Devil’s Son-in-Law

the nearby road.
The bodies of Chen Rui and the horse were nowhere in sight.
Only blood stains and pieces of flesh were faintly seen.

“Huh?” Someone suddenly let out a surprised sound, then several figures chased forward.
In the blink of an eye, they already went into the mountain range.

At the moment of life and death just now, Chen Rui dodged in time.
He went far away from the range of the magic.
It was the poor horse who died under the [Meteor Rain].

Chen Rui realized that he was surrounded.
There must be a powerful magician.
He immediately fled into the mountain.
He wanted to use the terrain to avoid magic at a distance.
Those who tried to kill him were naturally in hot pursuit.

Passers-by in the distance only saw flame-like meteors falling.
The ground trembled, and then a figure seemed to fly past abruptly before disappearing.

Chen Rui fled all the way to a forest.
Due to the unfamiliar environment, his speed inevitably slowed down.
A figure suddenly passed by in front of him.
At the same time, a spherical black ray attacked.
Chen Rui could feel a huge oppression force from a distance.
He had no choice but to turn around.
The missed black ray hit a giant tree which could be hugged by 5 people.
The tree seemed to be exploded from the inside by some powerful explosives.
A terrifying hole was burst open in the centre and wood chips were flying everywhere.
There was a screeching sound before the tree fell down.

Chen Rui dodged the black ray, but another green ray stormed forward.
This green ray didn’t seem powerful.
However, Chen Rui’s expression was more serious than facing the black light previously.
Wherever the green ray passed, the tree on the opposite side was broken into 5 sections.
The cuts were extremely smooth as if it was cut by an extremely sharp qi.

Behind him, a huge sea of fire continued to burn like a wall.
It contained the searing power of fire elements, making Chen Rui unable to retreat.

“Not running away?” The cold voice sounded.
This was a burly man with a black short stick in his hand.
The long stick had a ball with countless sharp spikes, and there was an iron chain at the end.
It was this terrifying mace that smashed the giant tree into powder just now.

The burly man was from the Wrath Royal Family.
His Comprehensive Strength Assessment had reached B+, the peak of Great Demon King.

Physique: B+, Strength: B+, Spirit: C, Agility: B-.

The Wrath Royal Family was a royal family with the surname of Samael.
The Wrath Empire was destroyed by the Bloody Empire during those years.
Chen Rui once fought against the vice deputy of the Blue Lava Estate’s Double-headed Dragon Legion, Lavat, who was a Demon King-level, in the Dark Moon.
Wrath Royal Family’s [Bloodfury] talent was quite impressive.
From the data point of view, this man was clearly a strength type opponent.

The sharp qi came from a woman wearing strange long sleeves.
Her facial features were quite beautiful, but there was a crossed knife scar on her face, destroying her original appearance.
A cold murderous aura overflowed from her slightly slanted eyes.
Even without the identification of the [Analytical Eyes], Chen Rui could see that the long-sleeved gown was a special piece of equipment.
He didn’t know whether it was the long-sleeve or the sharp weapon hidden in the sleeve that cut the tree just now.

Race: Arrogant Royal Family (mutated).
Comprehensive strength: B.

Physique: B-, Strength: B, Spirit: B, Agility: B+.

The magician who used the [Meteor Rain] shower was hovering at about 3 meters in the air.
He was holding a long wooden stick in his hand.
His face looked older.

Race: Great Demon (mutated).
Comprehensive strength B+.

Physique: C, Strength: C-, Spirit: B+, Speed: C+.

2 peak Great Demon Kings and 1 intermediate stage Great Demon King.
Moreover, they had power, speed, and long-range magic types.
This combination of combat power was quite terrifying.
The level of danger was far greater than facing Sulfur and the 2 vampires last time.

“There is 1 more, come out.
Do you still want to be a demon ostrich with your head down now?” Chen Rui’s gaze fell behind the big tree on the other side.

“Hmph! After you become a dead body, let’s see if you can still talk so arrogantly.” A somewhat familiar voice sounded, and the figure gradually became clear.
A tall, thin and handsome man wearing a set of valuable armor.
He was holding a beautifully decorated sword in his hand.
It was actually Lordan, the heir of the capital’s veteran family, Lincoln Family, who was once humiliated by Chen Rui in front of Isabella.

“It’s you!” Chen Rui frowned.
“I’m the palace high rank consultant.
You dare to assasinate me.
If the Regent Royal Highness knew…”

“Although the capital is headed by the regent, not everything is decided by the regent.
Many things are inseparable from the determination and power of our veteran family.
Not to mention that you are not a nobleman; you are just a consultant.
Even if you are a real nobleman, I will still kill you! From the last time you humiliated me in front of Isabella, you have been doomed to have an eerie death!” When Lordan mentioned this, he seemed extremely furious.
His handsome facial features were even distorted.

Last time, it was clearly Lordan himself who did the sneak attack first, and he finally suffered humiliation from his own action.
Unexpectedly, he even blamed this hatred on Chen Rui.
Chen Rui knew that it was useless to reason with this kid from a wealthy family, so he smiled indifferently, “Since you want to kill me, you must first be prepared to die.”

“Stop bluffing!” Lordan sneered, “I have the most reliable information.
Your power is at most the peak of the Great Demon King.
You have not reached the Demon Emperor at all.
You will undoubtedly die today!”

Chen Rui noticed another thing.
From his arrival at the capital to leaving, he just went to Isabella’s house to stay for a while, met Obsidian in the palace, and then returned to Isabella’s house where he left after eating.
In such a short time, Lordan detected his movements and arranged an ambush.
It seemed that what Isabella said that Rommel wanted to mess with him was not a lie.

It’s just that Rommel is also extremely cunning.
He actually instigated Lordan, who has a grudge on me, to do it while he remained hidden behind him.
He is really sly.
Perhaps I can give him the nickname of the”capital fox”?

Judging from the intel disclosed by Isabella deliberately, Rommel is one of the representatives of the veteran family.
In contrast, Isabella’s background is much inferior.
She is only recognized by the upper aristocracy due to her deceased husband’s family relations.

Obsidian is actually more fearful of Rommel, but out of scruples about the huge power of the capital’s veteran family, he had to entrust the important task of taking charge of the imperial military affairs to him.

It is highly possible that Rommel is not very clear about the origin of “Charles” and my plan.

In any case, the relationship between Obsidian and the veteran family has a lot of underlying stories.

For example, these people in front of me…

Lordan’s arrogant voice pulled Chen Rui back to reality from his quick thinking, “You don’t even have a chance to escape or beg for mercy now.
These powerhouses came with the order to kill, but… I can give you time to have your last words.
”

“I’m sorry.
I never thought about escaping from the beginning including coming here.” Chen Rui smiled slightly.
“Because I can use my power without any scruples in this remote place.
In fact, this is why I want to apologize.
You all will die.”

Don’t judge the book by its cover…
