Chapter 317 - Scared Burlock

"Sister Blue, is that guy an idiot? He actually broke his arms. Hahaha!" One of the ladies erupted into peals of laughter as she pointed at Burlock with a mocking look. It was as if she was looking at a clown in a circus.

"I think this ugly demon is a retard..." Sister Blue replied in derision. She wanted to beat up Burlock personally because of his impertinence earlier, so when he saw his current, she was satisfied.

The other ladies covered their mouths as they chuckled.

Looking at their faces, Burlock felt like crying. So that’s why the young human was so confident. The wall of this store must be made of precious metals.

"Argh! Damn you, human! You fooled me! I’ll kill you!" Burlock steadied himself as he glared at Jiu Shen. His face was covered in sweat as a wave of pain swiftly traveled to his body.

"Kill me?" Jiu Shen glanced at the huge demon in amusement. He gently swirled the cup of wine in his hand before downing its content. A look of satisfaction surfaced on his face after drinking the wine.

Seeing Jiu Shen’s nonchalance, Burlock could no longer hold back his rage. Who cares if you’re strong? Who cares if I’m injured? My dignity cannot be trampled by a mere human!

Burlock lifted his foot and abruptly pounced towards Jiu Shen. He swung his leg with the intent of kicking Jiu Shen’s head!

"Die!!" Burlock shouted as he released his kick. The air punctured, creating a huge gust of wind around him.

Jiu Shen was still seated on his chair and his clothes fluttered under the intense blowing of the wind. His long hair danced chaotically, but his expression remained eerily calm.

Just as Burlock’s kick was about to hit his face, time seemed to have slowed down as he raised his left hand. He then pointed a finger towards Burlock’s foot.

Bang!

Hm?!

Burlock’s eyes widened in trepidation as he glanced at Jiu Shen’s finger which had stopped his kick! He then saw the latter flicking his foot with his finger before his large body was thrown outside of the fence. A huge crater was formed where his body dropped!

"Bring him back here." Jiu Shen commanded the ladies.

"Yes, master." One of the ladies bowed before she went to the direction where Burlock was thrown.

Cough! Cough!

Burlock coughed several mouthfuls of blood as he lied motionless on the ground. At this moment, he finally realized that the young human was a peak expert! ’What is such an expert doing in our Morlon City? Is the Rebel Army planning to attack us?’ He muttered in his heart.

In the Crimson Fiend Continent, the Demon Race was the one that ruled over everyone. However, there were a few races who banded together and formed a coalition to fight against them. Some humans experts are also part of this coalition force. They were called ’Rebel Army’ by the demons. Although the overall strength of the Rebel Army was insignificant compared to the Demon Race, they were still able to survive their pursuit by hiding themselves in different locations. Because of this, they managed to survive after thousands of years.

Before Burlock lost consciousness, he saw a beautiful young lady looking at him with a smile. She then pulled him by the leg and dragged him back to the lotus building. ’To think that I, Burlock, would fall under the hands of a mere human...’ Burlock closed his eyes and resigned himself to fate.

"Master, here he is." The young lady pulled Burlock’s unconscious body towards Jiu Shen.

Looking at the demon’s pitiful state, Jiu Shen shook his head. This guy was the first demon that he had interacted with after coming into the Crimson Fiend Continent. Jiu Shen was also satisfied with the guy’s personality and with a little bit of training, he was certain that he could make the demon submit to him willingly.

"Let him consume this." Jiu Shen said as he took out a pill from his space earring. He then tossed it to Blue who was standing beside him. After that, he went inside the new store as he said.

"After making him consume the pill, bring him to the basement and let him rest there."

"Yes, master." Blue acknowledged the order with a bow of her head.

A day later, Burlock slowly opened his eyes and stretched his arms. Wait! My arms!

Burlock shot up from the bed and stared at his healed arms with a stunned expression.

"This... Was everything a dream?" He muttered with a dazed look. He then raised his head and stared at the unfamiliar environment around him.

"This is not my home. Where am I? Could it be... is this heaven? No! I am a demon, so I should be in hell, but is hell really as nice as this?" Burlock stood up with a dumbfounded look. Nothing around him was familiar and it was the first time he had been here.

The room was clean and immaculate. There was not even a speck of dust around. Heck! He could even see his ugly reflection on the wooden floor.

"Where am I?" He muttered as he walked towards the door. He might be able to find a clue if he steps out of the room.

Creak.

When the door sprung open, what he saw made his jaw drop to the ground.

In front of him was a huge hall with hundreds of neatly arranged tables and chairs. Precious Origin-rank spiritual plants placed in a pot can be seen all over the room. He craned his neck to the side and saw a human seated calmly on a chair. The sight of this human almost made him leap in fear.

"It’s you! Who are you?!" Burlock pointed at Jiu Shen with dread, but he hurriedly retracted his arm in fear that the other party might break his arms again.

He had experienced Jiu Shen’s might and he no longer dared to look at him in the eye. Such an expert, even if he was an enemy, would still be admired by the demons.

"Everyone in the Profound Dragon Continent calls me ’Sect Master Jiu’, but you can also call me ’Wine Master Jiu Shen’. I am the owner of this wine store." The young man answered in a voice devoid of emotions.
