Chapter 223 The demon’s invasion 2

The gate part 2

/*unedited*/

The young man did not expect to be picked up by the demon and no matter how hard he struggles; he felt that the grip of the demon on his body was terrifyingly strong.

As fearless as he is the young man didn't scream but just struggle to free himself.

The rest of the cultivators were stunned in this scene. They too didn't expect to see such a thing where a cultivator is unable to extract himself to a mere powerless beast. But what they could not understand is that, even though they could not detect the Qi undulation on the demon's body, they can still feel a powerful force from it.

This is because cultivators cannot see mana or natural energy. Only those who have reached the World Nascent realm can detect as such, and this is also vice versa.

Although Qi and natural energy are as one, only a few can manipulate both. Shin Jiao found a way to use both and he knows that there are others who also found their own way.

So right now in this situation both parties, the demon, and the cultivators are unable to gauge each other's powers and only through fighting can they found out.

"Let go of me you foul beast!" the young man shouted.

But then as if bored the demon suddenly increased his strength in that grip.

CRACK!!!

AHHH!!!

The sound of bones cracking can be heard as the young man suddenly produced a blood-curdling scream.

Everyone in the stage was dumbfounded at this scene.

Suddenly something flew towards the demon who is now feeling dominant of his strength. That thing hit the demon's wrist and a cut appears.

With a pang of pain, the demon suddenly loosens his grip as the young man's body fell to the ground.

But before his body hits a middle-aged man suddenly stopped his fall.

"Ma… master… I… I can't feel my legs… arrgghhh…" the young man muttered with a pained expression clearly written all over his face.

"Take this immediately." The middle-aged man said as he put a pill on the young man's mouth.

They knew that the bones on the young man's body are almost crushed. Thankfully someone acted immediately as stopped the impending doom.

A young woman was lying on the ground and holding a silver crossbow on her hand, that young woman is Fey Ouyang. She has partly recovered her Qi and wounds. Because she was the one who opened the portal she saw the horror from the other side with her spiritual sense.

On the other side of that crack there exist countless concourses of demons of every kind. Then she saw a figure with a magnificent aura standing on a throne. She clearly saw that person's gorgeous smile and her attractive appearance. Though she looks like a human yet there are just something different about her.

On her forehead there exist two long horns that look like that of a dragon's. And her ears are sharp with a blood-red hair flowing down her back. The woman who seems to look like the leader of the horde is dressed in weird clothing made of leather and silver scales.

While observing the woman, Fey Ouyang suddenly saw the woman lifting her head and their eyes seem to have met.

She can see a cat-like iris directly looking at her and when the woman smile, she saw a row of pearly white teeth, but two sharp fangs made her look sinister yet attractive.

With this vision, Fey Ouyang clearly knows the danger she was in and the result of her action would spell doom to the kingdom. So she decided to end everything but never would have expected that she would be saved.

After waking up, Fey Ouyang didn't expect to see one of those demons in person. And with the experience she had, she knew that the demon should be killed or else they would be destroyed.

"Seniors! We have to kill that demon or else we would face millions like it if it fully opens the portal." Fey Ouyang suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, the powerful cultivators just look on the side and didn't bother listening to her. They are curious about the ability of the creature and wanted to see it further in a battle. With their pride and status as powerful cultivators, they always look down on those creatures without Qi undulations in their bodies no matter how strong they are. So they just decided to watch it on the side.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he knew the attitude of these people and their disgust on mortals. It happened to him before, even though he shows great strength he was treated as a mere ant in their eyes. But then it was too late for them to regret after getting beaten down by him.

While the young men and women in the stage showed a fearful expression on their faces. This is because the senior who faced the demon a while ago was a late-stage golden core realm cultivator yet he was squished with ease by the demon. This shows that the demon's strength is truly terrifying.

Upon realizing the situation, Shin Jiao decided to intervene before it's too late. So he stood up from beside Fey Ouyang. Then he walks towards the demon that looks menacingly at the people on the stage.

"This demon has the strength of a middle stage infant soul realm cultivator. It is not practicing Qi cultivation but natural energy cultivation. The seniors in this place would regret not doing anything when this demon decided to attack." Shin Jiao said as he stopped after reaching near the demon.

When the demon saw Shin Jiao casually walking towards it, it feels that another ant is going to be squished by it. So it decided to play with Shin Jiao before wreaking havoc in this place. After it has its fun, the demon would fully open the gate where its comrades would be able to enter and invade this seemingly blissful place.

Upon hearing Shin Jiao the middle-aged people and the old masters frown. They didn't believe Shin Jiao's words because they could not detect any Qi on the demon's body. Although with Shin Jiao's words they now watched in vigilance. They would just jump into action if everything will go sour. As for Shin Jiao's words that the demon is equal to a middle-stage infant soul realm cultivator, they would not believe it… yet.

"Demon, what is your name?" Shin Jiao asked in a cold voice.

"Haha… Does a mere ant want to know my name? Do you think I'm a fool? I know the mages' ability to curse their enemy through names… So, no... and you can just die!" the demon said with a sneer.

It then lifted its huge arms and immediately swipe towards Shin Jiao wanting to grab him like the one before.

But suddenly the demon was stunned as it only grabbed air.

"Huh!? Where? Where is he?" the demon asked in confusion.

As a powerful being, it didn't expect to encounter a situation where a mere ant could dodge its attack.

Even in their previously failed invasion of the humans land, he was able to kill many mages and warriors. Even those valiant knights are not its match. So how could some mere ant wearing cloth armor be able to defeat it?

Everyone also turns their gaze around and was unable to see the figure of Shin Jiao.

"Is that young man dead?"

"What happened?"

"I think he's all talk. How could a mere primary stage gold core realm cultivator face that demon that was able to wound our senior?"

"Tsk, too bad… he was a promising young man who was able to break the array formation with ease. But his luck was all too bad."

As the young men and women discuss while watching the situation the powerful cultivators on the side squinted their eyes. They too could not see the young man. But when they used their spiritual sense, a surprised look on their faces appears.

"How did that happened?"

"Did that young fellow teleported there in an instant?"

"Haha… amazing truly amazing."

Various reactions suddenly showed on the faces of the middle-aged and old men on the side.

Then suddenly the young people who are discussing something also finally found Shin Jiao and were also dumbfounded. They too could not believe what happened and how did he got there.

The demon saw the reaction of the people down below and can't help but frown.

"Where is that ant?" shouted the demon in anger.

Then suddenly the demon heard someone talking beside him. The voice is close which made the demon almost jump in fright. It didn't expect someone or something could approach it without it knowing. But no matter how hard the demon thought about the situation it could not help but accept the fact that the enemy was able to approach it in very close proximity.

"You're reaction speed is too slow… Are you looking for me?" Shin Jiao's voice was heard by the demon coming from its right side.

It then stiffly turns its head and there he found a young man casually standing on its shoulder armor. What made the demon dumbfounded is the fact that the human seems to not weight anything as it didn't even feel its shoulder budge.

This made it feel a little scared of the opponent this time.

Faster speed, weird ability, and unpredictable. These characteristics made the demon feel weary of Shin Jiao.

Then without a word, the demon immediately lifted its arm and tried grabbing Shin Jiao's figure. But then he suddenly vanished once again, making the demon angry.

Then it quickly grabs the two axes from its back and began brandishing it towards Shin Jiao's figure.

The rest of the cultivators jumps out of the way and position themselves far from the battle. The young people are already afraid of the demon as they can now see the power of the enemy. With one simple swing, it is able to shatter a stage that is infused with Qi. This stage is special because it is indestructible even if a gold core realm cultivator goes all out.

Only those powerful cultivators in the infant soul realm and above can destroy them or by using a powerful artifact.

Yet so far they can see none of those in this fight. The demon is just casually brandishing its weapon and every hit from those crude-looking axes would shatter parts of the stage.

"Shit! I think the youngster was right. That demon has the power of an infant soul cultivator."

"What should we do then?"

"We can't just let that youngster face that thing alone."

"Well, what can we do? I think that the demon is more powerful than the rest of us. Only senior Ouyang and the head judge can face it head-on."

"Right, but senior Gu Ouyang is already wounded heavily and the head judge also expended his Qi trying to break the formation before."

In this seemly hopeless situation, Fey Ouyang who is sitting next to her father didn't blink her eyes as he watches the young man who saved her jumps to and fro around the stage.

Although she knew that it would be hopeless, yet deep in her heart she hoped that he would be able to defeat the demon.

Then suddenly as she watches her heart almost skipped a beat upon seeing what happened next.
