"Clang!"
Doran's Shield let out a wild, unrestrained laugh, deflecting the attack of the second short sword. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Han unleashed a second sword strike. The sharp sword wind swept past, aiming at the nearby Gladys, and thrust out fiercely!
"My lord, I...I am willing to submit!!"
Glady's expression was filled with terror. After unleashing all his fighting spirit, he fell into a weakened state and could only watch helplessly as the sword tip, intertwined with lightning and flames, transformed into a beam of sword light and struck!
"Tear!"
The sword tip pierced Glady's right chest, and the immense force surged into his body, shattering his inner armor. The sword energy frantically tore at chunks of flesh, spurting out blood mist. Even with a physique that had reached the second limit of human endurance, he almost couldn't withstand this fatal damage!
But Gladys, enduring the pain, breathed a sigh of relief. His opponent, who had been aiming for his heart, had suddenly shifted their target, saving his life.
Clearly, his surrender had an effect.
"Huh? The heart isn't on the right side?"
Xiao Han was taken aback. With Gladys's expression frozen, another sword pierced his chest. The spreading lightning flames, like a bone-deep infection, continued to cause damage.
Soon, Gladys's health bar dropped from 25% to 15% thanks to Xiao Han's careful finishing blows.
But Xiao Han was still worried, suspecting that Glady would pull off a low-health comeback, so he stabbed Glady in the thigh again, weakening his agility and reducing Glady's health bar to 8%, a near-death state.
"Sir, you!"
"call out!"
The fangs were sheathed and returned to the soul.
Xiao Han clenched his fist, unleashing an explosive burst of energy. The powerful and ferocious force startled Glady, who was lying on the ground, and she wisely shut her mouth.
"You said you would submit to me?"
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly, and the idea of recruiting subordinates came to mind.
As a high-ranking demon king, once he embarks on the Golden Path, the establishment of the Demon King's Palace becomes an inevitable trend!
Even if he is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not compete with the world, the outside world will always find a way to drag him into the vortex, with open and covert struggles and dangers.
Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for a rookie demon king with only a seagull, a necromancer, and a group of urban management officers to expand his power and recruit more people!
"Yes, I submit! I, Gladys, am willing to submit to you, my lord!"
Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Gladys's face.
It's always better to be alive than to die.
At that moment, he felt a pang of regret for that old pine tree on the cliff.
"I've beaten you so badly. If you submit to me, do you guarantee you won't betray me?"
Xiao Han asked directly, clenching his fist. Beneath his fair skin, there was a dormant volcano of energy.
Once unleashed, it's like one person chasing down dozens of bandits—utterly devastating and unstoppable!
Even Gladys, who played all his cards, nearly lost his life in this outburst!
Therefore, he believed that if Gladys dared to show off, he could punch him and rupture his kidneys!
The Demon King's physique, once it reaches the Silver Rank, is just that domineering!
“No, I, Gladys, will be your most loyal servant, sir.”
As he spoke, Gladys's face turned bitter: "Actually, it was because I saw the Tree of Order first that this disastrous result occurred. The temptation of the Golden Path was just too great..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han nodded in understanding.
Even Xiao Han, he planned to spend a hundred years breaking through his limits, accumulating strength, and embarking on the golden road with the momentum of soaring to the sky!
The difference between them is like the difference between immortals and mortals!
If it doesn't turn into gold, after a hundred years it will just be a handful of dust!
Although Xiao Han's demonic physique allows him to live for over a thousand years...
"The road to gold is indeed too arduous."
Xiao Han smiled slightly, without much emotion.
After all, he was young and vigorous, full of energy, and he already had a Divine Tree of Sequence, which seemed to be of very high quality.
If you take it one step at a time, the path to success is quite simple.
"Ding! Berserker Gladys has initiated a master-servant contract with you. Do you accept?"
"Hmm... I accept."
Gladys respectfully signed the slave contract, gloriously becoming Xiao Han's lackey.
Only by surviving can there be hope.
After signing the contract, Xiao Han only needs to think once to paralyze Glady's entire body, dislocate her bones, and make her feel as if she has been electrocuted.
"Crack crack crack crack crack!"
Grady, who had barely managed to stand up, suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground, half-dead.
This was originally a slave contract prepared for the fox woman, but it was countered and Gladys was forced to personally experience the magical suppression of the slave contract.
"Uh, it seems like I've gone too far."
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled calmly.
After providing some resources to restore Gladys's basic mobility, the two returned to the mule wagon.
The content of "sweeping away all enemies" is not about killing the target, but mainly about destroying, crippling, or injuring the identified target.
After he unleashed a torrent of lightning and flames from his Flame Fang sword, inflicting minor injuries on the bandits, the red mark disappeared.
A beating is enough; it's not a sure thing.
Xiao Han killed the bandits because, with the help of the [Demon Eye], he sensed their ill intentions.
Otherwise, how could a harmless little fox living deep in the forest, picking mushrooms, drinking spring water, and eating wild fruits, have the impulse to harm people and even grind their bones to ashes? This was definitely not the little fox's intention.
"Yes, Lord Little Fox is incredibly brave. We were the ones who offended Lord Little Fox. Please don't apologize, sir. We were greedy and brought this upon ourselves. Those bandits had even worse ideas, they deserved it."
Lying beside the giant wolf, badly injured, Glady listened to the little fox's patient explanation and wholeheartedly agreed, saying respectfully.
On one hand, they completely distanced themselves from the bandit gang, and on the other hand, they praised Little Fox as awesome and 666!
Star Vein Divine Tree: "..."
The two of them engaged in a shameless back-and-forth conversation, which even made the dead Shadow Wolf's eyes widen, looking as if its dog life had been scared to death.
Alright!
"Hiss!"
Two happy mules neighed and raised their heads, with a strong horse by their side, pulling the cart on their journey home.
Golden sunlight streamed down, a gentle breeze swept across the wasteland, the autumn grassland was covered with a layer of withered yellow, and the leaves of the red maple trees drifted down.
The fox-man boy sitting in the carriage, with his bright and clear eyes, admired the beautiful autumn scenery.
Suddenly, a line of wagons carrying slaves appeared in the distance, with hundreds of fully armed men guarding the area, clearly indicating they were up to a big business.
"No, no way!"
Xiao Han stared intently, his eyes widening, and his lips twitched slightly.
Above the heads of hundreds of people, red arrows floated, densely packed, like red clouds drifting by.
"Glady! Protect the carriage!"
"S-Sir?!"
Before Glady could react, Xiao Han sighed slightly, drew a Flame Fang sword from his waist, twirled it in a dazzling display, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the caravan of a hundred people: "This caravan is too rich, let's rob them!"
Gladys: "???"
Sir, are you insane?!
