My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1203: Someone Else’s Shadow

"You’re... really quite confident." Su Qiang smiled with deep meaning.

From my understanding of Su Qiang, I immediately understood the implication of her smile.

Quickly turning around, I grabbed Su Xiaomin’s wrist holding the dagger, "Trying to ambush me?"

"You and Su Qiang are both scoundrels." Su Xiaomin, in pain, crumpled to the ground, his mouth still spewing insults.

It seems he loathes Su Qiang just as much as he loathes me.

Perhaps he was threatened with his life, which forced him to attack me from behind.

The knife in his hand was a wooden one stained with mottled blood, emanating a strong evil aura.

If I had been stabbed, my entire Spiritual Power would be sealed instantly.

So... Su Qiang’s real target...

Is it to consume me?

These complex thoughts flashed through my mind in a split second.

I pulled out the flower hairpin, and with a raised hand, cut off the black monster claw reaching for my heart from behind.

The claw dissipated under the Sharp Gold Aura, turning into black smoke as it hit the ground and vanished.

I then felt Su Xiaomin wrapping around my calf, trying to trip me up.

Considering Su Xiaomin might strengthen Su Qiang at any time and had twice harmed me, I showed no mercy.

I took out a fire charm and sent heavenly fire onto Su Xiaomin, "Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill?"

Su Xiaomin completely misjudged me, mistaking me for the weak and easily bullied Su Wan from the past.

I wouldn’t even leave his corpse intact to give Su Qiang a chance to consume him.

Almost in an instant, the nauseating smell of burning filled the air.

Su Xiaomin let out a wild scream, then turned into a pile of white powder on the ground.

Due to the intense heat of the flames, even the white powder dissolved into nothingness.

This scene left Su Qiang, who had never seen my true power, standing petrified.

"Sister... please spare me, I was forced into demonic ways, you swore an oath, you can’t kill me." Su Qiang knelt on the ground, looking at me in terror, yet her lips intentionally curved upwards, "If you kill me, you’ll die, Su Wan."

Her acting was god-like, unafraid of turning herself schizophrenic.

My gaze, sharp as a blade, fell on Su Qiang, suddenly lifting the flower hairpin in my hand.

The hairpin, cutting through her limbs like tofu, was followed by heavenly fire that burned them clean, "Who said I want to kill you, Su Qiang? You have only one path, and that is... to release the people of the town."

"I won’t release them, Su Wan, do you know how many people your actions have doomed." Su Qiang, reduced to a human stump, continued to be utterly brazen.

Her bleeding wounds wriggled, regenerating limbs like sprouts, but the growth was slow, taking about ten seconds to grow a centimeter.

Greatly startled, I smoothly inserted the flower hairpin into her forehead, temporarily sealing the Demonic Qi in her body, "You... you’re using the life force of the townspeople to heal your wounds???"

With her Demonic Qi sealed, Su Qiang immediately lost the ability to drain others’ life force.

Had I been a second late, who knows how many lives would have been sacrificed.

"Yes, it seems you... have not only become stronger but have also gained some knowledge about demons." Su Qiang, her eyes filled with jealousy and hate towards me, looked me up and down with feigned nonchalance, "No matter how strong you become, you can’t seal me forever. Whenever I’m hurt, someone must die."

This implies she’s threatening me, claiming that as long as she’s injured, she’ll use lives to heal herself?

Fortunately, I can still suppress her for a while.,

"Tell me, where did you learn Meishan Mountain Witchcraft? This witchcraft is difficult to learn; without a decade or two of Virgin Skills, you can’t possibly master it." I harbored some suspicions about Zhao Sihai, wondering if he, in his twisted mind, bestowed Su Qiang with Meishan Mountain Witchcraft before he left.

Otherwise, how could Su Qiang have the ability to achieve this kind of power?

Su Qiang chuckled softly, a sudden trace of pity in her eyes as she looked at me, "I truly pity you, pity you for being just a shadow of others, and not realizing it."
