My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

For the first time, panic appeared in General Dragon Whale's voice. In his five hundred years of life, he had never encountered such a situation before. A newly awakened Nascent Soul cultivator was able to suppress a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator in terms of power.

Qin Yu did not explain, because he himself was not clear about it. The improvement brought by the Heaven-Defying Pill far exceeded his expectations. Although his nascent soul had just taken shape, its purity and density far exceeded those of other cultivators of the same level.

The second sword strike was unleashed, this time enhanced by the Blood Fiend skill.

Suddenly, a bloody gash appeared on the head of the Dragon Whale General, stretching from his left eye to his right eye, almost splitting his head in two.

"Impossible, this general is a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator."

"So what if you're only half a step into the Nascent Soul stage? I've killed more than one mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. How much worse are you, a mere half a step into the Nascent Soul stage, than me?"

These words completely changed the Dragon Whale General's expression. He had even killed someone in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Just what kind of monster was this human?

He took a step back, a difficult step, for this was the first time in five hundred years that the Dragon Whale General had retreated on the battlefield.

"Who exactly are you?"

"This young master is Blood Fiend."

When the words "Blood Fiend" reached General Dragon Whale's ears, his mind went blank. The Blood Fiend wanted by the Emperor, the Blood Fiend who destroyed the Xuan Yin Sect, the Blood Fiend who underwent the Heaven-Defying Tribulation in Tian Shu City—it turned out to be this young man before him.

"You are the human who made the Martial Emperor City issue the imperial decree."

"What, even the demon race knows my name?"

"You killed Meng Hanbing, broke the Heavenly Mystery Sect's Spirit Locking Array, and even switched the auction items in the Wanbao Pavilion's secret room. No one in the entire Martial Emperor Continent doesn't know you."

The Dragon Whale General's tone changed, from initial contempt to something indescribable.

"You've gone against Wudi City, so I, the general, also have a grudge against Wudi City."

"What grudge do you have against Wudi City?"

"The spears on the Xuanbing Giant Python were brought here by this general."

These words made Qin Yu pause for a moment. He hadn't expected that the spears stuck in the Xuanbing Giant Python were actually the work of General Dragon Whale.

"You lured the people of Martial Emperor City to attack the Xuanbing Giant Python."

"This general needs its snake gall to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but this general cannot defeat it, so I can only use it as a tool to kill."

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised by the Dragon Whale General's frankness; generally speaking, such things should be kept secret.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because this general wants to make a deal with you."

The word "trade" made Qin Yu raise an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that General Dragon Whale would still want to make a trade after being injured.

"What deal?"

"If you help me kill the Xuanbing Giant Python, its gall bladder will be mine, and everything else will be yours."

Why should I help you?

"Because you are going to the Western Nether Sea, which is the territory of the Demon God Clan. You cannot enter without my pass."

The words "Western Nether Sea" made Qin Yu's fingers tighten on the Nine Dragons Sword. He truly needed to enter the Western Nether Sea to retrieve Yan Mingyu's soul and spirit.

"How did you know I was going to the Western Nether Sea?"

"You saved the Xuanbing Giant Python. The Xuanbing Giant Python is the guardian of the first line of defense of the Demon God Clan. You must have saved it to enter the Western Nether Sea."

General Dragon Whale's deduction was entirely correct; Qin Yu did indeed save the Xuanbing Giant Python so that it could lead the way into the Western Nether Sea.

"I have already signed a contract with the Xuanbing Giant Python, so I don't need your pass."

"So what if you signed the contract? Can it take you into the Western Nether Sea in its current state? It won't be able to recover its fighting strength within ten days, and reinforcements from Martial Emperor City will arrive after ten days."

General Dragon Whale's words silenced Qin Yu. He was right; the Xuanbing Giant Python was indeed incapable of taking him into the Western Nether Sea in its current state.

"You mean I'm giving up the Ice Python and cooperating with you?"

"I'm not asking you to abandon it; I'm asking you to hand it over to me for handling."

The meaning of the two words "deal with" is clear: kill and extract the gallbladder. Qin Yu raised the Nine Dragon Sword again, its blade pointing at the throat of the Dragon Whale General.

"The Mystic Ice Python is my divine pet. You want me to hand over my divine pet for you to kill?"

"It's just a tool to you, but it's the key to advancing to the Nascent Soul stage for me. Why don't you exchange it?"

"I do what makes me happy."

Qin Yu's answer made the Dragon Whale General's face darken. He realized that this human was not playing by the rules at all.

"Are you really going to turn against this general for a snake?"

"I'm not doing this for a snake; I'm doing this for my principles."

The word "principle" startled General Dragon Whale; in his five hundred years among the demon race, this was the first time he had heard a human say such a thing.

"What principles?"

"No one can touch my people, my beloved pets, or my possessions."

These words silenced the Dragon Whale General, but his silence lasted no more than three breaths.

"Then this general will have no choice but to rob it."

The Dragon Whale General's figure disappeared from the spot. His speed at the half-step Nascent Soul stage was more than twice as fast as that of the early Nascent Soul stage. His target was not Qin Yu, but the Xuanbing Giant Python lying on the ice.

Qin Yu reacted even faster. The Nine Dragons Sword drew a golden arc in the air, which just happened to block the Dragon Whale General and the Xuanbing Giant Python.

The two figures clashed on the ice, each intersection accompanied by a loud bang, the ice shattering from the impact of their battle.

When Zhu Zhen fought his way out of the fleet, he had more than a dozen wounds on his body, but there was no sign of retreat in his pig eyes.

"Boss, that fish is too strong."

"I know."

Qin Yu's voice came from the battle circle. He also had several more wounds on his body. The Dragon Whale General's harpoon was more troublesome than he had imagined.

Kui Wu charged into the battle, his bull horns striking the back of the Dragon Whale General, causing the half-step Nascent Soul general to stagger forward two steps.

"Three against one, you humans are so shameless."

"I am not human."

Kui Wu's answer almost made General Dragon Whale laugh in anger. A demon who followed humans said he wasn't human.

"You fought against this general alongside human cultivators, and you still say you're not human?"

"The one I am following is not a human, but my boss."

Little Dragon also joined the battle, his dragon breath spewing down from above, golden flames covering the entire body of the Dragon Whale General.

A large amount of water vapor emanated from the Dragon Whale General's body. As a whale with whale blood, he had a natural ability to resist fire-attribute attacks, but the little dragon's dragon breath was not ordinary fire, but true dragon fire.

"This young dragon has the bloodline of a true dragon."

General Dragon Whale finally realized the seriousness of the situation: a young dragon with the bloodline of a true dragon, a minotaur with the bloodline of a Kui Niu, a fat pig of unknown bloodline, and a human cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage but whose combat power was close to the late Nascent Soul stage.

He can't beat them alone.

"withdraw."

After General Dragon Whale issued the order, the remaining demon warriors began to retreat towards the deep sea. Most of their warships had been sunk by Zhu Zhen, and now only five ships remained operational.

Qin Yu did not give chase; his goal was not to kill the Dragon Whale General, but to save the Xuanbing Giant Python.

"They run pretty fast."

Zhu Zhen crawled out of a pile of broken ice, with several demon spears stuck in his body. The spears were not too deep or too shallow in his fat, making him look like a roasted pig with skewers stuck in it.

Kui Wu went over and helped him pull out the spears. Zhu Zhen groaned twice every time he pulled one out.

"Be gentle, my meat is very tender." (End of Chapter)
