Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 381 - 272: One Wrong Word; No Sincerity, No Discussion

Just one move!

Belte had unleashed his strongest Thunderstorm state, an attack comparable to an Ancient One’s, yet Yi Beidou sent him flying with ease!

The few people behind Zeno stared, their mouths slightly agape. For a moment, the scene was utterly silent.

Cheng Zhihong took a deep breath. ’As expected. His power has become even more terrifying since he left Penglai Immortal Mountain.’

What concerned him even more, however, was the attitude Yi Beidou had displayed.

The intensity of that last strike seemed to go far beyond a simple spar.

Even Meng Qianyuan swallowed nervously.

He had expected Belte to reap what he sowed, but he hadn’t thought Mr. Yi would be so merciless.

Zeno’s eyes narrowed as well. He looked toward where Belte had landed, and his expression changed once more.

Belte was lying on the ground, his chest heaving as blood spurted from his mouth and nose. He couldn’t even get back up.

"You two, go check on him."

Zeno said in a low voice to the others behind him.

Cheng Zhihong and another female Divine Sealer immediately moved, running toward the fallen Belte.

When they reached him, their expressions changed drastically. Belte’s arm was bent at an unnatural angle, clearly dislocated. It also seemed he had suffered a significant Internal Injury from Yi Beidou’s Palm Force, and he had already fallen unconscious.

"Damn it! How could he be so heavy-handed?! To injure Belte this badly!"

Seeing this, the female Divine Sealer’s face immediately turned ugly.

It was supposed to be a spar, but Yi Beidou had struck so viciously. It was hard for her not to be furious.

But she had forgotten that their own ill intentions and provocations were the source of all this.

Cheng Zhihong, standing to the side, also looked grim. He knew Yi Beidou’s personality and now more or less understood his attitude.

’He’s a man who responds to reason but not force, whose actions are as domineering as a demon’s. How could he possibly tolerate such a blatant provocation?’

’Just as I feared,’ he thought. ’The worst is about to happen.’

"Let’s go! We’ll report back to the three Celestial Generals. We must make these secular people pay the price!"

The female Divine Sealer said in a low voice. She lifted the fallen Belte and prepared to return to Zeno and the others.

Cheng Zhihong opened his mouth to speak, but at this point, there was no turning back.

"Mr. Zeno, these secular people are vicious and malicious! Just look at Belte’s condition!"

Returning to Zeno’s side, the female Divine Sealer immediately spoke in a low voice, her gaze fixed on Yi Beidou’s group.

When Zeno, Hua Yuanhang, and the others saw Belte’s condition, their expressions shifted slightly.

For someone in the Saint Realm, an injury like this would likely require more than a week of rest to recover from.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Zeno’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Yi Beidou and asked in a low voice.

"It means exactly what it looks like. You all need to understand one thing: you came here uninvited. We didn’t beg you to come. If you want to discuss a partnership, then show some sincerity."

"Cooperation isn’t our only option. You people from the Hidden World have been in seclusion for too long. Do you really think we’re weak and easily bullied?"

Yi Beidou said faintly.

He had originally held some hope for a partnership with the God-Sealing Organization. After all, when Cheng Zhihong and Yuna had first approached him, their attitude had been decent, and they had shown sufficient sincerity.

He never expected the representatives this time would have such an attitude.

It seemed these Secret Organizations looked down on the secular world from their very bones.

In that case, there was no need to continue the discussion. They would not be subjugated.

Even without a partnership, their group had its own ways of getting the information they wanted.

"You had better understand what you’re saying."

Hearing Yi Beidou’s words, a sharp glint flashed in Zeno’s eyes. The Qi and blood in his body surged, and his hair began to stand on end as if a fire of rage was burning within him.

"Now that’s more like it. Did you really think we were begging to work with you? Good. I’d like to see what gives you the right to be so arrogant."

Behind Yi Beidou, Zhou Qingchen’s cold voice rang out. A pure light shot toward the sky as her body turned jade-like, inch by inch, filling her with the aura of a Fallen Immortal.

Huang Tianhu remained silent, but a terrifying roar like that of a primeval behemoth suddenly echoed from within him. Images of mountains, rivers, and Exotic Beasts materialized on his skin, like a Myth brought to life.

Finally, there was Meng Qianyuan. A series of CRACKLES and POPS sounded from his body as his muscular frame expanded once more. A black and red dot appeared between his eyebrows, and he erupted with a ferocious, domineering aura, his entire being exuding a malevolent Demon Nature.

As for Ding Huiyuan, seeing everyone prepare to fight, he calmly began to retreat. His figure grew increasingly blurry and his aura fainter, until he vanished completely, his whereabouts unknown.

"HAHAHAHA!"

Seeing the Donghua Group’s actions, Hua Yuanhang’s expression changed slightly, but Zeno just burst out laughing, his eyes filled with mockery and rage.

"I knew it. The council of elders was right. Secular people are ignorant, arrogant, and full of wolfish ambition. They cannot be reasoned with. It’s just as they said."

"However, you are all sorely overestimating yourselves!"

Zeno stared at Yi Beidou’s group and said in a calm tone.

This time, they had a full three Celestial Generals and five Spirit Officer Level Divine Sealers. Even with Belte severely injured and unable to fight, they still had seven combatants.

Their opponents, however, numbered only five. And one of them was just a junior who had only recently achieved Ascension.
