Chapter 126: So You're the Master of Blackstone Pool?
Chapter 126: So You're the Master of Blackstone Pool?
The tranquil cold pool resembled a green jade, gradually turning pitch-black as it deepened.
The massive Toad Demon Lord's body moved nimbly, its legs pushing off, and it descended another hundred zhang downwards.
Until it landed on a huge, smooth boulder, it crawled its body, and its two bulging eyes filled with annoyance.
It shouldn't have been greedy and spared Liu Bin's life.
Knowing this beforehand, it would have been better to take the risk of being pursued by the Demon Subduing General, consuming him, and gambling on the possibility of another breakthrough. After all, it was hiding in the cave, and staying there for a few hundred years wouldn't be a big issue.
Recalling the earlier ink-clad figure, the Toad Demon Lord's heart surged with murderous intent.
Having lived for so long, under the protection of the cold pool, it had never suffered such a loss.
Unfortunately, there was also a Core Formation Realm warrior nearby, or else it would have taken the boy's life today, using its body-tempering cultivation to sacrifice to its Inner Organ Shrine.
"Forget it, forget it. I've managed to survive for so many years, why bother with this momentary anger? I'll take good care of myself for a while, then go to Qingzhou for a refreshing feast."
The Toad Demon Lord's mindset was actually quite good, or else it wouldn't have accumulated over four thousand years of cultivation.
It completely lay down, ready to rest.
Just then, its two enormous eyes looked up in surprise.
Following that, the surprise turned into boundless rage.
"Good, good, good! I've seen those who rush to deliver gifts, but never those who rush to deliver their lives!"
The Toad Demon Lord's anger wasn't solely due to the loss it suffered during the previous encounter; it was mostly because of the trampling of the Demon Lord's authority.
It was the Blackstone Pool Demon Lord, and it didn't matter elsewhere, but in this cold pool, even if the Demon Subduing General came, he would have to kneel before it!
The next moment, its massive body suddenly surged, turning into a shadow, silently covering the youth's thin body.
"Do you think that with your body-tempering cultivation, you can go anywhere in the world?"
The deep voice directly pierced Shen Yi's eardrums, and the Toad Demon Lord didn't even have the intention to ambush. As the master of Blackstone Pool, it knew that this bone-chilling cold could pose a great threat to the warrior.
"I'll teach you the meaning of humility."
As he spoke, the round and sturdy toad leg viciously stomped down, determined to reclaim the loss it suffered, with interest!
The pitch-black water waves instantly surged and rolled.
The enormous foot was like a giant hand covering the youth's body.
The next moment, a ceremonial saber accurately slashed at the fork between the toes, still with the same unstoppable force, cutting all the way to the front legs.
The emerald blood blended into the water flow, slowly dispersing.
The Toad Demon Lord let out a more miserable wail than before, and it retreated dozens of zhang, both front legs were split like tree branches by the same saber.
Instinctively, it released countless poison arrows from its hollow cavities, viciously shooting forward!
Before it could take a closer look, a sharp edge emerged from the front, carrying a powerful demonic energy that was no less than its own, slashing down from above!
The enormous eyes burst like pig bladders.
The three-foot saber blade sliced off a large piece of flesh, then pierced horizontally into its skull.
In just a few breaths, the Toad Demon Lord didn't even understand what had happened, and it fell downwards.
In the blurry vision, the ink-clad youth stood calmly, and the toxic waves mixed with the chilling water couldn't get close to him. Stepping on the hidden currents, his pace was neither hurried nor slow, like an underwater king.
He slightly extended his hand, and the bone-chilling dark currents automatically parted, his posture casual, as if it were a natural ability.
"I am the master of Blackstone Pool!"
The Toad Demon Lord let out a sharp howl, its red tongue shot out like a sharp sword, viciously stabbing forward.
Shen Yi stared at it, his dark pupils filled with a rising crimson mist, and his palms clenched slightly.
The raging dark currents instantly enveloped the Toad Demon Lord's tongue, followed by its limbs, and finally, its entire massive body.
The endless force seemed to crush it within.
For many years, the Blackstone Pool had been the Toad Demon Lord's most trusted sanctuary, but at this moment, it revealed its sinister side.
The enormous demon body struggled frantically.
Shen Yi waded through the waves, his bony fingers resting on the demon's tongue, and the surging demonic energy erupted between his fingers, reducing the entire thick red tongue to a pile of minced meat.
The Toad Demon Lord's brain was bombarded with continuous excruciating pain, leaving it somewhat numb.
At this moment, only one thought remained in its mind.
Escape! Escape from the Blackstone Pool! He wasn't facing an ordinary warrior but a ferocious water demon!
It struggled with all its might to break free from the water's constraints and desperately rushed upwards.
Shen Yi glanced back at the fleeing giant shadow with a hint of reluctance.
He had actually felt quite comfortable in the cold pool, as if he had returned home.
With a slight movement of his divine sense, a cold current carried him swiftly in pursuit.
...
On a low hill surrounding the Blackstone Pool.
Xiao Qianwei forcefully pushed Liu Bin's head into the muddy ground.
The white-bearded old general's mouth was filled with mud, and he continued to emit a low laugh from his throat, mumbling, "What are you waiting for? For him to crawl out of the pool? Or for the Toad Demon Lord to digest him and then come up to eat us all?"
"Tsk...If you want to see You Longtao, bring him here...I want to see if he can make it out alive..."
Hearing his annoying words, Xiao Qianwei's expression remained indifferent. She turned to the side and said, "Give me a short blade."
Several assistant captains hesitated and approached, handing her a sharp short blade.
Xiao Qianwei took the blade and abruptly lifted Liu Bin's head from the ground, then stabbed it into his mouth and stirred it with a swift reverse motion.
The mud mixed with the tongue was instantly shredded.
She threw away the blade, grabbed Liu Bin's hair, covered his mouth, and forced him to swallow the tongue meat and mud.
"Huff."
Xiao Qianwei let out a long breath, grabbed the old man by the hair, and stood up, unable to resist glancing back at the cold pool once more.
A sea of doubts filled her mind, not knowing whom to confide in.
Why? She had clearly told him that the demon guarded by her personal assistant captains was so formidable that even the Demon Subduing General would find it challenging to deal with.
She had even agreed to try to subdue the Toad Demon Lord outside the Blackstone Pool.
In fact, she had already done more than enough; it was simply a matter of the conditions not being ripe, yet the other party was still dissatisfied and had casually ventured into that deadly place.
"If you show that nauseating smile again, I guarantee you won't get the chance to see You Longtao with the next blade."
Xiao Qianwei collected her thoughts and glanced at Liu Bin.
The old man, with the Demon Chain piercing through his Pipa bone and Qi Sea, felt content even after having his tongue cut off.
He was already a dead man, and the fact that the boy who had killed him would accompany him in death was a blessing from the heavens. How could he not be pleased?
Over a hundred captains bowed their heads. Although Liu Bin was indeed a bit crazy, his words were not mere nonsense. The extremely cold pool, the bone-chilling poison, and a demon lord who, despite being heavily injured, still possessed formidable strength...
Fearing that their tongues would also be shredded, they forced themselves to maintain a calm expression and silently followed Xiao Qianwei back to the other side.
Suddenly, an overwhelming wave of water surged upwards, reaching dozens of zhang high, and a putrid demonic aura enveloped the surroundings, casting an endless shadow.
Everyone turned around in shock.
The massive Toad Demon Lord, towering like a mountain, was the only one who could be seen.
