The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

A moment later, Xiaohong returned with a group of attendants carrying wine and dishes.

Chen Dong had no time to deal with Xiaohong. He gave a casual order, ”Arrange for two who are skilled at playing. I want to hear some Immortal Music first!”

Xiaohong accepted the order and withdrew again.

Meanwhile, two women had already arrived in the next room. When Chen Dong sensed them, he realized they were from the Human Race. Furthermore, they had Golden Core cultivation bases. Judging by their auras, they had clearly formed impure Golden Cores. The Madam downstairs must have sensed the Demon Race member’s cultivation and, fearing that those with lower Realms wouldn’t be able to handle him, sent Golden Core Stage cultivators instead.

However, in Chen Dong’s experience, no one from the Human Race would willingly do this, not even those who specialized in dual cultivation techniques, let alone cultivators who had already reached the Golden Core.

A sharp pain stabbed at Chen Dong’s heart. ’It seems every world has its dark corners, especially here in the territory of the Demon Race.’

With a wave of his palm, the Demon Race member slammed the door shut and lunged toward the two women.

Chen Dong didn’t know what these two Human Race Female Cultivators had been through. Perhaps earning more Spirit Stones was a better option for them, but he couldn’t bear to watch what was about to happen.

’This is intolerable! I can’t take it anymore! So what if he’s a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Race member!’

A Silver Needle silently passed straight through the wall between the two private rooms, looped around, and shot toward the Demon Race member from the other side. At the same time, Chen Dong sent a telepathic message with a sharp cry, ”Qingzhu!”

Qingzhu and Chen Dong had long since reached a tacit understanding. In an instant, she concealed herself with the Void Sword Intent and pushed her Great Derivation Divine Sense to its limits.

Without hesitation, Chen Dong smashed directly through the wall, sending a Fire Phoenix straight at the Demon Race member.

The Silver Needle was merely a feint to make the Demon Race member think the attack was coming from the other direction; the real killing blow was the Fire Phoenix.

Just as the Silver Needle was about to strike, a surge of Demonic Qi froze it in mid-air. The Demon Race member truly didn’t have time to react to the Fire Phoenix that followed. The two private rooms were too close, and the attack was too sudden. The Fire Phoenix slammed into his body, instantly incinerating one of his arms.

Crying out in pain, the Demon Race member unleashed his demonic form. His body, now over ten feet tall, slammed into the ceiling.

Seeing his strike was effective, Chen Dong immediately retreated. He knew that a single Fire Phoenix was nowhere near enough to kill a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Race member. His primary goal was to enrage him and lure him away. There was more than one Demon Race member in Immortal Fox City, and if another one arrived, Chen Dong would surely be overwhelmed.

Smashing through the building’s outer wall, Chen Dong flew directly out of the city.

However, he had underestimated this Demon Race member’s power. In a flash of Demonic Qi, the demon appeared directly in front of him.

Chen Dong’s pupils constricted. ’He’s channeling law through his body, his techniques born from his will... This Demon Race member is at least at the Late-stage Nascent Soul!’

”A puny Demon Race member dares to ambush this king.”

Chen Dong was shocked again. ’This king? Could he be another one of the thirty-six Celestial Kings? Dammit!’

Chen Dong immediately took out a Teleportation Talisman and activated it without hesitation.

In a flash of light, Chen Dong appeared a hundred li away. He could have teleported much farther, but he chose not to. The more he understood about the Floating Shadow Realm, the more hatred and killing intent he felt toward the Demon Race.

This race could hardly be considered living beings. While all other creatures condensed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the Demon Race did not. They drew upon extraterritorial Demonic Qi to corrupt themselves. The higher a Demon Race member’s Realm, the more they became nothing but a remnant of evil will, capable only of sadism, slaughter, and destruction.

Chen Dong had only teleported a hundred li precisely so the Demon Race member could sense his location and give chase. ’So what if he’s one of the thirty-six Celestial Kings of the Demon Race? I will cut him down. Otherwise, my Dao Heart will never be at peace!’

Tens of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, hundreds of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, five Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and some other Spiritual Objects were quickly arranged by Chen Dong. All he had to do now was wait for the fish to take the bait.

”You run fast, kid!”

Chen Dong chuckled. ’He came, just as I expected.’ The rage from having his arm burned off was something this Demon Race member simply couldn’t stomach. Although a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Race member could quickly regenerate a lost limb, Chen Dong had successfully ignited his fury. As long as the demon thought he could hunt him down, he would surely pursue.

The Demon Race member charged toward Chen Dong without the slightest hesitation. In his eyes, Chen Dong was just a puny Golden Core Stage cultivator who could be crushed with a flip of his hand.

Chen Dong gave a cold smile. ”Heaven-Devouring Thunder Punishment Array!”

RUMBLE~! In an instant, endless thunderbolts connected heaven and earth. The night sky seemed to press down, and dozens of lightning bolts lashed toward the Demon Race member in a flash.

The Demonic Qi immediately dispersed, and he used his superior Realm to evade the thunderbolts.

A roar echoed from within the Demonic Qi. ”A Tier Four Killing Array! Who are you?!”

Chen Dong replied in a cold voice, ”You don’t need to know!”

The Demonic Qi suddenly converged, revealing the demon’s form. His burned-off arm had also returned to its original state.

”Did you think you could deal with this king with a single Array? You’re underestimating me!”

The thunder continued to roar as bolt after bolt struck at him, but he always managed to transform into Demonic Qi a step ahead, all while rapidly closing the distance to Chen Dong.

The man and the demon were now barely a hundred zhang apart.

The Demon Race member let out a furious roar, ”Ghost Demon Mocking Claw!”

A claw shadow that seemed capable of tearing the heavens asunder descended upon Chen Dong.

Chen Dong didn’t move an inch. He uttered a single phrase, ”Scattered Lotus Burning Fire Array!”

A massive Fire Lotus bloomed between the man and the demon, blocking the claw shadow. The Fire Lotus seemed to have countless petals, which spread out layer by layer in a display of extreme, dazzling beauty.

When the claw shadow struck the Fire Lotus, it was instantly set ablaze. Then, every single petal transformed into a heavenly curtain of fire that swept down to cover the Demon Race member.

The Demon Race member was suddenly alarmed. ’Another Tier Four Array!’

But his expression didn’t change. Instead, he burst out laughing. ”Hahaha! These tricks are useless against me!” With another furious roar, he shouted, ”Brown Earth Giant Demon!”
