Chapter 341: Chapter 201: Delivering a Treasure?

’Not bad, not bad.’

The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth turned up.

Although he had one more Divine Seed, the Demon Points needed for a breakthrough had increased to 340,000.

Currently, Gu Zheng had accumulated just under 265,000 Demon Points.

He was still short by 75,000 Demon Points.

’Time to keep going!’

He had to keep finding Demon Fiends to slay.

As for the Blood River Insect, he naturally stored it in the Insect Tower.

However, Gu Zheng wouldn’t hesitate to use it when the time was right.

The flesh and blood the Blood River Insect devoured wasn’t limited to just humans.

It could devour the flesh of Demon Fiends all the same!

At this thought, Gu Zheng soared into the air, listening to his surroundings. The next moment, he shot off toward his front right. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

On both sides of a street that had become a waterway, the terrified screams and agonized cries of the hiding civilians were unending.

RUMBLE~

Just as Gu Zheng flew over, a loud crash echoed as a house collapsed, revealing the scene inside.

Murky water had flooded the home, where ferocious Fishman Demon Fiends were swinging their sharp claws and attacking the civilians. Once they caught one, they would open their massive maws filled with sharp teeth and begin gnawing on the flesh and blood.

The scene was exceedingly bloody, with severed limbs and spraying blood everywhere.

The house had collapsed because the Fishman Demon Fiends were so powerful they had knocked down the walls.

SWISH SWISH SWISH~

Gu Zheng controlled his three hundred and sixty blades, sending them flying through the air.

Instantly, accompanied by piercing shrieks as they cut through the air, bursts of blood splattered as the Fishman Demon Fiends’ heads were shattered one after another.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +11]

[Demon Points +13]

...

’First-rank Demon Fiends?’

’This works too.’

After slaying the three Fishman Demon Fiends and collecting the Demon Points, Gu Zheng moved to another room and once again sent his blades flying.

SWISH SWISH SWISH~

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

The sound of the blades slicing through the air echoed continuously.

The sickening sound of sharp edges piercing flesh followed without end.

Whether they were first-rank or second-rank Fishman Demon Fiends, it made no difference.

Gu Zheng hovered in the air, his three hundred and sixty blades shooting about relentlessly.

He reaped the Fishman Demon Fiends’ lives, acquiring Demon Points.

As for the bodies of the Fishman Demon Fiends, he didn’t let them go to waste. He released the Blood River Insect to devour their flesh and blood essence.

And so, Gu Zheng would first slay the Fishman Demon Fiends, then collect the Demon Points, and finally let the Blood River Insect devour their flesh and blood essence.

In the process, he also saved the common folk who had been caught in this disaster.

It was truly a case of killing three birds with one stone.

Gu Zheng could clearly sense the power of the Blood River Insect growing stronger as it devoured more of the Demon Fiends’ flesh and blood essence.

His Demon Points were the same, accumulating little by little until they quickly surpassed five hundred.

However, before he had even finished clearing the street, the Fishman Demon Fiends further back seemed to hear the death shrieks of their brethren. One by one, they dove into the water and quickly submerged.

’Running away?’

Gu Zheng’s brows shot up.

’Since I’ve run into them, how could I pass up this rare chance to wipe them all out in one go?’

Instantly, Gu Zheng’s figure flashed as he dove into the water.

He activated his Underwater Walking Demon Technique, ignoring the water pressure and resistance as he moved swiftly beneath the surface.

The dark underwater environment didn’t affect him either.

As soon as he entered the water, Gu Zheng saw dozens of Fishman Demon Fiends who had escaped. They had stopped not far away, gathered together, and were making strange gestures and noises.

The moment Gu Zheng entered the water, they immediately sensed him.

Horrified, they decisively dove deeper, fleeing into the depths.

WHOOSH WHOOSH~

They were incredibly fast, their tails propelling them rapidly through the water.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Gu Zheng controlled his three hundred and sixty blades, sending them shooting out through the water.

The Power of Shattering Void from his Ten Thousand Blades Heaven Slaughter wasn’t just useful on land.

It could unleash its formidable power underwater all the same.

The three hundred and sixty blades transformed into three hundred and sixty beams of Sword Gang, remotely shredding and slaying more than half of the Fishman Demon Fiends.

One second these Fishman Demon Fiends were swimming rapidly, and the next, their bodies were torn to pieces.

Spirit Capturing, Spirit Capturing!

While chasing them down, Gu Zheng harvested the Demon Points.

As for the bodies of the Fishman Demon Fiends, the Blood River Insect once again quickly devoured them.

In the water, the Blood River Insect was even faster and more adapted.

However, the Blood River Insect was not in its insect form right now, but a pool of liquid.

It was a pool of blood, darting through the water.

It was even faster than Gu Zheng’s own swimming speed.

However, just as Gu Zheng was about to strike a second time, a faint light suddenly erupted from the remaining Fishman Demon Fiends. In the next instant, their speed skyrocketed, and they vanished from his sight.

’They used a Secret Technique?’

Gu Zheng sensed their energy signatures, burst forward in a sprint, and gave chase relentlessly.

After a few sprints, he successfully caught up to the fleeing Fishman Demon Fiends.

This time, however, Gu Zheng didn’t rush to release his blades. Instead, he let the few remaining Fishman Demon Fiends continue to flee.

Gu Zheng followed behind them, never falling back.

The chase continued until they entered a vibrant, colorful underwater world.

Clearly, this underwater world, infused with a Domain, was special.

’The Fishman Demon Fiends’ nest?’

Gu Zheng remained on guard.

’If there’s a fourth-rank Fishman Demon Fiend here, I’d better be ready to run.’

As he followed, the Fishman Demon Fiends up ahead seemed completely unaware of his presence.

Gu Zheng tailed them until they finally stopped at the edge of a trench.

The trench was about ten meters wide, filled with all sorts of glowing aquatic plants.

Hundreds, even thousands, of Fishman Demon Fiends swam through a winding network of intersecting trenches, which were divided into several distinct areas.

Gu Zheng’s gaze was immediately drawn to one spot.

It was at the junction of three trenches, on a slightly wider section of the trench floor.

There, a cluster of multicolored, translucent crystals was growing.

Among them, three crystals were particularly dazzling. Their ice-like crystalline shells were eye-catching on their own, but the flowing water within them moved and swirled like a river of stars, emanating a powerful, mystical aura.
