Chapter 277: Chapter 45: Deadlock

Crack, crack.

The crab demon finished consuming Zheng Liang and continuously snapped its pincers, appearing extremely excited.

Behind him, countless water demons followed.

Seeing this situation, everyone’s legs couldn’t help but tremble.

"The crab demon is one of the three great demon generals, as famous as the monster fish demon, and can only be resisted by martial artists at the Qi Mermaid Realm." A late-stage Condensed Essence Elder said with a solemn face. He blocked the disciples who were hoping to escape, slowly saying, "The Qi Mermaid Realm, something neither you nor I can withstand, retreat first."

After speaking, he slowly retreated.

The crab demon’s protruding eyes trembled slightly, looking at the disciples.

In the next moment, he moved his feet, bringing a stinking smell, and charged fiercely at the crowd.

Crack.

Almost instantly, two more people were cut in half.

"Run. Run quickly. Ahhh!" Countless disciples ran frantically, thinking about escaping in all directions.

Even though several elite disciples felt shaken, they didn’t dare to escape alone; in such a situation, only by following the Palace Master and Elder Han could they hope to escape from the demon’s hands.

At this moment, Chu Yubo was still entangled with the monster fish demon.

Sensing that the crowd was retreating backwards, he looked for a chance to leave the battlefield and follow everyone to leave.

But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

Because in his line of sight, the crowd had retreated back again.

"Old Han, what’s going on?"

Chu Yubo dodged the sharp claws of the monster fish demon and asked gasping.

Elder Han’s tone was extremely heavy: "Palace Master, the crab demon has cut off the way."

"What?"

Chu Yubo was shocked upon hearing this.

Boom!

While his mind was in turmoil, the monster fish demon’s tail lashed out fiercely.

Puff!

Chu Yubo instantly felt like a thousand-pound boulder had pressed on his chest, and he spit out a mouthful of blood violently.

Rumble.

His body flew backwards, crashing a large hole into the building behind him in an instant.

The flooring beneath his feet was also plowed into a deep trench.

"Palace Master!"

Many elders’ faces suddenly changed.

"Die, monster! Ah!"

A middle-aged elder, his face flushed with anger, used all his strength to charge forward.

He raised a ghost-head saber high in his hands, directly hacking towards the monster fish demon.

"Elder Ling, no!" Elder Han’s face changed again, trying to stop him.

But it was clearly too late.

Before he could even swing the saber.

Crunch.

Elder Ling was already caught mid-air by the monster fish demon. Its dagger-like teeth pierced deeply into Elder Ling’s body.

The monster fish demon’s head shook violently, like a bird holding a live fish, swinging left and right crazily.

At the same time, Elder Ling was already lifeless.

Only drops of blood splattered onto the faces of several people in front.

Everyone stared blankly at this; even with blood droplets on their faces, they showed no reaction.

Under everyone’s gaze, the monster fish demon lightly tossed the corpse in its mouth upwards and then opened its mouth wide below.

Plop.

The entire Elder Ling was swallowed into the monster fish demon’s belly.

"Elder Ling!"

Everyone’s eyes were filled with tears.

"Foul monster, I’ll fight you to the death!"

This scene aroused a murderous intent in countless people’s hearts.

If their previous thought was of escaping, at this moment, they had no hope against the demon attack.

Without the Black Dragon Pool’s rescue, they would surely all perish in the demons’ mouths.

Just as everyone was thinking of rising up again to fight the monster fish demon.

Chu Yubo suddenly appeared before them.

"Cough, cough."

Chu Yubo coughed up blood and, breathing slowly, said, "Don’t make unnecessary sacrifices. Run, as many as can escape, do so."

"Rest assured, even if I have to use this old body of mine, I’ll ensure some of you get out."

"Palace Master."

Tears filled the eyes of everyone there.

"Quickly escape, don’t waste this precious opportunity."

Zheng Liang stared intently at the baby fish demon advancing slowly again, giving a low command.

At this moment, light rain was drizzling from the sky.

Boom!

Another spring thunder exploded.

The baby fish demon excitedly wagged its tail, gradually approaching the crowd.

And with the help of the lightning, everyone saw a tall silhouette.

"That’s a snake demon!"

The people, who had been aroused to some ferocity moments ago, were instantly doused with cold water. Nearly all burning fighting spirit was extinguished in that instant.

They saw a snake as thick as a water barrel, slowly moving behind the baby fish demon.

It moved leisurely, resembling a king inspecting his palace. And the crowd before him was no more than tasty tidbits.

As the snake demon approached, nearly everyone could smell its stench. The surrounding dark aura, although faint, caused them to feel nauseous and dizzy.

This scene filled everyone with fear.

Even Zheng Liang, who had just assured the crowd moments ago, felt his heart turn cold upon seeing this.

If it were only the baby fish demon, he had some confidence in ensuring some people could escape.

But the snake demon, being the leader of the three demon generals, was immensely powerful, far beyond what a martial artist with eight condensed apertures could resist.

Hiss hiss hiss.

The snake demon flicked its tongue.

Scarlet eyes overlooked Zheng Liang, who stood ready.

The snake demon’s hood flared out, like a king’s crown. The chilling aura surrounding it, laden with murderous intent, was terrifying.

"What’s it gonna do?" a low-ranked disciple asked, teeth chattering, speaking with tremors.

But silence surrounded them; no one answered him, only staring dumbly at the massive head, as if their souls had been lost, awaiting the arrival of death.

Clack clack.

Behind them, the crab demon also excitedly snapped its pincers. Watching the crowd was like humans with knives and forks eyeing luscious food on the table.

At this moment, the crowd was silent.

Despair had settled in their hearts because right now, there was no path to survival at all.

In everyone’s gaze, the snake demon suddenly twisted its body.

Whoosh.

The next moment, its thick tail coiled towards Zheng Liang with unimaginable speed.

"The snake demon is so fast, coming from the left, dodge to the right!"

Zheng Liang, despite his shock, instinctively wanted to resist as an Aperture Realm martial artist. But just as he moved, he felt his chest suddenly wrapped by the massive snake body.

"Ah!"

Zheng Liang let out a restrained cry of pain.

His body was instantly constricted, then the snake twisted, lifting Zheng Liang into the air and winding him before the snake demon.

Boom!

Thunder echoed, and in the pitch-dark night, everyone suddenly saw Zheng Liang suspended in the air, his complexion pale. When the white lightning flickered and faded, the snake demon’s massive body, like a shadow in the night, continuously devoured the crowd’s courage.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The snake demon stared at Zheng Liang’s body, its flicking tongue sweeping across his face.

Zheng Liang was in extreme agony, wanting to struggle but was tightly held by the snake demon. Finally, he gave up resistance, knowing that exerting all his might against the snake demon was merely futile struggling.

"Buried in the snake’s mouth, oh, the agony!"

Feeling the stench, Zheng Liang’s face was sorrowful.

He closed his eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

In the crowd’s gaze, they saw the snake demon open its blood-filled mouth, nearly about to swallow Zheng Liang alive.

But in the next instant, an unforeseen event occurred.

Bang!

A dazzling lotus-shaped light suddenly exploded in the snake demon’s mouth.

Crimson flames burned everywhere, waves of heat swept across, evaporating all the misty raindrops.

Crack.

Under the orange flames, a sharp tooth of the snake demon broke.

Hiss hiss hiss!

In pain, the snake demon instantly tossed Zheng Liang aside.

In the night, the snake demon’s body writhed madly, especially its head flailed about.

Clearly, that abrupt explosion of fierce flames caused it extreme pain.

The crowd also seemed to catch a whiff of roasted meat aroma in the air.

"Demonic creature, devouring humans alive, deserves to be slain!"

A calm voice sounded from above the courtyard wall.

The crowd turned to look, seeing a figure leap down from the wall and walk slowly towards them.
