Chapter 604: Chapter 0604: Pry His Mouth Open
The dull thud had just echoed when the towering figure of the Demon King flew backward as if he were a baseball being struck.
"Phut!"
In the air, the Demon King spat out a mist of crimson blood, his fierce, contorted face turned deathly pale, clearly suffering heavy injuries.
At the same time, Ye Xunhuan landed gracefully like a deity!
No sooner had he touched the ground than Ye Xunhuan too spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. His right hand stabbed the blade he held into the ground, and he half-knelt, his chiseled face pale as paper, forehead instantly covered with cold sweat!
Ye Xunhuan didn’t wipe the cold sweat from his forehead but instead gasped for air deeply.
"Bang!"
At the same moment, the bulky body of the Demon King thunderously fell to the ground, creating a crater as dirt flew around. His entire body convulsed uncontrollably as if he had been shot by a shotgun.
Soon after, the Demon King, enduring the pain all over his body, struggled up from the ground, sat cross-legged at the same spot, and started gasping heavily just like Ye Xunhuan.
Just then, Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing hurriedly ran down from the upper floor, their beautiful faces showing undisguised worry and anxiety!
After rushing down from the upstairs, Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing hurried to Ye Xunhuan’s side and asked anxiously, "Xunhuan, how are you?"
Ye Xunhuan glanced at the anxious Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing and forced a strained smile on his pallid face, then slowly shook his head and sat down on the ground.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan felt as if his internal organs had shifted painfully. His heart felt as if it were being gnawed on by thousands of ants.
After a few deep breaths, the Demon King slowly said, "Marshal, you’ve won!"
"You didn’t lose!"
"I lost!" the Demon King said breathlessly, "Without using Berserk, I’m no match for you!"
"So I lost, don’t make excuses for me. I’ve lost, and I can afford it!"
Upon hearing the Demon King’s words, a tragic smile appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s pale face.
"This is for your queen!"
Saying this, the Demon King suddenly produced an ancient-looking box from his hand as if by magic and threw it straight at Ye Xunhuan!
"Swoosh!"
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan raised his right hand and caught the box, looked at it, then his expression slightly changed, "Demon King, you..."
"Marshal, I, the Demon King, keep my word. Since I’ve lost, if your queen ever comes to my kingdom, she will be a guest of honor!" the Demon King said firmly. "Anyone who sees this will not dare to harm her!"
Saying this, the Demon King struggled to his feet, dusted himself off, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Marshal, can you tell me before I leave, what was that technique you just used?"
Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Yin Yang Sword Technique!"
"Yin Yang Sword Technique, Tai Chi Mark... could it be..." The Demon King’s eyes immediately sparkled with realization.
Guessing what the Demon King was thinking, Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation, "Yes, it’s from the Tai Chi Mark!"
"Truly magical!" the Demon King said earnestly. "It’s almost akin to the Holy Grail of the Church. It’s hard to tell which one is more powerful!"
"Alright, I’m leaving!"
As his voice fell, the Demon King stepped outside and walked away.
Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, the Demon King stopped, "Marshal, there is someone behind the villa, I’ve tied him up. It seems he came to assassinate you!"
"If you ever come to my turf, I’ll treat you to a drink!" the Demon King laughed heartily, "But I’ll still come after you for another fight, I have to win back my honor!"
Watching the Demon King’s retreating figure, Ye Xunhuan’s lips twisted with a bitter taste.
This guy is more interesting than the others, born for battle alone, fight if he can, leave if he can’t, and no nonsense or schemes.
No wonder that woman told him that the Demon King was the most adorable overlord.
If the Demon King knew someone described him as adorable, who knows if he would erupt in fury.
With the Demon King gone, the surroundings slipped back into an unprecedented silence.
Afterward, Ye Xunhuan slowly got to his feet from the ground, took a deep breath, and with the support of Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing, gradually made his way back into the villa. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
The mess in the courtyard would naturally be taken care of by Dominic.
Once inside the villa, Ye Xunhuan immediately pulled out a cigarette from his tattered clothes, lit it up, and took a drag!
On seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi glared furiously at Ye Xunhuan, "You’re injured and still smoking, you’ll smoke yourself to death!"
As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi promptly plucked the cigarette from Ye Xunhuan’s lips.
In response, Ye Xunhuan sheepishly smiled, then handed over the bracelet the Demon King had given him to Qiu Ruoxi.
"Keep this safe!"
"What is this?" Qiu Ruoxi examined the ancient bracelet.
The craftsmanship of the bracelet was very fine, and it was also engraved with designs, each line unique, making it seem ancient.
"Since that guy gave it to you, just keep it, and make sure not to throw it away, or he’ll go crazy!" Ye Xunhuan stressed.
"It’s so important, you should keep it!"
"He gave it to you, wear it, you might just need it someday!"
As he said this, Ye Xunhuan directly put it on Qiu Ruoxi’s wrist.
Even though the gift wasn’t from Ye Xunhuan, having him put it on her wrist made Qiu Ruoxi’s heart flutter with joy, "Xunhuan, about your injuries..."
"It’s nothing!" Ye Xunhuan shook his head, "A night of rest should do the trick!"
"We should still go to the hospital to have it checked..." Mei Hanqing spoke at that moment.
Mei Hanqing didn’t feel displeased that the Demon King had given Qiu Ruoxi the bracelet and not her, nor was she envious that Ye Xunhuan had put the bracelet on Qiu Ruoxi.
At this moment, all she felt was concern!
"It’s okay, just need some rest!" Ye Xunhuan’s face broke into a reassuring smile, "I know my body!"
Just then, Dominic walked in from outside.
"King, according to the Demon King, they found a man in the pond in the backyard!" Dominic reported respectfully.
At this moment, in Dominic’s mind, Ye Xunhuan was completely a War God, an indomitable War God, who defeated Antonio and made the Demon King admit his defeat in person.
Not just anyone could achieve that, and it seemed like the Demon King was also meaning to make friendly overtures towards Ye Xunhuan.
This was absolutely great news for them.
"Pry open his mouth!"
