Rise Of The Demon God Chapter 1373 - 1373: Lawless

Chapter 1373 - 1373: Lawless

The city looked like any ordinary city which had small houses. No house had a second floor. Every building was small.
There were no large structures or towers, which was somewhat odd. Most of the cities had some tall structures, towers, and other things. However, this city only had some ordinary houses.
Frowning, he took his first step inside the city.
"Help!"
As soon as Long Chen stepped inside the city, he heard someone's scream. It sounded like a woman was screaming out loud.
He flew in the direction. It was coming from an alley.
He was slightly surprised as he reached there. Many people were walking on the streets, but none of them stopped even after hearing the screams.
Did no one care? He landed inside the alley.
At the end of the alley, there was a bald man holding the hand of a lady.
Pieces of the lady's clothes were lying everywhere. Her clothes were torn, leaving her without any clothes. The man was pulling the woman closer to her while she was resisting.
"You disgust me," Long Chen said, shaking his head.
He formed a Qi Knife and tossed it towards the bald man.
"Argh!" The knife penetrated the skull of the man, which made him scream out loud. His grip weakened, and the woman was freed.
The woman looked at Long Chen in the back. She walked to the side to quickly pick up the shred of her clothes to cover herself as much as she could before standing back.
The man, on the other hand, dropped to the ground, lifeless.
"Are you alright?" Long Chen asked the lady.
The woman nodded her head. "T-thank you so much."
"It's alright. Anyway, I think your clothes are destroyed. I have some spare. You can wear them. And after that, I want to talk to you about this place.
The woman nodded her head and stepped closer to Long Chen while converting her body.
She took the clothes from Long Chen but didn't leave. Instead, she looked at Long Chen with gratefulness in her eyes.
"T-thank you so much. You're the nicest person I saw!" She stepped forward and tightly hugged Long Chen.
"It's nothing. You don't have to- hmm?" Long Chen grabbed the lady by the neck and threw her towards the wall ahead.
The woman's head hit the wall and started bleeding. Something fell out of her hand, falling to the ground.
The small metallic thing that fell was a knife. As Long Chen was keeping an eye on his surroundings, he was able to see what was happening behind him as well.
He had seen the girl bring a knife out, which was hidden between the pieces of the clothes she had picked up. She was just about to stab the knife on his neck.
The woman's head hit the wall, and she dropped to the ground, bleeding.
"I helped you, and you tried to kill me?" He stepped closer to the woman. However, he didn't need to kill her. He was already dead.
"This is so stupid. Such a crazy woman. Attacking me for no reason. Here I wanted to ask her about this city, and there she was, thinking about killing me." He shook his head.
"I need to find someone else to answer me. At the same time, I need to do something about this bottle too. What is the importance of it in this trial?" turning around, he observed the bottle.
"Huh?"
Seeing the bottle, a frown developed on his face. "Was it always there?"
He didn't know why, but he could see a small speck of red inside the bottle. "I am sure this red speck wasn't inside before. How did it get it? The bottle is sealed?"
As he was lost in his confusion, a man came from the other side.
"What are you doing here? Hah, you killed these two? Oh god, do you have any idea what you did? You're so going to die, brother. I don't want anything to do with you. Don't tell anyone I was here!"
"Huh?" Long Chen turned back as he saw the man turn around. "Wait. What are you talking about?"
"Seriously? Bro, don't tell me you really don't know. Heck, what am I even doing? If anyone sees me, I'll be in trouble as well."
"Nothing will happen to you. Just tell me what it's all about."
"Nope. There's too much risk. It's not worth it unless you can give me something to make it worthwhile for me," the short man replied.
"Give you something?" Long Chen asked, frowning. "How about I give you your own life?"
"What do you mean?" The man asked.
Long Chen's figure flickered as he appeared before the man. "What I mean is that I'll kill you if you don't tell me the truth. Tell me what it's about?"
He also placed a sword made purely of energy on the neck of the man.
"You won't kill me. If you do, you'll certainly die. No one will be able to tell you anything. If you really want me to help, tell me something to make it my worthwhile."
"You sure you want to test that theory? I mean, I already killed two people. I don't think three would affect to the level that two won't," Long Chen smirked.
"Ah..." The man was stunned.
"So, are you going to answer me first, or should I kill you and ask someone else?" Long Chen asked.
"I-i-i..."
"Stop stuttering and answer me. What's this place? And what were you talking about?"
"We can't talk here. Let's get away from the bodies as fast as we can before someone sees us. Come with me!" The man finally gave up.
He started escorting Long Chen through the road.
As Long Chen walked through the road, he saw many things. There were people looting shops. In another place, an old man was being beaten on the street.
A woman just stole the purse of another lady and ran away. At the same time, another man was seen making a kid wash his shoes.
"This place is lawless..." Long Chen muttered.
"Lawless? What do you mean? It's pretty ordinary," the man answered Long Chen.
"Ordinary? You mean all this?" Long Chen asked. "Looting, beating, forcing people... All of that is fine but me killing them is a big deal?"
"Hey! Why don't you keep your mouth shut! Don't tell everyone what you did! You'll get me in trouble as well!" The man exclaimed, telling Long Chen to keep his mouth shut. "Also, don't look in the eyes of anyone. Only focus on me! Or you'll get in big trouble!"
"Trouble..." Long Chen let out, shaking his head. These people were no trouble to him.. Most of them didn't even have cultivation.
