Chapter 594 - A Demon's Cry
"Hurry up and tell me how many humans you killed today. I'm not a very patient person." Yuan spoke before crushing the demon into meat paste again.
Once it regenerated, the demon muttered in a trembling voice, "I-I don't remember…"
"You don't remember? Maybe this will jog your memories."
Splat!
The demon slammed into the ground, instantly turning into a pool of blood.
"Do you remember now?" Yuan asked it again after it regenerated.
"I—"
However, before it could even speak, Yuan interrupted it by flattening it again.
"AAAHHHH!"
Splat!
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!"
Splat!
After flattening the demon a dozen times, Yuan finally stopped flattening it without letting it speak.
"Do you remember now?"
"I-I-I remember! I remember! Please! I remember everything!" The demon quickly responded this time, as it feared that Yuan would flatten it again before it could even speak.
"Speak."
"I-I killed—"
Splat!
The demon was flattened again before it could even give an answer.
Once the demon regenerated, Yuan said in a calm voice, "Oh, my bad. I instinctively flattened you just now."
The demon felt like cursing out loud, but it resisted and spoke, "138 humans! I killed 138 humans today!"
"138 humans, huh? Then I will have to flatten you 13,800 times as punishment." Yuan casually said.
"What?! 13,800?! You said ten times for every human I killed! It should be 1,380 times!" The demon quickly said in a panicked manner.
"Hm? You can do math? How surprising. Either way, I don't have the time to torture you so many times, so I will torture you with a different method."
Yuan snapped his fingers, creating three more golden swords before sending them at the demon's other hand and legs, completely pinning the demon on the ground.
Yuan then summoned one more sword, and this golden sword was twice the size of the other swords.
Once he created the sword, he sent it flying into the demon's back.
"AAAAHHHH!"
The demon roared, feeling indescribable pain that was many times more painful than being flattened into meat paste.
Once all five golden swords were piercing the demon's body, Yuan casually waved his hands.
The next moment—
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The demon released its loudest scream yet when a thousand tiny golden swords suddenly burst from within its body, turning the demon's body into something that looked like it had been attacked by a porcupine.
Its eyes, mouth, ears— there were tiny golden swords all over its body.
The pain was so unbearable that the demon lost consciousness.
Unfortunately, the demon's regenerative abilities would kick in a moment later, taking away its peace that lasted only a short moment.
"Please… Stop…"
The demon pleaded with bloody tears flowing down its face.
"Hm? What did you just say? I couldn't hear you, so I will assume that you want to experience it again."
And without waiting for the demon to respond, Yuan created another burst of golden swords inside its body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
The demon's cry echoed in the Jaded Garden that was almost completely evacuated by now.
Meanwhile, Senior Hong and the other two grand elders that stayed behind with Yuan had finally managed to return to the Jaded Garden.
They were shocked to see the destruction caused by the demon, but before they had any chance to ponder about the situation, they heard an inhuman scream coming from the direction of the immortal caves.
The grand elders mistook this inhuman cry as a human crying for help, so they immediately rushed to the scene.
And to their absolute shock, when they arrived at the scene, they could only see Yuan standing in front of a collapsed demon that had many golden swords piercing its body.
The grand elders doubted their eyes for a moment, but they eventually came to the realization that it was actually the demon who was crying for help when they heard the inhuman screams!
However, they didn't dare to approach the scene at this moment, as they felt that something was different— odd about Yuan, so they decided to watch them from a distance.
"Hey, what did you say just now? Can you repeat it for me?" Yuan asked the demon afterward.
"Please… Stop…" The demon pleaded again.
After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke in a cold voice, "I refuse."
And another burst of golden swords assaulted the demon.
However, Yuan didn't stop this time and continued to create golden swords inside the demon's body.
Eventually, the demon's figure was entirely covered in golden swords, making its appearance unrecognizable.
Sometime later, Yuan removed all of the golden swords from the demon's body.
Although the demon was on the verge of going insane, it recognized its chance to escape from this hell, and the moment it could move again, it immediately stood up and began running away.
Yuan could've easily prevented the demon from running, but he didn't do anything and silently watched the demon run.
The demon quickly reached the invisible wall, but it didn't care and continued to move forward, slowly forcing itself out of the Demon Sealing Zone.
"I'd rather be sealed again than let you play with me any further, Divine Paragon!" The demon laughed out loud as it exited the Demon Sealing Zone, feeling relieved that it will all be over soon.
The moment the demon left the formation, its entire body turned into stone, becoming sealed again.
"Yes! He did it! He really defeated the demon!" The grand elders were excited to see the demon sealed again.
Seeing the demon sealing itself, Yuan burst out laughing, and he calmly approached the sealed demon.
Once he was in range, Yuan gently tapped the sealed demon with his finger.
A moment later, cracks began appearing on the sealed demon, shocking the grand elders.
"W-What…?"
The demon, who had lost consciousness after being sealed, was suddenly awake again.
It silently stood there in a daze, wondering to itself if it was dreaming.
Seeing the demon's puzzlement, Yuan spoke with a grin on his face, "Did you really think you could escape my punishment by sealing yourself? If I can seal you… I can also unseal you!"
When the demon heard Yuan's words and realized that it wasn't dreaming, it literally lost its mind from shock and terror, and it also finally understood why even the strongest demons would run away in fear when they hear the name 'Divine Paragon'.
