Ch 322: Ao Han
The enormous dragon head lowered slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in its golden vertical pupils: “Investigating a wanted criminal?”
Its massive body coiled in the air, scales rubbing together to create a teeth-grinding sound.
“Are you trying to deceive me? Why haven’t I seen any wanted criminal?”
Zhou Lingfeng was about to continue explaining, but Qian Wanjun suddenly stepped forward, the phoenix-winged gilded spear in his hand radiating a dazzling light.
He keenly sensed that Ao Han’s attitude had been hostile from the start, with no intention of listening to their explanation.
“Ao Han! Do you really think we are pushovers?”
Qian Wanjun shouted sternly, the spear tip pointing directly at the giant dragon, “If you want to fight, then fight! Why bother pretending!”
Zhou Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He then noticed that the surrounding sea had become unusually calm at some point, so calm that it was somewhat eerie.
And in Ao Han’s eyes, there was clearly a flash of teasing, like a cat toying with a mouse.
“Hahaha!”
Ao Han let out a earth-shattering laughter, “Not bad, not bad, you actually discovered it. But unfortunately, you discovered it too late!”
Its laughter rolled in like thunder, causing Zhou Lingfeng and Qian Wanjun’s eardrums to ache.
There was a hint of cold killing intent in the laughter, as if mocking their naivety and stupidity.
As soon as its voice fell, several figures suddenly appeared in the sea around the island.
Each figure exuded a powerful aura, some strong and some weak, but without exception, all were Great Demon at the Martial Saint Realm.
Each of these Great Demon exuded the powerful aura of the Martial Saint Realm.
They formed an encirclement, trapping Zhou Lingfeng and Qian Wanjun in the middle.
“Ao Han! What do you mean by this?”
Seeing this scene, Zhou Lingfeng immediately reacted. This Dragon Demon in front of him had no intention of letting them go at all. His previous words were just to stall them.
Ao Han sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in its huge dragon eyes: “What do I mean? You think you can just leave after seeing the Karma Fire Red Lotus that our clan has worked so hard to protect for so many years? Do you really think we are made of mud?”
You should know that they had wholeheartedly guarded this precious Karma Fire Red Lotus for a full twenty years.
During these long years, they had put in countless efforts, just to wait for the moment it matured.
In another year, this Karma Fire Red Lotus would completely bloom, advancing from the Third Grade to the Fourth Grade, and the power and value it contained would reach a new level.
For them, this Fourth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus was of extraordinary significance.
Once they swallowed it, they would be able to use its pure and powerful power to further purify their own bloodline, remove impurities, and make the power of the bloodline more pure and powerful.
This would not only be a great improvement to their current strength, but also lay a solid foundation for their future cultivation path, providing the possibility of breaking through to a higher realm.
However, it was this soon-to-be-mature Karma Fire Red Lotus that became a huge stone in their hearts.
If the news of this treasure were to be leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable. After
all, the preciousness and power of the Karma Fire Red Lotus were well-known throughout the Cultivation World.
Once a greedy person learned of its whereabouts, they would surely come to snatch it at all costs.
At that time, they would not only have to face powerful enemies from all directions, but also be constantly wary of various conspiracies, tricks, ambushes, and assassinations.
It was conceivable how difficult it would be to protect this Karma Fire Red Lotus in such an environment, almost impossible.
Therefore, they had to carefully hide this secret, ensuring that not a single word was leaked before the Karma Fire Red Lotus matured.
So, when Ao Han saw these two daring to trespass and covet the Karma Fire Red Lotus that they had guarded for twenty years, he had already made up his mind to kill these two humans here no matter what, and must not let them succeed.
After all, this soon-to-be-mature Fourth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus was too important for their clan, concerning their future bloodline purification and cultivation breakthrough.
And Ao Han’s questioning of Zhou Lingfeng and Qian Wanjun just now was actually just a temporary measure for him, the purpose was to delay time and wait for his helpers to arrive.
He knew very well that with his own strength alone, it might be difficult to kill these two human experts at the same time, so he needed to borrow the power of other Demon Race.
At this moment, seeing that his helpers had arrived one after another, a fierce look flashed in Ao Han’s eyes.
He did not hesitate to issue an attack order to his companions: “Go! Kill them!”
As Ao Han gave the order, a Seven-Colored Jellyfish Demon whose strength had reached the Martial Saint Realm suddenly stretched out its tentacles, which were hundreds of feet long, like flexible whips, and swept towards Zhou Lingfeng and Qian Wanjun with a whistling sound.
These tentacles flickered with strange light, obviously containing highly toxic and powerful strength. Once entangled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing the tentacles of the Seven-Colored Jellyfish Demon suddenly attacking, the two were shocked, and almost instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.
Qian Wanjun’s face was solemn, and his eyes revealed decisiveness. He said without hesitation: “Split up!”
He knew that facing so many Demon Race experts, if the two acted together, they would only drag each other down. It would be better to separate and find their own chances of survival.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Wanjun’s figure retreated like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he retreated to a place hundreds of feet away, trying to distance himself from the enemy and buy himself more time to respond.
However, the Demon Race obviously would not give him this opportunity.
Just as he had just gained a foothold and was about to adjust his breathing, a cold and gleaming bone blade had already flown towards him like a shooting star chasing the moon, its speed was astonishing, carrying a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Qian Wanjun’s heart tightened, and he dared not be careless in the slightest. He propped up his hands, and the True Qi in his body surged like a river bursting its banks, instantly condensing between his hands, forming a thick Qi shield.
There was only a loud bang, and the bone blade slammed heavily on his Qi shield, bursting out dazzling sparks.
Qian Wanjun only felt a huge force coming, and his figure could not help but sway slightly, but he still stabilized his figure with his profound cultivation and blocked the bone blade’s attack.
However, the crisis was not resolved. Before Qian Wanjun could relax, immediately afterwards, a burly man as strong as a hill rushed out of the crowd, tightly holding a bone blade that was also gleaming with cold light in his hand, with a ferocious smile on his face, like a beast choosing someone to devour.
