Chapter 342: Danger
Chapter 342: Danger
" Oh! Tell me about them. "
Jayden asked curiously, he had seen only two cultivators at that stage so far, and if the king had someone even stronger than Jayden would need to prepare even more properly.
" The Tottering Demon, I have heard that he is the fastest man in this entire Kingdom, no one could match him in that field. "
Then she paused for a moment, giving him time to think then she spoke:
" And The Crazy Bull: he is quite famous for his strength, actually both of them are brothers, but for some reason, they hate each other, aside from these two... "
Xiao tried to think but no other information came to her mind, since the king keeps his strength well hidden and for any kind of dirty work he would use these brothers and rarely expose any other powerful entity.
" That's good to know, also don't worry about anything and you can just focus on your cultivating I'll deal with the king myself. "
He said and kissed her forehead. Xiao giggled when he began to kiss her cheek then lips and neck, they talked about other things for a while longer, and then in the comfort of each other's embrace, both of them finally drifted off to sleep.
Jayden body has relaxed a lot thanks to her, his body and mind felt completely refreshed to the point that he even forgot about his nightmares, and fell asleep.
*****
*GRRRRRRRRR*
A strange sound of a growl rang out in the room, Jayden suddenly felt a piercing pain in his head as he jolted awake and sat up immediately, while holding his head he slowly opened his eyes.
" Ughh What's going on? "
As he mumbled he looked to the side and was shocked to see that there was no one beside him, he looked around in the room and even tried to scan the entire place with Void skill but he couldn't find Xiao.
' Don't tell me I am inside another nightmare? '
As this thought appeared in his head, Jayden looked down at his body and found that he hadn't become someone else and was still present in his own body.
' Huh? This is my body, then is this not a nightmare? Anna, can you hear me? ' Jayden asked, but he received no response, the more he thought about it the more it felt like a nightmare.
*TIP* *TIP*
Just then he felt a few drops of some liquid falling onto his head from the top, raising his hand over to his head he touched his hair and then brought it in front of his eyes.
' Blood? '
Jayden thought as a bad feeling filled his entire being, he slowly looked at the ceiling and saw a black creature that resembled a big werewolf standing on the ceiling upside down, its nails digging into the ceiling.
Its red eyes stared at Jayden hungrily, but when Jayden looked at its mouth fear and rage filled him, he saw Xiao Rong's body lying in its mouth lifelessly its teeth digging into her belly as blood poured out, her breath seemed very weak, she was about to die. All the thoughts disappeared from his mind and endless rage filled him.
" Noooooooo!!! "
A loud roar came out of Jayden's mouth as he jumped towards the beast, aiming to save her, but the strange creature just threw her body away before charging at Jayden.
Jayden's eyes were fixed on Xiao Rong just as his punch was about to land on the creature's face, but when he touched its body Jayden felt as if he had punched a mountain instead of inflicting any damage to it, he felt his own arm breaking.
*ROAARR*
Before he could do anything the creature roared loudly and swung its claws towards Jayden's shoulder instantly severing one of his arms and then pushing him down, as its another claw began to dig into his chest.
Jayden was shocked when his arm didn't heal, pain filled his body as blood kept flowing out of his wounds, he looked to the side and saw Xiao lying there in a bad state, it wouldn't be long before she would stop breathing.
" Ughhhh "
But then a painful scream came out of his mouth when the creature tore open his belly, even pulling out his organs in the process.
Jayden raised his remaining hand toward the face of the creature, aiming for its eye, he knew that he wouldn't be able to overpower the beast in terms of strength.
*ROAAAARRRRRRR*
Another roar resounded in the room when Jayden dug his finger into the eye socket of the creature and pulled its eyes ball out, the creature roared in pain and was filled with anger, it placed one of its legs over Jayden's head and with another loud roar, it crushed his head into minced meat, killing him instantly.
Jayden woke up with a jolt his body was drenched in cold sweat, as he sat up and opened his eyes, he looked to the side and relaxed when he saw a figure lying inside the blanket beside him.
" Hubby, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream? " Alice asked after hearing the rustling, then she sat up too and took his hand.
[ A/N: It is not a mistake, I know I wrote Alice there. ]
Jayden's breathing was slightly ragged, he ran one of his hands through his smooth long hair as the memories of the dream he just had filled him.
Taking in a deep breath he looked at Alice and after shaking his head he spoke:
" I'm fine honey, don't worry. "
Saying that he hugged her, and closed his eyes to calm himself since he didn't want to make her worry.
But then a strange feeling filled his heart and he felt that something was wrong, in his mind he spoke: ' Anna, are you there? '
But he again received no answer, then something clicked in his mind and he finally remembered that Alice shouldn't be present at this place, he pushed her back immediately and was shocked to see her face.
" You... What are you? "
Jayden asked looking at her, her face was distorted, big sharp teeth filled her mouth, and red veins filled her entire face.
Jayden was about to create some distance between them when the fake Alice in front of him suddenly pounced towards him, she suddenly bit his neck and pulled out a big piece of his flesh.
" Ahhhhh "
Jayden grimaced as he finally stood a little further away from the being in front of him who was happily devouring his flesh.
' This means that I'm still inside the nightmare, maybe if I die I will wake up in reality. '
He thought while eyeing the figure in front of him and he didn't wait to raise his hand towards his head before punching it with all his strength such that his head exploded with that punch.
*BOOOOOM*
Jayden jolted awake, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat as he suddenly sat up and then opened his eyes.
The familiar scene of the room entered his view, he immediately looked to the side and found Xiao Rong sleeping peacefully beside him.
