"My sword is thirsting for blood; it needs to kill stronger ones," a man whispered in the hall, behind him lay the hundreds of lives he had just slain.

"Heart, delicious, delicious." The sound of chewing could be heard, but upon closer inspection, it was a short person squatting on a corpse, as if eating.

"Men are all my devoted followers." A seductive voice rang out, and dozens of men knelt on the ground like dogs, staring fervently at the woman who spoke, barking as if trying to please their master.

Chapter 112, Brain-Damaging Pill, Specially for Treating Brain Damage

"How many waves is this again?" Yi Shuihan muttered to himself, speechless, as he killed another group of people who came to intercept him.

Before they could find the Five Demons, Yi Shuihan and his companions encountered several unprovoked ambushes. The demons would excitedly rush at them without saying a word as soon as they saw Yi Shuihan.

Once or twice could be considered an accident, but after it happens many times, even a fool would know something is wrong.

Yi Shuihan and his men were not stupid, so after several attempts, they spared a prisoner and found out the truth.

It turns out that these people's goal was their heads. They had somehow gotten the information that as long as they got the heads of any one of the three people, they could get a spot to leave the valley.

These three people are Yi Shuihan, Kuzan, and Sakazuki.

"We've become the hot commodity! If I were them, they'd probably be tempted too. Compared to this godforsaken place, the outside world is truly paradise." After a few days, they had gained some understanding of the valley. It was basically a primitive area, and the people lived lives no different from savages. Apart from sleeping and finding food, there was practically no other entertainment. As for women, they were extremely rare in the valley, and you had to be incredibly strong to snatch one.

For ordinary people, survival is extremely difficult. They have to guard against being hunted by others every day. If they stay here for too long, they become mentally unstable, and it becomes common for them to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Eileen felt very lucky at this moment. She had previously thought she was extremely unlucky to have encountered Yi Shuihan and his group, who had killed all her companions. Although her companions were not close friends and had only gathered together for survival.

But they are companions after all, and without them, survival would be even more difficult.

Unexpectedly, the other party asked her to lead the way. In the few days that she followed them, Eileen witnessed what true power was. No matter what kind of enemy they encountered, they dealt with them easily, and the enemies didn't even have to touch them.

With her safety absolutely guaranteed, Eileen even felt that as long as she stayed by their side, she might even have a chance to leave the valley.

Leaving the valley and leaving this hellish place was something she could never have imagined before, because her strength in the valley was only in the middle to lower range, and there were many people stronger than her, so leaving the valley was impossible.

What surprised Eileen even more was that the man named Yi Shuihan could perform magic tricks. Every time it was mealtime, he would conjure up delicious food, as if there was nothing he couldn't create. He even had a bed to sleep in at night. This kind of life was simply paradise, making her reluctant to leave.

Eileen now completely regards Yi Shuihan as her hope, but as for Kuzan, that ice-cold man, Eileen is still very afraid of him.

"Stop!" Yi Shuihan suddenly raised his right hand, making a stop gesture.

Eileen obediently stopped and looked around warily. She trusted Yi Shuihan completely, and since he said that, he must have his reasons.

"Finally, someone qualified has arrived. I can loosen up my muscles this time." Yi Shuihan's words surprised Eileen. She had never seen Yi Shuihan make a move before and thought that Yi Shuihan was not very strong and that his most important role was to conjure up various daily necessities.

So it wasn't that he wasn't strong, but that the people he had spoken to before were too weak for him to bother with?

So just how strong are the enemies that he would set his sights on?

"I never expected to be so lucky. I just came out to find blood food and I encountered two qualified individuals." Without warning, a stream of blood appeared in front of me, and in a moment the blood transformed into a person.

An extremely strong, fishy smell wafted through the air, and the surrounding air seemed to have a faint bloody hue.

"Blood Demon!" Upon seeing this person, Eileen exclaimed in shock, her eyes slowly filling with fear, her body trembling as if her mind had been shaken.

She had never seen the Blood Demon, but she knew it was the Blood Demon because of its bizarre entrance and the chilling feeling deep in her soul.

"A Devil Fruit user?" Kuzan's gaze turned serious as he saw the Blood Demon, no longer languid. He could sense that the Blood Demon's strength was enough to threaten him.

However, the next moment, Kuzan relaxed again. He glanced at Yi Shuihan and, seeing Yi Shuihan's excited expression, felt a pang of pity for the Blood Demon.

This Blood Demon was unlucky to run into Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan looked at the Blood Demon's scarlet eyes with curiosity on his face. "Hey, do you have conjunctivitis?"

"Uh..." The tense atmosphere suddenly changed. Blood Demon was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily, "You're the one who's sick, your whole family is sick."

Blood Demon was once an ordinary person. Before he ate the Blood Fruit, his eyes were a beautiful azure blue, and he was proud of his beautiful eyes.

However, after consuming the Blood-Blood Fruit, he gained immense power, but his eyes were transformed into this state, never to return to their former appearance. This caused him immense grief, and from then on, he felt humiliated whenever anyone mentioned his eyes.

It can be said that the eyes are the Blood Demon's Achilles' heel, and anyone who mocks his eyes will be killed by him in the most cruel way.

"So it turns out not only are his eyes diseased, but his mind is also seriously impaired. Alas," Yi Shuihan said with a compassionate expression, which made the Blood Demon's forehead veins bulge.

Just as the Blood Demon was about to teach Yi Shuihan a lesson, Yi Shuihan flipped his hand and a bottle appeared. "Come, come, it's okay if you're sick. I have medicine here. Take it and I guarantee you'll be cured."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he tossed the bottle aside, and the Blood Demon instinctively reached out and used the bottle as a springboard.

The three words "Brain-damaging pill" were clearly visible on the bottle, along with a description of the medicine: "Professional treatment for idiots and brain-damaging patients. Take one pill three times a day, for a course of treatment every seven days. After one course of treatment, an ordinary person will become an idiot; after two courses, an idiot will become mentally ill; after three courses, no matter how smart you were before, you will be completely brain-damaged."

"You..." The Blood Demon's aura surged wildly, clearly enraged. "Die!"

A blood-red whip appeared from the void and lashed down at Yi Shuihan with a violent whistling sound. At the same time, a blood circle surrounded Yi Shuihan and then transformed into a giant blood hand, which was shrinking as if it wanted to crush Yi Shuihan into pieces.

Chapter 113, Beaten Like a Child

"Be careful!" Eileen cried out. She had an indescribable feeling about Yi Shuihan, and she just didn't want to see him die like this.

Kuzan, on the other hand, remained calm and showed no sense of crisis whatsoever. He simply watched quietly without even moving from his position.

The Blood Demon revealed an extremely pleased expression, "Letting you die so easily is too good for you."

"Who did you say died?" The voice came from behind, causing the Blood Demon's expression to stiffen.

How could this be? How did he get behind me? Blood Demon roared madly in his heart, his anger, which had subsided after thinking that Yi Shuihan was dead, was reignited.

"Blood Siphon"

A powerful suction force emanated from the Blood Demon, and Yi Shuihan felt a surge of blood surging within his body, as if it were about to burst forth.

In just a moment, Yi Shuihan's entire body turned rosy due to the congestion of blood.

"Do you think my blood is so easy to control? Go back to where you came from." With a surge of power throughout his body, Yi Shuihan recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the Blood Demon had transformed into a ball of blood and rushed rapidly toward Yi Shuihan, which looked extremely eerie.

In response, Yi Shuihan simply slapped it, splitting the blood in two, but without stopping it; both clumps of blood rushed towards Yi Shuihan simultaneously.

In the blink of an eye, the blood reached Yi Shuihan's body, seeping into his clothes and disappearing.

There was a moment of silence, without any further movement.

"What happened?" Eileen asked in confusion, just as she was about to ask, a loud bang was heard, and countless drops of blood gushed from all over Yi Shuihan's body.

The blood spilled on the ground, slowly crawling in one direction, eventually reforming into a human shape.

The Blood Demon's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but more so one of surprise and uncertainty. He had previously transformed into blood, intending to enter Yi Shuihan's body and then control Yi Shuihan from within, draining him dry.

However, the result was that it was impossible to enter Yi Shuihan's body, something he had never encountered before.

It wasn't that no one could defend against his attack before, but those people either covered their bodies with Armament Haki or had a Devil Fruit that countered it. Never before had he been completely clueless about how it happened, unlike today.

"This ability is truly bizarre." Yi Shuihan felt a lingering fear in his heart. It actually wanted to enter his body. Fortunately, he sealed his pores in time. Otherwise, if the other party had succeeded, he wouldn't know what to do.

"Any other tricks up your sleeve? If not, it's my turn." Yi Shuihan had barely finished speaking when he vanished and appeared in front of the Blood Demon, making his move to the Blood Demon's astonishment.

The Blood Demon's head was blown apart, and fist-sized holes kept appearing on his body. If he hadn't been a Blood-Blood Fruit user, he would be dead by now.

"Why isn't it playing by the rules? It's clearly asking me if I have any more tricks up my sleeve." Blood Demon's mind was completely blank.

Although Yi Shuihan's attack was not fatal, it did not mean it was completely useless. An invisible force was preventing his recovery, making it extremely difficult for him to recover. If this continued, once his recovery ability dropped to a certain level, he would probably just become a pool of blood, beyond any hope of survival.

"No...no...don't...don't hit me anymore," he managed to say with great difficulty. Every time his mouth formed, Yi Shuihan would punch him away. It took him more than ten times to finish a sentence.

However, it was to no avail. Yi Shuihan continued to do as he pleased, only the natural domineering aura in his fists was gone, and he was just hitting without any real power.

"Phew!" Yi Shuihan exhaled and shook his head. "That was fun. It felt much better than hitting a punching bag."

Kuzan, who had been watching from the beginning, twitched at the corner of his mouth. Only someone as strong as an admiral could treat someone like a punching bag.

Eileen was already numb, looking utterly hopeless. The Blood Demon, who was so powerful in her heart, was completely powerless against Yi Shuihan and was even forced to beg for mercy. This scene made her mind buzz.

"Hey, if you keep playing dead, I'll really kill you." He stomped his right foot, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out. "Hmm, should we put it in a bottle for people to admire, or boil it in a pot?"

Upon hearing this, the pool of blood on the ground trembled, then quickly merged together, instantly transforming into a person.

This time, however, seemed different from before. The Blood Demon's size had shrunk by half, making it look like a child.

"Huh? You've become young again? My fist can do this too?" Yi Shuihan, whether intentionally or not, kept gesturing with his fist, causing the Blood Demon's originally scarlet face to turn somewhat pale.

Isn't it all because of you? Although that's what he thought, Blood Demon would never be foolish enough to say it out loud.

The power of the Blood-Blood Fruit comes from a special energy in the blood, which the Blood Demon calls Blood Energy. The Blood Energy contained in the blood of ordinary people is limited, while the more powerful the creature, the more Blood Energy it contains. The Blood Demon's so-called search for blood food is to absorb the Blood Energy of other creatures into its own body as a reserve energy source.

While absorbing blood energy, the Blood Demon directly drains the opponent's blood, then extracts blood energy from the blood. After extracting blood energy, there is basically not much blood left.

Blood energy is extremely important to the Blood Demon. To put it simply, blood energy is equivalent to the Blood Demon's life points. Once the blood energy is depleted, his life ends.

The reason why the Blood Demon has turned into a child is a sign of insufficient blood energy, which can be considered a side effect of the Devil Fruit.

"Say it!"

"say what?"

"Looks like I need to get another beating."

"No, don't hit me! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything."

But what exactly do you want me to say? Blood Demon's face was contorted with misery, and he was even more frustrated than before. He felt like he had the worst luck of his life today, to have encountered such a freak.

"I really don't know what to say. What do you want to know?" Her voice was trembling with tears, and her expression as she looked at Yi Shuihan was full of grievance.

However, this expression looked quite comical on the face of someone who was clearly an older man, making Yi Shuihan almost laugh out loud.

"Tell me, what's the deal with this qualification holder?"

Hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Blood Demon finally felt relieved and began to slowly recount everything he knew.

Chapter 114, This is so succubus-like

"So, this news originally came from the succubus."

“Indeed, although we are all five demons, I can’t see through the succubus among the five of us. She is different from us. She is not a criminal, nor is she a talent cultivated by the World Government. It is impossible to know exactly when she appeared in the valley. She was already here when I came in, and the same is true for the others. It seems that no one entered before her.”

"There are even rumors that she has been here for more than 20 years. I even suspect that she is the person arranged by the World Government to be in charge of matters in the Valley of Life and Death."

When it comes to succubi, the Blood Demon's fear was impossible to hide; he was clearly very wary of them.

Yi Shuihan and Kuzan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same look in each other's eyes: to know everything, they had to find the succubus.

"Mysterious figures are popping up one by one. This is truly the real world, far more complex than what's depicted in anime." He thought to himself, but outwardly remained calm.

After a moment of contemplation, Yi Shuihan slowly said, "Take me to find the succubus."

“If you look for anyone else, you’ll never know where the succubus is, but I’m different. A while ago, I just discovered her brain nest. But are you sure you really want to go find her? She’s not easy to deal with. Let me make this clear: I’m just guiding you; I won’t help you fight her.” The Blood Demon immediately stated.

"You talk too much nonsense, hurry up. With your meager strength, you dare to offer help? You'll only make things worse." Yi Shuihan looked at the Blood Demon with disdain, completely disregarding him.

"I can't stand it?" Blood Demon was furious. He forcibly suppressed the urge to explode and lowered his head to look at the ground. He was afraid that if he continued to look at Yi Shuihan's face, he really wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Pfft!" Eileen was amused by the scene, but quickly covered her mouth. Blood Demon was not someone she could laugh at.

With the Blood Demon leading the way, no one dared to cause trouble this time. When they saw Yi Shuihan and his group from afar, they fled frantically upon seeing the Blood Demon, as if they wished they had an extra leg.

During this time, the Blood Demon gradually recovered. As for the source of blood energy, there were many other creatures here besides humans.

"stop!"

"what happened?"

"It's time to eat."

Blood Demon looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise, not expecting it to be for this reason.

How am I supposed to eat? There's absolutely nothing to eat! Do you expect me to go find something to eat?

Blood Demon's eyes lit up. If Yi Shuihan really did that, he would definitely take the opportunity to escape and then find the other demons to take revenge.

But the inevitable impossibility, in the bewildered eyes of the Blood Demon, the table, chairs, food, and drinks appeared out of thin air in front of Yi Shuihan.

"Apples! It's fruit! And that's... cabbage, and wine... This is..."

"You country bumpkin, what's the big deal about these things?"

Yi Shuihan's gaze, as if looking at a country bumpkin, sobered up the Blood Demon considerably. However, at this moment, his mind was completely occupied by the food on the table, and he was drooling.

Good heavens! This damned man is so extravagant! I haven't had a drink or a piece of fruit in months. Compared to my life, his is simply... simply...

If it weren't for the fact that he was no match for Yi Shuihan, the Blood Demon would have already tried to snatch it.

"Come on, let's eat together."

"Are you calling me?"

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

Blood Demon dazedly took his place, and as the wine went down his throat, a single, glistening tear rolled down his cheek.

Eileen, who was standing nearby, saw this and was also grateful that she had met Yi Shuihan and the others.
