Chapter 684 - 401: A Great Demon’s Pomp
"So you’re saying I just need to hold Yu Qing off for a while?"
After hearing Zou Feng’s plan, Jiang Wanzhao was understandably doubtful.
Although she had witnessed Zou Feng’s incredible "single shot," the problem was that she had been ambushed by two Golden Core Realm Tribulation Cultivators at the time and couldn’t use her full strength.
If Yu Qing pursued them here alone, she was confident she wouldn’t necessarily lose in a one-on-one fight.
So why wasn’t she the main force trying to kill Yu Qing, with Zou Feng providing support?
Zou Feng knew that Jiang Wanzhao had a competitive nature and the typical pride of a True Disciple, so he realized he had to explain things clearly.
"Senior Sister Jiang, according to our intelligence, Yu Qing is stronger than Luo Gang. I don’t doubt you’d have the upper hand in a one-on-one fight, but the question is, how long would it take to finish her off completely?"
Jiang Wanzhao was suddenly at a loss for words.
After all, defeating someone and killing them were two completely different things.
If Yu Qing realized she was outmatched and decided to flee with all her might, Jiang Wanzhao truly couldn’t guarantee she could stop her.
And even if she could eventually kill her, there was no telling how long it would take.
The key was, they didn’t have much time.
The moment a battle broke out, powerful Tribulation Cultivators from the area would likely swarm to their location.
At that point, it would no longer be a question of whether they could kill Yu Qing, but whether they could escape.
"You... are you sure you can kill her in one strike?" Jiang Wanzhao asked, looking at Zou Feng with a complicated expression.
Zou Feng said thoughtfully, "I can’t say it’s a hundred percent, but I’m eighty percent confident!"
A Dao Foundation Realm Cultivator claiming to have an eighty percent chance of killing a Golden Core Realm Great Demon in a single blow sounded utterly ridiculous.
Any cultivator who didn’t know the specifics would probably laugh their head off.
But Zou Feng was genuinely confident. After all, his strength had surged since the last time he fired the Superconducting Poison Magnet Cannon.
Not to mention, the evolved Xiaolv could now provide higher-quality "bullets."
"Alright, then I’ll help you!" Jiang Wanzhao stopped hesitating and made her decision.
With their discussion concluded, Zou Feng immediately selected a "fortuitous location" for Yu Qing.
He then immediately started an awkward dance with Su Qingyu to construct an enhanced version of the Xuanwu Poison Domain.
As Zou Feng’s Lifebound Gu Insect, Xiaolv didn’t even need an order, joining the "dance extravaganza" almost instinctively.
With its participation, the Xuanwu Poison Domain would naturally become even more powerful.
Only Jiang Wanzhao stood to the side, watching the two people and one insect’s awkward dance with a completely speechless expression.
She was beginning to seriously doubt whether she had made a terrible mistake.
’Kill a Golden Core Realm Great Demon in one hit? This preparation phase looks more like children playing around. But I’m already in too deep. We have to at least try. If the one-hit kill fails, we can all just start running again and pray for the best.’
It was worth noting that the Xuanwu Poison Domain Zou Feng was creating was currently compressed into an extremely small area, not yet fully unleashed on a large scale.
This, of course, was to avoid making Yu Qing suspicious and putting her on guard prematurely.
Once the demon entered the right range, they would have the Poison Domain fully erupt and have Jiang Wanzhao charge in to tie her down. Only then could he fire the Superconducting Poison Magnet Cannon smoothly.
The concealed Xuanwu Poison Domain was soon ready. After another quarter of an hour passed, just as Zou Feng had predicted, the expected pursuers arrived...
In the distant sky, more than twenty figures gradually appeared, flying through the air on various Magical Treasures.
As these twenty-odd figures drew closer, a dense demonic aura washed over the area, literally kicking up a strong, demonic wind.
There was no doubt about it; these approaching cultivators were all from the Demon Race.
And the woman surrounded by the twenty-plus demons, her body constantly radiating a pure white light, had to be the clam demon Yu Qing who had been tracking him, even though Zou Feng had never met her before.
The demonic aura this demon exuded was clearly different from the others around her; it actually felt as pleasant as a spring breeze.
Looking at her face, she possessed a beauty with deep-set features and an exotic air.
Her eyes, in particular, constantly shifted in color, and the longer one looked, the easier it was to get lost in them.
As Poison Cultivators themselves, Zou Feng and Su Qingyu determined at almost the same instant that the clam demon, Yu Qing, was definitely a Poison Cultivator.
Moreover, her poison was of a type they had never encountered before.
It was an Exotic Poison, one that was in a constant state of change.
It had no fixed nature. Instead, it would adapt itself based on the victim’s condition, transforming into the poison best suited to exploit their weaknesses.
Previously, Zou Feng had found it a bit strange, feeling that Yu Qing wasn’t just relentlessly pursuing him to avenge Luo Gang.
Now, he was certain. The demon was, after all, very hungry for his body—the body of a super Poison Cultivator...
This group of demons had clearly formed some kind of Array while flying, making them move as a single unit. Even without Yu Qing taking action, their combined combat power could not be underestimated.
Seeing this, even Jiang Wanzhao couldn’t help but frown.
’I assumed she would have come alone to maximize her speed. But she brought more than twenty Dao Foundation Realm demons with her! This is going to be tough. Yu Qing alone is already a handful, and with so many other demons, the difficulty of killing her has more than just doubled...’
Of course, Jiang Wanzhao wasn’t afraid of twenty-some Dao Foundation Realm demons. But that number would certainly cause a lot of trouble, even if they were just cannon fodder.
