After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Chapter Twenty: Battle

Suburbs, Dongpo.

A hand emerged from the mouth of the Taotie, holding a soft sword.

The mature woman in the cheongsam beside him stroked her chin, her expression serious.

"I know this guy. He's Bai Yuan, a weapons instructor at Dragon City Academy, and he has a half-mythical bloodline."

Because of his acquaintance with Bai Yuan, from the moment Bai Yuan appeared before the woman in the cheongsam, this person was destined to die.

The Four Fiends are quite famous in the Awakened Ones' circle, and it's unknown what kind of accidents might occur if Bai Yuan is let go.

Dead people, especially those whose bodies cannot be found, are the best at keeping secrets.

The silver-haired loli frowned.

"Have Dragon City's forces gotten involved here too?"

The mature woman in the cheongsam shook her head.

"No, if Longcheng had also intervened, they wouldn't have sent someone like Bai Yuan, who's neither here nor there, to scout ahead of us. Besides, scouting shouldn't involve putting someone right in front of us. Bai Yuan isn't some common demon-level awakened individual; using him as bait would be a waste."

"so."

The mature woman in the cheongsam stroked her chin.

"This Bai Yuan..."

The woman in the cheongsam walked to where Bai Yuan's phone had fallen and picked it up when Bai Yuan had fled in a panic.

"They were probably lured here by someone."

The silver-haired loli gave a cold laugh.

"Indeed, some bastard from who-knows-where hurt me before."

Previously, Chaos was attacked by Zhou Yan's ∞ spirit and ∞ perception, causing it to spit blood from its seven orifices, shatter its internal organs, and turn its flesh into mud. However, as the strongest ferocious beast at the demigod level, Chaos's foolishness and chaos can not only be used by others, but also by itself.

The results of this are different from those of outsiders. Chaos can selectively distort logical chains. For example, a normal person can only live for twelve seconds if their heart is gone, but she can distort the condition of death so that she can live safely even without a heart.

She can also distort her body's perception of temperature when subjected to a nuclear attack, so that even her hair won't dry out in temperatures of tens of millions of degrees Celsius.

This is the logical distortion that occurs to one's own body. Under such options where erroneous logic can be specified, almost no damage can kill Chaos, even if all of Chaos's cellular activity is killed, even if it was Bai Ze who retaliated earlier.

But this doesn't mean Bai Ze isn't strong. Having lived for so long, this is the first time Chaos has encountered a target who could almost kill him just by counterattacking.

"Speaking of which..."

From the shadowy corner, Qiongqi, a middle-aged man with a ferocious expression, emerged.

"I think I also encountered something very strange."

The other three murderers looked at Qiongqi.

Qiongqi stroked his chin and said.

"The person I cursed didn't bring back their bad karma after they died."

The elegant woman in the cheongsam added a sentence.

"It seems like we encountered someone on a certain pet street who couldn't even be swallowed by a glutton."

Qiongqi and the woman in the cheongsam looked at each other, and Qiongqi said in a deep voice.

"Hmm, that's a child. I reckon it might have the bloodline of a divine beast..."

The elegant woman in the cheongsam couldn't help but shake her head.

"Have we been cursed by the Grand Duke Jupiter lately? Why are we having such bad luck? How come there are hidden powerful beings everywhere in this small rural place? I'm starting to doubt whether the Dragon City and Xuan Shui City I used to live in were really the countryside. We didn't encounter as many divine beasts in those cities as we have in the last few days."

"Then let's investigate."

The silver-haired loli remained calm and composed.

"Go and get that child, go and bring out the powerful figures in this city. Cooperate with those who can be cooperated with, and for those who can't..."

The other three ferocious beasts watched the silver-haired loli nervously, and Qiongqi clenched his fists tightly, with sinister patterns emerging from his clenched hands.

Chaos said coldly.

"Fight if you can, run if you can't!"

Chaos has fought countless times with the bloodlines of the divine beasts Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise in her lifetime. This small rural area may be dangerous, but why would she be afraid?

Could the divine beasts hidden in this place be even stronger than the Four Divine Beasts?

……

The rental house opposite Zhou Yan's house.

Zhou Yan sensed it and no longer felt the piercing killing intent.

Well, it seems that Bai Yuan is really dead.

However, despite Bai Yuan's death, a very strange question about his motives remains.

Why did Bai Yuan want to kill himself?

Zhou Yan swore that this was the first time he had ever met Bai Yuan in his life. They had no grudges against each other, so why would such a high-level Awakened One come to kill him?

Zhou Yan walked to the bed in the rented room and sat down. The little fox Su Xiaowan, who was lying on the bed, ran over and put her two little paws on Zhou Yan's thigh, whimpering softly.

Zhou Yan placed the fox on his two thighs and slowly stroked its fur.

The fox whimpered softly in comfort, but Zhou Yan's expression was grave.

Killing the assassin is clearly only a temporary solution; if the root cause isn't identified, one can only passively accept all dangers.

So, just reveal your identity as Bai Ze and join the Awakened Ones circle. With powerful figures protecting you, no one will dare to mess with you...

Nonsence!

If he doesn't reveal his identity, the only people who can kill him are people like Bai Yuan. But if he does reveal his identity, it'll be the descendants of divine beasts like the Azure Dragon and White Tiger who will come to kill him.

Chapter Twenty-One: Cross-dressing is the first essential element of escape.

The question is, between a bad choice and an even worse choice, what would you choose?

According to statistics from the strongest country on a certain blue planet, there was once a popular president who, when faced with three choices presented by the Ministry of National Defense in the style of the TV show "Yes, Prime Minister" (one bad, two extremely bad), chose the option that was the worst possible choice.

That's the opposite of what you'd expect.

Zhou Yan wasn't that internet celebrity. After thinking it over, he finally gave up on the option of seeking refuge with a powerful figure. He had also realized from teasing Bai Yuan earlier that these awakened individuals weren't some high and mighty people who couldn't be moved.

If I can provide methods for advancement and suggestions for strengthening, and if I have this intelligence capability, then I can cooperate and discuss with assassins like Bai Yuan.

Of course, the most important thing is to improve oneself.

Once you reach a high level of awakening, once you reach the strength of Bai Ze from mythology, even if all the mythical beasts in the world knew that there was such a CIA chief as Bai Ze, they would probably just have to grit their teeth and bear it.

Yeah, so.

Zhou Yan vigorously stroked the fox's fur.

"Let's get up early today, and tomorrow we'll try our best to find evil spirits."

The little fox licked Zhou Yan's hand.

Zhou Yan lay down on the bed with the fox in his arms.

It's getting late, go to bed early.

I'll do a good deed tomorrow.

……

One o'clock in the morning.

Qiongqi yawned as he entered the inpatient department of the city's People's Hospital.

Qiongqi first went to see Lin Wanwan, who was recuperating from her injuries.

A minute later, Qiongqi, his hands covered in blood, emerged from Lin Wanwan's hospital room.

After coming out, Qiongqi went to the ward of the physical education teacher on the first floor.

While waiting to come out, Qiongqi took the PE teacher's phone and looked through Zhou Yan's photos.

According to the PE teacher, Zhou Yan killed He Tao with a single blow, and the kid looked like someone even a glutton couldn't swallow.

interesting.

really interesting.

Qiongqi grinned menacingly, then used the PE teacher's phone to make a call.

"Is that Xiaoying? We've found our target. This might be a big deal. Let's work together."

"We must make sure we achieve our goal."

……

The bedroom of the rented room opposite Zhou Yan's house.

Zhou Yan was sleeping on his side, holding the fox. The young man was breathing evenly and had a calm expression. Suddenly, Zhou Yan's breath hitched, and his eyes snapped open in anger.

Zhou Yan straightened up, staring intently in one direction, then turned his head to look in several other directions.

Two extremely dangerous, inexplicable sensations were approaching. These two sensations were not as fierce as Bai Yuan's killing intent before, but they gave Zhou Yan an irresistible feeling of suffocation.

What's going on? Didn't we just deal with a high-level Awakened?

How come two more have appeared now?

Moreover, this is because I killed Bai Yuan. If Bai Yuan's relatives and friends want revenge, they should go to Chaos. Why are they all coming to me?

I used a VoIP call, the kind that can't find the address or specific information, so why...?

That sense of crisis kept drawing closer.

Zhou Yan couldn't care less about his inner complaints. He hurriedly got out of bed and went to his desk to wake up the Chongming Bird.

Zhou Yan pointed his finger at the Chongming Bird and said solemnly.

"Someone is trying to harm me, and they're doing it from these two directions..."

Zhou Yan pointed in the direction from which the two senses of crisis were coming.

"Go check over there and see if anyone's there!"

Zhou Yan opened the window, and the Chongming bird flew out. Zhou Yan went to the wardrobe, put on clothes, shoes, and colored contact lenses, and then took out a hat with hair attached.

Before welcoming Bai Yuan, Zhou Yan had already made various preparations, among which the preparations for escape were the most extensive, and the most important thing for escape was appearance and attire.

Zhou Yan put on blue contact lenses, a long blonde wig, a hat, and a cute yet slightly sassy beauty mark near his eye. He also wore a pink cat-paw mask and a neutral outfit with fake breasts. He looked like a long-haired, slender blonde beauty, completely unlike his previous ordinary boy self.

Cross-dressing is the first essential element for escaping (male only).jpg

Of course, you'll also need some perfume to cover up your body odor.

Before getting dressed, Zhou Yan applied women's perfume rollerballs to his armpits, then to his neck and hair.

After doing all this, the Chongming bird flew into the bedroom, and Chongba squawked loudly. A banner appeared next to his head.

"The person who came is the one you asked me to keep an eye on before."

Here's the amazing part: next to this text, there were actually two pictures, one of a mature woman in a cheongsam and the other of a middle-aged man with a sinister look.

Zhou Yan's mouth was slightly open.

My heart sank immediately.

It wasn't Bai Yuan's relatives or friends who came, but they seemed to be more terrifying than expected.

The fact that someone can befriend Chaos, and that He Tao has proven to be afflicted by the Qiongqi evil mark, means that one of these two is likely Qiongqi.

Zhou Yan took out his phone and used the old method, dialing Bai Rusu's number (in a mature, older woman's voice) via internet call.

"Is this Ms. Bai Rusu? I'm reporting that Qiongqi has arrived at a place, and the address of this place is..."

"Hmm? Who are you? Are you an awakened being who lives among the common people but never leaves the world?"

Zhou Yan hung up the phone.
