Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 718 701: Draw a Circle to Curse Him

"So soone got there before , what a pity." Jiang Yuan continued rummaging, "Where's the Fish Bone Sword? What about the Tortoise Shell? Not a single one dropped?"

The giant catfish gritted its teeth and returned to human form, its originally pale face flushed with anger, "You... you took advantage of my plight! If I hadn't failed in my refining and suffered a backlash that left seriously injured, how could I have faced such humiliation!"

Truly unlucky, my own cave dwelling hadn't succeeded in refining for so many years, and just when it was about to succeed, it failed! Failing was bad enough, but damn it, there was a violent backlash!

A cave dwelling lived in for a thousand years suddenly had nothing to do with , and in the end, it even stabbed in the back. Where could I seek justice?

Jiang Yuan suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder your health bar isn't full, I thought it was because a creditor beat you up, turns out you encountered so backlash."

He paused, again recalling his childhood experience of a flood, a dark and chaotic rainy night, hiding scared on a high dam. He thought of the distance from East Lake Port to Central Province, with countless people along the banks suffering from the flood, dead or holess.

Jiang Yuan imdiately empathized, gritting his teeth in hatred for the culprit, "Serves you right! You caused the death of so many innocents, and you only suffered a bit of backlash. You deserve to beg for life without finding death."

Zeyang's mind buzzed, belatedly realizing, damn, the guy who suddenly barged into his cave dwelling was a human cultivator.

So, he's here to support those flood-affected mortals!

"Friend, calm down. The flood isn't my fault. It's all Zhao Yan's fault. He attacked first; if I didn't fight back, I would have died. I'm a victim too." Terrified, he thought only of begging for rcy, trying to shift the bla onto Zhao Yan.

Otherwise, if the Heaven Water Mirror went out of control and caused such a disaster, drowning who knows how many mortals, wouldn't it an being torn apart?

While begging for rcy, Zeyang was extrely annoyed.

If only he had a Teleportation Talisman, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Damn, he was too careless!

He thought only of his cave dwelling being a supre treasure, so solid that even Zhao Yan's thods couldn't budge it an inch; with the Heaven Water Mirror continuously gushing torrents of water, unless one specialized in Water Elent Techniques, other Demon Cultivators couldn't get past the water's surface.

Under such double protection, naturally he felt secure, so Zeyang didn't bother humbling himself to Huang Shan for valuable and essential items like a Teleportation Talisman. A montary negligence, and he was now about to lose his life here, feeling extrely wronged.

"Cut the crap, where's the Heaven Water Mirror?" Jiang Yuan saw the health bar going down automatically by -5, -6 due to severe injuries; afraid he'd die too fast, he hurriedly rummaged through his belongings, trying to find the hidden treasure.

The upgraded Soul-Devouring Demon Skill hadn't been put to use yet, and collecting the Starry Shell Cave Dwelling consud five hundred years of lifespan, didn't he have to find a way to get it back?

Zeyang was dumbstruck, wondering how this guy knew everything?

The Heaven Water Mirror was a supre treasure passed down from his master, and even his long-ti friend Huang Shan didn't know its details or na, so the little bird couldn't have known to deliver the ssage. Who exactly was this guy to even know about the Heaven Water Mirror?

"Not talking, huh? Then don't bla for using Soul Searching Technique." After a few shakes without a treasure dropping, Jiang Yuan simply grabbed his shoulder and activated the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill, preparing to refine him in an instant.

[Lifespan 15 years]

[Lifespan 17 years]

...

The Level Three Soul-Devouring Demon Skill was more efficient and faster.

Previously, the system ssages would pop up with a few seconds in between, but now, every two to three seconds there was a dozen-year increase in lifespan, and watching the balance slowly accumulate, it felt amazing!

The catfish demon being drained of lifespan didn't feel great at all.

He could feel his life force slipping away, but no matter how he struggled, the other's hand held onto his shoulder like a giant suction cup, and his severe injuries left him powerless to resist.

Thinking of the terrifying Soul Searching Technique waiting for him, Zeyang shivered, "Friend, spare , I... I'll take you to find the Heaven Water Mirror; please spare my life. In the path of cultivation, killing and incurring karma is to be avoided. You're a high-level cultivator, don't get burdened with the responsibility of killing soone as useless as …"

"Oh? So you know that killing and incurring karma is to be avoided?" Jiang Yuan was amused, "You caused the floods for your own selfish purposes, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, yet you made no effort to redy it, allowing the Heaven Water Mirror to spew forth water. Killing you isn't murder, it's justice on behalf of heaven!"

The Soul-Devouring Demon Skill recovered 117 years of lifespan from Zeyang, and as the other's cheeks sunk in, hair turned white, and eyes grew dull, clearly near death's door, Jiang Yuan finally stopped and activated the Soul Searching Technique.

A demon cultivator dying from the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill wouldn't leave any remains, but with the Soul Searching Technique, perhaps a whole corpse could remain, maybe even explode so equipnt.

[Zeyang's Soul-Searching Notes]

As the results of the search printed into a book and fell into the Storage Bag, in extre agony, the catfish demon's health bar hit zero, completely extinguishing the last spark of life.

With the huge original form revealing again, two gleaming silver spoils burst out.
