Chapter 704 Talking Big?
Hearing the commotion, people left their formation houses with grim expressions. However, when they saw that instead of the whole demon army, just a few groups of over a hundred or so demons were attacking from all directions, their eyes lit up and they prepared to rush toward them, but their faces fell when they saw those who were closer had already surrounded the demon groups and were not allowing others to join in.
Max was fast, but because he was slightly far from the closest demon group, by the time he neared them, the group was already surrounded.
When the human mages saw him rush over, they quickly stopped him.
"Go find some other—"
Max, however, ignored them and simply released his bloodline energy-powered aura. Swoosh!
Immediately, everyone's expression changed. Even the strongest among them, a high-stage Five Star mage, wore a heavy expression.
As for the demons, they narrowed their eyes at Max before fear, anger, and greed flashed within them. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Max looked at the horned demons and then the human mages and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
'The demons immediately recognized me, but they did not. Just how short are these people's memories, or could it be they didn't see me or hear anything about me?' He wasn't overestimating himself because almost everyone who saw him in the war temple knew who he was, and they would mutter his nickname under their breath—King Slayer.
"Kill him!" The two strongest demons who were in the high-stage Five Star realm shouted, and all—over a hundred demons—attacked everyone who was standing between Max and them.
"Fuck!"
Those who became their target cursed Max in their hearts, knowing he was the reason the demons went berserk before going all out to defend. Unlike them, the rest of the human mages' eyes lit up in excitement because with demons focusing on the mages in front of them, they became easy targets for them.
Swoosh!
They immediately attacked and started securing as many kills as they could before the demons came to their senses.
Bang! Boom! Boom!
Puff!
Clang!
The mage frowned in confusion.
"Think a little, and you would realize that right before he stole your kills by killing those three demons, you were about to fall into a disadvantageous situation that would've led to serious injuries at best, otherwise death." High-stage mage said before starting to dig out the demon cores of the demons he killed.
While the mages fell in thought, thinking if they should hate him or be thankful to him, Max arrived before the next group, already wearing the mask to hide his identity.
Swoosh!
However, immediately, a peak Five Star mage appeared before him and blocked his path before coldly saying, his aura pressing down on him.
"My group is in charge here. Others are not allowed to interfere. Leave!"
Max stared at him before spreading his bloodline sense over the group. Noticing there were three other peak Five Star mages, he nodded, but before leaving, he said, "They will try to detonate their demon core when they feel they no longer can harm you. Be careful."
The man raised his brows before nodding, "Thank you. We will."
Max nodded and moved toward another group but was allowed to participate.
'Do I have to force my way in?' He thought.
Just then,
BOOM!!
A loud explosion resounded.
When he looked at the source of it, he sighed, realizing it happened where the first group who sent him away was fighting.
He glanced at the middle-aged woman standing beside him and said, "Before coming over, I had warned them to be careful. But they did not. Sigh, if only they hadn't been too greedy and allowed me to join, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
The woman narrowed her eyes at him and scoffed, "I doubt it."
Max shook his head. "Have you not heard of the saying, 'Never judge a mage by his cultivation level'?"
"Tsk! You are talking too big for a messy early-stage Four Star fledgling. Do you think you are like those two freaks, Kingslayers, able to fight demons way above your cultivation realm?" The woman said, "Now be on your way."
Suddenly, her expression changed, "Oh shit!"
