Jiang Chen hadnât had any chance to show off since he had become a Martial Arts Saint. Heâd been chased by Whitey and then punched by a Celestial Demonic Emperor. His body was aching all over.
âHow is it possible that a Celestial Demonic Emperor is so strong?â
Jiang Chen felt puzzled.
He did not know that the demonic energy on every level of the Demonic Abyss differed, and demons got stronger as the levels raised.
For example, the demonic energies on the first three levels were in balance. As a result, their demons were classified into three groups: human, earth, and heaven.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But the Human Demons, Earth Demons, and Celestial Demons on the fourth level were stronger.
However, since few people ever came up here, such a fact was never brought up.
Enduring the pain, Jiang Chen finally crawled out of the crater.
Looking around, he could not see the Celestial Demonic Emperor or Whitey.
But thanks to their blood relationship, Jiang Chen found Whitey very soon by exerting the Great Method of the Void.
To his surprise, Whitey was washing himself in a pond, a geographic feature that was rarely seen in the Demonic Abyss. He didnât look as hideous as he had before.
Sensing Jiang Chenâs arrival, Whitey left the pond and returned to its bank.
He was shaking the water off his body while Jiang Chen was landing, and he spattered the latter with water.
âDude, you did that intentionally, didnât you?â Jiang Chen kind of understood why Whitey had run away. It was because he didnât want Jiang Chen to see him looking as bad as he had.
Whitey didnât speak. He lay on all fours, resting his head on his forepaws and rolling his eyes.
âAre you mad at me?â
Seeing that, Jiang Chen asked with a small smile.
Whitey looked at him proudly, and pretended as if he was going to sleep.
âOkay. So, Iâm leaving.â
Then Jiang Chen turned around.
A paw extended and stepped on his foot even before he started to walk.
A smile pulled at the corners of Jiang Chenâs mouth. Hugging Whitey, he said seriously, âCome back with me. No matter what happens in the future, Iâll never send you to another strange place.â
If the Monster came to ask for Whitey again, Jiang Chen would absolutely refuse.
Whitey jumped into Jiang Chenâs arms and hugged him with his paws, as if he was a human.
Oooo~~
Whitey touched Jiang Chenâs cheek with his fluffy head and whimpered with chagrin.
âOkay...okay, I know you suffered a lot.â
Jiang Chen was petting Whiteyâs hair to soothe him.
Then the man and the tiger walked toward the teleportation room.
AHO.
Whitey suddenly signaled that Jiang Chen should sit on his back and he could carry him like in the old days.
âWhitey, letâs race. Letâs see who will arrive at the teleportation room first. What do you say?â said Jiang Chen.
Whiteyâs eyes lit up. He was still like a kid. What he liked best was to play. However, in the Realm of Monsters, all the other monsters were scared of him and saw him as a freak. He did not have any friends here.
Then the man and the tiger started to chase each other.
As for Jiang Chenâs injuries, they had recovered thanks to his divine bodyâs recovery ability.
Xuan Qing was waiting anxiously outside the teleportation room of the fourth level.
It had almost been half an hour. The Demon Slayers Palace would start up the room very soon. Jiang Chen would miss it if he did not come back in time.
Although maybe he could have another chance, given how powerful the demons on the fourth level were, who knew whether Jiang Chen could hold on until then?
Oh?
At this moment, Xuan Qing sensed something. She kept staring straight ahead. When she saw a white figure rushing at her at high speed, she was so scared that she was going to run into the teleportation room immediately.
However, she recalled right away that this Monsterâs Sovereign Descendant was not a demon, so the teleportation room could not protect her.
âIâm doomed. This God of Carnage will absolutely kill me.â
Xuan Qing was at a loss. Thinking of the strength of the Monsterâs Sovereign Descendant, she didnât even have the nerve to think about fighting him.
Fortunately, soon the air around her was torn open like a mirror.
Jiang Chen appeared without any sign.
âYou?â Xuan Qing did not know that Jiang Chen had such a gorgeous physical movement.
âYou cheated!â
Whitey landed on the square and then kept running at high speed. He ran up to Jiang Chen in anger.
âYou cheated.â
âLil Whitey, I didnât say what methods shouldnât be used,â said Jiang Chen with a smile.
âJiang...Jiang Chen.â
Xuan Qing felt it was incredible seeing the interaction between the man and the tiger. She plucked up her courage to ask, âYou two are...?â
âWhitey is my younger brother.â
Jiang Chen answered Xuan Qing in a serious manner.
âIt was necessary to correct how Whitey called him now.
âDada was obviously inappropriate, since he hadnât gotten married.
âBeing brothers would be perfect for them.â
âNo wonder.â
Xuan Qing did not doubt him. Since Jiang Chen had insisted on coming to the fourth level to rescue Whitey, she supposed they must be very close.
A light wall showed up before she could say anything. The teleportation formation had been switched on. Jiang Chen, Xuan Qing, and the tiger returned to the outside world.
A sea breeze blew by. The sunlight kept them warm. The blue sky, the white clouds, and the blue sea provided a startling contrast to the Demonic Abyss.
âWe are out.â
Xuan Qing let out a sigh. She felt much more relaxed. âJiang Chen, are you going back to the Demon Slayers Palace with me?â
âNo, Iâm not going.â
Jiang Chen shook his head. He had achieved his goal. There was no need to go back to the Demon Slayers Palace. Otherwise, there would be more troubles.
âYou know what happened very well. Just tell the Demon Slayers Palace the truth,â said Jiang Chen.
âBut...â Xuan Qing hesitated. She wanted to talk about the relations between them.
âI should be in first place on the Slaying-Demons List. People must assume Iâve gotten the Goddessâs remnants and inheritance. You can tell people the credit goes to the Heavenly Bestowal Woman. I donât think anyone will target you. And you can focus on strengthening yourself.â
Jiang Chen said, âIf you want to, you can come to visit me at the Ling Long Celestial Palace.â
âOkay.â
His words made sense to Xuan Qing. The business between the two had been quite smooth and successful. Both of them had gotten what they wanted.
However, Jiang Chenâs impersonal attitude made Xuan Qing disappointed.
âSee you.â
It was not because Jiang Chen felt cold to Xuan Qing that he wanted to leave as soon as possible, but because Xuan Qing was a disciple of the Demon Slayers Palace, and the Demon Slayers Palace would be able to locate her.
If he did not leave quickly, as long as the Demon Slayers Palace could locate her, it meant they could locate him as well.
He did not want to explain to them about his number one place on the Slaying- Demons List or anything about the Goddessâs remnants. He wanted to leave with no one knowing where he was.
Reluctant to say good-bye, Xuan Qing watched Jiang Chen leaving.
Jiang Chen flew away with Whitey.
âThatâs not good.â
Jiang Chen suddenly turned pale. He looked up at the sky.
He felt extremely strange about flying outside. His strength as a Martial Arts Saint did not feel very smooth.
He felt so oppressed that he could not even breathe.
âWhitey, letâs go into the deep sea.â
Jiang Chen took Whitey, who had no idea what had happened, toward the deep sea.
At the same time, the law of nature was functioning with him as the center. A ko cloud appeared soon. It moved rapidly to chase him.
âThatâs very mean.â
Jiang Chen was unhappy. The law of nature did not allow anyone to take any advantages. He was a Martial Arts Saint, but a ko of thunder was on the verge of breaking out, and the ko of thunder this time was different. It felt more dreadful than the Thunderbolt Martial Soul that had appeared when he had woken up last time.
Still, being subdued, his own strength retrogressed to the peak of Martial Emperor.
âThe Will of Natural Law canât be violated?â Jiang Chen couldnât help but say to himself.
