Chapter 101 · Volume 1

Death of the Demon King

“How is this possible!??
“Who exactly is this woman! What kind of demon! Even my Golden Bell can’t deal with her!?”
The Mudfish Demon saw that his magic treasure was ineffective against Su Qing.
He couldn’t help but turn pale with fright…
His magic treasure had always been invincible, never suffering a loss in Earthly Immortal stage battles. Ordinary Earthly Immortals found it difficult to even get close to him…
But now…
Su Qing completely ignored the effect of this magic treasure.
At this moment, he finally understood.
Why the Old Dragon King suddenly changed his mind.
Preferring to go back on his word and lose face, he still handed Ao Ying over to Su Qing!
With Su Qing possessing such terrifying strength…
And having such territory behind her.
The choice was obvious.
Although he was quite displeased, he had to admit the gap between himself and Su Qing.
It was not insignificant!
The Mudfish Demon dared not hesitate any longer at this moment, hastily pulling back to avoid the sword.
Other things, perhaps he wasn’t particularly clear about.
But if this sword were to hit him…
The outcome was unquestionable.
The Mudfish Demon was indeed worthy of the Earthly Immortal realm; Su Qing’s sword barely missed him.
After he dodged the sword.
The thought of retreating arose in his heart; he planned to escape.
Now that his magic treasure was useless, and his strength was clearly inferior to the opponent.
Continuing to fight would inevitably lead to no chance of victory.
Although running away was shameful, he feared losing his life more than losing face.
Losing his life to enjoy the Dragon Girl was clearly not worth it.
With this thought, he immediately cast a spell to escape.
But he had just begun to chant the incantation…
Su Qing sensed his intention to flee.
Seeing this, how could Su Qing give him a chance to escape?
She immediately charged forward with her sword.
At the same time, she formed an incantation to restrain the opponent, preventing him from escaping.
And this sword…
The Mudfish Demon naturally had no chance to avoid it again.
The spirit sword sliced across his throat…
His head was severed, flying several meters high.
The Mudfish Demon still maintained the posture of chanting the incantation at this moment.
But that ugly head was already rapidly falling.
Seeing this, Su Qing showed no joy or sorrow, merely forming an incantation with her hand…
And spat out a True Fire!
Incinerating his head and corpse, giving the opponent no chance of resurrection.
“It seems the Old Dragon King’s judgment is truly poor.”
“This Mudfish Demon’s magic treasure and strength are so weak, yet he thought it was a good deal.”
“However, I really don’t know how this Mudfish Demon became a Demon King; it’s truly laughable.”
Su Qing watched the corpse burning with True Fire, shook the blood from her sword, and returned it to its sheath.
The burning corpse fell into the sea, but the True Fire continued to blaze fiercely.
The True Fire would absolutely not extinguish until it had completely incinerated the corpse and head.
“The Mudfish Demon is dealt with… Next are these Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals!”
Su Qing calmly stared at the group of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, wondering if she should kill them all while she was at it.
They were all evil demons anyway; keeping them would only harm the mortal world.
However, just as she was pondering.
The weather suddenly changed.
On the vast sea, waves surged, and towering tsunamis crashed towards the group of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.
Seeing this, Su Qing knew who had arrived even without thinking.
“This Old Dragon King was probably watching from afar, and seeing me slay the Mudfish Demon, he came out to clean up the mess.”
Su Qing couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head slightly.
This was the East Sea; for the Mudfish Demon to march so openly… it would be strange if the Old Dragon King didn’t know.
However, given the Old Dragon King’s character.
If Su Qing were to question him about this matter.
He would probably find a way to respond.
And he could even make it sound reasonable and well-founded… as if he truly didn’t know.
Su Qing smiled helplessly, too lazy to argue much with the Old Dragon King.
After all, this Mudfish Demon was merely an ordinary foe; he didn’t last more than a few moves, not even counting as trouble.
But she couldn’t say nothing…
Lest the Dragon King think she was too easy to bully.
“Senior Dragon King! It seems your Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals still need more training! This Mudfish Demon marched so openly in the East Sea, yet it took so long for someone to inform you, Senior.”
Su Qing said with a smile.
Although she didn’t say it directly, she conveyed her meaning.
It was merely to save the Dragon King some face… to avoid an argument with him.
She also believed that the Dragon King would certainly understand the meaning behind her words.
The Old Dragon King heard this from afar and merely smiled helplessly.
He also realized that he had indeed underestimated Su Qing.
“Prime Minister, prepare some gifts! This time, I’m afraid we’ll have to shed some blood.” The Old Dragon King said helplessly, “She is even smarter than we imagined…”
“Your Majesty intends to…?”
“If the other nine Demon Kings still want to trouble her, we will stop them! Consider it doing her a favor. Compared to the remaining nine Demon Kings… this Su Qing is someone not to be provoked in the slightest.”
The Old Turtle asked again, “What about Princess Ao Ying…?”
“Ao Ying’s matter has already reached its conclusion; don’t worry about her… Let her go as far as she can.”
The Dragon King chuckled, shook his head, and said:
“Ultimately, I underestimated the junior… Make the rest of the arrangements look good.”
The Dragon King never thought Su Qing couldn’t defeat the Demon King…
He just thought Su Qing definitely couldn’t win so easily.
After all, that Demon King’s magic treasure and strength were considered good among the mortal realm Demon Kings.
He wasn’t someone easy to deal with.
So, his initial plan was to wait until Su Qing and the Demon King were locked in a fierce battle, or in a moment of crisis.
He would suddenly arrive with his army to help her kill the Demon King.
This way, Su Qing wouldn’t suffer any major losses.
And he could conveniently do Su Qing a favor, while also eliminating the Demon King.
It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone.
This plan was naturally good.
But the Old Dragon King ultimately underestimated Su Qing and overestimated the Demon King.
He never expected that Su Qing, though young, possessed such formidable strength.
She killed the Demon King in just a few moves.
Not only did the Demon King not react in time… even he, as an observer, couldn’t react.
By the time he came to his senses, the Demon King’s corpse was already emitting the smell of roasted mudfish.
The Dragon King could only sigh…
Su Qing was indeed a disciple of Bodhi… and truly someone highly regarded by those few.
“Ultimately, I still underestimated her!”
The Dragon King shook his head, turned, and returned to the Dragon Palace:
“This time, I truly made a blunder… Let’s see how to remedy it.”
The battle ended…
The remaining mess didn’t require Su Qing to clean up.
Su Qing naturally had no intention of staying here to watch…
She turned and prepared to return to Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Before leaving, Su Qing looked at Ao Ying, who had not yet fully recovered.
She couldn’t help but smile slightly, saying:
“Now that the Demon King is dead, it seems you truly have nothing to worry about.”
Ao Ying was pulled back to reality by Su Qing’s voice, saying:
“I truly didn’t expect… Sister’s strength to be so terrifying.”
“It’s just that the Demon King was too weak…”
Su Qing shook her head slightly, saying:
“I only just entered the Earthly Immortal realm not long ago; how strong can I be?!
If that Demon King hadn’t been so useless, how could I have won so easily?”
“Alright, let’s go back! Now that the Mudfish Demon is dead, another troublesome matter is resolved.”
“It’s time to celebrate!”
