Chapter 310

"If I threw you onto an itchy tree, covered in ants, screaming and crying out, hanging from that old crooked tree on Coal Hill, I'd change my surname!" The warrior Hua Xin, possessing powerful Magic Power and physical strength, wasn't afraid of the two wounds Dong Miao had pierced her body. Having fought countless battles, she had long since developed immunity to injuries and pain, and her awakened abilities allowed her Magic Power to accelerate her recovery. In other words, she hadn't felt pain in a long time. Since this comrade-in-arms she had known for years was actually the legendary, ruthless demon king... no, or rather, judging from his actions just now, it certainly was, because the black-robed figure in mid-air who called himself... The Demon King and the muscular giant who suddenly appeared at the end of the group vanished without a trace during their conversation. So, is this proof of Dong Miao's status and authority...? Demon King...? A surge of emotions welled up in Hua Xin's heart. The peculiar feelings of being deceived and betrayed churned within her. She slowly raised the Hero's Sword, her figure gradually becoming transparent, her aura slowly fading. Having used her awakened talent and the legendary Hero's Sword, it was clear that Hua Xin, as a "Hero," was serious! "Sigh, so naive." "A human hero can be this naive, trusting someone of unknown origin so readily. Is it that humans are stupid, or that heroes are stupid?" Dong Miao calmly reassembled his Magic Staff sword, restoring it to its usual unremarkable appearance. His tone showed no panic. Come Magic Staff, he hadn't been stabbed twice, nor had he lost that much blood. Who was really losing? (Leaning back tactically) As the Demon King, he didn't believe he was significantly weaker than this foolish female hero. Fate had made them sworn enemies, and now they needed to resolve this destiny. Demon King versus Hero—who would win? This had long been a recurring theme in novels and anime, and the continent of Hachimi was no exception. As the Demon King and Hero of unknown generations... They should end this destiny, passed down for countless years, in his hands. At the same time, it's time to let the entire continent once again be under the rule of the Demon Realm. But Dong Miao had witnessed Hua Xin's full power during her Saintly Body, coupled with her terrifying strength after awakening her innate abilities. Frankly, even as the Demon King, he wasn't entirely confident he could defeat her in a one-on-one duel. So... hehehehehehe. Dong Miao silently took a step back, lightly dodging Hua Xin's somewhat sluggish attack. The sword light merely slashed away the lush grass, leaving not even ashes. At the same time, the Hero's Sword was planted straight into the grass. "What's going on?" Hua Xin stared in shock as the Hero's Sword she could no longer hold slipped from her grasp, something that had never happened in any of her previous battles. A sword was a warrior's second life. Without a weapon, one was like a lamb to the slaughter, vulnerable to all abuse. But why had she willingly lowered her sword? Could it be...? "Dong Miao, you bastard! You have no martial ethics!" A faint trace of blood trickled from Hua Xin's pale lips as she knelt, clutching her chest, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Dong Miao, who wore a faint smile. However, the blood flowing from the two sword wounds Dong Miao had inflicted on her body was a much darker color than... "Who says you can't poison someone?" "Please, Lord Hero, times have changed." "You're still stuck in the era of honorable duels based on chivalry? Now everyone uses guns." Dong Miao sighed and dusted herself off, removing her glasses and tossing them into the nearby grass, disappearing without a trace. Her facial features subtly shifted; her gentle and peaceful demeanor diminished slightly, replaced by a cold and alluring air. "You..." "You..." Hua Xin, the seemingly invulnerable Dong Miao, was now inexplicably poisoned by the poison Dong Miao Hua Xin applied to her sword. The resurrection spell cast by the Archmage had failed to activate, and her limbs began to weaken uncontrollably. For the first time, her surging Magic Power and strength were being completely depleted in this way. She had forgotten... This person was no longer the harmless magician, but the ruler of the Demon Realm, the enemy of humanity—the Demon King. As the Demon King, she had broken through the magic and the protection of her armor, and even possessed a poison that could strike without her noticing... She had been outmaneuvered. Completely outmaneuvered. "I'll kill you..." Hua Xin collapsed breathlessly onto the grass. The heavy armor she wore to defend against attacks had become the final straw. Normally, it felt like she wasn't wearing anything, but now she felt as if a thousand-pound mountain was pressing down on her, leaving her utterly powerless. Therefore, she could only utter some meaningless threats. Demon King vs. Hero, Hero Hua Xin, dead. "Alright, alright, don't be angry." Dong Miao coughed softly, then squatted down and skillfully removed Hua Xin's hard armor in a few quick movements. The unique, voluptuous skin of a young girl, the beautiful lines of her figure honed by countless battles, and of course, the weak breathing after being poisoned, and the stubborn look in her eyes—angry yet helpless, too weak to even speak—were all exposed before Dong Miao. How to describe this feeling? He only had one feeling... Then Dong Miao hoisted Hua Xin onto his shoulder, his hand mischievously patting her lightly in the spot. "Smack." Quick rebound, crisp sound, five-star rating. "What are you doing?" Hua Xin growled through gritted teeth. Dong Miao simply said casually, "Ah." "I've wanted to have your child for a long time." "?" "Extra Chapter: The Adventure of Hero Hua Xin (Complete) In fact, many things in life are unpredictable. Even with preparations, the final outcome often doesn't go as planned. And even when you're prepared, there's a high probability that things will change again. So... whether prepared or not, when faced with unexpected situations, you can only accept your fate and carefully consider how to minimize losses. After all, the strong don't compromise. For Hua Xin, the hero whose ultimate responsibility is to defeat the Demon King, the news that her teammate, with whom she has fought so hard for so long, is actually the very Demon King she swore to kill, is undoubtedly adding insult to injury to her already arduous demon-slaying mission. But besides that, there is clearly something more pressing than this. Lying in bed in a pitch-black room, Hua Xin..."
