Chapter 1392: The Lingering Might Subdues Demons
"Humans are such a cowardly and weak race, running away the moment they see us. Truly pathetic."
Jin Ming of the Golden-eyed Thunder Falcon clan looked at Chen Nan and the Divine Calculator fleeing ahead, a bloodthirsty, savage smile curling at his lips.
The other three members of the Demon Clan were also strong figures from the Golden-eyed Thunder Falcon clan. They had golden wings and human-like appearances, with pupils a fiery gold color, like molten lava.
However, they had sharp beaks like birds, making them appear very aggressive.
The Golden-eyed Thunder Falcon clan is considered a large tribe among the Demon Clan, with many members, and like most of the Demon Clan, they see humans as mere blood food, placing themselves on a lofty pedestal.
Thus, seeing Chen Nan and the Divine Calculator flee, their hearts were full of mockery, even wanting to toy with them before letting them die in despair.
"Run, make sure to run as fast as you can, or you'll be sorry!"
Jin Ming flew high in the sky, his mocking voice carrying far, but soon his smile began to fade.
Because those two humans actually stopped and faced them.
"Hmph, do they still want to struggle? Truly overestimating themselves. Jin Sheng, Jin Tai, Jin Ning, later we'll share these two blood meals!"
The other three Golden-eyed Thunder Falcons laughed excitedly at his words.
Since their Demon Clan's influence in the Endless Sea East Domain was not as strong as the Human Clan's, they had to sneak around even to eat a human, and it might take a long time to find one to satisfy their craving.
So even if there were only two to share, they were quite happy.
"Brother Jin Ming, that fat one is for you. So plump, he must be delicious," Jin Ning said, laughing as he pointed at the Divine Calculator.
At these words, the Divine Calculator immediately panicked: "Nonsense! Daoist really isn't tasty at all."
Chen Nan rolled his eyes, feeling very exasperated: "Is it really the time to discuss whether you're tasty or not?"
"Let's just follow the plan. You distract the three, and I'll deal with Jin Ming. I'll come back to help you later."
He stared at Jin Ming high in the sky, whose cultivation was at the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection, considered a young prodigy among the Demon Clan. His target was Jin Ming.
The remaining three Golden-eyed Thunder Falcons had cultivation only around the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer, so he had the Divine Calculator distract them for his own good.
The Divine Calculator waved his hands: "No, no, Daoist isn't good at fighting. What if they kill me?"
Chen Nan clenched his fists in anger: "How about you deal with Jin Ming, then?"
Seeing Jin Ming's cultivation at Golden Core Realm Great Perfection, the Divine Calculator shook his head vehemently like a rattle-drum: "Forget it, forget it. Daoist's cultivation is profound; I should be able to hold on for a while. Junior brother, you must remember to come save Daoist!" π»π³β―β―π€β―π·π―β΄πβ―π.πβ΄π
Chen Nan didn't believe a word he said. Even if this fat guy wasn't a true Nascent Soul Realm expert, he surely had some hidden cards. He was just pretending to be pitiful.
Paying him no mind, Chen Nan flew straight to face Jin Ming, pointed and shouted: "Are you a prodigy of the Demon Clan? Dare to fight me?"
Jin Ming listened and immediately laughed, sensing carefully again and finding that this human was only at the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer. Where did he get the courage to challenge him?
"Hehe, it seems you're quite brave! In that case, I'll just beat you to death, punch by punch!"
He waved his hand, and three of his kin rushed towards the Divine Calculator.
At this moment, the Divine Calculator panicked but soon released the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm, his eyes cold, and the Daoist robe flapping loudly around him.
"If you don't want to die, obediently watch Daoist!"
Admittedly, the Divine Calculator indeed looked like a Nascent Soul True Man now, as that aura couldn't be faked.
The three Golden-eyed Thunder Falcons rushing at him were so stunned that their pupils trembled. They quickly stopped, looking ahead uncertainly, afraid to approach. After all, it was terrifying; the fat man actually became a Nascent Soul True Man, practically a nightmare.
Even Jin Ming was momentarily dazed. Then his confident expression gradually cracked, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. What he thought was a simple task of eliminating two lone human cultivators turned out to be hitting an iron plate.
"Uh... Are we too late to leave now?"
Chen Nan glanced back at the Divine Calculator, giving a signal. He knew very well that if they let Jin Ming and the others go now, they'd be admitting their facade and were easily overwhelmed.
However, whether intentionally or not, the Divine Calculator agreed directly: "All right, you can leave. Daoist doesn't want to commit slaughter, consider it your luck."
Though he acted confident, Jin Ming started to doubt.
Were they really letting them off so easily?
Still, he clasped his hands with gratitude and said: "Thank you, senior. We shall leave immediately!"
The four of the Demon Clan left without looking back, and the Divine Calculator, looking quite smug, winked at Chen Nan: "How about that? Wasn't Daoist impressive? Chased them off without breaking a sweat!"
Chen Nan raised his palm in rejection: "Stay away from me, I'm afraid your foolishness might be contagious."
He didn't elaborate, just turned and continued fleeing. That fool of a Divine Calculator exposed everything, and those four Demons would soon realize it.
"Hey, junior brother, wait for me! Shouldn't we hurry and catch up? Why are we still running?" The Divine Calculator hurriedly chased after him.
From afar, as Jin Ming fled, he furrowed his brows deeply, turning to his companions: "If you found two isolated members of the Demon Clan with absolute power, would you let them go?"
Jin Sheng chuckled: "Boss, how's that possible? Even without grudges, we wouldn't let them leave."
"Yeah, so why did they let us go? Unless..." A flash of insight crossed Jin Ming's eyes: "Unless they're strong on the outside but weak inside!"
Jin Tai was stunned: "Boss, you mean those two humans were bluffing us? But that Nascent Soul aura was genuine."
"Humans love those deceptive magics. Let's go back!"
A sense of being played with ignited Jin Ming's fury, leading him to turn back without hesitation. The remaining three Great Demons hesitated a bit.
"What if that fat one really is a Nascent Soul?"
Jin Ming snorted coldly: "If he is, we'll flee, no harm in checking it out!"
The other three didn't dare oppose him, reluctantly following.
Behind Chen Nan, the Divine Calculator continued boasting about his great feats, as if he alone could repel tens of thousands of Demon soldiers.
But soon, Chen Nan's face abruptly changed.
"They're coming!"
The Divine Calculator, puzzled, turned his head to see the four Great Demons, led by Jin Ming, trailing from a distance, neither coming closer nor leaving.
He panicked instantly: "Oh no, we've been found out!"
