26 - Identities And Unknown People

At night, Liu Chen was cultivating and not sleeping. Because, his mattress is not enough to occupy three.

Just like what Han Liangyi and Song Quon said during the day, they met outside the house. No one knows that they both came out, because they hid their own existence.

"ayo come with me! I know where the forest near this village is" Song Quon walked in front of Han Liangyi.

"hoams.i'm sleepy", Han Liangyi rubbed her eyes and looked sleepy.

Song Quon did not comment or say anything about the sleepy Han Liangyi.

After being slightly deep into the forest, Song Quon stopped his steps. He turned to face Han Liangyi.

Han Liangyi who was not paying attention, directly hit Song Quon, "oh.!", Han Liangyi immediately took a few steps back and rubbed his head.

"why did you stop?"

"i've stopped, you're the one who didn't notice. So watch your way!" said Song Quon.

"huft..well..well.., what do you want to talk to me about? don't take too long. I want to go back to sleep, hoams.", Han Liangyi said lazily.

"actually what level is your power at? why can't I see your level?", Song Quon stared at Han Liangyi flatly.

"that's because you're too weak! so you can't see my level. I could see your level now at 2-star earth level, am I right?", the corner of Han Liangyi's lips lifted.

"it turns out to be true. You have a higher level than me. Who the hell are you?" song Quon said seriously.

"me? I'm just a traveler. I'm no one", Han Liangyi smiled.

"how can your strength be above me with your age that looks like it's only 17-18 years old?"

Han Liangyi shrugged both of her shoulders and smiled, "now that I will ask", her expression immediately turned serious.

"you're not human, are you?" ask Han Liangyi.

"what do you mean? why do you think that?" song Quon said calmly.

Han Liangyi smiled, "of course I know, I've seen you"

"i don't remember meeting you at all. I just got to know you now"

"we didn't know each other at first, the first time I saw you, I didn't know you. But I know your face, I've seen you mess up a village" Han Liangyi smiled.

"what do you mean? how could I possibly do that? I never did", Song Quon stared at Han Liangyi flatly.

"that's not all, I see you're not human. You are a demobic beast that is not even 1,000 years old yet to become human. What technique did you use that turned you into a human before you were 1,000? are you using a forbidden technique?", Han Liangyi looked at Song Quon in full search.

"it's none of your business! just take care of your own business", Song Quon looked at Han Liangyi coldly.

"if you answer it like that, then what I'm saying is true, right? you are not human. You're a wind wolf demon beast, whose population is currently extremely rare"

"listen to me well well, I am human. You don't accuse me carelessly without any evidence", Song Quon stared at Han Liangyi flatly.

"huft.I don't have any proof. But your face is the same as a demonic beast that can turn into a human. So you must be the one who massacred and ate some of the people there"

"it could be just someone who looks like me. So don't accuse me. Never mind, I'll just come back. I don't care who you are either", Song Quon walked straight away.

The corner of Han Liangyi's lips was drawn upwards, "is what I said really true? seeing your reaction like that, makes me sure. That you are the wind wolf"

Song Quon stopped walking, he glanced back, "if you know it, then don't tell anyone about it. You understand?!"

"alright..alright..even to your friend Chen? you don't want him to know?", Han Liangyi raised his eyebrows while looking at Song Quon.

"don't tell him this. I don't want her to know that then she'll probably stay away from me"

Han Liangyi smiled, "you think brother Chen is such a person? you think brother Chen will stay away from you because of that? then you're wrong!"

Song Quon turned around and looked towards Han Liangyi, "there's no way he can accept me who is a demonic beast. Most humans won't accept demonic beasts like me"

Han Lingyi smiled again, "you think he will care about your identity which is a demonic beast? I don't think he's that kind of person"

"but still, don't tell him my identity"

"alright, I'm not gonna tell him. But how did you turn into a human before 1,000 years?"

"i don't want to say it, no matter how you force me, I still won't tell you. I also don't care anymore about your identity", Song Quon turned around and walked away.

"hey, wait for me! you want to leave me in the forest like this?!", Han Liangyi followed Song Quon who walked away.

"are you afraid of the darkness, hm?", sneered Song Quon as he glanced sideways.

"no, I'm not afraid of the dark. I just don't want to be left alone here. It's okay, even if you don't tell me how you could be human before 1,000 years, but I'll find my own information"

They walked back to Liu Chen's house. But the atmosphere around them felt different after Han Liangyi said that Song Quon was a demonic beast.

"nothing, although my identity which is a demonic beast is known, as long as he doesn't know more about me" Inner Song Quon.

"then, when you saw me in that village, why didn't you stop me?" song Quon asked in confusion.

"the color is none of my business. But you better not eat humans anymore. You are already hitchhiking to Chen's brother" Han Liangyi said.

"hey?! what do you mean hitchhiking, huh?! I didn't hitchhike at all with Chen!" song Quon Protest.

"hehe, that's the truth, isn't it? you're hitchhiking to eat and live in his house"

"you are like that! while I am, I am Chen's friend. Chen doesn't care if I eat and stay there. While you? you eat and live in her house, but you're not who" Song Quon sneered.

"i'm his friend, too, you know?"

"Chen didn't say it like that"

"uh, i-that's because brother Chen won't admit that from now on I'm his friend"

"huh, just say just want to hitchhike and eat" Song Quon said with a chuckle.

The atmosphere became quiet again for some time until Liu Chen's home. They went straight into the house.

The next morning, Liu Chen said goodbye to his parents and said that he would leave for a while. Liu Chen also told Song Quon and Han Liangyi to stay at home. He did it to take care of his parents.

Neither of his friends had any problem with it, his parents initially did not allow for Liu Chen to leave. But Liu Chen said the reason. Eventually his parents allowed Liu Chen.

Liu Chen went to enter the forest near the village. He went into the depths of the forest. When he had entered the forest deep enough, Liu Chen did not see any abyss that had ever made him fall.

"it looks like the abyss will disappear if it's been 5 years" Liu Chen murmured.

Liu Chen entered that deep cave. "this place, it seems suitable for my closed-door training. I will absorb the Qi that is at the core of the demonic beast. Master gives so much, that maybe I will go up a lot. But I won't absorb it all at once for now"

After searching for a suitable place, Liu Chen immediately sat down cross-legged and placed a few demonic beast cores in front of him.

Inside each core, having such a dense Qi made Liu Chen amazed with his teacher. That meant, this teacher had already finished off many high-level demonic beasts so that every core that was in front of Liu Chen right now had a thick Qi density.

Liu Chen instantly focused himself on absorbing the Qi present in every single demonic beast core before him.

Time passed, not feeling 2 weeks have passed.

Liu Chen started to open his eyes and exhaled a long breath. "The "Qi present at each core had a thick Qi. The core that I have to absorb is also a lot. I've now climbed 3 stars. So now I'm at the 8-star emperor level"

If others know, Liu Chen had only taken 2 weeks to successfully absorb all the cores Liu Chen had stored in front of him and if only the others knew Liu Chen had managed to rise by three stars in just 2 weeks, maybe they'll vomit blood hearing it.

The core that Liu Chen absorbed was not a low-leveled core. But the core it absorbed had a high level, so the Qi within it must have been a lot. Yet Liu Chen managed to absorb it all in just two weeks? maybe others will think of him as a monster.

Liu Chen now started to stand up, he immediately stretched his stiff body. "uh, it's aching. How long have I been here?"

Liu Chen started to go out, he saw that the sky was currently dark, meaning it was now night. "i'll go straight home sa-", his speech was not continued. Liu Chen stared around in alarm.

"you guys out..! I know, you guys are hiding..! show yourself!" yelled Liu Chen.

"you're great too yea, can know our whereabouts", someone came out from behind a tree. He was wearing a black robe with a mask that covered part of his face. The mask covers the upper face.

Not only was there one, but there were about 20 people with the same look. Their strength is also seen already at the level of the general even there is an emperor level, although still 2-star.

Liu Chen narrowed his eyes at the group of 20 people, "who are you? why are you here?"

"hahaha, you don't need to know who we are" replied one of them.

"then, what do you want?"

Instantly, they all disappeared from sight.

"oh, you guys want to fight me? alright"

Liu Chen also disappeared. Shortly after, there was a clash of swords and flashes of glint that appeared around Liu Chen were before.

They were extremely fast, but the speed of those 20 people was below that of Liu Chen. What is difficult about fighting them is their cooperation is quite good.

Every one of those 20 people will be hit by an attack, then the others will help.

"their cooperation is quite good. This makes me quite difficult, moreover there are half of them who are already at the emperor level. What do they really want?" inner Liu Chen.

Liu Chen tilted his head to the side as a sword headed towards him. Due to the considerable difficulty against them, Liu Chen immediately used a shadowy move.

Liu Chen's speed grew even more by using a shadowy step. Now he can hurt some of those 20 people.

"so fast" muttered the twenty people. They now took a defensive position and stood in a circle to protect each other.

Liu Chen appeared before them, "you guys think you can survive by changing your positions?"

Liu Chen disappeared again. He suddenly appeared above the sky while grasping his sword. He positioned the sharp sword to the side, then to the front.

"fire element:fire pillar"

Afterwards, Liu Chen threw the sword into the center of the enemy circle. To make the sword stuck in the ground.

The enemy did not know that Liu Chen was above the sky, nor did they know of any danger they were now facing.

After throwing his sword, Liu Chen immediately flew away. "perhaps the one who can survive is the person with the emperor level. That too, will get severe injuries" his murmur.

Before long, from the sword that was stuck appeared a fire that instantly expanded on the surface of the ground. After that, the fire rose into the sky forming a pillar. Those twenty people were also hit by the attack of the fire pillar area.

"aaarr"

"darkl"

Within a few seconds, the pillar of fire instantly disappeared. Liu Chen flew closer. He could see that his sword had become dust. In the place of the pillar of fire, there were 10 people who were seriously injured.

"d-d-d-d-damn it!"

They stood with all their remaining strength.

"i don't have to worry about running out of Qi, because I have the Qi Reversing Pill. This move indeed drains a lot of my Qi" Liu Chen murmured. He began to go down and tread the ground smoothly.

He stared at the 10 people who had struggled to stand up.

"now answer me, why are you attacking me? I don't know you guys at all"

"you think.we'll answer you?" teasing one of them who struggled to stand up. Even though he is in a state of severe injury, he still will not tell anything to the young man in front of him.

"oh that? then you're useless. It's better for you to die", Liu Chen instantly disappeared quickly.

These 10 people were now on alert, they could not resist. They have not even shown their strength. But how else? at first they underestimated Liu Chen. Until they don't attack with all their strength the first time.

But now they could not use all their strength, for they were already severely wounded. Now they regret not having unleashed all their strength.

Because they were seriously injured, it didn't take long for Liu Chen to finish them off. Liu Chen directly threw fire towards the corpse of the corpse. He waited until the body turned to ashes.

After he finished, Liu Chen immediately went towards the house. Because he did not want to wake his parents, Liu Chen walked with a heart when he entered the house. He also hid his existence.

But of course the two young men who lived in his room knew of someone who had entered. But because he felt that the person did not have evil intentions, both ignored him.

Liu Chen immediately cleaned himself up after arriving home. He walked out and sat outside. He was worried that people like the one he was fighting had come back.

So Liu Chen chose to stand guard outside. "actually who are they? what do they want?" inner Liu Chen while looking at the night sky filled with stars.
