Chapter 9

The Demon King had clearly underestimated the body he was inhabiting. Desperate for a vessel to keep the soul of his master, Yinglong who served as the servant of the evil monarch hastily chose Yu Chen because of the minuscule spirit energy that dwelled within him.

Yinglong did not foresee that the small spirit energy in the somewhat human Yu Chen would be a stumbling block for the Demon King.

When a soul roamed through space and time its form becomes unstable and could attract the attention of the immortals in the heavens and beastly lowly creatures from the underworld.

The goblin-like creature had to think on his feet to make drastic plans that would save his master from the harmful influence of any immortal.

"I don't care if you cut my tongue, you and I both share one body! So, go ahead if you must!"

The Demon King's rage could be felt as the demonic aura that wrapped the body of Yu Chen sent shock waves to the whole place causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble in response.

"What is happening?! Is it an earthquake?! I can't see! There is no place to run to, everywhere is so dark! I can't make out my legs!"

Terrified beyond reason, Blue began crying miserably.

"You have guts for a useless human! I can see through your false bravado! Since you would not heed my words I will have to use some other means to force your hand!"

Yu Chen's consciousness was consumed with fear at the retaliatory attack promised by the Demon King. He did not know what else to do in order to rescue his friends from the hands of an evil being that possessed him.

"The other option that may work is to travel to my brain and squeeze the nerves there, if I bleed from my nose he would know that I do not fear death! That will scare him and he will not kill my friends!"

Yu Chen talked himself into another impromptu action plan that he held strong hopes of succeeding.
