Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Persuading to Surrender

"Damn it!"

After exchanging dozens of blows with Shu Feng and suffering numerous gashes, a vicious glint flashed in the Sea Demon Association Leader’s eyes. He took out a small, ink-black arrow engraved with skulls and threw it at Shu Feng.

Instantly, black skulls materialized around the small arrow, and a wave of eerie, evil sounds bored into Shu Feng’s ears.

Blood immediately gushed from Shu Feng’s ears. Overcome by a wave of Dizziness, he twisted his body desperately, but the small black arrow still pierced through his abdomen.

The black arrow was an incredibly evil and bizarre Secret Treasure. Even with his powerful resistance, Shu Feng wasn’t completely immune to its interference.

A terrifyingly potent poison surged out from the black arrow, only to transform into an immense amount of Profound Qi that nourished Shu Feng’s body and soul.

"Han Feng, you’ve been struck by the Corpse Saint Rot Poison! You’re a dead man! Surrender now, and it might not be too late!"

A vicious glint flickered in the Sea Demon Association Leader’s eyes. The phantom of a Demon Sea appeared behind him. Though his words urged surrender, his claws shot out like Lightning, aiming to viciously tear into Shu Feng’s heart and brain.

"Fool!"

A mocking glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He executed the Prison Void Demon Step, vanishing in an instant and reappearing behind the Sea Demon Association Leader. His blade, as swift as a beam of light, slashed viciously toward his back.

"How is that possible? You were clearly hit by the Corpse Saint Rot Poison! That’s a terrifying poison that even a Martial Saint would struggle to resist! Why can you still move?"

A look of utter horror flashed in the Sea Demon Association Leader’s eyes. He executed the Sea Dragon Dragon Body Technique, his body twisting in an incredibly bizarre manner to avoid a fatal blow.

The blade’s light flashed across the Sea Demon Association Leader’s body, carving a gash on his back so deep the bone was visible. A torrent of blood spewed from the wound, splattering across the ground.

The Sea Demon Association Leader gritted his teeth, and with a wave of his hand, a Black Skull flew out.

Countless bizarre, mysterious runes materialized on the Black Skull. Streams of black smoke, like living Poisonous Flood Dragons, spewed from its seven orifices and shot toward Shu Feng.

"Shatter!"

’Danger!’ Alarm bells screamed in Shu Feng’s mind. He instinctively sensed a terrifying killing intent hidden within the black smoke. Frantically channeling his Profound Qi, he unleashed terrifying waves of Sword Qi that slashed directly at the black smoke.

The streams of black smoke were instantly shattered by the strikes of the Profound Qi-infused blade light.

Suddenly, six streams of light merged into one, forming a five-meter-long blade of flowing light that slashed down upon the Black Skull, shattering it to pieces.

The Sea Demon Association Leader seized the opportunity to fly a hundred meters away, fleeing frantically toward the sea.

’This Sea Demon Association Leader is definitely no simple character. He seems to be an important pawn of the Void Demon Clan! I must capture him alive, or kill him outright!’

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he watched the fleeing Association Leader. He executed the Prison Void Demon Step and shot off in pursuit.

The three great worlds currently resisting the Void Demon Realm’s invasion near Blue Star were Gulondo World, the Black Tortoise Realm, and Andoras World.

These Three Great Realms had drawn the attention of many Divine-level Powerhouses from the Void Demon Clan, which was the only reason Blue Star’s situation was relatively stable. If any one of those realms were to fall, the Void Demon Powerhouses might focus their attention on Blue Star, and the environment there would only become more hostile.

Their fates were intertwined. Under these circumstances, the longer the Black Tortoise Realm held out, the better it was for the Blue Star Human Clan. Shu Feng would naturally sabotage the Void Demons’ plans whenever he had the power to do so.

"Damn it, that guy’s catching up! That’s the Prison Skull Sect’s Prison Void Demon Step!"

The Sea Demon Association Leader glanced back, a cold glint in his eyes. His expression shifted several times before settling into a grimace. Blood-red patterns surfaced on his skin, and his aura suddenly doubled in intensity. With a flap of his wings and a flash of crimson light, his speed abruptly doubled as he shot toward the coast.

’A Secret Technique, something like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique! A technique like this can’t possibly last long!’

Shu Feng remained in hot pursuit.

As one chased and the other fled, the vast, boundless Cyan Demon Sea appeared before them, stretching to the horizon.

The Sea Demon Association Leader plunged into the Cyan Demon Sea, and Shu Feng dove in right after him, still in hot pursuit.

"Han Feng, I am the Son of Destiny, chosen by the great Void Demon Clan! I am destined to rule this world! Your Talent is immense, and you are destined to become a Martial Saint!"

"But even if you become a Martial Saint, so what? In the Black Tortoise Realm, even the number one expert in the world, War Immortal City’s Lord Wei Tuxian, has a lifespan of no more than four hundred years!"

"Wei Tuxian is old now. Once he dies, there will be no one left in the world who can stop the powerhouses of the Void Demon Clan! The entire world will become our clan’s hunting ground!"

"Han Feng, if you join our Void Demon Clan, I can petition my superiors to grant you the Void Demon Noble transformation ritual. Your lifespan will exceed three thousand years, and you can stand high above it all, looking down on those wretched humans!"

The Sea Demon Association Leader halted in the water, turning to face Shu Feng as he began his attempt at persuasion.

War Immortal City’s Lord, Wei Tuxian, was the number one expert among the ten greatest masters in the Black Tortoise Realm. His War Immortal City was located on the border between the Great Song Country and the Void Demon Battlefield.

Wei Tuxian had guarded War Immortal City for a century, slaying countless Void Demon Powerhouses. Upon the city walls was the "Duke Corpse Forest," where the bodies of one hundred and twenty-three Void Demon Dukes and three Void Demon Grand Dukes were nailed for all to see.

It was widely acknowledged throughout the Black Tortoise Realm that even if the other nine of the world’s ten greatest masters joined forces, they would still be no match for Wei Tuxian of War Immortal City.

The most perilous battle during Wei Tuxian’s century-long watch over War Immortal City was when three Void Demon Grand Dukes led an army of ten million Void Demons to besiege the city.

In that battle, countless experts from the Black Tortoise Realm gathered at War Immortal City to resist the Void Demon invasion.

Before everyone’s eyes, Wei Tuxian charged alone into the Void Demon army and single-handedly crushed the three Void Demon Grand Dukes, even though they wielded Semi-Divine Artifacts.

The army of ten million Void Demons immediately broke and scattered in all directions.

After that battle, the Void Demon Clan hatched countless plots and attempted to assassinate Wei Tuxian numerous times, but every attempt ended in failure.

Even His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Empire was deeply respectful toward Wei Tuxian, conferring upon him the title of War King from afar, with War Immortal City as his fiefdom.

However, no matter how powerful Wei Tuxian was, he could not resist the ravages of time. He was already two hundred and fifty years old and had entered the twilight years of a Martial Saint’s life.

The bodies of most Martial Saints in the Black Tortoise Realm began to decline at the age of two hundred and fifty, their strength steadily waning.
