Chapter 217 Grandpa, do you think it's too late for me to beg for mercy now?

The bottom of the Shunyuan River.

The riverbed was covered with silt, and the aquatic plants swayed haphazardly.

Following the guidance of the Water-Seeking and Demon-Seeking Technique, Mu Yang ventured deeper downstream.

Soon, a small, bluish-gray hill came into view.

It was a huge figure with most of its body buried in the silt, and the height of the body protruding from the silt was several feet.

It has a huge shell with layers of textures. The shell is bluish-gray and uneven, with almost no luster on the surface.

If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a giant rock at the bottom of a river.

It is none other than the overlord of the Shunyuan River—the Green Snail Demon.

As if sensing someone approaching, the Green Snail Demon, which had been quietly burying its body in the mud, suddenly began to tremble.

A smooth, thick body, with a neck and head that were almost indistinguishable, emerged from the snail shell.

A pair of bright green eyes gleamed with a cold, eerie light in the dark riverbed.

"People from the Demon Slayer Bureau?"

The Green Snail Demon recognized Mu Yang's clothes at a glance.

With its extensive knowledge, it even recognized the bronze token at Mu Yang's waist at a glance.

That was something Mu Yang showed to Xie Xu and the others, and then casually hung it on his waist.

"A mere first-class demon-hunting captain dares to go into the water alone? I don't know whether to call you stupid or just plain dumb!"

The Green Snail Demon's muffled, mocking words reverberated through the water.

"Oh well, it's been a long time since I've had any meat, so today is a good day to have some!"

As it spoke, the Green Snail Demon's dull shell suddenly trembled, and its surface instantly shone with a cold, jade-like light.

Demon Blood Spell - Torrent Arrow!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Dozens of high-pressure water jets shot out from the crevices of the snail shell, heading straight for Muyang.

The water arrow was very fast, much faster than the water blade used by a mid-stage sixth-tier mirage serpent.

If it were an ordinary fifth-level martial artist, they would probably be pierced through in the blink of an eye.

Even an ordinary sixth-level martial artist could be injured if they are not careful.

"Did they break through...?"

Mu Yang murmured to himself.

According to intelligence, the Green Snail Demon should have been a late-stage sixth-order demon, but now it seems to have reached the perfect sixth-order level.

Even though they are not good at warfare, their offensive power should not be underestimated.

"Whoosh!"

Faced with the incoming water arrows, Mu Yang neither dodged nor evaded, but calmly drew the black gold four-sided mace from his waist, which he had not used in battle for a long time.

After that night of forging and inscription, the black gold four-sided mace has been completely transformed.

I just don't know how effective it will be.

Now that we're facing a sixth-tier demon, it's a good time to give it a try.

"Whoosh—!"

The dark mace, wielded with immense force by Mu Yang, rippled like a dragon, creating waves.

With a casual swing, the black gold four-sided mace shattered all the swift water arrows unleashed by the Green Snail Demon, turning them into scattered water droplets.

"Oh? I misjudged him, he's a sixth-tier one!" The Green Snail Demon exclaimed in surprise as Mu Yang easily blocked her attack.

"No wonder you dared to come down and face me alone. However, that move was just a greeting. Next..."

The Green Snail Demon seemed to have been alone for a while, and started babbling on and on again.

But before it could finish speaking, the water beneath Mu Yang's feet suddenly surged, like a jet of water, pushing Mu Yang rapidly toward the Green Snail Demon.

"Stop babbling! Take this first!"

Mu Yang strode across the water, swinging his matte black, four-sided mace in a semi-circle, which slammed heavily into the head of the Green Snail Demon.

"Holy crap! Young people these days really have no sense of sportsmanship!"

Seeing the powerful blow coming, the Green Snail Demon immediately cursed angrily, then its slippery body suddenly shrank back into its huge snail shell.

"clang--!!!"

The black, four-sided mace slammed solidly into the snail shell, producing a loud thud.

Even the mud beneath the Green Snail Demon rippled like shockwaves under the transmission of this immense force.

"The shell is quite hard."

Mu Yang glanced at the shell of the Green Snail Demon. At the point where the Black Gold Four-sided Mace struck, the mud layer covering the shell was completely shattered, but the bluish-gray shell itself was not seriously damaged, leaving only a white mark.

Clearly, the black gold four-sided mace, which was only inscribed with a basic forging inscription, could not break through the shell of the Green Snail Demon.

However, Mu Yang was not disappointed.

After all, the Green Snail Demon is most famous for its amazing defense.

Moreover, Mu Yang was only using his physical strength to swing the mace.

"Hahahahaha!"

The Green Snail Demon's mocking voice rang out from inside the snail shell: "Boy, you think you can ambush your Green Snail Grandpa? Don't you know that your Green Snail Grandpa is most famous for his quick reflexes and hard shell!"

"Don't even mention a mere early-stage sixth-tier martial artist like you. Even if I were to face an attack from several perfect sixth-tier martial artists, I, your Grandpa Qingluo, could easily withstand it!"

Feeling that the force emanating from the snail shell was only a few million jin, the Green Snail Demon remained completely calm.

Judging from Mu Yang's demeanor just now, it thought the other party was a person of extraordinary strength.

Unexpectedly, despite its impressive stance, it didn't exert much strength. Its mere ten million jin of power wasn't even enough to tickle it, let alone break through its defenses.

That's utterly delusional!

"What? Out of ideas? Thinking of giving up?"

Seeing that Mu Yang not only remained silent but also tucked the black gold four-sided mace back into its sheath at his waist, the Green Snail Demon assumed he had given up and her mocking voice grew even louder: "Let me tell you, it's too late to regret it now!"

As she spoke, the demonic energy around the Green Snail Demon surged like a thick fog, and her body, which had been buried in the mud, began to tremble slightly.

Demon Blood Spell - High-Speed Spiral!

This is a technique that uses extremely rapid self-rotation to transform a hard snail shell into a weapon with terrifying lethality.

The Azure Snail Demon once used this move to fight its way out from several sixth-level perfected martial artists, and even had the feat of crushing a small mountain at the bottom of a river.

It is also its most powerful killing move!

"Eat your grandpa's one-hit high-speed spiral... Huh?"

However, before the Green Snail Demon could finish its shout, the snail shell it was about to spin suddenly stopped.

Why can't it turn?

The Green Snail Demon was somewhat bewildered.

Using the snail shell's sensory abilities, it then discovered that a long, slender hand with five fingers had somehow grasped the protrusion on the Green Snail Demon's shell.

The owner of that hand was none other than Mu Yang, whom he had just mocked.

At this moment, Mu Yang's face was no longer expressionless, but his lips were slightly parted in a grin, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Mu Yang's voice reached the ears of the Green Snail Demon.

Although the sound was not loud, it sounded like a great bell at this moment, making the Green Snail Demon's head buzz.

Am I still half asleep?

How come I saw a human break my high-speed spiral with their bare hands?

I must have slept too long and am still not fully awake!

Hahaha, yes, I must be dreaming, I'm still half asleep...

"Bang--!!"

Before the Green Snail Demon could convince itself, a loud bang was heard.

Immediately afterwards...

"Snap—!!"

A series of sounds, as if something was breaking, rang out.
