This Taoist priest is so unprofessional!

When Wang Xiaoer's blood is added to the water, it doesn't simply taste fishy or sweet.

It was a vast and boundless pure yang energy, refined to its extreme, and it also carried a mysterious yet real power of destiny!

For this water demon, trapped at the bottom of the cold water for hundreds of years, this drop of blood was like a top-level feast laid out before a gluttonous beast that had been starving for a thousand years.

That temptation transcended instinct and surpassed reason; it was a fatal attraction that was simply impossible to resist!

"boom--!!!"

Without any warning, a huge splash of water, more than ten meters in diameter, suddenly erupted in the very center of Moon Bay!

A massive black shadow, accompanied by a cloud of water droplets, burst through the water at a speed that completely defied the laws of physics!

Its goal is very clear.

Heading straight for the water's edge, to the source of endless deliciousness—Wang Xiaoer!

This time, with the help of the faint light leaking from the edge of the rune array, Zhang Chen and A Yue finally saw its full appearance.

It was a humanoid monster that was over two meters tall.

Its body exhibited the edema characteristic of a drowned person, its skin as pale as if it had been soaked in formaldehyde for a hundred years, covered with mud-like lividity and slippery moss.

What's most terrifying are its disproportionately long arms and the five foot-long, black iron hooks at the ends of its arms!

Countless black aquatic plants, like disgusting blood vessels, coiled around its body. The resentment and malevolent energy, so dense as to materialize, formed rings of visible black smoke that enveloped it.

A century-old water curse!

In its eyes, no, in its entire existence, there was only one emotion left.

greedy!

Unbridled greed!

In its world, only Wang Xiaoer's figure, exuding a deadly allure, remained.

The water sprite burst forth from the water at such a speed that a huge shadow instantly enveloped the shore.

Just as its swollen, pale foot slammed heavily onto the soft mud on the shore.

Hidden behind the boulder, Zhang Chen opened his eyes wide and let out a roar with all his might!

"Let's do it!"

The command was like flipping a switch to detonate something!

Dozens of talismans that had been lying in ambush along the shore burst forth with the most dazzling light of their lives at the same moment!

"Boom!"

The first to launch an attack were Zhang Chen's five "Five Thunder Talismans," which he had kept hidden away!

Five thick, silver-white lightning bolts tore through the void, carrying a majestic heavenly might and emitting deafening thunder. They danced wildly from five different directions, bombarding the Water Fiend's body!

"Certainly!"

Immediately afterwards, the spirit-locking talismans pasted on the back of the tree trunk transformed into dozens of golden rune chains, which, like living things, wrapped around the water demon from all directions, tightly binding its limbs and body!

"Awesome!"

More fire talismans were activated at the same time, and a raging sea of ​​fire was created out of thin air, instantly turning the place where the water demon stood into a scorched earth. The orange-red flames frantically licked its water-soaked body!

Almost at the same instant the rune array was activated.

A-Yue's cold voice followed, carrying a hint of bloodthirsty pleasure.

"go."

The highly poisonous Gu creature, lurking in the grass and soil, has received its master's final command!

The emerald green "Emerald Widow Spider" leaped up and landed precisely on the back of Shui Sha's neck, its two sharp fangs piercing in without hesitation!

The "Golden Centipede with Golden Stripes on its Back" climbed up the Water Demon's calves like a ghost, leaving countless tiny wounds on its body with its densely packed segments, injecting deadly poison into them!

And that wriggling mass of "corpse-dissolving sludge" stuck directly to the Water Demon's chest, beginning to frantically corrode its body!

In an instant, thunder roared! Explosions erupted! Flames roared! The hissing of the Gu worms filled the air!

All the sounds mingled together, echoing throughout the silent night sky!

This usually tranquil lakeside has, at this moment, transformed into the most intense battlefield!

The Water Demon was caught off guard by this sudden, devastating, saturation-like attack.

Finally, a deafening scream rang out from its constantly opening and closing mouth!

"roar--!!!"

The sound was filled with endless pain and anger, and the sound waves turned into a tangible shockwave, causing the surrounding trees to sway wildly.

Its body emitted a terrifying "sizzling" sound amidst the raging electric snakes and roaring flames, like rotting flesh being roasted on an iron plate, with large amounts of foul-smelling black smoke billowing out.

Those deadly poisons were relentlessly destroying the core of its malevolent energy!

However, the ferocity and madness of this century-old water evil far exceeded everyone's imagination!

It actually withstood all the attacks! It allowed the lightning to blast charred holes in its body! It even allowed the deadly venomous insects to ravage its body!

Despite being covered in poison and flames, its claws, gleaming with black light, remained steadfast and relentlessly clawed at Wang Xiaoer, who was right in front of it!

Its goal, from beginning to end, has always been the same!

It actually wanted to drag Wang Xiaoer down with it before it was completely annihilated by this inescapable net! Even if it only got a bite, it would die without regrets!

"Hold on! This guy's gone mad! He wants to take Xiao Er down with him!"

Behind the boulder, Zhang Chen's face was as white as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He held the hand seals tightly, squeezing out the last bit of magic power in his body and injecting it into the entire rune array, trying to slow down the water demon's advance.

The golden chains creaked under the immense force of the water demon, and cracks spread across them.

A-Yue's expression was equally grave. She could feel that her most precious Gu worms were being devoured by the violent evil energy within Shui Sha's body, and their life force was rapidly draining away.

But she did not retract her order; her gaze only grew colder.

All attacks could only slow down its movements, but could not completely stop it before it could reach Wang Xiaoer!

fast!

too fast!

The enormous claw, wreathed in black resentment and charred black by lightning and fire, tore through the air, bringing with it a nauseating stench, and was already in front of Wang Xiaoer.

The cold glint of his claws reflected on his young face.

It was less than an inch away from his neck.

Life and death hang by a thread!

At this moment, Zhang Chen and A Yue's hearts sank to the bottom.

At this critical moment, Wang Xiaoer, who was both the prey and the bait, not only did not retreat a single step, but he didn't even blink.

Facing the sharp claws that were about to pierce his throat, he instead revealed an incredibly radiant smile.

He looked at the empty space of the Water Fiend, now only filled with greed, and whispered something in a voice only they could hear.

You've been tricked.
