Chapter 86: A Terrifying Opponent

Monsters are divided into low-level monsters and high-level monsters.

High-level monsters can even command low-level monsters.

And above monsters, there exists an even more terrifying entity: the Demon race!

No one knows where the Demon race came from; the only thing known is that every single member of the Demon race is terrifying to the extreme!

They not only possess intelligence no weaker than humans, but can even speak human language.

Every appearance of the Demon race is an unparalleled crisis, and now, Ceng Canqi has seen with his own eyes that a member of the Demon race has appeared within the Top Scholar Secret Realm! How could Ceng Canqi not be terrified!

"Demon race, how dare you invade the territory of my human race! You have a lot of nerve!" Ceng Canqi shouted sternly.

However, those demons did not pay attention to Ceng Canqi; they bowed and knelt on the ground one after another, as if welcoming some great figure.

In the shocked gaze of everyone, a tall man with skin so white it was unbelievable walked out slowly.

The only thing different from a normal human was that this man's pupils were a strange, deep purple, profound and cold.

Ceng Canqi was already too shocked to speak. A demon! And a demon that looked exactly like a human!

At this moment, he hoped more than anything that this guy was a human traitor, but looking at the respectful manner of the other demons toward him, that was clearly not a possibility.

The man raised his deep purple eyes and scanned the surroundings.

"You humans are nothing but food for my Demon race. To think you now dare to turn around and keep the low-level slaves of my race in captivity for you to hunt—you are truly... tired of living."

The man spoke slowly, his voice cold, and an invisible fear seeped deep into the marrow of everyone present.

A deep fear had already risen in Ceng Canqi's heart; he was not afraid of death.

But he was afraid that everyone would die here!

These people were all top scholars selected from all over the country through the college entrance examination, the most elite class-changers of the young generation. If they all died here, it would be a devastating blow even to the entire Great Xia.

"Everyone hide behind me! Don't worry, the abnormality here will surely be detected by the people of Shencheng soon; perhaps they are already on their way."

Ceng Canqi spoke to comfort the candidates, then walked forward slowly, facing these demons head-on.

A terrifying aura surged from Ceng Canqi; he was a class-changer who had reached level 70!

However, the demon man who looked like a human showed no panic on his face; he glanced at Ceng Canqi with slight disdain.

"Luta, he is yours. I want to have some fun with these humans."

"Yes, my lord," a figure like an iron tower replied in a muffled voice.

He took a step forward, and the entire ground trembled. He stood three meters tall, with two horns on his head, and his entire body was covered in metallic, red armor.

Then the man wanted to bypass Ceng Canqi and attack Ye Lin and the others directly.

Ceng Canqi took a step forward and slashed his great blade directly toward the front, wanting to intercept the man.

But at this moment, Luta slammed directly into Ceng Canqi.

"Don't you go disturbing my lord's amusement!"

Although Luta's build was massive, his speed was extreme; with one charge, he sent Ceng Canqi flying.

"I won't let you touch them!"

Ceng Canqi desperately tried to rush past to block the man, but Luta was like an insurmountable chasm; no matter how hard Ceng Canqi tried, he was blocked by Luta.

The blade in his hand struck Luta, only sparking a series of flashes, unable to harm Luta in the slightest.

"Don't worry, I'm just playing with them."

The man walked slowly to the front of all the top scholars and laughed in a low voice.

"Are you the most powerful humans selected from all over this year? Come, fight me. As long as one person can win, I will let all of you leave."

The demon man spread his hands, looking expectant.

"Don't worry, according to your realm classification system, I am at most level 20."

Everyone looked at each other. Some focused their gaze and discovered that the aura emitted by this demon man was indeed not far from a level 20 monster.

With this, everyone's courage returned!

They had thought the opponent was some terrifying enemy too strong to defeat, but if he was only level 20, what were they afraid of?

You have to know, they were all top scholars from various places, one-in-ten-thousand talents!

A tall boy was the first to walk out from the crowd. He had short hair, skin that looked healthy and dark from years of training outside, and wore a tight-fitting combat suit that showed off his well-defined, powerful muscles.

He walked to the front of the crowd and looked directly at the demon man.

"I'll fight you!"

He spoke calmly, his voice filled with determination and confidence.

"It's the top scholar from Cao City! Lin Zi'an!"

"With him stepping up, it will definitely work! He is a Divine Knight class, and his level is already 21!"

"That's right, level 21 fighting level 20, the advantage is definitely with us..."

Before the last person could finish speaking, Lin Zi'an's figure crashed into the crowd like a cannonball, knocking over seven or eight people like bowling pins before finally stopping.

Everyone was stunned. Lin Zi'an had actually been instantly killed by the demon man in a single exchange?!

"Cough! Cough, cough, cough!"

Lin Zi'an coughed violently, and the blood he spat out even contained fragments of his internal organs.

If it weren't for the power of the laws of the Top Scholar Secret Realm keeping him alive, he would likely have died already, and there was a clear footprint on Lin Zi'an's chest.

"Top scholar? Ridiculous, weak as an ant." The demon man sneered disdainfully. "Who is next?"

This time, no one dared to answer him.

This guy looked like he was only level 20, but the strength he displayed was horrifying; many people didn't even see how the demon man attacked before Lin Zi'an was already critically injured.

"What? Are you all so scared that no one dares to come up? The human race is truly a bunch of spineless cowards." The demon man sneered.

Everyone was a hot-blooded young person; once these words were spoken, it immediately angered many people. One after another, they attacked the demon man, only to be beaten into a near-death state by a single move.

The so-called top scholars appeared vulnerable before this demon man.

Wu Shaoqi swallowed hard, his legs trembling as he slowly backed away. He was one of the few who could see the trajectory of the demon man's attacks.

But precisely because he could see it, he understood the terror of this demon man even more. Don't look at him as only level 20; it was likely that even a level 30 or 35 class-changer would not be a match for this demon man.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Wu Shaoqi's steps paused abruptly. Then, looking righteous, he turned his head toward Ye Lin's direction and shouted loudly.

"Ye Lin! What are you waiting for? With great power comes great responsibility! You have the highest level and the strongest combat power here; why don't you hurry up and attack?"
