Chapter 1398: Chapter 1383: This Will Not Happen Again
Seeing Ye Zhen charge towards the Shanyang County of North Sea County, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Water Demons like a moth flying into the fire, Fengg Jiumo and the other nine Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters were all dumbfounded.
The Water Demons are known for their longevity and massive size. Basically, any Water Demon capable of coming ashore to pillage is not weak in cultivation, at the very least, they are Water Demons of the Establishment Realm.
Moreover, due to their size, most Water Demons can easily kill enemies above their level.
For instance, a Water Demon of the Establishment Realm can easily defeat a Human Clan samurai of the Dao Entrance Realm, and a Water Demon of the Dao Entrance Realm can easily defeat a Human Warrior of the Divine Communication Realm, especially in this weather where rain pours down and Water Spiritual Power is extremely abundant.
This is essentially the home ground of the Water Demons, where even ordinary Water Demons can unleash astonishing combat power.
Among the hundreds of thousands of Water Demons below, more than fifty percent are Water Demons of the Establishment Realm, about forty percent are Water Demons of the Dao Entrance Realm, and among the remaining ten percent, they are all Grand Demons with cultivations above the Divine Communication Realm.
But even if there were only ten thousand Grand Demons in the Divine Communication Realm among the hundreds of thousands of Water Demons, that would still be over ten thousand.
Due to the influence of their race and the weather, these Divine Communication Realm Water Demons can easily deal with martial artists in the early to mid Dark Palace Realm.
What’s more deadly is that as Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, even at the elite level, we are more skilled in single-target hunting and assassination. When facing these massive Water Demons with indiscernible weak points, our combat power will plummet.
Never mind ten thousand Grand Demons of the Divine Communication Realm, even a thousand could leave us with no place to bury our bodies.
Yet, our superior, Ye Zhen, just foolishly rushed over like this.
As they stared in shock, Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo shouted, “Why are you still standing there? Do we have a choice?”
“If the lord is defeated, we will all be defeated, and the Heavenly Patrol Department will blame us for failing to protect him…”
The next moment, Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo roared explosively, and together with the other eight Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, closely followed Ye Zhen, charging towards the densely packed Water Demons below.
Each face showed the kind of valor of one going to meet death unflinchingly.
But Ye Zhen had no time to pay attention to these matters. Of course, Ye Zhen was no brainless fool. Even in a moment of hot-bloodedness, he would never throw away his life.
Almost simultaneously, the charge initiated by Ye Zhen and his team of ten immediately drew the attention of the Water Demon Army.
Among the Water Demon Army, a Fish Demon General, donned in golden armor with flowing whiskers and a human body with a fish head, noticed the ten individuals rushing towards their army.
For the past two days of siege, even the North Sea County’s Human Clan army had retreated into their shells, relying solely on city defenses. This was the first time anyone dared to charge their army directly.
In the vast goldfish eyes, a fierce glint flashed, and a strange shriek burst from its mouth. Instantly, in the water-filled pits outside the city formed by the downpour, thousands of massive octopuses rose.
Each octopus swung its tentacles, numbering at least a hundred, each tentacle reaching a length of a kilometer.
But this was just their physical form; these octopuses, at the command of the Mermaid General, emitted high-pitched calls. A hundred thousand tentacles, like a hundred thousand whips, lashed and wrapped towards this line of charging ten.
At the moment the hundred thousand tentacles were unleashed, the innate ability of these octopuses simultaneously activated. The originally kilometer-long tentacles instantly expanded over tenfold in length.
In an instant, the sky was filled with these octopus tentacles, and the hundred thousand tentacles stretching tens of thousands of meters long formed an enormous net like a heavenly trap across the sky.
Seeing this, the nine Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters instinctively activated their Divine Sense. The Void Divine Power they had cultivated simultaneously triggered, and with a quiver, their figures vanished into the void, skillfully avoiding the massive net of octopus tentacles.
But in the next instant, the newly vanished Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters groaned in unison, re-emerging from the void with extreme helplessness.
They could evade the deadly net, but their superior, Ye Zhen, could not!
If Ye Zhen were to die, what meaning would it have for them to escape?
The group cried out, flying swiftly to Ye Zhen’s side, preparing to fight to create a bloody path for him. Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo moved the fastest, flashing to the front of Ye Zhen, and with his five fingers slightly curved, he prepared to unleash a Void Divine Power Secret Technique to kill the enemy.
However, fast as Fengg Jiumo was, Ye Zhen’s attack was even faster.
Holding the Thunder Fire Golden Lamp in his left hand, he gently blew, and a Fire Dragon formed purely of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire roared out. In merely a turn, this vast heavenly trap seemed to burn with a hundred-meter-wide hole, and the octopus tentacles caught in the blaze let out miserable cries.
In the face of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, these Octopus Demons with cultivation only in the early-stage Divine Communication Realm were completely inadequate.
“Follow up!”
Ye Zhen calmly ordered, the light of the Thunder Fire Golden Lamp in his hand suddenly turning to a glaring white. Then, the fingers of Ye Zhen’s right hand flickered as if dancing.
Instantly, huge clusters of ghostly white flames fell from the sky amidst the rain.
Most flames are countered by water, their power diminished when encountering rainwater. Yet this pouring rain upon these ghostly white flames did not weaken their intensity in the slightest; the rainwater even ignited instead.
In an instant, Ye Zhen flicked tens of thousands of clusters of Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire, which water could not extinguish. Especially with the Water Element Spiritual Power the Water Demons excel in, it couldn’t suppress it at all.
Upon reaching the ground, vast swathes of white flames erupted, this white sea of fire formed by the Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire, inextinguishable by water. Especially under the massive bodies of the Water Demons, with thick fat burning beneath the Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire, it immediately became the best fuel.
Each Water Demon burned would magnify the fire by several times.
Instantly, the tens of thousands of Water Demons in the north of Shanyang County were thrown into chaos by this sea of fire.
Especially the massive octopuses that attacked Ye Zhen earlier, any tentacle touching the Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire would expand rapidly, using its fat as fuel.
Impossible to shake off, impossible to extinguish, just like a parasite attached to bones.
These Water Demons were not ignorant; those capable of coming ashore to plunder have mostly awakened Spirit Wisdom. Those with astonishing lifespans have also seen much and began to roar on the spot.
“This is Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire, famed for being impossible to extinguish! The best way is to sever your limbs! Where it catches fire, cut off immediately, and you can survive!”
Hundreds of elder Water Demons screamed shrilly.
Their intentions were good, but they underestimated the terror this Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire instilled in the Water Demons.
Water Demons inherently dislike fire extremely, and encountering this parasitic Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire, they were more terrified.
In mere moments, dozens of unlucky Water Demons, due to panic and misfortune, were completely engulfed in the Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire and burned to ashes.
Hearing the survival reminders from the old Water Demons, they took action, desperately cutting at their limbs already ignited by the Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire.
In their panic, they forgot their massive size, and this self-protective severance instantly triggered internal chaos.
Initially, a certain Octopus Demon intended to sever a few of its tentacles but inadvertently pulled a prawn general into a sea of Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire.
Some even severed the limbs or even heads of other Water Demons.
Water Demons have short tempers too. Upon attack, they retaliate in kind with no restraints.
Immediately, an internal violent melee ensued.
Amidst this chaos, nearly all the Water Demons on the north side of Shanyang County fell into disorder.
Ye Zhen’s figure slowed slightly, and it was only after the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, charging like they’re heading to their demise, reached him that he leisurely said, “When I do things, it’s always with preparation. If I wasn’t confident, why would I, Ye, easily assault these hundreds of thousands of Water Demons?”
“This time, ignorance can be forgiven, but next time, under my command, anyone who hesitates will not be spared!” Ye Zhen commanded sternly.
The next moment, led by Fengg Jiumo, the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, stunned by the scene, watched as Ye Zhen, like a celestial being, with perfect ease, passed over the chaotic Water Demon camp in the north and smoothly entered the previously besieged, impervious Shanyang County.
“Looks like our lord is much more formidable than we imagined! Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire, Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, tsk tsk, just these two Spirit Fires are not something ordinary martial artists can possess.
Also, this kind of courage, to charge into a camp of hundreds of thousands of Water Demons as though it’s a leisurely stroll!”
With eyes filled with awe and worship, the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters quickly followed Ye Zhen, slipping into the county!
