Chapter 1631 - 691: The Endangered Little Zhiyo

Chapter 1631: Chapter 691: The Endangered Little Zhiyo

The golden light came swiftly, almost simultaneously with Little Zhiyo, landing right in front of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

Two beastly paws pressed down onto the body of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

Little Zhiyo roared furiously, glaring at the opponent with extreme anger.

The opponent, a golden horned rhinoceros as massive as a hill, also exuded fierce aggression, letting out a roar that changed the color of the sky and earth.

Ye Lingyue’s heart trembled, incredulously staring at the golden horned rhinoceros.

The majestic demon energy and overwhelming presence revealed the opponent’s identity.

The intruder was none other than the Golden Horn Demon King!

"Heh heh, truly unexpected, never thought I would almost be deceived by you cunning humans this time."

The Golden Horn Demon King, transformed into his true demon beast form, spoke human language, his eyes gleaming with pride.

Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo were also shocked.

They had not expected that the Golden Horn Demon King would manage to uncover the trick played by the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

"Heh heh, perhaps you are curious why I discovered the Senluo Ghost Fruit King was a fake? Because, like it, I have also consumed a Senluo Fruit."

With this statement, Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo suddenly understood.

It turned out, the Golden Horn Demon King was also a Ghost Beast Inheritor.

Qiu Tian once said that the Senluo Mother Vine would produce numerous offspring vines, and the Senluo Fruits they bore could endow the Beast Clan with the identity of a Ghost Beast Inheritor.

But to ultimately become the Emperor Gui Tie, one must devour the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

The illusion created by Little Wuya in the form of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King was lifelike, making it hard for outsiders to detect any flaw.

But if the Golden Horn Demon King was also a Ghost Beast Inheritor and had consumed a Senluo Fruit, the situation would be different.

Only those who have eaten the Senluo Fruit could recognize its scent.

After Ye Lingyue broke the Luoshu Mountain River Map, the Golden Horn Demon King realized he had been fooled upon seeing the fake Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

Years ago, when he was still a Great Demon, he coincidentally acquired a Senluo Fruit.

With that single fruit, the originally mediocre Golden Horn Demon King among demon generals gained mutated demonic power, established significant achievements during the chaos post-Demon Ancestor’s fall, and was promoted to Demon King by the South Nether Empress.

The Golden Horn Demon King also knew that only by obtaining the Senluo Ghost Fruit King could he truly become the unique Ghost Beast Inheritor.

Thus, upon hearing news of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King this time, he led his army personally to seize it.

Originally thinking this journey would go smoothly,

he was unexpectedly ambushed by Ye Lingyue, sustaining heavy losses, and encountered the two nemeses, Xi Jiuye and Di Shen.

These two, one with unfathomable strength, suspected to hail from the Divine Realm.

The other even scarier, likely the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor.

The Golden Horn Demon King was so terrified that his knees went weak, but the clash between the two reversed fortunes, offering him a chance.

He pursued Ye Lingyue as Di Shen and Xi Jiuye faced off.

Unbeknownst to him, he tracked down the Senluo Ghost Fruit King and another Ghost Beast Inheritor.

After speaking, the Golden Horn Demon King’s movement technique changed dramatically, a wild force erupting from his golden horn.

His demon power transformed into a golden lightning bolt, suddenly exploding.

Little Zhiyo was struck by the golden lightning, sent flying away.

The Golden Horn Demon King was overjoyed, grabbing the Senluo Ghost Fruit King to swallow, but from behind came the sound of fierce air tearing.

The Golden Horn Demon King turned his head to find dozens of Heavenly Sword Hemp darting towards him like fish swimming in the sea.

As the Golden Horn Demon King’s horn moved, the sky filled with thunder, turning into a sheet of golden lightning under the bright blue sky.

Patches of thunder and lightning rain fell down repeatedly.

The destructive power of the golden lightning was incredibly impressive; even the Heavenly Sword Hemp personally refined by Ye Lingyue shattered into fragments upon contact, unsure of what demonic power it was formed.

The female martial artist of the Human Clan with her sword came stabbing forward.

The Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant moved erratically, slicing out to stir a blossom of sword flowers.

"Ignorant fool."

The Golden Horn Demon King muttered from his throat, suddenly spewing a golden demonic power thunderball.

The thunderball was brimming with mutated demon thunder power, emitting crackling sounds akin to a small sun.

Just a touch from Ye Lingyue’s Nine Dragon Chant sent the Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant flying back, causing a numbing sensation in Ye Lingyue’s tiger’s mouth.

"Boss, be careful."

A tricky golden thunderball descended, aimed at Ye Lingyue’s face.

Little Zhiyo arrived just in time, standing in front of Ye Lingyue.

The golden thunderball crashed violently into Little Zhiyo’s body.

"Little Zhiyo!"

Ye Lingyue exclaimed, watching as Little Zhiyo staggered and collapsed weakly.

Its pure white fur had been pierced by the golden lightning, leaving a bloody cavity that sprayed blood, turning half of its body red.

Ye Lingyue’s heart tightened heavily, as if something clutched it fiercely, causing intense pain.

"Heh heh, foolish, throwing away your life for a human. After I eat you and the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, I will be the Ghost Beast Clan’s sole inheritor." The Golden Horn Demon King licked his lips, his throat emitting swallowing sounds.

His mountain-like figure swiftly moved to Little Zhiyo’s side, ready to pierce Little Zhiyo’s throat with his mutated golden horn.

"Leave it alone!"

A chilling voice pierced the air.

The Golden Horn Demon King didn’t even turn his head; he knew it was the voice of the Human Clan female demon hunter.

"Heh heh, no need to worry, after I finish eating this little creature, it’ll be your turn next."

The Golden Horn Demon King laughed arrogantly.

But at that moment, he paused, feeling an unprecedented sense of danger.

A "cloud" floated over the top of his head.

The Golden Horn Demon King instinctively looked up.

Where he saw a small, murky black cauldron suspended above.

The cauldron was small but appeared unfathomably deep; something seemed to be moving continually within, resembling black and white fish or black and white snakes.

The Golden Horn Demon King intended to examine what this cauldron was about.

Unexpectedly, the black and white inside the cauldron suddenly mixed, forming an Eight Diagrams figure.

The moment the Eight Diagrams emerged, a brilliant light shone.

The light poured onto the Golden Horn Demon King, initially feeling nothing.

However, an instant later, he realized something was off.

The Ghost Beast Power and demon energy inside him were evaporating like water vapor.

"No!" The Golden Horn Demon King attempted to struggle, but soon found all his efforts were futile.

The golden light possessed mysterious power, shrinking his mountain-like body rapidly, ultimately drawing him entirely into the Qian Cauldron.
