Thinking of this, he smashed the eerie spider lilies and black butterfly phantoms to pieces with a single palm strike. Just as he was about to continue his pursuit, he suddenly noticed a petite and exquisite girl standing in front of him, holding a jade bottle and trembling all over.
The Demon Lord was taken aback. He remembered this cute little girl; she seemed to be one of the two female slaves beside "Donal".
It's hard to forget someone so adorable.
What's even more impressive is that her strength is so weak; any guard in the dungeon could easily defeat her.
So he never took this frail little girl seriously, but now she dared to stand in his way?
He felt a strange sense of absurdity and anger.
Just because he suffered a loss with the Regent, now even Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to stand in his way?
He raised his hand, about to casually crush the little girl to death.
Hmph, the cuter something is, the more I want to pinch it to death; that feeling is so satisfying.
Ji Xiaoxi was already terrified, and when she saw him reach out his hand, she screamed in fright and threw the jade bottle in her hand at him.
"Is this jade bottle some kind of magic treasure?" The Demon Lord was puzzled. He didn't seem to sense any powerful magic treasure fluctuations from it, but to be on the safe side, he still took out the Treasure-Dropping Copper Coin.
To his surprise, the jade bottle was not affected by the falling copper coin; instead, it hit him directly.
His body was so strong that the jade bottle could not withstand such an impact.
It shattered into pieces almost instantly, and then a wisp of orange smoke dispersed in all directions.
The Demon Lord was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Poison? You little brat actually think you can poison me?"
What a joke! For a being as powerful as him, his resistance to poison is already quite strong. Moreover, he is a master of poison himself. How could he possibly be poisoned by this human?
Their demons' physical structure is completely different from that of humans in this world, so the poisons of this world are utterly useless to them.
He was about to crush the little girl to death when he suddenly swayed and felt a wave of numbness and dizziness.
"How is this possible!"
This poison actually affected him!
He dared not be careless in the slightest, hurriedly held his breath, and tried to expel the toxins from his body by circulating his internal energy, before reaching out to grab Ji Xiaoxi.
The Regent had risked everything to clash with Chief Steward Pi in the demon world for this little girl, clearly showing how much he cared for her. Now that he was poisoned and was using her as a hostage, the Regent would definitely be hesitant to act rashly and might actually start considering peace talks.
Just then, his vision blurred, and Zu An had already blocked Ji Xiaoxi's way.
This was not unexpected for him. Zaun had just finally escaped the three-headed bird's attack and used the teleportation skill.
He had prepared many magical artifacts that could imprison space, so he couldn't exchange them with himself anymore. However, he reacted quickly and actually exchanged them directly with the half-jade bottle that had just fallen to the ground.
However, the speed at which Zuan drew his sword and the power contained within it startled him, as if his strength had increased tenfold in that instant.
That sword strike was more powerful and dazzling than before.
The Demon Lord was slightly slower than usual due to the effects of Ji Xiaoxi's miraculous poison. Although it was only slightly slower, it was enough to be fatal at this critical moment.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, he could only stretch out his hands to take the sword head-on, while activating all kinds of defensive magic treasures around him.
But both sides knew that this probably wouldn't be enough to stop that sword strike.
A hint of fear flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes. Fortunately, the three-headed monster bird caught up and pounced directly on Zu An's back.
Moghad, who was watching the battle below, quickly explained to Salami: "The Demon Lord is finished. The opponent has been hiding a trump card that suddenly increases his cultivation tenfold. Now, as long as he can withstand the attack of that three-headed monster bird, he will at most be seriously injured, but the Demon Lord is doomed."
Salami was overjoyed; this was the opportunity she had been longing for—to reap the benefits without lifting a finger!
The Demon Lord was careless. He tried to distract Zu An by attacking the women, but he didn't expect to be tricked by a little girl, putting himself in this hopeless situation.
However, what happened next made everyone's eyes widen. The sword that Zuan originally intended to stab at the Demon Lord was instead swiftly thrust at the three-headed monster bird that had come from behind, like a gazelle leaping off a cliff.
Moghad slapped his thigh as he watched: "This regent is also a coward who fears death. He let go of such a good opportunity to completely kill the demon lord. He could have just taken a minor injury, but he chose the safest approach."
Even if the three-headed monster bird is injured, the Demon Lord will be able to recover in time. Given his cunning, how could he possibly be poisoned and fall into a desperate situation by sheer coincidence?
Pfft!
The three-headed bird had no idea that Zaun would suddenly attack it; it had been determined to cripple Zaun at all costs.
The sword strike was unstoppable, piercing directly into the gaping maw of its middle head. The dazzling sword energy instantly shredded the head to pieces.
At the same time, the sword did not pause for a moment, directly severing the listless head on the left, and then slashing towards the head on the right.
At this moment, the three-headed bird finally reacted, frantically flapping its wings to fly away into the distance, looking at him in fear. It still hadn't completely dodged the sword, and there was a deep wound on its neck that exposed the bone, with blood gushing out. Its entire head seemed to be connected only by half the flesh of its neck.
"The Demon Lord could easily take this opportunity to severely injure him!" Morgard exclaimed suddenly, halfway through his analysis, "Why isn't the Demon Lord moving?"
At this moment, the Demon Lord seemed to be frozen in place, all his attacks came to an abrupt halt, but blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth and even his neck, even though he had no wounds at all.
He stared at Zuan, a bitter smile on his face: "When did you find out?"
Zaun said calmly, "I was already suspicious when you were able to grow a new head after I destroyed your first one."
"Later, when faced with the Blood-Transforming Demon Needles, you saw that there was no way to avoid them, so you directly used your head to catch all the Blood-Transforming Demon Needles, and then a new head grew back."
Moghad and Salame exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion. They could understand every single word the two of them said, but why couldn't they understand it when they put it together? What kind of riddle were they talking about?
The Demon Lord wiped the blood from his neck, his voice trembling slightly: "But this at most proves that my vital point is not in my head, or perhaps somewhere else in my body. Why didn't you attack my body, but instead attacked the three-headed monster bird?"
Zuan didn't even glance at him, and instead raised his sword towards the three-headed monster bird—oh, no, it should only be called a one-headed monster bird now.
"Didn't I just attack your body? This three-headed monster bird is your true form."
