322: born?

While Ao Qi and Huang Xue were previously asleep, Chen De had ambushed them.

Because Ao Qi was the least useful to Chen De, and Chen De felt that Ao Qi was the most troublesome of the two demons.

Thus, Chen De chose Ao Qi as his primary target for the ambush.

As a result, Chen De unleashed such a massive strike.

He had originally hoped to pierce through and instantly kill Ao Qi with a single blow.

The moment it touched Ao Qi's body, a golden light emerged from his skin, tightly enveloping him.

At first sight of it, Chen De knew the golden light was not simple.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to retract his hand; the attack had already landed, and the golden light was only triggered upon contact.

Then, upon contact, Chen De's entire right arm shattered.

Including half of Chen De's body, all were covered in horrifying cracks.

Other parts also showed varying degrees of cracking.

Fortunately, Chen De's recovery speed was extremely fast; by the time Ao Qi reacted, only his most severely injured right hand remained.

This terrified Chen De, making him unable to fight with full strength afterward.

“We clearly agreed not to bring anything, yet you cheated.”

“Fortunately, I constructed the World of Interstice in advance, so none of them can leave this place.”

“Then I’ll adopt a war of attrition, slowly probing their trump cards.”

“Thankfully, after a series of subsequent exchanges, I finally discovered that the golden light only activates against fatal attacks.”

Compared to the dishonest Ao Qi, Huang Xue was clean.

Chen De truly adored this honest, straightforward, beautiful girl.

If every life in this world were as guileless as Huang Xue, how wonderful would that be?

So, during the subsequent battle, Chen De cast aside Ao Qi and went straight for Huang Xue.

The subsequent development was obvious.

Huang Xue herself couldn't hold on first, something went wrong, and she was eventually captured by Chen De.

Ao Qi was severely knocked into the corner by Chen De, still clutching Huang Xue's right ear tightly in his hand, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Chen De, growling, “Let her go! If you dare to harm a single hair on her head again, I swear, I will…”

“Let her go?” Chen De repeated, then nodded, readily agreeing, “Alright!”

Another blood-stained object flew through the air; it was Huang Xue's left ear.

This action caused Ao Qi's next words to catch in his throat.

Seeing his distraught expression, Chen De took the opportunity to protect Huang Xue and strike him again.

After violently knocking him away and steadying himself, Chen De shook Huang Xue in his hand, “Then I’ll give you a part first, are you happy?”

Saying this, Chen De shook his head and chuckled, “You people, when you can’t win, you like to spout threats, each one of you as soft as a persimmon, yet you say if I touch a single hair on her head, you’ll do something to me.”

“Now, I’ve touched her, what can you do?”

Under repeated injuries, Ao Qi could no longer stand.

From his body, a layer of dazzling golden light emerged.

“When the injury reaches a certain degree, it no longer needs to be passively activated; it becomes continuously active?”

“Do you want more?” Chen De looked down at Ao Qi from above, “I still have a lot here, but I can’t give it all to you at once.”

Huang Xue woke up a few times in between, but Chen De found her too noisy, so he knocked her out again.

“Just a little more? Probably not much left.” Chen De reached for Huang Xue’s eye socket, “Catch this, this time it’s…”

Suddenly, before Chen De could even make a move, a grayish-white light filled his entire vision.

All movements, actions, and expressions froze there.

And the source of the grayish-white light was Ao Qi.

“Ah ah ah!” Ao Qi seized this gap, roared, and desperately charged towards Chen De, intent on rescuing Huang Xue.

However, just as he was about to get close to Chen De.

A dark human figure horizontally collided with him from another direction.

The golden light and black liquid canceled each other out, but it did not cause the dark human figure to pause for a moment.

It forcefully embedded Ao Qi into the wall, causing the entire stone cave to shake violently.

When the smoke cleared, the dark human figure had long since disappeared.

And Ao Qi had lost all his strength, unable to even maintain his domain.

Only the golden light on his body stubbornly protected him.

“This show, I suppose it’s over.” Chen De had returned to normal, muttering to himself as he looked at Ao Qi’s miserable state.

“Don’t feel unwilling.” Chen De walked up and nudged Ao Qi twice with his foot, “To deal with you guys, it really is a lot of trouble.”

However, Chen De spoke, but received no response.

Looking at Ao Qi's face, he merely stared at Chen De, his gaze seemingly wanting to devour him.

Only when Ao Qi was completely still did Chen De relax.

That last attack, Ao Qi had completely erupted, using all his demonic power; he was truly enraged to the point of losing his mind, rushing forward recklessly.

This also suited Chen De's intentions, to exhaust all his strength.

There was no other way; he couldn't kill him, nor could he defeat him, so Chen De could only find a way to make him lose his combat ability first.

Chen De didn't believe that this golden light could protect him for long.

It clearly wasn't Ao Qi's own possession; it was merely a rootless duckweed.

Then, a large and dense amount of black liquid spread from Chen De’s body, equivalent to half of his original mass.

It wrapped and sealed around Ao Qi, who was lying on the ground, entangling all the large and small parts of his body.

It caused no harm, and even the golden light remained indifferent to Chen De's actions.

At this moment, Chen De suddenly noticed that the hand holding Huang Xue was sticky.

“So, she’s about to give birth?” Chen De turned his head to look, seeing that the area beneath Huang Xue was already soaked with amniotic fluid.

It dripped down along the hem of her clothes.

During the recent battle, Huang Xue's strength had significantly weakened, which Chen De had already suspected.

Coupled with the intense activities with Ao Qi and battling Chen De, these events stimulated the fetus in her womb.

Haha!

Hahahahaha!

“Originally, I was worried that the fetus wasn’t fully developed and would affect me.” Chen De burst into laughter, the stone cave filled with his unrestrained cackles.

He raised Huang Xue in his hand, “Now there’s no need to worry!”

At this moment, Huang Xue, though still unconscious, her face was pale from the immense pain, and tiny beads of sweat emerged on her forehead.

Slap! Slap!

Chen De directly gave her two hard slaps, leaving her pretty face swollen and her lips bleeding, yet she still didn't wake up.

“My apologies, I was a bit too forceful earlier.” Chen De smiled awkwardly.

Previously, to keep Huang Xue quiet, he had specifically used a mental attack to stimulate her.

He didn't expect to overdo it, and now it was hard to wake her up.

But it didn't matter, just a gentle touch was all it took. Chen De placed his hand on top of Huang Xue's head.

“Ah!”

Instantly, Huang Xue woke up, letting out a piercing shriek.

He moved his hand away, but she kept screaming uncontrollably, so he delivered another hard slap, and she quieted down.
