Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1606 - 431: Have a Taste First, Sneak Attack

...In the Abyss, a large number of demons were still charging, but more and more demons found that halfway through, the demons in front suddenly froze, unmoving.

The moment they crossed a certain boundary, they raised their heads and stood there blankly.

And after the Great Devil rushed out, there was no more movement, some demons vaguely glimpsed part of the Great Devil's body, just lying at the edge of the Abyss Rift Valley, motionless.

Large groups of demons began to retreat, starting to fear, because they didn't understand and were filled with fear towards this unknown yet terrifying thing.

The large group of demons retreated, but the hungry ghosts grew anxious. Those still hiding, or retreating to the sides, immediately thronged forth to trap these demons entering the Abyss Rift Valley.

Within the Abyss, the gradually arriving Great Demons received no signals, nothing at all. They didn't know what was happening on the other side and dared not rush inside rashly.

When the scattered demons returned alive to tell the other Great Demons, the three giant sharks had just gone over but fell silent beside the Abyss Rift Valley. The first wave of assault, thus, came to an end just like that.

If they hadn't feared for their lives, and blindly rushed through, they might indeed have broke through the Abyss Rift Valley's boundary, and conveniently rescued the three giant sharks.

Unfortunately, among the demons, there was no habit of rushing to help others when witnessing danger.

The last possible opportunity to rush through was gone like this, all afraid of being the first to block the blade.

Time flew by day by day.

The huge three-headed giant shark's form gradually faded until even the connections between the three heads had broken off, each head only half remaining.

In the huge black cauldron, the soup bubbled, the three shark heads stood within, staring dazedly at the sky.

To this point, the Great Devil was not yet dead, but completely powerless to resist.

As the three heads submerged into the black cauldron, the simmering black cauldron suddenly began to violently boil, bubbling as Demonic Qi erupted out.

Just like a fish tossed into a hot pot, it fluttered one last instinctive time.

Slowly, the violently boiling soup calmed, the Demonic Qi dissipated, and the rich scent of the broth began to permeate the air.

Just a light whiff already felt like fullness, the Qi-Blood began to rise.

"It's ready, those eager can have a taste now."

The chef hungry ghost called out, took out a wooden ladle and spoon, sprinkled a little salt into the bowl, and turned to ask Zhong Shouzheng.

"Senior, do you eat scallions and coriander?"

Zhong Shouzheng's expression was a bit complicated, he hadn't asked because he was eager to eat.

Just seeing the chef hungry ghost's beaming smile and sense of accomplishment, Zhong Shouzheng sighed inwardly.

"I'm not picky, I'll have it all."

"Alrighty."

The chef hungry ghost, somehow producing chopped scallions and adding a bit of coriander, scooped a ladle of thick soup with a piece of tender meat into the wooden bowl.

The aroma was almost visible, twirling and rising.

Zhong Shouzheng held the wooden bowl, smelled the rich scent, grinned, and sipped the rare thick soup from the edge.

...

On the Immovable Continent, Yu Ziqing was still waiting here for Yang to refine the Black Mountain, when he received news from the Hungry Ghost Trading Company.

The battle had reached a certain stage, at least currently under control, and an overview was briefed to Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing was very comforted, none of the top experts at home had to step in, and the problem was solved, carefully considering, which was quite normal.

With nothing wrong back home, he could let loose.

Yang was almost done refining, Jiu Nian himself hadn't come, nor had anyone else to rescue the Black Mountain Demon King.

Yu Ziqing felt a slight regret.

It seems Jiu Nian intends to breach the contract again.

Which was fine, Yu Ziqing truly worried about Jiu Nian toughening up once, honestly fulfilling the agreement and coming here for a direct confrontation.

Just contemplating this, Yu Ziqing's hair stood on end, a sense of crisis appeared and instantly exploded in numbers.

His body moved, instantly shifting dozens of meters horizontally, while the village chief simultaneously, Qi and Blood surged, reaching out a hand to grasp towards here.

The next moment, a dark light left a track in midair, passing through where Yu Ziqing stood just now, avoiding the village chief's hand, straight towards the array set by Yang.

A hum of low buzzing only then followed from behind, exploding in place.

Yu Ziqing squinted his eyes slightly, the Array's defense above, intense spirit light ripples spread continuously.

There, the waving Array Flag slowly transformed and vanished, leaving only spirit light floating.

A palm-sized black scale, initially aimed at the Array Flag, now spun and collided with the Array's defense, the rapidly spinning scale slowly slicing through the spirit light and into the array.

At this moment, Yu Ziqing wishing to do something was already too late, the village chief couldn't stop it either.

The real target was Yang's array, Yu Ziqing was merely a distraction to draw everyone's attention.

Clearly, everyone on site valued Yu Ziqing's safety more.

The black scale spun into the spirit light, disappeared into the array.

Yu Ziqing took a step, closely followed into Yang's Refining Array.

As soon as he entered, he saw flags thousands of meters high interconnected, Yang had already transformed into his True Dragon form, guarding the core of the array.
