Chapter 674: Target Is a Big Demon King!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Hum! Hum… A big group of green demonic bees was hovering 1,000 meters away.
Duan Yao returned to the back of the three-legged bird and didn’t speak another word to Hao Ren as if she were deep in thought or sulky.
Hao Ren drove the golden boat toward the west following the three-legged bird. After his realm dropped back to top-tier Dui-level, all kinds of nature essences ran through his meridians randomly. In this state, he probably couldn’t even defeat small demon kings.
Hua She with the snake body and Ying Zhao with the horse body stayed beside Duan Yao while they traveled in the water. Duan Yan was now Lady Zhen’s disciple, and her status was much higher than theirs.
Sensing the two big demon kings sweeping across the sea, the small demon kings under the sea all kept low, not daring to show their faces.
Hiss… The golden s.h.i.+eld returned from wherever it had gone, following Hao Ren’s golden boat dully.
Hao Ren glanced at it, not sure how to react to it. He guessed that it was okay since it still came back.
The golden s.h.i.+eld hovered in front of Hao Ren as if it wanted Hao Ren to acknowledge it.
Hao Ren shot out a sword energy, and the golden s.h.i.+eld immediately swallowed it.
After spinning two circles, it followed Hao Ren quietly.
Hao Ren had never thought to rely on the golden s.h.i.+eld, so he didn’t blame it when it refused to help.
To defeat powerful enemies, one had to rely on themselves.
“Well… The Immortal Spirit Island is ahead of us,” Duan Yao said suddenly after a long while of silence.
Hao Ren looked up, and sure enough, there was a small dot in the distance. It was the Immortal Spirit Island, signifying the border between the Demon Sean and East Ocean.
In the one hour that they flew on the vast ocean at high speed, Duan Yao had spoken only these words to Hao Ren.
“Ugh… Thanks a lot,” Hao Ren looked at Duan Yao and said.
Hao Ren had thought that he would be safe in the Demon Sea with Lady Zhen’s purple gold hairpin, not expecting the journey to be dangerous.
Standing on the three-legged bird, Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren coldly and said, “You saved me once from the golden dragons, and I returned the favor to you this time. In the future, we’ll meet as enemies.”
After a pause, she continued, “Your life… is mine.”
Looking at her, Hao Ren didn’t know how to answer her since she seemed very hostile to him.
However, since Duan Yao cultivated in the Demon Sea and he cultivated on land, they probably wouldn’t see each other even if he went to the Demon Sea again.
“You… be careful on your way back,” Hao Ren said.
The side of the Demon Sea was far from its center. Despite the protection of two big demon kings and a green lamp, it was hard to say if other big demon kings would return for revenge.
“It’s none of your business!” Pale-faced, Duan Yao shouted back at him before turning toward the direction of the center.
The green demonic bees were still hovering in the distance. Duan Yao lifted the green lamp and shot out a wave of green light, and dozens of demonic bees that even level 10 demon beasts didn’t dare to touch dropped into the sea.
A wave of green light entered the green lamp, and the flame in it grew several inches.
The rest of the demonic bees fled.
As Tao Wu’s spies, these bees were equivalent to small demon kings and could move freely in the Demon Sea. When these demonic souls were taken into the green lamp, it meant that Duan Yao had killed dozens of small demon kings with one attack.
With a cold expression, she looked moody as she flew away on the three-legged bird.
Hao Ren’s appearance had attracted several big demon kings, and the impatient ones fought with each other over Hao Ren and became enemies.
Tao Wu, the No.5 Demon King in the Demon Sea, was severely hurt this time. Not only was his demonic soul injured, but the demonic soul of Kun Peng, his little brother, had been taken away as well.
Gui Che and the nine-tailed fox whose strengths were next to Tao Wu’s had also been seriously wounded. It seemed that the balance of forces which had existed in the Demons Sea for thousands of years had been broken in one day.
Zi Tie, the little brother of the No 4 Demon King Tao Tie, was beaten half dead by Tao Wu. Now that Tao Wu lost a significant portion of his demonic soul, it was a perfect chance for Tao Tie to retaliate!
Tao Wu was no match for Tao Tie, but he had some connection with Qi Qiong, the No. 7 Demon King…
The hidden waves were surging up in the Demon Sea!
Meanwhile, Lady Zhen was leaning on a luxurious lounge chair and writing small, exquisite characters on a jade slip with a little ink brush.
The big demon kings were messing with her by attacking Hao Ren.
“I’m a generous person and will not be angry with you, but you must beg for my forgiveness by each offering a sea territory of 50,000 square kilometers! Well… If you don’t agree to this condition, I’ll get angry and send troops.” Lady Zhen touched her lips with her finger and continued writing after some consideration.
She would wait for a while before sending out the jade slips since Tao Tie and Tao Wu, the two old enemies, would surely battle each other in a couple of days. Also, other big demon kings would get involved a well.
“I’ll settle accounts with them when they are done fighting…” she thought.
She raised her hand and yawned, thinking it was almost time for Duan Yao to return.
“After all, it wouldn’t even take this long if she is seeing off her lover…”
Meanwhile, on the edge of the Demon Sea, Hao Ren looked at Duan Yao who was das.h.i.+ng away and inhaled the nature essence of the Demon Sea before flying toward the Immortal Spirit Island on the golden boat.
“Hehehe… The chance has finally come!” A shadow shot out of the Demon King.
This demon king looked like a vague shadow that was wearing a red robe, and the sharp horns on his head made him look like a small ghost.
Despite his insignificant look, he was a big demon king! Good at disguises, he had followed Hao Ren in the sea, and even Hua She, Ying Zhao, and the three-legged bird hadn’t noticed him!
“Go!” Hao Ren released all his nature essence, and the golden boat dashed forward quickly.
“Hehehe…” The demon king laughed while his big shadowy hands extended indefinitely like a dharma treasure toward Hao Ren.
Hurriedly, Hao Ren shot out 640 sword energies, but they went through his palms as if the hands were shadows!
A chilling sensation got close to Hao Ren! If the hands caught him, he wouldn’t be able to escape with his current realm!
This demon king had followed Hao Ren to the edge of the Demon Sea and launched the sneak attack after Duan Yao and the two big demon kings left.
“Realm-breaking note!”
Hao Ren took out three realm-breaking notes from his necklace and launched them all!
However, this demon king’s body wasn’t an illusion created by array formations, and Hao Ren’s dharma notes were useless on him. However, the dharma notes made him pause for half a second since he thought they were dharma notes that could suppress him!
Bang!
At this critical time, the golden s.h.i.+eld shot out a golden light from above.
Mingled with the bright energy of the supreme spiritual treasure, the golden light shot onto the ghost-like demon king with power thousands of times greater than the Sun!
White smoke rose from the demon king’s shoulder, and Hao Ren flew over to the Immortal Spirit Island on the purple gold hairpin while he paused.
Crack!
Furious, the demon king shot out a black shadow, intending to kill Hao Ren instead of catching him alive!
The golden s.h.i.+eld shot out golden lights from its edges, trying to block the black shadow.
However, the wide range of golden lights couldn’t block this black shadow!
Ding!
Suddenly, a transparent energy sphere that was engraved with all kinds of complicated patterns appeared.
The black shadow turned into traces of black smoke when it touched this energy sphere.
Frustrated, the big demon king tried to grab Hao Ren, but half of his body was cut off when he crashed onto the energy sphere!
The golden s.h.i.+eld flew out of the energy sphere to Hao Ren’s side without meeting any obstacle.
With his red robe half burned, the big demon king stood on the other side of the Immortal Spirit Island and bared his chilling white teeth at Hao Ren.
The energy sphere returned to its invisible state, and the Immortal Spirit Island was surrounded by nothing but a vast ocean to the naked eye.
Hao Ren looked at the demon king and shot out a wave of sword energies which pierced the body of the demon king.
Looking furious, the demon king couldn’t rush over, and he vented his rage by tearing two demon beasts that were 1,000 meters away into pieces with his ghost hands.
Hao Ren checked himself and found that he got a scratch on his back close to his shoulder. If he hadn’t accelerated the purple gold hairpin, he probably would have been caught or killed.
One day, he would come back to avenge himself. Hao Ren shot another wave of sword energies toward the demon king before flying toward the distant land.
The demon kings in the Demon Sea were horrifyingly powerful. They were confined in the Demon Sea and fought with each other because a super powerful array formation engulfed the entire Demon Sea.
This array formation could block the small and big demon kings as well as level 9 and level 10 demon beasts.
The small demon kings outside of the Demon Sea had escaped when they were level 7 and 8 demon beasts and had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulations outside of the Demon Sea.
“What kind of big array formation could engulf the entire Demon Sea? The center of the array formation should be outside of the Demon Sea, right?” Hao Ren thought as he took out and ground a detox pill before putting it on the wound in his back. The elixir pills in his necklace had almost run out, but the round Penglai Immortal Token was still inside.
Hao Ren looked back at the vast ocean and thought of Duan Yao who now lived in the Demon Sea which was full of dangers.
When they meet again, they would be enemies.
Hao Ren shook his head slightly and accelerated the purple gold hairpin. At his current realm, he couldn’t venture into the Demon Sea again until he grew much stronger!
After he practiced the Mystic Water Sword Techniques to the top level, he would be able to battle with the big demon kings!
