Chapter 984 - 709: Mosquito Emperor’s Pursuit
Within the Human Race cultivators, who generally have weaker individual combat strength than demon kings of the same level, he is considered a rarity.
How could such a sturdy city suddenly fall?
Shen Xuan put down the tool in his hand and rose to step out of the Artifact Refining Room.
In the outer hall, Xiangcao had already prepared the Battle Report Jade Scroll, standing respectfully with hands lowered.
Shen Xuan took it, and his Divine Sense sank into it.
A moment later, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"I see, Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes appeared on the front lines."
The same are said to be the branch descendants of the ancient ferocious insects "Blood-winged Black Mosquito."
The Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes that appeared this time are far more ruthless and brutal than the Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes he encountered in the Wilderness back then.
The battle report described these mosquitoes as smaller in size, with vivid demon colors, and unusually sharp mouthparts, seemingly possessing a trace of the Talent Skill [Million Illusory Forms], able to split into phantom forms, penetrate the minute gaps of the Immortal City Protection Array, and quietly enter the city.
Once they get close, they can instantly drain the cultivator’s essence blood and flesh, impossible to defend against.
Most of the defending army of Purple Flame Immortal City crumbled internally due to the surprise attack of the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes, allowing the demon army outside to take advantage and break through.
"Good stuff!"
Shen Xuan’s eyes shone with a burning light.
Since they are not the same species.
This also means he can plunder new Talent Skills from the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes.
Or strengthen the existing Talent Skills.
Two great Divine Powers of the Blood-winged Black Mosquito that awe the ancients, [Million Illusory Forms], and [Devouring All Things].
He remembered them clearly.
Especially the [Million Illusory Forms], which splits into thousands, hard to distinguish reality from illusion, is the supreme Miao Technique for life preservation and escape.
How could he miss such Divine Power?
"It seems, I will have to go into seclusion for a period again."
Shen Xuan instantly made a decision in his heart.
He put away the Jade Scroll, and looked at Xiangcao standing to the side.
"Xiangcao."
"Yes, Master."
"Send a message to Yiyun, have her return for a visit. Some materials require her to manage personally."
"Yes, Master."
Xiangcao accepted the order, bowed and retreated to send the message.
Several days later, Liu Yiyun completed a few procurement tasks assigned by her teacher, Departed from the Bright Flame Sect with light and joyful steps like a carefree lark.
She did not notice that a barely perceptible "decorative" detail quietly appeared within her cloud-like hair bun.
A completely transparent, hair-thin little snake phantom remained quietly hidden there.
Using the Heaven Concealing Stone to disguise its energy, evaded detection by the sect’s array and left Bright Flame Sect with her.
...
Former City Lord’s Mansion of Purple Flame Immortal City.
Inside the hall, blood Qi and demon Qi mingled, too thick to dissipate.
Dozens of demon kings sat within, each with distinct appearances.
Some have a roc’s head with a human body and unfolded wings, others have wolf heads with protruding muzzles, and sharp claws, also tiger faces with ringed eyes, brimming with Evil Qi...
The fierce demon Qi emanating from them has transformed this lavish hall into a wilderness nest.
On the main seat, demon light suddenly flashed, and two figures appeared out of thin air.
The one on the left, with sharp eagle eyes and a closed vertical seam on the forehead, was none other than the three-eyed Thunder Peng Emperor who strikes fear in the Southern Wilderness.
His face was full of smiles, and the lightning occasionally flashed in his eyes that made the gathered demons shiver from cold.
The one on the right appeared even more bizarre.
A pointed mouth like a slender black cone, a face so handsome it borders on eerie, beneath the skin faintly visible are colored insect patterns.
A pair of wings covered in eerie red light formed a phantom, trembling slightly behind him.
In his hand, he played with a white bone banner, the surface of which moved without a breeze, as if countless twisted faces struggled and wailed, emitting a piercing screech only the Divine Sense could perceive.
He is the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito Emperor, whose actions hold the main credit for the city’s destruction, known for his unpredictable methods.
"Greetings, Demon Emperor!"
All the demon kings in the hall dared not be negligent, they rose together and respectfully saluted.
The sound was mixed, carrying a beast-like reverence.
"Everyone, no need for ceremony, please sit!"
The three-eyed Thunder Peng Emperor’s voice boomed, waving a large hand.
"Children, serve the dishes!"
As soon as the words fell, several elite Thunder Roc clan members entered holding large basins made of bone or stone in succession.
In the basin, what was placed were none other than the crudely treated, blood-reeking remains of Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
Some could even discern the terrified expressions from when they were alive.
The rich scent of blood food instantly filled the hall, stimulating every demon king’s bloodthirsty instinct.
"You’ve all worked hard!"
The three-eyed Thunder Peng Emperor lifted a large bowl made from polished skulls before him, filled with dark red viscous cultivator essence blood.
"To be able to break through Purple Flame City this time, Fellow Daoist Mosquito Emperor deserves the greatest credit! If not for the silent breaking of the array by his subordinates and draining the defending troops’ blood Qi, how could we so easily level this city?"
The three-eyed Thunder Peng Emperor scanned all the demons, his voice like muffled thunder: "Come! Let us all, toast Fellow Daoist Mosquito Emperor!"
"To Mosquito Emperor, Senior!"
"Thank you, Lord Mosquito Emperor!"
The demon kings responded with a fervor, their gaze fiercer, raising bone bowls and stone cups before them, all filled with scarlet, striking blood.
"You all are too polite."
The Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito Emperor’s voice was thin, piercing straight to the divine soul.
He gently raised the peculiar goblet in his hand, slightly gesturing.
"Drink together from this cup! Swear to exterminate Bright Flame Sect!"
The three-eyed Thunder Peng Emperor roared.
"Drink this blood together! Swear to exterminate Bright Flame Sect!"
All demons roared in unison, shaking the roof tiles.
Immediately, a hair-raising chewing sound filled the hall.
The demons showed no further restraint, revealing some of their true forms, devouring ravenously, like the wind sweeping away clouds.
For them, the blood and flesh of cultivators, containing pure Spiritual Power, are extremely nourishing.
A complete Foundation Establishment Cultivator was equivalent to more than ten years of absorbing the essence of sun and moon through bitter cultivation.
If able to kill a Golden Core True Master, using their Golden Core and entire body’s blood and flesh, they could exchange with the Demon Emperor for some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, with the hope of breaking into the next Small Realm.
The banquet was lively with the fervent atmosphere of blood flowing.
Suddenly.
The Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito Emperor, seated at the main, shivered slightly and stood abruptly!
