Chapter 654: Chapter 647 Escape

At the exact moment when Fierce Blade Hongming’s blade penetrated the Mongolian Skin Grassman, Demon King Chili, who had just returned to the grand hall in the ruins, felt an itch in his left eye, but in an instant, he had regained normalcy.

“What’s going on here? Did the wind blow some dust into my eye?”

Shaking his head, the brows of Demon King Chili furrowed.

Next, he half-closed his eyes, and through internal vision, he scanned his body several times.

Assured that there was nothing abnormal with his body, he could only come up with this explanation to barely justify everything that happened.

With Demon King Chili stationed there and under the leadership of those few Earth-level demon beasts under his command, the demon beasts swept through the area.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

“Damn it, what kind of curse is this? It could strip all my senses away in an instant…”

Eventually, Demon King Chili started to feel something wrong with his body, the eerily bizarre power of the curse suddenly appeared within the seven orifices of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and with the swiftness of lightning, it spread throughout his body.

In that instant, he felt like a living dead man, losing all hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch.

Having spent nearly a two-hour time and almost all his strength, he had just managed to temporarily suppress that most bizarre curse power.

Barely standing, he had just slightly moved when he felt that the curse power he had just suppressed seemed to be stirring again, as if it wanted to strip his five senses once more.

“Within the Cang Mountain Territory, that Earth Immortal Zi Feng and other strong beings have always been hiding, not showing themselves. This strange curse I’m afflicted with must be related to them.”

“These human beings, despicable and shameless, dare not confront me openly, only dare to use schemes and plots in secret.”

“F*ck, they’ve even used such a vicious method as a curse on me!”

…

The entire person broke out in a cold sweat, Demon King Chili cursed repeatedly and didn’t dare to get up and move about; he quickly sat back down cross-legged in his original place.

“Lord Demon King, big trouble, in Yellow Sand City, a Human Heavenly Immortal has appeared out of nowhere.”

“Lord Houdong, who was attacking the city, was careless for a moment and was slain with one strike by that Human Heavenly Immortal, both body and spirit utterly destroyed.”

“I beg Lord Demon King to personally take action and stand up for us!”

The great doors of the hall in the ruins were wide open.

A True Level member of the Demon Clan, covered in blood, rushed into the hall and upon seeing Demon King Chili sitting cross-legged, he quickly knelt down and reported.

“Is there actually a Human Heavenly Immortal hiding within this Cang Mountain Territory?”

“On one hand, they curse me in secret, and on the other hand, they strike and slaughter our demon children, these human beings, still so treacherous.”

“Once I completely clear this curse from my body, if I don’t eradicate all the humans in this Cang Mountain Territory, I won’t consider myself a Demon.”

…

Grinding his teeth, Demon King Chili secretly swore.

The True Level demon beast who had rushed to the hall to report repeatedly kowtowed, his forehead already bloody, pleading for Demon King Chili to personally take action.

Yet Demon King Chili did not utter a word, giving no response at all.

He obviously knew his own condition very well.

He had just suppressed that bizarre curse power, and even slight movements caused the curse to stir as if it was about to flare up again.

In his current condition, to fight a Human Heavenly Immortal of the same level? How different was that from courting death?

“Report!”

“Lord Demon King, in Black Fire City, Earth Immortal Zi Feng and several Human Earth Immortals have suddenly appeared.”

“Third Master Hu is trapped and in grave danger, please, Demon King, lend your aid…”

“Report, Lord Blood Wolf is being besieged by a few human Earth Immortals, Demon King, please provide assistance!”

…

In less than the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, several groups of Demon Clan members had entered the hall, all in panic and with anxious expressions.

The news they brought was all bad.

To force out the hidden humans within the Cang Mountain Territory, Demon King Chili’s subordinates, the Earth-level demon beasts, had already divided their forces, attempting to breach as many cities and slaughter as many humans as possible.

In their eyes, breaking through eight or ten cities, and the death of hundreds of thousands of humans at the hands of their Demon Clan, should break the human resistance and force the human powerhouses to reveal themselves.

But as humans, their endurance inevitably had limits!

If the entire Cang Mountain Territory fell into their hands, they didn’t believe that the human powerhouses could remain hidden!

Now, the always hidden human powerhouses had finally emerged, but at Demon King Chili’s end…

“I am aware of this matter. Those human clowns can hardly stir up any significant trouble,” Chili responded.

“No need to worry, I have a plan in mind.”

“You few, withdraw for now!”

Though he was panicking inside, Demon King Chili dared not show a trace of it.

After all, within the Demon Clan of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he was like a stabilizer.

A few Earth-level demon beasts had run into trouble and Demon King Chili had been cursed, rendering him immobile. If the lower-ranked demon beasts knew about this, it would undoubtedly cause massive disruption in their ranks.

At that time, the undisciplined Demon Clan would likely scatter like birds and animals, escaping back to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Hearing Demon King Chili’s words, the True Level demon beasts in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Demon King Chili wanted them to leave, naturally no one objected. They bowed to him and then all dispersed.

Watching the demon beasts leave the hall, Demon King Chili cursed inwardly the ancestors of the person who had cursed him.

“The one who cursed me must be from the Cang Mountain Territory; they must know about my current situation.”

“This is bad. Those crafty humans, after dealing with my subordinates, will definitely come here to besiege me.”

“Given my current condition, if I were to confront them…”

“Escape! I need to flee back to the Ten Thousand Mountains before they arrive here!”

Realizing this, a shiver ran through him.

Making a grand escape was definitely not an option; those cunning humans would surely pursue him immediately.

Given his current condition, he couldn’t possibly move fast even if he tried.

“Escaping alone makes me a smaller target.”

“By forcibly suppressing the curse’s power, I’ll use as little energy as possible; at most, I’ll just be a bit slower.”

“I must not alarm the remaining demon beasts here and let them discover my escape. With them around, they should be able to hold off the humans for a while, buying me time to make a successful escape.”

“Their deaths are preferable to my own, losing some troops is just a minor loss. Once I get back to the Ten Thousand Mountains, I can easily replenish them.”

“Yes, that’s what I’ll do!”

With determination in his heart, Demon King Chili clenched his teeth, and in a few moments, he had made up his mind.

The next moment, his body flickered, and his former upper human and lower snake form transformed into a small black snake.

Carefully, he slithered out of the hall. Taking advantage of the lack of attention, he vanished into the ruins among the broken bricks and tiles, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
