Chapter 672: I Want Him Alive!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The two black dots were so fast that they covered almost 10,000 meters in the blink of an eye.
“Humph! Even the small demons who are under Gui Che 1 want to take a share!”
With the golden fan in his hand, this small demon king looked angry, and he sounded as if Hao Ren were already his prey, untouchable to other demon kings.
Guang! When he was distracted, Hao Ren’s hundun sword energies shot into the sky and summoned three heavenly lightning bolts.
The three heavenly lightning bolts struck toward the small demon king who was hovering in the sky with the golden fan and the other two demon kings who were running toward them swiftly.
“What can you do with these heavenly lightning bolts…” The first small demon king raised his gold fan casually.
This powerful small demon king had attached himself to a big demon king. With his high realm, he had been gifted many dharma treasures, and the golden fan in his hand looked to be a top-tier dharma treasure!
Having cultivated to the mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm, this small demon king was way more powerful than the low-realm small demon kings in the outer sea without dharma treasures, and that was why he showed no regard for the heavenly lightning bolts!
Swoosh… Hao Ren shot out several notes!
The arrogant small demon king raised his finger and created a green round wall.
Boo.
The note broke a huge hole in the translucent green round wall.
Hao Ren used another realm-breaking note!
The following notes traveled through the huge holes.
“Humph! Just dharma notes!” The small demon king waved his golden fan toward the heavenly lightning bolts while focusing his attention on the two demon kings who were flying toward them swiftly.
However, instead of being blown off by his fan, the notes entered his body, and he felt some blockage in the circulation of his nature essence!
Those were the last essence-locking notes that Hao Ren had with him!
Bang! Without the support of his nature essence, the dharma treasure was useless, and the heavenly lightning bolts struck him on the head, shattering him into pieces!
“Go!” Stepping on the golden boat, Hao Ren injected the metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essences into it, and it began to fly toward the west with the traveling speed of the Soul Formation Realm.
When the two small demon kings arriving at the spot of battle, they looked at each other in surprise when they saw the shattered golden fan on the sea.
“Go after him!”
Two black clouds rose beneath them while they chased after the golden boat which was emitting radiant light.
With Lady Zhen’s hairpin, they knew that this cultivator was her guest. In the past, no one would have dared to work against Lady Zhen, but the Immortal Physique would improve the realms of small demon kings in the outer sea if they ate him.
If he were captured by a big demon king of the inner sea, the latter could make an Immortal Pill with his Immortal Physique and become an eternal demon king!
This was why the few big demon kings in the Demon Sea had sent their trusted subordinates to hunt down Hao Ren at the risk of offending Lady Zhen.
If they could gain another eternal demon king under their control, it was worth it even if they displeased Lady Zhen! If that happened, they believed that she wouldn’t dare to declare war on them!
Splas.h.!.+ Riding on the force of the waves of the Demon Sea, the golden boat flew faster.
Hao Ren had thought of flying in the high sky, but the higher he flew, the scarcer the nature essence was, and thus the slower the boat would be.
In contrast, the closer he was to the surface of the Demon Sea, the more abundant the nature essence was, and the faster the boat.
Hao Ren looked back at the two black spots and found that they had gotten even closer. After all, the Demon Sea was the demon kings’ territory, and they could replenish their nature essence faster than Hao Ren, making their speed the same as that of the Soul Formation Realm!
Besides, Hao Ren’s peak Qian-level realm wasn’t his own strength. After a while, the realm would be locked, and he would fall back to top-tier Dui-level with damages to his body!
Bang! Bang!
Hao Ren shot out two waves of sword energies.
Chasing after him, the small two demon kings waved their arms and shattered Hao Ren’s sword energies. Since their realms were higher than Hao Ren’s, they were not afraid of his sword energies!
He could do nothing but flee!
“You two idiots! You can’t even catch up with a peak Qian-level dragon cultivator!”
In the high sky suddenly came a huge yell.
Bang! Bang! Two lightning b.a.l.l.s fell from the high sky and crashed onto the two small demon kings who had been chasing Hao Ren. They tumbled on the sea surface and fell into the water.
Hao Ren looked up and saw a Kun Peng blocking the sky and the ocean!
In the northern ocean, there was a fish called Kun. It was unknown how many thousand kilometers it was in size. When this Kun transformed into a bird, it got the new name, Peng. Its back was thousands of kilometers in length, and its wings covered the sky like ma.s.sive clouds when it opened its wings.
Its body was as big as a giant mountain, one couldn’t see the end of its wings!
“You can’t flee. Stop fighting, and I won’t maul your fles.h.!.+”
Boom! The Demon Sea turned pitch black under its shadow!
Big demon king!
Hao Ren felt like he was choking under the overwhelming suppression!
“Dive!” Hao Ren managed to circulate his nature essence and maneuvered the golden boat into the sea.
The ocean was full of high-level demon beasts, and Hao Ren wouldn’t have entered it if he had another option.
“Hahaha… Do you think I’m afraid of water just because I’m in my bird-form?” Kun Peng crashed into the sea, exploding up a huge wave that was as high as hundreds of meters!
The level 7 and 8 demon beasts were knocked into the high sky like toys.
Kun Peng tuned into its fish-form! Its eyes were as big as hills!
Standing on the boat that was almost 100 meters long, Hao Ren felt like he was a small ant in front of it!
The 40,960 sword energies pierced through water and dashed toward one of its eyes with crackling lightning energy.
“I’ll swallow you and bring you back to my big brother to make pills!”
Booming noises rose from the bottom of the sea, numbing Hao Ren’s head. He almost fainted.
Kun Peng opened its mouth suddenly, and tons of seawater poured into its mouth.
Standing on the golden boat, Hao Ren was sucked in with the water currents like in a storm.
In front of this super powerful force, all attacks were futile!
Swoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, a wave of fire shone from the high sky and lit up the pitch-black ocean bottom.
“Kun Peng, how dare you kill my people!” A furious and shrill voice suppressed Kun Peng.”
“Gui Che! You don’t deserve the Immortal Pill. Get out of here!”
The black fish suddenly rose to the sea surface, and the surging water took Hao Ren to the surface as well and almost made him fall from the golden boat.
On the sea, a cold-looking man in a luxurious robe looked at Kun Peng that was floating on the sea, red demon flames burning on his hands.
With a sharp chin, this man looked to be in his fifties, and his eyes emitted terrifying demonic fires.
“I only killed two small demon kings, and you dare to come after me for that?” Kun Peng spat out a mouthful of seawater into the sky.
The seawater turned into burning water vapor the moment it was shot out. With the huge size of Kun Peng, this beam of water vapor had the power to destroy a city!
Hovering in the sky, the man shot out a flame from his palm and burned up the water vapor completely.
“If you’re smart, get out of here before my big brother gets here!” Kun Peng waved its body and shouted.
The ocean waves surged up with huge booming noises.
“Even if I can’t have the Immortal Pill, I’ll leave a mark on you!” The man shot out a wave of flames from his palm.
The fire grew as big as a mountain while it crashed toward the sea, and its heat instantly evaporated several inches of seawater!
The golden boat immediately created an energy sphere, but it shattered beneath the heat wave.
“You tried to destroy the pill!? Gui Che, you are seeking death!” Seeing the edge of the fire sweeping toward Hao Ren, Kun Peng immediately shot out a sea wave to block the heat wave for Hao Ren. Then, it turned into its huge bird-form and spread out its super huge wings, cras.h.i.+ng toward Gui Che.
The man was forced more than thousands of meters into the air by Kun Peng’s move.
“You’ll die if you don’t fight me with your demonic form!”
Kun Peng released a wave of vicious black light toward Gui Che.
As a big demon king close to the peak realm, he was ecstatic when Hao Ren appeared with his Immortal Physique. Kun Peng could have the chance to advance to an eternal demon king if he took the Immortal Pill which was best when it was made while the cultivator was still alive. After catching Hao Ren, he even wanted to keep Hao Ren alive for a while, so the latter could reach a higher realm before he was made into a pill.
This was why Kun Peng was furious when he saw Gui Che trying to kill Hao Ren when he couldn’t get him.
Under the suppression of Kun Peng, Gui Che finally changed into its demonic form.
Bam! A colorful nine-headed bird!
Its wings were dozens of meters long when spread out, and its eye shot out blinding light!
With a shriek, it spat out nine fire wheels.
While Kun Peng’s black light rose suddenly, the nine fire wheels lit up like nine suns and struck on the huge body of Kun Peng.
“Auch!” Kun Peng screamed, and nine neat colorful marks appeared on its dark grey back.
The nine colorful marks formed an array formation, shrinking Kun Peng’s skin and flesh. The colorful fire burned not only its flesh but its soul as well!
Bang! Bang… Huge noises appeared in this area as if a giant were stomping on the land.
As big as six mountains, a huge black bull crashed forward on the waves with horns as thick as big trees!
Wherever it stepped on, the seawater turned into iron blocks that were as big as millstones and sank into the bottom of the sea. Those clumsy level 6 and level 7 demon beasts got their heads broken by the iron blocks when they weren’t careful.
“My big brother, Taotie, wants to take this Immortal Pill. Do you have any objections?!” The giant bull crashed toward Hao Ren with booming sounds.
“I have an objection!” A crisp voice came from the distance.
With an ancient green lamp in her hand, Duan Yao appeared on the horizon while sitting on a red, three-legged bird.
