World of Immortals

Xiao Chen snorted coldly and said, "This is not a very funny joke."

"I have gone through endless years of continuous transformation. What I look forward to is to be reborn. Now that I am not a dead body, I am now a human body with flesh and blood. I really don't want to kill any more."

"How do you explain the few people who were torn apart by you at the entrance of the village?"

"They attacked me first, the woman surrounded by colorful mist can testify." The devil sighed.

Xiao Chen was unmoved, and said: "It seems that you are forced to do nothing. You have killed so many people, how can the devil's mind change as soon as you say it. Besides, if you really restrain your fierceness, why force me to ask for Xiaoshu?"

The dark mist around the devil intensified, and the dark yin energy filled the air again. He said faintly: "Dragon Island has suppressed my strength, making it impossible for me to break through the shackles, so I have no choice but to absorb yang energy every few hundred years. Although I am already a living body with flesh and blood, I still lack some vitality. If I can't get the nourishment of the holy tree, I have no choice but to absorb yang energy on a large scale again, but I really don't want to start killing again."

"It's really nonsense." Xiao Chen didn't really believe his words.

"Do I have to lie to you?" The devil's pale face was exposed outside the black mist, and he looked very sincere. He sighed: "Even if you have the companion dragon king to guard you? Their blood can indeed restrain me, but can they really keep you safe? You should understand that if I want to kill you, I will always find a chance. Besides, what about the other people on the island? Who can protect them? If I want to kill, who can stop me?"

"Are you threatening us?"

"It's okay if you think so." The devil kept sighing, making people feel a creepy chill. He is a real devil, and all his words are not jokes. Harvesting lives is nothing but normal for him.

"Someone is coming..." After saying these words, the devil disappeared from the street ahead without a sound, and then a scream sounded from the dense forest in front of the village. The old woman and the old man changed color on the spot, obviously they were people from the village.

"Stop you, you devil!" The little fat man yelled loudly, leading the Black Dragon King towards the entrance of the village, Xiao Chen and others followed.

A tragic black mist surged out from the woods, and the devil appeared again tens of meters in front of everyone. His pale face was very calm, as if nothing had happened, making people feel chills in their hearts.

"Give me the holy tree. I will return it to you after I use it up. I promise that I will never kill a living person again. I will try my best to be a good person." A sincere expression appeared on his bloodless cheeks. The devil was very serious and sincere, and there was no trace of affectation.

The old woman and the old man were very angry. It was obvious that the clansman who had just screamed was dead, and their bodies were trembling slightly. Xiao Chen, Dugu Sword Demon and others felt that it was extremely absurd that a devil who used to kill people like hemp actually wanted to reform himself...

"What is the origin of the sacred tree you mentioned? Do you really need it so much?" The little fat man asked.

"Oh, that's the sacred tree of the Dragon Clan. I really need it. On Dragon Island, it is the only one that can make me a living person." The devil always sighed when he spoke, looking very melancholy, not at all as heartless as he was when he shot, giving people an illusion, as if this is a lonely man.

As soon as the words "Holy Tree of the Dragon Clan" were uttered, there were huge waves in the hearts of several people at the scene. Of course, the two young accompanying dragon kings were the most emotional.

Angrily, Keke broke free from Xiao Chen's arms and jumped to the ground, wearing a treasure tree hat and looking at the two dragon kings without fear. Although the little beast usually looks lively and cute, it exudes an invisible coercion at the moment. The little thing actually wants to fight a battle to defend its dignity, and wants to fight against the two dragon kings at the same time.

Xiao Chen knew that Ke Ke had super strong defense power, and it would be difficult for him to get out if he was imprisoned, but he had never seen Ke Ke show aggressive power, and he didn't want it to fight with the two-headed dragon king, after all, it was too young.

However, when Xiao Chen reached out to pull Keke, he was blocked by a light curtain. Keke's body as white as jade shone with colorful lights, and the little guy seemed to have colorful holy flames beating outside his body, and it actually exuded an amazing fighting spirit.

This has never happened before. Keke has always been lively and mischievous, and "aggressiveness" has nothing to do with it, but at this moment it seems to have subverted its previous performance.

The purple light of the Purple Dragon King is shining, and the black light of the Black Dragon King is shining, they are still advancing.

The sacred tree of the Dragon Clan was so alluring that several people present couldn't calm down, but they knew that the dragon kings could not fight each other. The woman and the little fat man in the colorful fog kept trying to dissuade the two dragon kings.

But the two young dragon kings were unmoved. It was the sacred tree of the dragon clan, but now it was controlled by a little guy who didn't know what kind of beast it was. They felt that it had shamed the dragon clan.

"Yeah..." At this moment, Keke let out a childish cry, stretched out a small paw and pointed to the treasure tree on her finger, then pointed to the dark woods in front of her, and then rushed out first. The two dragon kings understood, roared and ran towards the evil spirit.

Ke Ke swung the little beast claws and shot two colorful light curtains towards the evil spirit in the mist, and the horns on the heads of the two young dragon kings also burst out with dazzling light, turning into two straight beams of light and shooting at the evil spirit. They seem to want to separate winners and losers in this way to see who is the real king.

The black mist billowed violently, and the devil disappeared from the spot, but the three divine beasts seemed to be able to lock onto his aura, and rushed directly into the dense forest. Amid the dragon king's roar and the towering ancient trees crumbling, there was dazzling light and scattered leaves.

All of a sudden, like a cloud in the wind, a dark mist floated quickly, and the devil appeared beside Xiao Chen and the others without a sound.

Keke turned into a white light and appeared on Xiao Chen's shoulder, the two dragon kings also rushed back, and the devil disappeared without a sound. All this happened in an instant.

"You have seen that if I wanted to kill you just now, I had a good chance of killing you, but I didn't make a move." The devil sighed in the distance, and said: "The dragon king is too young. Although their blood can restrain me, they can't do anything to me when I am prepared. On the contrary, if I want to kill them, they will definitely be dangerous. It's just... I don't want to offend the dragon clan."

This is indeed the thing, the devil is unfathomable.

At this time, several people at the scene hesitated, and finally looked at Xiao Chen and Ke Ke together. They were the key to the incident, and everything depended on their decisions.

Keke stared angrily at Xiao Chen's shoulders, glaring at the devil in the mist. The little tree is a sacred tree that grew up with it, and it was also its ration. After being abandoned by its parents, this little tree was the only one that accompanied it all the time. Don't look like it usually doesn't care, but if someone really comes to snatch it, Keke will say nothing.

"Little guy, I just borrowed it, and I will definitely return it to you in the future, and I will definitely repay you heavily." The devil showed a gentle look, and showed a pale smile at Keke. This made several people at the scene a little surprised. The devil seemed to value Keke more than the two dragon kings.

Xiao Chen looked at the few people beside him, and after a brief observation, he knew what they were thinking, even Dugu Sword Demon, who had the strongest fighting spirit, wanted to compromise. The devil is really unfathomable, and it is impossible to compete with it. Although it is not known whether what he said is true or not, it is still a hope.

After understanding the thoughts of several people, Xiao Chen was silent for a while, and then hugged the furious Ke Ke tightly to prevent it from rushing over again. He said to the devil: "Since your goal is the holy tree, then you should come for me and have nothing to do with other people. Let's go to other places to talk. No matter whether it succeeds or not, please don't hurt others. This is the minimum line to show your sincerity."

There was a tinge of blood on the devil's pale face, and he nodded slightly: "My target is only the holy tree. If others don't block me or attack me, they will never harm anyone again."

An impending terrifying storm had calmed down so much, Xiao Chen didn't turn his head and strode out of the village, the two dragon kings roared and chased after them, they didn't want the sacred tree to fall into the hands of others.

The little fat man in the village chased after him in a hurry to appease the Black Dragon King, and it took a lot of effort to persuade him to retreat. In fact, although the Dragon King is young, he has psychics for a long time. He deeply knows that his power is not enough to take back the sacred tree of the Dragon Clan.

"I hope you are safe and sound. I really want to make friends with you. My name is Niu Ren." The naive little fat man whispered to Xiao Chen before retreating.

Niu Ren's name made people laugh, but Xiao Chen couldn't laugh out loud. He nodded slightly and said, "We will be friends next time we meet. My name is Xiao Chen."

The woman surrounded by colorful mist also came over, but she didn't want to take the Purple Dragon King away, but to appease him constantly, wanting him to stay by Xiao Chen's side to protect his safety.

"Good intentions. Ke Ke is no worse than the Dragon King. If Ke Ke can't restrain the evil spirits, even one more Dragon King will not help." Xiao Chen felt that the mysterious woman was really kind-hearted, so he told her about the other two Dragon Kings in inaudible words.

The little snow-white beast Ke Ke was very intelligent, it knew exactly what had happened, and reluctantly took off the precious tree from its head, hugged it tightly in its arms for a long time, and then handed it to Xiao Chen very reluctantly, with a pitiful look on its face.

Xiao Chen smiled, and said: "This is the sacred tree that the little beast has been with since it was born. How can it be given to others? Besides, it is a devil. It cannot be believed or dealt with."

Keke didn't want to be called a little beast, so she grabbed a lock of his long hair and pulled it gently, then handed the treasure tree to Xiao Chen.

"Don't worry, there is no need for the little murderer to extract the sacred tree. He must have some scruples. Otherwise, how could a devil negotiate with us instead of taking it forcibly."

"Yeah..." Keke's big eyes suddenly brightened, her long eyelashes fluttering constantly, but in the end she lowered her head in frustration, and compared her height funnyly with that of the evil ghost, as if to say that it is really still young and can't beat the devil.

Xiao Chen was suddenly amused by the emotion it showed, and said with a smile: "I see you sleeping soundly all day, and those dragon kings are fighting every day. They try to improve their strength. You are no worse than them, you have to work hard. If you want to be able to fight against the devil, you can't be so lazy from now on."

Annoyed, the snow-white little beast grabbed Xiao Chen's long hair and pulled it lightly, then unexpectedly nodded solemnly, put the treasure tree hat on his head, jumped from between Xiao Chen's arms to his shoulder, and began to meditate solemnly.

That’s right, it’s meditation and breath adjustment!

This made Xiao Chen open his mouth wide in surprise, Keke actually sat cross-legged like a cultivator, closed a pair of bright big eyes, her long eyelashes stopped blinking, and a faint glow bloomed from her whole body, as if she had fallen into an ethereal realm.

It is no longer possible to use words to describe Xiao Chen's mood at the moment. Ke Ke brought him too many surprises. How could a little beast behave like this?

However, after walking a few miles in the dense forest, Xiao Chen was completely speechless again, because he heard a slight snoring sound, and the little beast actually sat cross-legged on his shoulder and fell asleep.

Speechless... Completely speechless.

Nature is hard to change, this little guy really made Xiao Chen at a loss for what to say.
