Chapter 10. Good Devil!

The screams turned into thunderous laughter. Jian Zhang glared at everyone who had laughed at him earlier.

“ARE YOU CRAZY?!” He stepped straight for the holy priest. Without warning, he directly kicked the priest’s body.

“Are you sure what you threw was holy water, huh? It doesn’t feel like holy water. It tastes like salty water!” Jian Zhang grinned.

How could that be?

Everyone looks shocked. All the demons must have reacted with the holy water. But if the water didn’t react, that was a sign that Jian Zhang was a human.

The enraged Jian Zhang immediately drew his sword, slashing everyone who entered without permission at his place.

“Forgive us, Prince!”

"Help! Help me!”

“Run! Don't get in my way!”

Terrible screams in the silent night frightened anyone who heard it .

Cheng Wu and Tian He who heard the screams immediately quickened their steps.

Until they arrived at the courtyard of Xue Fen’s residence. They were instantly stunned to see a body that was no longer alive. Blood pooled in the courtyard. Some of the body pieces were still moving and crawling, trying to save themselves.

Jian Zhang glanced at his people. “Come inside. Let me take care of these people,” he ordered.

With trembling hands and fear, Bojing helped his comrades. They obeyed Jian Zhang’s order and directly closed the door.

Jian Zhang swung the sword, the traces of blood that still stuck to the sword, splashing everywhere.

Jian Zhang was ready to attack, but Cheng Wu immediately blocked and knelt down.

“Sorry for the stupidity of these people, Prince.” Cheng Wu’s hands clenched into fists.

Perhaps it was indeed a mistake if he thought Jian Zhang was a devil. As proof, the holy water did not hurt Jian Zhang.

“Jiang Zhang!” Jiao Zhang who knew that her younger brother was causing trouble walked over.

Jiao Zhang couldn’t see what was happening, but she could feel the stench of blood. She was also walking carefully, as if she knew that there were many bodies lying on the ground.

Seeing his sister coming, Jian Zhang put his sword back in.

“I am not doing anything, Sister Jiao.” Like a child afraid of being scolded by his mother, that was Jian Zhang’s face at this moment.

Gently, Jian Zhang guided his older sister’s steps, past people who were dead or alive.

Cheng Wu took a deep breath. After Jian Zhang entered the residence, he ordered his men to clean up the yard.

“It seems he is not a demon,” explained Xian Wu. “If the Prince is a demon, he would have been dead by holy water.”

“Is it possible that there are devils who don’t react to holy water?” Tian He argued.

There are many types of demons out there, and maybe there are types of demons that they don’t know about.

Xian Wu wasn’t sure, but the ones he encountered so far, all of them would react with holy water.

Meanwhile, in the residence, Jian Zhang fell down. Burns filled his chest, created a terrible wound. And the only remedy is to drink the blood of mystical beasts. But right now, he couldn’t get out.

“Prince, are you all right?” asked Bojing at the door. Since earlier, prince Jian Zhang did not want to leave the room, this made him worry.

“I’m fine.” But Jian Zhang’s voice didn’t sound that good.

“No need to worry about me. Take Jiao Zhang to mother’s place. It’s safer there than here!” Jian Zhang ordered.

In the end, Bojing could only obey Jian Zhang’s order. He brought Jiao Zhang to the empress’s quarters. Leaving Jian Zhang alone in his place.

Jian Zhang opened the window, watching his sister and all the servants leave. It was too dangerous for them to continue with him. Jian Zhang didn’t know when he would lose control, and the worst could happen to those closest to him.

The night was getting late, the sound of dogs howling sounds so far away.

With injuries on his body, Jian Zhang tried to dodge from the passing security. As fast as lightning, he jumped from the roof to the roof next to it, until finally he reached the back of the palace. He ran through the dark night. Then disappeared into the darkness.

***

In the forest, alone and injured, this reminds Jian Zhang of his past. The corners of the young man’s lips lifted into a faint smile. Jian Zhang’s breathing sounded heavy. However, he must quickly find his target animal.

Slowly, Jian Zhang stepped into the forbidden forest. But just as he stepped foot he heard a scream.

“Help!”

The voice sounded very clear in the silence. Jian Zhang walked towards the source of the sound and thought that it was like a child’s voice. But how could there be a child in the forbidden forest?

The wolf’s roar made Jian Zhang quicken his pace.

It didn’t take long. With his bare hands, Jian Zhang pulled the wolf until its skin peeled off. Blood spurted everywhere up to the face of a small child who stared in fear.

One or two wolves fell. Jian Zhang jumped, covering the trembling little boy’s body. He showed intimidation towards the wolf.

The wolf roared and circled around Jian Zhang.

'They didn’t give up!' Jian Zhang thought.

Under normal circumstances, Jian Zhang could easily blow the wolf away. However, the current situation is not possible. He was seriously injured.

'This is so bad!'

Under pressure, Jian Zhang could not maintain his human body. Slowly, his long nails were sticking out. His sharp fangs appeared, his eyes turned red, and his skin turned pale white.

The little boy step backward. He thought that the man who helped him was also not human. As said by his master, that demons can turn into humans. And this man is not human.

“Stay behind me!” Jian Zhang said.

For a few seconds, Jian Zhang stared at the hungry wolf. Perhaps by showing his demonic side, the wolf could leave without a fight. His gaze kept on the wolves, who were about to get scared.

“Zikui!” A man’s scream made the little boy turn his head.

“Don’t worry, we’ll help you!”

Two holy priests cast a spell.

“Don’t attack him! This demon helped me...!”

“Are you crazy?!” shouted his friend.

“Maybe that kid already hypnotized by that devil! We have to be careful!” said his partner.

The devil has advantages, and one thing they know is that the devil can hypnotize his prey.

“No!” Little Zikui used his body as a shield. He turned to the devil, who helped him. “Go, Hurry!”

"Shut up!" Jian Zhang shouted at the young priest. "Useless spells. Do you want to be eaten by this wolf?!"
