Chapter 267: The Southern Sea Goddess, Shi Xiu-2
Puhwaaah!
Ma Jing’s head fell off, spattering blood.
He, who had been displaying monstrous feats of strength just moments ago, was truly dead.
Then, all those who had watched that surreal scene in stunned silence—the warriors of the Fujian Yong family and my own party—froze for a moment before erupting in cheers a beat later.
“Wooooo!”
“The Demon King is dead!”
“The Holy Maiden has vanquished the Demon King!”
“Waaaaaaaah!”
Amidst the Fujian Yong family warriors cheering as if celebrating a festival, I suddenly looked at the Holy Maiden.
She was staring at Ma Gyeong’s corpse with a strangely bitter look in her eyes.
Her face was so disfigured that her expression was hard to discern, but having trained under Elder Mokrang to read people’s hearts, I could tell clearly.
Her eyes were deeply subdued.
Come to think of it, it was perfectly understandable.
She, the absolute master of the martial world, had killed the Demon King with the help of a lowly junior like me. Wouldn’t the world now forever label her as the Demon King’s lackey?
And now that he was dead, there would be no chance to overturn that judgment.
I approached her, bowed my head, and apologized.
“I have brought shame upon your reputation, Holy Maiden. I am truly sorry.”
Her face contorted.
Her face was already so disfigured that even the slightest distortion made her look like a demonic specter.
That hideous sight left me momentarily flustered.
