FVN Chapter 612 The Ruthless Killer, Gui Mu Zi! Deputy Island Master!
Chapter 612 The Ruthless Killer, Gui Mu Zi! Deputy Island Master!
On the sea, Li Jiuyuan and Tu Laomo were locked in a fierce battle.
The two demonic powers at the Nascent Soul level collided violently, causing the sea surface within a radius of dozens of miles to sag and form a huge whirlpool.
Dark red demonic energy and dark green poisonous mist intertwined and surged, each collision causing the gray mist in the sky to tremble violently.
The two were evenly matched in cultivation and had fought each other no less than a hundred times over the past few hundred years, so they knew each other's techniques inside and out!
Li Jiuyuan's Blood Demon Scripture was known for its domineering and fierce power, while Tu Laomo's Poison Demon Skill was known for its insidious and bizarre nature. For a time, neither could defeat the other.
On the other side of the battlefield, Chen Fan had already transformed into a dark red meteor, rushing straight towards the group of men brought by Tu Laomo.
Among those people were two Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators, six Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, and a dozen or so Nascent Soul Early Stage underlings. They had originally hoped that Old Demon Tu could hold off Li Jiuyuan, while they could take advantage of the chaos to attack Demon Abyss Island, relying on their superior numbers.
But they never expected that such a wicked person as Gui Muzi was hiding on the island.
Chen Fan's first target was those two Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection stage.
The two had just witnessed their companion being crushed into a pulp by the Blood Fiend's giant hand. Now, seeing Chen Fan rushing towards them, they had no will to fight left and turned to flee in different directions.
Chen Fan sneered and casually waved the Black Soul Banner. Dozens of blood-red rays shot out from the banner like venomous snakes, instantly catching up with one of the people.
The blood-red light wrapped around his legs and suddenly pulled him back, causing him to scream as he arced through the air before Chen Fan slapped him on the head.
Blood-red demonic energy poured in from the top of his head, shattering the demonic core and nascent soul in his dantian. The remaining demonic energy and divine soul were completely absorbed by the Black Soul Banner.
The demonic cultivator's body withered away in a few breaths, leaving only a skeletal shell that fell into the sea.
The other Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage escaped even further, having already fled several miles away.
Chen Fan did not pursue, but simply threw the Black Soul Banner into the air. The banner suddenly grew to several feet high, and the soul power vortex on the banner surface trembled violently. A dark red soul spear shot out from the center of the vortex and went through the air.
The demon was desperately trying to escape when he suddenly felt a chill on his chest. Looking down, he saw a dark red spear tip protruding from his chest.
Before he could even scream, the power of a million souls contained in the Soul Spear tore his soul to pieces.
He killed four Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators in a row, all within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The remaining demonic cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage and early Nascent Soul stage were terrified.
They've roamed this boundless sea for years; what kind of ruthless characters haven't they seen!
They had never seen a demonic cultivator kill his peers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables before.
Some people tried to form a formation to protect themselves, but Chen Fan casually broke the formation's core with his Fixed Word Technique, and they all vomited blood due to the backlash from the formation.
Some people tried to escape into the deep sea, but Chen Fan used the soul power net set up by the Black Soul Banner to scoop them up from the sea. They struggled and writhed like fish and shrimp caught in a fishing net, and were then crushed one by one by the Blood Fiend Hand.
What's even more chilling is the way Chen Fan killed people.
He used different methods to kill each person!
Some were burst open from the inside by the blood demonic energy, their flesh and blood flying everywhere; others had their souls drained by the Black Soul Banner, turning them into dried corpses.
Some were cleaved in two by the blood-fiend sword energy that evolved from his causal sword intent merging with demonic power, and the remains floated on the sea, attracting countless demons to fight for them.
Two others tried to feign death and hide among the corpses, but Chen Fan discovered them. With a casual wave of his banner, he forcibly extracted their souls from their bodies. The silent screams of the two on the soul banner sent chills down the spines of all the demonic cultivators present.
The demonic cultivators on Demon Abyss Island watched this scene from afar, their faces turning pale.
They considered themselves ruthless killers, but seeing Gui Muzi brutally murdering Tu Laomo's subordinates, they felt a sense of absurdity, as if they were mere pawns compared to a great wizard.
"The Blood Fiend Hand can crush a person like a chicken, and the Soul Banner can extract souls like water. Even the Island Master in his youth might not have been this ruthless."
"It's not just ruthless, it's downright enjoyable. Look at the expression on his face when he kills people, it's no different from killing chickens. He killed so many people without even flinching."
"Tu Laomo's men are usually so arrogant in front of us, but now they've been killed without even being able to fight back."
"Luckily, Gui Muzi is on our side now. If he were the enemy, I would be the first to run."
……
On the sea, the battle between Li Jiuyuan and Tu Laomo was also coming to an end.
Tu Laomo was already disoriented by Gui Muzi's killing of four generals, and with Song Tianren watching the battle from Demon Abyss Island, he was even more uncertain. He feigned a move to force Li Jiuyuan back and then transformed into a streak of dark green light to escape.
Li Jiuyuan chased for dozens of miles but couldn't catch up, so he stopped. He stood on the sea and laughed three times, his laughter filled with the satisfaction and triumph he had suppressed for half a year.
"Hahaha! Old Demon Tu, didn't you want to twist my head into a lantern? Why did you run away? Next time you come to Demon Abyss Island, I'll make sure you don't even have a chance to escape!"
After laughing, he turned and flew back to the island, landing in front of Chen Fan, the smug look on his face still lingering.
Li Jiuyuan sized Chen Fan up and down, his gaze sweeping over the sea littered with corpses. His eyes were filled with undisguised admiration: "Ghost Wood Child, I've truly seen something new today. Four Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators, six Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, plus a dozen or so lackeys—you took them all down by yourself, and with such cleanliness and efficiency. I've lived for over a thousand years and seen many ruthless people, but I've never seen anyone as cruel yet methodical as you. You're even more demonic than a demonic cultivator—and when I say that, it's a genuine compliment."
Chen Fan tucked the Black Soul Banner back into his waistband, his face still bearing that arrogant and indifferent expression. He casually cupped his hands and said, "Island Lord, you flatter me. Old Demon Tu's men were nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs; killing them is nothing to boast about. It was Island Lord's battle with Old Demon Tu just now that truly broadened my horizons. Old Demon Tu suffered a great loss this time and fled back in disgrace. I'm afraid he won't dare to attack again for a while."
Li Jiuyuan was quite pleased with this light but not heavy flattery, and patted Chen Fan on the shoulder, saying, "Let's go back to the palace and talk about it."
Inside the main hall, Song Tianren remained standing with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.
Li Jiuyuan strode into the hall, plopped back down on the blood-red stone seat, picked up the demonic blood wine offered by a maid, took a large gulp, wiped his mouth, and said to Chen Fan, "Gui Muzi, I keep my word. You have rendered a great service to me today, and from this day forward you will be the deputy island master of Demon Abyss Island, second only to me in status. You can use all the cultivation resources on the island as you please, choose any pills or demonic artifacts you like, and go into seclusion or leave whenever you wish without needing to ask anyone for permission."
