Chapter 216: Chapter 218: The Mortal World is Too Dangerous, I Want to Return to the Demon World

Xi Mu Demon Venerable and Liu Yun Demon Venerable joined hands just barely to withstand the attack of Anxi Demon Venerable, who, in his frenzy, saw a surge in strength. Alone, he forced both of them into a relentless retreat, devoid of any ability to resist.

"Die!" Anxi Demon Venerable kicked Xi Mu Demon Venerable away with one foot, followed up in a step, and his giant axe chopped toward Xi Mu Demon Venerable’s head, a blow that if it landed, would either kill Xi Mu Demon Venerable on the spot or severely injure him.

"How dare you?" Liu Yun Demon Venerable was blown away by Anxi Demon Venerable, too late to come to the rescue. Eyes splitting with rage, he watched as the giant axe chopped down, carrying a momentum as if it was splitting heaven and earth, brutally slashing down, completely disregarding the commands of the Demon Ancestor and treating this place like it was the Demon World. What a madman.

How did I provoke such a madman who actually dares to kill a Demon Venerable in the Mortal World? Liu Yun Demon Venerable, watching the giant axe fall, felt a tinge of regret for bringing Xi Mu Demon Venerable here for revenge. They didn’t have the courage to kill Anxi Demon Venerable, but this madman, Anxi Demon Venerable, truly dared to take their lives.

Boom!

A loud bang occurred, and Liu Yun Demon Venerable painfully closed his eyes.

Brother Xi Mu, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have come here to provoke this madman. Our grand endeavors in the Mortal World unachieved, yet today we might die here.

"Who?"

The anticipated scream of agony didn’t come; instead, Liu Yun Demon Venerable heard the furious roar of Anxi Demon Venerable.

"What is this?"

Opening his eyes, he saw a figure clad in silver armor at the place where the two Demon Venerables had been fighting. The figure was half-crouching, the meticulously fortified ground, as though it were reinforced with steel, had actually started cracking, and both Anxi Demon Venerable and Xi Mu Demon Venerable had been blown away by a massive shockwave.

Liu Yun Demon Venerable’s pupils shrank instantly. He had personally experienced the strength of Anxi Demon Venerable. Even amongst a hundred Demon Venerables of the Demon World in his frenzied state, Anxi was among those at the forefront, yet now he was knocked away in one strike.

Who exactly is this person in the silver armor? How could he be so strong?

"Is this the feeling of power?" Mu Can slowly experienced the changes in his body.

The Reincarnation Pearl covering his body felt like a thin layer of clothing, without any sense of restraint, and the power-boosting effect on Mu Can’s strength had actually reached five times. His Battle Armor was like a mini Array covering his body surface, enhancing his strength fivefold.

This power is immense, such a wonderful feeling. Mu Can felt an overwhelming strength filling his body, even just mobilizing a hint of Spiritual Energy allowed him to exert the full force he could usually only achieve by exerting his full strength.

"Who are you?" Being blown away in one strike, Anxi Demon Venerable had somewhat regained his senses, but his eyes were still bloodshot as he stared at this unexpected visitor, Mu Can.

Mu Can only then managed to survey his surroundings; he was half-crouching on the ground, the area around him for tens of meters, centered on his position, was all cracked like a spider-web.

Opposite him, a middle-aged man with a huge double-bladed axe and a face covered in patterns was staring at him furiously. Behind him by a few meters lay a person entirely in green, who had fallen into unconsciousness. It seemed, by the looks of it, he had accidentally interrupted this patterned man’s killing.

"Hey, hello there," Mu Can extended his hand and greeted Anxi Demon Venerable.

Liu Yun Demon Venerable nearly lost his footing and almost fell to the ground.

Is this person in silver armor an idiot? You almost injured Anxi, this old Demon King, from your sudden appearance, and you still have the nerve to greet him.

"Who exactly are you? What do you want to do?" Anxi Demon Venerable looked at Mu Can warily, Mu Can’s entire face hidden within an exquisitely crafted Silver Armor, leaving his visage completely obscured and adding an air of mystery around him.

Damn it, if it weren’t for this bothersome guy in front of me, Xi Mu would definitely have fallen to my axe, and Liu Yun wouldn’t have had a chance to escape either. By absorbing the Qi Fortune of the Demon World from both of them, I, Anxi, could someday reach the stature of a Demon Ancestor.

"Me? I’m here to save someone," Mu Can said while looking at the wary Anxi Demon Venerable.

"Saving someone? I don’t even know you. Are you here to save me?" Xi Mu Demon Venerable also woke up from his stupor, looking at Mu Can’s silhouette in confusion, just as he had thought himself surely doomed, only to be miraculously saved by the heaven-descended Mu Can.

"Hmph, daring to come here to save someone, are you seeking death?"

"Who is this green-haired oddity? Patterned man, I don’t know him; I’m not here to save him," Mu Can glanced at Xi Mu Demon Venerable, whose entire body was emerald green, and innocently spoke.

"Ah, you’re courting death."

The patterns on Anxi Demon Venerable’s face are manifestations of the Qi Fortune of the Demon World, a type of Demon Pattern that only those of certain stature within the Demon Clan possess, present only in the purest of demon bloodlines.

Initially symbols of status, how did it come to be so devalued by Mu Can as to be called ’patterned man’?

"You’re not here to save him, then who are you here to rescue?" Anxi Demon Venerable stared at Mu Can, not daring to hastily attack as he couldn’t see through Mu Can’s true power, afraid that any reckless action might give Mu Can an opportunity. From the way Mu Can had descended before, it was clear that this mysterious person in the Silver Armor was no weaker than himself.

"I’m here to save my master, but there’s also another matter."

Mu Can said somewhat sheepishly, as if he was dealing not with a fearsome Demon Venerable but just an ordinary middle-aged man.

"What is it?"

"Another thing is to kill you, oh no— to kill all three present here."

Mu Can spoke, and with a sudden burst of movement, he launched an attack on Anxi Demon Venerable.

This was Mu Can’s second encounter with a fighter of the Demon Venerable Level; previously, due to the Reincarnation Pearl, he hadn’t exhibited his current form, so against a Demon Venerable who was nothing but a head left, he could only seal the head with the Reincarnation Pearl, but now things were different. After unlocking the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, the Reincarnation Pearl also unlocked its second form, and Mu Can’s strength had drastically increased, well enough to overpower a Demon Venerable.

Boom!

With the wings on his back flapping, Mu Can’s speed had reached the limits allowed by the rules of Mortal World, and he fiercely threw a punch.

Anxi Demon Venerable didn’t even see the figure coming and was struck hard in the face by the punch, flying out like a kite with its string cut.

"Damn, how can he be so powerful." Facing Anxi Demon Venerable, Liu Yun Demon Venerable already felt helpless, and now watching Mu Can send Anxi Demon Venerable flying with a punch made Liu Yun Demon Venerable feel his brain scrambling.

Since when did the Mortal World have such powerful masters? The Mortal World is indeed too dangerous.

"Mortal World’s tricks run deep, I want to go back to the Demon World." Exchanging glances with Xi Mu Demon Venerable, both could see the unspoken words in each other’s eyes.

This Mortal World isn’t a soft persimmon to squash; it’s actually a tough nut to crack.
