The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Ji Fengyan looked in astonishment at that huge demon. Although it was slightly stooped, it radiated the aura of a demon god. Black vertical pupils were set against yellow eyes, making it look particularly strange. Despite its peculiar features, it was comparatively better looking than your usual demon.

So this was the Demon King?

The Demon King seemed not at all surprised at the appearance of this bunch of human soldiers. It raised its long, sharp claws and tenderly stroked the mass of throbbing vines on the throne. As it glanced around, its gaze fell upon Ji Fengyan and Liu Huo.

Astonishment flashed across its eyes when it saw Liu Huo.

“Honorable Lord, I never expected you to come here? Why have you brought these humans?” The Demon King lowered its head in Liu Huo’s direction and held a paw against its chest in a respectful greeting.

The soldiers were all stunned by the Demon King’s action. They watched as the Demon King bowed at the two persons standing in front of them.

But its statement…

Honorable Lord—no one knew whether it was referring to Ji Fengyan or Liu Huo.

Ji Fengyan was very clear the demon was definitely not addressing her.

Liu Huo didn’t respond but just gazed coldly at the Demon King.

The Demon King didn’t mind his lack of response. It straightened its body and curved its lips up in an elegant smile.

If not for the fact that the Demon King was a still a demon, its demeanor made one think of the human Emperor.

“My child is about to be born. Please leave if you have no business here,” The Demon King said blandly. As he spoke, the countless demon vines within the palace suddenly started quivering. Slender strands of vines twisted towards the entrance of the palace.

The soldiers had a terrible shock. Although it had yet to make a move, the Demon King’s thick demon aura already had them trembling in fright. It was a fear that was drawn from the deep recesses of one’s soul.

Ji Fengyan suddenly swept her evil-vanquishing sword across the ground before her. A pale golden light radiated from the tip of her blade and those vines instinctively shrank back in fear the moment they sensed that light.

The Demon King’s expression shifted. It turned towards Ji Fengyan with an inquisitive and uncertain gaze.

“A Terminator holds such an amazing power? This is really… interesting.” The Demon King gave a faint smile and raised its head to look at Ji Fengyan. “Poor Terminator, do you know what punishment awaits those who intrude on the birth of my child?”

Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes and stared right back at the Demon King with neither humility nor arrogance.

“Punishment? My apologies, I came today not to intrude on the birth of your child, but… to chop off your head.”

The Demon King gave a start before laughing in a deep voice.

“Chop off my head? It’s been a long time since I have met such a brassy Terminator…” It inclined its head slightly and curved one long, sharp claw at Ji Fengyan.

“Pitiful little fellow. Let me tell you what true power is like.”
