Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Propping her body up with a sword, the injured Lingshan could barely stand with Jiao Xi’s healing, but caught in a wheel, her bones were injured, and much rest was required before she could move freely again.

Yet as soon as she was almost healed, Lingshan couldn’t sit still, she lifted the heavy sword and strode forward,

”This place is too far from the battlefield, who knows what dangers they’ll encounter.

I’m almost recovered, I’ll lend a hand.”

After only a few steps, an unbearable sharp pain shot through Lingshan’s ankle, and she stumbled forward.

Thanks to Luo Hasta’s timely reaction, wrapping her waist with tentacles, Lingshan was prevented from falling directly to the ground.

”Big sister, don’t push yourself.”

Luo Hasta had damaged multiple tentacles, magic power nearly depleted, after drinking one or two bottles of potions to restore life and magic power, the situation slightly improved, though still insufficient to return to battle.

Jiao Xi glared at Lingshan, warning, ”Don’t act recklessly, in this state, going to the battlefield will only hold everyone back. Everyone is struggling to survive, so there’s no time to rescue you.”

Being admonished like that by Jiao Xi, Lingshan heavily stabbed the sword into the ground, accepting reality with great resentment.

Just then, two stealthy black spiritual bodies silently drifted to Lingshan’s feet, two black hands lunging for Lingshan’s thighs.

Luo Hasta was the first to notice the anomaly, tightened the tentacles, pulling Lingshan to his side, letting the two black arms miss their mark.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a dark spiritual spurt pierced towards Luo Hasta’s back, Jiao Xi clenched his hands, summoning a shield to block the strike for Luo Hasta.

Upon closely inspecting, Jiao Xi recognized two somewhat familiar figures, both were once companions who fought alongside [Island Drifting], but now they had turned into spiritual bodies.

Just as the attack ended, the two black spiritual bodies lunged at Jiao Xi.

Hidden in the shadows, Gao Fang grinned, his golden teeth particularly conspicuous on the dim street, he too had gained strength from the demon, the demon’s strength had filled his last shortcoming,

”This bunch isn’t simple to hunt. I’ll have to go in myself.”

Countless black ghosts emerged from Gao Fang’s feet, encircling him, forming a fly-shaped spiritual body armor.

Before Gao Fang could take action, a figure landed at the alley entrance where he stood, a green Ghost Little Fish resting on his shoulder.

Seeing this figure, holding a Lou Kong long sword, Gao Fang’s smile abruptly ceased,

”Weren’t you fighting with the demon? How are you here?”

”Is your spiritual body number too low to sense what’s happening over there?” Yang Yu’s feet suddenly accelerated, thrusting a sword at [Generous Gao Fang], ”Here’s some bad news, the demon you summoned has been defeated by me.”

”What!”

Gao Fang bared his teeth, the glow on his golden teeth slightly dimmer, Yang Yu mercilessly thrust his sword towards Gao Fang’s chest.

Countless black spiritual bodies surged, constructing a Heart Protector for Gao Fang.

If Yang Yu was using a regular sword, this attack would have been deflected by the Heart Protector, but the [Dark Breaking Blade] could cause massive damage to spiritual bodies, effortlessly piercing through Gao Fang’s chest.

In an instant, Gao Fang could feel countless magic power flowing out from his body.

Drawing the sword, Yang Yu launched a follow-up attack, yet unexpectedly the spiritual bodies on Gao Fang tore Gao Fang’s body apart, evading this attack.

Yang Yu clicked his tongue in wonder.

After donning such armor, did it turn oneself into a spiritual body too?

But do you think this is useful?

While drinking potions earlier, Yang Yu deliberately didn’t fully fill his blood bar, intentionally leaving much space for situations like this.

A flash of red light crossed his eyes, Yang Yu quickly accelerated, the [Dark Breaking Blade] swiftly slashing through the shattered body of Gao Fang, dealing tons of damage.

A mouthful of blood spit from Gao Fang’s mouth, staining his full set of gold teeth, the illusory black swayed and merged together, Gao Fang unexpectedly laughed instead of angering, emitting an extremely eerie laughter,

”Do you really think this world is good?

A group of vested interests, for selfish desires, completely disregard others’ lives, arbitrarily trampling us.

This world has already become terribly bad, and so has my life!

Uproot all the rot entirely, make the rotten roots vanish forever from this world, only then will the world embrace an unprecedented transformation.”

Yang Yu swung his Sword Blade, smashing onto [Generous Gao Fang], this time Gao Fang did not tear his body, all spiritual bodies tightly adhered to him, forming a solid armor, withstanding Yang Yu’s attacks.

Seeing Yang Yu easily injure himself at that moment, Gao Fang understood that Yang Yu defeating him, with poor mobility and without much spiritual protection, was only a matter of time.

Tough resistance was nothing but a means to buy some time, but now there’s nothing left to delay.

If fighting isn’t plausible and escape seems nearly impossible, then try to win him over instead!

”You came here, attacking at all costs, indicates you’re rather aware.

But does such a world worthy of using your life to protect and save?

Or are you no different from those who oppressed us?

Outwardly claim yourself as nobles, chosen ones by the goddess, yet act worse than swine and dogs.

How much do you know about our Curse Sect? How much do you know about us?

Do you know what we are fighting against?

I was once a resident in a noble’s territory, most of the grain we harvested each year is taken by them, living in hunger and cold every day.

And he wouldn’t show any generosity, living in extravagance, treating us like cattle or horses.

In such an environment, our bodies and souls became twisted.

Do you know why I have a mouth full of gold teeth?

This is not a show-off! I too want a set of real teeth!

To snatch a bit of the so-called ’master’s’ leftovers, we fought fiercely against each other, tooth breakage was common.

Do you know why, even in this situation, I kept laughing endlessly?

This is not because I want to laugh.

In that condition, showing any sign of negativity could lead to death, we had to keep smiling at all times to survive.

Those who remorselessly trample others, on dignity deserve to die!

They act with tyranny because they have henchmen like you!

And we strive till now to change all this!”

Yang Yu wielded his Sword Blade, slashing at the fully defensive Gao Fang, listening to Gao Fang’s unshaken voice even under attack, Yang Yu seemed to see Gao Fang’s past.

Saw a young man, constantly exploited, entered Lord Mansion becoming a servant, living in fear every day, eventually awakened the heart of rebellion, step by step joining the Curse Sect.

This was very similar to the villains Yang Yu had seen in many games before.

To this, Yang Yu provided a simple, direct response:

”I sympathize with your plight.

But the world isn’t entirely as bad as you imagine.

Innocent people, those beautiful things, shouldn’t completely disappear due to your plans.”
