I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 871

Chapter 871: 454

“`

An old man dressed in a green robe appeared before Su Nan and Elder Zhu. Unlike the Heavenly Race, which boasted obvious wings, this presumed Divine Race being was indistinguishable from the Human clan.

At least this one seemed to be so.

“May I ask who Your Excellency is, and why you have emerged from the Land of the Lost?”

Elder Zhu looked at the other party, and even though he knew there was a high chance they were not from his own Human clan, he still attempted to negotiate, as foretold.

“A Human Saint Level? Or have you just ascended to Saint Level?” Upon seeing Elder Zhu, the old man in the green robe discerned Elder Zhu’s true strength at a glance, revealing a trace of surprise in his eyes.

“It is none of your concern who I am. If you do not wish to see your Human clan annihilated, leave at once,” the green-robed old man said calmly, yet his voice was filled with threat.

Hearing this, Elder Zhu’s expression darkened again, but considering the current situation of the Human clan, he clearly didn’t want to make unnecessary enemies and sought to continue negotiating with the green-robed old man,

With foreknowledge, Su Nan knew Elder Zhu’s purpose, so he listened quietly without any intention to interrupt.

A moment later, as expected, the two did not come to an agreement.

It was unclear whether the green-robed old man was confident in his own strength, or whether he was aware of the current predicament of the Human clan, but he showed no concern for Elder Zhu.

Without paying any further attention to Elder Zhu, the green-robed old man began to bombard the entry to the Land of the Lost, aiming to completely shatter the entrance.

Now, Elder Zhu could no longer remain seated. Although he did not know the other’s purposes, he very well understood that the Land of the Lost was a barrier. If the enemy truly managed to break through the entrance, then the people from the other world would have unhindered access to Dongchen State.

This was absolutely unacceptable.

Elder Zhu made his move, and a battle between two Saint Level experts was imminent.

The terrifying energy roiled around them. At this moment, all players within Silver Frost County felt as if they were being crushed by an overwhelming force, struggling to breathe.

“What’s going on?”

“Look! Someone’s fighting over there.”

“Hiss! It’s that Saint Level expert from the Great Yu Dynasty!”

Players not far from the Land of the Lost all gazed up into the sky, shocked when they recognized one of the combatants as Elder Zhu from the Great Yu Dynasty.

Many wanted to get closer to see exactly what was happening, but the terrifying aura of the two combatants made them stop in their tracks.

This was Su Nan’s first time witnessing a battle between Saint Level experts, so he had retreated to a safe place early on, just to be cautious.

Ignoring the battle between the two powerhouses, he checked his task for today.

Because of the appearance of this presumed Divine Race Saint Level expert, naturally, Zhang Yang had refreshed a related Daily Task.

[Task Three: Assist Elder Zhu in slaying the Divine Race Saint Level expert]

Task Difficulty: four-star

Task Reward: 75 demon power points

“So it really is the Divine Race!”

Even though he had suspected it, his heart sank at the sight of the task.

If the other party was really from the Divine Race, then it meant that the Divine Race had a way to enter the Demon World through that passage in the Land of the Lost!

If the Divine Race experts could, then there was no reason the Heavenly Race experts couldn’t!

“If both the Divine Race and Heavenly Race come through that passage, then we will have serious trouble,” Su Nan said, his expression grim.

He had thought that by preventing the opening of the Spatial Channel in the Divine Heavenly Realm, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Heavenly Race arriving for a while.

Unexpectedly, even without the Spatial Channel from the Divine Heavenly Realm, there was still a passage connecting to the Demon World.

“Luckily, from what the foreknowledge shows, that passage is not easy to traverse, and perhaps requires a great sacrifice; otherwise, they would have come through it already,” he surmised.

His gaze turned to the green-robed old man locked in combat with Elder Zhu. A decisive look flashed in Su Nan’s eyes. He then glanced at the flickering foreknowledge information on his panel and formed a plan.

The battle didn’t last long, only several breaths, before the Divine Race’s green-robed old man began to falter, catching a glimpse of Elder Zhu’s true might and his expression changing again and again.

“Qi Luck! You actually have the blessing of Qi Luck!”

“I seem to have overlooked this detail,” the green-robed old man realized the issue, regret flashing in his eyes as he finally recognized that he had been reckless.

Yet even so, he didn’t show a trace of fear.

After another brief clash, the green-robed old man carelessly received a blow from Elder Zhu.

“Hmph! I might have made a poor move this time, but next time the victor may not be so certain!”

The green-robed old man’s complexion was unsightly. Although he too was at the early stage of the Saint Level and had been so for hundreds of years, he never expected to be defeated by a junior who had just entered the Saint Level.

Upon hearing this, Su Nan knew exactly what the other intended to do and immediately shouted to Elder Zhu, “Senior, he’s trying to escape! You must not let him retreat back into the Land of the Lost. If he manages to get back there, it will bring great trouble to our Human clan!”

“There is another Saint Level expert within the Land of the Lost. If you let him retreat, the next time both Saint Level experts emerge, you might not be able to stop them!”

Killing two Saint Level experts in one go was extremely difficult, but by defeating them one at a time, there was a better chance of achieving the goal.

Although Elder Zhu was engaged with the opponent, they were far from a fight to the death. To ensure that Elder Zhu would fully commit to stopping his opponent, Su Nan felt obliged to stoke the urgency.

Indeed, upon hearing his words, Elder Zhu’s expression grew even grimmer, and he took action immediately to prevent the green-robed old man’s escape.

The appearance of the man before him had already convinced him to take Su Nan’s words with absolute trust; he dared not gamble with the future of the Human clan.

As the green-robed old man noticed Su Nan and expressed surprise, Elder Zhu seized the moment.
