Chapter 8: The Devil's Dance

  Hei Yu led the way forward, Xiao Ji and the four refined Quadruple Beast Kings closely followed behind, and further back was a massive army of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts.

  Xiao Ji led the 5,000 demonic beasts that had just been allocated to him, as well as ten team leader-level demonic beasts who were at the third level of Body Refining, and turned his head to look at the four demonic beasts who were also at the fourth level of Body Refining like himself.

  There was a clam, a shrimp, and two black carp, all of which were fourth-level refined bodies and high-ranking demon beasts. Each of them also had 5,000 demon beasts under their command, as well as ten captain-level demon beasts.

  All kinds of sea monsters are strange and bizarre in appearance, and there are even some sea monsters like snails that swim in the water.

  "Alright, the battlefield is just ahead. We need to speed up and catch up quickly!" Black Fish Commander shouted in his loud voice after scouting out the front.

  Xiao Ji gazed out, and in the distance of tens of kilometers ahead, he could vaguely see countless sea monsters entangled in battle. Countless beastly shadows appeared amidst them, and even more unknown sea monsters emerged without warning, swallowing large numbers of sea monsters in one bite, leaving Xiao Ji's heart somewhat shaken.

  "It seems that this time, the one who came should be a demon beast under King Jin Chan. The one who fought with me was a five-elemental octopus demon beast, and I had dealt with it before. It is one of the leaders under King Jin Chan." The Black Fish Lord stared intently at a huge brown octopus in front of him, while turning his head to say to Xiao Ji: "You are a new general who has just joined our side, remember the aura of our demon beasts, which is vastly different from that of the enemy's demon beasts." The Black Fish Lord peeled off a piece of shiny black fish scales and handed it to Xiao Ji.

  "Feel the aura of our demonic beast carefully, don't mistakenly kill it later. With this black fish scale, our demonic beast won't attack you either." The Black Fish Overlord handed the black fish scale to Xiao Ji after speaking, and didn't wait for his response before loudly shouting:

  "Monsters of all tribes, follow me and kill!" The Black Fish leader let out a heaven-shaking long whistle, charging towards the countless monsters.

  Xiao Ji and the other four were all tall and majestic, closely following Hei Yu's lead, bringing with them tens of thousands of demonic beasts, charging into the midst of countless demonic beast hordes.

  Xiao Ji's mouth was biting on a black fish scale of the Black Fish Overlord, using his own spiritual sense to identify the enemy demon beast, and it was easy to distinguish them.

  The fish scale smell in Xiao Ji's mouth was similar to some strange and slightly bitter smell, while the demon beast on Jin Chan Wang's side had a very strong bloody smell, which made it easy to distinguish between them.

  One tail pulled a blue, two-tiered, demonic beast apart, its bones cracking and flesh bursting. Its body quickly wrapped around another three-tiered, sea shrimp-like creature, directly strangling it to pieces, swallowing it whole into its belly, finally alleviating Xiao Ji's starving stomach.

  Xiao Ji's body would mysteriously disappear every time he killed a demon beast, which was actually Hao helping Xiao Ji collect the demon beasts' blood.

  Two fish-like demons were engaged in a fierce battle, when a captain-level fish demon suddenly turned around and bit one of the enemy demons to death. However, it found that the body of the killed demon mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Although this captain-level triple-refined demon was somewhat astonished, its eyes had already turned red from killing, so it didn't care about these things and instead charged towards other demons in another direction, continuing the slaughter.

  The seawater at the bottom of the sea was all dyed red with blood, and countless monsters were fighting in the water, which was extremely tragic. However, strangely enough, not a single corpse could be found, but this did not affect the battle between the two major opposing monsters.

  Once again, a squid-like demon beast was strangled to death. Within several dozen feet around Xiao Ji, not a single local demon beast existed. Some of the Golden Toad King's powerful subordinates also took notice of Xiao Ji.

  "This little snake is quite interesting, it specifically targets those four-star or lower demon beasts and never dares to provoke the four-star ones. It seems like a clever guy. However, being a clever guy in the enemy's camp isn't exactly a good thing." On the side of Jin Chan Wang, a large, unevenly-colored brown toad with bulging eyes gazed at Xiao Ji from atop a mound of earth, resembling a small mountain.

  "General Qingyuan, wait for me to catch that little snake and make a snake stew for you." Beside him was a silver-white eel, about six feet long, with sharp teeth exposed outside, not doubting its ability to bite through steel.

  "It's time for you to take action, Silver Belt General. The glory of the Golden Toad King will be yours, I hope you won't disappoint me." Green Toad General smiled with narrowed eyes at the silver-white belt fish.

  "I dare not disobey!" The silver-white belt fish saluted the green toad, then its body flashed like lightning, cutting through the seawater and rushing straight towards Xiao Ji's direction.

  "General Qing Yan, is it necessary for the Silver Belted Great Leader to take action personally against just a small fourth-order snake-type cultivator?" A pale yellow seahorse beside him cautiously glanced at Qing Yan and asked in a low voice.

  "Huh? What, are you questioning my decision?" The toad, like a small mountain, turned its head and stared at the seahorse, which was like an elephant compared to an ant.

  "How dare I, how dare I have even a slight doubt about your decision, sir. I just think that using the power of the Silver Belt Great General to defeat a small four-stage green snake is... perhaps too much?" Hai Ma repeatedly kowtowed and replied with trepidation, fearing that one misstep in his response would lead to his own death.

  The green frog's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the seahorse, its tongue suddenly darted out and tightly wrapped around the seahorse, which was only the size of an ant in the frog's eyes.

  Hai Ma was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body, and he begged for mercy repeatedly:

  "Green cicada general spare life! It's not right for me, I've been tricked by you! You've tricked me!"

  The green frog didn't bother with idle chatter, and swallowed its tongue along with the seahorse into its belly.

  "This is the intention of Jin Chan Da Wang and other high-ranking officials, how can you little monsters guess it? You're really looking for death!" Qing Chan Da Jiang looked around with his protruding eyes, and indeed, all the demons around him were trembling with fear, not daring to speak again.

  The green mantis general nodded in satisfaction and looked towards the battling demon beasts.

  "The Silver Ribbon General has approached the green snake, and should be able to strike it down with one move." The Blue Toad General crouched on a small hill, watching the battlefield ahead with great interest.

  Xiao Jie had just cleared the surrounding area of demonic beasts and was preparing to rest. Although the ones he killed were all below the fourth level of Body Refining, the prolonged battle had still consumed a lot of physical strength. If it weren't for his own cultivation at the fourth level of Body Refining, where his physical strength and endurance had increased several times over, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

  At this moment, a warning voice from Huan echoed in his mind:

  "Be careful, an enemy with a cultivation of Seventh Heaven has entered the demonic beast group."

  Xiao Ji was taken aback by this, these chaotic demon beasts were mostly at the first to third level of body refinement, with the strongest being at the fifth level of bone refinement realm.

  Although this demon beast is not an opponent for Xiao Ji, in a chaotic battle with so many demon beasts, escaping is not a problem. However, if one encounters a demon beast that has cultivated its body to the seventh level, there might not even be a chance to escape, and it would be killed instantly.

  "In which direction is that monster?" The monster looked around and asked.

  "Not good, that guy is rushing towards you at high speed, be careful, if not, hide in the treasure space." Huo's urgent voice reached Xiao Ji's mind, making Xiao Ji's heart tighten as well.

  A silver-white ribbon-like fish, about six feet long, gazed over with cold eyes, and approached Xiao Ji rapidly, like a flash of lightning cutting through the water.

  At this moment, a five-heavy demon beast under the Water Ape King, a dark green big-mouthed fish, suddenly launched a sneak attack and bit into the abdomen of a silver-white striped fish that was darting around like lightning.

  That majestic-looking big-mouthed fish's eyes gleamed with a hint of satisfaction as its large mouth exerted great force.

  The strongest part of the big-mouthed fish is its large mouth, which has as many as 26 huge and extremely sharp teeth. Generally, other fish that fall into the mouth of the big-mouthed fish will not be able to escape.

  The big-mouthed fish, which had initially shown a triumphant expression, was stunned. It could not have imagined that the silvery white giant belt fish's seemingly soft belly would not be harmed in the slightest by its razor-sharp teeth, and did not even leave a mark.

  "You think you can harm me with your insignificant existence? You're really looking for death!" The massive belt fish stopped its body, and its eyes emitted a fierce light. Its tail struck the back of the big-mouthed fish at an incredible speed that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

  "Crack!"

  A loud crack, and the body of the big-mouthed fish was actually split into two pieces by the huge force from the tail of the striped bass!

  There is only a thin layer of skin connecting them, looking extremely bloody!

  A gigantic silver-white striped fish, after seeing the corpse of a big-mouthed sea fish, revealed a hint of a smile. In the fearful gaze of nearby demonic beasts, it stared straight at Xiao Ji.

  Xiao Ji was also shocked in his heart, that big-mouthed sea fish was a fifth-level Body Refining cultivator - Bone Forging Realm, although it had not yet reached the Great Perfection stage, but its skeletal system was comparable to steel, however, even so, all the bones in its body could not withstand the power of a single tail of the silver-white striped fish, let alone the big-mouthed sea fish's strongest and sharpest teeth which couldn't leave any marks on the silver-white striped fish.

  "This is the power of the Seventh Realm of Body Refining? It's completely comparable to a top-tier martial artist!" Xiao Ji's heart was secretly shocked, that silver-white striped fish had just one tail and it could kill a Fifth Realm demonic beast that was even stronger than himself in body refining, so wouldn't he be unable to withstand even a single move from the opponent?

  "This little guy is quite interesting, I've never seen you before, are you a newly promoted Doulong-level demon beast?" The silver-white striped fish slowly swam towards Xiao Ji, the nearby demon beasts making way for it, afraid of being attacked by this extraordinary demon beast.

  Xiao Ji nodded slightly:

  "Right, who are you?"

  Silver-white striped fish, heard it and laughed.

  "Not a single low-level demon beast dared to speak to me like that, but today I'm in a good mood, so I'll tell you. I am one of the great generals under King Jin Chan, the Silver Ribbon Fish General."

  The Silver Ribbon Fish Sovereign said, already approaching Xiao Ji.

  "I came here just for——"

  As he spoke, the Silver Ribbon Fish Grand Commander stared intently at Xiao Ji, revealing a hint of cruel smile.

  "Kill you."
