63: Killing the clouded leopard mother and cub
"Snake demon, even if your calculations are good and your schemes are deep, I am not a fool. I notified my mother in advance. I cannot beat you, but a Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Cultivator is not someone you can handle."
Gu Yuchuan did not speak. His mind was racing, thinking about how he could survive. He did not want to die here, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not come up with a real way to survive.
At this moment, the Cloud Mist Spirit Leopard spoke. Her voice was very gentle, but her words were extremely cold: "Enough, say no more. Kill him quickly. I still need to return; this place is currently the Yao Race's territory, and it is very dangerous for me here. If I am discovered, I might also die here."
Just as she finished speaking, a voice rang out. Gu Yuchuan's expression was filled with wild joy; he would not have to die here.
"Since you know it is dangerous, yet you still dare to come, are you looking down on our Yao Race? However, since you have come, there is no way I will let you leave as you please. Prepare to die here."
The one speaking was none other than the Black Tortoise Demon General. Since he had become suspicious of the Cloud Leopard, he would not have entrusted such an important matter solely to Gu Yuchuan. Fortunately, he had kept an ace up his sleeve; otherwise, Gu Yuchuan would have had a hard time surviving.
The Cloud Mist Spirit Leopard's expression turned very ugly, but she did not beg for mercy, her tone remaining very tough: "A mere Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer Cultivator, I do not take seriously. If you are sensible, get lost immediately, and I will take my son and leave. Otherwise, if we fight, do not think you will survive."
However, clearly, the Black Tortoise Demon General had not come alone. A huge figure appeared; it was a mighty crocodile, his body filled with the scent of blood, and his cultivation was also at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. This person was none other than the Green Crocodile Demon General. Although he was not one of the four managing Demon Generals, he was a leader on the front lines, and his combat power was far greater than those managing Demon Generals. Although he only possessed the Bloodline of a High-grade Demon Beast, it was said that he had once defeated a Spirit Beast of the same Realm. With him here, everything was no longer a problem.
The Green Crocodile Demon General stepped forward, his tone extremely arrogant: "What? The Black Tortoise Demon General cannot kill you, but what about me? Today, let this seat see the strength of you, a running dog of the Human Race."
The Cloud Mist Spirit Leopard no longer had even a shred of arrogance; she even tried to run away directly. However, the Green Crocodile Demon General had been watching her all along and naturally would not let her escape. He stepped forward to intercept her, and the two began to fight. They were both Cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, even possessing the potential to reach the Golden Core Realm. Now that they were fighting, sand and stones flew everywhere.
Gu Yuchuan turned his gaze back to the Cloud Leopard: "Cloud Leopard, come on, let us continue. Let me see what other skills you have."
After speaking, he charged out directly. Beside him, two chains formed from water streams flew ahead first. He even spat out a cloud of Poison Mist. He had endured for too long; he wanted his enemy to die immediately. He did not want to see the other party again, which was why he had used so many methods all at once.
The Cloud Leopard was also a bit flustered. Having just experienced his mother fleeing, he did not know what to do, and then he encountered Gu Yuchuan's attack. He felt he did not know how to dodge. At this moment, because of excessive blood loss, he was a bit dizzy, and his strength was much worse than it had been just a moment ago.
Therefore, even though he began to counterattack and defend, he was still beaten into fleeing with his head in his hands, only able to dodge, with no way to retaliate. Gu Yuchuan, on the other hand, became happier the more he fought; he wanted to avenge all the hatred from his Simulation. The Black Tortoise Demon General, however, noticed his playful intent.
"Xiao Gu, do not create unnecessary trouble. Just kill him, to avoid any issues."
The Black Tortoise Demon General spoke, and Gu Yuchuan realized his mistake, breaking out in a cold sweat. Yes, killing is just killing; torturing people is not the way of the Righteous Path. He was walking the path of the Dragon, and the Dragon represented the Righteous Path; he could not be tainted by such Demonic Path methods. Besides, the opponent was a monster from the Beast Taming Sect; if it dragged on, who knew if something might happen.
He struck out with three drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water. This time, the Cloud Leopard had no ability to resist and was beaten into a meat patty. Unfortunately, with a Demon General watching, he could not devour the other party's essence; otherwise, he would be one step closer to the Foundation Establishment Stage, after all, it was a Qi Refining Great Perfection monster.
Just as things ended here, the Green Crocodile Demon General returned with the half-dead Cloud Mist Spirit Leopard. It seemed his combat power was truly terrifying; he had subdued a Cultivator of the same Realm so easily. Presumably, he must be at least a Cultivator with a Purple Mansion Dao Foundation; otherwise, he would not have such combat power.
He looked at the Black Tortoise Demon General, his voice loud and clear: "Black Tortoise, I have subdued this fellow. Her Dantian and Dao Foundation have already been damaged by me. Rest assured, she will no longer have any ability to resist. I will not interfere with how you interrogate her; I leave it to you. I am leaving first; the front line cannot do without me."
The Black Tortoise Demon General's attitude towards him was also very polite, and his tone was very gentle: "Alright, thank you for this time. Consider it that I owe you a favor. After the war ends, I will host a banquet and invite you to it."
The Green Crocodile Demon General was very happy. After all, the Black Tortoise Demon General's status was established. Being able to have him owe a favor and build some goodwill was a very good thing. However, he did not agree to it immediately.
"You say that, but it is all for the effort of the Yao Race. I did this, yet you want to owe me a favor? However, I will certainly eat at this banquet. Alright, I will say no more; we will meet again in the future."
After speaking, he left quickly. Gu Yuchuan and the Black Tortoise Demon General both examined the half-dead Cloud Mist Spirit Leopard. They looked carefully, and after a long while, the Black Tortoise Demon General finally spoke.
"Let's go, let's head back. Xiao Gu, you have made a great contribution this time. I will credit you with 100 military merit. Cultivate well; your cultivation is still too low. If you want to obtain resources during the war, your cultivation must at least be at the Foundation Establishment Stage. This is my advice to you; keep it up."
Gu Yuchuan was very grateful. He had no background, and he had never known about such things. Now that someone was willing to tell him, it was naturally for the best. He respectfully lowered his head and bowed.
"Thank you, Demon General. Rest assured, since I am one of your subordinates, I will have my own loyalty. In the future, I will repay you."
The Black Tortoise Demon General just nodded and said nothing, dragging the Cloud Mist Spirit Leopard forward. Indeed, whatever was said now would seem pretentious.
