Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Heavenly Demon Lethal Water

The Ice Demon Elder floated forward, and with a flick of his sleeve, a corrosive grey gas seeped out from his clothing.

Pshh!

The grey gas transformed into a ghastly poisonous snake that leaped forward and burrowed into Su Yumo’s body.

Immediately after, her eyes closed, and she collapsed into unconsciousness on the ground.

Leaning on his Snake Staff, the Ice Demon Elder staggered toward Su Yumo, preparing to manipulate the Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu within her body to fully mature her Yin Meridian, allowing him to absorb the Yin Evil Energy and further enhance his strength.

Although maturing the Yin Meridian prematurely would mean the Yin Evil Energy absorbed, not having gone through the transformation by the Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu, would not be the purest, meaning only a small part could be assimilated by him!

But at the moment, he could no longer afford to be particular; even if it was just a fraction, it would greatly advance his prowess, which was better than letting that brat spoil everything.

Boom!

Just then, an explosive collision sound came from outside the cave, shaking the ground like an earthquake and causing the entire cave to tremble.

This is bad!

Someone has broken in!

The Ice Demon Elder’s movements froze as this thought surfaced immediately, his face showing a shifting palette of expressions.

"Turtle ’n tortoise, grandson, hurry out and face your death!"

A booming voice came from outside the cave, echoing continuously within the narrow space.

Hearing this voice, the Ice Demon Elder’s expression changed drastically, and he abruptly turned to look toward the entrance, his face so dark with anger it seemed water might drip from it.

Unexpectedly, the very last person he wished to encounter had actually found this place!

The Ice Demon Elder couldn’t believe it. The cave’s location was exceptionally concealed, and without his guidance, blindly barging in would only lead to being lost in the vast mountains! He couldn’t comprehend how the other party had found it, and in such a short amount of time at that.

However, this wasn’t the time to ponder these questions. Now that he had been discovered by the brat, he only had one option left: escape!

"Damn it all! My carefully laid plans have all been for nothing."

The Ice Demon Elder clenched his teeth in a long sigh. Reluctantly, he knew he had no choice but to abandon Su Yumo and prioritize his own life.

Without hesitation, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his robe, tilted three drops of liquid into Su Yumo’s mouth, and then darted out of the cave to escape!

The person outside the cave was naturally Ye Xuan.

Upon entering the mountains, he locked onto the target location with his psychic sensing and penetrative eye, making the cave that was hard to find for others a piece of cake for him.

He quickly pinpointed Su Yumo’s hiding place and rushed there with incredible speed.

On arriving outside the cave, he saw the ground littered with poisonous snakes and insects, all under a fierce attack!

Ye Xuan showed no mercy and launched a powerful punch, exterminating all the poisonous snakes and insects on the spot.

He even caused the entrance of the cave to crumble to a large extent, leaving a massive hole in the ground!

After annihilating the swarm of snakes, Ye Xuan cursed at the cave angrily and then dashed inside without stopping.

In the meantime, he furiously circulated his internal energy, ready to deliver a fatal blow once he came face-to-face with the Ice Demon Elder.

The fact that this old coot had escaped last time and now had the gall to trouble him again and even plot to capture Su Yumo had completely enraged Ye Xuan.

Had he not arrived in time, Su Yumo’s fate could hardly be imagined; she would have been refined into a human Gu and devoured!

For such a vile person, sending him to Hell to repent would be the best resolution.

However, as eager as Ye Xuan was to fight, the Ice Demon Elder, having lived for so many years and being slier than a fox, had no intention of a battle but only to flee.

If he was not a match for this youngster in his prime, let alone his current condition, wouldn’t staying to fight mean certain death?

The Ice Demon Elder intended to live a few more years and certainly didn’t wish to die! So, his only option was to flee, and the further, the better.

After darting out of the cave, the Ice Demon Elder used all his might to flee, not even looking back in Ye Xuan’s direction, his escape even swifter than a rabbit’s, showing just how much he feared Ye Xuan.

However, how could Ye Xuan let this old scoundrel escape?

Last time he had let him slip through his fingers, which led to today’s crisis. If he allowed the Ice Demon old man to get away again, who knew what sort of trouble he might concoct next? Ye Xuan did not want to be constantly watched by a sly, venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Such a dangerous person must not be allowed to live and leave!

Whoosh!

Ye Xuan’s feet stomped the ground fiercely, and his speed skyrocketed.

Like a thunderbolt, he became a blur too fast for the naked eye, bringing with him a howling gale as he charged toward the Ice Demon old man!

"Old scoundrel, where do you think you’re going? Stay right there!" Ye Xuan shouted.

As the words fell, he had already appeared behind the Ice Demon old man, a rod’s distance away.

Then, with a flash in his eyes, he clenched his fist and aimed it at the old man’s back, unleashing a fierce punch!

With a splurching sound, a torrent of overwhelming Qi force burst forth, turning into boundless, raging waves, striking the Ice Demon old man’s back with the force of a thunderclap. It was like an exploding thunderbolt, the great surge of air flipping him away.

Thud!

Midair, the Ice Demon old man spewed a mouthful of fresh blood and crash-landed pitifully on the ground.

His entire complexion turned deathly pale; his meridians were in disarray, bones displaced, and his internal organs severely damaged—he had sustained life-threatening injuries!

Forcing himself to rally, the Ice Demon old man took out a Poison Pill and swallowed it, temporarily suppressing his injuries.

Swoosh!

Then, he sprang up from the ground, bearing the excruciating pain all over his body, and continued to accelerate forward, increasing the distance between himself and Ye Xuan, once again fleeing for his life.

"Brat, that girl has been poisoned with my Heavenly Demon Lethal Water, and within three minutes, she will breathe her last and die! If you want her dead, just try to chase me," the Ice Demon old man yelled over his shoulder as he desperately ran.

Having lived for so long, the Ice Demon old man always had a trick up his sleeve. He knew that if Ye Xuan caught up with him, his chances of escape would be slim.

Thus, before leaving, he had fed Su Yumo the Heavenly Demon Lethal Water, hoping to restrain Ye Xuan and deter him from giving chase!

This would greatly increase his own chances of escaping.

As for Su Yumo’s life or death, he had no choice but to make a decision. Either she lived, and his own life would be in jeopardy, or he would have to sacrifice this host body to secure his own escape!

Compared to his own life, the rarity of a Yin Meridian Body was less important.

If he lost his life, everything would be over. What use would a Stove be then?

Therefore, he decisively fed Su Yumo the Heavenly Demon Lethal Water, buying time for his escape!

The Ice Demon old man’s calculation was correct; indeed, Ye Xuan dared not continue the pursuit.

Once the Heavenly Demon Lethal Water was ingested, there were only three minutes left. He had to choose to save Su Yumo and give up chasing the Ice Demon old man. He couldn’t risk her life on a gamble.

But not chasing him didn’t mean he couldn’t kill him.

Ye Xuan’s eyes were brimming with the intent to kill; the Ice Demon old man’s actions had forged a resolve within him to end the man’s life!

To save his own skin, he had actually used someone else’s life as a bargaining chip. Such a vile person must not be left alive.

Boom!

Ye Xuan’s body surged with Qi force as he punched with all his might.

With a plop.

The Ice Demon old man spat out another mouthful of blood, was sent flying across the air, and crashed onto the ground, his breath hanging by a thread!

This punch pierced straight through the Ice Demon old man’s back, destroying his heart meridian. His lifeforce had been severed by Ye Xuan; he would not survive the night.

After landing the punch, Ye Xuan did not even look back as his figure swiftly turned toward the cave.
