Chapter 1373: Crescent Moon Island

Martial Heroes and Immortals

The fat silkworm did not disappoint Qin Sang.

There was a significant realm difference between it and the Frogfish.

However, the divine ability, meticulously cultivated by a form-transformation early-stage demon king, still couldn't penetrate the Toxin-Dispelling Armor; it was firmly blocked.

*Whoosh!*

The demonic flame rushed forward.

Feeling the power of the demonic flame, all the scales on the Frogfish's body bristled, and its eyes showed terror.

Qin Sang, finding this still not enough, slapped his Corpse Puppet Pouch. The Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet shot out, heading towards the Frogfish along with the demonic flame.

After first passing through the storm zone and then engaging in a fierce battle with the three demons, the puppet seal power within the Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet was severely depleted. Puppets are tireless, but they cannot operate indefinitely.

*Boom!*

The demonic flame was very close, on the verge of engulfing the Frogfish.

The Frogfish retreated swiftly, the golden and green light on its body suddenly erupting with great force, pressing back against the demonic flame. In an instant, they collided.

The black demonic flame, the shadow of the Talisman Puppet, and the golden and green light.

Various anomalies intersected and collided, creating a chaotic scene in the void.

At the same time, a thunderous sound of breaking air came from a distance.

A streak of blood-red light shot into the battlefield like lightning. It was Bi Fang, who, seeing its companion in danger, urgently rushed to assist.

Seeing Bi Fang rapidly approaching, Qin Sang cursed under his breath. Disregarding the Frogfish's fate, he immediately withdrew the demonic flame and the Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet, flashing out of the green light's range, and continued to flee.

If he had just a few more breaths, Qin Sang was confident he could slay the Frogfish, but it wouldn't significantly help him escape the danger.

The greatest enemy was Bi Fang. He absolutely could not afford to be entangled by Bi Fang!

He inwardly inspected his body; his true essence had diminished by another 10%. He took a pill, held a spirit stone, and tried to recover every second, but it was merely a drop in the ocean.

*Swoosh!*

Bi Fang arrived.

A loud croaking sound came from the battlefield.

The Frogfish, furious, leaped out.

A claw mark appeared on its chest, nearly disemboweling it.

The fish scales, harder than even armored artifacts, were now charred black. With a shake of its body, they crumbled into dust, revealing raw, red flesh, causing immense pain.

Had it not been for the little fox and Bi Fang's assistance, it would have died on the spot!

Though not dead, the Frogfish's combat ability was severely damaged, making it impossible for it to continue pursuing Qin Sang.

The three demons exchanged glances.

Unexpectedly, their combined efforts not only failed to kill their weakened opponent but also left one of them seriously injured and another overly exhausted.

"Quick, chase! This person is at the end of their rope; we must not let them escape!"

The Frogfish gnashed its teeth, screaming fiercely, wishing it could devour Qin Sang alive.

It was unwilling to admit that a hint of fear had sprouted in its heart towards Qin Sang.

The power of the demonic flame was too terrifying.

The little fox's judgment was correct.

If they had encountered an opponent at full strength, it would most likely be them fleeing in disarray!

The little fox arrived belatedly, having jumped off Bi Fang earlier to avoid burdening it.

Bi Fang nodded, "Be careful, both of you. Don't let yourselves be seen by humans."

*Whoosh!*

A fierce wind picked up.

Bi Fang pursued closely, leaving the little fox and the Frogfish looking at each other.

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

A streak of green light and a flash of crimson streaked across the sky, completely unconcealed, their presence perceptible even beyond sight.

Seeing that only Bi Fang was in pursuit, Qin Sang secretly thought that his earlier action hadn't been in vain. The fewer opponents, the greater his chance of escape.

It was a pity he was too weak.

Otherwise, Qin Sang would dare to turn back now and fight Bi Fang.

"How much further until the human continent?"

Qin Sang recalled the sea chart.

The markings on the sea chart, apart from one clear route, were quite rough in other areas.

His destination was a land called Crescent Island.

Crescent Island was one of the Three Northern Sea Realms, a conventional name; its more accurate name was Crescent Realm.

Named an island, its territory was actually vaster than the Beichen Realm, and it was the largest among the Three Northern Sea Realms.

Crescent Island had a peculiar shape, long and continuous, with pointed ends and a bulging middle, resembling a crescent moon, hence its name.

Qin Sang was flying southwest. He was currently heading towards one of the crescent tips of Crescent Island.

The boat owner had once said that demon beasts dared not cause trouble near Crescent Island, indicating it should be an area controlled by humans.

As Qin Sang pondered these thoughts, he suddenly noticed two light points, one green and one white, appearing on the distant horizon.

The light points were clearly the escape light of cultivators, attracted by their chase.

Judging by the speed of the light points, they were likely Nascent Soul cultivators or demon kings!

Qin Sang's expression subtly changed. Had he attracted other demon kings again?

He frowned, silently cursing this desolate place. How could he so easily encounter so many Nascent Soul-level masters, and always in twos or threes, acting together?

He vaguely guessed some clues.

Perhaps he had arrived at the wrong time, and it was likely he had stumbled upon something significant.

The light points flew closer and closer.

Qin Sang's expression relaxed slightly as he confirmed that the approaching figures were human Nascent Souls, not demon kings.

Soon, the other party also clearly saw the identities of the two, one chasing and one fleeing. They paused slightly, then turned and flew towards Bi Fang, who was behind.

Upon seeing the light points, Bi Fang had hesitated. After confirming that the approaching figures were human adversaries, despite its reluctance, it could only abandon the idea of pursuit. Its escape light shifted, and it turned to leave.

Seeing Bi Fang's decisive retreat, the two flew for a short distance before stopping, turning their heads to look at Qin Sang on the other side.

Of these two, one was a refined scholar in white robes, holding a folding fan, with an elegant demeanor.

The other was an old man in a green robe, with a stern and humorless expression.

After startling Bi Fang away, they intended to greet Qin Sang. Unexpectedly, Qin Sang showed no intention of stopping, flying away without looking back.

"Hmm?"

The white-robed scholar was displeased, coldly remarking, "This person is so rude!"

The green-robed old man gazed at the green light. After a moment, he said, "So that's it! This person appears to have an astonishing aura, but is clearly in a weakened state. It seems he isn't a familiar fellow Daoist, and thus is wary of us as well. However, when did such a master appear nearby?"

The white-robed scholar's expression softened slightly.

If he were to encounter an unknown cultivator in such a state, his first thought would also be to distance himself and recover his strength.

"That fellow was the Bi Fang demon king that Daoist Feng mentioned, wasn't he?"

The white-robed scholar glanced in the direction Bi Fang had flown; the crimson light had already disappeared.

The green-robed old man nodded, "Indeed, that's him! This demon brazenly calls itself Bi Fang, and its abilities are indeed not weak. Even I am not confident I could defeat it. However, this demon has always been inseparable from a cunning fox. Why is only Bi Fang here now, and no other demon kings?"

"Daoist Liu once sent a message that Bi Fang also called upon a Frogfish. Now that neither of those two demons are present, could this person have escaped from the encirclement of three demon kings?"

The white-robed scholar's eyes showed surprise as he looked in the direction Qin Sang had fled.

"This person's escape technique is remarkably strong; it's normal for him to have shaken off the other demon kings. However, to be able to break through the encirclement of three demons shows his true strength..."

The green-robed old man's eyes sparkled as he whispered a few words to the white-robed scholar.
