“No, human, shouldn't you be terrified? Why aren't you afraid of me? Why are you so calm!”
The Lost Demon saw that Xia Yan was different from the humans he had encountered before. He immediately became ferocious, as if suddenly sobered up, or as if he had fallen into a state of madness, roaring out words.
“There's no need for me to be afraid of something like you.”
Xia Yan smiled faintly.
If he had just transmigrated, he would have been terrified upon encountering this Lost Demon.
After all, he was just an ordinary person at that time.
Even if he had encountered the lowest-level Lesser Demon, he wouldn't have been able to resist.
But now, there was no need.
His base strength was comparable to that of a Middle-level Demon. The only thing he lacked was corresponding combat experience.
However, this didn't matter.
With the power of the Phoenix Fire, Xia Yan's margin for error in battle was infinitely increased. Even if he suffered a fatal injury for others, it wouldn't be that serious for him. He could make more adjustments and improve in battle.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! You're too arrogant, human! I hate arrogant guys like you the most! But what can I do? I love smart people the most!”
The Lost Demon seemed to be struggling, both excited and angry. His face, which had been somewhat human, had now turned into a monster, grotesque and terrifying.
“Sorry, whether you like it or not, I really don't want to be remembered by something like you. You're too ugly, you pollute my eyes.”
Xia Yan chuckled: “So, please just disappear.”
“I've decided, I'll let you merge with me. Give me your brain, the rest can be discarded.”
The Lost Demon laughed triumphantly: “I'm so smart!”
Xia Yan shook his head.
This Lost Demon really had some brain problems.
The Lost Demon attacked Xia Yan first. His massive body didn't move, but instead, he spat out a thick, viscous liquid from his mouth.
This liquid was even more terrifying than concentrated sulfuric acid. As long as it touched anything, it would dissolve it.
“So disgusting. Can't Lost Demons have normal moves?”
Xia Yan was also disgusted by this scene. He dodged the attack of the liquid, with great speed, afraid that he would be touched by it.
The liquid landed on the ground, quickly melting it, leaving behind a charred hole that was still smoking as if it had been burned.
Xia Yan glanced at the black hole on the ground with lingering fear. He was glad he dodged in time.
He wasn't worried about getting hurt, but about being touched by this disgusting stuff.
To be honest, Xia Yan would rather take ten Magic Light Cannons than be touched by this thing once.
“From now on, I absolutely won't choose a Lost Demon as an opponent.”
Xia Yan swore to himself.
Too disgusting.
He remembered that the original plot mentioned how the protagonists defeated the Lost Demons.
These Lost Demons were all strange and disgusting, one more bizarre than the last.
Xia Yan still remembered one of them that used its chest to shoot liquid to eliminate enemies.
Too bizarre.
“What are you dodging for!”
Seeing Xia Yan dodging his attack, the Lost Demon roared in anger, then increased his effort, constantly spitting out liquid like a machine gun towards Xia Yan.
Xia Yan's expression changed slightly, and he directly activated the Phoenix Fire.
Flames surrounded him, turning him into a fire god in the darkness.
Xia Yan raised his hand and waved it, and a huge flame instantly billowed out, transforming into a flame barrier about three meters wide.
All of the liquid that was spraying out was vaporized by the flames as soon as it came into contact with the Phoenix Fire.
The Lost Demon stared blankly at this scene, disbelief in his eyes.
“Impossible! How can a human have the unique flames of the Phoenix clan?”
The Lost Demon roared.
“You're pretty knowledgeable!”
Xia Yan was a little surprised.
But then he understood.
The Phoenix clan was one of the remaining seventy-two Pillars of Demon Nobility among the demons, and they had a great reputation among the demons.
Especially after the New Demon faction came to power, they promoted a game called "Rating Game", which further raised the status and reputation of the Phoenix clan.
Almost every demon knew about them.
“Hmph! Human, for the sake of the Phoenix, I'll let you off this time. Don't be so arrogant to me in the future!”
Although the Lost Demon usually had some brain problems, he was very clear-headed when it came to his life.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the Lost Demon decided to turn and flee, but he didn't forget to leave a harsh word before running away.
This human was different from the other humans he had devoured, he had powerful strength.
He was not his opponent. If he continued to confront this human, he might lose his life here.
He had left his original master and become a Lost Demon, enjoying himself for so long. He didn't want to lose his life so easily.
Even more so, he didn't want to be killed by a human.
The Lost Demon turned and fled, diving into the nearby forest.
“Want to run?”
Xia Yan couldn't possibly let this Lost Demon get away. This was a walking 10,000 Dimension Points.
Xia Yan quickly chased after the Lost Demon and dived into the forest.
“You want to catch me, you're dreaming!”
The Lost Demon was very fast, but in the forest, his huge body wasn't very mobile and he couldn't shake off Xia Yan's pursuit.
Xia Yan's physique had been enhanced by magic once, and his speed and stamina were far superior to those of ordinary people, allowing him to barely keep up with the Lost Demon's speed.
“Damn it, if you want to die, I'll grant your wish.”
The Lost Demon stopped in great anger, then his whole body swelled with magic, attacking Xia Yan.
‘Whoosh—!’
Xia Yan approached the Lost Demon, and flames that engulfed the forest gushed out, turning into a surging wave of fire that engulfed the Lost Demon.
After a moment, the Lost Demon's massive body crashed to the ground, lying on the ground, still burning all over. The smell of roasted meat wafted out.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the random task: Defeat the Lost Demon. You have gained 10,000 Dimension Points.”
The system's prompt sounded in his ears, and Xia Yan stopped his urge to go forward and continue to finish him off.
After putting out the flames around him to avoid causing a fire, Xia Yan left the scene at great speed.
After making so much noise, he didn't want to be caught by the locals. It would be another round of trouble if he was.
