I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 153: The Demon King has been killed!

It's almost impossible for it to grow back. If that thing were still intact, the Myriad Refined Medicine Demon would bet he could reattach it, but now that it's broken, it's a bit of a dilemma.

Hands and feet can grow back, and other parts of the body can grow back, but this majestic and powerful thing... just won't grow back.

It seemed as if it were the will of Heaven.

However, he really didn't want to tell Lin Yang, fearing that if he did, Lin Yang might have a moment of despair and take his own life.

He deserves the title of master.

I feel guilty.

……

The Earth Python Demon King flicked its tongue, rolled the Purple Dendrobium Spirit Flower into its mouth, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, this treasure wasn't stolen by that weak human.

However, after meeting with the demon envoy, his home was stolen by humans. How could he tolerate this?!

"Thirteen demon spirits, come to me at once!"

The Earth Python Demon King roared, and the shockwaves from it caused the forest to churn.

Before long, thirteen beastly figures arrived from all directions, landing around the Earth Python Demon King and bowing to it.

"Greetings, Demon King!"

All the demons and spirits spoke in unison.

"Demon King, what are your orders?"

One of the pig demon spirits asked.

But as soon as it opened its mouth, the Earth Python Demon King suddenly looked over, flicked its tongue, and pierced and tore the pig demon spirit to pieces!

It died cleanly and swiftly. This pig demon spirit was responsible for guarding the Earth Python Demon King's cave when he was away.

But he failed to fulfill his responsibilities.

The other demons were too frightened to speak and crawled even lower.

Demon spirits are also intelligent beasts, but they are only at the Nascent Soul stage, with only one or two reaching the Integration stage. They could only be subservient to the Earth Python Demon King before, and now they can only be humble to the end.

"This fellow actually abandoned his post while I was away, causing my most precious elixir to almost be stolen by humans!"

"Such an attitude deserves death!"

The Earth Python Demon King roared in a certain direction, saying, "I will refine this spiritual medicine. You all must quickly capture that despicable, lowly human and hand him over to me to be killed by my own hands!"

"As for you, stay here and protect me while I refine this medicine!"

It randomly assigned the wild bat spirit to act as a protector, while the others were to surround and capture the human whose manhood it had injured!

"I will obey the Demon King's decree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve demon spirits soared into the sky.

Meanwhile, the Earth Python Demon King, along with the Purple Lotus Spirit and the Wild Bat Demon Spirit, hurried towards his cave.

It decided to refine this medicinal herb.

Although continuing to nurture this Purple Dendrobium Spirit Flower will certainly yield even better medicinal effects, given the current turbulent times, it's unlikely that this spiritual herb will be preserved until then.

With a determined look, the Earth Python Demon King no longer hesitated.

It twisted its body and returned to its burrow—the pool beneath the waterfall.

However, to avoid being disturbed, the Earth Python Demon King decided to be cautious this time!

"Wild Bat, you search the area thoroughly and see if there are any other humans around!"

The Earth Python Demon King hissed in a low voice.

The wild bat spirit immediately flew into the treetops, keenly sensing any subtle changes in sound waves. Sure enough, it discovered something! Right at the top of the cliff where the Earth Python Demon King's cave was located, there was actually a human!

"My Lord Demon King, there's another human!"

"What? I knew it!"

The Earth Python Demon King's expression changed drastically. It immediately climbed up the mountain wall to the top, and then it saw Gu Heng.

There was also Gu Heng's small tent, and the soup pot from which wisps of smoke were rising...

The Earth Python Demon King was stunned.

Waiting beside his cave dwelling was not a wicked human cultivator with hands stained with the blood of demonic beasts, but merely a seemingly carefree mortal.

It was just a mortal, and this mortal actually set up camp and cooked food on top of its cave?!

This immediately enraged it.

How dare they desecrate his cave dwelling like this?

"Alright, I'll use you to whet my appetite!"

The Earth Python Demon King let out a sharp hiss and then charged directly at Gu Heng. It didn't want to blast this human to pieces with its demonic energy, as that would leave it incomplete.

If you're going to eat people, you have to eat whole people!

Gu Heng looked at the pot of soup, which contained only some spices, wild vegetables, and a little minced meat. It was almost done cooking when he heard a noise from the side.

A black python, about ten feet long and roughly twice as thick as his arm, was rapidly swimming towards him. It seemed this black python had also set its sights on its prey—Gu Heng himself. Gu Heng was overjoyed!

"Great! We've finally found a snake. We can add some more snake meat to this soup."

He was naturally overjoyed. After walking in the forest for several hours, and now that night had fallen, he finally encountered a python!

There's fresh snake meat to eat!

Without delay, Gu Heng took out a black bow from his backpack and immediately nocked an arrow.

"With just this broken bow in your hand, you actually dare to rebel against me?"

When the Earth Python Demon King saw that the mortal still dared to draw his bow and arrow, he almost burst out laughing. However, this was exactly what he wanted. In a moment, the despair on the mortal's face would make him even angrier!

A "whoosh" sound.

Gu Heng hadn't aimed for long when he nocked the arrow; his archery skills weren't bad, and this python hadn't even considered maneuvering. But there was no need to expect so much from a mere python.

Without even looking, he knew that the arrow would definitely hit the target.

Everything happened so suddenly. The Earth Python Demon King's eyes widened and its mouth opened wide, but it couldn't make a sound.

That seemingly ordinary arrow pierced through the Earth Python Demon King's prized scales and deeply penetrated its heart, instantly taking away its life!

"..."

It collapsed to the ground, its eyes wide open in death, and the purple dendrobium spirit flower slowly rolled out from its half-open mouth.

"Wuhu, time to eat snake meat!"

Gu Heng walked over, looked at the still convulsing python, and planned to drag it directly to the campsite.

At the same time, he also saw the very familiar purple flower on the ground... Wasn't this the flower he had just sold to that rich young master?

How did this flower end up in the snake's mouth? I looked into the snake's belly. Hmm, there's definitely no person inside. Could it be that the rich young master bought the flower and then lost it?

What a waste!

Gu Heng took out a clay flowerpot and replanted the purple dendrobium flower in it.

After many twists and turns, this extraordinary flower has returned.

Meanwhile, the wild bat spirit, who witnessed this scene from a tree not far away, was so frightened that it ran in the opposite direction!

Demon King, you were killed by that human with a single arrow!

It didn't even manage to put up a fight!

The most precious treasure has been taken away by humans again!

We need to inform the other spirits and the other demon kings that a terrifying human has entered the Cloud Spirit Forest!
