Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 578 Not Following The Script

Teng Yi was sure that this mortal man fighting with Mo Sheng would agree to team up with them, even Xue Jin felt the same way, yet instead of answering him, Ren looked at them weirdly.

'Why is he looking at me like that?... Oh, I get it, since Mo Shen is hailed as the strongest of Swallow City, this mortal doesn't think that Xue Jin and I would be able to handle the weakened Mo Shen.'

Teng Yi was sure that his guess was right, so to assure Ren of his confidence he showed a bright smile before he spoke.

"Little brother I know why you're hesitating, but do not worry, seeing how weak the current Old Mo is, even if he is hailed as the so-called strongest of Swallow City, as long as you, Brother Xue Jin, and I collaborate it will be an easy victory."

Ren was about to give an answer when Mo Shen spoke first.

"Heh, with just you two? I can beat the two of you with one hand behind my back. So how about you two just leave while I'm feeling merciful. Still, if you want to stay then you'll be staying here for eternity."

As Mo Shen spoke he started laughing as the Qi in his body exploded outwards taunting Xue Jin and Teng Yi. Mo Shen's sudden outburst made Xue Jin and Teng Yi take a step backward. Mo Shen's momentum seem to be unstoppable which made the two newcomers have sudden doubts about their plans.

'No this is just a final bravado, I'm sure that he's at the end of his rope!' Xue Jin gritted his teeth as he stepped forward.

"Hmph, who are you trying to fool Old Mo? If you were in your normal state you wouldn't even bother giving us a chance to escape." Even though Teng Yi was sure Mo Sheng was bluffing he had taken out a talisman he made for escape.

"Heh, you're overthinking it, I was just in a good mood after having a bout with the little brother over there. Still, if you two think I'm bluffing then stop talking and come at me already."

While he was talking to Xue Jin and Teng Yi, Mo Sheng had already taken a Qi restoration pill and started buying for time, until his Qi returned.

'Tsk, there isn't enough time for the Qi restoration pill to take proper effect. I have only recovered a bit of my Qi, this isn't enough to beat these two much less that young-looking mortal man.' As Mo Sheng was trying to regain his Qi faster, Xue Jin and Teng Yi looked at each other and used a voice transmission technique.

'What do you think?'

'He might just be bluffing or buying time. Either way, that just means he's desperate. There might not be another chance like this, so let's take it.'

After saying that Teng Yi took out another talisman, seeing Teng Yi ready to attack Xue Jin clenched his fist and started gathering his Qi into them. When Mo Sheng saw the two get into fighting stances he sighed in his mind as he tightly grasped his treasured Sabre.

"I see you guys made your choice. You two should've taken the chance to leave when I was being generous. Now let's see who among us will die today!"

As the three Nascent Soul Realm experts were about to start fighting, they suddenly felt an intense feeling of dread. They knew that what they were feeling right now was killing intent. This was the first time they had sensed such horrifying killing intent, that could even make the three of them who had centuries of experience feel fear. The trio then looked where the source of the killing intent was coming from. To their surprise, it was the young mortal man, who had a vicious smile on his face.

"Did you three seriously forget about me?"

"..."

The three Nascent Soul Realm experts could not say a word in response as they were all stunned by Ren's overwhelming killing intent. Xue Jin and Teng Yi were truly bewildered by what they were feeling. The two then had a similar question come into their minds, how could a mortal man have such frightening killing intent?

Seeing that the three Nascent Soul Realm experts look like they had no plan on responding made Ren sigh. He then scratched his head before speaking.

"You two were such letdowns. I thought that you two coming here would make it a little more exciting, as you would team up with that guy over there, but not only did you not do that but you actually invited me to fight alongside you. If that wasn't bad enough you actually forgot about me midway. I really thought that you two would come here and be like. Old Mo we've come to back you up, allow us to help you defeat this powerful foe. That's what I thought you were going to say. Why are you two not following the script?"

'Aren't you the one not following the script?! You were supposed to be a normal mortal man with some secret treasure!' Xue Jin and Teng Yi shouted in their minds.

"*sigh*, You two have spoiled my mood. I was having fun fighting this guy, and I wanted to see how far he could take that Sabre technique of his. Now not only did you disrupt his technique ruining it, but you didn't even come here to help. I'm no longer in the mood to fight." Ren sighed again as he looked at Mo Sheng.

"Hey you, what was your name?" Ren stopped emitting his killing intent as he asked this question.

"... I'm Mo Sheng..."

"Alright, so Mo Shen long story short I helped these clansmen of yours so they owe me. They brought me here under my request, also I didn't harm any of them they just fainted from the pressure of my aura. I wasn't planning on hurting you and your clansmen in the first place, I just wanted to have a little battle with you."

Mo Sheng looked at Ren dumbfounded by what he heard. He wasn't expecting the story to be like that. After Ren was done talking to Mo Sheng he shifted his attention to the two interlopers.

"As for you two, even though you didn't mean it, you've put me in a foul mood. I was planning on killing you two swiftly but I've changed my mind."

This was the first time Xue Jin and Teng Yi met a person that casually said that he was going to kill them as if it was the easiest thing to do. Even their greatest rival Mo Sheng wouldn't be able to kill them with such ease as the mortal (?) man was making it out to be. The worst part about it was that the two of them couldn't feel angry by the mortal (?) man's arrogance since even they felt what he said was true.

"... So are you going to let us go?..." Teng Yi cautiously asked as he tightly held his escape talisman ready to use it at any time.

"Since you guys did disturb my fun, you need to compensate me somehow. So I will let you two go but only after we play a little game."
