501 Changing identity of the predator and the preys
"Junior brother, we are going more deep into the devils' territories. When are you planning to return?", Sima Chunhua asked. She was slightly afraid after seeing the death of the Xuantian sect elder.
"Senior sister, what is there to afraid? Am not I here?", Zhan Chen looked towards Sima Chunhua with a smile on his face.
"Junior brother, please be careful. We should return after scouting for a while", Sima Chunhua spoke.
"Senior sister, I am still looking for a good place for us. We can slay few devils for fun if they get in our way", Zhan Chen spoke.
"What? You are still thinking about this....?", Sima Chunhua stared towards Zhan Chen with a speechless expression on her face. She couldn't understand how could a person think about love and passion even whe facing life threatening danger to their lives.
"Why not? I am not planning to return untill I get to dual cultivate with you", Zhan Chen spoke. He laid his desire bare as there was no point in hiding his goal from Sima Chunhua.
"Junior brother, how can you think about doing those things under such circumstances?", Sima Chunhua looked towards Zhan Chen with reddened cheeks. She appeared more charming to Zhan Chen with the red tinge on both of her cheeks.
Sima Chunhua didn't discover any scouts other than the dead Xuantian sect elder. Zhan Chen had come across few scouts through his soul consciousness but he carefully avoided them.
The farther they got from the hill range, the less scouts they had discovered in the surrounding. Finally, there was a point when Zhan Chen couldn't discover any scouts in the surrounding area.
They discovered a small hamlet near a stream after walking for a while. There was no trace of any creature in the surrounding area. The hamlet appeared to be abandoned when Zhan Chen and Sima Chunhua entered inside.
"Junior brother, watch out", a horrified expression appeared on the face of Sima Chunhua when a devil suddenly attacked Zhan Chen. But she was oblivious that another devil had appeared behind her and trying to stab it's claw through her belly.
The devil who was attacking Zhan Chen had a hideous grim on its face. He thought that he had successfully sneak attacked Zhan Chen but to its astonishment, Zhan Chen dodged to his side just before it's attack could reach him. He activated Ethereal cloud steps and appeared near Sima Chunhua in the nick of time.
Sima Chunhua felt cold all over body when she saw the devil who had sneaked behind her. She was fortunate that Zhan Chen was watching over her security. If she was alone, she would have already fallen in this small hamlet.
Zhan Chen appeared infront of Sima Chunhua in the nick of time and pulled her aside. Only her clothes were shredded when the devil launched it's attack towards her.
"Ke ke ke, we have found some interesting preys. They have managed to see through our sneak attack", a devil spoke.
"The girl' body goes to me. As for the boy, you can have it", the devil who had sneak attacked Sima Chunhua spoke. He had a greedy expression on his face as he looked towards Sima Chunhua. They were talking in devil dialect but Zhan Chen could understand their words because he had obtained the memories of his shadow devil slave.
"Merely two Martial ascension realm shadow devils. Yet you are dreaming about killing me and my woman?", Zhan Chen looked towards the the two devils with a sneer on his face. They were able to avoid his soul consciousness due to their camouflaging abilities as shadow devils. Now that they had exposed themselves, he had nothing to fear.
"Human, you can speak our dialect?", the two shadow devils looked towards Zhan Chen with surprised expression on their faces. Even Sima Chunhua was looking towards Zhan Chen with a surprised expression as she heard the strange language coming from his mouth.
"Devil language is not so special. Anyone can learn it if they come across the language", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Alright, let me earn some killing points. I have to prepare the alliance token first", Zhan Chen spoke. He took out the Sky dragon alliance's token and poked his finger with his nail. The Sky dragon alliance's token glowed with a bluish luster as it absorbed Zhan Chen's blood.
Sima Chunhua was startled at first but she was now completely speechless. Amidst such a tense situation, Zhan Chen's action managed to entertain her.
"Junior brother, you can't act reckless. Both of these devils' cultivation levels are higher than us", she spoke to Zhan Chen. She had already taken out her sword and facing the two shadow devils with a fighting stance.
"Retreat if you feel something amiss. This brat is acting strangely. He knows our dialect. Moreover, there is not a sheard of fear in his eyes when he looks towards us", the two devils spoke among themselves with their soul consciousness. They were planning to take Zhan Chen by surprise. So, they immediately attacked him after their conversation ended.
The attack of shadow devils' were very strange and peculiar. Sima Chunhua couldn't even intercept them when they bypassed her and attacked Zhan Chen.
Both of them easily got closer to Zhan Chen and launched a claw attack towards him from different angles. A feeling of certain victory rose in their minds as they managed to swung their hands towards Zhan Chen's body.
"Junior brother, watch out", Sima Chunhua cried out nervously. She wanted to rush to Zhan Chen's side but the shadow devils were too fast.
Zhan Chen merely changed his body posture and aimed his palms towards both of the devils. Two energy swords pierced through the devils' bodies before their claw attacks could touch his body.
From a sense of victory to abject horror, that was the facial expression of the devils' at this moment. Zhan Chen's attacks were so fast that it surprised everyone including Sima Chunhua.
Zhan Chen swung his palms once again and two heads rolled to the ground. Utter confusion, disbelief that was the expression in the devils' eyes as they kept staring at Zhan Chen even after their death.
Zhan Chen didn't look at the devils' heads rather he was more curious about how much killing points he had received. He checked his token with his soul consciousness and a smile appeared on his face.
'600 points! So, the shadow devils are worth 300 points each. I would have only received 100 points each if they are ordinary Martial ascension realm devils. The Sky dragon alliance is really meticulous to award extra killing points for devils with special abilities', he thought to himself.
