Chapter 512 - 397: Even Golden Core Experts Can Be Trapped to Death (Part 2)
"This Celestial-burning Green Flame is your greatest reliance, do you really think this Monarch wouldn’t be prepared for it?"
The secret technique was easily broken, and Zui Jiu’s offensive suddenly became disorganized.
Previously evenly matched, now it was apparent that Zui Jiu was being heavily suppressed by the opponent.
The problem with the strongest combat power affected the morale of the Golden Core experts significantly.
Seeing this, Zheng Yi hurriedly spoke up: "Elders, the urgent task is to first eliminate Huiyue Demon Venerable."
The sword cultivator attacking Huiyue Demon Venerable laughed and cursed: "You, a mere Crystal Stage cultivator, dare to give orders to me."
Though he said that, his flying sword became even more fierce.
Huiyue Demon Venerable, who could only resist with difficulty, found his situation becoming even more precarious.
"The little friend speaks rightly, kill one while we can. You two, hurry up. How can it take so long to deal with an early-stage Golden Core?"
"If you two can’t manage it, then quickly switch out."
Huiyue Demon Venerable’s blood-red eyes glared stubbornly at Zheng Yi.
It’s him again, this damned human, who had tricked him at the crucial moment.
Though the situation was dire, Huiyue Demon Venerable could still barely hold on.
His cultivation was indeed inferior to other Golden Core cultivators.
But his cultivation technique, the "Nether Moon Technique," was top-tier, even among the Nether Spirit Race and the entire Canglan Realm.
This was a technique created by an Enlightenment Master in the Canglan Realm, whose power needs no further elaboration.
Otherwise, with his mediocre talent, Huiyue Demon Venerable would never have reached the Golden Core Stage.
Therefore, even if two Golden Core experts could make Huiyue Demon Venerable suffer, killing him would still be a challenge.
"Demon Monarch, why do you struggle so? Early or late, death is still death, rebirth sooner benefits everyone."
"Do you hope that your kin will sacrifice greatly to save an incompetent like you?"
"If it were me, I’d definitely not think my life more precious than others."
Zheng Yi, seeing Huiyue Demon Venerable insist, grew anxious and started to taunt Huiyue Demon Venerable, disturbing his mind.
Though he was far from reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage, he knew that though Zui Jiu was now at a disadvantage, he wouldn’t face major issues in the short term.
He’s a Divinity Transformation expert, bound to have numerous trump cards.
But the immediate problem was that the Divinity Transformation expert’s disadvantage had dampened the morale of their Golden Core experts.
If they couldn’t find a suitable breakthrough quickly, they might experience unexpected losses.
If that happened, the battle might collapse instantly, which Zheng Yi did not wish to see.
So they must swiftly break through Huiyue Demon Venerable, the weakest one.
This was because Huiyue Demon Venerable, lured by him, carelessly fell into a trap.
He’s already meat in the mouth, ready to be consumed at any moment.
Otherwise, Zheng Yi would propose they all immediately retreat from this dangerous place.
Crossing a realm difference, Zheng Yi experienced it firsthand, knowing that in the face of absolute power, any strategy or trap is just an illusion.
As long as Resentment Book Demon Venerable wishes, he could wipe out these Golden Core cultivators with a mere flick.
Now, they could still make a fight of it.
Huiyue Demon Venerable, already terrified, was further provoked by Zheng Yi: "Damn ant, don’t think you’re safe now. If I want to kill you, do you think anyone can stop me?"
Zheng Yi raised his head, looking cocky: "Come on then, I’m right here waiting."
"Last time we fought one-on-one, you couldn’t kill me. Now, with my kin and expert elders here, do you dream of acting out before them? Utter nonsense."
"I wonder how you, Huiyue Demon Venerable, have the face to keep living. If I ended up as cowardly as you, I’d have severed my veins long ago."
"But you, Demon Venerable, likely can’t do that, given you have the courage no more than an ant."
"I casually staged an empty city ploy, and you, a supposed Golden Core expert, dared not act against a few Qi Refining stage youngsters, truly laughable."
Zheng Yi’s remarks were deliberately harsh, hitting home each time, leaving Huiyue Demon Venerable furious.
Huiyue Demon Venerable was almost driven mad, and even the Human Race cultivators felt uneasy.
"Damn, how’s this guy’s mouth so vicious?"
"Thankfully he didn’t target me, or my heart might have exploded from anger."
"This kind only capable of spouting nonsense is most annoying. If he were a Nether Spirit Race cultivator, it’d be great, just kill him, and no more noise."
Huiyue Demon Venerable’s rationality was shattered again by Zheng Yi.
Earlier, tricked by Zheng Yi, he accidentally dashed into the Human Race’s trap.
Realizing the unfavorable situation, Huiyue Demon Venerable barely managed to regain composure to handle the dangerous situation.
Yet, after a few taunting words from Zheng Yi, he nearly used the wrong technique and went fire and demonic.
"I must kill you, you trash!" shouted Huiyue Demon Venerable crazily, ignoring the flying swords piercing towards him, intent on charging to slaughter Zheng Yi.
This vile human is merely a Crystal Stage ant.
One move!
Just one move would utterly destroy him.
Profound Void Claw!
Huiyue Demon Venerable executed his ultimate skill, determined to kill Zheng Yi to vent his anger.
"With me here, you dare harm the younger Human Race? Do you think we’re all dead?"
A Human Race cultivator hurled a magical treasure resembling a seven-colored Spirit Stone, directly hitting Huiyue Demon Venerable.
This diverted both him and his attack.
Unprepared, Huiyue Demon Venerable coughed blood: "Damn it, don’t interfere..."
His words weren’t finished when a flying sword pierced his chest, chilling his heart.
In his final moments, Huiyue Demon Venerable stared intently at Zheng Yi.
Now he understood, it was all deliberate by this human before him.
But regret came too late.
Behind him, a huge seven-colored stone followed, crashing into Huiyue Demon Venerable.
His body instantly vanished without a trace, evidently dead beyond revival.
Seeing his death, not only the Nether Spirit Race’s Golden Core experts but even Resentment Book Demon Monarch’s face dramatically changed.
Azure Moon Flame Emperor’s son was killed in front of them.
Even if this was Huiyue Demon Venerable’s own doing, Azure Moon Flame Emperor would not let them go.
"Kill them, avenge Huiyue, or none of us will survive."
Resentment Book Demon Monarch regretted deeply, wishing he had sent Huiyue Demon Venerable to the rear immediately.
Actually, the Demon Monarch’s approach wasn’t wrong under normal circumstances.
Despite Huiyue Demon Venerable’s weakness, he was still Golden Core stage, not easily killed.
Yet, who would’ve guessed, Huiyue Demon Venerable lost his mind after mere provocation from that little human, jumping into the trap laid for him.
He even used his hidden ace intended to ambush Zui Jiu at the crucial moment.
The aim was to make Zui Jiu cautious enough to save that damned waste.
Yet Zui Jiu, that wretched fellow, seemed to have anticipated his intentions.
Despite his strongest secret technique being broken, Zui Jiu relentlessly attacked, leaving him no chance to save anyone.
Now with Huiyue’s death, they’re completely without escape.
"Fight these vile humans to the end, slaughter them all, maybe there’s still a chance."
"Prepare to die!" The desperate Nether Spirit Race cultivators began a life-and-death struggle.
