Chapter 3393: Demon Record (16)

Was the snake king simply unable to control this overwhelming demonic energy?

If it kept raging like this, the demonic storm would probably tear the entire house apart.

The snake king’s eyes were blood-red. Scales spread across his face, and a crimson, forked tongue flicked in and out of his mouth.

He stared at Ning Shu and let out a low, sinister growl. “You forced me into this.”

Ning Shu could feel her water barrier shaking violently. It was clearly on the verge of breaking again.

Damn it. A world’s protagonist really was terrifying. Each wave of his attacks was stronger than the last.

Was this because of that bead?

Her face hardened. The kitchen pipes burst, and tap water came blasting out in a roaring spray.

With a point of her finger, Ning Shu directed the water towards the barrier over the ceiling, reinforcing it and increasing its thickness.

In just moments, the snake king’s face became completely covered in scales, packed so densely that only his vertical pupils were visible.

Ning Shu couldn’t bear to look. Her trypophobia was acting up.

“Do you really want to die together with me? Why?” the snake king said in a low voice, hissing as his crimson tongue flicked out. “It was just a misunderstanding. Is it really worth this?”

Ning Shu pointed at her own chest with her eagle claw. It was a bloody mess. “This is a misunderstanding? If I were even a little weaker, I’d already be dead because of you. I’d have no life left, and you’re telling me it’s a misunderstanding?

“And your two kids aren’t anything good either. Sooner or later they’ll end up as snake soup, from the way they’re riding on your coattails and acting all high and mighty.”

If you wanted to show off, you needed the strength to back it up.

Having the strength to show off was a high-level thing that ordinary folks wouldn’t understand.

But what could those two little snakes actually do?

She didn’t know why they’d been able to strut around so arrogantly in front of her and her entrustor, while overflowing with a sense of superiority.

Was her face stamped with the words ‘easy target’ and ‘free for anyone to trample’?

“I was going to spare your life,” the snake king said coldly. “But since you don’t know what’s good for you, then die.”

His eyes turned completely red, and pupils disappeared altogether.

Ning Shu could tell he was extremely anxious—desperate to leave—and that was why he was so eager to kick aside this obstacle blocking his path.

Maybe this power wasn’t really his, but the effect of that bead radiating intense demonic energy.

The snake king went all out. Ning Shu didn’t dare be careless and directly transformed into a massive mountain eagle. Her sharp talons clashed with him.

Glass shattered everywhere. Even the door was smashed into fragments.

In eagle form, Ning Shu’s chest was bare of feathers—she looked like a plucked eagle.

The snake king had his constraints as well, which were An Yujun and their two children. The two little snakes were nestled in his arms, and he still had to hold An Yujun, who was completely unconscious.

An Yujun’s hair was blown into a mess by the demonic energy winds, and her face was tinged blue.

Worse still, foul, menstrual-like discharge had soaked her trousers.

The room was filled not only with the stench of snakes and thick bloodshed, but also a foul odor coming from An Yujun herself—the smell of rotten eggs.

In the original storyline, An Yujun gave birth to two intact snake eggs. It was a normal delivery because Yuan Liang treated her well, and she had no worries when giving birth.

But now, Ning Shu’s attitude towards her was unclear, and the two children had an extremely poor impression of Ning Shu. They were convinced she wanted to eat them.

They’d refused to come out and insisted on staying inside her body.

Now the eggshells were still inside, inflamed and rotting.

Ning Shu gritted her teeth. Every time she clawed the snake king, it felt like striking red-hot iron—hard and burning.

The snake king wasn’t having it easy either. The power of the demon king core was rampaging inside his body. It was an immense force he couldn’t fully control.

He had too many things to juggle: suppressing the berserk energy inside him, protecting his woman and children—

And on top of that, there was this brain-dead eagle relentlessly hounding him.

If he hadn’t been pushed to the brink, he would never have recklessly used the demon king core.

And with demonic energy this intense, the Special Investigation Bureau would be drawn here very soon.

Damn idiot. The snake king thought this eagle’s brain was seriously broken. What was the point of them fighting like this?

That damned eagle was making such a huge deal out of a small misunderstanding. If it delayed his important business, he’d pluck every single feather off this eagle, one by one—then rip out the damned eagle’s sharp talons, one by one.

The snake king went berserk and attacked Ning Shu with increasing brutality.

At the same time, more and more small snakes began to gather around.

They were being summoned by the snake king. Snakes of every kind, large and small, in all sorts of colors, were slithering towards Ning Shu’s building.

Some of them were even tangled together, seemingly mating.

Their bodies writhed, exposing their pale bellies as they coiled together.

Thankfully, it was night. If this were daytime, people would’ve been scared to death.

Dense masses of snakes, with flicking tongues—just imagining it made goosebumps erupt all over.

Some climbed up along vines on the walls, while others crawled out of drainage pipes, flicking their tongues as they slithered towards Ning Shu.

There were many of them.

“Aren’t you a snake-catching expert?” the snake king said with a harsh, mocking laugh. “Go on, catch them now.”

Ning Shu: …

She felt a chill crawl up her spine.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t fight them. Snakes were just inherently unsettling. Once there were too many of them around, her hair stood on end uncontrollably. It was a purely instinctive revulsion.

Just then, An Yujun woke up.

The first thing she saw was the snake king’s scale-covered face, his blazing-red eyes, and his forked crimson tongue flicking in and out of his mouth.

Upon realising that she was being held in the arms of such a monster, she screamed.

“It’s me,” the snake king said. “My demonic power got out of control. That’s why I look like this.”

An Yujun was still shaken. Then, she saw the room full of snakes and nearly screamed again.

She trembled violently. Her face shifted between pale and blue, like a white magnolia battered by a violent storm.

She clutched the snake king’s neck, looking lost and pitiful. The demonic energy winds whipped her hair into chaos. Strands repeatedly slapped against both her face and his.

Such misbehaving hair.

“Open the barrier,” the snake king said to Ning Shu. “If you do that, I’ll make these snakes leave.”

As time passed, more and more snakes crawled in. The floor was now covered in a thick layer of them, to the point where the floor itself was no longer visible.

They pressed and coiled around each other. The room was filled with nonstop hissing.

Ning Shu knocked her knuckles against her own head. She’d been so focused on reinforcing the water barrier over the ceiling that she hadn’t noticed the gaps forming in the barrier at her feet.

Looking at the room packed with snakes, Ning Shu frowned deeply.

Catching them one by one? She’d be exhausted to death before she was done.
