"Devil Head!"

The Water Patrol Yakshas' expressions changed in unison.

They had never witnessed such a terrifying Dharma Gate.

It could suck a Cultivator of Dao dry, leaving only skin, in the blink of an eye.

BANG!

A fierce punch landed on the protective demonic miasma of a Water Patrol Yaksha. The turbulent Hunyuan Gang Qi within Qi Xiu surged like a thousand furious waves.

He had successively drained two Dao-Entering Realm Water Patrol Yakshas.

The Hunyuan Gang Qi in his body had reached nearly 2,000 strands.

This amount, even for a Peak Perfection Cultivator of Dao who had achieved Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, was far beyond compare.

The massive amount of Gang Qi surged forth.

With one punch from Qi Xiu, the protective demonic miasma around the Water Patrol Yaksha instantly caved in, forming a huge pit and almost rupturing!

"Let's go! This kid is feigning weakness while harboring strength; he must be a personal disciple from a major Demon Sect. We must hurry back and report to the Dragon King!"

Seeing Qi Xiu's terrifying strength, the Water Patrol Yakshas no longer dared to face him head-on.

Under the lead Water Patrol Yaksha's guidance, the remaining Yakshas poured their demonic power into the surging yellow waves beneath their feet.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—

The raging waves surged, the rising tide seeming to wash away everything. The endless waves, resembling a continuous, dusky yellow mountain range, were unattainable!

As the yellow waves swept across, the Water Patrol Yaksha brandished his flaming steel fork, warily watching Qi Xiu.

Individually, none of them could match this Devil Head. Only by banding together could they resist this scourge's venomous grasp.

Watching the Water Patrol Yakshas trying to escape, the aura around Qi Xiu billowed, and his robes fluttered violently.

He couldn't let them escape back. The effect of the Star Absorption Skill was too heaven-defying, practically a taboo. If the news got out, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of countless people.

With murder in his eyes, Qi Xiu immediately activated the Minor Five Elements Water Patrol Evasion Skill and pursued them.

「...」

The yellow waves carried a formidable force, crushing mountains and overwhelming the land.

Such a grand commotion naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators from the Cultivation Realm, as well as Demonic Evil Cultivators.

However, upon seeing the distinctive dusky yellow tide, the crowd that was initially eager to join in on the excitement suddenly grew subdued.

They only dared to watch from afar, not daring to approach.

"The Yellow Tide Command Water Skill—it's the Water Patrol Yakshas from the Waterfront Dragon Palace. How did they suddenly come here?"

"I heard that the 36 sworn sons of the Linshui Jiaolong Wang came ashore not long ago, seemingly on some mission. This sudden appearance of the Water Patrol Yakshas must also be related to this matter."

"Speaking of which, I heard a while ago that the demonic dragon from Linshui is about to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Once it breaks through, the areas on both sides of the Linshui River will suffer greatly. Even in the Dao Body Realm, it relied on its Dragon Blood, physique, and the geographical advantage of Linshui. With these, it dared to oppose Primordial Spirit Bosses head-on. When it achieves its own Primordial Spirit, wouldn't it become utterly lawless and stir up devastating waves?"

"Indeed. But these are not concerns for us Cultivators of Dao. Even if the sky falls, those major sects and noble families will hold it up. As long as the Gao Family's order to vanquish demons and subjugate monsters is not withdrawn, there will always be someone to hold up the sky."

"Hey, look! Those Water Patrol Yakshas are circling back!"

Watching the murky yellow waves that had made several rounds and turned back again, the observing Human Cultivators and Demonic Evil Cultivators all showed looks of astonishment.

What were they playing at?

"Look! There's someone behind those Water Patrol Yakshas! I get it, they're being hunted!"

As these words came out, a stir of shock went through the crowd.

The onlookers hurriedly leaped into the air, straining their eyes to look towards the direction behind the dusky yellow tide.

Indeed, behind this impressive wave, a faint mist of Water-type Escape Light was in hot pursuit.

The stark contrast, like a cat chasing a tiger, left everyone astounded and bewildered.

"My word! Who is this ruthless individual, daring to hunt down the Water Patrol Yakshas serving that demonic dragon?"

"More than ruthless! This one's a powerhouse! There are at least eight or nine Water Patrol Yakshas standing on that tide. This fellow is single-handedly chasing so many Water Patrol Yakshas that they're fleeing in disarray. A Water-type Escape Light? Which family's prodigy is this?"

Seeing the usually unrestrained Water Patrol Yakshas, who acted with impunity under the Linshui Jiaolong Wang's authority, now being chased all over, people were abuzz with discussion, all wearing expressions of disbelief.

「...」

Closing in on the fleeing Water Patrol Yakshas, Qi Xiu's left hand conjured an Invisible Body-Piercing Sword Qi in the void of his palm.

Then he opened his mouth and exhaled!

A vast expanse of Pure Yang Purple Fire billowed out. In an instant, it clung to the Invisible Body-Piercing Sword Qi.

It abandoned its formless and traceless nature. Infused with Pure Yang Purple Fire, the Invisible Body-Piercing Sword Qi gained even more terrifying destructive power!

Qi Xiu pushed his palm out!

A colossal, terrifying Purple Fire Sword Qi roared forth, striking the towering yellow waves controlled by the Water Patrol Yakshas.

"What's he trying to do?"

Seeing that the Sword Qi, wrapped in ferocious flames, hadn't been aimed at them, the Water Patrol Yakshas were momentarily puzzled.

HISS, HISS—

In the clash of water and fire, billowing white mist instantly rose, as if a great fog had descended from the heavens to envelop the entire world.

"Not good, Eldest Brother! He's going to evaporate the waves beneath our feet!"

The mist spread everywhere, and one of the Water Patrol Yakshas suddenly exclaimed in alarm.

Qi Xiu's sword strike had directly evaporated one-tenth of the dusky yellow waves they stood upon.

"Damn it! We can't let him destroy the yellow waves! Join forces and block his Sword Qi!"

They knew all too well that once the waves beneath them were completely evaporated, they would have no hope of withstanding this Devil Head with his extreme Escape Light.

The lead Water Patrol Yaksha yelled out, and the group of Yakshas raised their flaming steel forks high, igniting the utmost fiery light to intercept Qi Xiu's next slash of Purple Fire Sword Qi!

Fooled!

With a sharp glance, Qi Xiu's figure suddenly twisted and became ethereal.

The next second, his figure instantly shifted to the side of a Water Patrol Yaksha.

His large hand thunderously clamped down!

Star Absorption Skill!

No one had expected Qi Xiu to also possess such a wondrous teleportation Divine Marvel.

The attacked Water Patrol Yaksha was shocked and terrified. That palm, seemingly containing a black hole within it, had already landed on his protective demonic miasma.

Having drained two Water Patrol Yakshas, Qi Xiu now had two Mixed Primordial Beads within him. The pulling power of the Star Absorption Skill directly doubled!

"Eldest Brother, save me!"

The protective demonic miasma visibly dimmed and weakened rapidly. The Water Patrol Yaksha only managed to let out a miserable cry.

"You!"

Turning his head in shock and fury, the lead Water Patrol Yaksha watched helplessly as another of his brothers was sucked into a withered husk. Overcome with rage, he flipped his hand and was about to slam it towards Qi Xiu.

"You dare to match palms with me?"

His eyes narrowing slightly, Qi Xiu showed no fear and raised his hand to meet the large palm of the lead Water Patrol Yaksha.

His expression changing, the lead Water Patrol Yaksha hurriedly retracted his hand and retreated.

But in that moment of hesitation, Qi Xiu had already burst into laughter, transforming into an Escape Light and putting distance between them.

"You Devil Head! Don't push us too far!"

Having lost three brothers consecutively to this Devil Head's hands, the lead Water Patrol Yaksha's eyes were practically splitting with rage. A fiery anger choked him, unable to be vented or swallowed.

Raising one hand high, his Purple Fire Sword Qi shone brilliantly. Qi Xiu raised an eyebrow but didn't speak as he watched the Water Patrol Yakshas.

Yet, his expression seemed to say: This sword, will you defend or not? If you dare to defend, I will seize the opening and take another one of you. If you don't defend, I will evaporate your Yellow Tide Command Water Skill, sword strike by sword strike, until I capture you all!

"Go!"

With a thought, the lead Water Patrol Yaksha snorted angrily. "Push the Yellow Tide with all your might! As long as we can make it back to Linshui, this brat won't be able to touch us."

Ultimately, Qi Xiu's bizarre and terrifying Star Absorption Skill had thoroughly cowed them.

The Water Patrol Yakshas, unwilling to fight him head-on, turned and continuously poured their demonic power into the waves beneath their feet, accelerating their escape towards Linshui.

Seeing these aquatic demons desperately fleeing, Qi Xiu didn't hold back. His Pure Yang Purple Fire Sword Qi slashed down wave after wave, crazily evaporating the waves beneath their feet.

Soon, as the water grew scarcer, there was less and less ground to stand on!

"Eldest Brother!"

His body tilted, and Twelfth Brother, one of the Water Patrol Yakshas, cried out in terror as a hidden hand pushed him off the Yellow Tide's crest.

"Twelfth Brother!"

Watching his brother fall from the wave, the Eldest Brother among the Water Patrol Yakshas roared in grief and fury, "Who did it?! Who?!"

The remaining Water Patrol Yakshas looked at each other, none daring to utter a sound.

At a time like this, who would dare to admit it?

In his anger, the Eldest Brother of the Water Patrol Yakshas was just about to cast a technique to pull Twelfth Brother back.

But the misty Escape Light that had been doggedly pursuing them, like a shark smelling blood, pounced instantly.

A pitch-black hand suddenly reached out from the thin mist, grabbing Twelfth Brother who had fallen from the wave crest and dragging him into the mist.

"AH!"

A brief, agonized scream later, a shriveled Water Patrol Yaksha skin slowly fell out.

"You… sigh, let's go!"

Seeing Twelfth Brother's skin, the lead Water Patrol Yaksha gritted his teeth and sighed. Now was not the time for recriminations.

However, once some things start, they spiral out of control.

The dim yellow waves grew smaller and smaller. The space left viable for standing became increasingly narrow.

"AH! Who the hell pushed me?"

The next victim emerged. This time it was Ninth Brother among the Water Patrol Yakshas. His face full of resentful unwillingness, he glared accusingly at his fellow brothers.

The misty Escape Light surged again.

Another Water Patrol Yaksha skin drifted ghostly down.

One, two, three…

The originally fearsome and towering waves dwindled to a pitiful water column, barely large enough for one person to stand. Of the original 12 Water Patrol Yakshas, only Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother now precariously stood upon the wave crest.

"Sixth Brother! It was you!"

Gazing at Sixth Brother with outraged eyes, the Eldest Brother of the Water Patrol Yakshas' heart ached with pain.

"Eldest Brother! It wasn't me, it really wasn't!"

Explaining subconsciously, Sixth Brother's face suddenly changed. Not me? Then could it be...

Noticing the change in Sixth Brother's expression, the Eldest Brother of the Water Patrol Yakshas suddenly revealed a sinister smile, "Indeed, it's not you. It's me!"

Before his words faded, Eldest Brother ruthlessly struck his last remaining brother, sending him off the wave crest.

Staring wide-eyed at his Eldest Brother, Sixth Brother roared with all his might, "You beast! You're the real snake in the grass!"

"Stop yelling. You think with just the two of you left, you can escape?"

A detached voice spoke. It was followed by the rapid emergence of countless golden light talismans all around. A full thousand Suppressing Talismans materialized, forming a hexagonal prison formation that completely trapped the Yellow Tide's crest.

Suppression Talisman Seal Skill!

All along the way, he had been quietly accumulating the number of talismans. Upon reaching a thousand Suppressing Talismans, Qi Xiu decisively made his move, directly suppressing the entire Yellow Tide wave crest!

"Now, you can take a break."

Having absorbed the entire life's cultivation of ten Water Patrol Yakshas, the number of Mixed Primordial Beads within Qi Xiu had reached an astounding nine!

The aura surging around his body was like a Category 18 hurricane, utterly terrifying.

"Don't be afraid, I, Qi, am just about to…"

Just when Qi Xiu was ready to deal with these last two Water Patrol Yakshas.

「...」

A sonorous and authoritative voice suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

"The time has come!

Shenxiao Sect's Entrance Examination,

officially begins!"
