One of the Octopus Demons charging at Gao Yuliang stopped abruptly. Seven tentacles shot out from beneath it, striking at every side of the young woman in an instant and sealing off every escape route.
Its last tentacle burrowed underground, waiting for a chance to launch a surprise attack.
As the Octopus Demon General made its move, the Fish Demon with the bloated body was not idle either.
Its already fatty body swelled further. Relying on its formidable defenses, it forcibly blocked the Spiritual Energy Dragon Gao Yuliang controlled.
Then it threw open its jaws. With the Octopus Demon General keeping her occupied, it moved to swallow the young woman whole.
"Yu Liang, watch out!"
Lu Beishen slashed aside the claws the Octopus Demon General sent at him. Seeing his friend begin to falter, he shouted.
Ignoring his own safety, he directed the Spiritual Energy Dragon above him toward her.
But just then...
A shrill wail rang in his ears, the kind of sound only someone driven to the limit of agony, body and soul, could make.
The Fish Demon's gaping jaws had been closing on Gao Yuliang.
Yet three yards from the young woman, its head was suddenly seized in the iron grip of a massive hand formed from spiritual energy.
As the hand tightened, the bloated Fish Demon's skull began to creak under the strain, despite the powerful body it possessed at Great Vehicle Perfection.
Even its supposedly unbreakable skull gave a crisp crack.
"This brat was hiding his strength! Save me!"
Feeling intense pain and a heavy dizziness spreading through its head, the bloated Fish Demon called to its companions for help without hesitation.
But its plea sank like a clay ox into the sea.
No Demon General under the Fifth Prince of the Southern Sea Dragon
