CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 152: THE WHOLE BODY IS SOFT, EXCEPT THE STUBBORN LIPS

Feng Ying and Sheng Linglong were both taken aback.

They couldn’t use Mana at the moment.

But these were their kin, weren’t they?

Were they supposed to just watch as their kin got killed?

Feng Ying gritted her teeth, ready to do something.

The next moment.

Her hand was forcefully held down.

Feng Ying couldn’t help but look at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian walked up calmly, then abruptly grabbed the wrist of the Demon Clan member.

The Human Cultivator fell heavily to the ground.

"Who are you?" The Demon Clan member squinted at Shi Nian: "A mere low-level demon, why do you stop me from disposing of these useless Cultivators?"

Shi Nian chuckled heh heh: "What have Cultivators got to do with me. I simply see you’ve got some strength, took a fancy to it, and want to spar with you."

Shi Nian looked very belligerent.

The Demon Clan member was momentarily stunned but didn’t suspect anything.

Most of the Demon Clan are combative, and such direct challenges were something he had encountered many times before.

The Demon Clan member sneered: "A low-level demon with quite some nerve. You should know, I am a mid-level demon, with talent and capability far surpassing yours, what right do you have to compete with me?"

Shi Nian became displeased: "So what if I am a low-level demon? Can’t a low-level demon have aspirations? What if I am the once-in-a-millennium genius among the low-level demons!"

Among the vast Demon Clan, it wasn’t that there were no examples of low-level demons turning the tables, but such cases were one in ten thousand.

Could this female demon be such a genius?

The Demon Clan member glanced at her, arrogantly: "If that is so, I’ll give you ten breaths of time, within those ten breaths, if you can touch me once, then I..."

The Demon Clan member hadn’t finished speaking.

Bang.

His face was struck fiercely by a punch.

The Demon Clan member was stunned, then spoke slowly: "Very well, you’ve successfully angered me. My name is Zha Xi, remember it well, next, I..."

Before he could finish.

Bang.

His chest was struck fiercely by a punch.

This time, Zha Xi staggered, taking a few steps back before collapsing onto the ground.

He looked at Shi Nian, completely feeble, but his mouth was still tough.

"Low-level demon! You only know how to sneak attack! Have the guts to face me in an upfront battle."

With a brow raised, Shi Nian said: "Fine, stand up."

"Commander Zha Xi, stand up and fight her," some of the surrounding demons, by nature combative, had already started to stir trouble.

"With this level of strength, you call yourself a Commander?" Shi Nian taunted, lifting her eyes: "I think, the position of Commander is better off with me taking a seat."

Shi Nian was showing considerable arrogance, exciting the demons around her even further.

Demons, as a group, always admire the strong.

So long as you’re strong enough, even arrogance is considered well deserved.

"Commander, fight her!"

"Don’t wimp out!"

Zha Xi’s face changed.

Although he said Shi Nian sneak-attacked, he felt the strength of those two punches.

This female demon was mostly a Body Refinement practitioner, and among those, she was a strong one.

Most likely... he was not a match.

But with so many demons watching, he could only brace himself to stand up: "Fight then, let’s fight!"

Shi Nian looked at him: "This time, I’ll allow you to make the first move."

Zha Xi narrowed his eyes, didn’t decline, and said straightforwardly: "I will need only one move, if you can withstand it, consider it my loss."

Shi Nian nodded indifferently.

With a deep breath, Zha Xi extended his hand, demonic Qi converging in his palm, and then it formed a massive black sphere. Pushing hard, the black sphere rushed toward her.

Shi Nian: "..."

This Demon Clan version of the Turtle Style Qi Gong???

She intended to casually block it.

But she somehow felt...

This thing doesn’t seem threatening at all.

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow and decided to stand still.

Black waves of light completely engulfed her.

"Here it comes! Zha Xi’s Black Hell! This female demon didn’t even try to dodge; she’s going to lose for sure!"

"In the whole Mei City, there are likely only a few who can withstand a move from Commander Zha Xi!"

The demons couldn’t help but start discussing.

Zha Xi was quite proud of this attack and looked smugly at Shi Nian enveloped in the dark Qi.

This female demon must have been scared stupid, right?

At this moment.

A cool voice came out from the black Qi.

"Commander? Just a commander, and that’s all you’ve got? You’re such a disappointment."

Zha Xi’s complexion changed at once.

The black Qi dissipated.

Shi Nian stood calmly in her spot, not a scratch on her body, not even her clothes were the slightest bit damaged.

Zha Xi’s pupils suddenly constricted.

How... how is this possible.

"Now it’s my turn."

Shi Nian smiled, sending a light punch his way.

Zha Xi hurriedly said, "Don’t, don’t, I surrender, I admit defeat ah..."

The next moment, as the fist reached him, he was still sent flying.

Zha Xi lay on the ground, his face numb.

He surrendered yet she still hit him, that’s against the martial code.

"I believe you’re not fit to be this Commander!" Shi Nian stepped forward, placing her foot on Zha Xi’s chest: "Do you have any objections?"

Zha Xi’s face changed slightly, he had objections, strong objections, but he dared not voice them.

Shi Nian looked at the other demons: "What about you? Do you have any?"

These demons not only had no objections, but instead gathered around enthusiastically.

"A low-ranking demon has managed to refine their body to such an extent. You must be a mutant demon. The City Lord will be very pleased to see you."

"The position of Commander is yours and no one else’s."

"Come on, let’s show you the way, the City Lord Mansion is just nearby."

The demons didn’t even glance at Zha Xi on the ground, busy surrounding Shi Nian instead.

This is how realistic the Demon Clan is.

Power is the highest respect, that is the only principle.

"Jasmine, Mo Xiang, you two take the Human Clan member and this Great Commander on the ground and follow me to see the City Lord." Shi Nian said proudly.

Jasmine...

Mo Xiang...

Such names...

Sheng Linglong felt slightly embarrassed to respond, but Feng Ying agreed at once, lifting the Human Clan member off the ground.

This Human Cultivator was at his last breath, about to pass out.

However, Feng Ying still held back her worry, maintaining a casual demeanor.

Zha Xi forced a bitter smile and got up by himself: "Since my skills are inferior to a demon’s, I have nothing to say. I will go with you to meet the City Lord."

A group of demons grandly escorted Shi Nian to the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord had already received an early report, hearing that a low-ranking demon had crushed one of his generals with just their Body Refinement strength, which piqued his interest.

The City Lord, in the main hall, received Shi Nian.

"City Lord." Shi Nian, neither servile nor overbearing: "I’ve just defeated your Commander, and I’ve come to offer myself to take his place."

The City Lord sized up Shi Nian and smiled slightly: "Indeed, a young talent. Come, step forward."

Shi Nian stepped forward.

The City Lord took out a pitch-black Elixir: "This is a Demon Spirit Pill, after consumption, it can increase Demonic Qi. I award it to you now; take it immediately, as I, the City Lord, will personally act as your protector."

Shi Nian narrowed her eyes.

Sheng Linglong and Feng Ying were anxious, but dared not show the slightest bit of it.

For a demon, consuming this Elixir is harmless, but for a member of the Human Clan, it could be disastrous.

This City Lord is very cautious; at this moment, he is clearly testing Shi Nian’s identity.
