Chapter 162: Not a Demon God?


    Anger shed in his eyes upon hearing the old grandpa speak. Used to be holy? Youngster, you think this great one no longer has holy[notes] power? That you can defeat me?! This great one is still a demon god. Dont forget! Even injured, you puny humans are no match for me!


    He had been treating them like they were food, so he hadnt paid attention to their abilities, but now he took a closer look. Hm, turned out this old grandpa was a holy master mixing with a group of ordinary sword masters and magicians.


    However, the holy master was human, and humans were no match for gods, even if they were categorized at the same holy level.


    Anxiety filled everyones hearts. Even Fy, who was reluctant to retreat because of the lure of the inheritance, stepped back when he heard the word, god. Inheritance was great, but living was better. Now his foremost thought was to survive.


    None of them wanted to die, so though they were unwilling, they knew they had to join forces against the demon god.


    Ming Xi and Jier exchanged worried nces. They prepared to assist Grandpa in fighting the demon god, Ai Lin prepared to jump into her dimensional space, and Zi Cheng connected with her system to find something useful to redeem with her points to escape. Everyone was trying to find a way to safety.


    Feng Wu, staring ahead with her deadpan expression, was the calmest. She was unworried about the battle. In her mind there were two options: fight if you can, run if you cant. That was what her master taught her.


    She spoke up from behind Ming Xi. Grandpas wrong. Hes not a demon god, just a demon.


    Her words were like a ma that pulled everyones eyes to her. She was unfazed by the attention, only nodding her head as if to emphasize her point.


    There was a dramatic change in the proimed demon god. His originally smug expression turned into disbelief. Upon realizing he was revealing too much, he quickly calmed himself down, but the damage was already done.


    His reaction didnt go unnoticed.


    Little girl, you say hes not a demon god? Grandpa looked at Feng Wu. His face didnt give anything away but his eyes glimmered faintly with appreciation. To be able to see through a demon was admirable indeed.


    He cant be a demon god because he doesnt have the aura of both god and demon. A demon god should have both. Feng Wu didnt m up just because a holy master was staring at her. She maintained her deadpan expression as she calmly spoke.


    God and demon aura existing at the same time? The holy master was doubtful and puzzled by her exnation.


    He wasnt the only one. Jier, Ming Xi and the others were also confused.


    Everyone knew a god had to abandon his divinity to gain a demon body and be a demon. So then how could a demon still have divine aura? Anyone from the future would have dered it illogical!


    Yes. Feng Wu nodded her head. A god doesntpletely abandon his divinity when he bes a demon; only half of him is changed. A demon god can freely switch between being a god or a demon.


    So a demon god was one who had both auras?! Everyone believed a demon god was simply a god who turned into a demon. But now, they finally understood the true meaning behind the name. Ah enlightenment!


    The now exposed false demon god red at Feng Wu like he was trying to drill a hole through her head.


    Grandpa had an odd light in his eyes as he studied Feng Wu. How do you know this? he asked.


    He was a holy master, yet even he didnt know this. She shared what was tantamount to secret knowledge. It made him question her identity. Was she really just an ordinary girl?


    I saw it in the book about demon gods in the library. Feng Wu thought the gramps must not like to read. She gave him a pitying look. Sure enough Jier was right; the more you read, the more you would know.


    Grandpa finally recognized her look for what it was. A crack appeared in this cid expression and he suddenly felt a little awkward. Was he being looked down upon by a little girl?


    Jier and Ming Xi knew that look. Both were secretly pleased they hadnt asked first. Otherwise that look would have been directed at them.


    You rugrat, how do you know a demon god has both auras? And how do you know this great one isnt just showing you one aura on purpose? The false demon god was unwilling to let it slide without a fight.


    Thats not possible. If you were a demon god you should have already healed your injuries by absorbing the energy from the weaker demons and the divine aura in the tomb. You wouldnt be as injured as you are now.


    You read this in a book? That was one hell of a shortcut to knowledge. Jier wondered what kind of books she was reading day and night to know so much.


    This wouldnt do. Simply would not do. He always thought he was smarter than Feng Wu, but apparently he needed to put in more effort, otherwise she would leave him in the dust!


    Feng Wu nodded her head in answer to his question. She always answered when questioned, but she wouldnt reveal those things that she wasnt supposed to share. That is to say, this youngdy was nave but she wasnt stupid.
