Chapter 894 Can't Beat or Escape

Ji Fenglie considered himself the best at lightning escape techniques, but no matter how many methods and escape techniques he used, he could not shake off Chen Guan.

Every time he looked back, Chen Guan would float not far from him, like a vengeful ghost haunting him.

Ji Fenglie was greatly shocked. He couldn't defeat the man in a fight, nor could he escape. This man was like a ghost, and his strength was unfathomable.

However, Ji Fenglie was a ruthless man, and he could not admit defeat so easily. He desperately used his escape techniques, intending to wage a war of attrition.

Such movement requires a large amount of vital energy to use escape techniques. He did not believe that the other party had more vital energy than him. He was exceptionally gifted and had more vital energy than the average person. In addition, he had used many rare treasures of heaven and earth, which greatly increased his upper limit of vital energy. His upper limit of vital energy was far stronger than that of an average peak ninth awakening.

His secret realm provides him with an extremely vast amount of vital energy, and ordinary cultivators cannot compete with him in terms of energy expenditure.

Unfortunately, he encountered Chen Guan instead. No matter how much energy he unleashed, Chen Guan simply used the Ghost Immortal Step to lock onto him, and then accelerated his speed with the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

Even if Ji Fenglie escapes to the ends of the earth, he won't be able to shake off Chen Guan.

As Ji Fenglie ran, his expression grew increasingly grim. Eventually, he realized that the opponent's energy seemed inexhaustible.

On the contrary, he gradually became too exhausted, and if this continued, he would probably lose the ability to fight. At that time, he would become meat on the chopping block, at the mercy of his opponent.

"This person's cultivation level is unbelievably high; even a Heavenly King wouldn't be able to match him. During the years I was imprisoned, such a terrifyingly powerful expert actually emerged among humans?" Ji Fenglie's heart was filled with increasing astonishment and doubt.

In the end, Ji Fenglie saw that Chen Guan was following him at a leisurely pace, moving quickly when he was fast and slow when he was slow, as if he was simply toying with him. It seemed that the two of them were not on the same level.

"Why would someone like you bother me?" Ji Fenglie gasped for breath; if he kept running, he'd probably collapse first.

He now believes in his heart that the other party is a powerhouse at the level of a Heavenly King, whose strength surpasses his own.

"I've already said it, I admire you and want to recruit you into my ranks." Chen Guan's breathing was steady, showing no signs of excessive energy depletion.

"I, Ji Fenglie, have roamed the world. Although I may not be invincible, I am still a powerful figure and will never submit to anyone," Ji Fenglie said through gritted teeth.

"Heaven helps those who help themselves. One day you will agree. Until then, I will stay with you," Chen Guan said calmly.

"Follow me if you want, it's none of my business," Ji Fenglie sneered.

“Of course it’s related. I’ll keep an eye on you until you agree to follow me,” Chen Guan said.

"You want to torture me? If you think you can make me submit by using some torture, then you underestimate me, Ji Fenglie. Even if you kill me, I won't even flinch," Ji Fenglie said disdainfully.

"No, I won't torture you. You are someone I have high hopes for, and you will be my right-hand man in the future. How could I torture my own people?" Chen Guan said with a smile. "Not only will I not torture you, but I will also protect you."

"From now on, I will protect you 24/7, preventing anyone from harming you and keeping you from any outside interference. Of course, I will also prevent you from hurting others or doing anything risky. You can live a carefree life... I promise... even if the Heavenly King comes... you won't need to lift a finger... as long as I'm here... no one can hurt you in the slightest..."

“You…” Ji Fenglie’s brow twitched. He wasn’t afraid of Chen Guan torturing him, or even of death. But if Chen Guan really kept an eye on him 24 hours a day, preventing him from doing anything, he would be in real distress.

But he couldn't win a fight, and he couldn't escape either. Ji Fenglie didn't know what to do for a moment.

He suddenly realized that he had completely fallen into this person's rhythm. This person's ability and level seemed to be above his own, and he had no ability to resist at all.

Ji Fenglie thought for a moment and immediately came up with a plan: "Although I, Ji Fenglie, am not some great figure, I will never be manipulated by others. If you really want me to join your ranks, it's not impossible, but you must be able to do something that I cannot do before I will willingly follow you. Otherwise, if you can do it, I can do it too, so why should I follow you?"

"Okay, go ahead." Chen Guan had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say anything more.

“There aren’t many people in this world who can catch my eye, and those Heavenly Kings are a few of them. I admit that I am no match for them. If you can kill any one of the Heavenly Kings, I will immediately swear to follow you and never betray you for all eternity. Otherwise, I will die a terrible death.” Ji Fenglie was deliberately putting Chen Guan in a difficult position.

No matter how powerful Chen Guan is, killing the Heavenly King would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Not to mention how terrifying the Heavenly King's strength is, there are many powerful people in the ten major families, and it is not something that one or two people can break through.

The reason why Ji Fenglie was able to suppress the Ji family by himself was not only because the Ji family no longer had a Heavenly King, but also because Ji Fenglie came from the Ji family and knew that the Ji family was a disorganized mess. They all came from the same source, so he could use targeted methods to restrain them.

If it were any other family, Ji Fenglie would never dare to provoke them alone.

"Kill a Heavenly King? Haha." Chen Guan laughed again, his laughter wild and unrestrained, as if mocking Ji Fenglie's ignorance.

"Bluster won't work on me. If you don't dare to kill the Heavenly King, then get out of my way and don't waste my time," Ji Fenglie said coldly.

"Killing one Heavenly King isn't enough. Perhaps you should inquire about what kind of person I, the Great Demon, really am." Chen Guan immediately launched into a deceptive act.

"What? You killed a Heavenly King?" Ji Fenglie was somewhat surprised. Judging from his implied meaning, it seemed that he didn't even put the Ten Heavenly Kings in his eyes.

“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you. My name is Qingbai. You should find out more about it first.” Chen Guan said nothing more.

No matter what Ji Fenglie said, he remained silent and ignored him, instantly turning into a blood mist and disappearing.

"I want to see who you really are." Ji Fenglie gritted his teeth, intending to find out who this Qingbai, who claimed to be the number one demon in the world, really was.

Ji Fenglie first teleported out of the Great Cave Heaven, and after making a few inquiries, he immediately found out information about the Great Demon Qingbai.

Ji Fenglie was somewhat shocked after reading the information about the great demon.

This person had actually stormed the ancestral court, forcing the court chief to abandon the ancestral court and move elsewhere. In the end, it was only after the intervention of the ten great families and the Heavenly Kings that the great demon was beaten to the point of being dead or missing.

If all of this is true, then killing one Heavenly King is indeed not enough for the Great Demon, because he has grudges against all ten major families.

Moreover, there are still prophecies circulating in China from ghost Taoist priests, mentioning things like "Demon Child Heavenly King." It seems that many people believe that the "Demon Child" refers to the descendants of the Great Demon King, while others believe it refers to the Great Demon King himself.
