Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 682 The Busy King
Unless the soldier isn't one of their own.

The next second, more monsters surged forward, stepping over the corpses of their own kind, roaring and howling, their eyes filled with endless fear yet tormented by the pain of having no choice but to charge.

This is not a war at all, but a bloody grinder!
"Madmen! They're all madmen!" the Mermaid King cursed through gritted teeth, his steel fork whipping up towering waves that smashed hundreds of aquatic creatures into a bloody pulp. But before the corpses even sank to the bottom, the monsters behind them were already charging forward, riding the waves of blood.

Left with no other choice, the Demon King revealed his true form, a giant shark a hundred feet long, which coiled in the water palace and used various spells to buy time.

If we just wait another half day, things will calm down.

Because the other demon kings would not allow this kind of infighting, which was extremely detrimental to their own survival, to continue.

Indeed, the remaining four demon kings of Dongting Lake were already restless when the battle on the Xiang River began, and started to gather their elite troops to come and mediate.

I just didn't expect that these lunatics would attack the Xiang River and then the Ruan River so quickly, it was alarming.

As for coming alone to suppress it, that's a power only Yun Zhongjun possesses.

The Shark King was determined to defend itself properly and never attack rashly.

Neither the blood vine of the Zi River nor the alligator dragon of the Xiang River appeared, which indicates a problem.

Xiaoqing, standing behind the torrent, sighed, realizing that there was no longer any room for her to implement her tactics.

Even at the level of Demon King, there are still many fools, but they still understand the basics of weighing pros and cons.

At that moment, Li Yingqi flew over carrying an umbrella.

“Master, five demonic energies are coming from the north. One of them is extremely powerful and probably not easy to deal with.”

Even tactical time has been compressed to the limit?

Xiaoqing felt it was a bit of a pity, as she could only open the Dongting Dragon Palace to enter the next stage.

"Huh? What's that?"

At that very moment, the Shark King made a mistake that wasn't really a mistake.

In order to conserve its demonic power, it stopped using proper magic and began to harness the power of water.

The giant maw suddenly opened, and the waters of the Yuan River were as if seized by an invisible hand, turning into a violent waterspout that was sucked into its belly.

Its body suddenly swelled, and a ghostly blue light seeped from between its scales, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Get out of my way, all of you!!"

It suddenly turned around, aimed its huge mouth at the water outlet, and spewed out a towering wave of water!
boom--! ! !
The violent water pressure was like the collapse of the heavens and the earth, instantly crushing the monsters in the front row into a bloody pulp, the sound of bones shattering echoing throughout. Wherever the waves passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, tearing a huge gap in the monster tide. Countless aquatic creatures were swept away, their severed limbs churning with the waves, creating a blood-red vacuum at the mouth of the Yuan River for a moment.

The shark king's demonic eyes were filled with blood vessels, and with the stimulation of the bloody smell, its own bestial nature was growing wildly, and its rationality was being devoured little by little.

"Damn it... these ants..." it growled, opening its mouth again to prepare for a second wave of water.

Seeing the other party slaughtering the two water demon soldiers reminded Xiaoqing of a little story Xu Xuan had told her.

A snake spirit should do what a snake spirit should do.

So, just as the other party was swallowing the water of the Yuan River, they arrived at the bank of the Yuan River without anyone noticing. Xiao Qing's lips curled slightly, and she gently flicked her fingertips.

"Disperse."

He opened a sachet he always carried, but instead of spices, it contained a precious treasure.

In an instant, the poisonous soft red sand transformed into a scarlet mist, silently merging into the river.

Blood red and scarlet are a perfect match; it's impossible to tell them apart.

The shark king was completely unaware and continued to frantically suck up the water of the Yuan River.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

The toxins flowed along the water and quietly invaded its demonic body.

At first, it only felt a slight itch in its throat, but soon, a burning pain erupted from its body!

"Well--!!"

The Shark King's eyes widened suddenly, its demonic pupils contracting abruptly. Eerie red threads seeped from between its scales, its demonic power sluggishly stagnated, and even breathing became difficult.

"poison……?!"

It finally realized what was happening, but it was too late. The Thousand Poison Soft Red Sand had already spread throughout its entire body with its absorption, its demon core, meridians, and flesh—nothing was spared! "Despicable...!!" the Mermaid King roared, but its voice became hoarse and weak. Its body began to convulse uncontrollably, its demonic power became chaotic, and even maintaining its true form became difficult.

Despite the excruciating pain, he examined the demon core and saw that its once crystal-clear surface was now covered with spiderweb-like red threads. The toxins had directly invaded the core of the demonic energy circulation through its water-absorbing technique.

Even more terrifying is that these red threads are frantically devouring its original demonic power; with each bit they devour, the poison grows stronger!
"roar--!!"

The Shark King let out a shrill roar, its scales standing on end. It finally realized that this was no ordinary poison sand, but a deadly poison specifically crafted to target top-tier cultivators!

The poison sac that it was so proud of at this moment became a death warrant—the toxins clashed fiercely with the primal demonic poison within its body, triggering an even more terrifying chain reaction.

"Impossible! I am a deep-sea venomous shark, how could this be?"

Xiao Qing, standing on the shore, watched with indifference and nodded in satisfaction.

This is the final essence, of course it's amazing.

The Poison Dragon Venerable was once the leader of the Western Demonic Sect, and almost all of his skills were contained in this magical artifact.

Although his death was ignominious, it was because his enemy was the righteous leader, Master Changmei. He survived being trapped in the Yin-Yang Dust Array for days and nights, demonstrating his ferocious strength.

Even if she ultimately met a tragic end, it was only because the White Lotus Saint Father had a premeditated plan and used various methods to succeed.

Such a natal magic weapon left behind by a demonic overlord is no ordinary thing.

Bloodvine felt its body paralyzed and its soul damaged even after being hit by the Demonic Sect's regular Soft Red Sand. The fact that the Shark King has managed to withstand it without turning into pus and blood shows that it is a ruthless demon with maxed-out poison resistance.

But I'm in a hurry.

“Get started!”

At Xiaoqing's command, all the sword cultivators of the new Shu Mountain attacked simultaneously!

"Purple Qi rises from the east for thirty thousand miles, and the green sword is drawn to slay demons!" - Li Yingqi drew his sword technique, and the purple and green swords transformed into two streaks of light, their sword energy traversing three thousand miles!

"Stars hang low over the vast plains, swords fall from the cold heavens!" — Yan Renying drew his Milky Way Sword, its light like a cascading galaxy, blocking all escape routes!
"The flames of Li Huo burn the heavens, the Southern Brightness illuminates the netherworld!"—Yu Yingnan flicked her wrist, and the Southern Brightness Li Huo Sword ignited with raging flames, boiling the entire body of water!
"Azure Qi pierces the sun and moon, one sword breaks through all laws!" - Qi Lingyun's Azure Qi Sword shone with a sudden burst of cold light, its momentum like a rainbow, aiming straight for the Mermaid King's throat!

Four astonishing sword lights shot into the sky from the water, their sword energy intertwining into a net that tore the defensive array of the Yuanjiang River into pieces! The violent aftershocks of the sword energy swept in all directions, causing the rocks on the shore to crumble and the waves to surge hundreds of feet high!

The shark king desperately swung its steel fork to defend itself, trying to gain a chance at survival, for it could already see the demonic clouds in the distance.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Master Mao on the shore suddenly bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the magic sword in his hand!
"Three Talents Sword Formation - Tremor!"

The magic sword flew out of his hand, transforming into three phantom images of blood-red lightning that instantly pierced through the Mermaid King's chest!

The overlord of Yuanjiang trembled violently, his fortune diminished. The Taoist priest, having exhausted his magical power, collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.

Finally, even King Xiaoqing joined the battle.

He unleashed all his magical treasures, then brandished the blazing demonic flames of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, severing the man's head.

The battle is decided.

When the five demon kings arrived at the mouth of the Yuanjiang River with their armies, they were all stunned into silence.

Blood-red waves surged, churning a purple mist; a foul wind swept through, whipping up dark clouds. Shrimp soldiers, their whiskers severed, sank to the bottom; crab generals, their claws broken, lay on the sandy shore. Carp spirits, their scales and armor scattered; green shrimp monsters, their whiskers and spears lying across the water. The river flowed like a murky sauce, a chaotic mess of carcasses. A murderous aura soared to the heavens, startling the underwater palace; vengeful spirits formed an array, obscuring the light of day.

The surface of the water was covered with corpses, like lotus leaves spread out on a lotus pond in June; the bottom of the river was piled with bones, like red petals falling from a maple forest in late autumn. Broken spears and halberds rolled with the waves, and tattered flags and drums floated downstream.

In the center of the battlefield stood a beautiful female bodhisattva. Her attire was as follows:
Her dark hair was styled in a high, coiled bun, her face lightly adorned with arched eyebrows. Her almond-shaped eyes held a fierce glint, while her cherry lips smiled, concealing a storm within. She wore chainmail armor, a brocade sash with flowing tassels around her waist. Her feet shod in lotus-silk cloud-walking boots, and she wielded the mighty swords Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.

This female demon stood amidst the blood-red waves, like Guanyin stepping on a lotus throne, or a Rakshasa descending upon a sea of ​​blood. The wailing of vengeful spirits all around her was like a gentle breeze caressing her face; the churning malevolent energy of the river was like a thin mist clinging to her clothes. Truly:

With a laugh, enemy ships vanished into ashes; with a glance, demons trembled in fear. Let the vast waves of Dongting Lake rise, they could not move a single step of the beauty's embrace.

The five demon kings, seeing this from afar, thought to themselves, "Where did this evil spirit come from, that it has turned the elite of the Three Rivers into innocent victims?"

Despite their arrogance in front of them, the five demon kings dared not make any rash moves.

The most silent stone king opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

Little Green King, mimicking someone else's manner, replied casually:
"Dongting, the King of Busyness".

　With the May Day holiday over, we'll now focus all our efforts on finishing up this volume.
