CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 173: THE HUNTING MOMENT

"It seems like we killed five of them head-on this time," Lin Bai smiled. "Your defensive array doesn’t seem to work either, does it?"

The faces of several Supremes of the Demon Clan turned rather unsightly.

The Charming Spirit Demon Clan had an especially grim expression, but still spoke coldly: "Ran Bi has already rushed over. Everything is over."

Indeed.

On the Water Mirror, despite receiving the latest updates, the speed of the Holy Daughter Ran Bi did not decrease at all.

She was soon to arrive at the scene of the incident.

The Demon Clan also noticed this and immediately became lively again.

"The Holy Daughter is coming!"

"The Holy Daughter will definitely make those two little rats die without a place to be buried!"

"No, those two little rats, they’ve run off again!"

At this point, Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan skillfully looted the corpses before rapidly leaving the area.

"Little Uncle-Master! The rest of the Demon Clan should be converging on us," Shi Nian said with sparkling eyes. "We’ll avoid the Demon Clan Saintess and hunt down the rest of the Demon Clan!"

"That’s easy!" Lu Zhuoyan, holding the compass, quickly pointed towards a direction.

The two immediately chased after the next Demon Clan squad.

Very soon, a squad of the Demon Clan appeared in their sights.

The squad of the Demon Clan had also noticed them. After witnessing two squads being annihilated consecutively, they immediately became alert.

"Human Clan! Found them! Quick, notify the Holy Daughter!"

This time, Shi Nian still patiently waited for them to send the message, then wiped out these five Demon Clan members in mere seconds.

Upon receiving the message, the Holy Daughter Ran Bi immediately headed towards the new site of action.

But by the time she arrived, aside from a trace of residual Demonic Qi, nothing else was left!

Those two from the Human Clan, they’d run off again!

Ran Bi stopped in her tracks, a flash of astonishing rage crossing the depths of her eyes.

Good.

Very good.

Are these two treating her like a fool to toy with?

Each time, she arrived as quickly as possible, but those two humans fled swiftly; by the time she got there, they had already gone elsewhere.

"Holy Daughter, those two rats are too fast," a member of the Demon Clan cautiously said.

The moment his words fell.

A new piece of information rang out.

The number of the Demon Clan had dwindled to 80!

In such a short time.

They had lost four squads in succession!

Those two from the Human Clan, do they not get tired at all when they take action?

"After continuously killing twenty of our Demon Clan, they should be reaching their limit," the Demon Clan Saintess said with a cold face. "I refuse to believe they can keep killing like this!"

The latest location had already been sent over.

"Continue the pursuit," the Demon Clan Saintess said coldly.

The Demon Clan Saintess was gambling.

Gambling that Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan were at the end of their rope.

She even indifferently thought that these two seemed somewhat tricky; just right, let the rest of the Demon Clan use their lives to wear them down a bit more.

That way, once she caught them, they would fall easily into her hands.

However.

The frenzied hunt continued!

The number of the Demon Clan quickly fell to 70.

Then to 60!

Ran Bi had been waiting for the speed of Shi Nian and company’s demon-killing to slow down, but all she was met with was the continuing news of the Demon Clan’s deaths.

An hour later.

The number of the Demon Clan was down to 50!

Originally, it was thought that the Demon Clan was hunting these two humans.

But now, the situation had suddenly reversed!

The convergence of the Demon Clan simply provided Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan the opportunity to hunt them instead!

The roles of hunter and prey, at this moment, were completely reversed!

The Demon Clan.

Now there was a continuous silence.

The Demon Clan Saintess and her ilk did not have a god’s-eye view and could not see the specifics.

But they could see all too clearly.

The fifty Demon Clan members that had died had not been able to inflict any harm on those two from the Human Clan at all.

Even more so, that male among them hadn’t even made a move yet.

Each time, that woman would throw out five silver needles instantaneously, and then, the battle was over.

Seeing how effortlessly she looked, her strength seemed utterly unimpaired!

How could this be!

Even for the Holy Daughter, facing consecutive battles with so many from the Demon Clan would cause considerable depletion.

But what about that human?

To her, killing demons seemed as simple as breathing.

How much energy does one expend in breathing?

That human was still in her prime state!

Ran Bi’s analytical words were heard by all.

At this moment, those demons wished they could rush in and tell her.

Stop waiting any longer.

That woman, more demonic than the actual demons, this delay won’t wear her down in the slightest!

Human Clan.

The originally despairing atmosphere was torn open by a glimmer of joy.

Many humans were watching the water screen without blinking, their eyes flickering with excitement.

Did the Human Clan actually have such a strong young genius?

What was her name?

Shi Nian!

Yes, Shi Nian!

She had previously led the disciples of the Divine Martial Sect to defeat the Demon Clan, and this time, by her own strength, she had slain fifty demons!

The Human Clan wasn’t completely hopeless after all.

Many were moved to tears.

This time, they had a chance to win, right?

Within the Divine Martial Sect.

It was a scene of jubilation.

"Look! That’s our sister Shi from the Divine Martial Sect. She’s ours, from the Divine Martial Sect!"

"Sister Shi, keep it up!"

"Sister Shi, slaughter all the demons!"

Some disciples of the Divine Martial Sect even left the sect to watch the water screen at the foot of the mountain.

Whenever they saw someone, they would start with: "Sister Shi is from our Divine Martial Sect."

Those around them would then look on with envy and admiration, asking them to share more about Shi Nian.

The disciple then became even more proud and began to talk nonsense: "Our sister Shi was not an ordinary person from birth. I heard that when she was born, dragons and phoenixes danced in the sky, and flowers bloomed in abundance..."

"At the age of three, when she came to the Divine Martial Sect, she exhibited terrifying talent..."

"She is always ready to lend a hand, amiable and approachable..."

"She respects elders and loves her peers..."

In a nutshell, Shi Nian was suddenly wrapped up as a symbol of perfection.

Everyone listened, utterly captivated.

One more honest disciple of the Divine Martial Sect remarked, "Sister Shi is a bit timid..."

He was immediately contradicted by the rest.

"What are you talking about? Is this timid? Shi Nian the hero represents both courage and strategy!"

"Right, this is called being cautious!"

"We should all learn from this hero’s quality of being prudent and taking action only after thorough planning!"

The Divine Martial Sect disciple quickly corrected himself: "Yes, yes, yes, I misspoke, it’s cautious! Cautious!"

Only then did the crowd let it go.

In just these few hours, Shi Nian with her terrifying battle record, had already become a national hero.

Lin Bai smiled happily: "Charming Spirit Demon Venerable, I should thank you for your Water Mirror! Without your help, our little Nian’s heroism wouldn’t have been seen by so many people."

The expression of Charming Spirit Demon Venerable grew colder, he couldn’t muster a smile anymore, but said coldly: "This temporary pride serves no purpose. Right now, she’s been avoiding Ran Bi, but can she avoid her for a lifetime? When they meet, she still faces a dead end."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow: "Speaking of which, I am quite curious, the Demon Clan treasures this Holy Daughter like a precious gem. If the Holy Daughter were to die, wouldn’t your Demon Clan... be heartbroken for a while?"

The expression of Charming Spirit Demon Venerable became even colder.

Heartbroken for a while was an understatement.

The Demon Clan had never seen the fall of a Holy Daughter before.

If the Holy Daughter really did fall...

The consequences were unthinkable for him.

But he quickly calmed himself down.

With a Holy Artifact in tow, Ran Bi was absolutely safe.
