The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 140: It’s nothing personal

Soon, the five people reached the cliff behind the abyss and there, Jie Fu Lian saw Jin Long who was patiently waiting for him with a wooden sword in hand.

When Jin Long saw the man, he smiled as he stood up and spoke, "Brother Ming, It’s been so long since we last met. How have you been?"

When Jie Fu Lian heard the man’s shameless words, he couldn’t even sneer at it.

"If you hadn’t killed me, perhaps I would’ve been able to enjoy the last eight years."

Jin Long chuckled as he heard this and nodded his head in agreement.

Duan Luoyang immediately frowned, not understanding this conversation at all. As the conversation between the two continued, a sudden thought emerged in his head and Duan Luoyang was left in shock and denial as he looked at Jie Fu Lian with his eyes almost bulging out.

"So why did you do it, Jin Long?" Jie Fu Lian had a thin smile on his face as he asked, "Why did you kill me and why did you go after my sect? I thought we were brothers. Why did you stab me in the back like that?"

Jin Long sighed as he heard this question and threw the wooden sword over to Jie Fu Lian as he spoke, "Brother Ming, I also had no other choice. Killing you was the only way I could live."

Jie Fu Lian’s eyebrows creased together as he heard this but he said nothing as a response and simply waited for the man to continue.

"It’s nothing personal. To be honest, I still admire you and wish we could have kept our good relationship." Jin Long shrugged his shoulder as he continued, "But unfortunately, fate isn’t always kind to us."

With every word, he was taking a step closer to Jie Fu Lian and in the end, Hua Tianshu had to step in and block Jie Fu Lian from the man’s sight.

"I don’t know what you are planning but your games end here," Hua Tianshu glared at the man and without wasting even a second, took out his sword as he threatened the man.

Jin Long tilted his head with a smirk and looked to be quite amused by the man’s words.

"Hua Tianshu, nothing has ended yet."

"Hua Tianshu, don’t step in," Jie Fu Lian also spoke up as he pushed the man aside, "It’s not your turn yet. Let me talk to him first. You promised to let me do that, didn’t you?"

Hua Tianshu frowned as he heard this and was reluctantly forced to step aside.

"I see that you are still a dog who wags its tail and follows Jie Fu Lian around," Jin Long laughed, mocking Hua Tianshu.

"And you are still a lowly bastard who hides behind a mask," Hua Tianshu retorted and Jin Long glared at him.

Jie Fu Lian took the wooden sword and threw it back at Jin Long as he summoned Changbo and spoke, "Jin Long, I’m giving you a chance to explain yourself. Your life depends on what you say so choose your words carefully."

Jin Long glanced at Changbo and then looked back at Jie Fu Lian as he spoke, "Are you threatening to kill me, Brother Ming?"

Jie Fu Lian did not lower his sword nor did he show any hint of hesitation.

"That’s a pity," Jin Long suddenly sighed as he spoke, "I really thought we would not have to end things like this."

Suddenly the atmosphere around them turned a little cold and dark clouds started covering the sky above.

"Since it has come to this, let me tell you exactly why you’ll die again today," Jin Long casually spoke as he once again took a step forward toward Jie Fu Lian.

Even with the changing atmosphere and the growing pressure, Jie Fu Lian was not intimidated by the man. On the contrary, he looked at Jin Long with genuine curiosity as he waited for the man to continue speaking.

"Jie Fu Lian, do you believe in prophecies?"

Jie Fu Lian shook his head as he firmly spoke, "I don’t."

"I didn’t either," Jin Long chuckled as he replied, "But then some extraordinary things started to happen. It all started from the moment I met you again in that illusion dream."

Suddenly, Jie Fu Lian heard an odd sound coming from behind him. It sounded like someone was choking. When he turned his head to look, he was shocked to see that Duan Luoyang and Ren Lei were already on their knees, grabbing onto their necks as if trying to stop an unknown force from sucking the life out of them.

"What is happening to them...?!"

"Nothing serious," Jin Long chuckled as he casually spoke, "I just told the master of curses to make them suffer a little."

Jie Fu Lian immediately swung his sword at Jin Long as he shouted, "Make it stop!"

Jin Long was a bit surprised by this sudden attack but still managed to avoid it in just the nick of time.

"Brother Ming, I don’t think you can afford to worry about them. Right now, you are the one who is really in danger."

Jie Fu Lian suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and when he glanced back, he saw Hua Tianshu’s pale face looking back at him with a worried expression.

"Hua Tianshu, what’s wrong?"

Hua Tianshu did not answer that question and instead, shook his head as he used all his energy to mutter out, "Jie Ming... Run Away..."

As soon as he finished saying these words, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and dropped to his knees.

"Brother Ming, you should pay attention to me, not to that dying pest," Jin Long spoke, feeling a little annoyed.

Jie Fu Lian clenched his fist as he glared at Jin Long with unhidden hostility. Suddenly, his eyes changed color as they turned red and he started emitting an aura of death.

The demonic Qi inside the demon king’s body was strong and not something that everyone could control. As soon as Jie Fu Lian saw Hua Tianshu spitting out blood, he had already lost all reasoning and all he could see was red.

He no longer bothered to keep the demonic Qi inside him under control and as a result, the demonic Qi went rampant.

"Jin Long, don’t bother explaining things anymore!" Jie Fu Lian roared as he sent three consecutive sword attacks toward Jin Long, "I am done listening to you. Whatever your reasons were, you can just shove them up your ass and take it to your grave!"

"..."

All three attacks were infused with both spiritual energy and deadly demonic energy, but since Jie Fu Lian had lost all reasoning at the moment and was being driven by anger, although his attacks were powerful, they were neither fast nor accurate.

Jin Long avoided the first attack but was not fast enough to avoid the second one so he immediately took out a spiritual protection artifact that his father had given him and used it to absorb the second attack. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The artifact broke and became useless after absorbing just a single sword attack and Jin Long was hit with the third attack that he could not avoid.

For a second, he thought he had lost consciousness but unfortunately, he didn’t. As soon as Jin Long hit the ground, he felt an excruciating sense of pain emitting from his abdomen. It was as if his insides were on fire and some of his meridians had been blocked.

Even when he coughed up blood, Jie Fu Lian felt no sense of sympathy for the man and got ready to hit him again.

"Brother Ming, you are really not playing around," Jin Long spoke as he wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips, "Have you lost control over your temper already?"

Jie Fu Lian once again swung his sword as he attacked Jin Long, but this time there was a white whip that had wrapped itself around his sword and stopped it from touching Jin Long.

Jin Long’s facial expressions rapidly changed. When he looked at the owner of the whip, there was a relieved smile on his face but that expression did not last for long as he cried out in fear, "H-Help me! I-It’s him! It’s that bastard Jie Fu Lian! He has returned!"

Jin Long crawled as he hurried over towards the people that had arrived.

When Jie Fu Lian looked at everyone, he didn’t even know why but he suddenly felt the urge to laugh at this familiar situation.

"He also attacked Hua Gongzi and those innocent two who had come here to catch him!" Jin Long accusingly pointed at Jie Fu Lian as he shouted.

Hua Tianshu, Duan Luoyang, and Ren Lei had already lost consciousness by now so they could not even say anything in defense.

Jie Fu Lian suddenly felt extremely impressed by Jin Long’s acting skills.

If he hadn’t seen the truth for himself and had just arrived like the others, perhaps he would have also trusted Jin Long’s fake tears.

"Who the hell are you trying to fool...?!" Shen Chao shouted in disgust as he accusingly pointed at Jin Long and spoke, "You were the one who did this to them!"

For a second there, Jin Long looked to be stunned as he saw Shen Chao.
