The Yandere Male Lead Chases Me-Chapter 762: Demon King Going Dark 25

A golden light shot out from the eyes of the statue.

Hua Qing looked up, and Su Yan reached out to cover his eyes.

"Don’t look."

Su Yan hugged him tightly.

Hua Qing simply let her do so.

In that moment, the matter of obtaining the Holy Artifact was forgotten.

He lowered his eyes, a smile curling up at the corners of his lips.

Was she protecting him?

This realization,

Made his tainted, collapsed heart tremble for a rare instant.

His father planned to turn him into a Medicine Man, and his mother cursed him on her deathbed.

His friends and teachers joined hands to destroy his cultivation and threw him off a cliff, intending to completely wipe him out.

From the moment he woke up, there was only one thought in his heart.

Everyone should die.

His father, his teachers, his friends.

He would kill them all with his own hands.

That sliver of kindness had been wiped out; wasn’t Heaven keeping him alive just for revenge?

This thought of his had never wavered.

And he walked on this path without ever looking back.

But this Su Yan,

Was somewhat unexpected, and increasingly so.

This seemed, to be the first time someone was protecting him.

He wanted to hold her, to keep holding her.

His hands unknowingly embraced her frail body into his arms.

His head rested on her shoulder.

Letting her protect him.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the villagers suddenly approached them with murderous intent.

Just hearing that elder of the Snake-man Clan

"Throw this man into the holy light, sacrifice him to the gods."

"Yes!"

Voices of agreement arose from all sides, and then, everyone advanced.

Next to them, Sheng Rou stood there with her eyes closed, bitterly sustaining something.

Sheng Rou is the Holy Daughter of the Snake-man Clan, said to have the ability to converse with gods.

In the eyes of the Snake-man Clan, it was the Holy Daughter who summoned the gods. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Therefore, the Holy Daughter’s status in the Snake-man Clan was exceptionally high.

But in reality, it was not so.

The so-called conversing with gods was actually conversing with the Holy Artifact.

Su Yan’s body turned, and she quickly ran towards Sheng Rou, then grabbed her wrist.

She lifted the Dagger in her hand, sliced open the palm of her hand, and blood dripped down.

Su Yan grasped her wrist and forcefully pressed it against the statue behind them.

Blood flowed down from Sheng Rou’s palm.

Sheng Rou panicked

"No, no, no."

The advancing people around them halted their steps.

Everyone began to retreat, displaying terrified expressions.

Su Yan stood there, feeling the tips of her fingers petrifying.

Soon, her whole body would become petrified.

That was why this Holy Artifact was called Medusa’s Curse.

It petrified everyone it touched.

Her gaze turned towards Hua Qing.

Almost the moment their eyes met, she managed just in time to curl the corners of her lips, her words unspoken.

Instantly turned into a statue.

Sheng Rou let out a cry of pain.

The blood in her body was being drawn out by the statue.

Sheng Rou finally fainted completely.

Her body slumped, crashing onto the high platform.

Hua Qing stood there, his body stiffening.

He probably never expected that the woman who just had been in his arms would turn into stone in the blink of an eye.

The stone cracked open, and a Scepter with a golden snake head emerged.

Hovering in mid-air, emitting a glowing light.

The villagers who had retreated far away, all knelt down on the ground

"God!"

The Scepter with the golden snake head had mysterious and ancient black patterns, giving off a suffocating feeling to those who faced it.
