Chapter 434, I Can’t Beat Even One of Them
Congratulations!
From today onwards, you are a real adult.
Long Huan’s thoughts wandered for a moment.
In his memories, it seemed he had always been treated like a child by his parents.
Everyone around him treated him like a spoiled little princess, never saying he was like an adult.
For him, the mark of becoming an adult seemed to be that one day of adulthood ceremony.
But now, hearing Sang Zhe say, “You are now a mature adult,” a strange feeling surged in Long Huan’s heart.
“This time, you are choosing according to your own will.”
Sang Zhe said leisurely, “Go grasp the hand you failed to catch last time.”
Although this clumsy performance wouldn’t bring the already dead little sheep demon back to life.
But perhaps, there’s just a tiny bit of possibility.
When you grab my hand this time.
Maybe, you have reconciled with your past self.
Long Huan was silent for a long time.
Long enough that Sang Zhe thought she had fallen asleep when suddenly, her voice came again:
“…You humans are really strange.”
“This matter shouldn’t have anything to do with you, right?”
“You traveled a long way into the demon territory to kidnap me. Shouldn’t the normal plot be you using me to threaten my dad and demanding benefits?”
“Yet you insist on acting like a teacher, lecturing me for so long.”
“And going through all this trouble to put on a show, what do you gain from it? Even if you help me untie my mental knot, what’s in it for you?”
Sang Zhe thought for a moment and smacked his lips:
“I guess… nothing at all.”
“But you see, adults have an obligation to help minors; that’s what being an adult means.”
…But actually.
It’s just because he couldn’t face his conscience for messing up the little princess.
Long Huan was silent for quite a while before suddenly snorting.
“Hmph.”
“Fake humans. I absolutely hate you slippery-tongued folks.”
Upon hearing that familiar spoiled tone, Sang Zhe felt an emotional swell in his eyes.
Great!
Finally, he wasn’t hearing her call him “Zhe Er,” that mushy stuff anymore.
Looks like the talk therapy really worked wonders.
“So, is the little princess still mad at me?”
“Of course!”
Long Huan complained with a pout, “I don’t know what kind of hypnosis you put me under, making me call you ‘child’ like that. It’s absolutely disgusting!”
“Better remember, I’ll make you pay me back double someday!”
“But…” her voice suddenly dropped a little, “…I’ll let it slide for now.”
Sang Zhe: “?”
“Alright, I get it.”
Long Huan said gloomily, “With all that commotion in the north, my dad should’ve already led people to the human territory, right?”
“Hmph. Even though I don’t like you slippery people, this time, I’ll reluctantly persuade my dad.”
…After all.
Because of his mistake, a poor child lost their life.
Long Huan didn’t want to see human families suffer the same disaster.
Hearing her words, Sang Zhe finally let out a sigh of relief.
He sent a message to Zhang Xiaoying via the communication device, reporting safety.
Everything went smoothly.
Now.
The great little Ying can tidy up the fiery aftermath of my harem.
“You really are a useless guy.”
Another familiar sarcastic voice rang in his ears, Nian Nian teased, “Your harem is on fire, and you can only wait for your big wife to rescue you. Are you even a man?”
“What are you talking about?” Sang Zhe replied seriously, “When a harem catches fire, does it fall to me to handle it?”
“That’s all a job for the big wives. Do I need to involve myself in this war of the gods?”
“…Pathetic.”
Nian Nian rolled her eyes but felt relieved inside.
Long Huan’s affection finally shot up to the max at the last moment.
Honestly, if Sang Zhe hadn’t been clever this time, Nian Nian really thought she was going to crash.
Now, she finally saved her face as the system.
“Let’s go!”
With a long dragon roar, the black-scaled giant dragon soared through the clouds, flying away.
Destination—Buqi Mountain.

Meanwhile, at Buqi Mountain.
At this moment, in the north part of Buqi Mountain, it was already a scene of indescribable devastation.
The place where the three big masters had fought before was completely reduced to ashes, not even a speck left. The entire Buqi Mountain range had a massive gap torn open.
In mid-air, the three big masters fought fiercely, shaking the heavens and earth.
Initially, various parties gathered to watch the spectacle, but soon they all fled in fear.
Even the distant demon clan spectators couldn’t help but feel speechless at the sight.
“…Old lady bomb.”
Zhen Fu gazed at the image received from the shadow demon, silently opening her mouth after a long while, “Do you think of these three, one-on-one, who could you beat?”
Hu You also fell silent. Finally, she shook her head slowly:
“At most… I could barely draw with that little girl.”
“Old lion, what about you?” Zhen Fu turned to ask.
“I’d love to duel that sword-wielding human woman.” Xuan Ao said lazily, “I have to admit, these humans do have their strengths. I can’t understand this sword intent, but it’s beautiful and powerful; it might rival my lion claws—”
Before he could finish his sentence.
Suddenly a strand of dispersing sword energy sliced through the air.
It left an ominous, terrifying sword mark across the ground for hundreds of miles in full view of the demon army.
Hu You: “…”
Zhen Fu: “…Your lion claws can slice across from Buqi Mountain to here?”
Xuan Ao: “…”
“Old Zhen Fu, you’re busy mocking others, but which one can you handle?”
“Heh.” Zhen Fu said calmly, “I can’t beat any of them.”
“Why do you look so proud about it!”
“My snake demon clan relies on snake venom; fighting isn’t my strong suit. Why would I send a researcher to the front lines?”
“Alright.” Long Xiao spoke heavily, “The battle hasn’t even started and you’re all boosting others’ morale, destroying your own prestige?”
“Lord, although that’s true, but…” Xuan Ao looked hesitant.
Yes.
From what it looked like, these humans were not weaker than the demon clan.
Even if we don’t mention the three big masters here, the demon cultivators still have Sang Zhe and another big master who hasn’t made a move.
It seems that if the humans were determined to block the demon clan outside Buqi Mountain, even if the demon clan could break into Buqi Mountain, the price would be unimaginable.
“Why worry.”
Long Xiao said impatiently, “Isn’t this why we called for help from the Immortal Pill Lord?”
“Look, with the Immortal Pill Lord’s clever strategy, these three human big masters are already fiercely fighting; soon they will be fighting among themselves!”
“When that time comes, how will two mere demon cultivators fend off my demon clan’s million soldiers?”
“Then, our brave demon warriors will step over Buqi Mountain and flatten every corner of the human land—”
As Long Xiao was excitedly dreaming of the glorious future ahead.
Suddenly, the earth-shattering commotion nearby came to an abrupt halt.
In the shadow demon’s footage, the three human big masters actually stopped fighting at the same time.
Long Xiao: “?”
