Chapter 1934 “Nightmare (2)”

“Hahaha!” Di Cang laughed wildly, his red lips rising into a mocking grin at Keeper Ling and his peers in front. “With only you?” His voice was dismissive, and the taunts were unabashedly echoing across the open field.

The contempt in the man’s eyes enraged Keeper Ling who was already quite irate to begin with: “Yes, with only me!”

“HA! I’ve been quite patient with the Celestial Realm due to her sake, and now you’re so pompous that you want to trap me? No one can stop me, not you, and not the useless garbage’s behind you! If I want to protect someone and take them with me, nothing can stop me!”

The man’s hand tightly wrapped around Bai Yan’s waist as he softly whispered into her ear, “Don’t worry, no one can hurt you anymore.”

No one can hurt you anymore….

Bai Yan’s heart couldn’t help but tremble a few times as she rested her eyes with comfort knowing he’s around.

Whether in a past life or in this life, this man would always protect her.

……

There were many masters of the Celestial Realm present today due to the summoning, and they all wanted their heads! Knowing this, Bai Yan wanted to help but was promptly stopped by Di Cang’s unyielding and protective hand. He’s wholeheartedly intent on doing this alone while she rests. And like that, the demon king carved a path of blood as he walked out of the execution grounds in broad daylight. Whomever foolish enough to attack him was promptly slain in a single strike, and those cowardly enough to back off didn’t do a thing.

A true war god, a demonic and undefeatable being of glory. Right now, on this day, Di Cang makes his stand to stomp in the faces of these scums of the Celestial Realm. For a millennium, they would never forget the humiliation of this battle. It’s also one of the reason they never dared to invade and annihilate the demon kin, they feared this man to the core.

“Keeper Xuan, let’s go up together and kill them!”

Keeper Ling’s expression grew increasingly more ugly as their forces gradually diminished under that onslaught. He’s ready to explode and decides to act in person by mustering up his powers for a powerful strike.

This was the opening he’s been waiting for by throwing his subordinates in there despite knowing their actions were futile. The grumpy Keeper wanted Di Cang to turn sideways and be distracted, which was exactly when he attacked. Unfortunately, that too was a foolish idea.

Knowing these shameless scums would never fight fairly, the demon king always kept an eye out for his back in case a sneak attack came. Sure enough, in the second where Keeper Ling came at him, Di Cang swung around and sent a whirlwind kick in counter. A devastating kick versus a simple palm strike, anyone could tell which had the further reach and power.

Slamming into the flaming pillar that had been used to execute Bai Yan, Keeper Ling throws up a mouthful of blood before looking up in shock: “You… how can this be?”

When did the king of the demons have such strength?

“Girl, we’re going.” Di Cang’s hands tighten around Bai Yan’s injured waist so that she doesn’t fall off by mistake before flying off into the horizon.

Those who wanted to stop him didn’t dare to do anything. They saw exactly what happened to Keeper Ling. If that guy got defeated with a single kick, what chance would they have? No one likes to die, and no one likes to die for nothing.

“Keeper Ling!” Keeper Xuan and the others quickly ran over to help their peer up. “What’s going on? When did Di Cang’s strength increase again?”

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the grumpy old man darkens in the face: “He likely used a forbidden technique to temporarily raise his strength. It won’t last long, and afterwards he will be weakened…. Send our people out and pursue them, they can’t get far like this!”

Damn that Di Cang, accursed demons!

Why are those beasts always butting heads with us everywhere?

I will never let them go!

……

Inside a valley, Di Cang crashed into the ground after losing elevation from the sky. He couldn’t fly anymore like the grumpy Keeper suspected. What’s more, he also got injured in the side during the exchange with the old scum there despite winning with his kick.

“You don’t need to be afraid, I’ll protect you.”

Bai Yan’s heart quivered with pain at the condition he’s in, “Di Cang, you’re injured?”
