As a demon hunter, Yi Nan has seen many times the characteristics of demons disguised as humans when they are about to appear - the most obvious ones are unnaturally popping veins and eyes that are not human.
But when this characteristic appeared in his mother Huo Xia, he hoped that his mother was just angry with him and comforted her in a panic.
"Mom, I was wrong, Mom..."
"Run...get away from me!" Huo Xia's body was shaking, and she stretched out her hand to push Yi Nan.
With an ordinary push, Yi Nan felt as if he had been hit by a truck. He flew violently, smashed into the door of his house, and rolled more than 20 meters on the street!
"Ahem..." He coughed, blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth, but he seemed to feel no pain and struggled to look at his home.
When his mother's clothes were torn by the demon's body, his heart seemed to be torn as well.
"Why? Why is this happening?"
"When? Is it when I go out this time?! Mom!!" Yi Nan cried.
"No." The demon, who was over 2.5 meters tall, completely black, with irregular silver-white patterns on his arms, thighs, and cheeks, came out and answered with a hoarse and harsh voice, grinning slightly.
Then his mouth grew wider and wider.
Until half of his face was split!
"Hahahahaha...hahahahaha..."
Harsh laughter broke out.
"Seven years! A full seven years!!" He roared: "This damn woman has trapped me for seven full years! Seven years!!"
Howls echoed throughout the neighborhood!
Seeing the situation here, the residents of the small town screamed and ran away, panic spread!
As a demon hunter, Yi Nan forgot his duties and knelt on the ground blankly.
"Seven...years?"
"Yes, seven years, my child." The demon smiled and said: "You are really a good child I raised, Yi Nan, if it weren't for you, if you hadn't mentioned what happened seven years ago today, let this woman I finally understand that if I die, I may be trapped by her for a few more years, hahahahaha..."
Seven years... Yi Nan recalled in a trance the surprising glimpse on the train seven years ago.
Is it it?
It's the superior demon that killed my father!
The father did not die with it. It was still alive. On that day, it ate its mother? And then... you want to disguise yourself as a mother and sneak into the town?
In the past seven years... what has happened to my mother...
What have I done? !
Yi Nan lost the ability to think.
"What a great maternal love, what a terrible obsession, just an ordinary human being! Hahahahaha..." The monster laughed: "Seven years, seven years without eating human brains, I'm so hungry!"
"Then... let's start with you, the child I raised with my own hands, Yi Nan!"
Bang——
The ground beneath its feet was cracked by it, and in an instant, it came to Yi Nan!
Sharp claws that were more than ten centimeters long and emitted cold light clawed at Yi Nan's head, trying to decapitate him.
Yi Nan, who had almost run out of tears, could not dodge.
At the critical moment, six pigtails were slapped on Yi Nan's face. Zhao Lan came in a flash and struck the demon's claw with a knife, making a crisp sound and intercepting the demon's attack!
But after only a second of stalemate, Zhao Lan's expression changed slightly, and he took Yi Nan with him and shot backwards, crashing into a house.
"Pooh--"
After spitting a mouthful of dust, Zhao Lan stood up with a knife and stood in front of Yi Nan. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Yi Nan! Cheer up! Sister Huo Xia must be very tired. She has been holding on until now just because she wants you." If I want you to survive, I want you to have the ability to resist, and I want you to become stronger, you must not die here!"
Yi Nan, who was lying on the ground, was in a daze. His trembling hand slowly reached for the knife at his waist.
"me……"
"Hahaha...Zhao Lan, Xiaolan, I am your sister Huo Xia!" The demon laughed strangely again: "I have long...wanted to eat you!"
boom--
"cut--"
The speed is so fast. Is this the superior demon that killed Teacher Yizhen?
Zhao Lan gritted his teeth and had no time to wait for Yi Nan, so he rushed towards the demon! The demon-slaying knife was swung into the shape of a full moon. With a quick move, she avoided the demon's claws and struck the demon's neck squarely with the knife!
However, clang——
The broken tip of the knife waved in the air.
Zhao Lan's expression suddenly changed.
Actually... can it be so hard? !
Oops!
Bang! !
The demon's blow hit her chest and abdomen. In an instant, she felt that all her internal organs were displaced. She vomited a large mouthful of blood and flew backwards.
"You are far worse than Yizhen!" The demon said in a low tone, "He hurt me that time!"
After bouncing twice on the ground, Zhao Lan struggled to hold himself up and gasped for breath.
No, this guy is definitely not an enemy I can deal with alone. Who is the demon hunter patrolling nearby? Chen Zheng? Not enough, he is just a lower-level hunter, and his strength is not as good as Yi Nan!
You have to hold on until the other two intermediate hunters arrive before you have a chance to kill this monster. You have to hold on...
not good!
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Zhao Lan stood up quickly when he saw the demon rushing towards Yi Nan. He coughed up a mouthful of blood foam after running two steps and staggered.
It's over, it's too late.
"Yi Nan!!"
Bang——
Suddenly there was a sound of something breaking.
It wasn't Yi Nan's head.
The frightened Zhao Lan was stunned for a moment and saw half a wooden board spinning from the air and falling to her side.
That's half a chess board.
In front of Yi Nan, a familiar figure was holding the other half of the chessboard with one hand.
And the monster flew back faster than sprinting and crashed back into Yi Nan's home!
"……what happened?"
what happened?
Yi Nan also raised his head blankly.
"Ji Xing...brother?"
Ji Xing's face didn't look good. He carried the remaining half of the chessboard and walked towards the demon, asking, "Did you just lift my chessboard?"
The demon climbed up from the rubble and looked at him with a pair of green eyes in shock and anger.
"what are you?!"
Tick-tick-tick-
Black blood dripped down its forehead, which shocked Zhao Lan's heart.
Broken? The tough skin that broke my knife was broken by a chessboard...?
this person……
Dark color crawled all over Ji Xing's right arm holding the chessboard, and a strange color flashed in his right eye. Zhao Lan's hand holding the knife tightened, and Yi Nan opened his mouth in confusion.
The pattern on the demon's face wrinkled: "Ha, so they are the same kind? Don't break the rules, this town is my food reserve, stay away!"
"Go away, you are paralyzed! Lift my chessboard?!"
Snapped--
As if teleporting, Ji Xing instantly crossed a distance of 10 meters and flashed to the demon's side.
The remaining half of the chessboard was smashed!
The demon didn't react.
Half of the chessboard is broken again, leaving a quarter.
Black blood splattered on the demon's head!
In the severe pain, it was dazed for a moment, with a hint of fear in its green pupils.
"you……"
"Turn over my chessboard! Turn over my chessboard!"
The chessboard becomes smaller and smaller as you smash it!
The monster's body is getting shorter and shorter!
Fear gradually gave way to pleading.
"No...forgive..."
The last chessboard, which was as big as a palm, was pressed into its head by Ji Xing's hand!
boom--
Yi Nan's house collapsed.
Thick smoke was everywhere.
When Ji Xing walked out of the smoke, the demon with only half his head left was buried under the rubble, and his body was only left with the instinctive twitching power of movement.
There is also a gap between high-level monsters!
Zhao Lan was confused the whole time, until he saw Ji Xing walking towards Yi Nan, he gritted his teeth and stopped him.
"Could it be...a big demon! Why would a guy like you...appear in Yangliu Town?!"
Ji Xing sighed, his anger on the demon was almost gone, and he looked past her towards Yi Nan, who was also looking at him blankly.
"Brother Ji Xing...are you also...a demon? Why...is this happening?"
"Everything in the world can never go as planned. We don't know what will happen in the next second. You are trying to trick me." Ji Xing said with a helpless smile: "Be stronger in the future. Next time we meet, I hope you are already a divine hunter. Let’s play chess again.”
After saying that, Ji Xing turned around and left.
At this time, another demon hunter finally arrived, and Zhao Lan hurriedly shouted: "Don't stop him!"
So the hunters escorted Ji Xing all the way home, picked up his luggage, and escorted him out of the town.
No one dares to stop him!
"Brother Ji Xing! You are a human! Tell me now, you are actually a human!" Yi Nan ran to the gate of the town, kneeling and crying.
Ji Xing turned around and waved to him.
"Of course I'm human!"
After saying that, he turned around and headed straight into the wilderness.
'Oh, this time, I want to make a name for myself. '
