Thud!
The instant the Demon Person on the Altar Platform saw Ye Qiyan, the trident he had been clutching tightly dropped straight to the ground.
"How did he find this place!?"
The woman calmly walked over to the trident, stood it upright again, and placed it back in the Demon Person's hand.
"Don't be afraid. You haven't lost yet."
"Right! I still... I haven't lost yet!"
Though fear had overtaken him before the battle, the Demon Person had made preparations before Ye Qiyan actually arrived here.
The Demon Person grabbed Ding Xiuqi, who hung to one side, and stared fixedly at the young human stepping onto the altar stairs, as well as the demon beside him, who inexplicably unsettled him and even filled him with inexplicable anger.
Was this woman also the will of a Demon Card? But did she exist among the Demon Cards?
Tap, tap, tap...
Ye Qiyan climbed the stairs.
Step by step, without a trace of fear, he advanced slowly and steadily toward the top.
The Oddity Species gathered here tried to stop him, but Red Tears, who followed beside him, easily cut them all down.
He had brought no other companions.
To obtain one Demon Card, he and Red Tears alone were enough.
"Stop! Human! You! You!"
The Demon Person stood at the end of the stairway, his eyes bulging with rage, like a frightened stray dog yapping wildly, trying to scare off the butcher who could kill him at will.
But no matter how fiercely a stray dog barked, it would only end up as meat on the chopping block.
"I told you to stop! Can't you hear me!?"
The stray dog—no, the Demon Person—continued shouting in his coarse voice.
As Ye Qiyan drew closer to the top, the fear in his heart deepened.
