The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 187: Just eat it.
Thankfully, Hua Tianshu was there to save the man and worriedly asked, "Jie Ming, are you okay?"
Jie Fu Lian forced himself to put on a smile as he raised his head to look at Hua Tianshu and gave a small nod, "I’m okay. It just hurts a little. I can still fight."
Hua Tianshu could already tell that Jie Fu Lian was lying but he knew he could not stop Jie Fu Lian from fighting so with a small frown, he spoke, "Don’t push yourself too hard."
Jie Fu Lian nodded his head with a warm smile as he heard this.
Ren Lei, who had been punched by the demon, spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to her knees, feeling as if she had almost crossed the yellow river.
"This damn thing is strong...!" Ren Lei gritted out, wincing in pain.
"How do we beat it?" Yu Wei questioned, looking over at Jie Fu Lian.
Jie Fu Lian had already used every technique that he could, however, none of it was enough. No matter how many times he crushed and cut the demon up, it always managed to put itself back together.
The time it took to regenerate had been slowed down, however, it was still not enough to give them enough time to come up with a way to kill this demon.
"Just keep attacking it," Jie Fu Lian firmly spoke, "I’ll come up with something."
Everyone nodded their heads as they agreed to follow his lead.
Without a single break, they continued to attack the demon with everything they got. Although everyone tried their best to avoid the demon’s attack, there were still times when they got hurt.
By the end, the demon looked like it was still as energetic as ever, however, Yu Wei and Ren Lei had already reached their limit. They had exhausted their spiritual Qi and energy. For them to continue fighting was dangerous.
Duan Luoyang, who was injured, clearly could not join the fight, and Hua Meifang who was still unconscious, could also not be counted.
Shen Chao didn’t bother joining the fight. He made a protective array with Duan Luoyang and Hua Meifang inside as he protected the two and sat there, watching the intense fight.
When Jin Shifeng noticed Yu Wei’s condition, she quickly pushed the woman toward Shen Chao and shouted, "Take care of her."
Shen Chao opened up the protective array and let the woman enter. At the same time, Ren Lei also entered the array as she grabbed onto her arm in pain.
Shen Chao closed the protective array almost immediately and with a small frown, looked at Ren Lei as he asked, "What happened to your arm?"
Ren Lei gulped as she heard this question and bit her lip, stopping herself from shouting in pain as she showed Shen Chao the wound on her arm.
Shen Chao’s frown immediately deepened as he saw Ren Lei’s burnt flesh.
"Why is it getting bigger?"
"It’s spreading," Ren Lei spoke as she confirmed it.
Shen Chao rummaged through his pockets and took out a pill as he spoke, "Take this. It might help."
Ren Lei took the pill and looked at it carefully as she asked, "What is this?"
"It’s a type of pill that feeds on demonic fire."
"Huh?" Ren Lei looked to be a little confused as she heard this.
"Just eat it. I’m sure it will help," Shen Chao spoke.
Ren Lei frowned as she heard and for a few minutes, contemplated whether to eat it or not. She didn’t trust this Shen Chao that much. In fact, she hardly knew the man and did not feel confident in risking her life because of his words. However, at the end of the day, the pain of burning flesh was slowly killing her and the more time she wasted, the more the burn spread out.
Hoping for the best, Ren Lei gulped down the pill and silently prayed for it to work.
In just a few minutes, the pill started working and the pain slowly started disappearing. The burns on her arms started fading away and although the skin did not return back to normal, it surely looked to have improved. It was still red but at least it wasn’t burning or shedding.
Feeling proud at the result, Shen Chao smiled as he spoke, "It is made from a special snail that survives by eating demon feces."
Ren Lei almost puked out in disgust as she heard this.
Shen Chao nonchalantly continued, "It is only found in the demon realm and there are only about a hundred of those snails left." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Ren Lei’s eyes twitched as she heard this and she glared at the man with the intent of murdering him as she questioned, "Why do you even have such a disgusting thing?"
"It may be disgusting but it is still useful," Shen Chao spoke with a small smile as he pointed at Ren Lei’s wound, "It helped, did it not? If you go back and fight that monster, you won’t even have to worry about getting burned again."
Ren Lei blinked as she heard this and her eyes slowly widened in realization.
"Do you have more of those...?" Ren Lei questioned and Shen Chao nodded his head.
Ren Lei gulped as she stretched her hand out forward and spoke, "I want four of them."
Shen Chao’s eyebrows creased together as he heard this and as he took out the four pills, he curiously asked, "Why do you need four of them?"
Ren Lei didn’t bother giving him an explanation and threw the four pills toward Jie Fu Lian, Hua Tianshu, Jin Shifeng, and Mo Xue as she shouted, "Take this! It will help with the burns!"
The four people caught the pills and as they heard Ren Lei’s words, without suspecting anything, they ate the pills.
Once Jie Fu Lian had consumed the pill, he could almost immediately feel it taking effect inside his body. The burn marks on his skin had started to fade away and there was no longer any pain. The pill had acted like a perfect recovery pill, however, this wasn’t even the most shocking part.
Once the pill had been consumed, the demon’s attack no longer burned them, and hence, one of their worries had been eliminated.
Mo Xue took his demonic beast form and attacked the demon with four peacock feathers, all aiming at the demon’s heart.
Although the feathers looked harmless, they were not to be taken lightly.
There was clearly a reason why Mo Xue was the king of demonic beasts. His feathers were fast, sharp, strong, precise, and almost unstoppable.
The demon managed to avoid three of the feathers but one still managed to hit its heart.
For a second there, Mo Xue thought he had managed to kill the demon, however, he was soon proven wrong.
The demon cried out in pain and pulled out the feather before throwing it back at Mo Xue.
The feather caught Mo Xue by surprise and it almost managed to stab through him. Thankfully, Mo Xue had managed to avoid it.
"It’s the horns!" Hua Tianshu shouted as he informed, "Attack the horns!"
When Jin Shifeng heard this, she couldn’t help but frown a little as she pointed out, "Daoist Jie Fu Lian already cut off the horns."
"He cut off the tip of the horn," Hua Tianshu replied, "We need to destroy it completely."
Jin Shifeng’s frown deepened as she heard this but she still nodded her head.
Jie Fu Lian used the wind string art of the yan sect in order to try and cut the horn from the base, however, the demon desperately avoided it and managed to defend itself.
Seeing this reaction, Jie Fu Lian was sure that Hua Tianshu was right and confirmed it as he spoke, "Cut the horn!"
When Mo Xue heard this, he sighed as he nodded his head and took out a feather that quickly grew in size and turned into a beautifully curved sword.
He threw the sword forward at the demon and when the demon avoided the attack, the sword changed its direction and came back to once again attack the demon.
Hua Tianshu also sent forward his Qi-collecting spiritual sword and attacked the demon together with Jie Fu Lian who was attacking the demon with Changbo.
With the three swords simultaneously aiming for the demon, it was quite hard for the demon to avoid all three, and hence, while avoiding and defending itself, the demon forgot about attacking back.
Jie Fu Lian felt as if this was an opportunity. He bit into his finger and drew out blood as he closed his eyes and made a few hand seals.
Hua Tianshu couldn’t help but frown as he saw this, finding the hand seals unfamiliar and not knowing what Jie Fu Lian was going to do.
When Jie Fu Lian snapped his eyes open, his lips curled up in a smile and the demonic aura around him only got stronger.
"TianTian, watch me closely," Jie Fu Lian spoke, without even turning to look at Hua Tianshu, "If you think I’m losing control, wake me up with a hug, okay?"
Hua Tianshu’s frown deepened as he heard this.
