At this moment, everything was quiet.
The battle has concluded between the two Gokudo Path Inheritors. The Demonic Priest’s successor was severely wounded. Two of the three Tri-Elements swords were destroyed, and he was nailed to the stone wall, just as he had nailed the Unparalleled War Spirit to the stone wall.
But there was something wrong with the script…
The scattered cultivators were stunned for a moment and immediately talked to their companions or allies.
The greatest support of the Li family was the Unparalleled War Spirit. She was the ancestor of the Li family and an ancestral celestial-like soldier. Only by holding this blade, can the Li family stop and kill anyone who stood in their way. Gods and Buddha were no exceptions.
However, from beginning to end, the Unparalleled War Spirit did not do much…
“What’s going on, the Li family descendant is so powerful?”
“He defeated the Demonic Priest’s successor on his own.”
“Not only did he defeat the Demonic Priest’s successor, he even wrecked the God of War to the point where he could not fight back.”
“He must be a qi cultivation prodigy met once-in-a-thousand years.”
“No, it’s his hand that’s weird.”
In the field, Li Xianyu looked around, looking for powerful sources of qi. He stared at the two old monsters.
The two baby-faced old monster’s faces changed, as they retreated in panic. Li Xianyu could wreck the God of War, which meant that he could wreck them too. The surging majestic qi he emanated was enough to illustrate his power.
Originally, things went well. They cooperated with the Ancient Gods Clan to kill the God of Apes, then torture the Unparalleled War Spirit to get information of the Great Deities Palace. They were not afraid of offending Baoze. They were twin brothers and sisters, after the age of 12, their bodies stopped developing and they were abandoned by their parents. It was a scattered cultivator who adopted them.
Their childhood experiences and the dislike from outsiders have nurtured their grumpy character. They thrived on massacre. Why would they be afraid of Baoze?
Currently, the Li family descendant was unstoppable. The two old monsters looked at each other and decided to retreat. But Li Xianyu was not going to let them go. He roared as he pursued the two.
“Don’t chase after them. Go and kill the remnant members of the Ancient Gods Clan.” Liu Kongchao jumped anxiously. “Is your brain fried, Li Xianyu?”
The vanguard team’s survivors retreated to a distance, carefully protecting the God of Apes and several wounded members. Liu Kongchao was also among them, acting as cannon fodder for the God of Apes in the first place. He saw the God of War pull out the sword of qi to save Li Peiyun and hurriedly reminded Li Xianyu.
Unexpectedly, this cry attracted Li Xianyu’s attention. Liu Kongchao’s heart sank at that time. When Li Xianyu glanced at him with his blood-red eyes without pupils, it seemed to come from the abyss, and he felt great malice.
Sure enough, Li Xianyu approached with a ferocious smile. Looking at him, he looked as if he was going to tear the Baoze team members apart.
“Li Xianyu, that’s enough.” Great-Grandma stood up for everyone and reprimanded.
“He won’t pay attention to you no matter how you cry out.” Slime cackled eerily. “One who is trapped in the state of Devour has no rationality and no fear. Only continuous devouring can satisfy him and make him feel assured. When the chaotic and complicated qi breaks down his internal organs and destroys his vitality, I will be able to be the master. Not everyone has a firm will like Wangchen. Hahaha, I am free!”
Great-Grandma was neither shocked nor furious, as she snorted coldly. “Do you know the function of the Black Water Spirit Bead?”
Slime said, “It’s just a weak dragon pearl, I don’t care what it does.”
Great-Grandma pursed her mouth and said, “Like your state of Gluttony, it can devour essence and blood. You devour others, but it devours the host.”
Slime was shocked. “What do you mean?”
Great-Grandma did not answer, but pouted and inhaled deeply.
The running Li Xianyu suddenly staggered. He steadied, and continued to charge.
Great-Grandma took another breath, and he staggered again. Although his legs had turned soft, the qi in his body was still pushing him forward. He had rushed in front of the Baoze members.
Great-Grandma frowned. Absorbing through the air had a limited effect on suction. She grabbed Li Xianyu by the neck and pulled him over. She inhaled a deep breath, mouth to mouth.
Li Xianyu subconsciously struggled madly, as his cheeks quickly shriveled. His exposed skin withered and clung to the bones. The process took only five seconds, and Li Xianyu became a semi-dry body.
“What happened? What’s going on?”
Slime shouted in horror, and he felt that Li Xianyu had the exact amount of qi in his body to stay alive. His essence and blood were disintegrating at full speed. Every cell in his body groaned painfully and his internal organs failed. In an instant, he was on the verge of death.
The essence and blood was ingested by the Black Water Spirit Bead in his core.
“What the hell are you? What exactly are you?” Slime cried furiously.
Great-Grandma who was glowing and charming now, threw Li Xianyu on the ground casually. She wiped her mouth, and looked down at Slime. “You don’t need to know what I am. You just need to know that the Black Water Spirit Bead has integrated with his flesh and blood. If I am not willing, no one can get it out. Even if you succeed in occupying his body, you can forget about freedom. All your life, you will be my…”
Great-Grandma unzipped her jacket coolly, as her clothes fluttered. Two bloodstained characters printed on her T-shirt read: “Grandson”.
Slime was speechless.
It remained silent for a moment then let out a maniacal roar, “I don’t accept this, I can’t accept this! It took me so much effort to escape, I…” He let out some tears.
Great-Grandma stepped on it with her feet. “Such is life. You have been through it for 80 years. After another hundred years, you can wait for the next host. I have a lot of experience in this aspect. Time should be meaningless to you. It’s a long way to go.”
Slime was unable to control Li Xianyu. When the host fainted, it lost its ability to move.
“Wangchen, it’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!” Slime cursed the Demonic Priest madly.
Everyone in Baoze heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone had witnessed Li Xianyu’s overwhelming power just now. If he had charged over and massacred them, they would have died for naught.
The severely wounded Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked at Great-grandma, and secretly bit on her lips.
Whir! Whir!
The unique sounds of a propeller whirring in the air rang from far to near, as three helicopters approached. At the same time, there were two snipers from the low mountain, as well as screams. Looking towards the soung, the two baby-face monsters who had escaped earlier had been caught.
Two large blue-lit nets covered them, and then a team of employees in Baoze’s unique combat uniforms rushed over. They pierced nine steel nails into their joints and suppressed them swiftly.
Five light explosion-proof vehicles slowly drove into the valley, followed by a group of heavily armed employees. Baoze’s team of 100 members has arrived.
“Here comes Baoze’s men!”
The scattered cultivators exclaimed and subconsciously scampered all over the place.
Boom!
The roar of the heavy sniper gun reverberated in the air. The scattered cultivators who moved died immediately. Afterall, not everyone practised having a powerful physical body. Only masters like the God of War could use qi to block sniper bullets.
The gunmen on the helicopter opened fire and bullets swept out of the circle, to deter scattered cultivators.
“Everyone stay where they are. Go back to the company with us for investigations. We shoot to kill anyone who moves!” A middle-aged man stood on an explosion-proof car and roared with a loudspeaker.
A few scattered cultivators were unwilling to surrender. They dodged the machine gun, and then they dodged the sniper’s aim swiftly. By the side of the explosion-proof car, two employees unhurriedly fired a one-man missile in that direction. The missile blew up but it was not gunpowder, but blinding lightning.
The scattered cultivators let out a pained hum and twitched all over. The sniper guns on the helicopter shot one after another, and they were taken away.
These teams not only had firearms, they also have specially designed spiritual devices to combat demon descendants. In terms of wealth and resources, how could scattered cultivators compare to Baoze who was incredibly wealthy?
Chen Yu saw Fu Shan’s forehead locked by an infrared light, and he knew he was the same. He hurriedly raised his hands and declared, “I’m Chen Yu, one of our own.”
In fact, with his strength, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave. But it was not necessary for him to leave.
“I would gain credit by handing you over to Baoze,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “I have accumulated some points intermittently over the years. Fu Shan, who ranks 28th on the demon descendants list, should be worth a lot of points. I wonder if I can get enough points to exchange a wallet for my daughter.”
People from major families can also help Baoze do some tasks in exchange for points, but only half the points would be given to people who were not employees.
Fu Shan snorted coldly.
Chen Yu egged her on. “You’re not escaping?”
Fu Shan replied nonchalantly, “I would be detained for ten days or half a month at most, and the maximum for three months. If I run away, I would be a wanted criminal. Do you think I’m stupid?”
Demon Entrapment Rings were used on scattered cultivators and they were taken away in batches.
The middle-aged man jumped out of the explosion-proof car and strode towards them, taking large steps. He saw the dying God of Apes and the vanguard team who had suffered heavy casualties and shouted loudly, “How did this happen? Why did this happen?”
According to the company’s estimates, the armed forces deployed were sufficient to cope with the mission. The vanguard team would be on the frontline, and the armed personnel at the rear were ready to stand by. After all, the task is to fight for the Demonic Priest’s treasure and to capture the Demonic Priest’s successor, rather than to destroy the bunch of scattered cultivators.
So the vanguard team led by the God of Apes should be enough to cope with the mission, even if they were to encounter the remaining members of the Ancient Gods Clan. At the worst, they will last until the armed men arrive.
However, the distress message received by the support team was that the vanguard team was attacked by the masses. The middle-aged man was in charge of the Changsha Branch. Originally, he did not participate in the mission. But because he received such a distress message, he came directly to rescue them.
Although there are always accidents in missions and it was inevitable that there are accidents in every mission, but this mishap obviously exceeded Baoze’s estimate. If he had come a step later, they would be missing one of Baoze’s ten gods.
This did not make sense. Normally, Baoze’s evaluation will not have such a big deviation.
The few members of the vanguard team did not speak but everyone silently glanced at the fainted Li Xianyu.
Great-Grandma took a step across, protecting her great-grandson like a mother hen protecting her chick. “Pfft, don’t even think about pinning the blame on my great-grandson.”
The middle-aged man was confused.
