Chapter 1295 - Chapter 1295 Chapter 1394 Demonic Extermination Needle

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1394: Demonic Extermination Needle Chapter 1295: Chapter 1394: Demonic Extermination Needle “No, no more; I’ve told you everything I know,” Zhou Meng, enduring the pain of his severed arm and covered in cold sweat, said.

Fang Lin’s gaze was piercing, sharp like a knife, seemingly able to see through Zhou Meng’s heart.

However, Zhou Meng, being an old cunning fox, didn’t look at Fang Lin; he bowed his head, completely oblivious to what the old man was thinking.

“Since there’s no valuable information left on you, there’s no need for you to remain alive,” Fang Lin said indifferently, his tone laced with a hint of murderous intent.

Hearing this, Zhou Meng suddenly looked up, glaring at Fang Lin.

“Are you going to kill me?” Zhou Meng said incredulously, unable to believe that Fang Lin, a member of the Pill Alliance, was really going to kill him.

“Why can’t I kill? To let you burden me?” Fang Lin turned away, not even glancing at Zhou Meng, about to let the Demon Puppet take action and get rid of Zhou Meng.

Zhou Meng panicked immediately, quickly saying, “There’s one more thing, I can tell you, but you have to promise to spare my life.”

Fang Lin stopped in his tracks without turning around, and said very calmly, “I will not kill you, but it also depends on whether what you tell me holds value.”

Zhou Meng gritted his teeth and said, “This matter should be very valuable to you, and it’s related to the Dragon Family Demon; you might be very interested.”

Upon hearing it was related to the Dragon Family Demon, Fang Lin indeed became somewhat interested.

“Speak, if it truly holds value, I will let you go,” Fang Lin said.

Zhou Meng, staring at Fang Lin’s back, said in a grim tone, “The Western Moon King had me bring an artifact meant to suppress the Dragon Family Demon, but it has been stolen by someone from the Hidden Kill Hall; that artifact has likely fallen into their hands.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s brows instantly furrowed. An artifact to suppress the Dragon Family Demon? Was there really such an artifact in this world? Could it be that Zhou Meng was speaking nonsense just to save his own life?

After thinking it over carefully, Fang Lin realized it wasn’t entirely impossible. After all, suppressing the Dragon Family Demon sounded too fantastical. Was there really such an artifact in this world?

“I know you won’t easily believe it, but I can tell you, the artifact was personally handed to me by the Western Moon King. In the past, the Dragon Family Demon was injured by this artifact, and with it, all the demonic Qi of the Dragon Family Demon will temporarily vanish, losing all its power.”

Hearing this, Fang Lin began to murmur in his heart. If Zhou Meng wasn’t spouting nonsense, this information might truly be significant for him.

Dragon Family Demon was the biggest ace up Fang Lin’s sleeve, and a talisman that made others wary of him. As long as he had the Dragon Family Demon, those who harbored malice towards Fang Lin wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

If there really was an artifact capable of suppressing the Dragon Family Demon, it would be absolutely deadly for Fang Lin. If his enemies got hold of it, it would render Fang Lin’s trump card useless.

“What exactly is it?” Fang Lin asked; he needed to clarify what kind of artifact might suppress the Dragon Family Demon, as the whole scenario seemed too surreal and unrealistic.

“A thousand years ago, in a fierce battle with many powerful members of the Pill Alliance, the Dragon Family Demon was injured by three Demonic Extermination Needles, and its Demon Body was sealed, leading to its defeat. The Western Moon King gave me one of those needles,” Zhou Meng said.

Upon hearing the words “Demonic Extermination Needle”, the Demon Puppet holding Zhou Meng suddenly moved, and a faint ghostly light flickered in its empty eyes, appearing stimulated.

Fang Lin was immediately shocked, could it be that the Demon Puppet still had a consciousness of its own? Was it now trying to break free from his control?

“Rest assured, this is just its instinctive reaction, not a problem with the puppetry technique. He won’t wake up.” Old Dried Corpse said with considerable confidence.

Sure enough, the Demon Puppet quickly returned to calm, indistinguishable from before.

Fang Lin sighed in relief, but why did the Demon Puppet react like that? Could it really be because Zhou Meng mentioned the three words ‘Demonic Extermination Needle’? Did it instinctively react to the mention of the Dragon Family Demon?

It was indeed very likely. Even though the Dragon Family Demon had been refined into a puppet, it had not died, but merely lost consciousness.

The term ‘Demonic Extermination Needle,’ for the Dragon Family Demon, might just be the very thing that had seriously wounded and defeated it in the past. So even now, when the Dragon Family Demon, turned into a puppet, heard the words ‘Demonic Extermination Needle’, it still had an instinctive reaction.

Zhou Meng also noticed this unusual reaction from the Dragon Family Demon when he mentioned the Demonic Extermination Needle, making him more certain that the Demonic Extermination Needle given to him by the Western Moon King was indeed one of the three needles that had injured the Dragon Family Demon.

Unfortunately, it was no longer on him, Zhou Meng. If he still had the Demonic Extermination Needle, he wouldn’t need to fear the Dragon Family Demon as much.

“Kid, if what he said is true, then we must be wary of this so-called Demonic Extermination Needle,” Old Dried Corpse said.

Fang Lin nodded. If there really was a Demonic Extermination Needle, then this object indeed needed to be handled with caution. If possible, it must be kept in his own hands, not allowing others to obtain it.

Fang Lin also learned that Zhou Meng had only taken out one Demonic Extermination Needle, meaning two more existed within the Pill Alliance.

Previously, Fang Lin was unaware of such a thing as the Demonic Extermination Needle, thinking that having the Dragon Family Demon made him invincible, losing respect and wariness towards the Pill Alliance. He believed that as long as he possessed the Dragon Family Demon, the Pill Alliance could not touch him.

But now it seemed that the Pill Alliance was still the Pill Alliance; even if Fang Lin had the Dragon Family Demon, he could not afford to underestimate them. The Pill Alliance still had the power to suppress Fang Lin and his Demon Puppet; they just had not done so yet.

“The Western Moon King gave you the Demonic Extermination Needle, he really played a good strategy, pity he didn’t expect that before it could be used against me, it would already have been stolen by someone else, how ridiculous,” Fang Lin said coldly, turning to look at Zhou Meng, pondering how to deal with this man.

“I’ve told you everything, please spare my life!” Zhou Meng, catching Fang Lin’s gaze, shuddered and cautiously asked.

Fang Lin stroked his chin and waved his hand, “Alright, you can go.”

After speaking, he signaled the Demon Puppet to release Zhou Meng.

Seeing this, Zhou Meng immediately picked up the severed limb on the ground and hurried away into the distance.

“The Demonic Extermination Needle, it seems I need to find that Hidden Kill Hall assassin,” Fang Lin muttered as he watched Zhou Meng leaving.

Zhou Meng, taking his severed limb, didn’t look back and sped away, fearing that Fang Lin might harbor a desire to kill him again.

Long after, Zhou Meng looked back and, seeing that Fang Lin was not pursuing, he let out a long sigh of relief.

However, Zhou Meng did not notice that in the dense forest ahead of him, a massive swarm of creatures emerged from the ground, moving towards him like a tide.
