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. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel-B1n.
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, 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.
