Chapter 2093 - 2094: Crisis of the Saintess!
The under-one-meter-tall king demon devoured the original green demon, causing its body to grow taller.
Its pea-sized eyes glowed with a ghostly light, scanning the Turquoise Pool and the many young Martial Artists around it.
Everyone who received a glance from this king demon felt a chill in their hearts.
This king demon was different from the previous demons; it belonged to a higher evolutionary tier of abyss demon, its strength skyrocketing, comparable to a Supreme Saint.
This was just because the king demon had only just been born; if given time to grow, even Supreme Saints would not want to become its enemy.
"This is bad, the king demon has appeared, we should leave here quickly," someone suggested.
"No, this is the rear of the Galactic Road, if this king demon rampages here, it would be as if our retreat is cut off," someone refuted.
Encountering an abyss demon here was surprising enough for them; logically, abyss demons should not appear here but rather at the front; their appearance here definitely meant they planned to retaliate against the human Martial Artists, seeking revenge.
The juvenile king demon didn’t give the crowd much time to think; it needed to feed now, and humans were its most delicious dinner. By devouring these humans, its strength would increase immensely.
Whoosh.
A scream came from the crowd as the juvenile abyss demon suddenly rushed in, its speed catching everyone off guard.
Immediately, someone was bitten on the head by this juvenile abyss demon, even the soul was swallowed whole.
The crowd immediately dispersed, only the Turquoise Pool did not evade, launching an attack at the first opportunity.
Sword light continuously shimmered in the starry sky, the Turquoise Pool’s sword fiercely clashing with the juvenile king demon, but unfortunately, her sword had no effect as the claws of this small abyss demon were so hard they could block her sharp blade.
Clang clang...
The longsword emitted sounds like cutting into iron skin; this small king demon’s flesh was so tough, completely comparable to metal, that even the Turquoise Pool’s sword left no mark.
Careful!
A cry of alarm came from among the young Martial Artists, and the sword in the Turquoise Pool’s hand was suddenly knocked flying by the tail of the small abyss demon.
Without a weapon, the Turquoise Pool’s combat power decreased significantly, but she did not leave because of this and continued to fight the abyss demon.
"Let’s help the Turquoise Pool Fairy, and eliminate the abyss demon," someone couldn’t bear it any longer, feeling they couldn’t let the Turquoise Pool face the abyss demon alone. The Turquoise Pool was saving them while they stood aside watching, what kind of behavior was that?
Many young Martial Artists felt somewhat hot in the face and immediately responded, taking action one after another. With the joint forces of many, this juvenile king demon continuously got injured, its power dwindling.
Bang!
The small abyss demon was blasted away by the combined assault, and those two small eyes emitted a furious glow.
It raised its head and let out a peculiar, sharp sound that hurt everyone’s eardrums upon hearing it.
The sound was like a sharp iron tool scraping against glass, very piercing, making people uncomfortable.
At that moment, one by one, black holes appeared in the surrounding void, and from these black holes emerged one abyss demon after another, although not at king demon level, but extremely numerous, exceeding a hundred.
"It’s over! We’re surrounded!"
"This guy has summoned its companions, it’s not suitable to engage in a prolonged battle, we need to leave here quickly."
People panicked; before it was just one juvenile king demon, but this king demon summoning more abyss demons changed everything.
"Break a path!"
Some young Martial Artists led the way, others followed, while the Turquoise Pool was holding off the juvenile king demon.
Others urged the Turquoise Pool to leave quickly, continuing the fight would be very dangerous.
The Turquoise Pool ignored them; a juvenile king abyss demon like this was rare, if she could seize the opportunity to kill it, her military merit points would greatly increase, thereby gaining more time for insight, which would significantly benefit her advancement to the Supreme Saint tier.
She was already lagging far behind the Demon Lord Holy Son and the Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son, she needed to strive even harder to catch up, or she would be left further behind.
"Quickly, just give me a few more breaths of time, I will definitely be able to slay it," the Turquoise Pool thought to herself, accelerating her attacks. Perhaps feeling the Turquoise Pool’s killing intent, that juvenile king demon kept calling other abyss demons to attack the Turquoise Pool, to share the pressure.
Thud thud thud!
The Turquoise Pool’s fist, seemingly small but incredibly powerful, forcefully blew up the abyss demons approaching her, yet the continuously emerging abyss demons blocked her path, causing her to increasingly distance from the juvenile king demon.
This way it won’t work, it’ll be even harder to kill that juvenile king demon.
Clenching her teeth, the Turquoise Pool leapt up, but just as her body rose into the air, dozens of abyss demons flew towards her, exploded upon nearing her.
Bang bang bang!
For a time, explosions occurred one after another around the Turquoise Pool, forcing her to change direction.
Just as she regained her footing, blood slipped out from the Turquoise Pool’s mouth, the self-destructing attack of the abyss demons had injured her.
But all this wasn’t the worst; when the Turquoise Pool realized she was completely surrounded by abyss demons, her heart instantly turned cold.
This was the worst situation.
"Turquoise Pool Fairy!"
The young Martial Artists were anxious seeing the Turquoise Pool surrounded by abyss demons. In their hearts, the Turquoise Pool was a fairy-like figure, none wanted any mishaps to befall her.
But the situation the Turquoise Pool faced was also the most severe; they had to think seriously if they wanted to save her because it was very likely that before saving the Turquoise Pool, they’d die in the hands of abyss demons.
The young Martial Artists exchanged glances, but none took action, they feared being surrounded by the abyss demons just like the Turquoise Pool, and that would be certain death.
No one would willingly sacrifice their life just because they admired a woman, especially in the Martial Artists’ world, such examples were exceedingly rare.
The Turquoise Pool glanced towards the direction of the young Martial Artists; facing her gaze, they all avoided eye contact, not daring to meet her eyes.
"Am I, the Turquoise Pool, going to die here?" The Turquoise Pool hadn’t really counted on anyone coming to her rescue, she blamed herself for being too greedy leading to this situation.
Even though the Turquoise Pool was the Saintess of the Turquoise Pool Sanctuary, she was still human, and humans have desires. Killing a king demon would result in an abundance of military merit points, meaning an improvement in power, even the Turquoise Pool couldn’t resist such immense benefits.
The life-saving treasures had long been exhausted, aside from the remaining strength, she had no more advantage to change the situation.
As the Turquoise Pool’s power depleted bit by bit, she finally reached her limit, unable to kill the weaker abyss demons, her injuries worsened.
In the end, the Turquoise Pool couldn’t even lift her arms anymore, as the surrounding abyss demons surged towards her.
"I’m really going to die," the Turquoise Pool smiled, welcoming death with ease.
Suddenly, a figure materialized from the void, standing before the Turquoise Pool, leaving her with a slender back.
