Chapter 1540 - 600: The Fortunate General Arrives

Chapter 1540: Chapter 600: The Fortunate General Arrives

An ominous premonition kept accumulating in the depths of her heart.

Dongfang Liuli’s eyes flickered continuously.

Unlike Ye Lingyue’s Cauldron Breath, Dongfang Liuli’s Cauldron Breath was nurtured from the Cauldron Foundation and was only half a piece of the Cauldron Foundation, so both its scale and power were very limited.

She only had Black Cauldron Breath, with only destructive power, and at most, it could only be cultivated to the strength of ten fingers. She had already used up two fingers’ worth, leaving only eight fingers of Cauldron Breath.

As she concentrated her mind, she found that her single finger’s worth of Cauldron Breath seemed to have sunk like a stone into the sea, without a trace of response.

"Cauldron Breath! How could that Cauldron Breath just disappear?"

Dongfang Liuli’s face fell drastically.

The Black Cauldron Breath disappearing without reason was something Dongfang Liuli had never experienced before.

"Little ghost! Where did you take my Cauldron Breath?!"

That stern shout jolted Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya awake from their daze. Little Zhiyo let go of Little Wuya with a bit of indignation, the latter blushing all over her face, her eyes wet and gleaming, not daring to look at Little Zhiyo.

"Bah, venomous woman, your Cauldron Breath was nothing. I, Zhiyo, ate it all up clean."

Little Zhiyo, having had his advantage, was now grinning from ear to ear.

To speak of it, the little wife’s lips really tasted sweet; no wonder that big bad Emperor Di Shen always wanted to hold on to the boss.

"Little Zhiyo, you’re alright?!"

Little Wuya, upon hearing this, looked up, her blush not yet faded, causing Little Zhiyo’s heart to itch as if scratched by claws, wanting to plant kisses on her cheeks.

"Little wife, I’m amazing, how could I be defeated by a venomous woman with no face, no shape, and no class."

Little Zhiyo puffed out his chest proudly.

His words greatly provoked Dongfang Liuli, especially since she had been disfigured by Little Zhiyo.

"Damn brat! Today I must kill you, not only kill you, but also skin you alive, strip your bones, refine your Primordial Elixir, letting you never rise again."

Dongfang Liuli was trembling with anger.

The remaining eight fingers of Cauldron Breath wove around her like a serpent’s tongue, circling nonstop, as she exuded a ghostly, chilling murderous aura.

"The venomous woman is enraged, Little Wuya, let’s run."

Though Little Zhiyo’s Gui Tie Power had devoured the Black Cauldron Breath, the taste was terrible. Little Zhiyo didn’t want to try it again; he hugged Little Wuya, preparing to dash off.

"Where are you going!"

Dongfang Liuli showed a sinister smile at the corner of her mouth, her figure lunging forward as she flicked her finger slightly; a finger of Black Cauldron Breath, like a ghost, aimed for Little Wuya’s back.

She couldn’t believe that a Desert Beast could withstand her Cauldron Breath, let alone the delicate little girl.

First, kill that little girl to make that little Desert Beast suffer immensely, then, when it was weak, slowly torture it to death.

Cruelty spread more and more on Dongfang Liuli’s lips.

"Little Wuya, be careful."

But at this moment, a protective light sped in, blocking in front of Little Wuya at lightning speed.

With a loud bang, the Black Cauldron Breath bore into the light; the two clashed with a muffled sound, leaving both Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo blinded by white, unable to see what was happening.

At this moment, something grabbed their collars, quickly pulling them back dozens of feet. Then a familiar voice drifted over.

"You two little ones, you nearly got yourself into big trouble with your reckless courage."

Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya both looked up to see Bo Qing, his face somber, his peach blossom eyes still showing a trace of agitation.

"Deputy team leader, why are you here?"

Ye Lingyue was the team leader of the Huangquan Team, and Bo Qing was the deputy leader. Little Wuya usually called him deputy team leader.

"If I hadn’t come, wouldn’t I be waiting to collect your bodies? If something happened to you two, how would I explain to Ling Yue?"

Bo Qing said grumpily, without hesitation, knocking each of the little ones a head flick as a scolding.

His temper was notoriously bad. Other than being nice to Ye Lingyue, he was indifferent even to his old friends, Situ and Lan Feng.

However, the worry in his eyes was quite evident.

Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, after being scolded, stuck out their tongues, holding their heads. Although young, both were Divine Beast level and quite intelligent, realizing that Bo Qing was genuinely concerned about them.

If Bo Qing had not suddenly appeared to rescue them in time, it’s likely that one of them, either Little Wuya or Little Zhiyo, would have been seriously injured.

In reality, after Bo Qing parted ways with the Huangquan Team that day, he had anticipated Ye Lingyue would first go to hunt the Tiger-Faced Leopard King. So, he went in the opposite direction, hoping to try his luck in the river valley region.

Bo Qing’s method of demon hunting was unlike others; he didn’t actively seek out demons but strolled leisurely, strolling around aimlessly.

This was Bo Qing’s usual practice; with his good fortune, even a blind cat could catch a dead rat more successfully than others.

Even so, taking it easy, Bo Qing had not been idle along the way.

At this moment, his storage bag contained over five hundred Demon Cores, many of which were over a hundred at the Great Demon Level.

This number, when translated into Merit Points, undoubtedly put him first among all Demon Hunters.

Even after Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche hunted the Tiger-faced Leopard King, their Merit Points trailed significantly behind Bo Qing.

Bo Qing walked pretty much everywhere.

On the fifth day, Bo Qing roamed aimlessly near the river valley. By happenstance, he encountered Dongfang Liuli driving children into the river.

Initially, Bo Qing had no intention of playing the part of the Bodhisattva to rescue anyone, because he subconsciously avoided confrontation with Dongfang Liuli.

He believed that if he subconsciously didn’t want to do something, there was almost certainly danger involved.

Furthermore, Bo Qing doubted Dongfang Liuli could hunt the Azure Dragon Crocodile.

Just as Bo Qing was about to walk away with a clean conscience, he overheard Little Zhiyo orchestrating the children’s escape upstream.

Upon hearing Little Zhiyo’s voice, Bo Qing instantly recognized him.

That was when Bo Qing lost his cool. For the sake of Ye Lingyue, Bo Qing knew he couldn’t just stand by.

Hence, he trailed along, discovering not only Little Zhiyo involved, but Little Wuya as well in the reckless endeavor. With that revelation, Bo Qing felt he had to intervene.

He wasn’t in much of a hurry; he waited until the little ones couldn’t handle it anymore before making his move.

But Bo Qing didn’t truly engage; he merely took out a Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact from his storage bag as if tossing a bomb, triggering the artifact, and throwing it over.

That’s what led to the scene Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo had just witnessed.
