Chapter 200 - 144: An Evil God Is Worthy of Locking My Heart?
A Demon King.
In Jiang Man’s view, it should be killed without a moment’s hesitation.
To prevent anyone else from snatching the kill.
A single Demon King was worth fifty thousand Spiritual Source.
What did fifty thousand even mean?
He wasn’t even fifty thousand in debt.
Killing the Demon King would not only clear his debt but also leave him with a surplus.
’Now that the Demon King has mutated, does that mean the difficulty has increased?’
’Will fifty thousand become one hundred thousand?’
Of course, he didn’t dare to be overconfident.
Because this Demon King was connected to an Evil God.
Especially a Demon Beast twisting itself into the form of a little girl. No matter how you looked at it, this wasn’t normal.
Therefore, Jiang Man chose to strike before it could complete its transformation.
He closed the distance instantly, striking her forehead with a Shadowless Palm.
The Demon King, who had been about to speak, was sent flying.
Jiang Man followed up, stomping down with his foot.
Bengliu Technique.
BOOM!
He drove her straight into the ground.
"You..."
An enraged voice came from her mouth. "Do you have any idea..."
But before she could finish, golden light flared as a Golden Dragon descended to suppress her.
BOOM!
The attack engulfed the figure, driving it deeper into the earth.
"I don’t," Jiang Man replied casually.
’A mere Evil God, who’s it trying to threaten?’
’As if I don’t have an Evil God of my own.’
’Not only do I have an Evil God, I have a wife who can suppress it.’
BANG!
The Demon King blasted through the restraints and leaped out of the ground, her eyes filled with an endless, demonic light.
She then charged at Jiang Man. "In that case, I’ll beat you into submission first and teach you the meaning of awe."
Instantly, Jiang Man felt a torrent of fire rush toward him.
BOOM!
His Celestial Heart Seal blocked it.
However, the torrent of fire streaked through the air again.
BOOM!
BOOM!
Her attacks were incredibly fast, forcing Jiang Man to retreat as he defended himself.
"True Martial Skill? Celestial Heart Seal? How long can you last?"
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.
The Demon King unleashed her full power.
An hour passed.
The Demon King fell silent.
The golden light around Jiang Man was still present. He looked at the Demon King curiously and asked, "Why aren’t you talking anymore? Not a big talker?"
’In truth, he couldn’t hold on for much longer.’
’The Ninth Layer of the True Martial Skill simultaneously burned nine Gourds.’
’He had already burned through six of them.’
’He only had fifteen "Gourds" in total. Once the nine he was currently burning were gone, he would be... a sitting duck.’
’This Demon King’s power wasn’t weakening at all.’
’She had more stamina than he did.’
’If it weren’t for the Celestial Heart Seal, he would have been done for long ago.’
’The Celestial Heart Seal was powerful, yet its consumption was low.’
’If he had used a different Top-grade Skill with astonishing power, he never would have been able to last this long.’
The Demon King stared at Jiang Man, her brow furrowed.
’This person... is a bit strange.’
’No one who came here had a future. Once that lock fell upon their hearts, even the most prodigious genius could not break it.’
’Especially... after I’ve set my sights on them.’
"You’re just all talk," the Demon King said, looking at Jiang Man.
"You’ve lost." Jiang Man stepped forward, preparing to behead her.
This time, he decided to use his Hidden Spirit to kill her in one fell swoop.
’His Hidden Spirit, accumulated over two years, should be able to kill her instantly.’
"Is that so?" the Demon Beast said with a smile. "You’re the one who has lost. Take a look around you."
Jiang Man didn’t look.
But he could feel it.
Then, rows upon rows of Demon Beasts appeared, among them even other Demon Kings wreathed in flames.
’I’m surrounded?’
’This really is a mutation caused by an Evil God. How else could it command the surrounding Demon Kings?’
’I can’t stay here for long.’
’I should be able to get away. As heartless as those three are, they wouldn’t just not call for reinforcements.’
’If I leave now, I can meet up with the rescue party.’
’What a pity. All this Spiritual Source...’
Jiang Man sighed internally.
"You want to hunt Demon Kings?" the Demon King asked Jiang Man. "I can let you kill one, but you have to work for me."
"Alright," Jiang Man agreed without hesitation.
The Demon King, who had been about to use his future as a bargaining chip, was taken aback.
’He agreed?’
’Wasn’t that a little too quick?’
"There are conditions," the Demon King said to Jiang Man. "You should understand that there is a well here that can place a lock on your heart.
"And the condition I give you is this lock.
"It will allow me to lock you down completely. Of course, you’re different from the others.
"I can control your lock. As long as you perform well, I can have the lock fall after your Core Formation.
"Or even later.
"Furthermore, you won’t be affected while you’re here.
"What you need to do is become my spy, enter the Wuyun Sect, and find a chance for me to resurrect."
Jiang Man asked curiously, "Not the Immortal Sect?"
"The Immortal Sect will only get involved once I am resurrected," the Demon King said.
Jiang Man nodded. "Fine, I agree. But I want two Demon Kings."
"No, that would make you too suspicious. My appearance has already drawn attention, so later you will need to use your Hidden Spirit to ’kill’ me. If you kill two, you’ll be exposed. However, I can leave some of the other Demon Beasts for you," the Demon King said.
"That works too. But how many subordinates like me have you recruited?" Jiang Man asked curiously.
"You’ll know when the time is right," the Demon King replied.
"Then let’s not delay. Place the lock. It’ll be trouble if people show up," Jiang Man urged.
The Demon King felt that something was off.
This person was too eager, too proactive.
’Who would be in such a hurry for something like this?’
"Aren’t you in a bit of a rush?" the Demon King asked.
Jiang Man nodded. "Of course. Why shouldn’t I be eager for such a great deal? Once the lock is in place, I won’t be affected by this place anymore. Not only that, but I’ll also get fifty thousand Spiritual Source.
"My future will be smooth sailing.
"If I’m late for such a good opportunity, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?"
The Demon King looked at Jiang Man and felt that he was right.
But these were the words she should have been saying to persuade him.
And yet...
...the roles were reversed.
It made her feel unsettled.
’Or perhaps he plans to attack me while I’m placing the lock?’
’It’s not like I haven’t encountered that before.’
With that, the Demon King began the process of placing the lock.
She pointed a finger at the spot between Jiang Man’s eyebrows.
In the next moment, an invisible well appeared beside Jiang Man, forming a lock that fell upon his Heart Spirit.
