Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1526:
Chapter 1526:
“King Baihu, please calm down! The statues contain so-”
Long Chen tried to explain his side, but before he could even finish, the White Tiger King jumped to him.
He was so furious that he didn’t even wait for an explanation. His daughter was kissed right before his eyes. He couldn’t let it pass, no matter who Long Chen was.
Moreover, he didn’t need Long Chen anymore. He already had the information he needed about the one who was sleeping here. Now he could be careful when going inside. He didn’t need Long Chen anymore since that guy couldn’t help him.
He had no use of Long Chen, yet he let Long Chen accompany him since that guy had helped his daughter. He was even willing to give some rewards to Long Chen but not anymore. Now the only reward he was willing to give him was death.
Long Chen was also wholly healed so he was in a better condition than he would’ve been if he had fought the White Tiger King before. He could use his laws which allowed him to give him some basic protection.
He disappeared, avoiding the attack of the White Tiger King. He appeared in front of the Maze of Death, so the back of the White Tiger King was to be in the direction of the Statues behind him.
Even though his own life was in danger, Long Chen didn’t want the statues to be broken… That was going to be a disaster of epic proportions. He could face the White Tiger King, but the Spirit of the first Demon God or the Heavenly Emperor was something he couldn’t take.
The White Tiger King called forth a spear made of his purest energy. At the same time, his aura pushed down on Long Chen to keep him from moving.
At the same time, the old man also cast a domain around him. The color of the surroundings changed, turning into a reddish hue.
“You think I have faced people who can use teleportations? In my domain, you can’t use any such skills. If I can’t even kill a brat with teleportation, you think I would’ve been strong enough to face your gods?”
Just as the man had stated, Long Chen couldn’t teleport. He tried to use his skill, but it didn’t work. None of his laws were working. Even the Shadow Transformation was being blocked. There was something in the surrounding which was obstructing his laws from acting.
The White Tiger King prepared his soul Weapon. He prepared his spear, but he didn’t toss it immediately as a young lady stepped before him.
Baihu Ling stepped before her father, holding her Soul Weapon. “Father, stop it! This isn’t the way to do anything! He saved my life! You can’t take his life! I won’t let you.”
“You don’t know what you’re speaking. Step aside.” The White Tiger King once again ignored his daughter, but this time he didn’t just push her aside.
A prison made from his own energy appeared around the young lady, surrounding her from all sides. The man also did the same with Xun. He sealed both of them in her Dao Prison.
The prisons flew in the air, moving far away from him.
“Evil Souls rest in the statue! I’ve been trying to stop them from being destroyed! At least listen to me! I didn’t intend to kiss your daughter either! I lost my balance. The only reason it all happened is because you attacked me. I wouldn’t even fall on her otherwise!”
Long Chen declared, finally getting an opportunity. The small distraction had given him enough time to keep his side of the story.
Baihu Ling heard him and finally understood why he would try to stop the old man. As for Xun, she wondered what Dark Spirits were in the statues? She didn’t know about anything like that. Did Long Tian tell her?
“You did craft a good story with your life on the line, but that’s not enough. You aren’t scared of Spirits, and neither is my daughter from what I heard about your battles before. Even if the statues have an evil spirit, that shouldn’t have been a threat to you. Moreover, I was only trying to touch and not break them.”
“Your story doesn’t make sense at all. Now go ahead, make up some story about the souls belonging to gods? Since you’re already making up stuff to escape your fate, make it about gods.”
The White Tiger King didn’t seem to believe one bit of Long Chen’s story, partially because he was angry at him, but even more so because his mind was clouded by what he had seen. The man had literally assaulted his daughter. Even if he was telling the truth, it was a crime worth death.
Long Chen realized that much. The old man just didn’t want to let him live. He was going to do whatever he could to kill him, even if he was telling the truth.
“Long Chen, I think we might be in trouble at a good moment,” Long Tian stood beside Long Chen, but he couldn’t help. He was only in Spirit Form, after all.
“Yeah, he just doesn’t want to listen to us. No matter what we do, we can’t convince him. The only way to convince him would be to defeat him.”
“Do you think you can? He is literally what stands at the peak of the World. If I’m not wrong, he stands at the Peak of Martial God Realm. As for you, you’ve just stepped foot on the realm. Even with everything you have, it won’t be useful. The Dark Sacrifice will also not help here. Instead, it’ll only take away your sanity and make you weak in the long run.”
“What are you suggesting then? If that’s your attempt at boosting my morale, then you’re doing a really bad job. You know, right?” Long Chen frowned. “Even I can see the problems, but if there’s no solution, what else can I do but fight?”
“We can go inside the Maze of Death. I doubt he would chase after us in that place? And even if he does, we can lead him to a dead end. That should weaken him a bit,” Long Tian suggested.
“That is also risky. If we end up at a dead-end which killed the Ice Phoenix queen or something even worse, I’ll have to face something much worse than White Tiger King, won’t I?” Long Chen refused the suggestion.
“The risk isn’t worth it. It’s much better to fight since that does give me a winning chance at least. Even without my Laws, I have the Sword of Time. Unlike before when I was hurt, I can use it now. It can even absorb the Origin. Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Long Chen inquired, flashing a bright grin.
Long Tian’s lips parted as he realized what Long Chen was implying. “You want to use the White Tiger King?!”
