Demon Emperor
Chapter 44 Meet old acquaintances

Arriving in front of the cave, they stopped.

"Teacher is inside but, I cannot eliminate the illusionary Formation I installed due to my current condition," Xue Jian said.

"Did something happen to her?" ask Han Shu.

"The aura of his life is very small and is fading away. He's like he's dying, "his inner self.

"You'll know when you see it later. Give me three days to recover my wounds," Xue Jian replied with tears suddenly flowing. However, he immediately rubbed it.

Han Shu approached towards the cave and checked the formation. Moments after checking, Han Shu concentrated the Qi energy on his right hand.

"Three days is too long for me, I want to see him quickly. I can destroy it, even if it requires sacrifice," he said.

After the gathered Qi energy had been sufficient, Han Shu directly hit him hard.

Booms!

A moment after the punch hit him, the formation was instantly shattered. It was accompanied by a lot of blood coming out of Han Shu's mouth.

A whuekk!

He vomited the blood until it was not left in his mouth. His right hand was also broken and was bleeding a lot.

"What are you doing!?" Xue Jian who saw him was shocked as well as depressed by what Han Shu had done.

"Why are you forcing yourself? I can open it in three days."

However, Han Shu paid no heed to Xue Jian's words. He went straight into the cave and saw the state of his old friend, Jing Tian.

It was seen that an old man with long white hair was lying weakly on a rock with a cloth mat.

His body was dry wrinkled yet, he was still breathing.

"What happened to him!!!"

Han Shu's anger was overflowing, his Qi energy was out of control to make the cave tremble.

"What's going on here? Boss, we're just getting out of here. Looks like this cave is gonna collapse." The soldier who was carrying Xue Jian panicked.

"No, we stay here. If you want to go put me down." Xue Jian refused.

The soldier then lowered Xue Jian on a rock not far from there and then he dashed out of the cave. Xue Jian sat cross-legged on the rock.

"Sorry boss, I still love my life..."

"Master, calm yourself. I'll tell you what happened to my teacher" Xue Jian said. Since he had lost, he became polite when speaking.

Han Shu eased his anger slowly and the cave stopped shaking.

"You don't need to tell it, I'll ask you directly," Han Shu said.

"But how do you ask? The teacher has been asleep for ten years." Xue Jian wondered.

Meanwhile, without listening to Xue Jian's words, he examined Jing Tian's body.

When he undressed Jing Tian, half of his body was pitch-black. Only the head and chest were still not black.

"It... Poison. But what poison is this? I don't know at all." Han Shu was shocked after examining Jing Tian's body.

"I'll ask you."

Han Shu then pressed Jing Tian's forehead with his index finger and after that he closed his eyes. A yellow ray of light emerged from Han Shu's index finger and entered into Jing Tian's head.

"It's his subconscious, but where's the guy?"

Han Shu looked for him by coming to the hut. Seen behind his hut, Jing Tian was fishing. He sat on a log holding his fishing rod.

Han Shu approached and stood behind Jing Tian.

"Who are you? What the hell did you get in here for? Come out if you don't want to be here." Jiang Tian was furious and warned Han Shu to come out of his subconscious.

"Alright, I'm going out," Han Shu said.

As Han Shu turned around and wanted to leave, Jing Tian stopped her.

"Wait, this aura... Is that you, Xin Feng?" ask Jing Tian. He turned to look at Han Shu's face however, which he expected did not come true.

"I got the wrong person, your aura is very similar to my old enemy," Jing Tian turned back and focused on his lure.

"Who is your old enemy if I may know?" han Shu asked pretending not to know.

"His name was Xin Feng, he was a strong and ruthless person. He always causes trouble wherever he is. Destroy sects, destroy empires, or anything else."

"He was always looking for enemies everywhere. Maybe tens of thousands even up to hundreds of thousands of cultivators died in his hands. Even people called him the Demon Emperor."

Jing Tian told me about Xin Feng.

"I've fought him even hundreds of times but always lost and I always managed to escape. I didn't know he was letting me go or he couldn't come after me." he continued.

Han Shu then sat down beside Jing Tian and grabbed onto his shoulders.

"It turns out you remember me, I thought you'd forgotten me." Said Han Shu.

Jing Tian was not surprised anymore, he strongly believed that the one beside him right now was Xin Feng. But he made sure of it first.

"It turns out it was you. Well... There can't be anyone who has an aura like you. So, what happened to you? Why are you in this Mortal World?" ask Jing Tian.

"I've died in the World of Gods and incarnated into this body" Han Shu replied as he looked out into the middle of the sea.

"You really managed to get up to nature there. I didn't expect you could do it. How long can you ascend to the World of Gods?"

"Less than a thousand years," Han Shu replied briefly.

"How is possible! You really are a monster!" Jing Tian was very surprised by Han Shu's reply.

"But who killed you? I'm so glad you could die, hahaha." Jing Tian chuckled.

"But now you're here. Are you going to change your life for the better?" jing Tian asked expectantly. His face was sweating coldly.

"I thought I would just reduce it," Han Shu replied after a moment of thought.

"I can't believe your bullshit. But I wish you'd be a good person."

They chatted casually and occasionally they laughed out loud remembering the past.

Suddenly Jing Tian's fishing hook was attracted by the fish. Jing Tian immediately pulled out his fishing rod quickly and found a sizable fish.

"Fishing mania, steady!"

Han Shu simply fell silent, his face exposed to the splashes of sea water from the fish that Jing Tian caught.

"I can't stay here too long because I'm still so weak" Han Shu said.

"Do you want to go?" ask Jing Tian. He wished Han Shu could accompany him a little longer.
