Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 501 I am the Hunter, You are the Prey

Compared with the land, the Nanhong flood basin is much more vast.

Led by the Nanlong Palace, it has six dragon sons, thirteen dragon grandsons, and hundreds of generals comparable to Baiyujing. The demon soldiers under its command are spread throughout the entire water area, covering many aquatic creatures, forming a dense network.

Plus the magic array that has been built over many years.

Trying to invade the Dragon Palace in the water without being discovered is extremely difficult.

"Huh! Take a break!"

A gigantic crab monster lay across the stone surface, its shell thick and rough, and its ferocious and terrifying claws only slightly lowered, causing the bottom of the water to shake continuously.

It took on a human form, with a dark red face full of frustration.

As a great demon general of Baiyujing under the command of the Dragon Palace, he obeyed the orders of the Fifth Prince and guarded an area for ten thousand years. His majesty was beyond words, so he had never suffered such a loss.

The troops were dispatched to the water, but they didn't even have a chance to take action. Dozens of lives were lost and the battle ended in failure.

Even though their number is not large, you should know that these are elite soldiers gathered from many aquatic creatures, and among them there are many great monsters comparable to the late stage of Return to Void or even the perfect realm.

Even with the combined efforts of the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Young Master, they could only gather a number of three thousand.

How could such a shameful and embarrassing thing happen to the Dragon Palace?

"In my opinion, it would be better to report to the other princes and take this opportunity to fight back!" The dark red crab demon general took out the wine jug and took a big gulp.

"My Lord, be careful with your words!"

The deputy general glanced around vigilantly and found that hundreds of soldiers were quickly dispersing and patrolling closely. Then he retracted his gaze and said with a wry smile: "The fourth master is in a lot of trouble now. The fifth prince also feels sorry for us brothers and doesn't want to use our lives to make up for the trouble caused by the fourth master."

"..."

The crab demon general glanced at it silently and said lightly: "You are good at talking."

After saying that, it threw the wine jug to the deputy general, and took him away from the many soldiers and generals, approaching an underwater gorge.

"But to me, this matter is really a bit uncertain. The Nanyang Sect suffered a great disaster, which led to the reversal of the situation in Nanhong. The Dragon Palace finally gained the upper hand. Now the other party has obviously accumulated for many years and has the potential to rise again."

"Dragon sons and grandsons are naturally extremely noble, but after so many years of comfort, they have somewhat forgotten the grievances they once experienced."

"We should have a real fight to completely suppress the Nanyang Sect. We should also teach the Nanhong Seven Sons a lesson and test whether they have any intention of rebellion now."

After hearing the words of the great demon general, the deputy general could only smile awkwardly.

In this kind of matter, not to mention them, even the Fifth Prince cannot make the decision.

Leading troops to attack the precious land of Nanyang, it would be fine if the Seven Sons of Nanhong surrendered, but if they suddenly become tough, the fight would even affect the rest of the Dragon Palace.

What will you get in the end?
The Seven Sons of Nanhong were originally defending one side and had no impact on the Dragon Palace.

Just for those few precious pieces of land? The water race may not be able to use that thing. For example, the princes, just by blood and body, can be comparable to the cultivators of the Hedao realm, so why waste the effort?

It's a hard bone that's so hard to chew that it might even choke you to death, and there's no meat on it. How idle must the Dragon Palace be to be willing to provoke them?

"Ho!"

The general of the crab demon could see the deputy general's thoughts. He just felt that he had lost face in front of his subordinates, so he said a few words to make up for it: "It's only because you have the protection of the Seven Sons of Nanhong. Otherwise, with those vassals and a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps in the treasure land, you are qualified to stand in front of me and brag about the Nanyang Immortal Sect."

"We have to convene a meeting of seven sons to announce to Hongze that those old guys are getting more and more confused as they grow older... They really want to make me laugh to death, and they don't mind being embarrassed."

Finally skipped the topic just now.

The deputy general's smile was also more sincere. As elite soldiers under the Fifth Prince, they were truly qualified to look down on a fake immortal sect. "Those Taoists can protect him for a while, but they can't protect him forever. Besides, the seven sects themselves are not as strong as iron. Don't worry, my lord. Maybe we can cut off the head of a sect master with our own hands."

"Don't worry, I won't hold back." The crab demon general sneered, took out the wine jug again and drank it all, then smashed the jade jug casually on the reef.

It is a great honor to be able to crush the head of a sect leader with your own hands.

"But it's just a joke. Under the protection of several Taoists, he didn't dare to show up, let alone now. I guess he is hiding in the treasure land of Nanyang and doesn't plan to come out."

The crab demon general looked towards the underwater cliff with some regret.

At this moment, its eyes suddenly focused.

"..."

I saw a tall figure on the top of the cliff with his back to this place, his black shirt fluttering in the green waves, and he looked down at the bottom of the cliff calmly.

He was like a traveler passing by, his mind completely absorbed in the bizarre beauty of the waters, not caring that a giant Baiyujing monster was approaching from behind.

This situation can occur anywhere in Nanhong, but never underwater.

"audacious in the extreme!"

The deputy general took a heavy step forward, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, and shouted angrily: "You are blind, and this is a place you can come to?!"

The deep roar was deafening, but the young man in black shirt seemed not to hear it.

The crab demon general had an indifferent expression, his eyes slightly focused. At such a close distance, he could easily see through the cultivator's breath-concealing technique.

After feeling the breath of the late stage of Return to Void.

However, it did not show any contemptuous expression, but just slowly stood still.

As a great demon general guarding an area, he has been in charge of the area without any problems for so many years and still holds the position firmly. Although he can joke around, his steadiness is impeccable when it comes to doing serious work.

As for things like ridicule and mockery, you can wait until you have crushed the other person's head before doing so.

"I'll give you a chance to explain yourself."

After the Crab Demon General said this in a deep voice, his right arm glowed with light and turned into a pair of uneven red scissors.

At the same time, demonic power surged into its eyes, and it concentrated its attention on trying to see through the breath-concealing method and then further explore the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

However, no matter how you look at it, the young man seems to be playing tricks and is looking for death.

With its strength, killing the opponent would be effortless.

The crab monster really couldn't understand who gave this idiot the courage to turn his back on him so brazenly!

"..."

Shen Yi finally turned around, but there was no expression of joy or anger on her fair face.

He just stared at the Crab Demon General quietly, then tapped his chin lightly, as if to indicate something.

In an instant, a pair of strong arms quietly stretched out from the crab monster's armpits, and then suddenly locked its shoulders. At the same time, the palm of another person had already covered the back of its head, and rich golden patterns instantly enveloped it.

"who!"

The crab demon general instinctively wanted to raise the dark red scissors, but was held down by the third pair of arms!
"Enemy attack!" The deputy general reacted very quickly and shouted loudly, but before he could finish his words, the fourth figure smashed his head with a punch.

Before dying, it finally smelled a faint scent of blood coming through the restriction.

boom--

The deputy general's skull exploded, but the crab demon general did not lose his composure. He sacrificed his lifeblood without hesitation, and hard shells grew on his skin, and his body began to swell instantly!
It was obvious that this group of monks came prepared.

It did not act arrogantly. Instead, the first thing it considered was to make a big enough noise to intimidate the enemy and then look for another opportunity.

"Have you forgotten that I am a great demon?" Along with the roar, the demonic aura of the Crab Demon General became much stronger again.

A group of cultivators actually dared to get close to a monster as big as Bai Yujing.

This wrong strategy will leave them with everlasting regret.

However, what frightened it was that even though it had used all its strength to mobilize its demon body, no matter whether it wanted to transform into its original form or swing the huge red scissors refined from the crab claws and comparable to Taoist soldiers, all of them were forcibly pressed back.

As a famous demon general, it was horrified to find that it was actually imprisoned in the same place.

"you!"

The crab monster instinctively looked back, only to be met with four faces with hideous and evil smiles, and each one was more familiar than the last.

"What a coincidence, me too."

Wu Jun showed his sharp white teeth and suddenly tightened the golden thread, almost crushing the crab monster's hard shell.

"We all are." The remaining three figures pulled exaggerated arcs at the corners of their lips and let out low and terrifying chuckling sounds, like the whispers of evil spirits. They were wrapped in the green waves, as if they were going to drown the crab monster in them.

Not only are they monsters, but they are all aquatic creatures.

More importantly, the cultivation level of any one of them is no weaker than that of the crab monster, and their methods of concealing their breath are strange. They are like dead objects like stones, and they can silently approach each other from behind.

"You...you dare to surrender to the enemy..."

The crab demon's voice finally trembled, as if he had seen something incredible.

But with so many factors combined, there is only one possible outcome.

Click!Click!
The water elephant stomped on its heart with a bang. Wu Jun swung his fists and smashed the crab monster's back. The fish monster and the flesh-winged silkworm knocked it to the ground, and generously poured the great power contained in their bodies onto the crab monster's hard shell.

The golden thread became tighter and tighter. The crab demon's eyes widened, and he felt suffocated. He uttered a helpless whine: "..."

However, even the right to moan was taken away by Wu Jun's punch into its neck.

Bright red blood plasma spurted out, forcing the crab monster to calm down.

Four against one, and it’s a sneak attack.

The crab monster couldn't think of any chance of survival.

What it couldn't understand was when it had offended such a ruthless person, who had planned so carefully to kill it on the road when it was rushing back to defend its territory.

However, no one is willing to explain it.

The crab monster could only stare at the young man standing alone. He wanted to curse him, to beg for mercy, but no sound came out. The other party seemed too lazy to even glance at him. His indifference and calmness made people feel cold.

boom! boom! boom!
Even after its entire hard-shelled body was beaten to pieces, its eyes were still wide open, as if bulging out of their sockets, filled with resentment and resentment.

A great demon general who guards the water area would die in such a miserable way.

Even now, it doesn't know the other party's identity.

"..."

From beginning to end, Shen Yi stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, golden threads dancing on his fingertips, watching this silent farce with cold eyes.

The turbid blood mist floated in the water and was absorbed by the ring just before it touched the black shirt.

By the time all the golden threads on his fingertips were retracted and the camouflage formation was removed, the clear water bottom had already turned into a dark red dead zone, like a big mouth ready to devour people, emitting a strong fishy stench.

Regardless of victory or defeat, Shen Yi is indeed qualified to fight against such a powerful demon from Baiyujing.

But every time I enter the hunting state.

He seemed like a different person. He no longer cared about the damage to the stone, nor would he put himself in any danger.

The only thing left in my mind is the calculation of gains and losses.

Like a real hunter.

And Ryugu is just the prey.

[Killed the Green Fin Carp Monster in the Return to Void Realm, with a total lifespan of 170,000 years. The remaining lifespan is 38,000 years, absorbed completely]

These elite soldiers and generals are the foundation that the Dragon Palace attaches great importance to. The price of their rich experience is that their remaining lifespan is relatively short.

It may seem insignificant, but when there are hundreds of similar tips, it becomes extremely terrifying.

[Remaining demon lifespan: 3.23 million years]

Shen Yi put all the densely packed floating corpses into the ring, and then turned the four suppressing stones into spiritual light and retracted them between his eyebrows.

He performed the Breath-Containing Technique again, and then his long gown spread out like ink, and the whole person disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

Only the clear blue waters were left.

……

The dark bottom of the water.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged and did not waste any time. While condensing the demon's essence and reshaping the crab demon's soul, he also immersed his soul into the ring and began to classify the corpses of the hundreds of elite aquatic soldiers.

With the information provided by Ke Shisan, he also had a rough understanding of the power of Dragon Palace.

Soldiers led by such a great demon general.

In fact, they are formed by the joint support of several aquatic tribes in order to fight for a position in the water.

This situation actually provided convenience for Shen Yi.

After all... he can really "gather the strength of the entire clan" in the physical sense.

These hundreds of demon soldiers are roughly composed of the strongest ones from three major aquatic tribes.

After simple classification.

Apart from the fact that their number is extremely small and their strength is relatively weak, a group of fish monsters are there just to make up the numbers. It is highly unlikely that they can be promoted to the level of a supreme Dao Pillar.

Shen Yi quickly sculpted four stone guardians.

Logically speaking, for someone like Wu Jun who raised the stone from the Return to Void level to the Baiyujing level, it was actually a loss. After all, forcibly improving the opponent's demon soul grade would definitely consume more demon essence.

But that’s not how the account is calculated.

What Shen Yi lacks most now is time and manpower. He must earn as much demon life as possible before the Dragon Palace reacts.

A total of one hundred and seventeen demon origins were used up.

[Remaining demon lifespan: 1.79 million years]

Such a huge price is rewarded with something really great.

Four stone guardians, including the crab demon general and the three-headed snake demon in the fairy cave, stood silently behind him.

The two powerful monsters that were forcibly condensed, although they also had the cultivation level of Bai Yujing, their auras were slightly weak, and it was obvious that they had only reached the level of a city.

But this is normal. After all, not every aquatic creature has the strength to independently support a dragon grandson like the golden-patterned turtle monster.

But it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, it's only used this time. After you get out, you'll be treated like a palace filler.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi put them all between his eyebrows.

He took out the jade slip that Yan Xianqing had given him earlier.

An appetizer could not satisfy his appetite.

Shen Yi's purpose of coming here was very simple.

He wanted to take advantage of this hard-earned opportunity... and complete the journey back to the void in one go.
