4: Chapter 4 Wrath

The Skeleton Demon Lord's expression changed.

Once the others arrived, it would likely be impossible for him to keep this kid all to himself.

However, if he couldn't have him, then no one else would either.

Immediately, he struck out at Chu Yang with another palm, intending to destroy all traces of his body.

"Motherfucker!"

Cursing under his breath, Chu Yang could only drag his heavily injured body to use his full strength to block once more.

Boom!

Hiss!

With a muffled groan, Chu Yang fell into the rubble, his clothes torn to shreds and his body covered in wounds. His aura had completely withered away.

The medicinal effects had completely vanished.

"Still not dead?"

The Skeleton Demon Lord was annoyed. He hadn't expected Chu Yang to be so resilient; even on the brink of death, he could still take another palm strike head-on.

Thus, with a low growl, he launched another palm strike.

At that moment, a woman's voice—seductive to the bone yet laced with a bone-chilling coldness, like a venomous snake—resonated through the cave.

"Skeleton Demon Lord, what do you think you're doing?"

As the voice faded, a woman wearing a long green dress with a voluptuous figure and an enchanting face appeared before Chu Yang, blocking the palm strike for him.

"Poison Concubine!"

The Skeleton Demon Lord stared intently at Poison Concubine. "This Lord intends to kill someone. Are you going to step in and stop me?"

"Kill someone? Then you'd better see who it is you're trying to kill!"

Poison Concubine sneered. "I'm sorry, but the person you want to kill is a Cauldron I need."

As she finished speaking, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Black Demon Elder, and the Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect, Bi Luo, arrived as well.

"What's going on here?"

Elder Heavenly Demon's aged gaze swept across the scene, finally landing on Chu Yang with a furrowed brow.

This boy should be that once-in-a-millennium Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment genius of the Demon Domain, but why was he so heavily injured?

Seeing the prominent Heavenly Demon Sect badge on Elder Heavenly Demon's chest and sensing his overwhelming aura, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

This must be the supreme expert of the Demon Domain!

With him here, the Skeleton Demon Lord would definitely not dare to act recklessly.

So he immediately said, "Cough, cough... Great Elder, I was just cultivating when this old thing suddenly burst in, demanding I become his slave and serve him in dual cultivation..."

"He said if I didn't comply, he'd rape me then kill me, then refine me into a skeleton to be raped and killed day and night..."

"Though we of the Demon Domain are demons, how can there be someone so disgusting, so shameless, and so vile?"

Hearing this, Poison Concubine, Bi Luo of the Hehuan Sect, and Elder Heavenly Demon all felt their stomachs churn with indescribable disgust.

They were all aware of the Skeleton Demon Lord's way of doing things, but they hadn't expected him to have become perverted to this extent.

To kill someone and then refine them into a puppet just to rape and kill them again—it truly left one without peace even in death.

Seeing the strange looks from Elder Heavenly Demon, Bi Luo, and Poison Concubine, the Skeleton Demon Lord instantly flew into a rage.

"Don't listen to this kid's nonsense! How could I possibly like men, or rape and kill them?"

Although he had long since lost his actual face, he still cared somewhat about his reputation.

"Heh..."

Chu Yang struggled to raise his arm, pointing at the Skeleton Demon Lord's lower body. "You're still making excuses? You've even fucking taken your pants off!"

"But I really didn't expect that the great Skeleton Demon Lord's thing would be as thin as a chopstick—no, it's not even as thick as a caterpillar. No wonder you're so perverted and disgusting..."

Elder Heavenly Demon, Bi Luo, and Poison Concubine hadn't paid much attention at first, but upon hearing this, they subconsciously looked toward the Skeleton Demon Lord's groin.

Though it was obscured by black mist, given their strength, the Skeleton Demon Lord's mist naturally couldn't affect their vision at all.

"Pfft... It really is just a bean sprout. Who would have thought? Haha!"

Poison Concubine covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

The mockery on Bi Luo's face grew even stronger. "No wonder you, the Skeleton Demon Lord, hide away all day playing with skeletons. With that little bean sprout of yours, no one would ever actually want you!"

Even Elder Heavenly Demon felt that the Skeleton Demon Lord was somewhat pitiful.

With it being so small, it seemed only natural that the Skeleton Demon Lord would become so perverted and disgusting.

"I... I didn't..."

The Skeleton Demon Lord subconsciously tried to explain while immediately using spiritual power to weave a garment for cover, but it was clearly too late.

"It's nothing, everyone saw it clearly. You're just a useless waste!"

Chu Yang added fuel to the fire to vent his own anger.

"Boy, you're looking for death!"

The Skeleton Demon Lord's gaze turned cold as his hands formed seals, striking out violently at Chu Yang.

"Skeleton Blood Hand Print!"

Roar!

A blood-colored skeletal fist print, carrying a terrifying malevolent energy, flew toward Chu Yang.

"Old thing, how dare you touch my man! What audacity!"

At that moment, a flaming figure suddenly appeared and threw a punch against the Skeleton Blood Hand Print.

Chi Lian had arrived!

Boom!

Flames exploded across the sky, and the Skeleton Blood Hand Print was quickly shattered.

Soon, the flames dispersed, revealing a red-haired woman with a figure as enchanting as fire.

As the spiritual power settled, Chi Lian looked at the wretched state of Chu Yang and immediately became furious.

"Skeleton Demon Lord, this boy is my Cauldron. He has already been marked as mine, yet you have injured him so severely. What is the meaning of this? Do you wish to go to war with me?"

"Cauldron?"

The Skeleton Demon Lord sneered. "He's just one of your vessels. This Lord takes what he wants and kills whom he wants. Why should I not?"

"Besides, it's just a mere vessel. Is there any need for such a fuss?"

Before Chi Lian could speak, Poison Concubine cut in first, "If he were just a mere vessel, you wouldn't have rushed here so quickly yourself, Skeleton Demon Lord."

"Besides having a Pure Yang Body, this boy has also achieved Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment."

Zhu Qing, from the corner, had already sent her a voice transmission informing her of everything.

Of course, even if Zhu Qing hadn't told her, she would have been able to sense it for herself.

Otherwise, why would they all have come here together instead of going elsewhere?

"So it really was you."

Chi Lian's gaze toward Chu Yang held a hint of something different. A vessel she had obtained by chance actually possessed such heaven-defying talent.

But why?

The pills she had given him were supposed to make it impossible to break through to Foundation Establishment.

Could it be that there was something else strange about this kid?

Seeing this, Chu Yang immediately adopted a humble posture and wailed to Chi Lian, "Master, this old pervert wanted to rape and kill me as soon as he arrived, and make me his slave!"

"When I refused, he threatened to..."

He embellished the story and recounted it once more.

"You little bastard, you're the pervert! You're the one who likes men!..."

The Skeleton Demon Lord's fury flared up again. "Do you really think this Lord doesn't dare to kill you?"

"Master, I'm so scared! Did you hear that? He's threatening to kill me! Hurry and kill this dead pervert!"

Chu Yang continued to stir the pot.

In the next moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host's body is severely injured and is suffering from malevolent energy erosion. System activated: all malevolent energy will be converted into nourishment to help the host repair injuries and increase strength..."

As the system voice ended, Chu Yang immediately felt a warm current surging through his limbs and bones. The wounds on the surface of his body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Chi Lian glanced at Chu Yang. She didn't really care about his words, but she was surprised to see his weak life force beginning to grow again.

This kid's recovery power was that freakish?

Then she had better keep a very close eye on this Cauldron.
