The demon clutched his bleeding side, his crimson eyes filled with disbelief. He then turned to Xiao Chen, gritting his teeth as he cursed, "You bastard! You actually stabbed me in the kidney! I'm finished! I'm useless!"
It could clearly feel the demonic energy within its body rapidly draining away; the wound on its side not only hurt, but also carried a strange tearing sensation.
For demons, damage to the kidneys (the key part where the inner core is located) means a significant decline in strength, and they may never be able to break through again!
And there's another important organ for men there: the kidney!
The demon's eyes instantly turned ashen, as if he had lost something most precious, and he went completely mad.
Seeing its reaction, Xiao Chen awkwardly touched his nose and laughed, "Sorry, I didn't see it was your kidney just now... It was purely an accident, an accident."
"Accident my ass! I'm going to kill you!"
Enraged by Xiao Chen's "apology," the demon ignored the excruciating pain from his wounds, and his black demonic energy surged wildly.
Even if his strength is waning, he will fight with all his might to tear Xiao Chen to pieces!
It roared and charged toward Xiao Chen, its arms flailing and claws flashing everywhere, each strike carrying a frenzied suicidal intent!
"Good heavens, they've really been pushed to the limit!"
Seeing the demon's eyes bloodshot and demonic energy surging, Xiao Chen knew that the demon was driven to madness by desperation, and quickly drew his gun to guard against it.
Before he could make a move, a pale golden figure rushed forward, with Stone's arms blocking Xiao Chen's path and forcefully taking the demon's claws.
"clang!"
The claws grazed the stone arm, sparks flying, but only a faint white mark remained.
Stone grinned, thinking to himself, "He's really weak! He could make my arm go numb just now, but now he can't even break the skin!"
He no longer held back, and the demonic physique that had been dormant within him quietly began to operate. A faint dark purple halo shone through the pale golden spiritual power, and the power of his fist increased sharply as he slammed it fiercely towards the demon's chest!
"Bang!"
The demon was knocked back, its chest armor dented again, and black blood spilled from the corner of its mouth.
The damage to his kidneys not only caused him to lose his demonic energy, but also weakened his physical strength by more than half. His original advantage of crushing the stone was now completely gone.
Qingyun Sect, under the old locust tree.
Lin Zhou sat with his legs crossed, leaning against a tree trunk, holding a cup of chilled milk tea (a rare item newly redeemed by the system). A water mirror floated in front of him, reflecting the battle between Xiao Chen and Shi Tou.
"Tsk, what's wrong with your eldest disciple?"
Lin Zhou took a sip of milk tea, shook his head and complained, "You still have to let your junior brother take the damage for you. He doesn't act like a senior brother at all. All those life-saving tricks I taught you were for nothing."
The image in the water mirror flickered and shifted to a study not far away, where Su She was sitting at the table, engrossed in reading an ancient book, seemingly oblivious to the hustle and bustle outside the window.
Lin Zhou caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help but sigh. He casually flicked the side of his milk tea cup and said, "It's ruined. One of them needs his junior brother to protect him, and the other is so engrossed in his books. When the demons really attack, I'll have to personally clean up the mess."
Despite his complaints, he didn't move. His gaze swept over the frenzied demon in the water mirror, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips.
He's just an injured Creation Realm cultivator. If Xiao Chen and Shi Tou can't even handle this, then he'll lose face as their master.
On the battlefield, seeing that the stone had temporarily entangled the demons, Xiao Chen immediately seized the opportunity, twirling his rusty iron spear in his hand, the spear intent wrapping around the shaft as if it were alive.
He no longer used wide-range attacks, but instead focused on targeting the demon's wounds: sometimes using the "Snake Nodding" technique to stab at the old wound on his side.
Sometimes he would use the tip of his spear to strike the demon's arm joints; each strike was precise and ruthless, each one carrying intent and drawing blood.
The demons, already disoriented from the pain, were further thrown into disarray by Xiao Chen's control.
He tried to attack, but Shi Tou's fists rained down like a storm, forcing him to defend; he tried to retreat, but Xiao Chen's spear tip was always aimed at his vital points, leaving him no chance to escape.
In a short while, he suffered seven or eight more wounds, his black blood staining most of his scales, and his aura grew weaker and weaker.
"No... I can't die here!"
A flicker of panic crossed the demon's eyes; the thought of fleeing overcame his killing intent.
He still had a grand dream: to follow the demon army to conquer this inferior world and become a general who would lead all demons. How could he die at the hands of two juniors!
He suddenly unleashed his remaining demonic energy, shoved the stone aside with both arms, and turned to flee out of the valley.
But after running only two steps, a sharp pain shot through the back of his neck. Stone had grabbed his collar tightly, and his pale golden fist, glowing with a dark purple aura, slammed into the back of his head once more!
"Trying to run? Did you ask my fists first?!"
Stone roared, unleashing the full power of his demonic physique, his fist several times stronger than before!
With a loud "bang," the demon's head was struck as if by a heavy hammer, his vision went black, and he staggered.
Xiao Chen seized the opportunity, gathering all his spear intent into the rusty iron spear, and like an arrow released from a bow, pierced through the demon's old side wound once again. This time, the spear tip went straight through his body!
"Ugh—!"
The demon let out a final, shrill scream, its body collapsing limply to the ground, black blood gushing out, its life force vanishing instantly.
His eyes were wide open, and his face still held an expression of disbelief.
He never imagined that he, a demon in the Creation Realm, would die at the hands of two humans in the Dao Proof Realm.
Stone released his grip on the demon's collar, shook his aching arms, and laughed while panting, "Phew... finally done! This thing is really tough. If his kidney hadn't been stabbed, it would have taken forever to beat him up."
Xiao Chen also put away his rusty iron spear, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the demon's corpse, and breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Thanks to you for keeping him occupied, otherwise he would have been really difficult to deal with."
The two had just rested for a moment when they heard a loud bang not far away. Turning around, they saw Lin Jingxing and Luo Qingyang working together to finally kill another demon in the Creation Realm.
Golden dragon flames intertwined with the power of white space, and the demon's corpse fell to the ground, already lifeless.
The surviving cultivators, after paying a heavy price, managed to surround and kill the third demon.
The battlefield was littered with corpses and bloodstains. Most of the surviving cultivators were wounded and sat wearily on the ground, but no one dared to let their guard down.
Looking at the devastation before him, Xiao Chen thought to himself, "These are only three Creation Realm demons. If the demon army really arrives, can Boundless City... hold out?"
He turned to look at the stone and said in a deep voice, "Let's rest for a bit first, and then help treat the wounded. Next, we're afraid there will be even tougher battles to fight."
Shi Tou nodded, picked up the spiked club from the ground, leaned against a tree, and began to circulate his internal energy to recover his strength.
As the sun set, its crimson afterglow bathed the battlefield, casting a somber hue over this brutal victory.
