NOVEL NEXT Chapter 330: One Against Three
Xiao Tong fell silent for a while before saying, "Host... your Golden Immortal Peak cultivation is much stronger than a regular one at that level. Taking on three at once, there shouldn't be a big problem."
Shi Nian let out a cold laugh twice, "Always trying to urge me to play it safe. Three members from the Demon Clan, right? Let's go wait for them to separate."
Shi Nian moved towards the direction guided by the system.
Xiao Tong heaved a sigh and collapsed.
It is what it is, she should have gotten used to the style of her host by now.
For some odd reason, she felt like shedding wide noodle-like tears.
They arrived at the place Xiao Tong had mentioned.
Shi Nian stopped ten kilometers away, then with her cane she brushed aside the system's interface and directly hid underground.
She lay in ambush here, waiting for one of the three from the Demon Clan to isolate themselves before striking immediately!
Xiao Tong didn't want to say anything more; she directly switched her function to the map feature to let Shi Nian pay attention to it herself.
As for her?
She was going to sleep it off.
Family, see you in eight years.
After being delayed for over a year in the Human World, and several more months spent rushing through the Immortal World,
Adding up, Lu Zhuoyan has only about eight years of lucidity remaining.
To save Lu Zhuoyan, in eight years, she should be making her move!
Xiao Tong turned over and went to sleep as expected.
Shi Nian ignored Xiao Tong, her interest piqued as she observed the small red dots on the system.
One day, two days.
The three members of the Demon Clan continued to drink and chat together, showing no inkling of separating.
Not until the tenth day.
It was then that the other two members of the Demon Clan bid farewell and left, while one of them, drunk, closed the door of his cave dwelling.
On one side were the two Demons.
On the other side was the one who had passed out drunk.
Speaking of an easy target, obviously it was the lone drunk one.
But he was in his own cave dwelling.
Generally, in one's own dwelling, there would be set up a few trump cards, and a direct assault might not end well.
What about those two Demons?
Don't they plan to separate?
Shi Nian couldn't resist inching closer slowly from underground.
Indeed, the two Demons showed no sign of parting and were heading straight for a Demon Clan city.
In that city, there were many red signals, even those of Peak Dark Demon level masters.
If there were any of Demon Emperor Level, the map didn't show it—it was possible there were none, or it might be that her cultivation was not high enough for the map to reveal them.
If those two Demons reach the city, then it would be difficult for her to make a move.
Now, whether to take this huge risk, Shi Nian was somewhat uncertain.
If time weren't pressing, Shi Nian could continue to wait.
But...
After all, she still needed to rescue her junior uncle.
Shi Nian bit her teeth.
All in!
This time, for her junior uncle, she completely went against her own life principles.
Fighting two at once!
This was such a challenging decision!
After some mental preparation, Shi Nian decisively burst out from the ground and initiated a sneak attack from behind.
Her cane, at this moment, turned into a blade and she thrust it towards the back of one Demon's head.
To her surprise, the Demon reacted in time, slightly shifting at the last moment. Although Shi Nian's cane still penetrated his head, it failed to hit the Demon Core!
The two Demons quickly distanced themselves from Shi Nian, warily eyeing her.
Especially the one whose forehead had been pierced, who was looking at Shi Nian with a face full of terror!
What is going on with this female Demon?
All of those who could survive in the Lost Land were hardened through tough experiences.
Without exaggeration, any Demon from here could go out and take on ten of the same level without a problem.
Yet even with such vigilance and strength, they had still been taken by complete surprise by Shi Nian's ambush.
The two Demons were somewhat panicked.
Little did they know that Shi Nian was even more panicked.
Oh heavens!
Her strike didn't kill him.
This was the first time she didn't finish her target with her full power!
This Immortal World is indeed too terrifying.
Little Martial Uncle, oh Little Martial Uncle! If I really do rescue you, how will you ever repay me for this great kindness and virtue!
Shi Nian, though terrified, clenched her teeth and immediately launched her second attack.
This time it was a frontal assault!
The two members of the Demon Clan fought back in panic.
With a sweep of the cane, one of the demons was severely injured, and the one who was already heavily wounded was swept to death.
The other demon dared not linger any longer and turned to run.
Shi Nian directly threw her cane at the fleeing figure.
Excellent, it hit right between the eyebrows.
The two demons died with their eyes wide open.
Shi Nian patted her small chest.
Horrible, absolutely horrible!
This time, she nearly capsized in the gutter. Luckily, she still managed to win by a narrow margin.
Shi Nian went over and took the Storage Bags from the two demons.
After a brief inspection, she was overjoyed.
These two demons were quite wealthy—combined, they had over a thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals.
Compared to the meager low-grade and middle-grade Immortal Crystals she had scraped together before, it was like striking it rich overnight.
Besides these two, there was still another one waiting for her.
Shi Nian immediately returned to the cave dwelling.
Without uttering a second word, she began attacking the dwelling.
"Who is it?" A not quite sober voice came from inside the cave dwelling.
Shi Nian continued her assault.
"Who!" This time, the voice was fully awake.
Along with the sobering up came a thunderous noise—the Barrier was broken.
The demon, about to express his anger, was suddenly faced with a sharp object stabbing towards his brow. A pale blue water screen appeared automatically at his forehead, blocking the attack.
Shi Nian was startled once again!
Damn it!
Her move failed to kill again!
If he doesn't die, it will be her death!
Under the immense fear, Shi Nian swiftly struck several times with her cane, finally breaking the Protective Shield.
The demon became thoroughly panicked and tried reasoning with Shi Nian: "Do you know who I am? I..."
Swish.
Shi Nian's final thrust, excellent, right between the eyebrows.
The demon looked at Shi Nian with some disbelief.
She... she just took action like that?
He hadn't finished his words yet.
He hadn't said that his master was a high-level powerhouse at the Peak of Dark Demon!
This is really damn...
The demon closed his eyes in despair.
Shi Nian took his Storage Bag and promptly made her escape.
In the cave dwelling, there seemed to be many valuable treasures.
But she couldn't stay any longer!
This demon, at the level of a Golden Immortal Peak, possessed an extremely expensive auto-activating Protective Shield, and the dwelling was so luxurious!
His status must be out of the ordinary!
If she lingered even a moment longer, she feared she wouldn't be able to leave!
Shi Nian used her fastest speed to make a frantic escape.
Shortly after her departure, a terrifying figure suddenly appeared in that dwelling—a tall, hideous male demon.
"Truly dead!" The face of the male demon became ugly at once.
He had plans to build his enterprise in the Lost Land; this male demon was a genius he had brought from the Demon World to cultivate.
He had even given him a precious Protective Demon Artifact.
The instant the Demon Artifact was activated, he rushed over here.
But the murderer escaped so quickly!
Seeing the untouched rare treasures all over the dwelling, the male demon narrowed his eyes, and his figure vanished from the spot.
This subordinate, now that he is dead, is of no use anymore.
But this was a member of the Demon Clan he had promised to protect, and he just died an inexplicable death.
If he doesn't handle this matter, how can he continue to be the leader?
"Search! Conduct a carpet search, and don't miss anything within a thousand miles," the male demon ordered coldly.
A group of demons below immediately sprang into action.
