Chapter 279 Humph! Overestimating your own abilities!
Could this be Death Valley? Chu Tian's heart trembled and he quickened his pace.
As he got closer, he could see clearly that it was a large manor with high walls and strict security. Two huge lanterns were hung at the entrance of the manor, and the dim light illuminated the open space in front of the door. Several knights in black were guarding the door, watching everything around them vigilantly.
Chu Tian hid behind a big tree and carefully observed the situation in the manor. He found that black knights kept coming in and out of the manor, and seemed to be busy with something.
He was thinking about how to get in and find out what was going on when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "What are you doing?"
Chu Tian was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see a man in black standing behind him, holding a shiny steel knife in his hand.
Chu Tian thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly explained, "I was just passing by here and got lost."
The man in black looked him up and down and sneered, "Lost? I think you want to find out the secrets of our Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Chu Tian was shocked. He didn't expect that his identity was exposed. He tried to remain calm and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just an ordinary passerby."
The man in black obviously didn't believe him. He raised his steel knife and said viciously, "Stop talking nonsense! Do you want to confess yourself, or do you want me to do it?"
Chu Tian knew that he was in danger today, so instead of waiting to die, he might as well fight to the death. He took a deep breath, got ready, and prepared to fight.
"Hmph! You don't know your own limitations!" The man in black sneered and swung his knife at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian dodged quickly, and the black-clothed man's blade brushed past the corner of his clothes, bringing up a gust of wind.
Chu Tian knew that he was no match for the man in black, so he could only rely on his flexible body to deal with him. He dodged the man in black's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
The two fought back and forth for more than ten rounds. Chu Tian gradually became exhausted and had several wounds on his body.
Seeing that Chu Tian was at the end of his strength, the man in black became even more complacent and attacked even more ruthlessly.
At this critical moment, there was a sudden shout: "Stop!"
A tall man in black walked out of the manor, wearing a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
"What's going on?" the masked man asked coldly.
"Master, this man is wandering around outside the manor stealthily. I suspect he is here to explore the secrets of our Demonic Sect." The man in black said hurriedly.
The masked man walked up to Chu Tian, looked him up and down, and said, "Who are you? Why are you wandering here?"
Chu Tian knew that he had been exposed, so he stopped hiding it and said, "My name is Chu Tian, and I came here to find the Heavenly Demon Sect."
The masked man was slightly stunned when he heard Chu Tian's name, and then asked: "What do you want to do with the Demon Sect?"
Chu Tian took a deep breath and said, "I want to seek revenge on the demon!"
When the masked man heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he burst into laughter: "Just you? You want to seek revenge on the demon? You really overestimate your own abilities!"
Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "I know that my current strength is not enough to compete with the demon, but I will definitely work hard to practice. One day, I will defeat him and avenge my family!"
The masked man looked at Chu Tian, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said: "Young man, you have ambition! However, it may not be that easy for you to seek revenge on the demon."
Chu Tian asked: "Why?"
The masked man said: "Because, I am the devil!"
Chu Tian was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that the masked man in front of him was the demon he was looking for!
Tianmo took off his mask, revealing a handsome face. He looked at Chu Tian and said, "Chu Tian, I know your heart is full of hatred, but I hope you can let go of the hatred and start your life again."
Chu Tian looked at Tianmo, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. He didn't know whether he should believe Tianmo's words, nor did he know whether he should let go of his hatred.
Tian Mo seemed to see Chu Tian's hesitation and said, "I know it's hard for you to accept it for the time being, but I hope you can consider my words carefully."
After saying that, Tianmo turned and walked into the manor.
Chu Tian stood there for a long time without moving. He didn't know what to do or where to go.
The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if telling an ancient story.
The night wind rolled up the fallen leaves, spinning like ghosts under Chu Tian's feet. The words of the demon echoed in his mind, like a thunder, exploding his original cognition. He clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, but he felt no pain at all. Hatred, like a poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around his heart, making it impossible for him to breathe.
Could it be that he just gave up? Let go of the hatred and start over? How could this be easy! The scene of his parents' tragic death was engraved in his mind like a brand, lingering. How could he forget those bloody scenes and those desperate cries?
"No! I can't give up!" Chu Tian roared at the night sky, his voice full of pain and unwillingness.
At this moment, the gate of the manor opened again, and a figure slowly walked out.
"You haven't left yet?" It was the devil.
Chu Tian looked up suddenly, flames of hatred burning in his eyes.
Tian Mo walked up to Chu Tian, sighed, and said: "I know it's hard for you to accept, but I hope you can understand that hatred will only make you more painful."
"What do you know!" Chu Tian roared, "You killed my whole family and destroyed everything I had. What qualifications do you have to make me let go of my hatred!"
The demon was silent for a moment, then said, "I admit that I have made many mistakes and hurt many people. But now I have reformed."
"Reform yourself?" Chu Tian sneered, "Do you think that a simple repentance can make up for the sins you have committed?"
"I know I can't," Tianmo said calmly, "but I hope you can give me a chance to make up for my mistakes."
Chu Tian stared at Tianmo, his eyes full of suspicion.
Tian Mo continued, "I know you want revenge, but with your current strength, you can never be my opponent. Rather than dying in vain, it is better to improve your own strength first. When you have enough strength, it will not be too late to seek revenge on me."
Chu Tian's heart began to waver. He knew that what Tian Mo said was right. With his current strength, he could never be Tian Mo's opponent. If he went to Tian Mo for revenge now, he would undoubtedly be courting death.
"I can give you a chance," Tianmo said, "I can teach you martial arts and make you stronger."
