Blocking Jiang Xia's retreat was the chubby Lolita from the cinema.
Jiang Xia cursed inwardly: Damn, how did this chubby Lolita get mixed up with Wang Fei so quickly? Didn't I just introduce Wang Fei to her?
A bad feeling crept into Jiang Xia's heart, but he forced himself to stay calm and said, "Really? You two got together so fast?"
Wang Fei sneered, "It's not that we got together quickly; it's that I've known her for a while. She's been my girlfriend for a month already. Surprised?"
What?
Jiang Xia's mind buzzed!
He never imagined that the chubby Lolita had known Wang Fei beforehand.
So when he introduced Wang Fei to her, thinking he was saving Yang Jie, he inadvertently exposed his own position?
No, something's off!
Jiang Xia realized this was a ploy to lure him away!
Li Sitong was most likely deceived!
This was a hunt aimed at him!
And when did Wang Fei's taste become so peculiar?
Jiang Xia glanced at the chubby Lolita behind him and asked, "How did you two meet?"
He planned to stall for time, looking for a way to escape.
The strength of Wang Fei and the chubby Lolita was unclear.
But regardless of whether they were strong or weak, he was sure that he had no chance of winning one against two.
He had just started on the path to becoming stronger, while Wang Fei had already devoured countless people and kind.
Jiang Xia didn't think running into the woods on either side was a wise choice.
Wang Fei surely had rich hunting experience. Once he entered the woods, spanning several acres, he wouldn't be able to escape quickly, and the result would surely be death!
The best option was to bypass Wang Fei and run down the steps behind him.
But that was difficult and would definitely require a head-on confrontation with Wang Fei.
Wang Fei smiled faintly, "How we met is none of your concern, Jiang Xia. You're quite the schemer, selling me out just to save Yang Jie."
"Wasn't it the only option? Anyway, you're a Demonspawn; even if I sold you out, you'd be fine. Besides, what does this prove? It proves you and your girlfriend are truly meant to be!" Jiang Xia argued.
"Even without tonight's events, I would have come for you. I must devour you!"
Wang Fei's mouth extended a black tongue, licking his lips, looking at Jiang Xia as if he were a sumptuous feast.
Unless he was starving, he had no appetite for strangers. Instead, it was familiar people like Jiang Xia that stirred a strong desire to eat.
The death of his brother pained Wang Fei greatly, but he couldn't control himself.
Jiang Xia was silent for a few seconds, "Wang Fei, with so many Demonspawn in Xinghe City, why are you fixated on me? We're all classmates; there's no need for such mutual slaughter, right?"
"Jiang Xia, Li Sitong should have told you a lot. You should realize that the world has changed. In today's world, there's no such thing as classmates' camaraderie, only survival of the fittest. Besides, our relationship wasn't that good, was it?"
Seeing that he was unlikely to escape tonight, Jiang Xia decided to bring up Li Sitong again, "Aren't you afraid of Li Sitong if you eat me?"
"Her?"
Wang Fei smiled and shook his head, as if he no longer considered Li Sitong a threat.
The next second, his eyes turned cold, and he lunged at Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia's mind exploded!
—No way! Is he really attacking so decisively? Can't we talk a bit more?
Jiang Xia was panicking to his core, his legs even trembling, but no matter how scared he was, he had to fight back.
He quickly mobilized the power within him to begin demonization, his limbs instantly covered in green scales, and as Wang Fei charged at him, he swung his claws.
The sound of air being sliced echoed several times, and then Jiang Xia felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if hit by a truck, sending him flying backward!
Jiang Xia landed on the ground, and Wang Fei, a few meters away, sneered, "I love hunting weaklings like you. Surrender, and maybe I'll make it quick!"
Jiang Xia clutched his chest, his face flushed. It wasn't that he hadn't guarded against Wang Fei's hands, but he hadn't expected the two black claws that grew from Wang Fei's waist!
Good news: the chubby Lolita behind him made no move, seemingly just intending to watch.
Bad news: Wang Fei was very strong, and even one-on-one, he had little chance of winning!
Just as Jiang Xia struggled to stand, Wang Fei charged again!
At the critical moment, a tentacle suddenly shot out from the nearby woods, like a whip, knocking back the attacking Wang Fei.
Seeing the tentacle, Jiang Xia's heart leaped with joy!
Li Sitong hadn't left!
He thought it was Li Sitong coming to the rescue, but when the owner of the tentacle emerged from the woods, it was a... man?
The newcomer was about 1.7 meters tall, with short hair, wearing a black T-shirt, a red cape draped over his back, and a black leather eye patch covering half his face, leaving his eyes exposed.
This outfit was bizarre!
So bizarre that Jiang Xia, Wang Fei, and the chubby Lolita were all stunned, rubbing their eyes, thinking they were seeing things.
The tentacle was the man's left hand, resembling a black leather whip!
But strangely, although he displayed characteristics of a Demonspawn, the three of them couldn't sense any kind of aura from him.
Wang Fei's eyes were wary; not sensing this man's aura made him uneasy, not daring to act rashly.
If this man was a Demonspawn, then being able to conceal his aura so completely meant he was very strong, far above Wang Fei!
"Who are you?" Wang Fei asked, stepping back, feeling that the man's aura was strangely familiar.
The newcomer smiled coldly, walking up to Jiang Xia and staring at Wang Fei, "Just a hero who can't stand by when he sees injustice!"
The voice was familiar, like he'd heard it before?
Not only Jiang Xia felt this way, but Wang Fei and the chubby Lolita noticed it too.
Jiang Xia furrowed his brow, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
As the newcomer's phone rang, Jiang Xia confirmed his identity!
Yang Jie!
What was going on, was Yang Jie also a Demonspawn?
The newcomer took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, hung up, and put it to his ear, annoyed, "I'm busy right now. How many times do I have to say, don't bother me with projects under a billion!"
Wang Fei, standing a few meters away, heard the familiar voice and his eyes flickered, muttering, "Your voice, I think I've heard it somewhere. Do we know each other?"
The newcomer smiled slightly, "You might have heard of my name, but a small fry like you, I wouldn't know."
The familiar voice and arrogant tone made Wang Fei feel more and more familiar, but he couldn't recall who it was.
He didn't dare act rashly; not sensing any kind of aura from this person made him think the other must be frighteningly strong!
Though he wasn't afraid, Wang Fei thought it wise to be cautious. If the other's strength far exceeded his, it could cost him his life.
