Chapter 193 : I'm Sorry to Disappoint You, I'm a Fire Dragon
Hong Niang's spider silk at the peak of Divine Transformation stage was more than a hundred times stronger than before, almost impervious to any flame.
The small area of water trapped by the giant net was boiling from the fierce fire, with the fish's skin almost turning red. They were flapping about wildly, so anxious that they started speaking human language, "It's burning! It's burning!"
"It hurts! It hurts!"
"You despicable, cunning humans, stop it right now! Once I get out, I'll eat you first—"
"Boom!"
Hmm, the fire still wasn't strong enough. Chu Sang directly turned the medium fire to high heat. If they couldn't be clear-simmered, they'd be braised.
"Wuwu, grandmother, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please let us go quickly..."
As the water temperature rose higher and higher, with bubbles appearing on the surface, the demon beasts never imagined that this fire could be so fierce and even toxic!
Demon beasts of their level wouldn't be cooked like real fish in boiling water. What truly caused them enormous damage was the terrifying flame of the young woman. After being burned, they were flipping on their backs, unable to struggle, scooped out of the water by the fishing net.
Without water, the fish group had lost their most advantageous battlefield, thoroughly becoming salted fish on a chopping board.
There were so many demon beasts that everyone present looked at the huge shadow suspended in the air, extremely afraid that the fishing net made of unknown material might accidentally break.
Obviously, their worries were unnecessary; the giant net remained as sturdy as new.
"What material is this magical tool made of? It's so sturdy. I want to get some too," Zhao Yun said eagerly.
"You see that big red and black spider next to Little Junior Sister? It's the spider silk she produces. You can try to seduce her with your male charm; maybe she'll reward you with some," Mu Chihuai kindly suggested.
Zhao Yun instinctively looked over to where he pointed, and his eyes met a huge spider. Even though the upper body had a beautiful human form, those eight legs were not to be trifled with. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Then he saw the spider also glance in his direction with obvious interest, even licking her red lips.
He instantly got goosebumps, shuddering as he rubbed his arms, "Are you sure it's male charm, not my flesh?"
"It's all the same anyway," Mu Chihuai looked at him. "Your charm is just so-so. Maybe offering fresh, delicious flesh would interest her more."
"......"
Damn, that flesh is not this flesh.
Nascent Soul stage demon beasts could barely be said to have met the most basic conditions for shape-shifting. In fact, due to their low-grade bloodlines, most demon beasts, without other opportunities or breakthroughs to higher realms, would likely struggle to successfully shape-shift in their entire lives.
Usually, only demon beasts with noble bloodlines could shape-shift.
That electric eel's strength and status were not low, and the intelligence it displayed was enough to prove it was a high-level demon beast. Seeing the situation, it finally couldn't hold back anymore. It transformed into human form and snarled angrily, "You bunch of despicable, hateful humans, go to hell!"
This electric eel had always been cautious, feeling something was amiss, and wasn't easily tricked by the scheme. Seeing his underlings about to be stewed into delicious fish soup by these damned human cultivators, he gathered demonic power in his palm and angrily launched an attack.
Gu Chang'an and Wu Wo were busy channeling spiritual power into the giant net and couldn't spare hands to deal with this Divine Transformation stage electric eel.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, we'll help!"
Shang Ziling gave an order, leading the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect forward to help.
Lou Qing was boiling with excitement, "Senior Brother, let's go help too!"
Before she could finish speaking, Mo Qingchen had already gone to help. She was stunned for a moment, not expecting Senior Brother to be so concerned about the Lingqing Sect people. She immediately led the other Tianyan Sect disciples to follow, joining forces to resist this demon beast's attack.
"As fellow disciples of immortal sects, when our comrades are in crisis, we other sects naturally cannot stand idly by. Injured disciples stay on the shore to recover. All other disciples who can fight, come up and help slay this demon beast!"
"Although we disciples of the Alchemy Sect aren't strong in combat, we've brought out all the magical tools and spirit tools we can use. You sword cultivators focus on attacking at the front, don't worry about the rear... Any weapons damaged in Dongchong County, our Alchemy Sect will repair and forge for free!"
"And us from the Beast Taming Sect!"
Disciples from the Eight Trigrams Sect, Phantom Sound Sect, Pill Condensation Sect, and others, seeing this scene, could hardly contain their excitement. Although they were generally weak with little combat power, their desire to contribute was no less than others. Those who could help all went up to assist.
With the disciples entangling that Demon King at the front, Gu Chang'an and Wu Wo successfully transferred all the demon beasts from the entire lake to the shore. With a loud "Boom!" that seemed to shake heaven and earth, thousands upon thousands of salted fish rolled onto the shore, desperately flapping their tails trying to run back to the water. The Eight Trigrams Sect disciples had already set up formations; once these demon beasts reached the shore, they would never be able to return to the water.
"Don't rush, we've dealt with your underlings. Now it's your turn."
Chu Sang looked at the Demon King with his ferocious, gnashing teeth and smiled slightly.
"Heh, you lot are no match for me!"
Lightning power surged in the man's hands. The water domain was his home turf, giving him a huge advantage. His Divine Transformation stage cultivation could reach the legendary Unity stage in this water domain!
And the strongest in their team was only at early Divine Transformation stage.
Even if the sect disciples had greater numbers, in the face of realm suppression, the number of people wouldn't have any amplifying effect on the battle. It would only allow the Demon King to feast more.
"Third Senior Brother, legend has it that dragons can ascend to heaven, enter the earth, and dive into the sea. You should be quite good at swimming, right?"
Mu Changqing, "...But, I'm a fire dragon."
He hated water demons the most, especially water battles like this. He'd rather hide far away.
"Third Senior Brother, I have to say, look at this little fish demon daring to speak so presumptuously above you. Who are you? You're a noble divine beast! The descendant of the former Demon Emperor! Such a small Demon King should be bowing to you, yet he dares to be so arrogant and act as a lackey. Can you stand for this?"
Mu Changqing hadn't felt much before. His temper as a divine beast had long been worn down by imprisonment, and he had grown accustomed to being a salted fish. But now, Little Junior Sister's words successfully made him displeased. A mere little fish demon dared to run wild above him? And speak so presumptuously! Where did he think he was putting the noble dragon race!
Oh, he had suppressed his aura. Little Junior Sister said the trump card shouldn't be flashed around carelessly, or it would lose its effectiveness.
"If Third Senior Brother were at the Unity stage befitting a Demon Emperor now, you'd have slapped this salted fish flying with one claw. Would we need to rack our brains and go to such lengths to find a way?" Chu Sang said with disappointment. "Commanding wind and rain, doing as you please, imagine how cool Third Senior Brother would be like that. Mm! I believe I can see Third Senior Brother break through to Unity stage in three years, right?" She looked at him with wide, sparkling eyes.
"......"
Mu Changqing had to admit he had been flattered to death and provoked.
He smiled, "Perhaps it won't take that long."
