Chapter 3382: Lucky Break

Guo Xiaoxu was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to be so confident, but realizing that his strength had broken through to the Ultimate Douluo, he came to terms with it...

"This child, he's now stronger than me, ah, there's no denying old age anymore..."

Well then, today I'll stake my life on him!

The Thousand Demon King naturally heard these words and was instantly enraged. "You lowly human, how dare you look down on me!"

I am the Thousand Demon King, an existence once powerful enough to send chills down the spines of countless Soul Masters and soul beasts. Now, to be ridiculed like this!

Only by slaughtering my opponent can I quell my rage!

Xie Xie spat out and mocked, "Just a sentient tree, I'm certainly not afraid of you!"

"As for you, you better be careful, or I'll turn you into sawdust!"

This guy's defenses are indeed very formidable, but still not enough to stop my attacks!

The Thousand Demon King also stopped wasting words and coldly shouted, "Is that so? Today, your death shall prove my strength!"

The next second, a mass of vines burst forth, aiming to bind him like they had tried with Guo Xiaoxu...

However, Xie Xie didn't dodge, simply standing there in place...

Seeing this, the Thousand Demon King felt a surge of smug satisfaction, "Arrogant human!"

If I catch him, no matter how strong this guy is, he will be immobilized!

Then, I will take my time torturing him to death!

Yet, what happened next made it doubt its own eyes...

The vines pierced straight through Xie Xie as though they had touched something that didn't exist!

The Thousand Demon King shouted in disbelief, "How is this possible, my attack had no effect on you!"

The corners of Xie Xie's mouth turned up slightly, "It's not that it's ineffective, rather it's too slow, unable to keep up with my speed!"

He might have seemed motionless just now, but in reality, he had moved with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye and then returned to his original spot!

After a pause, he pointed behind the opponent, "Also, look behind you!"

The Thousand Demon King was initially confused, then subconsciously turned its enormous body to look...

Behind it, another Xie Xie had appeared at some point!

"What?"

This clone wasted no hesitation, mercilessly gripping the Light and Dark Dragon Dagger in hand, launching an attack...

"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"

Like a phantom, it left over a dozen bloody gashes on the body of the Thousand Demon King...

Pain compelled it to let out an angry roar, "Human, you dare to wound me!"

Xie Xie sneered and tossed the Light and Dark Dragon Dagger in his hand, disdainfully saying, "So what if I wounded you? I intend not only to hurt you but to kill you!"

In an instant, the nine soul rings at his feet lit up...

It had been a long time since he'd met a punching bag, so today was a good day to practice!

However, the strong aura he inadvertently released calmed the Thousand Demon King down...

"You... you've actually reached the level of Ultimate Douluo!"

No wonder his clone could hurt me; turns out he's a top-notch powerhouse among humans!

Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, "What's that? Now that you know my strength, you plan to surrender and concede? Sorry, it's already too late!"

Now even if you don't want to fight, I'm not willing to let you go!

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Demon King suppressed the fury in its heart, "Hmph, surrender, I would never surrender to a human!"

"However, if I'm not mistaken, you must be the one called Xie Xie from the Shrek Seven Monsters, right?"

Xie Xie patted his chest, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, 'tis I indeed!"

The Thousand Demon King glanced at Guo Xiaoxu not far away, showing a few threads of regret...

"Then it seems there's no need to continue this fight!"

After saying that, his massive body began to shrink rapidly, eventually transforming into a human form...

Xie Xie was somewhat puzzled and challenged, "What do you mean by this?"

If he thought he could catch him off guard before making a move, then he was too naive!

The Thousand Demon King merely glanced at him and replied indifferently, "The master specifically ordered that if we encounter anyone from Shrek Academy, we must not kill, only expel!"

"You lot can roll out, as for your trespass into the soul beast forest, I'll pretend I didn't see anything!"

"However, if there is a next time, even with the master's order, I won't hold back!"

Xie Xie scoffed, "Pssh, as if I need you to hold back!"

"But since you're under Gu Yue, I don't want her to blame me after I slaughter you!"

Thereupon, he ignored the Thousand Demon King and appeared instantly beside Guo Xiaoxu...

He asked with concern, "Hall Master Guo, are you alright with your injuries?"

Guo Xiaoxu managed a bitter smile, "Honestly, it's not good... The poison has already infiltrated my body, and if not dealt with, cough cough... it will be troublesome!"

He wasn't joking; although the poison wasn't strong, it was still troublesome to try to purge it from his body using his own strength.

Seeing this, Xie Xie looked towards the Thousand Demon King, "Hey, that Thousand Demon King, right? Get over here and detoxify her quickly. You should know that your master was once a disciple of Tang Sect, and I doubt she'd want to see a Tang Sect Hall Master die at your hands!"

The Thousand Demon King clenched his fists, staring at him ferociously, "You!!"

Xie Xie, however, showed no sign of guilt and continued, "What are you looking at? Hurry up, otherwise, I'll personally go to the Spirit Pagoda and tell Gu Yue about what her subordinates have been up to!"

The Thousand Demon King hesitated for a moment, but eventually compromised...

So be it, let's spare this fellow's life; after all, he's someone known by the master!

Having said that, he controlled a thorny vine, which he plunged into Guo Xiaoxu's abdomen...

Quickly, the poison attached inside was completely drawn out...

As she spat out a mouthful of black blood, the poison was thoroughly cleared.

Once again, Xie Xie couldn't help but ask, "Hall Master Guo, how do you feel now?"

Guo Xiaoxu, who felt no numbness in her legs, stood up again, "Mm... I'm no longer in any danger!"

Then she turned to the Thousand Demon King, "Though you're a ferocious beast, I still thank you!"

The Thousand Demon King crossed his arms, "No need, your human 'thank you' is nothing but a hypocritical gesture!"

"Alright then, that kid called Xie Xie, hurry up and get him out of here!"

Xie Xie glared back at him, "Shut up, I'd do it without you telling me, who'd want to stay here!"

"Let's go, Hall Master Guo!"

After exchanging glances, the two of them quickly left the soul beast forest...

The Thousand Demon King didn't stop them, letting them disappear from sight...

Afterward, he expressed his lingering fear, "Phew... That human called Xie Xie, he really is strong. Even just a clone's attack could break through my defense!"

Of course, a bigger reason was that he was restrained by the opponent, continuing the fight would have gained him nothing!
