Chapter 885: l Am Tian Chenyu!

”How long do we have to continue this lifestyle? Itʼs been twenty years since that incident, and I have barely seen my son since then. Although I am happy that heʼs no longer in a coma, this isnʼt that much different. I can even count the amount of times weʼve talked to each other during the past 20 years…” Tian Chenyuʼs mother sighed out loud, complaining to her husband, Tian Aowei.

”It can take years if not decades for a broken heart to heal. We must be patient,” he said.

”What if he never recovers? Weʼre not cultivators. We donʼt have hundreds of years to spend with each other.”

”Then what do you suggest? We cannot force his heart to heal. Or what, do you want another son? Although youʼre past that age, itʼs not impossible.”

”What? No! I donʼt want another son! How can you even suggest that? If youʼre suggesting that we replace Chenyu with another son, how is that any different than abandoning Chenyu?!”

”Calm down, I was just being sarcastic. But there is truly nothing we can do now but be patient.”

”It might seem like heʼs not recovering, but that is not true. Things are much better now than 20 years ago. Nowadays, he leaves his room once a week, but back then, it would be a miracle to see him outside his room even once a month.”

”At this rate, I will be an old lady before we can become a real family again.”

”Better late than never, right?”

”I guess so…”

”By the way, itʼs almost that time of the year again. Do you think heʼll visit their graves this year?” Tian Aowei suddenly asked.

”Unlikely.” She sighed.

”Do you think heʼll ever fall in love again? Thatʼs another problem we must worry about— our grandchildren…”

”Who knows…” Tian Aowei shook his head.

”Anyways, itʼs getting late. Goodnight, dear.”

”Goodnight.”

A week later, right as the Tian Family prepared to visit the Ai Familyʼs gravesites, they received dreadful news that changed their plans.

”What? Demons have entered the city? When did this happen? How many?” Tian Aowei asked the servant who told him the news.

”A-About an hour ago! And there are three demons! They are rampaging the city even as we speak!”

”Shit! Why did they have to show up today on all days?!” Tian Aowei cursed out loud.

And he continued, ”Let everyone in the household know about the situation! We will hide underground for the next three days!”

”Yes!”

While the servants in the household began scrambling towards the underground area beneath the Tian Familyʼs household that was created to hide from demons, Tian Aowei and his wife went to warn Tian Chenyu of the situation.

”Chenyu! Hurry up and open the door! Demons have invaded our city, and there are three of them! We must hurry and hide underground until they leave!” His mother banged on his door that was locked shut.

However, there was no response from Tian Chenyu, almost as though he wasnʼt inside his room.

”Chenyu! Are you asleep?! Wake up!” His mother continued banging on his door.

”Whereʼs Chenyu?!” Tian Aowei showed up shortly after and asked her.

”I donʼt know! He should be in his room, but heʼs not responding! What if something had happened to him?!”

”Shit! We donʼt have much time left! Move! I am going to break down his door!” Tian Aowei said as he approached Tian Chenyuʼs room.

However, right as he stood in front of the door, the ground suddenly shook, and a loud noise resounded behind them simultaneously.

Tian Aowei and his wife slowly turned around to see a tall shadow standing in a cloud of dust about 20 meters from them.

Once the dust cloud disappeared, the figure within became visible.

ʼA-A demon?! Weʼre dead!ʼ Tian Aowei cried inwardly as his body trembled in fear from the demonʼs aura that radiated with killing intent.

”N-No… Not like this…”

His wife directly fell to her knees and began crying the moment she saw the demon.

Once the demon noticed their presence, it began walking towards their direction.

”Mortals, huh? I wouldʼve preferred cultivators, but I guess youʼll do just fine as an appetizer before my main meal.”

The demon licked its lips as it closed their distance within seconds.

Tian Aowei and his wife remained frozen as the demon stood right before them, as they were too terrified to even run away.

”I love you, darling…” Tian Aowei mumbled in a low voice as the demon opened its mouth.

However, just as the demon tried to take a bite of Tian Aoweiʼs face, a cold voice resounded from the room behind them.

”The stench of a demon… How unpleasant.”

The door behind Tian Aowei and his wife suddenly flew open, and Tian Chenyu appeared from the room with a sword in his grasp, stabbing the demon right in its mouth.

After sticking his sword in the demonʼs face, Tian Chenyu kicked the demon in its stomach, sending it flying.

”Itʼs dangerous here. You two should leave.” Tian Chenyu said to his parents without looking at them.

”C-Chenyu?!” They stared at him with shocked looks on their faces.

Tian Aowei quickly snapped out of his daze and picked up his wife before running away.

”W-Wait! We cannot leave him with the demon! Heʼll die!” His wife shouted.

However, Tian Aowei ignored his wife and continued to carry her away from the scene.

The moment Tian Chenyuʼs parents left, the demon got back to its feet and stared at Tian Chenyu while baring its sharp teeth at him.

”A mere mortal! How dare you!” The demon roared before running at him.

Seeing the demon running at him, Tian Chenyuʼs hands and legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, he quickly regained control over his body, swinging the sword in his grasp at the incoming demon.

Due to its arrogance, the demon didnʼt even bother to block Tian Chenyuʼs strike and allowed him to sever its arm.

”Useless! Itʼs useless! Even if you cut me into a million pieces with that sword, I will fully recover within seconds like nothing ever happened!” The demon laughed madly as Tian Chenyu severed its other arm.

”Why donʼt we put that to the test?” Tian Chenyu said in a calm voice.

He then severed the demonʼs legs.

”I told you, itʼs useless!” The demon continued to laugh.

However, it stopped laughing a few moments later when its limbs still hadnʼt recovered.

ʼW-Whatʼs going on?! Why isnʼt my body recovering?!ʼ The demon was puzzled, but it didnʼt panic— at least not yet.

It turned to look at its severed arms and legs, and to its absolute shock, its limbs had suddenly turned into stone!

”W-What is the meaning of this?! What did you do to me?!” The demon roared at Tian Chenyu, who was standing in front of it and looking down on it like it was trash.

”What did I do? Nothing much. I simply sealed your body, preventing it from regenerating… I think. This is actually my first time doing something like this, so I am really glad that itʼs working as Iʼd thought.”

”Y-You sealed my body and my ability to regenerate? I-Impossible! Thereʼs no way humans could have such power! Who are you?!”

”I am the one who will be hunting down every single demon in this world until there are none of you left. I am the one who will put an end to this era of demons terrorizing humans. Iʼm your— demonsʼ worst nightmare. I am Tian Chenyu!” Tian Chenyu said with a cold expression on his face.
