Chapter 29 - -29-

Commander Jiang Kang Hua turned his head, but he didn't find the king anywhere. Making him spread his eyes and investigate one by one, is it true that the king is in one of the crowds of humans.

Yes, he knew, if the king was now recovered, he could recognize the scent of the king's body, which any power and magic could never cover.

Warlord Jiang Kang Hua's jaw hardened, then he pulled his horse back to walk away.

While Chen Liao Xuan was already trying to sneak away from the people who were there, his hand was still holding the fan covering his face, and the other hand tightly gripped Angier's hand.

After they reached the outskirts of Han city and encountered the forests, Chen Liao Xuan stopped his running. Angier gasped, as did Yang Si Qi, trying to keep up with Chen Liao Xuan's fast pace.

"What's wrong with you Mister Chen? Why are you running so fast? Are you afraid of Emo Shao Ye?" asked Yang Si Qi. Even Chen Liao Xuan did not answer the question.

"Only a madman is not afraid of Emo Shao Ye, Si Qi. Then stop boasting, and we must return to Physician Jung's house," repeated Angier.

"I'm not bragging, who really doesn't know Emo Shao Ye? The cruelest Demon Lord is said to be crueler than the previous Demon Lord. Even now, he's causing riots in the human realm. He took slaves from our realm to she was made a slave and worked without mercy. Even now, it is said that every full moon, Emo Shao Ye asks his soldiers to look for a girl who belongs to our nation, to bring into his realm. And you know what Emo Shao Ye will do with the soldiers. that girl?"

"What?" asked Angier at last.

"He will be made into a lustful indulgence by Emo Shao Ye, and when he is bored, he will throw the girls at his followers. Take turns in front of many people while they perform his evil rituals,"

"Where did you get that bad news?" Chen Liao Xuan chirped in the end.

His pride felt tarnished as a Demon Lord. Sometimes, the human race said he took the girls from the human race to lust. Even during this time, Chen Liao Xuan had never had sex with any human other than… Angier.

Chen Liao Xuan's jaw hardened while shaking his long robes. He was about to walk away. But then, there were troops dressed in black with black masks covering their faces. They flew to then descended and surrounded Chen Liao Xuan with the two girls.

"Stop you guys! Hand over the things you have!" shouted the crowd. Chen Liao Xuan finally realized who these people were. Yes, they are rogues who want to get stolen goods by robbing and killing their prey.

Chen Liao Xuan immediately got into a stance, and he retreated near Angier and Yang Si Qi. Then he opened the fan again, which he used to cover his face partially. His eyes continued to scrutinize the people around him, then he appeared to be grinning, and his eyes turned red.

"Do any of you have any martial arts?" Chen Liao Xuan asked. He didn't want to take the risk. If he took out his power, he was afraid that his form would completely change and frighten Angier.

"Miss Liu has a fairly high level of martial arts. She was always taught by her father to be able to protect herself from harm," Yang Si Qi replied.

"Then you?" Chen Liao Xuan asked again. Yang Si Qi couldn't help but smile faintly then she scratched her head which was suddenly itching.

"Of course not, are you kidding Mr. Chen? I am—"

"Useless,"

After Chen Liao Xuan pushed Yang Si Qi's body to the side, he defended each other together with Angier. He immediately gave Yang Si Qi a circle of protection so that not a single rogue could get close to Yang Si Qi.

"You fight two, the rest I'll do," Chen Liao Xuan ordered.

"But…," Angier paused. How was she supposed to attack two if the rogues here were more than ten people? With long swords that are very terrible. While she was with Chen Liao Xuan, the two of them brought nothing! "But, can you handle the rest of the lot, Master Chen?" she asked then.

Chen Liao Xuan smirked, his eyes now turning red. Then he glanced back at Angier. "Don't underestimate me, Miss Liu," he hissed.

He flew straight away, then kicked the rogues in the head from above. While opening his fan, which covered half of his face, and his other hand folded back. Chen Liao Xuan descended with an extraordinarily graceful and manly aura.

He then played with the fan he had brought with him to hit his enemies, quickly and swiftly, to overwhelm the rogues.

The rogues retreated due to Chen Liao Xuan's repeated attacks, and then they exchanged glances.

"Looks like we got the wrong target! The people we attacked weren't random people!" said one of the robbers.

Then, one of them slipped, he joined his two other comrades to attack Angier. Angier, who was focused on the two rogues, didn't even notice that another rogue was behind her. The rogue took a dagger from under his cloak, and he drew closer to Angier then….

Jeep!!!

Angier's eyes went wide, and she almost fell over from a stab from behind that injured her. She then held her waist, and fresh blood came out very clearly.

Chen Liao Xuan saw the incident somewhat shocked. Who could no longer control his emotions and strength? His body gave off a jet black aura, his hair that was initially neatly now flowed perfectly. His eyes flashed bloodshot, then as quickly as lightning, he was in front of the rogues who injured Angier. With bubbling emotions, Chen Liao Xuan strangled the person's neck. His long nails started to grow, and then….

Jeep!!!

Who completely severed the veins in the rogue's neck as Chen Liao Xuan gripped him with those long nails. Then he threw the convulsing body everywhere. Chen Liao Xuan seemed to have closed her eyes. Until the claws on his hands disappeared again, his fangs disappeared, and his eyes turned black again.

While Yang Si Qi was wide-eyed in shock, she immediately shut his mouth tightly. She seemed to know that terrible figure. But where? Yang Si Qi had forgotten entirely. For then, the memories of her past together with Angier in the peach forest returned. Reminiscent of a sad, dark event. Yang Si Qi had tears in her eyes. With a trembling voice, she muttered, "Emo Shao Ye…."
