Rise Of The Demon God Chapter 1374 - 1374: Scheme

Chapter 1374 - 1374: Scheme

He didn't have to worry about trouble with such people, at least.
Despite that, he listened to the man's advice and didn't look at them. Instead, he used his spiritual sense to keep an eye on his surroundings.
The more he walked, the more he watched such things happen. There were just no morals here. Anyone could do anything. In some places, a group of women was beating some men who weren't resisting. One of those women even stabbed a man in the end.
"What is your name?" The man asked Long Chen.
"Long Chen," Long Chen replied. "How should I address you?"
"Call me Arin," the man responded.
He kept taking Long Chen with him, ultimately entering another alley. The alley this time wasn't a dead end. The other end of the alley had a door which was closed though.
Arin reached the door and knocked on it exactly five times.
Three knocks came from the other side. Arin again knocked three times.
Tap~
A metallic sound came from the other end of the door. The door closed.
"Go inside. I'll go check once again to see if no one followed us."
"It's alright. I'll wait," Long Chen answered, saying no.
"Nonsense. Don't waste time. Go inside and meet up with my friends. They already know I brought you since only I know the password. You'll be safe inside," Arin responded sharply.
"Whatever. I'll go in," Long Chen lazily said, not arguing.
He took a step forward, pushing the door open. He entered.
As soon as Long Chen entered, he cast a barrier around him, made purely of Qi.
Tuck~
Hundreds of arrows hit the barrier before dropping to the ground.
"Not a bad plan, actually. But you chose the wrong target." Long Chen yawned as if he was bored.
Since he was already using his Divine Sense, he was able to see through the door as well. Through the door, he saw the people on the other side preparing to attack after getting a signal from Arin.
It was a proper scheme to have him killed by Arin. Just the target was wrong.
"I guess that's just what this world is like. There are no nice people here. It's the land of the lawless. I can't expect answers by kindness. I need to become lawless too," Long Chen smirked.
"Then so be it." He brought his Qi Sword out of his storage ring.
The Sword didn't need any directions to find the target. It flew straight, taking the heads off of everyone.
The people kept shooting more arrows towards Long Chen, but none had any effect against the Armor.
Close to a hundred bodies dropped to the ground one after another. The entire field was filled with bodies, and no one was left alive.
After finishing its work, the sword came flying back. Long Chen turned around, waiting for Arin to come back.
"Did you finish him?" Arin returned soon, entering the field as well.
"I finished multiple him. Which were you talking about?" Long Chen smirked.
"Y-you?" Arin was shocked after seeing Long Chen perfectly safe. He couldn't understand. How was this guy safe? He soon noticed the arrows under his feet and the dead bodies in the surrounding area.
'This guy... He not only killed everyone so easily but also survived a sneak attack? The first time our trick failed. It looks like he isn't someone that can be killed so easily. He's pretty strong. If I make a gang with him, I might...'
"I-i was asking my friend if they finished telling you about this world. But what happened here? These arrows? Those bodies? Don't tell me those idiots attacked you? They must not have understood my signal," Arin said, taking himself out of this scheme.
"Maybe they didn't understand my signal. I should've come with you directly. I take responsibility! Please forgive me," he added. "Oh right. How about you sit down? No one will disturb us here. I can safely tell you about this city here."
Arin closed the doors behind him before pointing towards a small house at the end of the field.
"Ah, so it was a misunderstanding. I had a feeling it was something like that. There's no way you would try to kill me," Long Chen said, acting ignorant.
He followed Arin to the house.
Reaching the door, Arin brought out his keys. "This is my house. It's where I live. And it's also where you can live if you want."
He opened the lock and entered the house.
The house from inside was like a very ordinary house. There was one bed, a wardrobe, and some kitchen accessories.
"Take a seat on the bed." Arin pointed towards the bed. At the same time, he picked a chair for himself. He sat on the chair.
Long Chen sat on the bed, facing Arin.
"What's that bottle in your hand, by the way? You've been carrying that empty bottle?" Arin asked.
"This? Huh...?" Long Chen noticed the bottle was different now. There was more of that red speck inside the bottle. It wasn't to that large extent, but it was still clearly visible to someone like him.
'This red thing increased again? What's happening? Is the bottle something that gets filled with it on its own? Or is it because I did something? Other than walking and killing, I didn't do anything. Wait, killing! So that's what it is!'
He had a feeling that he was close to understanding the bottle.
When he had killed the first group of people, this red thing appeared first. Now that he killed more people, it appeared again. There was a good chance it was the trigger.
'Entering the trial, I only received this bottle. And it gets filled when I kill. Is the objective of this trial to fill the bottle completely? By killing people? What kind of trial would it be if that's the case?'
"I need to test this theory!" He stood up.
"What theory?" Arin asked, also standing up.
"I'll be right back. Stay here." He pushed the door open and left the house.
He flew high in the sky, finding the person closest to him. He snapped his fingers, teleporting behind the man. He stabbed his hand in the man's chest, taking out his heart.
After killing the man, he looked back at the bottle.
"I was right. It's getting filled. So I need to kill to pass the trial! But I'd need to kill quite a lot of people if I want to fill even this small bottle. Each kill only gives me a small speck inside."
"Still, I can't do anything. If it's the trial, then I'll just have to go along to get out first.." He kept the bottle in his pocket.
