CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 210: CRISIS!

In the small forest, under the bright moonlight, the forest was not dark, as countless fireflies danced around, hovering within the woods.

Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue sat together on a stone bench, surrounded by spots of light. These fireflies merged with the starry sky, making it feel as though they were immersed in a celestial landscape, splendid and enchanting.

Yu Ningxue sat quietly beside Xiao Tian, unexpectedly becoming nervous at this moment, completely unsure of what to say.

The moonlight and the glow of the fireflies blended together, casting a pale blue light throughout the forest, making everything astonishingly clear.

Only then did Xiao Tian notice that Yu Ningxue had changed from her usual attire today. She wore a long white dress, elegant and graceful, completely different from the policewoman Yu Ningxue he knew before.

If the former Yu Ningxue was a wild horse, then now she was a gentle little kitten.

Xiao Tian had never thought there could be such a perfect pairing in the world. Compared to his familiar beautiful mentor, the Yu Ningxue before him seemed like a fairy untouched by the mortal world. These fireflies were her sprites and might all vanish after a night’s sleep.

Beside him, Yu Ningxue lowered her head, her face showing a faint redness, incredibly captivating and beautiful.

Xiao Tian couldn’t take his eyes off her.

If Yu Ningxue could always stay like this, then Li Rong would have no place among the four beauties of Shanghai.

Xiao Tian couldn’t help but reach out his hand, gently caressing Yu Ningxue’s smooth and tender cheek.

Yu Ningxue’s body merely trembled slightly, but she neither spoke nor refused, looking as if she was letting Xiao Tian have his way.

Her face was still as perfect as ever. Xiao Tian murmured, "Ningxue... your dress is so beautiful."

Yu Ningxue snorted lightly at his words, "You just noticed?"

"No matter how beautiful the dress is, it can’t compare to even a tenth of you," Xiao Tian sincerely stated as he gazed at Yu Ningxue’s face.

"Where did you learn this skill of making girls happy?" Yu Ningxue whispered, her face reddening even more.

Xiao Tian looked innocent, "Beautiful mentor, I’m speaking from the heart!"

"Tch!" Seeing Xiao Tian revert to his usual playful self, Yu Ningxue’s mood improved, and she rolled her eyes at him.

-----

However, while some were happy, others were worried. Meanwhile, in front of the Emperor Hotel, a large group of people had gathered. They wielded weapons and wore stern expressions.

At the center of the crowd were several foreign young men and Li Rong, who had just been embarrassed by Xiao Tian.

One of the foreign young man, Noka, coldly asked his subordinates, "Where did that Huaxia kid run off to?"

"I just saw him enter the small forest with a woman!"

"Good!" Noka nodded furiously, angered by the thought of having been cowed by Xiao Tian earlier, cursing his own cowardice.

After sending Yose off in an ambulance, Noka and several foreign young masters immediately called in about twenty to thirty bodyguards to retaliate against Xiao Tian.

-----

At the same time, in a corner of the city, after administering the last shot of "X Potion" to the biochemical beast.

The beast roared suddenly, its sound piercing the sky. The surrounding space trembled as its eyes slowly turned from green to red, making Demon Slayer ecstatic.

This was the hallmark of the biochemical beast reaching its complete form!

Demon Slayer reveled in his success, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, Xiao Tian, here I come!"

**

Meanwhile, in another corner of Shanghai City, two helicopters landed slowly, and a dozen black-clothed ninjas swiftly jumped out.

"They’re here!!" The Japanese man Gao Shanggang, who had been beaten by Xiao Tian the other day, dashed over eagerly, as if seeing a savior.

"You finally came!" Gao Shanggang exclaimed excitedly. Ever since escaping from Xiao Tian’s grasp that day, he had harbored a grudge. His lack of skill made it suicidal to challenge Xiao Tian on his own.

But now, with so many Chūnin experts sent by the organization, how could Xiao Tian not die this time?

"Where is Xiao Tian?" Yamada Minami, the lead ninja, asked coldly.

Gao Shanggang responded with utmost respect, "Our people have been watching that kid closely. He’s currently at a hotel in the city center. The car is ready; let’s depart immediately."

"Hmph!" Yamada Minami snorted disdainfully at Gao Shanggang, "So many of you couldn’t deal with one Huaxia person, what a disgrace to our great Japan!"

"Yes!"

Gao Shanggang didn’t dare to breathe, bowing and admitting his fault.

Yamada Minami said slowly, "It’s a good thing we got the materials. Otherwise, you would all be dead!"

With that, Yamada Minami waved his hand, leading the other Chūnin to board the prepared van, intending to end Xiao Tian that night for repeatedly provoking them.

----

Elsewhere, Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue emerged from the forest, not yet reaching the road when a group of people suddenly appeared, surrounding them.

"Hey, kid, you think you can leave just like that after beating someone up?"

The few foreign young men who had been too scared to speak at the hotel earlier now spoke with confidence, having brought twenty to thirty people along.

Seeing Xiao Tian remain silent, another foreign young master laughed even more arrogantly, pointing directly at Xiao Tian’s nose and cursing angrily, "Weren’t you quite spirited just now? Scared now? Hahaha, too late!"

Li Rong stood aside, observing Xiao Tian and the others with cold eyes, as if watching a joke.

Hearing the commotion at the door, many people inside the hotel also came out to watch the spectacle. Soon, the previously empty courtyard was filled with people.

Most of these people stood at a distance from Xiao Tian, fearful that if a fight broke out, they might get caught in the chaos.

"Isn’t he Yu Ningxue’s boyfriend? How did he provoke these foreigners?"

"Don’t mess with them; I heard they killed someone a few days ago and used connections to cover it up!"

"This is going to be quite a show!"

At this moment, Xu Zhi also rushed out upon hearing the noise. When he found out that it was Xiao Tian who had provoked these foreign young masters, his face lit up with amusement.

"Haha, saves me the trouble! These foreigners are very influential back in their country, even my dad has some partnerships with them. This kid, I think he’s doomed this time!"

"So, how do you want to die?"

A few foreign young masters led their bodyguards, arrogantly approaching Xiao Tian. In their eyes, Xiao Tian was already a lamb to the slaughter.

Watching these foreigners approach him, Xiao Tian let out a cold laugh, just about to make a move!

Suddenly, a sense of extreme danger surged in, causing him to involuntarily step back a few steps.

"Hahahaha, the kid got scared!"

"Look at him, he must be shaking all over now!"

Many onlookers laughed. Among them, the foreign young masters had even more arrogance on their faces, thinking Xiao Tian was scared of them.

"Ah, seems I misjudged,"

Li Rong, seeing Xiao Tian looking timid, couldn’t help but sigh.

She originally thought Xiao Tian had some skills, but in the end, it was just his knack for picking up women. Li Rong’s expression turned slightly disappointed.

However, Yu Ningxue understood Xiao Tian. Previously when Xiao Tian single-handedly took out a team of armed kidnappers, he showed no hesitation at all.

Yu Ningxue realized that even with twenty bodyguards, or even one hundred, they couldn’t do anything to Xiao Tian.

At this moment, Xiao Tian had a tense expression, evidently facing some real trouble.

Yu Ningxue held Xiao Tian’s hand and quietly asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Tian’s expression was serious, and he said directly, "It’s here, get back to the hotel!"

Yu Ningxue immediately realized, her face full of shock, "Could it be... that monster?"

Xiao Tian nodded, "I think it is!"

Of course, those foreign young masters didn’t know Xiao Tian’s concern; they thought Xiao Tian was afraid of them, and their faces were full of excitement. There’s nothing more exhilarating than making others submit!

Immediately, Noka arrogantly waved his hand and gave the order.

"Beat him to death for me!"

"Roar————"

Just as the bodyguards were about to charge forward, a furious roar echoed throughout the courtyard in an instant.

Only the sound of two swift moves was heard, and the two bodyguards in front were instantly shredded into pieces, with blood spraying everywhere.

In everyone’s gaze, a biochemical beast as large as a car landed directly in the center of the courtyard. Everyone felt a violent tremor, with some even slipping and falling to the ground.

The biochemical beast had a massive horn, its expression ferocious. Its huge body was covered with black scales, gleaming with a menacing aura under the lights, with spikes piercing skyward.

The most striking were its bright red eyes, like beacons, radiating an overwhelming sense of danger.

"Aaaahhh!!!!"

Seeing the foreign young masters’ bodyguards torn to pieces by this creature, the scene erupted with shrill screams.

Countless people wanted to flee, but before they could reach the door, the monster’s back suddenly produced a spike that flew out, piercing the air with a whistling sound.

Finally, this spike, like a bullet, accurately impaled the chest of a person trying to escape.

Thud!

A spurt of blood sprayed out, and everyone froze in shock, trembling; some even sat on the ground, wetting their pants.

At this moment, no one dared to move a step; otherwise, what awaited them was slaughter by the monster!

"Hahaha, so you’re Xiao Tian? I’ve heard so much about you!" Just then, a burst of maniacal laughter followed by these words.

In everyone’s gaze, a man in black clothing jumped down directly from the second floor; such a height would normally mean a fatal fall, but the man landed perfectly on the ground.

This man was the organization’s secret pursuer, Demon Slayer!
