The only way

Chapter 891 Hunter and Prey

Ideals are always full, but reality is very skinny.

Before Ding Xiangxue and her companions had even walked out for a cup of tea, Chen Liushi's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

The demon monks who were coming from behind were already very close.

They hid in some dense grass, and it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

Mo Yitong was placed on the ground. Her legs and feet had regained some strength thanks to the nourishment of spiritual power, and she could at least lift them freely.

Her gaze fell on a spot not far ahead, where several human cultivators were killing each other as they were watched by a Jindan demon cultivator with twin horns on his head and red eyes.

Among them, there was a female cultivator dressed in white.

That was... the senior who helped her and her senior brother.

Except for Li Duan, the highest cultivation level of the remaining cultivators is only the foundation building stage.

He was unable to fight back against the Jindan demon cultivator's pursuit.

However, this Jindan demon cultivator did not seem to intend to kill anyone. Instead, he captured these fleeing cultivators one by one and started to play with them.

"I don't like eating human flesh, but what I love to watch most is dog-eat-dog," the Jindan Demon Cultivator nodded calmly, his eyes red as if he was crazy, "I'll give you one chance, kill each other, and the one who survives, I'll let him go."

The dozen or so people who were captured did not believe these words, but they had no choice.

The first person to attack was a haggard old man. He attacked ruthlessly and showed no mercy.

The sharp claws formed by spiritual power mercilessly grabbed the gray-robed man standing beside him, pointing straight to the throat.

The man in gray robe was not willing to be outdone. He stepped back very quickly and flicked his long sleeves. A cloud of gray smoke spread in the air, blocking everyone's view.

"poisonous!"

A loud shout was heard, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in the gray fog, along with occasional muffled groans and angry roars.

Occasionally there was blood dripping.

From fleeing side by side to drawing swords against each other, it only took a moment.

The Jindan demon cultivator with two horns on his head was watching with great interest.

Of course, there were more cultivators who escaped than these, but they fled in all directions, and even a Jindan demon cultivator could not find them all.

But the Jindan Demon Cultivator didn't care much. As he said, he didn't like eating human flesh, so it didn't matter to him whether these cultivators escaped or not.

But he had to pretend to be doing it, so as to avoid being blamed by Lord Huang later.

If we can get half of these people back to repair it, it will be enough to complete the task.

As for letting them kill each other and letting the last one alive go, the Jindan Demon Cultivator did not lie either.

  We can still eat dead people, right?

He just let a cultivator go. If he doesn't chase him, aren't there other evil cultivators out there?

He didn't tell a single lie.

Through the gray fog, the Jindan demon cultivator looked at the human cultivators who were killing each other with a mocking look, like a cat playing with a mouse, watching the turtle in a jar struggling in vain.

Just as he watched, the Jindan Demon Cultivator's expression began to change, and there was a hint of doubt between his brows.

Are they...are they playing a trick?

Many of the cultivators in the gray fog were injured in the fight, and the wounds on their bodies looked serious.

But after half an incense stick of time, more than a dozen people practiced, and not a single one died.

Each killing move seemed fierce, but no one actually died.

The red color in the Jindan Demon Cultivator's eyes became more and more intense, and a faint smile escaped from the corners of his mouth.

These human beings are really... damnable!

The monks in the gray fog were still pretending to kill each other, but the next moment they felt a biting chill crawling up their backs.

  Murderous intent!

Before all the cultivators could react, several screams rang out in the night sky. A dark blood mist erupted in the gray fog, and several cultivators close to the Jindan Demon Cultivator stiffened, and blood-colored flowers suddenly bloomed in their hearts, and their vitality dissipated in an instant.

Thump thump.

Corpses fell from the sky like dumplings.

Ding Xiangxue and the others who were hiding in the bushes all had changed expressions. They looked at the corpses falling in the gray fog in shock, and felt a chill all over their bodies.

There was a hint of anxiety in Mo Yitong's expression. With the help of her spiritual power, she kept scanning the fallen corpse.

She was afraid to see the body of the senior in white!

Fortunately, among the seven bodies that fell, there was no woman in white.

The woman in white who was being talked about by Noila Mo was now in the gray fog with an ugly expression.

At that time, the woman in white left Mo Yitong and her fellow apprentice brother and sister and fled to Jumang City first, but she didn't get far before she was caught by the Jindan demon cultivator.

The Jindan Demon Cultivator told them to kill each other, and the woman in white quickly realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to delay time.

The Jindan Demon Cultivator was able to capture them so quickly, so it must be that Master Li managed to escape successfully.

As long as Master Li successfully escapes, they will most likely be able to wait for rescue.

The only thing we can do now is time.

The longer they delay, the greater their chances of survival.

However, he did not expect that the delaying tactic would not fool the Jindan Demon Cultivator for long.

Seeing several monks die, the heart of the woman in white completely fell to the bottom.

Looking towards the south, not far away is the city of Jumang, their way of survival.

Then she looked to the east, where the sunrise was coming from, but she might not be able to see it.

  Ok?

The woman in white looked towards the east and then turned her head back to the south.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he even reached out to rub his eyes.

  She was not wrong!

On the southern skyline, several golden rays of light were coming towards them, and the pressure from the human race's Jindan cultivator was released without any concealment.

  It's the rescue!

The woman in white, whose face had been as calm as water until now, finally revealed an expression that could not be suppressed. The joy of escaping from a desperate situation surged in her heart and completely filled her chest.

The woman in white was not the only one who saw the golden light. The cultivator who was controlling the gray fog was cheered up and immediately controlled the gray fog to disperse instantly, blocking the sight of the Jindan demon cultivator.

The rest of the monks, either earlier or later, all put in all their strength and ran towards the direction of the golden light.

Ding Xiangxue and Mo Yitong, who were hiding in the bushes, could not see clearly. The scene reflected in their eyes was the gray fog that filled half of the sky.

The Jindan demon cultivators naturally noticed the arrival of the human cultivators earlier than the human cultivators.

With three auras that were no weaker than his, the Jindan demon cultivator also turned around without hesitation, ignoring the fleeing cultivators, and retreated towards the direction of the demon army's base.

  Since he can't defeat the person who comes, he naturally has to run away!

At least we have to join forces with the demon cultivators who are chasing us before we can have the power to fight back.

The golden stream of light was naturally the floating warship that was rushing over, and leading the way was Master Qiu, who had the highest level of cultivation.

The aura of the Golden Core Great Perfection could easily dissuade the lone Golden Core Demon Cultivator from retreating.

The floating warship was very fast, and it only took a moment for it to go from a spot of light to be visible to the naked eye.

The surviving monks all showed expressions of relief the moment they boarded the floating warship. Some even collapsed on the deck, sobbing and crying softly.

After picking up the cultivators, the floating warship did not stop and continued to chase the Jindan demon cultivator, moving towards the direction of the demon army’s base.

At this moment, the relationship between pursuit and escape, hunter and prey began to reverse.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
