Chapter 307: Chapter 307: The Terrifying Xiao Xiao
"Wildfire Rampage!"
With Xiao Xiao’s soft cry, a sea of fire spread out from her as its center, engulfing everything. Then, under her control, the flas quickly contracted, finally condensing into a Spirit Sword made of fire and thrusting toward the Fish Demon King.
Ye Qingchen was amazed to find that the flas Xiao Xiao used were no less scorching than his own Fen Tian Earth Fire.
The Fish Demon King was even more horrified. We’re in the middle of the sea, surrounded by water-elental Spiritual Energy! Everyone knows water and fire are incompatible, yet she managed to unleash such a terrifying Fire-attribute Martial Technique here. How much more fearso would this technique be elsewhere?
However, the current situation didn’t allow the Fish Demon King ti to ponder. The Fla Spirit Sword was incredibly fast, reaching him in the blink of an eye. The Fish Demon King desperately controlled the surrounding seawater to set up multiple water shields in front of himself, hoping to block Xiao Xiao’s attack, but these water shields were like paper, easily torn apart by her assault.
The Fish Demon King was shocked. These water shields are the strongest defensive thod I can muster, and they should be infinitely strengthened by the sea around us. I was confident that not even another Demon King of my level could break through them so easily, yet the young girl before
is rely in the Martial Spirit Realm!
After breaking through the water shields, the Fla Spirit Sword continued its advance relentlessly, closing in on the Fish Demon King. Knowing his own body couldn’t withstand the Fla Spirit Sword, the Fish Demon King used the water currents to retreat rapidly, trying to evade the sword’s strike.
The Fish Demon King was fast, but the Fla Spirit Sword was faster still, reaching him in an instant! Terrified, the Fish Demon King hastily swung his long tail, conjuring a hundred-ter water shield behind him.
At the sa ti, the Fla Spirit Sword thrust forward!
SPLASH!
The massive water shield was shattered by the Fla Spirit Sword into a curtain of water. The next second, the sword reached the Fish Demon King’s back and pierced through it ruthlessly. The Fla Spirit Sword had penetrated his chest from behind!
Then, the Fish Demon King watched Xiao Xiao with eyes full of disbelief as his life faded away. Even in death, I can’t understand how I, a mighty Demon King with the strength of the Martial King Realm, was so thoroughly crushed by a girl in the Martial Spirit Realm.
Xiao Xiao clapped her hands excitedly. "Young Master, hurry and dissect the Fish Demon King’s corpse. Once we get the Demon Core, we can go back and save the Family Head!"
Hearing her words, Ye Qingchen snapped out of his surprise. "Xiao Xiao, I had no idea you were so powerful!"
Xiao Xiao pouted, looking sowhat unhappy. "The Young Master already praised
for that. Saying it again feels a bit perfunctory."
Ye Qingchen smiled and shook his head, not continuing the conversation but instead leaping onto the Fish Demon King’s corpse. The body was extrely tough, but with his superior-grade spiritual weapon, the Qingfeng Sword, Ye Qingchen was able to break it open. To his disappointnt, however, after dissecting the corpse, he couldn’t find the Demon Core within its organs.
Xiao Xiao jumped over. Seeing the empty innards, she frowned and said, "This Fish Demon King couldn’t have been an imposter, could he? So weak, he definitely wasn’t a real Demon King!"
Ye Qingchen shook his head. "This Fish Demon King’s strength was genuinely at the Martial King Realm, making him a true Demon King. Perhaps not every Demon King can nurture a Demon Core." He looked around at the boundless sea and continued, "It seems finding a Demon Core isn’t as simple as we thought. We must continue our search. The Demon Race has its own territories, and with a Fish Demon King here, it’s unlikely that other Demon Kings exist nearby. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, this Demon King targeted us because our Mist Spirit Boat was too conspicuous. Let’s switch to their ship and press onward."
Xiao Xiao naturally had no objections. The two of them boarded the fish demons’ ship, and Xiao Xiao retracted her Mist Spirit Boat, placing it into her storage ring. Ye Qingchen steered the ship, set a direction, and continued onward.
About half a day later, having lost track of how far they had traveled, Ye Qingchen saw a black dot floating on the sea from afar. His heart leaped with joy, and he steered the ship toward it.
As the black dot drew closer, Ye Qingchen saw that it was a small island. After sailing for so long, he felt sowhat tired. He steered the ship toward the small island. With any luck, I might encounter so mbers of the Demon Race and gather information, he thought.
Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao set foot on the island. The feeling of solid ground beneath his feet brought Ye Qingchen a sense of relief.
Xiao Xiao looked around and asked, "Young Master, are you hungry? Should I make sothing for you to eat?"
"That would be good," Ye Qingchen replied with a smile. "I’ll go catch so sea fish; we’ll make do with a simple al."
With that, Ye Qingchen took a spear from his storage ring. It was just a common Spiritual Artifact, a trophy from a past battle, but it was much better suited for catching fish than the Qingfeng Sword. With his perception, any fish that ca near the island could not escape his grasp. Soon, he had caught several sea fish weighing dozens of pounds each, along with so shrimp, crabs, and turtles.
Seeing Ye Qingchen’s bountiful catch, Xiao Xiao’s face lit up with joy. Then, under Ye Qingchen’s incredulous gaze, she took out pots, pans, ladles, and various seasonings from her storage ring.
"Xiao Xiao, you actually carry all this with you when you go out?"
Ye Qingchen’s lips twitched. Storage rings are extrely precious and their space is limited. Perhaps only Xiao Xiao would use that precious space for such miscellaneous items.
However, Xiao Xiao didn’t mind and instead smiled at him. "The Young Master may not know, but aside from cultivating, my greatest joy in the Wuji Immortal Palace was to hone my culinary skills! I was always thinking that one day, when I t the Young Master again, I’d make you a delicious al. Today, I can finally show off my skills."
Her words deeply moved Ye Qingchen. Even when we were apart, she was always thinking of . He approached her with concern, watching her busy figure. "Xiao Xiao, cultivating in the Wuji Immortal Palace must have been very hard, right? You’ve reached the Ninth Layer of the Martial Spirit Realm; you must have suffered a lot!"
As Xiao Xiao busied herself with preparing the fish, she replied, "Actually, it wasn’t too bad. I just ran the Cultivation Technique twice a day, which took about four hours. I spent the rest of my ti honing my culinary skills. Many of the seniors in the Wuji Immortal Palace praised my delicious cooking!"
Her words instantly turned Ye Qingchen’s concern into astonishnt. He gaped at Xiao Xiao and exclaid, "Just running the Cultivation Technique twice? For four hours a day?"
