Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 604: Chapter 271: Ji Yuan, the Insect Demon, Stands 10 Feet Tall

The Profound Turtle Zhenren at the mid-stage of the Golden Core felt the condition of his body, and spoke with extreme disdain.

After speaking, he cast a resentful glance at Ran Kui.

”If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up in this corpse.”

Ran Kui waved the Great Halberd in his hand, stirring countless spiritual lights, and said calmly:

”Rest assured, a corpse is your ultimate destination.”

The Profound Turtle Zhenren sneered and didn’t argue with him.

Ji Yuan saw this and realized that this old demon was indeed difficult to deal with because... he spoke little!

But soon he discovered that the Profound Turtle Zhenren’s gaze actually fell on him.

...No, why are you staring at me!

”Heh, of course, you are the one who must die, you cunning brat. If it weren’t for you wanting to act three days later, how could Li Yuan notice the anomaly?”

”If he hadn’t noticed the anomaly, how could he have used the array to remind you?”

The Profound Turtle Elder shook his head, ”It’s all because of you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come to this day.”

Ji Yuan said nothing, merely took a half-step back silently.

He was worried about attracting too much hatred, fearing that soon the old demon would specially target him for killing.

As for escaping... Outside there is the Island Protection Array blocking, inside there’s this old demon dragging.

Run?

If one is not resolved, there’s no way to escape.

Moreover, even if breaking through the array, being chased by a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator... there’s nowhere to run.

”You are not the Profound Turtle.”

Yun Qianzai suddenly spoke, then said with certainty: ”Who are you?”

”Profound Turtle?”

This elder sneered again, ”If anyone dares to put the name of that turtle head on me, I’m likely to bring out all his ancestors of eighteen generations and cruelly humiliate them!”

”You’re from the Shang Court!”

The previously silent Ji Yuan abruptly opened his mouth.

”Hmm?”

The elder looked up, his expression beginning to change, which was indeed a sneer.

”Shang Court? Heh, what counts is Shang Court, and yet it comes to ask favors from me?”

After speaking, though his stature was not tall, he swept his gaze over the four with disdain.

”I do not change my name when traveling, nor do I change it when sitting. The world calls me... Sea-Crossing Old Demon!”

After speaking, the Sea-Crossing Old Demon laughed with ”Hahaha.”

...Sea-Crossing Old Demon?

Ji Yuan reflected upon the memories in his mind, not having heard of this person, and before he could ask, the sound of the other senior brothers and sisters’ messages echoed in his mind.

”Never heard of it.”

”Never heard of him.”

”Don’t know where he’s from.”

”...”

The Sea-Crossing Old Demon laughed amid Ji Yuan’s divine sense, suddenly flickered a figure, just barely capturing it clearly, the figure had already stopped by the Sea-Crossing Old Demon.

It was a demon beast resembling a hyena, its body covered in dense black scales, eyes blood-red, and on its brow was a vertical pure white eye.

This demon beast’s two front legs slightly bent, hind legs motionless, the corners of its mouth baring fiercely, ready for a fight at any moment.

”Three-eyed Dark Beast... This thing is reared by the Sea-Crossing Old Demon!”

In Ji Yuan’s mind sounded Phoenix Peach’s transmission.

Ji Yuan gazed at the white vertical eye on the brow of the Three-eyed Dark Beast, inevitably recalling the time on Ice and Fire Island...when idly chatting at a feast with the Ice and Fire Elder in a dragon robe, that elder had mentioned his experience of slaying a Three-eyed Dark Beast.

He said the only weakness on the Three-eyed Dark Beast was precisely that white vertical eye on its brow.

Aside from that, hitting any part of its body had little effect.

Unless there was a significant difference in cultivation, enough to kill it in one blow... otherwise, one must aim for that vertical eye on its brow, yet that is also where the Three-eyed Dark Beast’s attack is strongest.

It sends forth a high-temperature ray from the vertical eye on its brow, an immensely destructive force, that almost no one at the same cultivation level can withstand.

Upon learning about the Three-eyed Dark Beast, Ji Yuan carefully considered.

Thinking it over, he found he had something on him that could perfectly counter the Three-eyed Dark Beast, that is... the Spirit-Devouring Bee!

This dense swarm, to attack such a small area, is extremely useful, and with the Three-eyed Dark Beast’s fast speed, the Spirit-Devouring Bee’s short-distance moving speed is likewise fast.

Even if the Three-eyed Dark Beast employs the power of its brow’s vertical eye, the Spirit-Devouring Bee can evade by scattering.

Then even if some Spirit-Devouring Bees are unfortunate enough to be hit, most should be unaffected.

Ran Kui, closest, had begun to plan tactics again, transmitting his voice:

”Later, I’ll hold off the old demon, second brother, you first break open the Black Dragon Island’s Island Protection Array, third brother, leave the Three-eyed Dark Beast to you, fourth brother... you are not strong enough, act when prepared, you also know the array, see if you can assist third brother.”

His voice barely fell when Ji Yuan immediately transmitted to his senior brothers and sisters.

”Leave the Three-eyed Dark Beast to me, I have the means to deal with it, third sister, see if you can assist first brother.”

”What? Little junior brother, you...”

Phoenix Peach, hearing Ji Yuan planned to handle the Three-eyed Dark Beast alone, was quite surprised.

But before she could finish, Ji Yuan had already cut her off with just three simple words.

”Trust me.”

Because...the Sea-Crossing Old Demon was moving!

As soon as he struck, his target was naturally the nearest Ran Kui. He leapt from the Dragon Chariot, instantly turning into billowing black smoke, overwhelmingly pressing down on Ran Kui.

Meanwhile, bolts of purple thunder accompanied, crashing down from the sky.
