Monarch Night

Chapter 1597: Chapter 11: Fatal Temptation [2-in-1]_3

The other five quickly occupied their positions, their auras instantly merging, as Sword Light exploded simultaneously and Pill’s Sword Light swiftly joined in.

Although the Hexagram Star Formation was missing one link, with Pill’s external Sword Qi making up for it, its power was not diminished.

A sharp shout.

With a boom, the Sword Light soared into the sky.

The six transformed into a brilliant beam of light, Pill at the center, as he coughed up a mouthful of blood, using Blood Burning Skill in tandem with the Hexagram Star Sword Formation.

With a whoosh, they broke through the encirclement.

Dozens of Demon Beasts in the air shrieked as they fell, chopped into pieces, their flesh and Demon Cores rolling on the ground.

Meanwhile, Pill and the others had already charged a thousand feet towards the foot of the mountain.

A piercing screech.

Countless flying Demon Beasts flapped their wings and quickly pursued, while the ground Demon Beasts instantly devoured the fallen flesh and Demon Cores, then surged downhill like a torrent.

Fiercely pursuing Pill.

Pill and the others rushed out from Guang Ming Peak, turning into a beam of light in the air, speeding for five thousand feet.

This streak of light-like speed even left a considerable gap between them and the flying Demon Beasts.

Then they landed swiftly, once again using Body and Sword as One to soar into the air.

Leaving both ground Demon Beasts and flying Demon Beasts far behind.

Just getting out of the forest and crossing the eight hundred li isolation zone would ensure safety.

All six felt a bit relieved.

But suddenly, they remembered the powerful beast in Heishui River that made them shudder just thinking about it.

Only by crossing Heishui River would they be truly safe.

The six turned into a stream of light, flying low through the dense forest with Body and Sword as One.

Yet, the countless beasts of Guang Ming Peak, in the sky and on the ground, charged forth in a roaring torrent, relentlessly pursuing.

They were unwilling.

Their treasured possession was clearly theirs—why was it repeatedly stolen by humans?

Didn’t you have your own? Why must you rob ours?

This was an irreconcilable enmity!

The six were fleeing for their lives.

The man in white stood guard in front of Heishui River.

His eyes were fixed on the water surface intently.

This was genuinely odd.

That Yemo jumped in and seemed to melt into the river, never surfacing again.

His Divine Sense spread completely, covering a large portion of the river surface.

In his heart, he was merely puzzled.

Could there be such a powerful beast within Heishui River? The calm surface didn’t suggest that.

Looking at a dozen massive Demon Beast corpses on the shore, they all emerged from the water intending to attack him, but all without exception were killed by his sword.

He even cut them open to check, and none had swallowed Yemo.

The man in white was unwilling.

Was it possible for the treasure in hand to just fly away? This damn... it just didn’t make sense.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Seven or eight monsters burst out from the water, rushing forward fiercely with bared teeth. These beasts were larger than the previous ones.

But the man’s sword was swift as the wind, slicing through the air, instantly slashing these seven or eight beasts.

It was quite easy.

He sliced them open one by one for inspection, indeed finding no trace of Yemo.

However, the Demon Cores of these beasts were a small gain.

The man in white straightforwardly began collecting Demon Cores, Demon Pearls, and inner cores.

Some beasts had pearl-like things inside, which he rudely collected as well.

Though not worth much, displaying them in the Mortal World would be considered precious treasures.

Demon Beasts continuously emerged from the water, and the man in white continuously killed them, Yemo still hidden.

Slowly, the man in white started to give up hope.

"If after killing another hundred beasts for their Demon Cores and pearls, and Yemo still hasn’t appeared, then it’s likely he perished here in Heishui River... it’s best to just leave then," he thought.

Though he thought so, his hands did not slow down at all.

Unbeknownst to him...

At this moment, upstream of Heishui River, a massive creature was silently gliding underwater.

Moving with speed akin to teleportation, it swallowed numerous fish and small beasts along the way.

Some beasts it devoured were several times larger than the biggest ones slain by the man on the shore.

While the man in white was gleefully slaying Demon Beasts, Pill and the six were frantically charging out of the dense forest.

Rushing into the marshes.

They were covered in blood from head to toe, with even their hair stained with congealed Demon Beast blood of various colors, resembling six wild men running out from the mountains.

After running dozens of miles, suddenly the sky there darkened, and thousands upon thousands of flying Demon Beasts crashed like black clouds overhead.

Dust rose from the ground, and a great force of ground Demon Beasts surged out as well.

However, whether flying or ground Demon Beasts reached the edge of the forest, they roared in anger but did not cross over.

Their resentful gazes fixed on Pill and the six swiftly retreating figures on the marshes.

Yet not a single one dared to step onto the marsh!

The flying beasts also did not advance.

Instead, a large group shot straight into the sky, ascending into the heavens.

Then crossing over from the absolute safe height above the clouds, they prepared to ambush Pill and the others on the other side.

Pill and the six kept rushing across the marshes until they could finally see Heishui River before finally stopping.

Seeing that the beasts did not dare to chase them out, Pill breathed a sigh of relief, yet became even more cautious inside.

For he knew, the beasts were not scared of him nor were they intimidated by any isolation zone—such agreements meant nothing to them.

The only reason they dared not pass was because of the powerful presence in the water!
