Chapter 1933: Chapter 1918: The Strategist
To be honest, Black Cloud Great Sage has high hopes for Hur Tai’s third move.
Not only high hopes, but also firmly believed that Ye Zhen would turn into a pulp under this move of Hur Tai’s.
Hur Tai was even willing to spray out his Origin Essence Blood to double the power of his Innate Divine Ability, the Spirit Mountain Vajra Palm, so it’s impossible for Ye Zhen not to become pulp.
To be honest, this move, if he, Black Cloud Great Sage, were to receive it head-on without dodging, he would have to be extremely cautious, not to mention Ye Zhen, a martial artist in the Dark Palace Realm...
However, the current situation has overturned Black Cloud Great Sage’s understanding.
The flames that emerged from Ye Zhen’s body surprisingly incinerated Hur Tai’s attack, and in an instant, severely injured Hur Tai.
Even Black Cloud Great Sage, who has seen a lot, was dumbfounded and showed a look of horror.
By the time he reacted, Hur Tai had already been burned by Ye Zhen’s Bone-attached Poison Flame to reveal his true form, not to mention that his pair of tiger arms were basically burnt off, his back and neck were almost burned to white bone.
Hur Tai did not fail to try to save himself.
But the more spiritual power he injected, the fiercer the Bone-attached Poison Flame became.
As for the other Demon Commanders, having learned a lesson, only dared to rescue from afar with spiritual power.
However, ordinary spiritual power injected was like adding fuel to the Bone-attached Poison Flame, only making Hur Tai’s screams more intense.
"Great Sage, save me! Save me!"
Hur Tai’s shrill screams brought Black Cloud Great Sage back to his senses.
A cloud of gloom, like ink, poured down from Black Cloud Great Sage’s palm, attempting to extinguish the Bone-attached Poison Flame burning around Hur Tai.
But the light of the Bone-attached Poison Flame merely dimmed slightly, then stubbornly resumed burning, even igniting Black Cloud Great Sage’s Three Elements Black Water Spiritual Power.
This greatly shocked Black Cloud Great Sage.
His Three Elements Black Water Spiritual Power is well-known throughout the world, inherited through their Black Tiger bloodline as an innate spiritual power.
If this Black Water Spiritual Power was cultivated to the Ninth Stage Nine Primordial Realm, it would be enough to contend with the most powerful Xuan Fire in the world.
Though now, Black Cloud Great Sage’s Black Water Spiritual Power is only at three elements, but its power is still extraordinary.
Yet it cannot completely extinguish the flame before him.
In his surprise, Black Cloud Great Sage once again poured a massive amount of Three Elements Black Water Spiritual Power from his palm. In his skillful control, this massive Three Elements Black Water Spiritual Power enveloped Hur Tai like a water bubble.
As an expert in water, Black Cloud Great Sage has encountered countless spirit flames, and is adept at extinguishing fires.
Under the pouring of the massive Three Elements Black Water Spiritual Power, the Bone-attached Poison Flame on Hur Tai’s body finally gradually extinguished.
Ye Zhen, who had been coldly watching, forcibly activated his Divine Sense at this moment, suppressing the Artifact Spirit Innate Bone-Phosphorus Fire Spirit of the Blood-attached Poison Flame Pearl.
This Innate Bone-Phosphorus Fire Spirit possessed fierce hostility, and its flames being forcibly suppressed made it want to contend with the Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl.
It was inappropriate to have extraneous incidents at this time, so Ye Zhen forcibly suppressed this Innate Bone-Phosphorus Fire Spirit, calming it down.
Nevertheless, even though the Bone-attached Poison Flame burning on Hur Tai’s body was extinguished, Black Cloud Great Sage’s face became exceedingly gloomy.
For in just these few breaths, Hur Tai’s physical body was burnt more than a third.
A destroyed physical body is the most serious and difficult injury to recover from for the gigantic Demon Clan.
In the future, for Hur Tai to restore his physical body, besides consuming numerous spiritual medicines, it would take at least ten years of painstaking effort.
Most importantly, for the Demon Clan, half, or even more, of their combat power relies on their physical bodies to be deployed.
Once the physical body is heavily damaged, they cannot exert their proper combat power.
In other words, with Hur Tai’s current condition, he cannot exert his proper combat power for ten years. Black Cloud Great Sage not only loses a formidable Demon Commander under his command for ten years but also needs to pay a large amount of precious limb-regenerating pills within these ten years.
Bear in mind, the Demon Clan naturally cannot compare to the Human Clan in the paths of alchemy and artifact refining. Many precious pills and top suppressing devices must be purchased from the Human Clan.
Limb-regenerating pills, at Great Zhou’s price, are not something that ordinary martial artists can afford, and within the Demon Clan, if it doesn’t cost several times more, it wouldn’t do justice to the Demon Clan’s massive size.
Even more troublesome, the same is true for severed limbs. The Human Clan might only need one limb-regenerating pill, but for the gigantic Demon Clan, thirty pills might not suffice.
Thinking about having to procure a massive amount of precious pills to heal Hur Tai’s injuries made Black Cloud Great Sage’s heart bleed.
Yet, Black Cloud Great Sage had to do it, if he didn’t care for the severely wounded Demon Commander Hur Tai who fought for him, not only would his subordinates become disheartened, but in the future, willing Demon Generals and Demon Commanders to join him would drastically decrease.
Under such circumstances, Black Cloud Great Sage’s frustration is easily imaginable!
"Great Sage, by some stroke of luck, I managed to withstand three moves! I’ll now take Xuan Hu and leave Black Prison, thank you, Great Sage!" As he spoke, Ye Zhen carried the still-stunned Xuan Hu and strode towards the exit of Black Prison.
Hur Chimei, Yun Ben, and others hurriedly followed.
When Ye Zhen left, he did not forget to say thanks, although this thanks felt like a slap on the face, making Black Cloud Great Sage’s cheeks burn.
But in front of so many subordinates, Black Cloud Great Sage could not afford to be dishonest and could only watch Ye Zhen leave with Xuan Hu and the others.
However, the anger in Black Cloud Great Sage’s eyes could not be concealed.
The tight-clenched iron fist, even the knuckles turned pale.
"You all, who has a way to keep that Xuan Hu for me, this Xuan Hu, is of great use to me, absolutely cannot be let go just like this!
If anyone comes up with a suitable way that doesn’t damage my reputation, their cultivation resources for this year will be doubled!" Watching Ye Zhen and his group just step out of Black Prison into the ordinary prison of Black Tiger Prison, Black Cloud Great Sage suddenly said angrily.
Before Black Cloud Great Sage’s voice fell, a fox clan Demon Commander behind Black Cloud Great Sage, short and skinny with three tufts of short whiskers under his chin, stepped forward twirling his beard, "Great Sage, I have a way to keep them, and without tarnishing your reputation!"
Black Cloud Great Sage was overjoyed, "Quick, what method?"
The fox clan Demon Commander did not speak, his Divine Sense pulsed a few times, evident that he was using Divine Soul Telecommunication with Black Cloud Great Sage.
After listening, Black Cloud Great Sage frowned, "Is this really feasible?"
"Of course it’s no problem!" As he spoke, the fox clan Demon Commander took out a Shadow Capture Jade Slip, "I took precautions and prepared a little ahead. This Shadow Capture Jade Slip can confirm that the condition you promised was only to allow Xuan Hu to leave Black Prison."
Taking the Shadow Capture Jade Slip, with just a glance, Black Cloud Great Sage was overjoyed.
"Haha, Mr. Fox ZiBo, indeed full of scheming, from today Mr. Fox ZiBo will be my strategic think tank!"
Having said that, Black Cloud Great Sage shouted aloud, "Go, follow me to intercept them!"
