Chapter 272 - The Proud Demon Soldier

Chapter 272 - The Proud Demon Soldier

The demon soldier’s blood-red eyes flickered with surprise when he witnessed the absurd scene in front of him.

The human that it had underestimated was actually able to successfully block its powerful blow despite the great difference in their cultivation levels!

’Shit!’ The demon soldier cursed as it used its other hand to hastily cover a part of its head. However, a portion of his upper body became wide open as a result!

Prince Dante and the applicants used this opportunity to hit the exposed parts vital parts of the demon soldier.

The air rippled as dozens of attacks hurtled towards the demon soldier! Flames spells, ice spears, and other strong spells were speeding through the evil creature, making its heart pound heavily in trepidation!

"Damn humans!!" It let out a final shout before the dozens of attacks hit the creature without mercy!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Everyone distanced themselves from the position of the demon soldier and they all stared at the huge cloud of dust ahead of them with serious gazes. Everyone felt nervous as they prepared to launch another wave of attacks.

"Is it dead?" Someone whispered in a slightly shaking tone, but no one replied. All of them stared intently at where the demon soldier once stood.

Zhu Ren held the severely injured Beiming Chu while Princess Sylvia hugged her brother tightly in her embrace. They were also looking in the direction of the demon soldier, hoping to see its body on the ground.

Suddenly...

Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air when they saw that the demon soldier was still standing!

Its right shoulder was completely broken and a huge part of its torso was badly injured, exposing its flesh and muscles. A part of the demon’s head was also bloody and ruined, but it was actually able to remain standing despite its grave injuries!

Cough! Cough! Cough!

The demon soldier spat several mouthfuls of blood. It then covered the exposed internal organs hanging on its mangled upper body. The demon soldier’s body swayed a few times as it forced itself to remain standing.

’I have to escape here!’ The demon soldier thought at that moment. When that idea came to its mind, it immediately used the remainder of its power to turn around and flee.

"Don’t let it get away! Pursue it!" Prince Dante shouted as he gently pushed Princess Sylvia. He then pursued the demon soldier together with the other applicants. The little girl instantly followed her brother when she saw him rushing forward.

Zhu Ren wanted to help them, but he did not want to leave Beiming Chu alone. The guy was too injured to protect himself and there might be other applicants waiting for him to leave his injured friend. To prevent this from happening, Zhu Ren chose to remain and tend to his friend’s injuries.

"Brother Beiming, I know that your Beiming Family’s body strengthening technique is indeed powerful, but you must not do this again..." Zhu Ren said worriedly as he smeared a healing powder on Beiming Chu’s arms.

Beiming Chu tried to speak, but he almost choked on his blood, so he could only flash a weak smile.

Looking at this, Zhu Ren could only shake his head. This friend of his was truly courageous and bold to dare take that demon’s punch. Even he dared not think of doing it...

"Eat this and rest. Leave the rest to them. It should not be a problem for them to defeat an injured demon." Zhu Ren muttered as he glanced towards the distance.

Beiming Chu popped the pill given to him and nodded his head in agreement.

***

"Silver Sword Phantom!" Prince Dante shouted as he released his quickest attack.

A dazzling silver radiance sped towards the escaping demon soldier. The grievously injured demon soldier had lost more than half of its speed and it could no longer evade this sort of attack.

It tried to twist its body to evade a fatal blow, but the prince’s attack still managed to make the demon fall to the ground.

Crash!

Prince Dante blocked the demon soldier’s path of retreat and stared at the creature with calm eyes. He was also waiting for the other applicants to help him finish off this demon. That last attack had almost consumed his remaining true essence and he might not be able to kill it on his own, so he could only block the demon soldier from escaping.

The evil creature glared malevolently at the human in front of it. Its blood-red eyes emitted a gleam full of malice.

"Hu-Humans, yo- you cowardly trashes! You might have won against me, but there is a lot of my kind waiting to slaughter each and every one of you! When that time comes, I hope that I will meet you in hell! Hahaha!" The demon soldier stood up with difficulty. It did not even bother to hold its innards anymore and just cackled with a proud and unyielding expression.

Prince Dante narrowed his eyes as he looked at the arrogant demon. He could see its unyielding character beneath its malevolent appearance. The prince was feeling a bit nervous when he saw that the demon was still able to stand up even in its current state.

’This goddamn demon is resilient!’ He shouted in his heart.

"Hahaha! I like that look on your face, but I hate myself for being defeated by weaklings like you bunch! I won’t allow you trashes to kill me! Hahaha!" The demon soldier laughed in a crazed manner as it lifted its remaining arm. It then punched its own body and pulled its heart out before crushing it in front of Prince Dante!

Thud!

The demon soldier finally collapsed on the ground...

However, that last scene was deeply imprinted in Prince Dante’s mind. The proud demon refused to get killed by its enemy, so it decided to end its own life...

Prince Dante was no coward, but he could not imagine himself pulling his own heart out. Not to mention crushing it without hesitation...
