Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Such strong soul energy..." Ye Ge squinted his eyes.

Ye Yulong and the others were immediately alerted, and their expressions turned serious.

It seems that Count Condé preserved some of his strength when he was defending the city!

Earl Kant gathered rich blue soul energy in his hands, his palms facing down, his gaze gloomy. His two hanging arms seemed to be gradually melting, and light blue, slightly viscous water slowly flowed down his arms to his feet, accumulating into small puddles on the ground.

"Fourth-tier superpower—Water Gu Man!"

Then, one after another, humanoid creatures, soaking wet, slowly rose from the pool of water, eventually transforming into more than a dozen warriors.

These warriors who emerged from the water all looked no different from normal humans, but their eyes were lifeless and unfocused, making them look like half-dead living dead.

Ye Yang frowned: "I originally thought he ran away without taking any followers, but I didn't expect him to bring a few men with him. But why do these people look so strange?"

Ye Ge explained calmly, "Water Gu People are a type of ability possessed by water-attribute superhumans."

"He can capture many humans and raise them in the form of Gu, keeping them in a water cage world inside his body. These people will kill each other in the cage, and he can also eat other Gu people in the same cage as him, eventually becoming the strongest Gu warrior."

"As the host of these water-gu warriors, Kant can not only summon them to fight at any time, but also devour these water-gu warriors in his body at any time to replenish his power."

"...Tch, that sounds like a weird superpower." Ye Yang curled his lip. "Fancy stuff, I'd like to see how powerful it really is."

After saying that, he pushed off with his feet and charged out like a nimble leopard!

"Third-tier demonic martial skill - Demonic Fist!"

Ye Yang was enveloped in purple demonic energy and punched the chest of the water gu warrior closest to him.

However, the water gu warrior didn't move at all.

The face, ashen as a corpse, lowered its head and gave him a cold look.

Ye Yang's expression changed instantly, and he was about to withdraw his fist.

However, the water gu warrior grabbed his wrist with a "snap" and then elbowed him in the ribs!

Ye Yang grunted, and just as he was about to retaliate, the water gu man grabbed the back of his clothes by the collar and threw him out with a sudden over-the-shoulder throw.

The force of the fall was much greater than it appeared to the naked eye. Ye Yang's body flew out in a straight line, crashing into several large trees in the dark jungle before finally letting out a heavy thud.

Ye Yulong and Ye Qingxin were startled.

You should know that Ye Yang is a man who puts all his points into attack and burst damage. Although he is only at the Thousand Soul Realm, even a Shura Realm cultivator would probably have to take several steps back if hit by his punch. I didn't expect that he couldn't even break through the defense of this water gu warrior?

"Although you anticipated my thoughts and actions," Count Kant said sinisterly, "don't forget, this is a world of extraordinary beings, where strength is the only true measure of power! Night Owl only sent you juniors to intercept me, clearly thinking my sixth-level Asura Realm strength is a joke? Heh... then today I will make you all pay with your lives!"

As he spoke, he crossed his hands and raised them, the pale blue soul power glowing faintly in his palms, and the dozen or so water gu warriors rushed forward together.

Ye Yulong and Ye Qingxin's dozens of black-clad subordinates immediately rushed forward and engaged in battle with the water Gu people.

However, those water gu warriors displayed extremely strong combat power.

The attacks of dozens of men in black seemed to have no effect on these water-gu people, who easily took them all down.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yulong immediately activated his demonic transformation mode.

Ye Qingxin also placed the heavy sniper rifle on her back, then pulled out two pistols from the leg wraps on her long legs. While moving nimbly through the woods, she fired a burst of fire at the water gu people who rushed up.

Yege retreated to a safe position without hesitation.

He stood on a tree trunk, observing the battle situation.

At the same time, he raised his hand and made a gesture, indicating that the militiamen should set up a concentrated fire formation according to their prior training.

'No, normal attacks can't break through the defense at all...' Ye Qingxin frowned. The magazines of both pistols were completely emptied, but they had no effect.

These water-gu people seemed to have a thin layer of soul power on their bodies, forming a protective film.

Moreover, Ye Qingxin sensed that this soul power was extremely turbid, as if it were the fusion of the soul power of at least hundreds of people.

She quickly came up with an idea.

These hundreds of people should all be other human warriors who were once locked in a water cage with him, raised as Gu people, and then eaten!

"Second-tier Demonic Technique - Dragon's Claw!"

In his demon form, Ye Yulong used his speed to bypass the water-gu people. In his demon form, his hands mutated into claws like a demonic dragon, and with a flap of his demonic wings, he charged towards Earl Kant.

Count Kant glanced at him, then murmured, "First-tier ability—Flow Barrier."

A thin, flowing wall of pale blue soul power condensed in front of him.

Ye Yulong plunged his claw into the water wall.

Then the flowing water ran down his arms and enveloped his entire body, making it difficult for him to break free for a moment.

'This water is so heavy...' Ye Yulong cursed under his breath. 'Damn it, I underestimated this old guy!'

"Hole--"

At that moment, a buzzing sound, as if some kind of energy beam was tearing through the air, could be heard.

The beam of light easily passed through the water barrier in front of Count Kant and struck his body directly.

"Uh!..." Count Kant groaned, his pupils widened, and he instinctively bent over, clutching his chest, with an incredulous expression.

[System: Target successfully hit]

[System: Ignores defense, deals true damage, target's HP -2500]

Night Song held a magic-powered pistol, and in front of him appeared a transparent system panel that only he could see, displaying the data from the shot he had just fired.

Ye Qingxin paused for a moment, then turned to look at the forest from which the energy beam had just been emitted.

What was that just now?

Is that a beam bullet from a magic gun?

But... I clearly felt that the energy and power of that shot weren't very strong, yet it actually pierced through Earl Kant's water spirit power barrier with a single shot?
