stiffness in its body, the demon frowned, and it stopped taking the situation lighty and saw Yuan as a real threat.
Meanwhile, Qi Fang stopped running after a few minutes.
"Why are you stopping?!" Qi Huan asked her.
Qi Fang frowned and said, "This doesn't feel right at all! Why do we have to run like some coward?! We are the Qi Family! I am not going to let him fight the demon alone! I have been training for this day even before I could start walking!"
"You guys can go ahead and go back to the Qi Family, I am going to go help him!"
And without waiting for a response, Qi Fang began running back the way she came from.
"I will go after her." The Manager said to the old couple before chasing after Qi Fang.
"Shit!" Qi Man cursed out loud before turning to look at the guards that guarded the sealed demons before and continued, "Go back and warn the family! We cannot let a guest do our jobs for us!"
"Yes!"
"I will come with you." Qi Huan said to him, and they also started running back to the hill.
However, when they returned to the hill, they were shocked to see the destruction that had ravaged the place.
Most of the trees there were either destroyed or burned, and there were many holes and even ground fissures as far as their eyes could see.
"H-How the hell did they manage to cause such destruction in just a few minutes?!" Qi Fang cried out loud when she saw the scenery.
BOOM!
The earth shook with loud noises that sounded like thunder every few seconds, but it was not an earthquake, and the sky was as clear as it could be.
"They're over there!" Qi Man suddenly pointed to two figures fighting in the distance.
However, when they looked closely, they realized that it was not even a fight at all, but a one-sided beatdown.
"Heavens… He really didn't need our help…" Qi Huan mumbled in a dazed voice as she watched Yuan toss the demon around with his giant sword.
Yuan's attacks were so relentless and fierce that the demon could barely react to them, and when the demon would try to retaliate, he would seal the demon's body just enough so that it could not move without completely sealing it.
"This bastard… He's toying with the demon!" Qi Fang was in disbelief.
