Heroes Return

"I will not be manipulated by you!" After eliminating all the enemies, Qige stood still and shouted loudly.

"Great, have they all been wiped out?" Justin, who had been watching from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief. But the situation changed again in his eyes the next moment.

'I acknowledge that you have grown a lot, my son,' a voice rang out in the world.

"So you're finally going to talk to me directly?" Chig shouted angrily.

Forgive me for not being able to speak to you when you were very young, because I was still asleep then, my son.

“I don’t want to hear your voice at all! And I won’t let you control me,” Chig shouted into the air.

"It seems my son and I have a serious lack of communication," the voice continued. "Of course, seeing you become stronger is a good thing for me in itself. After all, a future destroyer of humanity can't function without immense power."

"I will never become someone who destroys humanity." Chig kept looking around.

'Looks like my son's entered his rebellious phase, but that's fine too.' The voice said, and a huge shadow appeared in front of Qige.

As the shadow grew larger, it gradually took on a shape.

Justin, too, stared in astonishment at the shadowy figure's appearance. The shadow slowly materialized into a goat's head in their eyes, though the body was human, with deer legs and goat hooves. A scorpion tail, its tip burning with blue flames, appeared behind the monster.

“It seems we need to have a serious talk, my child,” the monster said to Chig.

But the next second, Qige swung his longsword at the monster.

"You really are an impatient child." The monster's large hand gently grasped the blood-red longsword in Qig's hand, and then with a casual flick, Qig flew towards a tree not far away.

Chig landed on the ground after knocking down the entire tree.

"Bastard!" Chig said angrily.

“You are my son, and your power comes from me,” the monster said to Chig. “Use the power that comes from me to attack me? That’s impossible.”

"Then why don't you try this?" Qige said, and the magic circle in his eyes lit up, and countless energy arrows emitting blue light shot towards the demon in front of him.

"Is this the power you stored in that eye?" The monster's figure suddenly vanished from Chig's sight, and the next moment it appeared beside him. Its large hand grabbed Chig completely.

"This eye is the power your mother gave you, isn't it?" the monster said, looking into Qige's eyes. "The ability to absorb and store magic is why I admire you the most, my youngest son. Among all my sons, you have the greatest potential to become a king."

"I...I won't listen to you!" Chig said with difficulty to the demon before him, "I'll kill you sooner or later to avenge my mother!!!"

"Is that so?" The demon looked at the boy before him and said, "Since you intend to kill me, shouldn't you at least use the power in your arm? Without that power, I can't defeat you at all!"

“I would never use any evil power!” Chig said, struggling.

"Really?" the demon said with some disappointment. "I have less and less time to prepare, so I have no choice but to use every cruel method on my beloved son."

As it spoke, the demon's arm slowly began to tighten: "If you don't use that power, you will die here."

"Even if I die, I won't use it!" Qig spat at the demon in front of him.

"Then I'll have no choice but to kill you and find a new successor," the monster said helplessly, as its hand began to tighten little by little.

"Ah!!" A scream rang out from Qige's body.

"Since you won't use that power, I'll have to find another successor. But don't worry, I'll take back your eye." As it spoke, the monster's hand began to tighten little by little.

Meanwhile, Qig, who was being held captive, began to lose consciousness due to the pressure on his body.

The power that he originally intended to never use, even if it meant death, was triggered by his body's survival instinct and that power itself.

The red pupils began to gradually turn into a light blue.

"Oh? So you're finally willing to accept that power?"

"I...I don't want to use it..." Qig's consciousness began to blur: "His own..."

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Justin, who was hiding in the bushes, also panicked.

"What should I do? What should I do? I can't just watch Chig get killed!! I should go help! But this is so scary!!! No! I can't just watch Chig get killed!! I'm such a coward, but what if I get killed?!" With this endless inner turmoil, Justin hesitated as he looked at the monster.

But his trembling body involuntarily took a step back and bumped into a tree, at which point he felt something on his body.

At that moment, Justin suddenly remembered the can of beer that Lin Jie had thrown to him.

Looking at the demon in front of him, Justin took out the can of beer: "Being dead is better than doing nothing."

Justin then downed the entire can of beer.

"It tastes awful," Justin said, his face slightly flushed. Although still terrified, Justin knew he was now daring enough to charge forward: "The teacher was right, people who drink will do anything!!!"

"Ah!!!! Let him go!!!!" With a scream like a pig being slaughtered, Justin charged toward the monster in front of him.

The monster holding Chig heard Justin's roar and looked at the seemingly powerless boy: "I was planning to kill you after I dealt with my son. But never mind."

As the monster spoke, it casually swung its hand at Justin, and a black sword imbued with blood-red energy pierced towards Justin's body.

Then something unexpected happened to everyone present.

Justin then threw a punch at the black sword in front of him.

Then, something unexpected happened at that moment.

When Justin's fist made contact with the red and black power, the power instantly disintegrated. This disintegration extended to the demon's body.

Qige, who was already in a daze, suddenly felt his body loosen and then he fell to the ground.

When he finally saw what was in front of him, he was shocked to find that the upper body of the powerful demon had disappeared.

Justin stood in front of him, his body still trembling, but he clenched his fists.

"Justin! What are you doing here?" Chig looked at Justin with some surprise, and at the same time he was shocked by Justin's strength. He had actually made the monster's body disappear with a single blow.

Chapter 21

'It seems I underestimated the power that humanity now possesses.' The monster's voice rang in their ears once more.

"Hey, hey, hey? Why didn't you kill him?" Justin looked around nervously.

“How could I kill him so easily!” Chig stood up and said, “If I could kill him in one go, there would be no need for all this trouble! My father is the spokesperson for the devil, and he has many bodies in the human world.”

"What? Then what... what do we do?" Justin asked Chig beside him.

"We can only wait for his body to emerge, and then kill him," Qige said seriously. "How many times can you use that power?"

“Anytimes is fine…it’s just a normal punch,” Justin said.

“What a freak,” Chig said to Justin. “So you’re the strongest person in the whole class.”

"I...I...actually I..." Justin couldn't finish his sentence.

Three goat-headed demons appeared before them in a row: "Humans actually possess such powerful and terrifying strength? What an interesting power."

As they spoke, magical light simultaneously emanated from the three demons.

Justin glanced at Chig, who was still swaying, and with a determined heart, charged towards the three demons. But the next moment, he was shocked to find that he couldn't move his legs.

Two dark shadows had somehow wrapped around Justin's legs, and cold sweat immediately broke out all over him. Then, two enormous shadowy monsters appeared beside Justin, grabbing his arms.

“I’m very interested in the destructive power you possess. Would you mind if I studied your body?” the goat-headed demon said, grabbing Justin’s hand. “Perhaps you could become a good puppet.”

As he spoke, a hand flashing green light reached out to grab Justin's head.

Looking at the green hand, Justin couldn't help but burst into tears. At that moment, the person he thought of was Lin Jie: 'Teacher...you've ruined me!!'

"Justin!" Chig cried out and rushed toward Justin, but as he moved, another goat-headed demon grabbed him again.

"This person just saved your life," the goat-headed demon said mockingly to Qig. "But you don't seem to have any intention of saving him at all, even though you have the power to do so."

"Damn it! I'll kill you!" Seeing Justin in danger, Chig couldn't care less about anything else. His eyes were once again filled with a blue light!

“Yes, yes, that’s it! You should have used this power a long time ago.” The goat-headed demon looked at the changes that were happening to Qig with some excitement.

"Heh, use your second uncle's voice." A somewhat lazy male voice inexplicably appeared in the goat-headed demon's ears at this moment.

"Who?" Upon hearing the voice, the three goat-headed demons all exclaimed in surprise.

Before he could make any further reaction, a man carrying an iron bar appeared in front of the goat-headed demon who was holding Justin.

"You fiend, take this from Old Lin's staff!!" the man shouted, striking the goat-headed demon with lightning speed. The tall, terrifying goat-headed demon was sent flying by Lin Jie's blow.

Justin, however, was standing perfectly fine in the same spot.

“Teacher…” Justin looked at Lin Jie with snot and tears streaming down his face.

“Even though he’s crying like this, he hasn’t peed!” Lin Jie said after carefully observing Justin. “That makes sense, all the moisture is coming out of his diaper.”

"Teacher!" Qige couldn't help but shout, "Teacher, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen wisps of black mist appeared at Lin Jie's feet and began to crawl up his body.

The ram-headed demon that Lin Jie had knocked away with his staff stood up again.

"Are you their teacher, mortal?" the goat-headed demon said, looking at Lin Jie.

As he spoke, countless flames erupted from Lin Jie's body: "Every mortal who tries to interfere with my plans will suffer a terrible punishment."

"Is that so?" Lin Jie calmly swung the iron rod in his hand. The flames and shadows around him were swept away by the rod, and then Lin Jie appeared next to the goat-headed demon.

However, the goat-headed demon was clearly a seasoned mage. As Lin Jie approached, a huge shadowy monster rose up in front of him, positioned perfectly to block Lin Jie's attack.

At the same time, he was also prepared to immediately unleash a powerful spell on Lin Jie.

Lin Jie's iron rod slammed down on the shadowy monster in front of him, while a dark green light flickered in the goat-headed demon's palm.

However, the goat-headed demon underestimated Lin Jie's strength. The iron rod in Lin Jie's hand vanished in an instant. The next moment, the goat-headed demon and the monster in front of him were simultaneously cut in half at the waist.

The other two goat-headed demons remained completely expressionless. Simultaneously, they unleashed terrifying green power from their hands, shooting it towards Lin Jie. Although they had lost a body, they had gained a powerful angle of attack. In their view, killing Lin Jie was enough. The child named Justin might be a threat, but it was clear he couldn't fight, and Chig's power was ineffective against him.

But just as the green energy was about to strike Lin Jie, Lin Jie's figure vanished from the spot.

The next moment, Lin Jie appeared in front of Qi Ge. He withdrew his staff, and the arm gripping Qi Ge was knocked off by Lin Jie's staff. Giving the goat-head and the demon no time to react, the iron staff in Lin Jie's hand flew horizontally.

Suddenly, a sheep's head rolled to the ground.

Being able to sever the head of this body was not surprising to the goat-headed demon, but what truly surprised him was the connection between him and the body. Normally, a severed body part could still perform various movements, but the body parts that Lin Jie severed were directly disconnected from him and slowly dissipated into the air.

The last remaining demon looked at the staff in Lin Jie's hand with some surprise: "I've heard of that staff of yours in the ancient East."

"I don't care if you've heard of it or not." Lin Jie swung his staff at the horned demon in front of him from a distance: "How dare you molest my student here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

At the same time, the power contained in Lin Jie's blow caused the ram-headed demon to give up dodging and resistance.

Because he knew there was no way to dodge Lin Jie's blow; it contained a power known as the True Martial Realm. A thousand years ago, one of his avatars in the ancient East had the good fortune to witness such power.

To be honest, he still can't understand the power that martial artist possessed back then. There were no specific moves, no force restricting your movements. But when you actually do something, you find yourself completely unable to dodge.
