Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Teng Yi and Xue Jin felt a shiver down their spines when they heard what Ren said. They looked at each other seeing the subtle fear in their eyes.

'What kind of game is this person going to make us do?'

'Is he going to make us kill each other and whoever wins gets to live?'

'He could also make us into his slaves if we lose.'

The two of them had similar thoughts as they had done these kinds of things before to other people, but now they were the ones on the receiving end. It has been centuries since they were last humiliated like this. Yet despite their shame and anger, they could not say anything against Ren.

On the other hand, Mo Sheng was dumbfounded by the scene before him. Even now he was still trying to process what Ren said. So in short everything he did was just for Ren's amusement. Even though he took that battle seriously, even willing to sacrifice his life to avenge his descendants, yet to his opponent that was nothing more than them playing.

The three waited for Ren to continue what he was going to say but he seems to be too deep in thought. Usually, one would think that this was the best time for them to flee, as the opponent was distracted but the Ancestors of the Xue and Teng Clans knew that wasn't the case here. Their instincts were telling them that the moment they try to flee from Ren would only result in their deaths.

In fact, every time Teng Yi was about to use his life-saving escape talisman, he noticed that Ren would look at him. If it was just once it would've been a coincidence, but even while deep in thought Ren would still glance at him every time he thought of using it.

Even Xue Jin who had a technique that should've assured him that he could escape was unusable at the moment.

As they continued to wait for Ren to tell them how they can survive, their anxieties grew. Normally in front of their descendants, they would act like wizened sages that have seen the truth of life. They would even say things like seeing how prosperous their clans were they felt like they could die without regrets. They believed that they were not afraid of death, but the moment the time had come they felt desperate and afraid. In the end, the longer a person has lived the more that person doesn't want to die. After a while, Teng Yi could no longer wait and spoke to Ren.

"What kind of game are we going to play?"

"Hmm, oh, I'm still thinking about it. Normally I would've said something like you can come and attack me in any way you like and if you're able to somehow wound me it's your win. Yet after seeing you two, that game wouldn't work."

"Why is that?"

"It wouldn't be fair if that was to be our game since you would certainly lose. I've seen the way you guys move and I'm pretty sure of what fighting styles you use. You over there should be someone that likes to use spells, and the other guy should be a fist-fighter. Unfortunately, neither your fists nor your spells would be able to even penetrate my flesh. Also, based on your conversation with the Ancestor of the Mo Clan, it means you're weaker than him, then I can assume that you two don't have any technique that could match up to his saber technique. The only other way for you to harm me is if you at least have a divine-ranked weapon. So do you have something like that?''

Every word that Ren said had damaged Xue Jin and Teng Yi's pride, yet even then they could not refute what Ren said. The two could only shake their heads in response.

Even though Ren had already anticipated it seeing them shaking their heads he was a little disappointed. Ren sighed as he started thinking again about what to do with these two.

"I got it, instead of you attacking me, I'll be the one attacking you." The moment Ren said those words, Xue Jin and Teng Yi had this weird expression on their faces.

"So in the end you're just going to kill us."

"All this talk about being fair and giving us a chance was just a farce, a cruel joke to give us hope then take it away."

"Whoah, the two of you misunderstood. Of course, I'm not going to attack you at full power. I will be only flicking your foreheads."

"That's all, you just want to flick our foreheads?"

"Yeah, just one forehead flick and if you survive you can leave."

"If we survive?"

"Don't underestimate me, even flicking your foreheads with my finger can be deadly. So you two better prepare yourselves and use any means at your disposal to survive my forehead flick. So who between you two wants to go first?" After Ren asked this question Xue Jin took a step forward.

"I'll go first." 'I'll show this arrogant brat not to underestimate me.' Xue Jin took a defensive stance as he strengthened his body with his Qi.

"Are you ready? You better use everything you got now so you don't regret it later." Ren spoke as he approached Xue Jin.

"I know that I'm weaker than you but do not look down on me so much. My Clan focuses on body tempering, and among all the Clans in the entire Swallow City, my clan has the strongest bodies. We train our entire bodies to make it into a weapon."

"I see... Before I flick your forehead just in case you die do you have any last words?"

"There's no need for that since I'm not going to fall today. Just be sure to keep your promise and let me go when I survive your forehead flick." Hearing how confident Xue Jin was, Ren shrugged his shoulders and was about ready to flick his forehead.

"Don't worry I'm a man of my word, if you survive then you can leave. Get ready, I'm about to flick your forehead, one, two, three!"

Ren initiated his forehead flick. As Ren's finger was getting close to Xue Jin's forehead, Xue Jin finally felt the threat of death from this simple flick. Xue Jin quickly burnt his life force to strengthen his body to his utmost limits. At this moment he felt like he could take just about anything without sustaining damage.

Teng Yi and Mo Sheng could feel Xue Jin burning away his life force and were confused. Even though Ren was unbelievably strong, that was just a simple flick of his fingers, he didn't even use any spiritual energy and only used his physical strength. Why was there a need to burn away your life force against such an attack? The moment they thought of that question, the answer was immediately presented to them.

Ren's finger had made contact with Xue Jin's forehead a powerful booming sound echoed throughout the mountain peak making the mountain tremble, and then Xue Jin's entire head exploded. Not only that but even Xue Jin's Nascent Soul was extinguished by that simple attack.
