Chapter 2401: Ambush by the Demon Spirit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the eyes of Zhou Run and the others, Han Fei seemed to have killed a Demon Spirit with a simple attack.
Yes, they all felt that it was a Demon Spirit, because this was the first time they had seen that thing in the two years since they entered the Demon Domain.
At this moment, Han Fei said, “This is a Demon Spirit. It’s a pure soul body. Their combat method only targets the soul. Just now, they tried to shackle my soul, parasitize my soul, and devour my soul. They’re very powerful. This Demon Spirit’s soul strength is in the late-stage of the Star Transformation Realm, but I think there will definitely be Demon Spirits in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm or even perfected Star Transformation Realm here. Of course, although it’s difficult to kill them, this Demon Spirit seems to contain World Origin and pure and stable ownerless soul power. These two are rare.”
As the saying went, the skilled was bold. Although Han Fei saw the information of the Demon Spirit through the Demon Purification Pot, in fact, even without the Demon Purification Pot, he could still obtain the corresponding information from combat experience.
Therefore, when Zhou Run and the others heard this, they looked solemn.
!!
No wonder the mission didn’t recommend ordinary cultivators to hunt the Demon Spirits. It was because the Demon Spirits were too strong.
If the Demon Spirit wasn’t a special soul-type demonic creature, the partic.i.p.ants should be able to fight it. After all, when everyone learned that in the Demon Domain, demonic creatures were rampant, many people would spontaneously form teams to hunt them.
Having made it to this round, the so-called weak were only relative.
At this moment, Zhou Run and the others looked solemn. “If this Demon Spirit’s soul power is very powerful, there’s no need for us to fight them alone. Our goal is to kill the Demon Spirit so that we can obtain World Origin and the power of the ownerless soul. Although we’re here to gain experience, the time we have is too short. We only have a year. We can’t waste it on tempering ourselves. Instead, we should try our best to hunt more Demon Spirits.”
When Zhou Run heard Han Fei’s explanation, he understood why the fourth hidden mission was to kill the Demon Spirit, because by killing them, they could obtain World Origin and ownerless soul power.
In this way, the strong would always be strong, and the strong would naturally obtain more resources. This was probably the special care the Divine Capital Dynasty gave to the strong among this batch of partic.i.p.ants.
Zhou Run asked, “Brother Fei, what do you think?”
Han Fei shook his head slightly. “Let’s go down first to confirm the number of Demon Spirits. Besides, the Water Essence Qi here is interesting. I want to see if I can find the Water Essence Qi here.”
“Huh?”
Everyone was stunned. Why was Han Fei looking for this? Although the Water Essence Qi was good, it was mainly obtained through collection. The more turbulent the water was, the more Water Essence Qi there would be.
Mu Nan said, “If it’s the Water Essence Qi, I guess it shouldn’t be far away. The tides are surging very quickly underground. They seem to be gathering somewhere. Once a multi-flowing gathering pattern is formed, it will inevitably involve the combination of multiple water veins. The Water Essence Qi will definitely be abundant, and it might even give birth to spiritual treasure of heaven and earth like the Water Quelling Pearl.”
Han Fei nodded slightly. In fact, this kind of place was very rare. To be able to produce such a large amount of Water Essence Qi required the right time, place, and people. Over the years, he had never encountered such a place.
When the Water Essence Qi in a place was rich enough, he might have a way to upgrade the Infinity Water to the level of a G.o.dly weapon. And once the Infinity Water upgraded to the level of a G.o.dly weapon, even if it was a low-quality G.o.dly weapon, it would be at least comparable to a high-quality G.o.dly weapon. After all, the Infinity Water couldn’t be broken.
This Demon Domain gave Han Fei too many surprises.
Han Fei said, “Then let’s try moving forward first.”
The flow of the underground sea was variable and complicated. Fortunately, the place where Han Fei and the others came down happened to have a turbulent current.
After only two hundred seconds, Han Fei and the others encountered a second Demon Spirit.
Han Fei thought for a moment. “Do you all have a soul attack technique?”
Everyone looked at Luo Dafei. The big clans had different inheritances. Although they were all in the late-stage Star Transformation Realm and felt that they were Heavenly Talents, their soul attacks were weak. Otherwise, who would be afraid of this Demon Spirit if they had cultivated a Yang Soul?
And Luo Dafei was the best soul attacker among them.
Luo Dafei could only try it with a black face. Because in a soul fight, the commotion was not big. It was even possible that the battle would be over as soon as the two sides took a look at each other.
Therefore, even Han Fei only heard a woman’s chuckle. Then, a soul killing array seemed to appear, followed by a series of explosions.
Luo Dafei vomited blood from his seven orifices, and the Demon Spirit dispersed. Some ownerless soul power and World Origin entered Luo Dafei’s body, refres.h.i.+ng him.
However, everyone could see that Luo Dafei was injured and his strength showed signs of instability. It seemed that Luo Dafei had lost at least 20% of his strength.
At this moment, they couldn’t help but sigh. When they saw Han Fei kill the Demon Spirit so easily, they thought this thing was easy to deal with. But now it seemed that the f*cking difficulty of killing a Demon Spirit was much higher than they had expected. Even Luo Dafei was no match for it. If they fought a Demon Spirit one on one, even if they could kill the Demon Spirit, they might be heavily injured. If two Demon Spirits appeared, they would have to run.
Zhou Run said, “Brother Fei, if it’s just a Demon Spirit in the late-stage Star Transformation Realm, the six of us together should be able to deal with two without being injured. The limit is about eight. If there are more, even if we can win, we will definitely be heavily injured. If it’s a Demon Spirit in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, we should be able to deal with one without being injured. The limit is three, but all of us will definitely be heavily injured. If it’s a perfected Star Transformation Realm Demon Spirit, we should be able to withstand one at most for a hundred seconds but can’t kill it.”
Zhou Run’s answer was very reasonable. It seemed that they couldn’t fight, but in fact, in the face of the late-stage Star Transformation Realm Demon Spirit, their limit was eight. These words represented Zhou Run’s evaluation of their strength.
Han Fei dared to say that in this hundred-thousand-year compet.i.tion, they were definitely among the top 50,000. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them Heavenly Talents in the Sky Opening Realm.
Han Fei said, “OK. If we meet Demon Spirits again, I’ll leave three or less late-stage Star Transformation Demon Spirits to you. If there are more than three, I’ll solve the excess. If it’s a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm Demon Spirit, try fighting it. If it doesn’t work, leave it to me.”
Han Fei didn’t want to waste time here. Zhou Run and the others actually lacked actual combat experience. Their only advantage was that just like Feng Xingliu, they had a good foundation. Their family resources could be squandered at will.
With a good foundation, it wasn’t a troublesome matter to hone their skills.
Therefore, there was no need to let them slowly hone themselves here. Besides, they had honed themselves enough in the previous two years. What they needed was digestion and absorption.
With Han Fei as their trump card, Zhou Run and the others were much more relaxed.
…
In the underground sea, Han Fei and the others only walked for half a day. They encountered 15 Demon Spirits, most of which were alone. Only twice did they encounter a combination of Demon Spirits. Once was three Demon Spirits, and once was two.
Because there weren’t many of them, Han Fei didn’t intervene. The people of the Avengers couldn’t be too weak, right? If they couldn’t even kill two or three demon spirits, wouldn’t that be nonsense? How much future could such an organization have?
Mu Nan said, “The Water Essence Qi is getting heavier and heavier, mixed with metal sharpness aura. We should be arriving at the place with the most Water Essence Qi soon.”
Zhou Run said, “Everyone, be careful. Based on the situation along the way, it’s not like there’s no reason for the Demon Spirits to appear here. Wherever they appear, there’s either an entrance, a place of turbulence, a special terrain, or an earth vein. It’s hard to say if this place rich in Water Essence Qi is a treasure land or a dangerous place.”
“Puff… Huff…”
Wu Bufan took a puff of his pipe and said leisurely, “What are you afraid of? There’s Brother Fei.”
Han Fei cast a contemptuous look at them. “I know Wushuang from the Capital of Terror. When you reach the Capital of Terror, I don’t mind asking her to arrange some projects for you.”
“Uh?”
Wu Bufan frowned. Wushuang the Demoness? Heh, I don’t want to deal with such a person. I heard that she is quite a ruthless woman.
Suddenly, a fault appeared in the underground sea, and many water currents gathered here, forming a waterfall. Besides, the water here was too heavy, causing a powerful force to directly cover everyone’s perception, so their perception could only cover hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Han Fei said, “Be careful when you go down the waterfall. The water here is cold and freezing. It won’t be fun if we’re ambushed.”
“Yes, Brother Fei!”
They shouted and descended with Han Fei. The tide waterfall here stretched for thousands of kilometers. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a Milky Way Falling from the Nine Heavens.
However, everyone was uncomfortable under the impact of the water vapor. They all opened their soul barriers because they were a little numb from the impact.
However, at the moment when everyone opened the soul barrier, a black shadow appeared in the waterfall. Twelve Demon Spirits squeezed out of the waterfall wave.
