Chapter 1776 - 1777: Qiao Xue
Lin Chen awkwardly smiled and said, "Of course one can never see enough of beautiful women."
"Are you Lin Chen?" The girl asked coldly.
Lin Chen nodded, "That's right."
Although the girl in front of him was as beautiful as a fairy, she was even colder than Shangguan Wan'er.
"I heard you killed an Immortal Emperor peak expert and two high-rank Immortal Emperor experts from the Mie Tian Sect?" The girl asked indifferently.
However, there was a hint of fervor in her originally chilly eyes.
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
However, Lin Chen was very curious since this matter was only known to a few involved and Ice Spirit Fairy; no one else knew about it.
The girl faintly smiled, "Don't be surprised; Wan Er told me."
"Oh, it's that girl." Lin Chen smiled.
Shangguan Wan'er wasn't a very impetuous girl. Given that she had told this girl, it could be sure the person was trustworthy.
"I still don't know the name of the lady." Lin Chen asked with a smile.
"My name is Qiao Xue, you can call me Xue'er." Qiao Xue said softly.
"Xue'er, quite a nice name." Lin Chen nodded.
"I have a blood debt with the demon clan for killing my father and mother; you avenging them for me by killing their people. Thank you." Qiao Xue said.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Chen's heart ached.
No wonder she was so cold; she carried such a heavy hatred from an early age.
"It's nothing, I just happened to encounter them. They wanted to harm my friends, so naturally, I wouldn't let them go." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Actually, Wan Er really likes you; don't let her down; otherwise, my sword won't show mercy." Qiao Xue coldly said.
Lin Chen was stunned, not expecting the topic to shift there.
Lin Chen awkwardly smiled, not knowing how to continue the conversation.
Qiao Xue said indifferently, "All these years, I have been wandering alone, and although I have killed some demons mixing in the Immortal Realm, those you killed were Demon General and Demon Lord level experts, so you are really strong."
The strength division of the demon clan is quite different from the Immortal Realm; a high-rank Immortal Emperor is equivalent to a Demon General, while a peak Immortal Emperor equals a Demon Lord.
"Not all of those people were killed by me; some were killed by my friends." Lin Chen said with a smile.
Qiao Xue nodded, "This time, the demon clan and our Immortal Realm people entering the Demon Realm are all under thirty years old. Although your strength is rare in the Immortal Realm, I heard the strength of those Demon Realm guys is even stronger; the two Demon Generals you killed are only of medium strength in the Demon Realm."
"Oh, are those guys in the Demon Realm stronger?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
As far as I know, there are four little demon kings in the Demon Realm, namely: Demon King of Heaven, Demon King of Magic, Demon King of Element, and Demon King of Earth. Their strength is equivalent to the peak Immortal Emperor; they are the elite of the Demon Realm. These four people are our biggest opponents."
Lin Chen was shocked hearing this, "You are so knowledgeable about the Demon Realm; could it be that you've entered it?"
Qiao Xue nodded, "I once transformed into a witch and stayed in the Demon Realm for a year."
Hearing Qiao Xue's words, Lin Chen was astonished.
The Demon Realm Lin Chen had been to was connected to the Human Realm, quite different from the Demon Realm Qiao Xue was in.
Qiao Xue's Demon Realm was the old nest of the demon gods, where their strength was even more formidable.
Qiao Xue being able to stay there for a year, showed courage and bravery that Lin Chen admired.
"How strong are these four people?" Lin Chen asked.
Qiao Xue took a deep breath and said, "These four have fought my master, Taoist Tianji, and Real Person of Ten Thousand Swords to a draw."
Hearing Qiao Xue's words, Lin Chen was once again stirred.
Currently, Lin Chen's strength would only fall short against these three major powerhouses, yet these four little demon kings could go head-to-head, showing their formidable power.
"I once fought with the weakest among them, Demon King of Earth." Qiao Xue said in a low voice.
"Hmm!" Lin Chen slightly squinted his eyes upon hearing this.
Qiao Xue actually removed her clothing.
Watching Qiao Xue's action, Lin Chen's cheeks turned red.
"Beauty, I will avenge you; you don't have to be so eager to offer your body as thanks."
Qiao Xue glared at Lin Chen, then revealed her fragrant shoulder to him.
Lin Chen looked and saw a cold palm imprint on her snow-white shoulder.
Seeing that palm imprint, Lin Chen was shocked.
Even though she was a girl, surviving under such a palm let Lin Chen imagine the pain Qiao Xue went through then.
However, Qiao Xue faintly smiled, "That guy didn't gain anything either; I injured his right shoulder with a sword, but his constitution was too strong; even wounded by me, his combat power remained astounding. If I hadn't used some means to escape, I might have fallen in the Demon Realm."
Hearing Qiao Xue, Lin Chen's heart tensed.
Qiao Xue's strength he could sense was at the Immortal Emperor peak.
Her strength, even if he fought Qiao Xue, would be hard to decide a winner, but now the weakest Demon King of Earth managed to wound Qiao Xue easily; it showed how formidable the opponent was.
"Among the four little demon kings, the Demon King of Earth is the weakest; above him, the Demon King of Element, Demon King of Magic are stronger, especially the Demon King of Heaven, whose power is unfathomable," Qiao Xue said with a serious look.
"It seems this battle indeed won't be easy," Lin Chen took a deep breath.
The four little demon kings were so strong that other demon clan members were undoubtedly not ordinary, making this battle a hard fight.
"This time, although all the top disciples of the Immortal Realm have taken action, there are too few who can resist the four little demon kings. The opponent has at least ten strong ones reaching the Demon Lord level." Qiao Xue sighed.
"The major sects with peak Immortal Emperor strength experts should be able to contend with the opponents, right?" Lin Chen said.
Qiao Xue snorted coldly, "If they worked together, there might be a battle, but these guys all have ulterior motives and just can't work in unity, so you better not place hope on them."
"Are there any notable figures in these major sects?" Lin Chen asked.
"Among the strongest sects in the Immortal Realm, there are indeed powerful figures: Li Heihu from the Black Tiger Sect, Little King Wang Miao and Wang Huan from the Heaven Hall, Xiao Jian from Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, whose strength is comparable to ours," Qiao Xue continued.
"Among these sects, we have some old scores with Black Tiger Sect and Heaven Hall; only Ten Thousand Swords Mountain has a relatively good relationship with us," Qiao Xue continued.
"So, besides dealing with the demon clan, we also have to be wary of these people secretly attacking us?" Lin Chen asked.
Qiao Xue nodded, "So, you see, this is truly a blood battle."
"It seems indeed tricky."
Lin Chen's face showed no worry, instead having a passionate look.
The stronger the opponent, the happier Lin Chen was, for only by facing powerful enemies could he better hone himself.
This was just what he needed after newly reaching the peak Immortal Emperor.
Lin Chen raised his head, looking at the distant place shrouded by dark clouds and said, "Demon Realm, I am increasingly anticipating it."
