Chapter 427: Chapter 346 Give it Some Dignity_1

Li Xuan’s double swords struck the Demon Qilin like a waterfall of light.

The beast’s Gang Qi was exceptionally potent; Li Xuan had to strike it over a hundred times without breaking through its iron scales. Sparks flew off with every strike.

Fortunately, the Demon Qilin was riddled with injuries, with some wounds deep enough to reveal bone. This allowed Li Xuan to find gaps in its otherwise impermeable Gang Qi.

Switching strategies quickly, Li Xuan started attacking these vulnerability points. Each stroke of his sword aimed at an open wound.

The beast finally shifted its attention from the shrimp in front of it and looked at Li Xuan with its blazing red eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xuan’s spirit pulsed. He redoubled the speed of his strikes, the light in front of him becoming more intense and causing more sparks to erupt around the demon.

What Li Xuan did not know was that, while he was delighted at reining in the beast, the Demon Qilin was desperately attempting to fight its primal instincts and suppress its voracious appetite.

"It hurts, that bastard Li Xuan! I must kill him, I must—— uh~ those shrimps look so fresh and delicious," it thought.

Finally, after five hundred strikes, Li Xuan managed to diminish the Demon Qilin’s Gang Qi to tatters.

"Regain your composure! Meng Qingfan, you’re a heavenly-level warrior! How can you not even suppress your beastly instincts? Have you forgotten the humiliations you’ve endured today? Have you forgotten the mission entrusted to you by your master? What should I do? Those shrimps smell so good, I’m sure they’re delicious——"

After twelve hundred strikes from Li Xuan, a large number of bloodstains appeared on Demon Qilin’s body and its wounds deepened.

"No, Meng Qingfan! You promised to slay all gods and Buddhas that stand in your way. You are not a beast! You must not look, you must not smell. Look at that guy, he’s slashing at you! It hurts a bit—— uh~ so fragrant!"

By the time Li Xuan landed his seventeen hundredth strike, the Demon Qilin roared and released a boundless wave of Crimson Thunderbolt, sending him flying several meters back. He watched the Demon Qilin rush to one side and wolf down the shrimps.

Li Xuan held back, watching with his swords at the ready. He then turned to Peng Fulai and asked, "Old Peng, how are things going?"

"All mixed in," Peng Fulai replied with an expectant smile, "I wonder what kind of drug Duwei Luo gave us."

Li Xuan was also curious, but just as he was about to ask Luo Yan, he saw two figures in bandages rushing into the courtyard.

"This evil creature!"

Zhu Chiling walked in with his Fangtian Huaji, his face contorted with anger. Upon catching sight of the Demon Qilin, a flame of rage ignited in his eyes, and he rushed toward the beast, swinging his Fangtian Huaji.

"Die!"

The Demon Qilin was initially entranced, greedily gulping down the shrimps. Only when Zhu Chiling’s polearm was about to strike did it come to its senses. Its eyes instantly blazed with murderous intent as it coiled its front half inwards, then forcefully kicked out with its hind legs.

── It moved as fast as light, and before Zhu Chiling could react, the monster’s hoof had already slammed into his chest.

Realising his mistake, Zhu Chiling’s eyes widened in surprise.

Boom!

At the sound of the impact, all the warriors of the Liudao Division who had surrounded the courtyard saw a red streak of light flash across the sky before landing more than a hundred meters away, followed by a cloud of dust.

Mu Qiangwei had initially planned to join Zhu Chiling. However, after witnessing this scene, she swallowed hard and retreated to a safe distance.

"Li Xuan, what’s going on?"

Seeing the bandages wrapping Mu Qiangwei’s body, the burn marks, and charred skin on her face, Li Xuan recalled the four masked men he had encountered at the entrance of the Demon Market and the pillar of crimson flames he had seen not long after.

Li Xuan immediately understood. No wonder they were so hostile to him. They must have blamed him and Luo Yan for the incident.

However, at this moment, Li Xuan could only pretend to be ignorant: "As you can see, Mu Qiangwei, it must have been attracted by these shrimps. By the way, where is the Deputy Venerable and True Lord Lingyou? Why haven’t they made a move yet?"

"They’re all waiting on the other side of the palace wall, along with many other Lang Generals. This beast clearly hates the Royal family, it’s crashed into the palace wall three times."

Mu Qiangwei paused, her eyes reflecting a strange expression: "Who would have thought it would run here?"

While they were talking, the Demon Qilin had already swallowed twenty baskets of shrimps.

Perhaps driven by the satisfaction of its appetite, Meng Qingfan’s consciousness began to slowly return. The first thing it did was scan its surroundings. It felt a slight relief at the sight. The two heavenly-level warriors from the Liudao Division had not returned yet. There was still a chance!

Then, while savoring the residual taste of the shrimp, Meng Qingfan turned its blood-red eyes back onto Li Xuan. Red Thunderbolt energy swirled around it, forming a pair of wings spread to either side. A cloud of crimson mist almost covered the entire courtyard.

Li Xuan’s spirits soared again as he tightened his grip on his double swords.

Mu Qiangwei furrowed her eyebrows, her octagonal golden-green hammer glowing with a white light.

Her main areas of practice were ’Jin’ and ’Wood’. Unlike others who emphasized the sharpness and strength of metal, she emphasized its weight, dominance, and indestructibility.

"Bastard! Today——"

A cold sneer escaped from Meng Qingfan. Initially, he planned to utter ’no one could save you today,’ during his gathering momentum and goal was to end Li Xuan’s life.

But suddenly, Meng Qingfan’s face changed slightly, instinctively tightening his buttocks and lower abdomen.

Something was not right——

He felt a sudden commotion in his stomach, like a raging storm, overwhelming as a flood.

This caused his momentum to wane, and the crimson thunder filling the sky vanished in an instant.

Mu Qiangwei felt the dire pressure on her fading, and then faintly heard the rumbling from the Demon Qilin’s belly. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, showing a look of surprised uncertainty.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, noticed the Demon Qilin’s abdomen suddenly bulging and then contracting, fluctuating erratically. Startled, he looked at Luo Yan and asked, "What’s happening? What kind of medicine did you give it?"

"A laxative, I made it myself, it’s called ’Disappear for Three Days Powder’." Luo Yan crossed his arms over his chest and said emotionlessly, "It’s probably going to have diarrhea."

"A laxative?" Li Xuan was left speechless. He wanted something that could knock this Demon Qilin out in the shortest time possible.

"But why call it ’Disappear for Three Days Powder’? Such a strange name."

"Well, after taking this stuff, you’d need to stay in the restroom for three days without meeting anyone."

Luo Yan coldly cast a sympathetic gaze at the Demon Qilin. "Shrimp are inherently cold. It ate so much without restraint, so it’s only natural that its discomfort would be especially severe. I didn’t deceive you. After it’s done, if it still has ten percent of its strength left, I will admit defeat."

Li Xuan thought it through and conceded. No matter if it’s a black or a white cat, a cat that could catch a mouse is a good cat. As long as the laxative works, it’s all that matters.

He then silently took out a couple of cloth strips from his Sumi Ring and plugged his nostrils with them to avoid the forthcoming stench.

However, Meng Qingfan gritted his teeth and refused to submit, the bloodlust in his eyes deepened: "Despicable! I will kill you."

He made an effort to gather Gang Qi, surrounding himself with purple lightning. As Meng Qingfan prepared to leap and muster together his remaining strength to kill Li Xuan, his stomach started to cramp fiercely once again. A feeling of impending gush rushed to his brain.

Meng Qingfan let out a mournful cry and fell to his knees, managing to hold himself together in the nick of time.

He thought to himself, it was simply not possible, absolutely not, he was a girl after all- how would he face others in the future?

In his perception, the gaze of the numerous demon slayers around him felt like sharp blades about to dismember him.

No, absolutely not! He couldn’t let it happen here.

Meng Qingfan endured with all his might, yet his ’gates’ were on the verge of collapse. It felt as if there was a Li Xuan inside his abdomen playing havoc, causing chaos.

As he foresaw the upcoming nightmare, hot tears streamed down Meng Qingfan’s eyes. He even glanced pleadingly at his adversary.

"My lord Xiaowei, it seems that it doesn’t want to defecate in front of everyone. After all, it’s a big demon, it must have some form of intelligence."

Yue Qianqian felt a bit uncomfortable, she walked behind Li Xuan and whispered in a low voice while tugging at his sleeve: "Give it a little bit of respect."

Li Xuan didn’t care, he knew that the Demon Qilin couldn’t escape. It was injured all over, tear-streaked, and its pitiful appearance indeed looked quite pathetic.

The key was he didn’t want to witness the scene either.

After thinking it over, Li Xuan pointed towards the side: "There’s a restroom over there, can you make it?"

Meng Qingfan felt as if he’d been granted a reprieve. He gave Yue Qianqian a deep look, then blasted off into a small building nearby in a streak of lightning.

The next moment, they heard a thunderous noise resounding from inside the hut.

That noise was continuous and unremitting, with an overwhelming force and flow. It lasted for a long time before it stopped.

From evening till the third watch of the night, Meng Qingfan finally walked out of the restroom weakly.

He then saw, surrounding him, a full fifteen Fumo Zhonglangjiangs casting him sympathetic looks.

Above them were numerous heavenly-level characters, including the deputy Venerable of the Liudao Division, Ao Shuying, True Lord Lingyou, and Shaobao Yu Jie.

Meng Qingfan found that his initially calm stomach was starting to churn again. He felt entirely hopeless and powerless. He simply lay flat on the ground, no longer wanting to move, "Do what you want with me, I admit defeat."

At this point, she wished she could die immediately. She even began to lose control, and let her animalistic consciousness grow in her mind.

Facing this predicament, she didn’t want to live any longer.
