Chapter 34

## Chapter Guide

**The Human World, I'm Here** (人间, 大爷来了 *Rén Jiān, Dà Yé Lái Le*) is the thirty-fourth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

The demons watch in horror as it is revealed that the gushing blood is coming from Crimson Blood's wrist, whose hand was destroyed. Realizing that he offended someone out of his league, Crimson Blood adulates Che Yongtai for his power and begs for mercy by swearing to become his loyal servant. Che Yongtai calls him a "small fry" who isn't even worthy to carry his shoes before slicing the demon into pieces with his Body Splitting Spikes spell, frightening the nearby demons.

Black Water commends Che Yongtai for his strength. Believing Xi Sha to be weaker, Black Water uses his Skintight Purgatory fighting technique and attacks Xi Sha, kicking up a cloud of debris. The onlooking demons comment that Black Water is most proficient in close-quarters combat. By using his claws and jaw to slash at and tear apart his enemies, the injuries he can inflict are extremely gruesome. Hearing the sounds of flesh being torn from bones, the terrified demons speculate that the girl was shredded to pieces. As the cloud lifts, Xi Sha is revealed to be eating from the corpse of Black Water, horrifying them once again.

The Defender of the Left states that despite being second-rate demon kings, for Crimson Blood and Black Water to be killed so quickly and easily is frightening. The Defender of the Right reminds him that the two demon lords are not even at 10% of their original power. Yan Wen says that by sending the two to the human world to practice and gain experience, they might be able to awaken more of their powers. She then uses her magic and opens a portal to the human world before informing Che Yongtai and Xi Sha of their mission to seize the Heaven Crystal. Before she can provide them with details however, Che Yongtai enters the portal while assuring them that he alone can complete the task. Yan Wen then orders Xi Sha to follow Che Yongtai and tell him the particulars, but the latter refuses, stating that it is disgraceful for her to follow behind her servant and returns to the Blood Pool.

While she is frustrating over the two, Left-hand Man warns Yan Wen that sending one demon lord to the human world is troublesome enough, as their murderous dispositions could result in widespread death that would ruin their years of effort in maintaining balance with the Department of Night. Acknowledging the advice, the ruler of the Underworld prepares to follow Che Yongtai to the human world and discipline him on the extent of his behavior, only to discover that the portal disappeared. A random demon informs her that Xi Sha ate the portal, utterly shocking Yan Wen and her two assistants. Noting that it will take three days to recreate the portal, the three begin to worry.

Meanwhile, in the human world, Che Yongtai arrives in a metro station amidst a crowd of people, drawing attention due to his bizarre attire. Che Yongtai becomes irritated by the countless "small fries" around him and prepares to slaughter them as a means of announcing his arrival to the human world.
