How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 497: Chapter 0492: Who is the Fisher?

Wan Baoguang and his companions hid in the shadows when they suddenly sensed intense fluctuations of True Yuan.

“Such strong True Yuan fluctuations, it must be the Guiyuan Late Stage!”

The small man with Wan Baoguang’s group felt a shudder in his heart.

He was only at the Early Guiyuan Realm, and facing an opponent in the Guiyuan Late Stage would be like child’s play for the enemy.

“Moreover, the newcomer is from a different race.”

Wan Baoguang said as the strange voice from just now had uttered the words ‘human beings,’ heavy with the intent to kill; and considering this was the East Sea, the presence of other races was very common.

Another race, Guiyuan Late Stage!

The twin sisters were internally relieved that they had almost lost their composure over the two percent interest, ready to volunteer themselves and snatch away Chen Yu’s mission.

They hadn’t expected the newcomer to be from another race in the Guiyuan Late Stage. With the hostility between humans and other races, the enemy would definitely not let them go just by seeing them, and even if they had a talisman capable of momentarily bursting with the speed of the Guiyuan Late Stage, escape was not guaranteed.

“With one strike there was no more commotion; that kid must have been killed by someone in the Guiyuan Late Stage.”

The elder twin speculated.

“Didn’t he even use a talisman?” The younger twin was perplexed.

If he activated a talisman and, considering Chen Yu’s Body Cultivation, he shouldn’t have been killed in one strike.

“Hehe, he probably thought talismans were too precious, wanting to save them for later use. But now, he no longer has that chance,” the small middle-aged man laughed.

To him, Chen Yu seemed the type to be greedy, and such behavior was quite normal.

“What should we do?” the twins asked.

The enemy was at the Guiyuan Late Stage, and not easy to provoke.

“Those Yin Corpse Worms are not ordinary either. We’ll observe for a while before acting.”

Wan Baoguang was more composed, probably having some life-saving measures.

He had observed the palace earlier and noticed that the top was actually cracked. It was precisely because of this that the Yin Corpse Worms were attracted and entered the palace.

Inside the palace, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was rich, and through the crack, the Yin Corpse Worms could also absorb outside Yin Sha Qi.

In such an environment, the worms grew stronger and more powerful in combat.

This is why when the twin sisters first entered the hall, they looked shocked, because there were an extremely high number of Yin Corpse Worms, and their presence was strong.

As a seasoned treasure hunter, Wan Baoguang easily stabilized the army’s morale; the others didn’t act and stayed in the area for the time being.

The people present were mostly Loose Cultivators, desperately needing resources, and unwilling to abandon the Million Primordial Stones.

After some time passed.

“There’s a total of three, the other two have weaker auras, likely in the Early Guiyuan Realm,” Wan Baoguang surmised.

Their gazes flickered as they began to analyze the gap in strength between the two sides.

Normally, three well-coordinated Middle Stage of the Guiyuan Realm could contend with a Late Guiyuan Realm individual.

Furthermore, that Late Guiyuan Realm individual was currently battling a swarm of Yin Corpse Worms. Considering this, an ambush by three Guiyuan Realm cultivators at the same time even had a chance for victory.

However, there were now only five of them left; the twin sisters, when combined, were equivalent to a Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm combatant, and adding Wan Baoguang, they had the strength of just two at that level.

Right at this moment!

Screech! Screech!

A sharp and piercing scream emitted from the sea of worms.

“It’s the Worm King; it’s about to show its might. If we use the king’s counterattack, our chances of turning the situation around increase significantly!”

Wan Baoguang transmitted his voice to everyone, urgent and causing their hearts to pound.

“But it seems we don’t have much chance of winning.”

The twins and the small man were all wary.

They only had the strength of two Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm warriors.

“Do you still plan on hiding your strength, sir?”

Wan Baoguang looked toward the man in the conical hat.

The other three all turned to look, as the man in the conical hat had been acting quite uniquely along the way, inscrutable.

“Just consider me one more Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm strength,” the man in the conical hat transmitted.

…

Elsewhere, three members of another race were fighting amidst the swarm of Yin Corpse Worms, the ground littered with worm corpses.

Boom!

Elder Kun waved his Trident, and three streams of black water jetted out, hitting hundreds of Yin Corpse Worms.

The other two Early Guiyuan Realm members were in a rather pitiable state, retreating constantly, leaving Elder Kun to bear more of the worm attacks.

Among the swarm of Yin Corpse Worms, one that was three times bigger than the others with gray luminescence flickering in its eyes, exuded amazing Yin Sha Qi all over its body.

Under the Worm King’s command, the coordination of the Yin Corpse Worms improved, organizing their formations to strike at Elder Kun.

In this battle, Elder Kun had killed the most Yin Corpse Worms and became the primary target of the Worm King.

Boom!

Numerous Yin Corpse Worms combined together, formed a silver-black ribbon, and rolled towards Elder Kun, launching attacks from all sides.

“Scram!”

Elder Kun placed his Trident horizontally, and a wave of black water spread out, blasting in all directions.

Immediately, countless Yin Corpse Worms were shocked away or killed, but some still advanced toward Elder Kun.

From behind, the Worm King suddenly launched an attack, opening its fang-filled mouth and spewed out a gray, deathly mist.

Whoosh!

Elder Kun swung his Trident, repelling the Yin Corpse Worms and at the same time, the end of the Trident collided with the gray mist.

Pop!

The gray, deathly mist was blown apart and scattered, sending a wave of Yin Sha Qi towards Elder Kun.

Feeling a hidden trick within the move, Elder Kun waved his arm, dispersing his True Yuan.

Still, plenty of Yin Qi infiltrated his body, causing him discomfort.

“Seeking death.”

Elder Kun’s face showed a ruthless expression as he swung his Trident, launching a fierce attack on the Worm King.

At that moment, a series of True Yuan fluctuations came from the other side.

“Kill!”

Wan Baoguang uttered a low shout, leading the others in a charge, moving at an incredibly fast pace.

He opened his mouth, and although no sound came out, a layer of distorted sound waves blasted forth.

The twin sisters’ Sword Intent grew even stronger, and they simultaneously thrust out their Water and Fire Swords. The two beams of light seemed to merge, radiating an even more powerful aura.

The man with the conical hat also exhibited a completely different aura than before, as he wielded an ancient blue sword with continuous strikes and slices.

At this moment, everyone could feel the Genuine Yuan fluctuations at the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm emanating from the man with the conical hat.

“He’s been hiding his cultivation level,” everyone realized.

Although they all thought the man with the conical hat had hidden his strength too deeply, they needed his power at the moment and thus did not mind it.

“There are actually humans lying in ambush here!”

Elder Kun was extremely surprised.

He had thought that Chen Yu had fled alone and that there was no one else but Chen Yu at this place.

Now, with enemies on both sides, Elder Kun had no better strategy than to commit all his efforts to the fight.

Boom! The sound of the explosion shook the heavens and earth, making the entire ruin tremble slightly.

Not far away, Chen Yu still lay quietly amidst the rubble.

“The battle has finally begun…” Chen Yu thought to himself.

Although lying down was quite comfortable, being buried was another matter. He hoped these two forces would start fighting soon and end the battle quickly.

Once Chen Yu knew the strength of the enemy, he was certain that Wan Baoguang and the others would take a risk.

Furthermore, he always felt that the man with the conical hat was very strong, possibly the strongest among them, which meant Wan Baoguang and the others had a fighting chance.

In fact, Chen Yu was willing to join them in confronting the enemy.

However, Wan Baoguang had schemed against Chen Yu, sending him to do such a dangerous task and to assess the enemy’s true combat power, which irritated Chen Yu.

Therefore, he decided to just watch the drama unfold from the sidelines and not bother with them.

Regardless of the outcome, the victorious side would surely be severely injured, and by that time, even if it was the Guiyuan Late Stage, Chen Yu would be able to fight it.

“You despicable and shameless humans, how dare you ambush me.”

Elder Kun roared.

He was attacked from both sides and unable to pay attention to both fronts while facing powerful enemies, which caused him to get injured.

“Kill.”

Wan Baoguang’s body shimmered with golden light, each of his palms delivering far greater power than before.

The twin sisters, having used some secret technique, unleashed an even greater combat strength.

And the man with the conical hat was even more impressive—his swordplay was as swift as the wind, creating countless blue sword glows around Elder Kun, dazzling to the witnesses.

The trio aimed to repel or even severely injure Elder Kun, so they used all their means without reservation.

Thanks to the initial surprise attack, the three fighters injured Elder Kun and gained an advantage, and together with the aid of the Corpse Worm King, their battle was almost equivalent to four Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm cultivators besieging the wounded Elder Kun.

“Mixed Element Kill!”

Elder Kun’s body surged with black Genuine Yuan, which he poured into his Trident, unleashing a powerful killing move.

Black violent streams swirled around him, their destructive forces astonishing, obliterating nearly a hundred Yin Corpse Worms in an instant.

The three, temporarily pushed back by the Guiyuan Late Stage, knew that by retreating they would likely give Elder Kun a chance to catch his breath.

“Sword Soul Strike!”

The man with the conical hat’s eyes flickered with traces of blue ethereal sword shadows.

Whoosh!

A streak of ethereal blue sword shadow, imbued with sharp Sword Intent, rushed forward furiously.

This was a spiritual Sword Intent attack!

The twin sisters could also execute it, but their spirits were weaker, and their Sword Intent was not high, rendering it ineffective.

“Damn it…”

Elder Kun stumbled and cursed involuntarily.

The spiritual Sword Intent attack was so fierce and swift that he couldn’t defend in time.

Boom, boom…

The group once again charged forward to kill.

This was their final opportunity, and they were even willing to pay certain costs, utilizing all methods at their disposal.

Ultimately, Elder Kun was gravely injured, his combat strength diminished, and he was forced to retreat.

“Curse you, wait and see…”

Elder Kun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and roared before he chose to withdraw.

As someone in the Guiyuan Late Stage, to be severely injured by those in the middle phase was a complete loss of face.

But he had no choice; the sudden ambush had injured him, and with the Corpse Worm King’s ferocity and the man with the conical hat’s might, he stood alone, unable to fight against many. His companions, two in the Early Guiyuan Realm, were restrained by the Yin Corpse Worms and couldn’t assist him.

“Heh, this is truly a case of the bystander reaping the rewards,” the twin sisters smirked, thinking that Wan Baoguang’s scheme wasn’t bad.

Under normal circumstances, they would never dare clash with someone in the Guiyuan Late Stage.

As Elder Kun and his two companions withdrew, one of the Early Guiyuan Realm cultivators had an idea and approached Chen Yu’s location, blasting away the ruins.

“A storage bag…”

His gaze fell on Chen Yu’s body, on the storage bag.

Having obtained this storage bag, the trip wouldn’t be a loss.

But suddenly, Chen Yu, who had been lying down, burst forth, fiercely stabbing towards the Guiyuan Realm cultivator with the Giant Ruler Sword.

“You… aren’t dead?” The cultivator from a different race widened his eyes, startled by Chen Yu’s feigned death.

Thud!

The huge sword struck his abdomen, causing him to spit out blood.

Chen Yu continued his relentless advance, the massive sword pressing against the opponent as he flew upward, striking against the rocks and forcing him to spit out another mouthful of blood.

“Die.”

Chen Yu punched like thunder, aiming for the foreigner’s head.

Bang! Bang!

He unleashed his full strength with two punches, smashing a dent into the opponent’s face and causing blood to spurt out.

Caught off-guard, the Early Guiyuan Realm cultivator fell to Chen Yu’s sudden attack!

At the same time, Chen Yu confiscated the storage bag from his body.

“You’re not dead?” Elder Kun was struck with realization.

“Is this kid pretending to be dead?”

Even Wan Baoguang and his party were stunned.

They had fought desperately, risking their lives against the Guiyuan Late Stage, and just when the battle ended, Chen Yu bounced back out. Who was really the fisherman reaping the rewards?
