Great Demon King 09

Xin Lan couldn’t believe that just a few minutes after she left, something happened over there.

When she walked into the living room, everyone was standing far apart, and the sharp tip of Pi Tianzi’s small lace umbrella had pierced Molly’s chest.

The miserable scream came from Molly herself, and by her side, Ke Xuguang was holding a cane, looking somewhat bewildered.

Pi Tianzi pulled out her umbrella, and blood splattered everywhere.

Blood also stained the lace umbrella, dripping down bit by bit.

“People like you should just die sooner.”

Pi Tianzi’s face remained expressionless, but her tone sounded delighted.

Molly, clutching her wound, collapsed onto the sofa and looked towards Ke Xuguang. He raised his cane and attacked Pi Tianzi.

Pi Tianzi used the umbrella to block his attack, but there was still a significant difference in strength between a man and a woman. She evaded in a somewhat panicked and embarrassed manner, quickly opening her own umbrella.

There were still dried bloodstains on the umbrella’s surface, and at the moment she opened it, they shook off and fell to the ground.

The white umbrella’s surface instantly became stained with blood, and Pi Tianzi held the umbrella, leisurely floating in mid-air.

Now, Ke Xuguang had no way to attack her.

“So, this is the function of her umbrella.”

Yu Wan Yan murmured as she drifted behind Xin Lan.

“It seems quite practical.”

Xin Lan replied, rubbing her chin.

It could be used as a weapon and, if necessary, for escape.

“My possessions are more powerful than hers. I don’t believe it; try using it!”

Xin Lan glanced at the violin and bow in her hands. Although they weren’t large, holding them was still inconvenient, and she didn’t want to use supernatural items without a good reason.

Seeing Xin Lan only holding the items without showing much interest, Yu Wan Yan felt somewhat disappointed.

Clearly, her violin is incredibly powerful, and she acts all high and mighty, doesn’t she?

Molly’s face contorted in pain, and due to her severe injuries, her complexion turned deathly pale. Sweat dripped from her forehead, showing her obvious agony.

She had been stabbed through by that umbrella, and in her current condition, there was practically no hope for her survival.

No one dared to accuse or sympathize with her.

Pi Tianzi floated in the air, looking at Molly with great satisfaction.

“I guess you probably forgot about me long ago, right? Of course, someone like you, who knows how many times you’ve been the third wheel, how could you remember the time you tried to steal my partner?”

Pi Tianzi looked at Molly, who was in agony and near death, and spoke with a hint of mockery.

Molly’s blood had already stained Pi Tianzi’s palm as she pressed it against her. The bloodstains stood out conspicuously against her white dress.

“Someone like you deserves to be cheated on. Even if I die now, so what? At least I once lived without regrets. Unlike you, a pitiful creature.”

Molly struggled to breathe and spoke in broken sentences. She probably knew there was no hope for her and stopped fighting, just staring at Pi Tianzi.

Why does this woman have such a strong animosity towards me from the very beginning? But I didn’t pay much attention to it; there have been plenty of girls who dislike me.

“Poor thing? I think you’re the pitiful one here, always engaging in shady activities, being despised by everyone. Your mother must have been cursed for eight lifetimes to give birth to such a despicable person like you.”

As Pi Tianzi looked at this person on the verge of death, her heart was filled with the satisfying pleasure of revenge. Yet, this person dared to mock her.

She was just a high-class mistress, always being someone else’s lover, the other woman, and yet, she managed to feel superior.

According to Pi Tianzi, if someone had to wear the green hat, it shouldn’t have been on that man; he was too good for this person.

Xin Lan glanced at the clearly decided situation, preparing to leave, but at that moment, Molly let out an even more agonizing cry.

Her body suddenly curled up, and her long hair stuck to her face due to sweat.

“No! Save me, please, I beg you, save me…”

Molly cried out in despair, feeling the pain of her skin tearing apart, pleading with everyone for help.

She let out a sharp scream, one that could almost pierce through a person’s eardrums.

She collapsed onto the sofa, frantically covering her face.

Her hand still bore bloodstains, and amidst her frantic movements, her face had been stained with a lot of blood, making it look particularly horrifying.

But that wasn’t the most terrifying part; the next moment brought an acid-inducing scene.

Molly’s skin seemed to be torn off by someone, bit by bit, from her face.

Everyone could clearly see the exposed flesh inside, causing a surge of nausea in their stomachs.

Sheng Lifan and the others couldn’t help but cover their mouths, desperately trying to control their urge to vomit.

The scene was simply too disgusting.

Amidst Molly’s continuous screams of pain and agony, her skin was being peeled off bit by bit.

The face without skin, only flesh, was almost nightmare-inducing.

Xin Lan’s brow also furrowed tightly as she turned away.

In the end, Molly was so weak that she couldn’t even let out a scream. She knelt on the ground, seemingly struggling to breathe.

Her wound was already enough to cause her death, and now she had to endure this gruesome skinning alive.

Not long after, she stopped moving altogether.

It appeared she had died.

The exposed underlying tissues and the thick scent of blood in the air made the others look at each other warily.

This is no longer a time for everyone to cooperate and search for clues. Although one person has already died, to proceed to the next level, another person must also die.

Each person has their own thoughts, and Xin Lan decided to return to the stairwell.

“So, you need to try your best not to be eliminated, or else I’ll devour you.”

Yu Wan Yan encouraged Xin Lan, trying to boost her morale.

“If I can get out of here, you can too, right?”

“Of course! Otherwise, why would we all hope that our prey can win? But even if we lose, it won’t be a total loss.”

Yu Wan Yan openly shared their plan with Xin Lan. If they win, both of them can happily get out of here. If they lose, Yu Wan Yan can still have this person, which is definitely a win-win situation.

She wasn’t afraid to reveal this because she believed that after hearing her words, Xin Lan would be even more determined to stand with her and work together to find a way out.

“Where do you come from, and why did you appear here?”

“I don’t know. We just arrived, and then a voice told us that we should do this.”

“Do you still remember what happened before?”

“I don’t remember, but what’s the big deal? I’m already dead, anyway.”

Yu Wan Yan wasn’t interested in her past memories; she was more interested in the person in front of her.

Xin Lan didn’t stay alone for long, as footsteps echoed on the stairs.

Xin Lan looked at Qi Haolin, who was trying to get closer, and used the violin to keep him at bay.

“Lan Lan, can you please not be angry? You saw the situation just now. We might as well stick together for now, and I can protect you. Look, besides that woman who has already killed someone, everyone else here is a man. You’re a girl, and what if they target you?”

Qi Haolin waved his hand, indicating that he meant no harm.

“At least we had that kind of relationship before. I’d rather have others die than see anything happen to you. Let’s stick together until we reach the third level, where we have to go to the rooftop. Then we can go our separate ways and compete fairly, how about that?”

His proposal sounded quite appealing, but it seemed that Qi Haolin still misjudged the situation.

It seems that kicking him earlier didn’t teach him a lesson after all.

“Leave my sight within thirty seconds, and I might consider not taking action against you.”

What a pipe dream! He actually wants her to cooperate with him.

He shouldn’t think she’s unaware of his intentions. He just wants to use her as a backup plan, taking out stronger opponents first and keeping the weaker ones for later, when there are fewer people above.

However, Qi Haolin miscalculated. Standing before her is no longer a weak little rabbit but a terrifying demon king.

“If you don’t want to follow me, who do you want to follow? That pretty boy? Look at him, how could he possibly protect you? Don’t tell me that after breaking up with me, you’ve changed your taste.”

Qi Haolin was already irritable because of the green hat on his head, but he didn’t expect Xin Lan to let him go. Her words were sharp and sarcastic, leaving him with a gloomy expression.

“Seven seconds.”

Qi Haolin was taken aback.

Then realized that Xin Lan was giving him a countdown to leave.

“Three.”

“Two.”

“One.”

After the countdown, Xin Lan immediately kicked Qi Haolin down the stairs.

Qi Haolin was caught off guard and tumbled down.

Xin Lan retracted her foot, feeling annoyed. Why was he so stubborn? She had told him to leave, but he didn’t listen.

At this point, she really didn’t want to beat him to death before reaching the top; he kept coming back for trouble.

The kick almost caused internal injuries, and as Qi Haolin rolled down the stairs and collided with the wall, his whole body ached.

Qi Haolin stood up, clenched his fists, his eyes slightly bloodshot.

He rushed up, intending to drag Xin Lan down.

He couldn’t tolerate this kind of treatment again; enduring it once was enough. If he endured it again, he would be a coward.

Worst case scenario, he would just kill her first, and deal with the rest once they reached the top.

Xin Lan grabbed his outstretched hand, twisted it back, and at the same time, kicked Qi Haolin in the lower body, causing him to kneel on the stairs.

Fighting on the stairs was not ideal, but Qi Haolin struggled to stand up. Xin Lan, however, held his other arm, wrapped it around his neck, and pulled him back. One foot stomped on his back, exerting heavy pressure on Qi Haolin’s body.

Qi Haolin’s face was pressed against the stairs, showing a mixture of shock and pain.

He couldn’t understand how he ended up pinned down by Xin Lan in an instant. Amidst the anger, embarrassment, shock, and surprise, he even forgot about the pain he was experiencing. Especially with Xin Lan still stepping on him, he struggled hard, but she yanked his hair and slammed his head forcefully against the sharp edge of the stair, causing an immediate swelling and bruising on the impacted area. Qi Haolin’s head also felt dizzy.

“I’ve told you several times, stay away from me, get out of my sight. Why don’t you understand plain words?”

Xin Lan released the hand holding Qi Haolin’s arm and stomped on his back again.

She really didn’t want to be so impulsive, but this person really irritated her. Regardless of the final evaluation, she would deal with him first.

Even after their recent altercation, there was no sign of the vibrant green hat on Qi Haolin’s head falling off.

Suddenly, Xin Lan felt something and took a few steps back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Haolin sat up, and next to him stood a long-haired ghost with a veiled face.

“Kill her.”

Qi Haolin touched his forehead and looked at Xin Lan with a fierce glare.
