Chapter 217: Realgar’s Trick

Shi Ran looked as if he was getting angry.

Today, he was determined to drag that little brat out from behind Dan Zhu.

Bai He secretly felt delighted.

And this was supposed to be a Demon King?

Why he’s getting angry so easily.

Just as Shi Ran approached, something was thrown out from Dan Zhu’s hand.

Accompanied by a strange flash of light, it entered his mouth.

In an instant, it was as if he had lost all his strength.

He staggered to his feet, his legs going numb.

Instinctively, he immediately began circulating his power, trying to force that thing out, but Dan Zhu struck his abdomen several times.

For a moment, Shi Ran could not gather his strength and forcibly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"So powerful..."

"Host, the setting that snakes fear realgar works in every book."

Fortunately, when Bai He went back this time, he had brought a bit of realgar with him.

He did not expect it to actually come in handy, nor did he expect that this Demon King who looked so powerful would be brought down by realgar.

"You..."

Shi Ran clutched his chest.

His stomach churned violently, giving him the urge to vomit, yet nothing would come out.

"Dan Zhu, you actually resorted to a sneak attack. You are despicable."

"And you still dare to talk about Second Senior Brother? You are the despicable one."

"What exactly did you make me eat?"

Bai He coughed lightly twice and spoke two words, "Realgar."

The moment he heard those two words, Shi Ran looked like he wanted to vomit again.

Bai He did not feel proud for long.

After all, he was not sure how much effect that small amount of realgar could have on Shi Ran.

But at the very least, it seemed quite effective for now.

"Haha..."

The laughter did not come from Bai He’s side.

The one laughing at Shi Ran was actually Shi Gui.

Shi Ran gritted his teeth.

That ungrateful thing.

"Shi Gui, I came to save you, and you still dare to laugh at me."

"It seems the little brat showed mercy to me earlier and did not feed me realgar."

Another small figurine appeared in Bai He’s hand.

The figurine seemed to mirror Shi Ran.

As he clutched his stomach in discomfort, it also clutched its stomach.

"You all had better leave quickly, or I will crush you."

"If you have the ability, then crush me." Shi Gui did not believe that a mere paper figurine could do anything to him or control his life.

Bai He let out a cold snort.

To make Shi Ran believe him, he flicked the figurine’s head directly.

Shi Ran immediately felt a trace of pain.

"You had better take your people and leave immediately, or I will really crush you."

"If you are so capable, then why not do it now."

In Shi Ran’s view, if Bai He truly had the ability to kill him, he would never show mercy.

Bai He had already thought of what to say. "Even when you kill us, you still have to consider the consequences. If I kill you, should I not also think about it? After all, you are a Demon King. If I kill you, will not all your demons, big and small, come after me for revenge?"

What Bai He said seemed to make some sense.

"I am warning you. I will count to three. If you do not leave by the time I reach three, I will let you witness the power of the Cryo Sovereign."

Bai He had already infused a strand of his extreme ice power into the realgar that Shi Ran had swallowed earlier.

Since it worked on Shi Gui, it would naturally work on Shi Ran as well.

After all, they were twins.

"Are you feeling your whole body turning cold now..."

Shi Ran indeed felt a trace of chill.

"One, two, three..."

The moment Bai He finished speaking, Shi Ran’s figure appeared in front of him in an instant.

Even Dan Zhu beside him did not notice it.

"Little brat, you are quite interesting."

What was going on?

Bai He’s eyes widened.

"Host, this is the Demon King."

"So it does not work on you?"

"It is not that it does not work. It does have some effect."

But it was not completely effective.

His spiritual power had already been reduced by more than half.

Although Bai He had agreed to let him go, those two would definitely not let him off.

Shi Ran had no choice but to sacrifice a large portion of his spiritual power to suppress the effects brought by Bai He.

At this moment, he looked completely unaffected.

"Little brat, you are welcome to visit the demon clan sometime. Today, I will listen to you and leave."

After saying that, Shi Ran disappeared from in front of Bai He again.

In truth, he had never actually reached Bai He.

It had only been an illusion.

He was still standing in his original spot and had not moved at all.

Since it was the Demon King himself who came to rescue Shi Gui, they could only let him take him away.

The only fortunate thing was that Zhou Yifei had not been injured and the only one who was injured was actually him.

...

Bai He sat in the courtyard while carefully applying medicine to his wounds.

What kind of venomous snake was it that the bite hurt this much?

"Host, at that time, you could have just taken out the realgar and driven those venomous snakes away."

Easy for you to say that.

The amount he brought was not enough.

If he had used it all to drive away those snakes, what would he have done later when facing Shi Ran?

"Indecent, truly indecent..." Xu Feng returned from sword practice, muttering as he spoke, while also walking over with a look of disdain.

Bai He almost grabbed something from the table and threw it straight at him.
