"Ye Xingchen, I'll kill you!" Hua Li roared in fury. In that instant, his demonic power surged. He flung his right hand, trying to break free from Jiu Li's restraints.
However, when he tried to break free, he not only failed, but Jiu Li's hand tightened even more.
He was startled and looked at Jiu Li in disbelief, only to see Jiu Li smile, then tighten her right hand and snap...
Hua Li let out a scream. Although his body was created through possession, and he could regenerate severed organs with magic, it did not mean he was unaware of pain.
With a casual flick of her wrist, Jiu Li severed one of his hands. Then, with a flick of her right hand, she lifted him by one arm and tossed him high into the air before slamming him heavily to the ground.
Boom... A deep pit shaped like a human was suddenly created in the concrete ground. Jiu Li grabbed him and swung him around wildly, as if he were a piece of trash.
Boom boom boom, more than a dozen times in a row, the guy fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, almost dying from lack of breath.
"Jiuli, stop playing around. This guy is too cunning. Just kill him." Ye Xingchen said calmly.
Jiu Li didn't seem to have had enough fun yet, but since Ye Xingchen had spoken, she obediently nodded, her right hand turning from palm to fist, ready to finish off Hua Li on the ground with one punch.
Just then, Hua Li suddenly transformed into a cloud of green mist, startling Ye Xingchen: "Be careful."
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden scale suddenly lit up on the back of Hua Li's hand. The instant the scale lit up, a cloud of green mist suddenly swirled up and transformed into a snake-like creature, which circled around Jiu Li once. Jiu Li frowned and felt a wave of dizziness.
Immediately afterwards, the giant snake transformed into a cloud of green mist, then soared into the sky, forcefully breaking through the demon-subduing formation set up by Ye Xingchen, and disappeared into the void.
"Damn it, that bastard got away again." Ye Xingchen pounded his head and stamped his feet. He knew that this flower python was not easy to deal with, so he had made preparations in advance.
He summoned Jiu Li and set up a demon-subduing formation around the area, striving to ensure that this time everything would go smoothly.
However, he still underestimated this guy's fortune. After all, this guy had accidentally swallowed the Yuanlong Saliva, and his fortune was beyond the reach of ordinary people. So this time, he escaped by using a last-ditch means to save his life.
"Ah..." Jiu Li was dumbfounded. She thought this time she was sure of victory, but she did not expect that she had underestimated the strength of this snake.
She looked at the sky with some annoyance and made a few gestures: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was too playful. I should have just come up and stabbed him to death."
“It’s not your fault. This guy has already devoured the Yuanlong’s Saliva and has extraordinary fortune compared to other demons.” Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, “This time he also escaped by showing his dragon form. This was his last resort to save his life.”
"So this time, it's just that his luck hasn't run out yet, but next time, he won't be so lucky."
"Really?" Jiu Li was still very remorseful. She hesitated for a long time before raising her head: "Next time, I must not let him escape again. I want to kill him with my own hands."
"Okay, no problem. I'll definitely call you next time so you can kill him with your own hands." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, comforting Jiu Li, and then left with her.
Liang Chenghu was in his villa, planning his next move.
Just then, a cloud of green mist burst through his glass window, smashing his incredibly expensive French windows to pieces with a crash.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rolled to the ground and crawled on the ground in a disheveled state.
"Who?" Liang Chenghu was startled and quickly stood up, a shotgun already in his hand.
"Prepare my blood, now." The person who fell was Hua Li, who roared, a howl escaping his throat.
"Mr. Hua, is that you?" Liang Chenghu was taken aback. He quickly put away his shotgun and helped Hua Li down from the secret room.
Inside the secret chamber, Hua Li's upper body was covered with a layer of scales, and half of her face had turned into a snake's face.
He is now half-human and half-snake, somewhere between his original form and human form, and looks extremely terrifying.
After swallowing the fresh blood, Hua Li let out a long breath, and his energy gradually recovered. A moment later, the scales on his body completely disappeared. He slowly raised his head, a sinister look on his face.
"Mr. Hua... what happened?" Liang Chenghu looked at him in surprise.
"Ye Xingchen... he set me up!" Hua Li roared, "I was caught off guard and fell for his trick. I used my two life-saving Golden Scales on him. Damn it, he's despicable..."
Hua Lizhen had never been so furious. He had two life-saving golden scales on his body, which grew when he swallowed the Yuanlong Saliva.
These two golden scales could save his life in a critical moment and keep his primordial spirit from perishing. As long as he had the golden scales, it was as if he had three lives. Now he had used up both golden scales, and both of these life-saving methods were used on Ye Xingchen.
He actually fell for the same person twice? That's unbelievable.
"Mr. Hua has fallen for Ye Xingchen?" Liang Chenghu was taken aback.
"Yes, twice... He has already made me use my life-saving methods twice." Hua Li roared, "My hundreds of years of cultivation were almost all lost at his hands."
“That bastard Ye Xingchen is a treacherous and cunning fellow, but why would he set a trap for the Master? The Master has been staying here with me and has hardly ever gone out. How did he know about the Master’s existence?” Liang Chenghu’s face darkened. “Could it be… that there’s a traitor among us?”
"That's not necessarily true. I went out for a walk these past few days, and that's where I might have slipped up." Hua Li stood up and let out a long breath. "It seems that the order of the human world is quite powerful. You can't just do whatever you want just because you have cultivation."
“Yes, the rules of this world are made by the strong. Even cultivators have rules to follow.” Liang Chenghu sighed. “Above the strong, there will always be the strong.”
"It's like me. In Jinling, I'm considered a big shot, but once I leave Jinling and head out to the high seas, I'm as insignificant as an ant. To save my own life, I wouldn't dare utter a single word even when someone is riding on my head."
"Is this what life is like for you humans?" Hua Li sighed. "Life is really tough for you humans."
“Yes, it’s not wrong to say that we are the most intelligent of all beings and the rulers of all living things, but in the human world, most people still live a very humble life.” Liang Chenghu sighed.
