I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 872: 454_2

“Interesting, could it be that the person those Heavenly Race folks want to capture is him?”

Instantly, the old man thought of something, his eyes shining as he looked at Su Nan.

However, now was not the time for elaborate thoughts. Faced with Elder Zhu’s full force attack, the old man in the green robe, already at a disadvantage, soon suffered another heavy injury.

Elder Zhu did not plan to let him go and continued to strike with all his strength.

Now, the old man in the green robe finally lost his composure. He wanted to return to the Land of the Lost, but his retreat was tightly blocked by Elder Zhu.

After another moment of fighting, the old man in the green robe was heavily injured for the third time, and this time he truly could not hold on any longer.

“Damn it! You’re forcing my hand. Since you wish to die, then I shall oblige!” the old man in the green robe spat viciously, knowing that without seriously injuring Elder Zhu, it would be difficult to escape today.

A glow surged, and instantly a beam of light shot out, seemingly traversing time and space, and in an instant, it struck Elder Zhu.

Elder Zhu couldn’t react in time, or rather, he couldn’t react at all, and was hit squarely by the attack.

This strike was terrifying to the point of seeming to destroy heaven and earth, giving Su Nan the impression of facing the Destruction Demon Eye in its avatar form.

As expected, Elder Zhu was seriously injured on the spot by this attack.

Seeing this, a hint of triumph appeared in the eyes of the old man in the green robe.

However, before he could relish his victory, something happened in the next moment that made his expression turn ugly.

Suddenly, the faltering aura around Elder Zhu recovered instantly!

“What is this…?” The old man in the green robe finally changed his expression, showing surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Elder Zhu too was astonished and confused. He couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Su Nan.

Although he did not know what had happened, he instinctively thought of Su Nan.

And just as he suspected, this was naturally Su Nan’s doing!

Elder Zhu, worthy of being a Saint-level expert, with his attack, directly drained all the power of time belonging to Su Nan.

With no time to think further, Elder Zhu continued his assault. The old man in the green robe, already no match for Elder Zhu, instantly found himself in a desperate situation and repeatedly suffered heavy injuries in just a short moment, his aura plummeting like a cliff.

“Escape! As long as the green hills are there, one need not fear a lack of firewood.”

The old man in the green robe finally realized the severity of the situation and immediately chose to escape using a secret technique.

The old man’s secret technique was incredibly swift, as if he had been erased from existence between heaven and earth, with all traces of him instantly vanishing.

“Eh? He escaped?” Elder Zhu, coming to his senses, furrowed his brow, hesitating whether to pursue or not.

He looked towards Su Nan, but to his surprise, Su Nan had already disappeared without a trace.

…

“Damn it, I almost capsized in the gutter!”

“Worthy of being a protagonist from Ancient Times, these Humans are indeed tough, like the centipede that won’t die. Despite the lack of heavenly and earthly vitality, they were not only not annihilated, but a Saint-level has once again been born.”

It was more than ten minutes after the old man in the green robe had fled that he appeared from the void on a small hill thousands of miles away from Silver Frost County.

Having been seriously injured repeatedly, utilizing his racial talents, and using a secret technique to escape, his strength was nearly depleted and his injuries severe.

What he urgently needed now was to recover as quickly as possible.

Making sure that no one was pursuing him, the old man immediately sat down cross-legged and began to heal.

But just as he had settled down, suddenly, alarm bells rang in his heart, and a sense of unknown danger abruptly enveloped him.

“Not good!” The face of the old man in the green robe turned pale, and he instinctively tried to dodge.

However, right then, an inexplicable force interfered with his movements, causing him to hesitate for a moment, and in that very moment, the danger that had appeared so suddenly had already struck him.

The Art of Fate!

In the moment of launching the attack, Su Nan had expended a whole one thousand five hundred points of Qi Luck!

For a fully empowered Saint-level expert, these points of luck would not have amounted to much, perhaps with no effect at all.

But now the old man in the green robe was already heavily injured, his strength reduced to nearly nothing; plus, with Su Nan’s surprise attack, these one thousand five hundred points of luck had become a death warrant.

Bang!

A muffled sound, and even as a Saint-level, the old man in the green robe could not withstand Su Nan’s full-powered strike, one side of his body exploding!

“Ah…!” The old man screamed, as the strike directly left him even more critically wounded.

“A tiger, when fallen flat, is bullied by dogs! To think there would come a day when I, an elder, would be sneak attacked by a King-level insect!”

Barely managing to gather the last of his strength to distance himself from Su Nan, when he saw clearly that his attacker was Su Nan, the old man’s eyes turned bloodshot, his ancient face twisted in ferocity.

Unfortunately, it was destined to be a futile roar.

Su Nan, since he dared to make a move, naturally had made thorough preparations.

A minute later, the man in green lay on the ground, already down to his last breath.

“Should I offer this old guy to the avatar for devouring, or use the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace to melt him?”

By now, Su Nan was somewhat hesitant.

Using the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace would allow him to obtain the old man’s Saint-level Blood Essence. With the old man’s essence and blood, he could exhibit the Talents of the Divine Race, and maybe even disguise himself as one of them.

While utilizing the God and Demon Sky Devour would grant him Qi Luck and a portion of the old man’s own Strength, each option had its pros and cons.

After pondering for a moment, Su Nan came to a decision.

He executed Across the Heavens Shift, and with the avatar’s cooperation, instantly transferred him in front of the avatar.

Eventually, he decided to let the avatar do the devouring.

The Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra was cast, and billowing Demonic Qi surged into the old man’s body.

Feeling the rolling Demonic Qi entering his body, the old man struggled to open his eyes, his cloudy gaze filled with confusion and unwillingness.

He did not understand how the Human from just moments ago suddenly transformed into a demon beast.

Soon, the old man died.

To his death, he never imagined he would ultimately perish at the hands of a young King-level chap.

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Assist Elder Zhu in Slaying a Saint Level Divine Race Expert,” 75 demon power points have been awarded.]

[Current available demonic power: 180 points]

“Phew…”

Looking at the old man’s Corpse, Su Nan let out a sigh of relief.

The first one was dealt with; the next would be simple.

If it weren’t for those two members of the Heavenly Race, this would be the first time he personally killed a Saint Level expert. And now, he was only at the peak of King Level—if this were to be known, who knows how many jaws would drop in shock.

As the avatar retracted the Demonic Qi from the old man’s corpse, the game’s prompt popped up again.

[Congratulations, you have devoured a Saint Level expert of the Divine Race, your Demon Race Luck has increased by 2500 points]

2500 points!

Subtracting the 1500 points used, he had made a profit of one thousand points—now his Demon Race Luck had reached a total of four thousand nine hundred points!

He was just a hundred points of Qi Luck short of reaching five thousand.

Furthermore, Su Nan immediately checked the Strength within the avatar’s body, and inside the avatar, there was now a powerful new force.

This force was different from any other that Su Nan had encountered—neither bloodline power, nor the Strength from ancient scriptures.

“This force should be unique to the Divine Race.”

“I wonder how this force is used?”

Su Nan frowned, eventually deciding to Look to foresee, wishing to try it out during the foreknowledge.

After consuming three foreknowledge opportunities in a row, foreseeing three times, he really did find an answer.

“Talent! This force can be used as a Divine Race Talent, and if I expend it all in an instant, it would be equivalent to that old guy’s full-force strike using his Talent!”

Surprise flashed in Su Nan’s eyes.

The strength of that old man’s Talent strike he had just witnessed was tremendous; even Elder Zhu, who initially held the advantage, was seriously injured by that single blow.

The power now within him was equivalent to the full-force strike of a Saint Level expert, which was far beyond what mere blood essence Talent could compare to.

If used well, he could easily gravely injure a Saint Level as well.

Now, he finally had a trump card for confronting Saint Level opponents.

“Good, there’s another member of the Divine Race waiting for me to hunt. As long as that guy is also taken down, I’ll have the power of two members of the Divine Race.”

“Then, even when the extraterritorial Saint Level demon beast arrives in three days, I’ll have nothing to fear!”

His eyes gleaming, at this moment Su Nan entertained the idea of hunting a Saint Level demon beast.

He was now rapidly nearing two-thirds completion of the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra. If he could devour a Saint Level, he would immediately be able to Break through to Saint Level!

…

Over ten minutes later, Su Nan returned to the entrance of the Land of the Lost.

At this moment, Elder Zhu was still gazing at the entrance to the Land of the Lost, not having left.

“Young friend Zhang Yang, where did you go?” Elder Zhu asked upon seeing Su Nan reappear.
