"Xu Han, what are you doing? Catch up." Qingqing noticed he was falling behind and called back.
This man glanced at Qingqing, then at Chu Tian.
Without a word, he stopped at that moment, turned, and shot off in the opposite direction.
"Xu Han…!" Qingqing cried out in alarm.
His actions drew everyone's attention, and Chu Tian stopped.
He looked back, and Hong Jie frowned slightly.
Qingqing stomped her foot and followed.
Xu Han was her man; how could she not be anxious?
Chu Tian stood there, narrowing his eyes.
He had noticed long ago that Xu Han was abnormal, his gaze strangely odd.
He hadn't expected him to cause trouble at this moment.
Hong Jie wanted to stop Qingqing, but Chu Tian restrained her.
"Let's wait. She'll come back."
Although Qingqing appeared thoughtless, she was actually very cunning. She wouldn't leave with Xu Han for the sake of romantic entanglement.
Chu Tian had promised them he would lead them out of the Demon Realm, and he certainly had his methods. But Xu Han didn't believe him, essentially deserting at a critical moment.
If he wanted to find his own way, then let him. Whether he lived or died had nothing to do with Chu Tian.
The two figures, pulling at each other, gradually disappeared. Hong Jie's expression was grim.
On the surface, Chu Tian appeared calm, but in reality, he was in the Divine Platform space, inventorying items.
Looking at the missiles packed in shockproof boxes, which occupied almost his entire Divine Platform, he felt a surge of excitement.
Just as he was contemplating whether to give these enemies of humanity, the demons, a missile to test its power, a figure suddenly fled frantically in their direction.
"They seem to be back!" Hong Jie narrowed her eyes.
Hearing Hong Jie's words, Chu Tian's consciousness returned to his body. He immediately saw a figure in the distance, staggering as they flew towards them.
And behind him, a creature four to five meters tall, all gray and white, with a pair of giant bat wings.
"Demon?" Chu Tian frowned.
"Demon?" Hong Jie and the others exclaimed in shock upon hearing his words.
Their cultivation wasn't high, so they couldn't see as clearly as Chu Tian.
"Yes, Xu Han is being followed by a demon, and Qingqing… is gone!" Chu Tian said coldly.
"That damned fellow, I'll go kill him. You guys run, I'll lure the demon elsewhere!"
The man beside Hong Jie spoke the least among them.
Since Chu Tian had met them, he had only spoken three sentences.
He then made to rush out.
However, Chu Tian waved his hand and stopped him.
"Brother Huang Mei, let me go! It's just a demon. I'll also look for Qingqing. You all stay here and hide…!"
As Chu Tian spoke, his body flickered, and he vanished from his spot.
Hong Jie and Huang Mei, however, were greatly alarmed.
They feared that Chu Tian might not be a match for the demon.
They still couldn't clearly discern the demon's level.
They could only see two shadows moving towards their direction, one in front and one behind.
If Chu Tian was defeated, he was carrying the intelligence wax pellets for all four of them. In that case, even if they returned to the Yanhuang Domain, it would be a wasted trip.
On Chu Tian's end, he made several instantaneous movements, each covering over ten kilometers, finally appearing behind Xu Han.
Upon Chu Tian's appearance, Xu Han was startled. However, seeing it was Chu Tian, he didn't say a word, nor did he reduce his speed, continuing to fly forward.
Seeing his demeanor, Chu Tian ignored him. This fellow was already a dead man in Chu Tian's mind.
When he fled earlier, Chu Tian could have assumed he was afraid of death, didn't trust him, and thus left to find his own way to hide in the Demon Realm.
Chu Tian believed that in such a vast Demon Realm, he could find a secluded mountain forest, live a difficult life, and still have a way to survive.
However, his current behavior was outright betrayal.
He was luring the demon towards them, his intention being to catch up to them and redirect the disaster.
Not only was Xu Han leading the demon to Chu Tian, but he also completely disregarded the safety of Hong Jie and Huang Mei.
Even the fact that he had run back and Qingqing was missing…
It was possible that he had done something that put Qingqing in danger, or even… that she had already perished.
At this moment, Chu Tian appeared.
Xu Han fled, and the gray-white demon, seeing another person appear and block its path, did not slow down its speed at all.
It charged directly at Chu Tian.
In the demon's perception, human bodies were pitifully weak.
With its high flying speed, if it collided, this ant-like human would surely die.
Boom…!
Bang…!
However, a loud noise erupted.
The demon's massive form, as if crashing into a mountain.
The next second, its body somersaulted in the air, smashing a huge pit into the ground.
Chu Tian's divine song floated in the air, and he flicked his hand.
Looking at the creature sprawled in the pit below, he curled his lips.
"Damn it, comparing physical bodies and strength with me, are you even worthy?"
Chu Tian hadn't used too much force just now, yet this creature was sent flying with a slap to its face, which was as large as a washbasin.
However, it had to be said that demons were truly resilient. If it were a human, even a light slap from him would have turned their head into a smashed watermelon.
"Roar…!!!"
Chu Tian thought the creature was dead and was about to look into the distance to search for Qingqing.
The demon lying in the pit twitched, suddenly stood up, and let out an angry roar.
"Huh? Not only is it not very resistant, but its vitality is also quite strong!"
Chu Tian couldn't help but re-evaluate the demon's strength.
The gray-white demon was the lowest level of existence among demons.
That slap just now hadn't killed it.
Then, wouldn't a purple-black top-tier demon be practically immortal?
Chu Tian's mind reeled at the thought. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful creature.
"Damn human, I'll tear you apart…!"
The demon suddenly leaped into the air with a whoosh, its flying speed extremely fast.
Chu Tian was stunned again. Its speed chasing Xu Han wasn't this fast earlier. Could it be that this creature was playing a game of cat and mouse?
It could have captured Xu Han long ago but had been toying with him.
"As you wish!"
Chu Tian saw the demon flapping its wings, its two strong arms extending, reaching out to grab him.
Its claws were different from human hands, with only three fingers. The fingernails were longer than the palm, and a sharp aura faintly emanated from them.
Chu Tian uttered four words and also extended his arms, reaching out to make intimate contact with the creature's palms.
His action stunned the demon.
This was the first time someone had dared to fight a demon like this, making it very uncomfortable.
Shouldn't these weak humans be wielding weapons, fleeing, and engaging in guerrilla warfare, or perhaps harassing from a distance with spells?
Why was this fellow extending his hand as if to… shake hands?
"Aoo…!"
Before this thought could fully register, searing pain shot up its arm, and it cried out in agony.
