Chapter 292: Chapter 288:1 actually forgot an important thing yesterday

“Impossible!?” Even though the Demon King, who had lost his physical body for a thousand years and had long forgotten the feeling of panic, felt like his world was being turned upside down.

Even a powerful soul like the Blood God could only vaguely perceive his own existence, needing to speak first to confirm whether he himself was nearby; but this human in front of him was looking directly at him in the void.

“He must be trying to trick me!” the Demon King thought, suspecting that this human, like the Bat Demon, could sharply detect danger, hence he started speaking into the void.

Tang Luo, who was flying at high speed, stopped his soul projection and hovered in mid-air, frowning at the floating numbers in front of him, thinking that since entering the Minor Spiritual Realm, one strange event had followed another.

The fact that there was a sun bearing a number hanging over the Minor Spiritual Realm was strange enough; not to mention that a constantly jumping number had separated from that sun and had been following him since the beginning.

The number jumped incessantly from ill to 999, extremely distracting. Tang Luo initially paid it no mind, but if he failed to realize that this thing was a spy after it had followed him for ten miles, it would be highly unusual.

Concentrating Spiritual Power in his palm, he threw a punch towards the number below. His exceptionally thick right forearm, exceeding the length of his knee, moved with a shocking speed that resembled a lightning strike.

According to past experience, there was a physical entity beneath the number. Regardless of what this thing was, Tang Luo thought quite bluntly: first give it a punch, then talk.

The bewildered soul projection watched as Tang Luo stopped, then saw the other’s fist come over, finally giving up all illusions in his heart, confirming that this human can indeed see him.

But to hit a soul, was nothing short of a pipe dream. In the state of a soul projection, only King Realm experts or martial artists with deep research into the Minor Spiritual Realm could attack it.

Tang Luo’s punch which could penetrate an iron armor, felt like a gentle breeze when facing the soul projection and could not cause any harm.

Pulling back his fist and watching the numbers on the projection constantly changing, Tang Luo confidently said: “You are that Demon King’s soul projection, aren’t you?”

Ji Fu had said that the Demon King couldn’t cause any havoc, so he definitely wouldn’t deceive him. The only one who could deploy such a scout’s ability in the Minor Spiritual Realm was undoubtedly the Thousand-Year-Old Fox.

Hearing his identity being revealed, the Nine-tailed Fox King was unsurprised, his old voice chuckled: “Indeed, it is I.”

Listening to the sound coming from all directions, Tang Luo confirmed his guess and said, “I wonder why Lord Demon King is following me, what is your intention?”

“Heh heh heh heh, boy, aren’t you afraid of me?” The soul projection floated around Tang Luo, finally stopping in front of him, asking curiously.

In his impression, the Human Race were the most cowardly. No matter how deep the cultivation was, they could not change their cowardly nature. Hence, dragon’s might had always been a big weapon against the Human Race, even more so when an elusive soul projection like himself could induce fear in people’s hearts. However, he didn’t understand why this human showed no fear.

He was, after all, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon King! The proud king was curious to see the look of fear on the human’s face so he let out a streak of light from the Realm Heart, illuminating his body and finally allowing Tang Luo to see what the Demon King looked like. Turned out, it was nothing more than a grimacing Chibi Fox Demon, hardly a threat.

Tang Luo, narrowing his eyes, laughed: “Of course I am afraid. Such a large scene, I am so scared I want to run away.”

The Tang Clan also had something like a Blood Slave to which he referred. However, such creatures that needed beast blood to survive were hard for the Tang Clan to raise in large quantities. But looking at the scale of the Minor Spiritual Realm, filled with them as far as the eye could see, he was very curious as to how the Demon King managed to do it, especially since Ji Fu had said that there wasn’t a single living creature in the Minor Spiritual Realm.

Although he had some hunches, he still wanted to lure out some information from the Demon King.

“Heh heh heh heh.” The tiny Nine-tailed Fox Demon let out a hoarse laugh that was at odds with its appearance. “Then why don’t you run?”

“My clan members are still trapped here, how can I run.” Tang Luo said with a light smile, “Don’t you think so, Lord Demon King?”

Upon hearing Tang Luo’s words, the mini Nine-tailed Fox’s face turned serious and stared at him for a long time. “You are a good human.”

Fearing but not running, only because his clan members were still trapped here, these choices of Tang Luo reminded the Fox King of his past, when he stood alone against the two strongest individuals of the Human Race outside the Fox Fairy Hill. This led to him developing a sense of identification with the human in front of him.

“But if you don’t run, you will be devoured by the Blood Dragon.”

Tang Luo looked back at the three Blood Dragons approaching from the clouds, which dyed the sky red. He turned around and laughed, “Don’t be so pessimistic, what if I win?”

“Foolish!” The Fox Demon scolded, “Even if your physical body is powerful, you cannot escape death under the siege of three Blood Dragons.” He paused, let alone dealing with hundreds of thousands of tireless Blood Beasts.

“Then please do me a favor, negotiate with him, allow me to take my clan members out of here, ok?” Tang Luo spread his hands and asked with a smile.

The formerly harmonious conversation suddenly turned cold. The Demon King’s soul projection vanished back into the void as the Realm Heart’s aurora faded. He asked coldly, “How did you know that there was another one in the Minor Spiritual Realm?”

The existence of the Blood God was the Fox King’s most important secret. He was even willing to self-destruct his soul to keep this secret, just so he could let his old friend escape.

He could not protect the descendants of the Fox Fairy Hill a thousand years ago, but a thousand years later, he was determined to protect his old friend.

With his biggest secret being laid bare by Tang Luo, the initial admiration for him disappeared, and the Fox King was now filled with dread and murderous intent.

Seeing the sudden change in the Demon King, Tang Luo confirmed his suspicion. He really couldn’t figure out why the Demon King would expose himself. If he was alone, as long as he didn’t expose himself, who would know that the protector of the realm had turned into the Demon King’s soul projection?

Unless he was trying to hide something, there was no need to block everyone from entering. If he just wanted to destroy one side of the Minor Spiritual Realm, he could have self-destructed any time before Ji Fu’s arrival. In that situation, nobody could stop the protector of the realm.

Although he didn’t know the specific circumstances, Tang Luo felt he had enough bargaining power to negotiate with the Demon King. He pointed at the three Blood Dragons that were still far away in the south, smiled at the soul projection and said, “You have seen my speed. If I escape recklessly to the north now, can I run out of the Minor Spiritual Realm and tell the Han Family what’s happening here before the Blood Dragons get to me?”

Sometimes information asymmetry does grant additional competitiveness. In the eyes of the Demon King, the Han Family and him were on the same side. Moreover, the Han Family was the most powerful and locally dominant human family a thousand years ago. After a thousand years of development, this could only bring greater fear to him. The evidence lay in the fact that the moment the Demon King saw the Spirit Realm Gate open, he was ready to self-destruct his soul.

As long as he held up the banner of the Han Family, Tang Luo believed that he could negotiate with the Demon King.

After all, to destroy a creature like a Blood Dragon, just using fists was not enough. The moment he thought of having to use Spiritual Power, Tang Luo’s intelligence could rival that of a sage..
