Chapter 0108 – If you lose, you have to do what you don’t want to do – Absolute Returns

We let the horses graze at the bottom of the hill while we sat and rested on the hillside.

The breeze ruffled my hair, but the wind was still howling furiously in the heart of the supremely evil evil demon.

“How did you kill the Soul Regenerating Demon?” He suddenly asked, a hint of curiosity in his tone.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I thought you said I was hypocritical. I see you’re no worse than me.”

“Don’t you want to show off? Being as young as you are, if it were me, I would have long hated to let the whole world know that I killed the Soul Regenerating Demon, and made all those who looked down on me kneel in front of me!” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon said, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

“Although I like to brag, I’m not so strong as to take credit for someone else’s work and claim it for myself.” I shook my head and said, “That’s right, I’m strong, strong enough to make you suspect that I killed the Soul Regent Demon. But I really didn’t kill him.”

I still maintain my denial.

I know that I should never expose my weaknesses to someone like the Extremely Evil Evil Demon.

“Alright, since you refuse to admit it, then fight me.” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon said.

I had guessed he would say that.

He witnessed my strength with his own eyes, and his heart must be filled with wariness.

The blood of those assassins had awakened the beast in his heart, so that he could no longer suppress his desire.

“I refuse.” I refused without hesitation.

“Why?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon asked, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

“We have more important things to do right now, and infighting will only get us both killed.”

“We can dot the i’s and cross the t’s.”

“It’s hard to control your emotions when you’re fighting.”

“I can control it.”

“I can’t control it.” I said, “If I really do have the strength to kill the Soul Regenerating Demon Lord like you saw, can you guarantee that you’ll still be able to control me when I lose my mind?”

“The more you say that, the more I want to fight you.” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon’s tone was full of provocation.

I knew that the anger in his heart was on the verge of being suppressed.

In order to prevent him from doing something impulsive, I had to find a way to let him vent.

“Okay, I promise.” I said.

“Really?” A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Extremely Evil Evil Demon.

“But I have one condition.”

“On what terms?”

“A lot of assassins have already died today, and they shouldn’t be attacking again anytime soon.” I said, “It’s too much of a waste of time for us to fight now.”

“You have another reason?”

“Because, if I win, I lose, and if I lose, I lose.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“If I win, you’ll want to kill me. If I lose, you’ll lose interest in me.”

“What does it matter if I’m interested in you or not?”

“I have only one purpose, and that is to make you my ally.” I said, “As long as you’re on my side, I can disregard all other Demon Elders.”

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon sneered.

“You think I’m going to believe your bullshit? You’re just trying to use me and then cross the river.”

“Can’t you see? I’ve been trying to please you.”

“That’s your trick.”

“Okay, I admit, I did try to use you.” I said, “But my purpose is for the Demon Sect and for myself. Don’t you want to become the sect leader of the Demon Sect?”

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon was silent.

“I won’t be in your shoes.” He finally refused.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because, the devil sect you want to establish is not the devil sect I want.” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon said, “So, you don’t need to act in front of me anymore, those flowery words of yours have no effect on me.”

“I’ll keep trying.” I said.

“Why?”

“Because, I have nothing to lose.”

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon laughed.

“I like your reasons.” He said, “If you say that you do it because you admire me, or respect me, I would rather question your motives.”

If only he could have kept that sanity.

Unfortunately, it’s just his disguise.

“Let’s just fight, we can never be friends anyway.” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon said.

I know that all those places he takes me to are not his real world.

I know his real world.

It was a world of madness and killing, a world that only showed itself when he lost his mind.

Right now, he’s just barely restraining himself because he’s curious about me.

He wasn’t one to actively challenge others, he would only kill those who stood in his way.

“Okay, let’s fight.” I said.

“What?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon froze for a moment, clearly not expecting me to agree so readily.

“Let’s fight now!” He said excitedly.

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon laughed out loud, his laughter filled with excitement and anticipation.

“Lord Evil.” I said.

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you see that tree?” I said, pointing to a large tree in the distance.

“See.”

“Let’s compete in light kung fu first.”

“Good.”

A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the Extremely Evil Evil Demon.

He was confident in his lightness, which was why he agreed so readily.

“If I win, you promise me one condition.” I said.

“On what terms?”

“Have a drink with me tonight.” I said, “You don’t have to take off your mask, you can drink like this.”

I said, making a motion to lift my mask and drink.

“Sword Duke ……,” said the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, looking at me, “you are really a madman.”

I laughed out loud.

When you deal with crazy people, you have to deal with crazy people.

“Alright, I promise you.” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon said.

“Let’s get started then.”

We stood side by side, ready to start the race.

“Who have you competed with before in terms of lightness?” Extremely Evil Evil Demon asked.

“And you.”

“With me?” The Extremely Evil Evil Demon froze for a moment, “When?”

“A long time ago.” I said, “An old friend of mine.”

“Where do you get old friends when you’re so young?”

“He’s a badass.”

“I should like him.”

“Maybe, or maybe you’ll hate him because he’s so much like you.”

The Ultimate Evil Demon looked at me suspiciously.

“Can I run first?” He asked.

“Sure.”

“Then I’m off!”

After the Extremely Evil Evil Demon finished speaking, he transformed into a black shadow and rushed towards the large tree in the distance.
