"Hmm? There's another expert!"
Uncle Long's expression changed instantly. He used all his strength to break the thread and then slammed his fist down!
"If you're unwilling to talk, then go die!"
Since the other party was willing to send experts to rescue this [King of Demons] level demon apostle, he would not give in to their wishes and would kill him directly!
"You killed someone right in front of me? You really don't respect me at all!"
Gwen brought down the large scissors heavily, forcing Uncle Long to retreat; he didn't want to take the blow head-on!
"A near-god level Awakener? Also a Demon Apostle? This is troublesome!"
Uncle Long frowned, staring intently at Gwen!
When Gwen arrived, Jiang Ran and Yu Cheng naturally followed. Yu Cheng walked to Ye Ye's side and helped him up.
"What happened to you this time?"
"Ahem, I never imagined the other party had a [near-god] bodyguard."
"Such a powerful figure, yet he has to serve the demons!"
Uncle Long snorted coldly. He didn't want to fight Gwen for the time being. Between near-gods, it was already difficult to kill each other. But if the two of them went all out, it was another matter whether Yang Sanqiang behind him could survive.
"Don't label people randomly!" Gwen stuck the scissors into the ground, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Who is this demon's lackey? Don't put such an awful nickname on me!"
"Yeah, I'm telling you... can't you guys listen to me properly?!" Ye Ye was speechless. "I've told you before, I have nothing to do with that Demon Apostle! I don't even know what you're talking about!"
"No matter how I explain it to you, you all think I'm lying. What else can I do?"
Uncle Long turned around and exchanged a glance with Yang Sanqiang. Both of them were a little confused. If the other party had denied it before, it might have been because he wanted to save his life. But now that the other party had reached the level of "near god", he was no longer afraid of them in terms of strength. It seemed that there was no need for him to put on an act anymore.
"Are you really not a demon apostle?"
"So what exactly is a Demon Apostle? What kind of bullshit demon is that? We have absolutely no connection with it!"
"You scared me! I thought I'd been found out... Phew."
Yang Sanqiang plopped down on the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The Demon Apostle had a fanatical faith in demons and would never utter a word like "bullshit demons".
But upon closer reflection, he became somewhat annoyed: "Wait, if you're not a demon apostle, then why are you chasing me? Are you bored?"
"Then I should ask you why you ran away!" Ye Ye's mind raced. Remembering the man in the corridor earlier, he made up a reason on the spot, "My friend's friend is one of the three people you beat to death in the street! Of course I came to seek justice from you, and you just ran away. How could I not chase after you?"
Uncle Long was speechless; it turned out to be a huge misunderstanding.
"Three Guns, it seems your status as a spoiled brat has really made you quite a few enemies. But that's fine too, at least this [Near God] isn't our enemy. Three Guns, you should at least explain yourself."
"You're saying that one of the three people I beat to death in the street was a friend of your friend? Then you should probably be careful of this friend; he might have some connection to the devil!"
Yang Sanqiang explained, "The three people I killed in the street before were all demon apostles! I originally wanted to continue hiding, but they carried huge secrets, and I couldn't just watch them go back. So I simply used their status as spoiled brats to use my power to kill them!"
"Could it be that you've been hiding this all along?"
“Now that you’ve asked this far, there’s no point in me hiding it anymore.” Yang Sanqiang shrugged. “Sometimes, the more you try to hide, the more you stand out from the crowd. So it’s better to be a little more flamboyant. Between a cripple and a hermit, the former is definitely less threatening.”
"And who knows, at some point, I might use this identity to do things that others wouldn't dare to do. For example, killing someone in the street before. Even if I'm the chairman's son, if I were a refined gentleman, doing something like that would definitely arouse suspicion. But with this identity now, isn't it much more reasonable?"
“These aren’t the only three people I’ve killed.” Yang Sanqiang dusted off his clothes. “But I can guarantee that everyone I kill has a reason for their death! You either work for the devil or you’re an apostle of the devil yourself! If you have no connection with the devil, even if you’re not a good person, I won’t kill you. At most, I’ll give you a little punishment.”
"You guys seem to know nothing," Yang Sanqiang continued, "You haven't just awakened, have you?"
What does "awakening" mean?
"Alright, hearing you ask that, I knew you just awakened. That makes sense, to have the strength of a peak [Demon King] right after awakening, no wonder you're confident enough to come looking for revenge. Wait, so this [Near God] level little girl also just awakened? Holy crap! This is the first time in hundreds of years!"
A helicopter descended a very long rope ladder, and Yang Sanqiang waved to the crowd: "Come on up, let's talk in detail inside the helicopter. I'll explain to you what awakening is, and by the way, let me tell you that this world is not safe!"
Apart from the helicopter pilot, Jiang Ran, Gwen, Yu Cheng, Ye Ye, Yang Sanqiang, and Uncle Long sat together in the helicopter cabin, making the already cramped space even more crowded.
"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Li Long. I'm this kid's father's sworn brother, so he calls me Uncle."
"Little girl, what's your name?"
Gwen was the only one among them who was "near godlike", so Li Long naturally regarded her as their leader.
"Gwen, so what exactly does 'Awakened' mean?"
"Everyone here possesses a latent power within them, but over 90% of them still see themselves as ordinary people. This is likely due to a mysterious force deceiving us, and those who break through this deception are called Awakeners!"
Most people think they are just ordinary people, but after all, their true identity is a strange creature, so the power they possess is extraordinary. And those who realize that they have this power are called awakened ones?
"Then what are demons and demon apostles?"
"We don't know the demon's specific name or power. We only know that if he breaks the seal, it will be a disaster for this world. And right now, there is a group of people here collecting items to resurrect the demon. This group is the demon's lackeys, and the higher-ups among them are the demon apostles!"
