Chapter 461 307: Kill Without Mercy

On the way, Cyan Dome informed that the four of them took Guzhu City as the center and searched their respective areas. Finally, the Sable discovered a Tier Four Frog Demon in the northeast direction.

However, the Divine Sense of that Tier Four Frog Demon was exceptionally sharp, nearly evading the Divine Soul perception of the Sable at the Tier Four Late Stage. It was only through her crisis-sensing Bloodline Divine Abilities that she detected the anomaly.

And the reason that Frog Demon exposed itself was due to the Six-winged Golden Cicada.

As Li Jizhou mentioned before, the Frog Demon seemed to have a kind of affinity with the Six-winged Golden Cicada.

What's different is that the Frog Demon discovered by the Sable isn't as colorful as Li Jizhou had described, but is entirely pitch black.

"Blackened?" Li Jizhou chuckled lightly, he was almost certain it was Gua Gua.

Gua Gua must be like himself, the first time they saw the Six-winged Golden Cicada, they mistakenly thought it was the same one from before.

"Hmm~ that's odd, doesn't that mean the fat insect wasn't with Gua Gua then?"

In his past life, before the life-and-death moment, the Qilin Immortality Pill, the fat insect, and Bai Yi were all inside Gua Gua's bag of treasures.

Gua Gua being able to mistake the Six-winged Golden Cicada this time indicates that the fat insect wasn't with him.

Li Jizhou's heart tightened slightly.

Worried that the Qilin Immortality Pill had changed owners.

Thinking of this, he brought out the remaining number of Teleportation Talismans.

A day later, Li Jizhou finally joined Hong Luan and the others.

"Young Master, we each guarded our sections without alarming anyone, but the Frog Demon seems to be in trouble." Hong Luan immediately reported.

"What's the situation?" From above the Third Heaven, Li Jizhou was supported by the magical power of four females, overlooking the junction below of the Black Water River and swamp.

"There is a Divinity Transformation Early Stage cultivator there, with four Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators setting up an array, and many poisonous insects are being kept within, seemingly to lure the Frog Demon."

"You mean, Gua Gua came here because it was lured by the bait within the array?" Li Jizhou furrowed his brows slightly.

The main difference between Demon Beasts and the Demon Race lies in the degree of intelligence awakening. The Demon Race is no different from the Human Race, whereas Demon Beasts bear more of their instinctual nature.

"Yes."

Li Jizhou's eyes narrowed slightly, it seems there are still people very interested in his past life's reverse transformation, probing relentlessly at Gua Gua, the Demon Beast that had followed him the longest.

Those able to dispatch a Divinity Transformation Dao Master would only be the five great ancient families and Sacred Lands in the Central Domain of Eastern Desolation.

"The Shangguan family, the Jiang family, the Wang family, Taihao Sacred Land, Barbaric Prison Sacred Land…" Recalling the sights and sounds before he died in his past life, Li Jizhou sneered at these five top forces of Eastern Desolation's Central Domain.

"Boom~" Just as they were speaking, a loud sound rang out, followed by a column of water shooting straight into the sky.

Soon after, a radiant glow circulated at the junction of the Black Water River and swamp ahead, as if a flipped bowl covered that area.

Clearly, a Restriction Array had been activated.

This verified Hong Luan's words, there truly was someone deliberately targeting Gua Gua, pulling him away from the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp to this place, out of the swamp's domain.

"Gua~" Immediately after, a frog croak echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"Gua Gua!" Li Jizhou's heart was filled with joy, the sound was unmistakably familiar, confirming it was indeed Gua Gua.

"Take action!" Without any further hesitation, Li Jizhou commanded the four women.

The Sable remained in place to protect Li Jizhou with a Mana Shield, while the other three women instantly shot towards the top of the array.

"You beast, let's see where you can escape today?" Inside the array, the Divinity Transformation cultivator sneered, magical power surging all over.

In an instant, searing flames spread across the sky.

The ten-mile radius enveloped by the array suddenly turned into a sea of flames.

The water from the Black Water River below boiled and rolled, quickly evaporating in no time.

They actually intended to steam dry the black water inside the array.

The Divinity Transformation cultivator, with celestial magical power, surrounded within the array the deep and eerie Black Water River; mist filled the skies, the water level visibly dropping rapidly.

The four Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators each guarded a section, focusing intently on the Frog Demon, who might emerge at any moment.

As the black water boiled, Gua Gua, with a pitch-black body and glowing eyes on its back like a black hole, was restless and frequently surfaced.

Yet, the following moment it was invariably pressured by the four guarding Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators to dive back underwater.

"Don't be careless, this beast accompanied Master Chang Chun since the early days and surely knows many secrets, possibly even involving the confidential affairs surrounding the Quasi-Immortal Artifact, it has escaped for over twenty years, this time we cannot fail."

"Obey the elder's decree!"

"Gua~" Another wail resounded as Gua Gua finally could not withstand the black water filled with the power of Divinity Transformation Dao Master and leapt up.

"Capture him alive!" The four Nascent Soul True Monarchs instantly rejoiced, each employing their killer moves to block the Frog Demon's return path to the black water, while a colossal net descended from the sky.

This was the Seventh Grade Spiritual Treasure, Sky Net, even a Tier Four Late Stage Demon Beast caught in it would struggle to tear it apart.

"Gua~" Just as the five had planned, Gua Gua completely leapt out of the water and was enveloped by the Sky Net, its cry one of desperation.

"Haha…" The four Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators found solace, laughing heartily.

But after only two laughs, their expressions shifted.

Boom~

A loud explosion occurred, causing the entire array to tremble.

Immediately after, the sound of the array shattering reached the ears of the five people.

"Breaking the array with a single strike?"

"This is a Quasi-Fifth Tier Restriction Array, even a Divinity Transformation Middle Stage Dao Master could not break it instantly!"

"Be alert, there is a great power!"

The Divinity Transformation Dao Master urgently transmitted to the four,

But before the sound had even finished, a cyan light flashed from the west side of the array.

"Snip~" Next moment, the Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the west had his head separated from his body, a wave of death enveloping him, it was a sword that annihilated his Divine Soul, leaving him dead without a trace.

"Retreat quickly!" The Divinity Transformation Dao Master shouted sternly, ceased steaming the Black Water River, took position at the center, and shielded the remaining three Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Who is this Dao Friend? Why such cruelty?"

The next instant, Cyan Dome's emerald figure appeared, with Hong Luan's bright red cloak and Cang Huang's yellow fur on one side.

"Hmm? Tier Four Half-Demon!" The Divinity Transformation Dao Master discerned their background with one glance, furrowing his brows tighter.

How did Tier Four Half-Demons manage to break the array with a single strike?

Could there be a master backing them?

"Hmph, senselessly slaughtering members of my Shangguan family, if the three of you do not provide an explanation, the Shangguan family will pursue this from the heavens to the depths, seeking justice!"

"Hehe~ such grandstanding from Dao Master, such strong support from the Shangguan family, I'm so scared." Hong Luan smiled as she responded, clearly unimpressed with the opponent.

There have been fewer Human Race Divinity Transformation cultivators they've slain?

"Sister, stop wasting time with them, I'm about to breakthrough my bloodline, let me kill them, use their blood to spur my bloodline!" Cang Huang was impatient, her small figure eager to leap into action.

Hong Luan glared at her: "Why the rush? Wait for Young Master's signal."

The Divinity Transformation Dao Master's face darkened even further upon hearing this, his heart pausing, Young Master? There indeed seemed to be someone behind them.

Meanwhile, Gua Gua, who had already been in despair, stared blankly at the three Half-Demons in the sky, so moved tears nearly fell from its eyes.

The aura of the Demon Race made it exceedingly comfortable and gave it a sense of belonging.

At that moment, behind Hong Luan and the other three women, the Sable brought Li Jizhou forth slowly.

"Young Master, how should we proceed?" Hong Luan and Cang Huang both turned, inquiring respectfully.

Li Jizhou glanced at the four members of the Shangguan family, his expression indifferent, then looked at Gua Gua, who was ensnared by the Sky Net, unable to move, but those familiar large eyes were looking at him, a reminiscent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yan also carefully examined Li Jizhou.

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?

"Kill without mercy!" Even before Shangguan Yan could react, Li Jizhou coldly spat out these three words.
