Egg-born suddenly appeared in front of Yu Hua, blocking the attacker’s strike. "So it’s a cat demon."
Indeed, the demon cultivator was a cat demon. However, likely due to limited cultivation, it still retained its tail and facial whiskers, looking rather strange.
"Your Majesty, please rest aside and do not move. We will handle this matter," Mo Changhen said as he and Feng Miaoling emerged.
Yu Hua nodded slightly. "Thank you for your trouble." He cooperatively stepped to the side.
Egg-born looked at the cat demon. "You are a semi-humanized cat demon. Instead of cultivating properly, you come out to cause trouble. It seems you do not wish to live."
"Meow. The ones who don’t want to live are you. As long as we kill this emperor, we can devour the nation’s fortune. Then I can truly transform into a human. Meow." The cat demon’s red eyes stared at Egg-born.
"Your eyes are red. You are no longer a normal demon cultivator. You have become an evil cultivator," Egg-born said calmly.
"As demon cultivators, human fortune and national destiny are the most forbidden things to touch. You actually want to steal national fortune for cultivation. I truly admire your audacity. However, you really disgrace us demons. There are no shortcuts in cultivation."
Egg-born spoke calmly, appearing earnest and sincere.
"You are also a demon cultivator." The cat demon sniffed the air, looking at Egg-born.
Egg-born nodded. "Unfortunately, unlike you evil cultivator, I am a true Dao-following demon. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao has destined that I must kill you."
After speaking, Egg-born attacked. Although Egg-born possessed wood attributes, every move contained intense killing intent.
Although the cat demon was currently only semi-humanized, its cultivation was not weak. Having consumed some human fortune recently, its power was considerable. Egg-born’s tight pressure did not make it panic. Although at a disadvantage, it was not easy for Egg-born to kill it immediately.
Cats have nine lives, indicating their extremely keen adaptability to dangerous environments.
It was once said that when a group of cats was pushed from a height of three hundred meters, the survival rate exceeded seventy percent. This shows how powerful a cat’s adaptability is.
However, this does not mean cats truly have nine lives, but rather reflects their resilience.
Cat bones are the most flexible in the world. They can adjust their flexibility according to the environment, using surrounding objects to escape smoothly.
The cat demon before them was exactly like this. Although at a disadvantage, its resilience was good. Therefore, Egg-born could not kill it easily in a short time.
However, there were seven demon cultivators who came to ambush. Egg-born and his companions did not know this, but they knew there was definitely more than one enemy.
Sure enough, at this moment, a hundred-legged shadow lunged toward Yu Hua.
"Careful." Feng Miaoling flashed forward, directly striking the shadow. It fell to the ground, taking human form, but with antennae on its head.
"A hundred-legged demon cultivator." Feng Miaoling frowned slightly.
As a girl, she disliked snakes and insects the most. Feng Miaoling was no exception. She immediately took out realgar.
Realgar is a general nemesis of hundred insects. Seeing this, the hundred-legged demon retreated a distance. It looked at Feng Miaoling with fierce eyes. "Little girl, get lost."
"You get lost," Feng Miaoling replied defiantly. "Someone like you, neither human nor demon, dares to speak like this in front of me? Aren’t you ashamed? If you want to roll away, go ahead. I really want to see if a hundred-legged centipede like you has the skill to roll away."
"I’ll roll away? Hmph. That depends on whether you have the ability." The hundred-legged demon turned around, transforming into a centipede nearly two meters long. Green light emitted from its body, looking particularly disgusting.
"This centipede has lived for many years. Catching it for medicine should be effective," Zhu Yanyi said, watching from the side with her chin resting on her hand.
Ouyang Mingyue, Silver Fox, and the Ruthless Gentleman looked at Zhu Yanyi simultaneously. Yan Aohan nodded seriously. "It seems to have five or six hundred years of cultivation. But why is it so unprogressive? It still hasn’t shed that hundred-legged skin." Yan Aohan clicked his tongue, expressing particular regret.
Ouyang Mingyue, Silver Fox, and the Ruthless Gentleman turned their gaze to Yan Aohan.
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "It can only be said that her talent is poor. But it doesn’t matter. Centipedes for medicine don’t need good talent, as long as the medicinal effect is good."
"That’s right. What my wife says is too correct," Yan Aohan agreed, nodding.
"You two couples. The fighting is still going on below. If you want to use it for medicine, you should act yourselves," Ouyang Mingyue protested, unable to bear it anymore.
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi glanced at Ouyang Mingyue. "Isn’t there still one standing? I will act when they are too busy to handle it."
It turned out that because Mo Changhen had not acted, Zhu Yanyi temporarily did not want to act either.
However, Mo Changhen acted soon. A mist appeared, and then the former state preceptor, a weasel, appeared with four other demons.
"State Preceptor?" Yu Hua naturally recognized the weasel.
"Your Majesty, greetings. Your Majesty, I give you a chance. As long as you submit to me, I will spare your life." The weasel’s eyes were full of seriousness. He looked at the people fighting nearby, appearing confident.
"No. You are not the State Preceptor. You are a monster," Yu Hua said slowly. "Since you are not the State Preceptor but a monster, how could I submit to you? You are thinking too much."
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit cup. Since that is the case, your life can only last until today." Hearing Yu Hua’s words, the weasel’s expression turned ugly. He waved his hand directly. The four demons behind him instantly lunged forward, targeting Yu Hua.
Seeing this, Yan Aohan tapped his finger. A small barrier appeared around Yu Hua. Mo Changhen blocked two demons. The other two lunged toward Yu Hua. Just as Mo Changhen and the others were startled, thinking it would be bad, they saw the two demon cultivators seem to be blocked by something. An invisible shockwave sent the two demons flying far away.
Yu Hua had been worried, but seeing this, he understood clearly. Someone was secretly protecting him. Therefore, he was even less afraid. He faced the weasel calmly. "Monster, you are cultivators. Cultivators must not do evil. You not only do evil, but you have gone too far. Are you not afraid that the Heavenly Dao will not let you off?"
"Today I will devour your fortune and the national fortune of Great Yu. The Heavenly Dao cannot even find me. How can it act against me?" The weasel was particularly proud. This was his skill.
"Defeated loser, boasting wildly." Zhu Yanyi emerged from the shadows.
