Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

"You want to escape?"

Nikita shouted as she rushed towards the entrance.

Almore, Haykal and Carolina quickly followed her and flew towards the entrance.

But just as they were about to leave, they heard a loud scream coming from behind. "Princess Nikita, please help..."

However, before Janston could finish his words, another loud scream rang out.

This scream was so loud that it even covered the battle and shouts of everyone at the valley. It caught everyone's attention.

Fade, Nikita, and the others also turned their heads to look.

Then, their expressions changed almost at the same time.

Because Janston, who had just been rescued by Nikita, was lying on the ground with blood gushing out of his chest. At a closer look, it seemed like there was a hole in his chest. Someone had taken his heart out. Clearly, the screams earlier were Janston's when he was attacked.

"Janston is dead!"

"Who killed him?"

"Janston is at Stage 7 of the Fetus Refine Realm. I wonder who have the ability to kill him?"

Just when everyone was confused and nervous, a shadow flew past them and made its way to the entrance of the valley.

Everyone looked over and saw the figure of the man at the entrance.

The person was a short, shriveled old man.

He had a dark gray robe wrapped around his body. It looked dirty. His cheeks were thin and he had sunken eyes.

At this moment, the old man was holding a jade tablet in his right hand. The front half of his right arm was stained with blood.

Obviously, the old man must have snatched the jade tablet from Janston's hands.

"You old man! You were the one who killed Janston. You deserve to die!" Nikita gritted her teeth in rage.

After all, she had just rescued Janston and was in the midst of dealing with Fade.

But now, this old man appeared out of nowhere and killed Janston. It made Nikita feel very embarrassed and annoyed.

While speaking, Nikita had already condensed her positive energy and was ready to attack the old man.

But at the last moment, Carolina, who rarely spoke, suddenly said, "Princess Nikita, wait!" "Really? You're asking me to wait at this critical moment?" Nikita glared at Carolina. There was also some confusion on her face. Carolina remained expressionless as she said coldly, "If I'm not wrong, that old man must be the 'Nine-fingered Devil'. He is not easy to deal with. I suggest you don't act rashly."

"Nine-fingered Devil!"

As soon as this name came out of Carolina's mouth, the expression of everyone around changed. They looked dignified and even frightened.

That was because the "Nine-fingered Devil" was an old devil, who had lived near Taeyoon Domain, about two to three thousand years ago.

It was said that Nine- fingered Devil had cultivated the demonic skill, which consists of killing and robbing. He had committed all sorts of crimes. He had wreaked havoc on countless people. However, due to his powerful strength, he had been active for hundreds of years and had yet to be captured.

Later, in one incident, the old devil harmed a woman. But unfortunately, the woman turned out to be the illegitimate daughter of a prince of a capital city at that time.

This angered the prince, so he wanted to arrest him. He asked the masters in the domain to go out together and hunt down the old devil.

It had to be said that this old devil was really powerful. He still managed to escape after being chased by the other party for ten years. In the end, although he was seriously injured, he was still never caught.

Originally, everyone thought that the old devil was either dead or seriously injured. Perhaps his strength had declined and that he would never appear again.

However, eighty years later, the old devil reappeared and he was stronger than before. He even took it upon himself to find the prince and kill more than a dozen people in his family before escaping again.

It was because of that battle that the old devil's name reappeared again. It was also because he had lost one finger in that battle that he was given the nickname "Ninefingered Devil". It made him even more famous than before.

However, when the Nine- fingered Devil remerged, he did not commit as much crimes as before. He was also much more cautious. That was why he had not been caught. His reputation had also risen among the people.

In recent decades, the Nine-fingered Devil had only ever attacked twice. Therefore, not many people could remember this old devil.

However, no one expected that on

the day of the opening of the Xuanshuang Valley, this "Nine- fingered Devil" would make another move. Furthermore, his first move was incomparably vicious. He killed a Stage 7 Fetus Refine Realm expert, snatched his token, and entered the Xuanshuang Valley.

Evidently, Nine-fingered Devil's target was the Yuanyan Wood.

Just now, by the time Carolina shouted, the Nine-fingered Devil had already entered the Xuanshuang Valley.

Seeing this, Nikita came back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "So what if he's the Nine-fingered Devil? I don't care how powerful he is. He is a wanted criminal."

"If I see him in Xuanshuang Valley later, I will definitely kill him."

Carolina looked at Nikita's angry expression and did not say anything else. With a whoosh, she flew towards the entrance.

Seeing this, Almore and Haykal also moved.

"Princess Nikita, calm down. Let's enter the valley!"

"Remember that the early bird always catches the worm."

While speaking, the three of them also flew into the entrance.

Fade naturally heard the name "Nine-fingered Devil". Although he was not familiar with this name, he made sure to remember the person and regarded him as one of the people he should be careful when he entered the Xuanshuang Valley.

After all, if that old man could kill Janston with one strike, it was very likely that this Nine- fingered Devil's strength had already reached Stage

the Fetus Refine Realm. In fact, his combat strength was considered formidable amongst the cultivators in Stage 9.

Fade made a mental note to remember this

name. Then, he took out the token he got from Emond and entered the Xuanshuang Valley.

After passing through the semi transparent film and entering the valley, Fade immediately felt a warm current rushing towards him. He felt as if he had entered an oven. Fade calmed down and observed the surroundings..

Originally, the Xuanshuang Valley was a valley between two snow mountains. Generally speaking, it should be covered with ice and snow. The temperature should be low.

But at this moment, all Fade could see was endless fields of red. The hot air was steaming. It was as if the whole valley was burning.

The ground constantly emitted scorching energy, creating a high temperature environment.

"I remember that the Yuanyan Wood only grows in hot environment. The Yan family must have transformed the Xuanshuang Valley in order to plant the Yuanyan Wood here." Fade guessed in his heart. At this moment, Fade heard people exclaiming around him.

"Why is it so hot in here?"

"D*mn, I'm going to burn."

"I have to activate my positive energy. I need to protect myself from this heat."

"I don't know how long I can last in this environment."
