Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1502
Long Chen kept moving through the maze, selecting paths with the help of Terra. With each selection, he believed he was moving closer to the exit. Moreover, now that he didn't need to worry about ending up in any trap, he even called out Xun. While moving, he explained everything to Xun about where they were and how they were planning to get out of this place.
Fortunately, Xun understood what he was saying without too much explanation. She had also heard about the maze of death, and she knew what it was.
"So this place definitely belongs to Tian Shen. I was really hoping that wouldn't be the case because if it is, that means we are moving towards the danger."
"What moving towards the Danger? We are moving towards freedom. Don't worry about a single thing. We just need to get out of the maze. If we were in the maze, I don't think Tian Shen would've set any more traps. That man would probably be confident that no one would get through the maze. If I'm not wrong, this is the first and the last trap," Long Chen responded.
"As soon as we pass through this place, we should end up where Tian Shen rests. I don't know if he'll be up or asleep, but this risk is worth it. Before he comes to us, I need to go to him," he further added, laughing. "Moreover, what other path do we have? We can't go out of this maze. We can't go back. We can't even teleport out. We can only go to the end. The only way out must be at the end of the tomb."
Even though Xun was confident, for some reason, she was still scared of Tian Shen. Before, when she was still under the illusion, she used to think that he was a good guy. She thought of herself as the teacher but only after coming to her senses with the help of Long Chen did she realize the truth that she was wrong.
Not only was she not the teacher of Tian Shen, but it was completely the opposite. He was the one who made her and that ring which only went to show how strong he actually was.
As far as Xun knew, Tian Shen was stronger than any God Beast. Long Chen currently wasn't even strong enough to face the White Tiger King, let alone Tian Shen. Moreover, with the absence of his laws, he was even weaker. She couldn't understand where he was getting good confidence from. What was his plan?
Long Chen was just defeated by the Rainbow Phoenix even when he was at his strongest, and now that he was at his weakest, he was going to face someone as strong if not stronger?
"Stop overthinking. As I said before, we have no other way. Since that's the case, we might as well go all the way. We can either go in fear and depression, or we can go with confidence, hoping for the best. I'm choosing the latter obviously." Long Chen patted the shoulder of Xun.
He could understand why she was scared. Even he was somewhat worried but not as much as her. He didn't know Tian Shen. He had only heard about him. On the other hand, Xun saw. So he could understand where she was coming from.
At another intersection, Long Chen stopped. There were twenty paths ahead. He let Terra take the lead. Terra selected the first path this time which was going left and entered. Long Chen also followed him, but as soon as he turned, he saw an attack coming toward Terra from the front.
He called out his King's Sword and dashed ahead to block the attack which came from another sword ahead.
A woman was coming in their direction when she saw Terra, and she decided to attack immediately. The White Tiger Princess didn't even take a second before deciding to attack.
Unfortunately, she didn't expect that someone was with the group who was even faster than her. Long Chen appeared before Terra and blocked the attack with his King's sword. Despite the block, the attack was still so powerful that it managed to push Long Chen back.
Long Chen's body flew back, hitting Terra. Both of them fell in the distance. Terra was the most affected from the clash though, as his head hit the wall in the back. His head started bleeding as he lost his consciousness.
"Terra!" Long Chen called out as he dashed to him. "Xun, help him. He's bleeding. He's still alive."
Xun also ran to Terra. She brought some pills out of her storage ring and placed them in the mouth of Terra.
"A demon, a human, and a... Whatever that is... I thought I was going to come across Dragons. So you three are the ones who killed my people?" The White Tiger Princess exclaimed as she realized how weak these people were. "That can't be. You are so weak. Who are you?"
"You're wrong. We didn't kill your people." Long Chen stood up after making sure that Terra was alive.
He gazed at the lady in the distance. "You almost destroyed our hopes of being able to get out of the maze of death. It's because of you he is hurt. It's also because of you that I'm angry."
"You are right. We didn't kill your people. It wasn't us who did it. Instead, it was me." Long Chen declared.
"You? A demon who can't even block a simple attack from me killed our powerful soldiers all alone?" The White Tiger Princess burst into laughter. "Tell me the truth. Who did it?!"
"And what do you mean by your only way to get out? That man? Why is he so special?" she further asked.
"He alone is more important than ten of you. As for why you don't need to know that, because you'll be dead soon." Long Chen was already infuriated.
Without wasting a second, he shot straight to the lady before him. He didn't want her to have a chance to attack him.
Aiming his sword straight at the heart of the woman, Long Chen flew to her. The woman didn't seem to mind the attack. She stood in her place as if waiting for an attack. She was very perceptive. She could feel that there wasn't any threat in that attack. She could easily block the attack without much care.
"As I said before, you don't have enough strength. Your bluff won't work on me. Are you the guides brought here by the Dragons?"
