Chapter 2078: Slain with Two Slaps!
Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Yu’s figure transformed into a shadow, flying towards the distant sky.
This battle, under the Purple Tiger’s shocking strike, ended very quickly.
The two experts from the Withered Water Wood Clan, along with their Companion Beasts, none escaped!
Zhou Yu was utterly stunned.
Of course, after the shock, Zhou Yu also discovered the reason.
During this period, the Purple Tiger spent most of its time sleeping in the Four Directions Realm.
Zhou Yu had not set up any defenses against the Purple Tiger, allowing it to move freely within the Four Directions Realm.
As a result, this fellow took several carefully nurtured Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicines as snacks from Zhou Yu.
Eat and sleep, wake up and eat.
Though Zhou Yu considered himself inexperienced in worldly matters.
But he estimated that there weren’t many people on the entire Plane who could lavishly consume Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine like the Purple Tiger.
The outcome of this medicinal diet was that, without realizing it, the Purple Tiger underwent significant changes.
These changes were ones Zhou Yu had not previously noticed.
Of course, the reason Zhou Yu hadn’t noticed was primarily because the Purple Tiger’s physique appeared almost unchanged.
However, just now, when the Purple Tiger unleashed its might, Zhou Yu noticed.
Originally, the purple markings on the Purple Tiger become deeper than ever.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, those purple markings seemed to be glowing.
Additionally, although the Purple Tiger’s physique hadn’t changed, its strength and speed had increased by more than double compared to their first encounter.
Zhou Yu even suspected that if he hadn’t subdued the Purple Tiger, facing it now, escaping would be questionable.
Furthermore, the Purple Tiger could effortlessly manipulate Water and Metal Attribute forces.
This was also why it could easily suppress the two experts of the Withered Water Wood Clan who brought their Companion Beasts.
Of course, the battle process was far easier than imagined.
The Purple Tiger relied on its terrifying Clone Divine Power and speed, almost in a single glance, slaying the two Withered Water Wood Clan experts who had lost their will to fight and were solely intent on escaping.
And the remaining two Companion Beasts before the Purple Tiger were like mice encountering a cat, entirely devoid of any will to resist.
In the end, they were slapped to death by the Purple Tiger directly.
Of course, just before those two died, Zhou Yu seemed to hear them utter words of terror.
Saying "Black Qilin..."
But because they didn’t finish, they died.
Thus, Zhou Yu was left in confusion about it.
However, he didn’t dwell on it; after putting away the Purple Tiger, Zhou Yu fully activated the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder. Finally, two hours later, he left the Black Water Forest.
And shortly after Zhou Yu left the Black Water Forest, two figures stepped out from a green vortex.
These two were precisely the ones beside the Silver Water Realm expert trapped by Ye Ling.
The aura emitted from both far exceeded that of the normal Red Water Realm, clearly indicating that they were Black Water Realm level experts.
Their appearance was precisely at the site where Zhou Yu killed the two Withered Water Wood Clan experts carrying Companion Beasts.
Their faces were extremely grim, searching the surrounding hundred-mile radius.
Finally, the two gathered together.
"No trace left behind."
"That damned human ant has escaped."
"Our clan members have all perished."
"Damn it, I never thought the people dispatched by the Human and Demon Clans this time would be so troublesome."
"Our clan has been painstakingly plotting for days, and in the end, we were only left with one person alive."
"This is simply a shameful disgrace."
"Let’s go back first!"
Having said that, the two entered the green vortex with somber expressions and disappeared.
Of course, Zhou Yu was unaware of all this.
If he had stayed a bit longer and encountered these two Black Water Realm experts equivalent to a Human Race Void Refinement Realm level, his ability to leave would have been questionable.
Meanwhile.
After Zhou Yu escaped, he flew continuously for three days and nights without encountering any further attacks.
It was only then that he slowed down, while recovering his True Yuan, contemplating his next move.
This time, they spent over a year traveling from Fengyuan City to the heart of the Withered Water Wood Clan solely to retrieve that Golden Talisman, but unexpectedly, they failed in the end.
The mission failure left Zhou Yu extremely frustrated.
It’s not the task itself he cared about; it was the mission reward, the Purification Pill!
Only with enough Purification Pills would he be qualified to establish himself in the Heavenly Origin World.
Otherwise, he would constantly be facing the threat of Heavenly Tribulation.
He planned to settle things once and for all, but he didn’t anticipate the constant twists and turns, ending up with nothing.
What should he do now?
Could he return to Fengyuan City?
If he did that, he’d have to get involved in the war between the two clans, with a high probability of being tasked to guard the walls.
Under such circumstances, human lives were as trivial as grass, Zhou Yu self-assessed and felt no certainty in ensuring his own survival.
But if he didn’t return, where would he find Purification Pills?
As Zhou Yu’s expression fluctuated uncertainly, a sudden flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
"No, that’s not right!"
Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something.
"Fengyuan City spent such a hefty price to have them traverse the two clans to retrieve this Golden Talisman."
"Clearly, this Golden Talisman must be of great significance."
"What could be considered greatly significant amidst a war between two clans?"
"Could it be..."
A sparkle flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
"It must be information about the Withered Water Wood Clan."
"Since it’s intelligence, there must be people gathering this intelligence!"
"In other words, within the Withered Water Wood Clan, there are people from the Human and Demon Clans!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu suddenly recalled the unfamiliar voice that came from Ye Ling when they were previously surrounded.
"Could it be..."
At this moment, Zhou Yu already realized something.
The ’hidden figure’, ’Ye Ling’, and ’Talisman’ must have some sort of connection.
"Looks like I need to find Ye Ling!"
Zhou Yu muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming.
As for how to find Ye Ling, it’s much simpler.
When they first gathered, they anticipated the possibility of later getting separated.
Thus, everyone left an imprint of each other’s aura.
Of course, this aura imprint also had distance limitations.
If too far, it could only indicate a rough direction.
But for a group of top-tier talents like them, it was already sufficient.
Zhou Yu immediately took out Ye Ling’s aura imprint and began sensing it.
Soon, he looked to the west.
Afterward, Zhou Yu’s figure dashed towards the west.
However, after half a day of flight, when Zhou Yu sensed Ye Ling’s aura again, he realized that her aura appeared in a different direction.
Zhou Yu was full of confusion but quickly changed direction.
As a result, over the next two days.
Zhou Yu found that every short half-day, Ye Ling would appear in a different direction.
Initially, Zhou Yu was confused, but he soon realized.
Ye Ling must be fleeing for her life!
Realizing this, Zhou Yu’s speed suddenly slowed down.
At the same time, his face showed hesitation.
He had just barely escaped the Withered Water Wood Clan’s attacks, and now, was he going to expose himself again?
This matter required careful consideration.
However, before Zhou Yu could thoroughly ponder, the next moment his expression changed.
"She’s actually heading towards me..."
