Chapter 299: Over My Dead Body

Chapter 299: Over My Dead Body

All demon cultivators in the Qinghu Empire were aware that besides the fact that Demon King Tianfeng had exceptional talent, he had also stumbled upon a talisman inheritance, and was proficient in several types of yellow rank, mid-grade talismans, and among them was the Binding Talisman.

The Binding Talisman had played a crucial role back that one time when Demon King Tianfeng fought those three cultivators at the same realm. Once a fourth stage Qi Refining Realm cultivator like Xia Ji was bound by the Binding Talisman, there was basically no chance that he’d be able to break free.

The princess let out a deep breath of relief. Gently moving away from Xia Ji's grip, she turned around and faced him, then delivered two slaps squarely on his face.

Slap! Slap!

Xia Ji's cheeks turned red from the hits, but he remained completely motionless, unable to retaliate. He could only stare at the princess with cold eyes.

Demon King Tianfeng flashed and landed next to the princess. "You can’t be so careless again, little girl. You’d have been in grave danger if the ruler hadn’t asked me to look after you,” he reminded dotingly.

The princess shot him an innocent smile and stuck out her tongue playfully. "Uncle Tianfeng, I was wrong...."

"Your skills are as extraordinary as always, Demon King Tianfeng.” The shopkeeper immediately bowed with a smile.” If it were me saving the princess, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that she’ll be unharmed."

Demon King Tianfeng chuckled lightly. "Even a slightly lower quality yellow rank mid-grade talisman like the Binding Talisman takes three months to be completed. Even a Foundation Building cultivator would find it difficult to detect its aura before it’s activated, which is why it was so easy to restrain this kid." Demon King Tianfeng looked at the princess. "This Binding Talisman could have been used on a Foundation Building cultivator, but now it was wasted on a fourth stage Qi Refining Realm cultivator. Little girl, how do you think you should compensate me?"

"I will ask my mother to provide you with more talisman materials,” she said awkwardly. “I don't have the money to compensate you for the talisman"

Demon King Tianfeng chuckled.

Xia Ji was watching them, frozen. There was a slight melancholy in his flickering eyes. He’d most likely die here... in the Qianhu Empire.

Xia Ji sighed in his heart. What a pity. I had many things I wanted to do....

"Uncle Tianfeng, how do you plan to deal with this kid? Why not hand him over to Big Brother Jue?" said the princess as her eyes drifted to Xia Ji, disdainful. “"You're such a despicable person for opposing Big Brother Jue and trying to slander him. You’re disgusting."

"The journey back is far, and it’s not worth the trouble of taking him with us on the way. It’s better if we just kill him here.” Demon King Tianfeng smirked coldly, sizing up Xia Ji. "How should I kill you? Should I dice you into eight pieces or should I slice you up?"

Xia Ji wanted to curse loudly, but he was bound and couldn't say a word. He could only glare at Demon King Tianfeng. However, he showed no sign of fear. Even if he died, he would die standing. He would never kneel and beg to the likes of him. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

"Why don’t we steam him, Demon King Tianfeng? Look at how tender his skin and flesh is, he must be very delicious to eat!" suggested a crocodile demon. It was the same upright crocodile that mocked Fang Chen in the store. it was staring at Xia Ji with gluttony.

The Qinghu Empire had rules and demon cultivators were not allowed to eat human cultivators; however, there were always exceptions.

"Yes, yes, let's steam him, and boil his bones and flesh into soup!"

"He wants to take away the scoundrel who abducted the princess? Dream on!"

"The temper of Demon King Tianfeng isn’t very great. This guy is about to die soon; I hope he doesn't drag us down with him....."

"Kid, no matter how wealthy you are, you don't have the qualifications to boast in front of Demon King Tianfeng.” The crocodile demon cultivator chuckled strangely. “Who do you think you are?"

Fang Chen glanced at him, then casually waved his sleeve, and Little Sword instantly pierced through that demon cultivator's forehead. The crocodile slumped to the ground with a thud, the smile still on his lips and a hole now in his head.

The demon cultivators who had been mocking Fang Chen were struck with disbelief. How dare that human kill a demon cultivator in front of Demon King Tianfeng?

They all snapped out of their daze, and stared fiercely at Fang Chen, anger surging in their eyes.

The princess was astonished. Who’s this guy? Could he be Xia Ji’s friend?

Only Demon King Tianfeng and Shopkeeper Lin turned pensive when they saw what had happened.

That sword wasn’t ordinary! Its speed was so fast that neither of them had been able to see it as it moved!

This person not only has a good background but he’s also strong. No wonder I couldn't discern his cultivation level. He should also be at the mid-stage of the Foundation Building Realm, pondered Shopkeeper Lin.

Fang Chen stared at Demon King Tianfeng calmly. "I want to take him away. What do you think, is that feasible?"

Demon King Tianfeng’s eyes narrowed. Rationally speaking, he couldn't understand why Fang Chen would do this. But he knew it’d be for the better if he exercised some restraint now, since the princess was here. However...

He really couldn't stand how calm Fang Chen was... it was like he treated him like some kind of decoration.

"You want to take him away?” Demon King Tianfeng lips curled. “Over my dead body."

"Then you’ll die," replied Fang Chen calmly.

Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture!

The First Move of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture!

A terrifying sword intent swept forth, causing everyone in the vicinity to tremble with fear. All the cultivators felt a chill run down their spines as their skins pimpled with goosebumps.

Demon King Tianfeng's scalp exploded, and his eyes bulged. The sword intent swept through him like a storm before he had the chance to defend himself, consuming him.

When the terrifying aura dissipated, everyone was shocked to find that Demon King Tianfeng had disappeared without a trace....
