Chapter 2667 - 27: Heaven Never Seals All Paths (Part 2)

Jiang Wang had quietly repositioned himself, hiding in a naturally decayed tree hole to the left of the black bear, using the Red Mirror to observe the environment within fifty miles, trying to determine who had discovered him and what means they had prepared.

A rather handsome young member of the Demon clan gracefully approached from afar after the giant bear was subdued. His demon mark was a long tail, swaying behind his hips, as agile as a snake.

A twisted crack opened at his brow, revealing a vertical pupil that emitted a faint red light, surrounded by a ring of eerie patterns.

From the external traits, it was clear he possessed at least two innate divine skills, making him a genius of the Demon clan. Had Jiang Wang known about this eye earlier, he would never have chosen to tail this bounty hunter squad with him around.

It’s not that he couldn’t handle it, but such a level of demon genius would surely possess a richer array of tactics, making him harder to deceive. He is of a greater significance and attracts more attention from the powerful demons.

If an ordinary little monster disappears, maybe some demons will inquire, maybe not. But if a demon genius disappears unexpectedly, the matter will be fully investigated!

"You’ve finally shown yourself."

At this moment, the handsome demon spoke with ease in demon language: "I’ve long suspected someone was following me, spying on me, but I couldn’t find anyone."

"It’s just a simple task to win over the little princess of Mo Yun City. Is there a need for this? Even deploying assassins?"

Though his vertical pupil remained closed, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Wang’s hiding spot: "Tell me, who sent you? Yu Xin? Yuan Mengji?"

Jiang Wang remained silent.

There were two reasons for his silence. One, he was locating all the demon warriors near this area to calculate the time he could use; and two... He couldn’t understand this demon language very well.

He only understood simple words like "you," "task," "who." He sensed that there seemed to be a misunderstanding; the opponent clearly didn’t know that a human who had killed several Demon Kings was hiding here, otherwise, such a formation wouldn’t have been used.

If it’s purely accidental, then the luck is really bad...

Compared to Jiang Wang’s silence, the handsome demon was visibly joyous, clearly lost in his own assumptions, and satisfied with his sharpness.

To him, the other’s silence was an admission and a guilty conscience.

"Indeed." He smiled in the direction of the assassin, showing full confidence in controlling the situation: "Your movement technique is very high and you know how to conceal yourself. But you overlooked something important... Didn’t do your homework before coming to me?"

Across the black bear, brambles, and tree holes, he hadn’t seen the assassin’s appearance yet, but through special markings, the gathering demon warriors had already surrounded the area.

Who could have thought Quan Xizai would come out for a bounty task and simultaneously arrange twenty small teams scattered in this deep mountain forest? Brought together, they’re an army!

Through secret patterns to complete summoning contact, using various maneuvering to approximate the assassin’s location, commanding evil beasts to directly force the assassin out of hiding... These accomplishments aren’t particularly boastful.

Quan Xizai was originally one of the top genius figures in Mo Yun City. Naturally, he had abilities to match his reputation.

Seeing more of his subordinates gather, Quan Xizai gently stroked his brow’s vertical pupil with his slender index finger, making his proclamation as the victor: "Since I was very young, it has always warned me. Including today, it told me there’s danger approaching. In front of this eye, no one should try—ugh!"

Too fast!

Like a flash of lightning piercing the old forest.

The dark forest was briefly illuminated.

Quan Xizai fell backward.

A plain ordinary tree branch was enveloped in Sword Qi, piercing his abdomen and pinning him firmly to the ground.

His long tail hardly had time to rise before it drooped.

And the vertical pupil at his brow was directly gouged out, appearing red, diamond-shaped, like a crystal stone, lying quietly in Jiang Wang’s palm.

"This eye, I will keep."

Wearing a straw hat and wrapped in tattered clothes, Jiang Wang flipped his palm to tuck away the vertical pupil, speaking in Tao Language as he did.

He couldn’t completely understand the demon language, but he grasped some words like "eye," forming a rough context. So he responded thus.

Life is sometimes like this.

No matter how cautious and careful you are, you can’t claim you will definitely safely pass through various calamities.

Who can foresee everything?

Who knew there would be such a demon with such innate divine skills that could make him, a cultivation equivalent to the human Outer Tower Cultivator, perceive the threat posed by God Descending Realm Jiang Wang?!

Jiang Wang had been very cautious, not for a moment taking these demons, whose prowess were far inferior to his, lightly.

But he still lacked a bit of luck.

However, for him, even though being discovered by this dog demon placed him in an extremely terrible predicament, the current situation was actually quite simple—

Now that he’s been found, the demons who see him, and those about to surround him... must die.

The entire forest was silent, because he controlled the sound.

Struggling, running, shouting but unable to make sound, trying to cause a commotion...

All are useless.

Before taking action, Jiang Wang had rehearsed every step, even calculated the time needed to kill each demon. And with expertly weaving Sword Qi with his fingers, his body doubled in shadow, sweeping through the forest like the wind...
