Chapter 0148 – If I Thought I Was Going to Die – Absolute Returns

I took a deep breath and tried to calm the emotions that were churning inside me.

With a strong enemy at hand, I must discard distracting thoughts and focus all my attention on the battle at hand. I believe in the strength of the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, and the only thing I need to be wary of is Liang Mangi, who may sneak up on me at any time.

Monster devil hands wearing a pair of strange shaped sharp claws, claw blade cold light flashes, gruesome, it is his unique weapon – Skyfall flying claws.

“I hope your swordsmanship is half as powerful as your mouth!”

Before the words fell, the strange demon had already attacked.

“Ka! Ka! Click!”

Accompanied by a strange air-breaking sound, the sky-falling flying claws tore through the air and pushed straight to my face. This claw blade is incomparably sharp, even if it just lightly grazes over, I’m afraid that my skin will be split open, and even my tendons and bones will be broken.

I executed Shadow Steps, dodging the attacks while waiting for a chance to counterattack.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

My longsword and the Monstrous Demon’s Skyfall Flying Claws kept clashing, emitting gusts of gold and iron. I tried to distance myself from him as much as possible, while he tried to tangle with me in close quarters. After all, the attack range of the Skyfall Flying Claw was limited, and the closer the distance, the more advantageous he would be.

Right in the middle of this fierce battle between life and death, I suddenly entered a marvelous realm.

Just like when I fought with the White Python Flag, the only thing left in my eyes was the Monstrous Demon alone.

Everything around me seemed to stand still, only the movements and breathing of the strange demons and I were clearly audible. Time seemed to slow down as well, but I knew that it was just an illusion created by my intense concentration.

“Uh!”

A muffled grunt broke the silence.

I immediately realized that the one who was injured was extremely evil and wicked.

“Instantaneous!”

I instinctively executed Instantaneous Steps, and in the blink of an eye, I appeared behind the Iron Locker, and stabbed out straight with the longsword in my hand.

“Shoo!”

The chain that was about to hit the Extremely Evil Evil Demon suddenly turned and came whistling towards me.

“Clang!”

My longsword collided with the chain with a deafening thud, and the immense force shook my tiger’s mouth so much that my longsword nearly came out of my hand.

“Boom!”

I sidestepped the Monster Demon’s powerful strike, and the Skyfall Flying Claw practically slashed against my body, leaving a deep bloodstain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Extremely Evil Evil Demon struck a blood-colored finger wind towards the Monstrous Demon.

“Shoo!”

Odd Devil’s body shifted and he managed to dodge it.

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon and I seized the opportunity to rise up in the air at the same time, pulling away from the two. If I hadn’t made a timely move, I’m afraid that the Extremely Evil Evil Demon would have been seriously injured. It seems that I had underestimated the Iron Locker’s strength before.

After a short exchange of blows, Liang Mangi let out a loud, complacent laugh, as if he was winning. The Odd Devil and the Iron Locker, too, both looked like they were at ease.

I asked tentatively as I adjusted my breathing:

“You’re the President of the Order of Heaven?”

I wanted to get more information out of him while he was getting carried away.

“I’m not the President of the Order of Heaven.”

“So you’re the Lord of the Valley of Evil?”

“I’m not the Lord of the Valley of Evil either.”

“The Strange Demon and the Iron Locker, both top experts of the Evil Valley, how on earth did you convince them to work for you?”

Liang Mangi didn’t answer my question, so I immediately changed the topic.

“So, it was the President of the Heavenly Fate Society who convinced the Evil Valley Master, and you, just a pawn in their hands?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Mangi’s eyes, and this subtle change in expression made me more certain of my suspicions. It seems that I had underestimated the power of the Heavenly Fate Society before.

I had always thought before that the Heaven’s Destiny Society was just an ordinary assassin organization, but I never thought that their power had infiltrated to such an extent.

Previously, I thought that as long as the mission failed, everything would be over. After all, the prohibition on the Extremely Evil Evil Demon had not been lifted, and it was impossible for something like today to happen.

But one thing was certain, given the way the Heavenly Fate Society was acting today, they must have done a lot of things in secret back then as well.

Before exchanging blows again, I looked at the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, and he silently nodded, signaling that there was no need for me to worry.

The battle was fought again.

The Skyfall Flying Claws cut through the sky, emitting a piercing shrill; the iron chain in the Iron Locker’s hand, as if it were a spiritual snake, nimbly attacked us.

“Snort!”

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon’s arms and waist were slashed with bloody marks by the Skyfall Flying Claws;and the Iron Locker was struck by the blood-colored finger wind on his forehead.

“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”

Sword qi was spreading, finger winds were whistling, chains were flipping, claw shadows were heavy, and all kinds of moves were coming out in a dizzying manner.

I and the extremely evil evil demon with tacit understanding, although only the second time to join hands against the enemy, but as if it is a partner who has been practicing for many years in general, the moves are smooth, without any flaws. I don’t know why, fighting side by side with the extremely evil evil, I always have a kind of inexplicable peace of mind in my heart, and the moves are also more comfortable.

“Ah!”

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon once again let out a cry of pain as his body staggered back, nearly falling to the ground.

“Wow!”

The chains swept towards the Extremely Evil Evil Demon with a sound of breaking air.

I dodged in front of the Extremely Evil Evil Demon and received the blow hard with my body.

“Clang!”

I ran my body protection qi and managed to block it, but the huge impact still shook me to the point that my qi and blood were churning and my shoulder was in severe pain.

“Boom! Boom!”

There were two more loud bangs as the chains struck me one after the other.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

I relied on my body protection true qi to defuse the attacks one by one, but the true qi in my body, too, was depleting at a rapid rate.

Liang Mangi looked at me with surprise in his eyes.

“At such a young age, to be able to utilize such a powerful body protection true qi, it’s truly a fearful future generation!”

However, this is exactly what the extremely evil evil and I did on purpose.

“Evil Demon Senior Brother, endure a little longer!”

I secretly transmitted my voice to the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, so that he would deliberately reveal his cracks.

I turned my back to the strange demon and the iron locker, and at an angle they couldn’t see, in front of me, two sword qi were slowly coalescing.

The seventh style of the Sheltering Sky Sword Technique – “Swimming Sky Style”!

I didn’t divide my sword qi too much and only condensed two so that I wouldn’t be discovered by them.

“Shoo! Shoo!”

The two sword qi were like arrows off the string, shooting towards the strange demon and the iron locker like lightning.

“Pfft!”

One of the sword qi struck the strange demon squarely in the shoulder.

“Clang!”

The other sword qi chopped off the chains of the Iron Locker.

“Shit!”

The Monstrous Demon covered his injured shoulder and roared in anger. If he hadn’t reacted in time, I’m afraid that he would have already had his throat sealed with a sword.

The Iron Locker dropped the broken chain and held the remaining half in his hand.

“Damn it!”

The hearts of the Extremely Evil Evil Demon and I sank at the same time, although this move worked, it didn’t completely finish them off. However, it was better than nothing, and at least it heavily wounded the Monstrous Demon and destroyed the Iron Locker’s weapon.

I reached out to help the Extremely Evil Evil Demon up, and his gaze, even more burning than before. This battle ignited the wariness in our hearts.

The Monstrous Demon and the Iron Locker, apparently, also changed their strategy and began to fight a war of attrition with us. They are confident that their internal strength is profound and want to wear us out alive. What’s more, the Odd Devil was seriously injured and the Iron Locker had lost his weapon, so he naturally had to be more cautious and careful.

In this way, the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, whose true qi was greatly depleted, bore the brunt of it.

Just as the Extremely Evil Evil Demon’s true qi was about to run out and his movements began to become sluggish.

“Swish!”

The Extremely Evil Evil Demon looked at me in surprise, we were already in the middle of an unfamiliar space.

“This is the space of ‘Time Shift’.”

“You even know the ‘Time Shift Technique’!”
