Chapter 223 Mysterious Water Condensation
The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 223, Mysterious Water Condensing Light. We look forward to your visit.
Now they realized that by following the female cultivator here, they had walked right into a trap and trespassed into the private territory of a senior demon cultivator!
This could have far more serious consequences than provoking a human Nascent Soul cultivator!
Human cultivators might still have some consideration for kinship and sect rules, but demon cultivators... especially those whose backgrounds are unknown, often act in a more direct and violent manner!
A chilling sense of despair instantly gripped their minds. Their previous greed and scheming vanished into boundless terror.
"A demon cultivator in human form?!" Upon hearing these four words, Huang Youzi's mind went blank, and his hands and feet instantly turned ice-cold.
He suddenly remembered all the illogical things about the female cultivator—forming her core alone in a remote place in the outer sea, being protected by a rare wind-attribute beast right after forming her core, and her body seemed to be a legacy of ancient talismanic arts... If a demon cultivator in human form was standing behind her, then everything would make sense!
It's even possible that the female cultivator was actually this demon cultivator's... concubine or favorite slave!
In the open sea, it is not uncommon for powerful demon cultivators to abduct or subdue beautiful female human cultivators as their personal possessions; it is just an open secret.
Believing he had uncovered the truth, Master Minghu had no more hope left, only the thought of escaping.
He noticed that the "transformed demon cultivator" behind the other party had never shown himself, but instead commanded three level-six spirit beasts to attack. This further confirmed his suspicions—the other party simply thought that the two of them were too weak to bother with their own efforts! And this might be their only chance to escape alive!
"Fellow Daoist Huang! Fight to the death! Split up, and whoever can escape is one more person!" True Man Minghu shouted fiercely, a resolute glint in his eyes, and quickly transmitted his voice to Huang Youzi. At this point, what were centuries of friendship or ancient legacies compared to his own life?
Huang Youzi was a decisive man. Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded, a ruthless glint in his eyes. While struggling to control the earthen-yellow shield in front of him and a silver, nimble flying hook magic weapon to defend against the attacks and bites of the azure dragon shadows around him, he was also rapidly calculating.
Although the azure dragon shadow was not a physical entity, each of its attacks was powerful and heavy, and it also carried a strange ability to bind and absorb spiritual energy, causing his magic power to be consumed extremely quickly. If the fight continued, he would surely die!
He gritted his teeth, no longer hesitating, and suddenly patted the storage bag at his waist. A talisman, azure blue with what looked like flowing water on its surface and radiating strong spiritual energy, appeared in his hand.
It was his most treasured life-saving item—an extremely rare high-level water escape talisman!
He had used one on this island last time, and he didn't expect to have to use another one this time. He felt like this island was his nemesis, and he secretly vowed never to come to this sea area again.
"escape!"
Huang Youzi let out a low shout, and his inner magic power surged into the talisman. The talisman burst into flames with a "poof," transforming into a dense ball of azure water light that instantly enveloped his entire body. It looked as if he was about to turn into an imperceptible water shadow and disappear into the surrounding steam rising from the battle.
However, just as this blue light was about to completely dissipate—
"hold head high--!"
From the sea below, a scornful roar came from the Azure Dragon. Near its head on its back, there were three scales of a deeper color. One of them suddenly shone brightly, and a crystal-clear blue beam of light shot out and hit the blue water shadow that was about to dissipate with perfect accuracy!
"Pop!"
A soft sound, like a bubble bursting, rang out. The azure water shadow trembled violently, its escape light instantly interrupted and dissipated, revealing Huang Youzi, who staggered out with a look of horror on his face.
The invaluable high-level water escape talisman in his hand had been completely reduced to ashes, and he had only managed to escape less than ten feet away!
"How is this possible?! My Water Escape Talisman..." Huang Youzi could hardly believe his eyes.
His escape talisman had never failed him, yet today it was so easily interrupted by a dragon.
In the distance, Luo Ming, who had concealed his presence and aura, was observing the battle with great interest, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Trying to use water escape techniques against a blue dragon that is skilled in water-based supernatural powers, whose bloodline is becoming increasingly pure, and who can be called the king of the water? It's simply showing off one's limited skills in front of an expert.
After advancing to the next level, the Azure Dragon's control over water-based spiritual energy greatly improved. The "Mysterious Water Condensation Light" was one of its newly awakened divine abilities, specifically designed to break through various water-based escape techniques and concealment methods.
Huang Youzi's face was ashen. He realized that he was surrounded by a thick white mist mixed with pure water and wood spiritual energy.
The mist churned, within which a massive azure dragon shadow darted about, its terrifying pressure and killing intent firmly locked onto him. He hurriedly summoned back his tortoise-shell shield and silver hook magic weapon, tightly protecting himself, but despair had already settled in his heart.
This tiger is a rare mutated demon beast. Its soul power, wind attribute, and cold yin qualities would be of great benefit to the Wind Fox Beast, which is also skilled in speed and stealth and has the talent to devour soul power. It might even cause the Wind Fox Beast to undergo some kind of positive mutation or breakthrough.
At this moment, the Nether Tiger Immortal was in a state of "human-tiger unity" with his Nether Tiger, their auras closely connected, which greatly increased the Nether Tiger's flight speed, leaving streaks of afterimages in the air, making it exceptionally agile.
With his uncanny speed and perfect coordination with the Nether Tiger, he repeatedly and narrowly avoided the scorching fire clouds spewed by the Fat Sun Bird, which covered an extremely wide area, while also having to be wary of the threat from the Black Tortoise below.
He dared not land, nor fly too high to become a sitting duck for the Zhiyang bird. He could only frantically maneuver around at mid-altitude, desperately searching for an opportunity to break through and escape.
The Xuan Turtle below seemed to grow impatient as it watched the "little insect" playing hide-and-seek with the Zhiyang Bird in the sky, too afraid to come down. It raised its enormous head slightly, its earthen-yellow eyes locking onto the Minghu Zhenren, who was constantly shifting positions in the air, and opened its abyss-like maw once more.
"roar--!"
A deep roar accompanied by terrifying lightning converged. Three more "Geomagnetic Elemental Lightning" bolts, enveloped in earthy-yellow spiritual light and crackling with golden arcs of electricity, were unleashed, flashing and leaping through the air as they hurtled towards True Person Nether Tiger at incredible speed!
"Again?" Master Minghu was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he screamed in terror.
In his mind, such a powerful and elementally restraining lightning technique must be a great divine power that consumes one's life force. It was already astonishing that the Xuan Turtle could unleash it once in a short period of time, so how could it possibly use it repeatedly? This completely overturned his understanding!
