"The Water Devil is coming, prepare yourselves!" Li Zhirui sensed the tumultuous disturbances underwater and calmly reminded everyone. Li Zhirui's hunting team consisted of only eight members, and in terms of both numbers and strength, they were significantly inferior to the teams led by the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators. That's why he chose the northern area, where historically, his family had slain the most Water Devils. It was exactly for this reason that Water Devils were rare in the north. To save time, Li Zhirui had gone to the Marketplace to buy several bottles of Devil-Attracting Liquid, and the current commotion was the result of Water Devils drawn by the liquid. Li Zhirui sensed that the number of attracted Water Devils wasn't large, so he had no intention of taking action himself. One reason was to allow the clansmen on the ship to get some practice, and the other was to take this opportunity to acquire some resources. It was foreseeable that, following this hunt by the Li family, and the beast tide that would come not long after, there would probably be no Water Devils within two hundred miles of Da Rong Island for a short period. Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, grasping her sword in her right hand as mana surged within her, ready to unleash a fierce blade of sword light the moment the Water Devil appeared. After years of cultivation, Li Zhixuan had reached the fifth layer of the Qi Cultivation Stage. Although she was no match for Li Zhiyue, who was the same age as her, her rate of cultivation was far from the slowest. The most important reason for such an accomplishment was Li Zhixuan's relentless effort! Since breaking through to the fourth layer of the Qi Cultivation Stage, she had joined the family hunting team, participating consistently except for the time she was in seclusion to make a breakthrough. Although each hunt was led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it didn't mean there was no danger at all. In the event of a minor beast tide, even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't protect so many clansmen. Even though Li Zhixuan had faced danger several times, she never gave up the idea of hunting! It was precisely hunting that brought her many gains and, along with the monthly allowance from the family, allowed her cultivation to progress at such a swift pace. "Ha!" No sooner had a fish-shaped Water Devil surfaced than Li Zhixuan had her eyes on it. With a sharp cry, she unleashed a white sword light infused with a vast amount of mana, instantly cleaving the Water Devil in two with the razor-sharp Geng Metal's power. Watching from above, Li Zhirui's eyes flashed with surprise, as this sword light actually bore hints of the nature of Sword Qi.@@@@ Although Li Zhirui was not a Sword Cultivator, with his current realm, he naturally had a deeper understanding of the Sword Dao. Inside the Corrosive Water Gourd were several kinds of poison he had incorporated, which could not be purged without a second-order Detoxification Pill. Bang! The giant fish, distracted by the barrage of arrows, didn't notice the huge serpent close behind. If not for the serpent's movement being too great, which allowed it to dodge in the nick of time, it would have been bitten, and once the poison entered its body, it would quickly lose its combat effectiveness. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire Nevertheless, the giant fish's body was still grazed by the poisonous fangs, and the toxin had begun to invade its system. Although the fish demon wasn't as intellectually gifted as Da Qing, being a second-order water devil, it knew it was no match for Li Zhirui and immediately tried to dive deep into the sea to escape. Unfortunately for it, the corrosive water serpent was there, and under Li Zhirui's control, the serpent tightly coiled around the fish demon, not giving it any chance to flee. Ultimately, under Li Zhirui's persistent attack, the fish demon met its end, its vast body floating on the sea's surface. Li Zhirui waved to collect the corrosive water back into the gourd. Although not all of it could be collected, it saved some mana or Spirit Stone expenditure, and only then did he store the water devil's carcass in his storage bag. "What a pity, the corrosive water is poisonous, so this fish demon's body can't be used to make Spirit Food," Li Zhirui murmured regretfully. While it was impossible to make second-order Spirit Food, the Spirit Chef could surely derive some benefits for Foundation Establishment cultivators from a second-order fish demon. Ignoring the astonished gazes of the people around him, Li Zhirui controlled the sea vessel to leave the area, but he did not completely depart. Instead, he hid nearby, using the dense blood qi here to attract more water devils. "Recover your mana quickly, we might be in for a fierce battle soon!" Li Zhirui reminded them. It was not even half a moment before a water devil covered in sharp spikes appeared, followed by more water devils one after another. The moment they encountered each other, they began a fierce battle. "Altogether twenty-eight first-order water devils. Let them fight one another first, you all should recover some more mana for now." After all, if the situation didn't get too dangerous later, Li Zhirui wouldn't intervene in the fight.
