I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1397: Who the hell is afraid of whom
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Outer space surrounding the Cloud Planet.
The void rippled as Long Tian emerged together with Chen Kunpeng.
Gazing upon the distant planet now nearly fully under his grasp, Long Tian felt a surge of relief. After scanning around and sensing no other potent auras, he released a deep breath of ease.
Phew...
That moment had been fraught with peril, but thankfully, he returned without harm!
Upon arriving back on the Cloud Planet, he could simply execute a few minions for show to deceive this odd monk. Once the planet was secured and the Star Master captured, rejoining the Demon Race would proceed effortlessly.
All in utmost secrecy!
Staying longer on the Origin Planet might have eroded Long Tian's assurance, yet on the Cloud Planet—his own domain—he possessed reasonable confidence in handling matters.
In the end, he managed the Cloud Planet's operations. So long as he avoided that individual named Yi, no major issues should arise.
More importantly, following the original scheme, no further demons were set to emerge on the Cloud Planet, relieving him of the need to savagely slaughter his own kin again.In just a few breaths.
Long Tian regulated his mindset via respiration and contemplated the following strategy.
Meanwhile, he stretched out his hand to beckon Chen Kunpeng, striking the pose of a gracious host.
"Master."
"It is truly a great fortune to meet you today. As the master of the Cloud Planet, I should do the honors as the host. Please, Master, come to the Cloud Planet for a chat."
His demeanor and speech were impeccable, revealing his superior acting talent.
Chen Kunpeng showed no suspicion, simply beaming and nodding.
"Excellent, excellent."
As he neared success in duping him with events aligning to plan, Long Tian's assurance grew, a slight grin forming on his face.
Unfortunately.
When luck evades someone, even cold water lodges in the teeth.
Immediately after advancing to issue the invitation, several auras fluctuated in the void the next instant.
That unmistakable sensation jolted Long Tian, sending his heart into turmoil!
Thump!
No way...
A grave foreboding rose in his chest, stiffening Long Tian's form in astonishment. Not until Chen Kunpeng turned his head faintly did he quickly follow suit and glance backward.
With this glance.
Long Tian's eyes popped wide in horror!
In the encircling starry sea, countless demons materialized from the void, staring with intense hostility. Inspecting the group more closely, Long Tian's eyes expanded even further!
The Bull Demon Race's foremost young expert, Niu Dongtian...
The Desolate Bone Ice Race's top prodigy, Sha Wuhai!
And the Black Flood Dragon Race's supreme genius, Long Yi?!
...
Dozens of fellow demons surged from all sides. They comprised elite youths from diverse races, headed by these standout juniors, including members of his own clan. The gathering was without precedent!
Why had such a horde of elites materialized near the Cloud Planet?
What is happening?!
Long Tian had assumed luring the monk to the Cloud Planet would evade his demon brethren and prevent more forced kin-killings. Instead, a massive contingent of compatriots confronted him once more—all prodigious juniors!
He froze in shock, nearly blurting curses aloud.
Damn it!
Why appear here? What now!
Could his savage slaying of kin have been uncovered?
After mere fleeting looks.
Long Tian brimmed with dismay and uncertainty, panic nearly summoning tears.
Unaware of his compatriots' aim, he refrained from reckless action. Moreover, with the bald malevolent deity at his side, Long Tian trembled in fear, feeling as if on thin ice!
In one brief clash.
Long Tian plunged into a quandary!
Within the nearby starry expanse.
The demon elites observed for several breaths, their countenances turning stern.
Witnessing Long Tian accompanied by a monk-resembling human, they grasped the need for silence to conceal his demonic heritage.
Remembering Lord Demon Venerable's directives, the youthful demon elites tensed further.
They shared discreet looks and transmitted voices.
"Young Master Long Tian has indeed infiltrated the human race. It seems we came at the right time!"
"Lord Demon Venerable is truly far-sighted!"
"Everyone! We shoulder a heavy responsibility and must do whatever it takes to make Young Master Long Tian gain the trust of the human race!"
"That's right. As long as he can complete the great cause, even if we sacrifice everything and offer our divine souls to Lord Demon Venerable and Lord Totem, we will not hesitate!"
"There must be no flaws in this play. When we make a move later, we must show no mercy, so as not to arouse the monk's suspicion!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's pretend we don't know Young Master Long Tian and treat him as the Star Master of the Cloud Planet. We absolutely cannot hold back when we attack!"
...
The demon elites shared quick glances over a few breaths and quickly solidified their determination.
Pulling back their eyes, waves of demonic energy erupted from the demons. Their horrifying murderous intent gathered without pause, blanketing the starlight like a shadowy veil and surging over the Cloud Planet!
Boom!
Within mere breaths, that fearsome killing intent amassed right before them, roaring like a breached dam, which made Long Tian's face twist in alarm!
Luckily,
Chen Kunpeng pressed his palms together, and a resonant Buddhist incantation scattered the dreadful killing intent like drifting mist.
"Amitabha."
The serene chant reverberated, causing the demons' gazes to darken in shock!
What an astonishing cultivation level!
Just who is this figure?
With such a formidable human watching, their performance couldn't afford any slip-ups!
Snapped out of his daze, Long Tian glanced back anxiously, crushed by an immense pressure.
As he turned, Chen Kunpeng met his eyes with a grin. Without uttering a word, that look alone sent chills crawling over his scalp.
That grin terrified him more than anything!
Caught between these sudden allies on one side and a monstrously strong monk on the other—what was he supposed to do!?
Just as Long Tian felt like weeping without tears,
The demons started shouting in unison, fully embracing their roles as vengeful hunters!
"Long Tian, you actually murdered dozens of experts from our race. Today, we will definitely avenge our clansmen!"
"Long Tian, today, either you die, or we will be buried here!"
"In this battle, we will not only decide the victor but also life and death!"
"Long Tian, don't think that just because you are protected by an expert, you can brutally kill our race. Today, the elites of various races have gathered here by order of Lord Demon Venerable. No matter how capable you are, you won't be able to escape!"
...
In a torrent of furious roars and curses, the demons' acting hit its zenith. They appeared utterly consumed by a mortal grudge, determined to slay Long Tian no matter what.
This spectacle mirrored the age-old bitter enmity between humans and demons. No one there could suspect that these foes were truly kin!
These demons proved themselves true elites, no doubt.
Even Long Tian stood there stunned.
Hearing the waves of bitter accusations, his eyes snapped up in terror and disbelief!
What the hell?!
Did Lord Demon Venerable learn about those slaughtered bull demons?
It's finished, completely finished!
Terror gripped Long Tian's heart, nearly spilling words of defense from his lips.
Yet, spotting the grinning monk from the corner of his vision, he choked back every explanation despite a thousand thoughts racing through his mind. That single glance terrified him into silence.
Right then,
Long Tian felt utterly wronged, with no outlet for his boiling rage!
For the Demon Race's grand mission, he'd ventured personally to Cloud Planet seeking its Star Master. But setbacks piled up relentlessly. He'd barely tricked that fearsome human named Yi, only to clash with this savage bald monk. To escape alive, he'd slain a handful of bull demons...
Now pursued by his own kind.
This was just like Zhu Bajie staring into a mirror—neither human nor demon!
The cosmos stretched endlessly, yet nowhere offered him refuge!
Snowflakes danced amid the howling north wind.
The realm lay vast and desolate.
As Long Tian froze in misery, the demon throng judged the moment perfect. They bellowed and lunged ahead. Blazing trails of light ripped through the starry void, their solid killing intent slamming toward Cloud Planet's outer reaches.
Seeing his 'clansmen' rush him from every angle, Long Tian's mind shattered entirely!
Damn it all!
They were blatantly driving him to his doom!
Not locating the Lord of the Cloud Planet was bad enough, but ending up in this wretched plight... he had truly botched his scheme and lost big time. Grievances flooded his heart, with no outlet for his complaints!
Killing intent surged from every side, trapping him in an unyielding snare that darkened the skies and blanketed the ground, showing zero mercy at all. He even spotted several old acquaintances unleashing their freshly forged lifebound demonic weapons, displaying their ironclad resolve to end his life...
Long Tian's heart turned icier the more he observed!
A desperate fight to the death, is it?
Who's intimidated by whom!
I may not beat that bald monk, but risking everything, do you lot of trash really think I'd cower!
Fueled by this resolve, Long Tian barreled ahead in a frenzy!
"Kill!!!"
Charging solo into the starry expanse, the light trail merged into the dark fog in a flash. Blood spray erupted skyward at once. His spotless white robes stained scarlet, while savage battle cries reverberated across the Ancient Corridor!
Observing the scene from afar.
Helpless disappointment gleamed in Chen Kunpeng's eyes, like steel that refused to forge itself. He half-closed them and let out repeated sighs.
"Amitabha."
"This ceaseless battling and slaying is way too brutal. That benefactor sorely misses any Buddha nature..."
