Clearly, Jue Shang had not expected Yue Jinghua to choose this particular Killing Technique.
The Senluo Yin Wind of the Senluo Sea has, over thousands of years, swept up numerous members of the Human Race and the Demon Clan. When facing similar choices, the impetuous ones would choose a technique with astonishing attack power, the more conservative would choose defensive or Killing Techniques, but it was only Yue Jinghua who selected this Killing Technique.
"That’s the Demon God Kill, a type of Killing Flames. Such a technique is extremely difficult for ordinary people to cultivate. You’d better choose another," Jue Shang thought her talent was insufficient. Cultivating such a sophisticated Killing Technique as the Killing Flames was simply impossible, and he was just about to suggest that Yue Jinghua learn a Killing Technique to escape instead.
Killing Flames, an aura of carnage, were born out of the brutal living conditions of the Demon God Clan during the barbaric era after countless killings. To put it simply, it is killing aura.
Once formed, the Killing Flames would manifest on the skin like a glow similar to Dark Energy’s Dark Armor, providing a degree of defense. However, unlike the Dark Armor from Dark Techniques, Killing Flames also have a deterrent effect on opponents and can also stimulate several times the user’s own energy.
The difficulty in cultivating Killing Flames lies in the fact that after the barbaric era passed, the Demon Clan entered a relatively stable state of living, lacking the bloody trials of the Demon Gods during the barbaric era.
Without having traversed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, without having experienced great wars across planes, neither demons nor Dark Practitioners can cultivate Killing Flames.
Even Jue Shang himself, after slaughtering nearly ten thousand souls in the Lower Plane, had only managed to cultivate the second level of the Asura Killing Flame. As for the girl before him, let alone Killing Flames, she probably wouldn’t even pass the most basic entrance test.
"Killing Flames sound quite interesting; I’ll choose this one," the young girl of the Human Race said. Far from letting go of the Killing Skill Light Ball, her fingers swiftly closed in, shattering the Light Ball and it penetrated her body.
Seeing Yue Jinghua waste a chance to learn a Killing Technique in an instant, Jue Shang wanted to speak but stopped himself.
"The deal is done, the exchange is complete. Now you can tell me how to dive down to the depths of three hundred zhang under the sea," Yue Jinghua said eagerly, not having much time to waste.
"Descending to the seabed is not difficult, but if you want to approach the underwater Windmill Array, you must pass through the lair of the Sea Bat Eel. In this part of the Senluo Sea Domain, a fierce and brutal Fish Monster resides, called Sea Batfish, whose strength is on par with a Seventh-Rank Dark Beast," Jue Shang spoke slowly.
Almost simultaneously, Qing Pu relayed to Yue Jinghua all the information about the marine Sea Batfish.
The Sea Bat Eel is a large-sized marine Dark Beast, blind by nature, akin to a natural-born blind creature. However, it can detect enemy attacks with a special underwater vibration sense, just like bats on land. Any enemy who dares come close will be instantly attacked.
Although Yue Jinghua had just slaughtered a Seventh-Order Alligator Turtle a few days ago, in a true test of skill, she was no match for a Sea Beast.
In this sea domain, defeating the Sea Bat Eel is impossible.
Fortunately, having been imprisoned in this area for a long time, Jue Shang knew something about the habits of that sea eel.
"It’s not entirely impossible for you. On the fourteenth of every month, the Sea Bat Eel enters a brief period of sleep. You can take that opportunity to dive underwater and unseal the Windmill Array," the days in the Senluo Sea were monotonous, and Jue Shang observed the marine beasts and the tidal patterns very carefully.
Gazing at the black moon slowly sinking below the sea level in the sky, Yue Jinghua furrowed her brows; she did not have the time to wait until the fifteenth of next month.
With a few leaps, she stood by the sea domain. After a night had passed, the waters of the Senluo Sea were receding, "I’m homesick and can’t wait that long. Is there a more convenient method, preferably one that doesn’t involve waiting?"
Jue Shang suppressed the urge to curse out loud. This young girl before him seemed to have a natural talent for infuriating people without paying for their lives.
Waiting is already the most convenient method.
"Sigh, Jue Shang, are you really a Demon? How can you not think of another simplest method?" Yue Jinghua appeared to be observing the Senluo Sea, her back turned to Jue Shang.
Jue Shang didn’t notice that when Yue Jinghua spoke, her pupils suddenly contracted, her eyes became much deeper, and the smile on her face carried a thick killing intent.
Jue Shang asked in confusion, "What method?"
"Kill it. Killing is the most permanent solution," Yue Jinghua said as if joking.
"You think you can kill the Sea Batfish all by yourself?" Jue Shang couldn’t help feeling frustrated; this was the first time she had met someone so overestimating their own capabilities.
