The strongest demonic beasts all had certain intelligence. Although the demons of the Black Sea seemed more ferocious and evil than most, they did indeed have intelligence.
Jiang Yi had killed many demons in the Black Sea and even seriously injured a demon sovereign. The owners of the Black Sea, the strongest demon sovereigns, were bound to react. This was their turf after all. It was only normal for them to want to get back at Jiang Yi.
Swish, swish, swish!
The Black Sea surged. Although the demon sovereigns had not appeared, the surroundings were already reacting to them. Jiang Yi sat down in mid-air, his Dragon Flame Divine Shield glowing—his Mystic Divine Armor and Fire Dragon Sword at the ready. From afar, he looked just like a god.
Pong-Pong!
A huge wave appeared in the sea on his left. A black head appeared on the water surface. It looked just like that of a hippopotamus. However, his eye holes were completely black and empty. His entire body was covered in the black fog. The demon beast stopped about five kilometers away from Jiang Yi but did not attack him. It was almost like it was waiting for the other two demon sovereigns to arrive first.
Tsk! Tsk!
On the right side, the water body suddenly split open, releasing white clouds into the air and fogging up half the sky. A fiery red, round body shot out of the water. Flames were coming out of its mouth. Jiang Yi felt gusts of hot air wrapping around him. The temperature of the surroundings rose several degrees.
“There are fire-elemental demon sovereigns in the Black Sea?”
Jiang Yi was astonished. Water and fire did not mix. In fact, water was detrimental to fire. Fire-elemental demonic beasts were rare in seas. Now, he was seeing a fire-elemental demon sovereign? This ball-like demon sovereign did not attack Jiang Yi either. Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes. It looked like the one that was coming from the center was the strongest of them all. It was very likely that this one was the chief of the entire Black Sea.
Jiang Yi remained still. If he could avoid it, he would choose not to battle. He came to rescue people, not to make the demons of the Black Sea his enemies. Since neither of the two demon sovereigns attacked him, he guessed that there would be an opportunity to talk things out.
Swish!
Something was cutting through the air from in front. Jiang Yi released his divine senses and became even more shocked.
The person coming at him from in front was a woman dressed in black. She looked very young and exceptionally beautiful. There was a certain majestic aura about her. What’s more, her black robes were quite revealing. Almost half of her breasts were peeking out of her dress, which was also so short that almost all of her two long legs were exposed. She was very sexy indeed.
This was the evil Black Sea. There was poisonous fog all around. All the demons here were poisonous and disgustingly ugly. Yet, such a beautiful, young woman lived here. This woman was so classy and sexy at that. It was really shocking and ridiculous.
The woman in the little black dress stopped several kilometers in front of Jiang Yi. Her black eyes looked at him coldly. “Human, the Black Sea does not welcome you. Turn back immediately or… die!”
Jiang Yi laughed out loud. This woman’s aura was powerful. The way she talked made it clear that she was the chief of the Black Sea, but Jiang Yi was sure that he could at least severely injure her. This young woman was being a bit too cocky, wasn’t she?
Still, Jiang Yi cupped his hands respectfully. “I am Jiang Yi. I am friends with Ao Lu of the Endless Deep Sea. I guess you can say that I have a certain affinity with you demons. I did not come to the Black Sea to make you my enemies. However, I have a few friends who are stuck in one of your mystic realms. I came here to look for them. Once I find them, I will leave at once. I will not kill any more of your demons!”
“Jiang Yi? Ao Lu?”
The young woman raised her eyebrows. In a cold voice, she responded, “I don’t know them! I don’t care who you are looking for. If you don’t leave now, you can only die!”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi laughed once again, waving his Fire Dragon Sword. “If that’s the case, then be prepared to witness my true prowess. However… don’t blame me if you lose your life in the process!”
“Arrogant… Kill!”
The young woman cried out. At once, the two demon sovereigns roared and charged toward Jiang Yi. The water below began to surge, and a poisonous, black fog began to form—threatening to engulf Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi released his divine senses to scan the surroundings. There was yet another demon sovereign below that he did not notice?
“Smelting Divine Furnace!”
He called out in a low voice. A huge stone furnace appeared in his hand. He focused all his essence force into the Smelting Divine Furnace. White flames shot out, surrounding Jiang Yi. The poisonous fog dissipated. This was the Nine Heaven True Flames. It was not very powerful, but it was very useful for getting rid of the poisonous fog.
Tsk! Tsk!
Jiang Yi used his other hand to activate the Icebound Thousand Miles. This dao pattern would not do much damage to demon sovereigns either, but it could cause the seawater to become ice, and the poisonous fog to be solidified inside the sea. The temperature of the air around would drop too, causing the poisonous fog to slow down.
Bang!
The demon sovereign on the left rushed out of the sea. Its huge body shot straight toward Jiang Yi. The demon sovereign opened its mouth to spit out black fluids, which extinguished the Nine Heaven True Flames. Everything within a thirty-meter radius of Jiang Yi became covered in that black fluid.
This black venom is too scary—even the Dragon Flame Divine Shield is going to fall apart!
Jiang Yi kept waving the Fire Dragon Sword around, not holding back his power any longer. He activated the Divinity Slayer and caused three True Dragons to appear once again. The black venom dissipated almost immediately. The three Fire Dragons headed straight into the hippopotamus’ open mouth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The hippopotamus’ huge body flew backward. Its mouth and half of its face were blown into pieces. At last, however, the black venom that it spat out protected the rest of its body. Most of the Fire Dragons’ energy was absorbed into it as a result. This way, it managed to survive the impact.
“Hu-hu-hu!”
The ball-like beast on the right was now in the air. It opened its mouth, blowing out black flames that surrounded Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s speed was not great: he did not manage to dodge the fire. All he could do was rely on his Mystic Divine Armor to fend against the attack.
Jiang Yi was resistant to fires, but the black flames were obviously different from ordinary ones. Jiang Yi’s body automatically released a transparent protective layer to keep the flames at bay and even absorb some of their energy. However, he began to realize that the black smoke was penetrating the protective layer. He quickly stopped breathing and focused his essence force on his Mystic Divine Armor. He was counting on it to keep the black smoke out!
Tsk! Tsk!
The sea demon hidden in the sea once again shot out black fumes, causing Jiang Yi to be wrapped in them.
Buzz!
The Mystic Divine Armor did not let Jiang Yi down. It kept the black smoke out, but Jiang Yi was both effectively blind, deaf, and mute now. The protective layer was already filled with the black smoke. He could neither see nor hear. All he could do was use his divine senses to lock in on the ball-like demon sovereign.
“Uh—”
At that moment, he realized that the young woman in front was moving. She shot straight toward him. Her body was completely gone. In its place was just one single black arrow.
“No! Mystic Divine Armor, block!”
Jiang Yi’s heart stopped. His soul spirit was alert to the impending threat. The black arrow was moving way too quickly. There was not enough time for Jiang Yi to even prepare his Divinity Slayer. All he could do was hope that the Mystic Divine Armor would block off this attack as well.
“Tsk—”
The young woman’s arrow shot straight through the black flames from the ball-like demon sovereign’s mouth. It shot through Jiang Yi’s protective layer and the Mystic Divine Armor easily, right into Jiang Yi’s mind.
“Huh? This is a spiritual attack!”
Jiang Yi was so shocked that his soul almost jumped right out of his body. The Mystic Divine Armor was a divine artifact. It should have been able to fend off this spiritual attack easily, and yet it did not. Instead, it allowed it to pass right through?
In the past, Jiang Yi would not have panicked; but that was because he had the Rainbow Soul Spear in his spiritual consciousness. Now, the Rainbow Soul Spear had merged with his primordial spirit. What could he use to fend off this spiritual attack then?
Buzz!
The black arrow transformed once again in Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness. A small human figure appeared. It was a mini version of that young woman in the little black dress!
The young woman stood upright in his spiritual consciousness, laughing mirthlessly. “Jiang Yi, do you think you’re unbeatable just because you killed the Evil Thearch? Do you think you’re unbeatable just because you have divine artifacts? We of the Succubus Race have demonic arts that are derived from heaven and earth itself. Even if Ao Lu himself comes, he would become my slave. Be good and stop resisting. Become my slave, or I will destroy your soul!”
