Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 567 – A Mortal Man

Mo Fan was surprised to see that the young man took the Dragon's Breath head-on without receiving so much as a scratch. It was such a shocking sight, as not only did the young man block the attack but he could not sense any traces of the young man using origin energy.

There was also this indescribable fear Mo Fan felt when he looked at the young man. Unlike the Sand Dragon where he felt fear because he and the others knew how powerful Dragons were, the fear he felt from the young man seems to stem from his very being. 

While Mo Fan and his companions were still in a state of shock the Sand Dragon swung its tail at the young man in the sky. The young man who looked like an ant to the Sand Dragon raised his hand to block the tail. Normally the young man was supposed to be crushed by the Dragon's tail, but instead, the young man caught the Dragon's tail spun the Dragon, and threw it upward into the sky. 

…

Ren sighed as he wanted to crush the Sand Dragon's tail but instead was only able to stop it. He thought since the enemy was so weak even in his tired state he could easily do it, but he had either overestimated himself or underestimated his opponent. Seeing that he had barely any stamina and mana left, Ren summoned Snertal. 

The moment Snertal appeared the Sand Dragon started roaring madly, and Snertal responded in kind. Ren could sense what Snertal wanted, but he too wanted the same thing. Ren sighed as he pointed Snertal at the falling Sand Dragon. 

"Let's get this over with, I'll allow you to eat half of the Sand Dragon."

In response to Ren's words, Snertal roared happily. Ren took a bit of mana from Snertal to perform a sword technique. As the Sand Dragon was falling towards Ren, it once again used its Dragon's breath, yet unlike before Ren did not allow the breath to get near him as he intercepted it. 

Ren's sword sliced through not only the Dragon's breath but the Sand Dragon as well. The surrounding people could not believe their eyes as Ren sliced the body of the Sand Dragon like it was butter. Yet that wasn't the most shocking part, what happened next was the true eye-opener.

…

Mo fan watched as the young man's sword devoured half of the Sand Dragon. It was a weird sight to see, as a sword eating the meat of a Dragon. Still, it wasn't just the sword that started eating even the young man was eating the Sand Dragon. 

The powerful young man ate the Sand Dragon's body raw, he did not bother removing the scales as he chewed through them. 

Mo Fan and his companions could do nothing but stare at the young man waiting for him to finish his meal. While they waited they could not move a single inch afraid they might offend the young man. They dare not breathe too loudly in fear that they might disturb the young man's eating. 

As he waited Mo Fan could finally feel a trace of origin within the young man, but to his surprise, it was not even enough to forge one's body, he was basically a mortal man. As he was deep in thought Mo Fan suddenly felt that the young man's origin energy increasing rapidly, it was like the young man was sucking the origin of the surrounding area into his own. For every bite, for every breath, for every movement, the young man did it seem to gather the origin energy. 

…

Ren felt better after he was done eating the Sand Dragon in fact, he felt a bit stronger than before. Once Ren and Snertal were done eating he took his sword and placed it back into his shadow. Ren's attention then shifted to the native people present. 

When Mo Fan saw Ren looking at them he and the others couldn't help but shiver in fear as this was a being that could kill and eat Dragons. Mo Fan quickly knelt to the ground, seeing what he did the others followed suit. 

"Thank you Senior for saving our lives."

"Thank you, Senior!" 

"I didn't really do it to save your lives, I just so happened to be hungry."

Mo Fan was surprised to hear what Ren said. Once a person goes past the Golden Core he would no longer need to eat or sleep. Seeing how easily Ren killed the Sand Dragon he should at least be at the Nascent Soul realm level of power. This just made Mo Fan even more confused as to what manner of being Ren was. Still, after a moment of silence, he quickly bowed his head. 

"Still, it doesn't change the fact that Senior had saved our lives. I'm Mo Fan a servant of the Mo Clan, I and my clansmen promise to repay this life debt." 

"Hmmm, is that so… Then I actually need something from you right now." 

"Please tell us, Senior." 

"You guys are going back to where you came from, right?" 

"Yes." 

"It's a city or someplace where people gather, correct?" 

"… Yes, we came from Swallow City." 

"That's nice to hear, I want you to bring me with you." 

"… Is that all? Of course, we will gladly guide Senior to Swallow City." 

"Oh, another thing." 

"What else does Senior need from us?" 

"A few seconds from now I'm going to sleep, and I want you guys to carry my unconscious body. I'm going to warn you guys now if any of you try anything funny to my body while I sleep, it will not end well for you. The moment I sense any killing intent even while asleep my body will automatically react and kill whoever was emitting that killing intent. So you better think twice if you have such thoughts."

When Mo Fan and the others heard Ren's warning they gulped. Mo Fan then quickly nodded his head and responded. 

"Of course, we will never try to harm our savior. You can trust as Senior, we will properly protect your body as you sleep." 

"Very well, I will place my trust on you for now."

After Ren finished saying what he had to say he closed his eyes and his body fell to the ground. He had suddenly fallen asleep making Mo Fan and the others look at him with expressions on their faces. 

'I heard that masters of Senior's level were eccentric but this…. This is unexpected.'
