Chapter 588: Chapter 582 Demon Infant

"What’s happening?"

Ye Xuan’s expression changed, this sudden change was not a good sign.

Whoo whoo...

A shrill sound echoed through the air, a slim and vague figure danced within the gray gloom, descending from the Demon Beast Mountain Range with the gray gloom, heading towards a distant icy pond.

"Is that sound possibly a Demon Infant?"

Lady Zi Ying’s expression changed as she involuntarily looked towards the direction of the sound.

"A Demon Infant? Do you know what level it is?"

Chi Yi, who had previously been arrogant, also quickly turned pale upon hearing the words ’Demon Infant.’

"A Demon Infant? As the name suggests, isn’t it just infants from your Demon Clan?"

Ye Xuan joked inappropriately.

"A Demon Infant is a type of powerful Demon Beast. Ideally, they should stay deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range and not come out easily. It’s unexpected that one would appear here," Zi Ying frowned.

"I don’t know what level this Demon Infant is. If it’s below Level 3, it would be manageable. But if it’s Level 3 or above, that would be troublesome," Chi Yi said, his face extremely solemn.

"Then what are we still doing here? Why aren’t we running?"

Ye Xuan glanced around, seemingly somewhat timidly.

"Once targeted by a Demon Infant, you can’t escape. We’ve already been surrounded. Human, if you want to live, obediently roll to the back," Chi Yi said dismissively.

Whoo whoo...

In the murky and strange miasma, the slender figures gradually became clearer—these were special Demon Beasts with human baby faces, pale and ghastly complexions, and full mouths of sharp teeth.

These Demon Beasts were about three meters long, with snake bodies, baby faces, ghostly white faces, and long fangs, resembling ghosts from the Netherworld.

Intense fluctuations of Demonic Qi emanated from these Demon Infants. These creatures possessed extremely special souls, seemingly having a peculiar soul fluctuation in their brain areas specifically targeting souls, endowed with a very special drawing power.

They moved swiftly; with a slight sway of their snake bodies, they could rapidly fly dozens of meters through the void.

In just a moment, three Demon Infants appeared, snapping their teeth and clawing, bearing down towards Ye Xuan and Zi Ying.

"Two Second-level Demon Infants and one Level 3 Demon Infant!"

In the midst of the miasma, seeing the three Demon Infants appear, Chi Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no Level 4 Demon Infant emerged; otherwise, they would be in danger. A Level 4 Demon Infant could pose a significant threat to their souls; but with just Level 2 and 3 Demon Infants, they could still cope.

"Chi Yi, watch them."

Lady Zi Ying instructed Chi Yi, then she shifted her gaze forward, formed a Hand Seal with her hands, and a triangular Light Array quickly converged between her hands.

"Go!"

The triangular Light Array formed between Lady Zi Ying’s palms emitted a green, mysterious glow, and after she pushed forward with both hands, it shot forth explosively, enveloping the leading Demon Infant.

Bang!

The green triangular Light Array, initially only the size of two palms, expanded rapidly upon deployment. The three edges precisely confined the Level 3 Demon Infant within and quickly disintegrated and melted it.

Whoo...

From the mouth of the Level 3 Demon Infant, a piercing scream echoed as the demon desperately struggled against the binding of the Light Array. Despite its inability to break free and its weakening strength, being a Level 3 Demon Infant, it thrashed about for some time without being completely annihilated.

"Annihilate!"

Led Zi Ying’s eyes void of any emotion, the word "annihilate" came forth, and the Level 3 Demon Infant ceased its screams, its body utterly disintegrated.

"Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo!"

At this time, the remaining two Ghost Infants screamed continuously, crying out sounds while responding noises occasionally came from deep within the nearby mountain range.

"It can’t be calling for its mother, right?"

Ye Xuan remarked, touching his nose.

"Shut up, or I’ll kill you."

Chi Yi glared fiercely at Ye Xuan, clearly out of patience.

"Perhaps he’s right."

Nevertheless, Lady Zi Ying maintained her indifferent demeanour, but she suddenly stared in one direction where an unprecedented massive soul pressure was locking onto their location.

"At least a Level 4 or higher Demon Infant, we need to leave quickly!"

Even someone with greater strength than Mo Shan, Zi Ying still felt panic upon hearing of the Level 4 Demon Infant, with no desire to fight but only to leave the area.

"Once a Demon Infant marks you, you can’t escape, can you? Those were your words just now."

Ye Xuan spoke as if the matter didn’t concern him. He wouldn’t mind if the two of them faced some trouble, which would allow them to leave more smoothly.

"Here it comes!"

Zi Ying’s eyes suddenly changed, her palm striking towards a direction. With her Hand Seal’s impact, an area exploded violently, revealing a shadow vastly larger than the previous three Demons.

A ghastly wail, like that of a vengeful ghost, issued from its mouth, sending shivers of instability through Ximen Ying’s soul, as if the roar alone could suck his soul out.

At the very moment the roar ceased, the Demon Infant’s eyes also brimmed with a terrifying murderous intent, making even Ye Xuan’s body slightly shudder.

However, its target was clearly not the three of them, but Zi Ying.

Evidently, the Demon Infant Zi Ying had just killed must’ve been a relative or offspring of this one.

As the Demon Infant prepared to attack Zi Ying, she reached out her hand first, taking out a black talisman from the Qiankun Ring and pressing it onto Ye Xuan’s body at an unreactionary speed before it promptly entered his body.

The talisman, as if alive, was automatically absorbed upon contact with Ye Xuan’s body, leaving a black curse mark.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Xuan was stunned, his expression souring slightly.

"Just to prevent you from escaping."

Zi Ying stated indifferently.

"What is this thing?"

Although Ye Xuan knew this woman might be tough to deal with, he didn’t expect her to act against him so abruptly. This black curse mark was likely some form of curse; he tried to remove it using True Yuan and soul power, but it wouldn’t budge.

"It’s something that will make you obey. With this curse mark, I can know your location within a specific range, and if you leave it, I’ll detonate the curse with a force equivalent to a full strike from a Demon Saint," Zi Ying said casually.
