Chapter 703: Chapter 703: The Great Escape

Finally.

As expected.

After five instances of Instantaneous Movement, the power of thunder and lightning within him was utterly depleted.

He could no longer flee.

At this moment, he was already over two hundred miles deep into the Vast Sea.

It could be considered as entering the depths of the sea.

He felt the intense approach of the Demon Emperor’s aura.

Decisively, he took out the Water-Repelling Pearl and swallowed it whole.

Then dived into the sea.

A large amount of seawater filled his mouth, rushing into his body.

The Water-Repelling Pearl absorbed all the seawater that entered his body.

It filtered the air from the water and expelled the seawater out.

Thus repeated.

The Water-Repelling Pearl continuously extracted air, supplying Jiang Fan’s entire body.

Enabling Jiang Fan to survive without breathing underwater, impossible to drown.

No time to marvel at its magic.

Jiang Fan decisively swam towards the deepest part of the Vast Sea.

The sea, hundreds of fathoms deep, was utterly dark, impenetrable by sight.

The reason Wang Chongxiao managed to escape from Sky Demon Emperor’s pursuit was mostly due to utilizing the ocean floor’s properties.

Gurgle——

The slight trouble was.

A struggle in Jiang Fan’s arms.

It was the Little Qilin experiencing distress.

Jiang Fan realized with panic.

He had actually forgotten the Little Qilin.

It too needed to breathe.

Just as Jiang Fan was about to take out the Water-Repelling Pearl to use alternately with the Little Qilin.

The Little Qilin quieted down again.

This startled Jiang Fan, worried it had drowned?

Pulled open his robe to look inside, Jiang Fan was astonished.

But saw a faint golden light emanating from the Little Qilin’s belly.

Vaguely visible, a round pearl was emitting a gentle Buddhist light.

It separated the surrounding water, creating a space.

The Little Qilin blinked its big eyes and said, “Master, this pearl glows.”

Merit Divine Pearl?

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

This pearl could sense its host’s danger and provide assistance.

It truly was magical.

In this way, there were no more worries.

Not long after.

He felt his feet gained footing, surrounded by densely packed shadows.

He should have fallen into a crevice of a coral group.

This was even safer.

Of course, to be safe, Jiang Fan also took out and wore the Turtle Breath Cloak.

He didn’t believe even this could lead the Demon Emperor to find him.

Boom——

A thunderous roar sounded overhead.

The Demon Emperor had pursued him.

But the Vast Sea was too deep.

Even if he randomly attacked the sea, the Nascent Soul Power released would be absorbed by seawater.

Aside from causing towering waves, it had nearly no impact on the sea bottom.

Jiang Fan was completely at ease.

He only needed to silently wait for the Demon Emperor to give up, then he could ascend ashore from elsewhere and quietly return to the Human Clan.

“The Water-Repelling Pearl really helped me a lot.”

exclaimed Jiang Fan.

It seemed like inadvertently saving Mu Ziyu once, but in fact, also saved his own life.

Otherwise, if he ran on land.

By now, the Demon Emperor would have caught up and smashed him to pieces with one palm.

“Jiang Fan!”

“Come out!!”

Relentlessly bombarded the nearby seawater for a while.

But still could not see any trace of Jiang Fan.

Sky Demon Emperor was furious.

At this moment.

Seeing Concubine Yunxia rushing over, his anger flared up:

“What are you doing here?”

“Afraid I’ll kill him? Feeling sorry for him?”

The more he thought, the more suspicious it became.

Concubine Yunxia’s attitude towards Jiang Fan, a stark contrast before and after, was enough.

This trip to the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion was highly unusual!

“I ask you, you’ve been with Jiang Fan all along.”

“He went to the inner mansion, you wouldn’t know?”

“Or did he take you with him?”

“You conspired with him to deceive me?”

Concubine Yunxia did not deny it and said: “I didn’t mean to deceive you.”

“But, I also want to break through to the Demon Emperor Realm.”

Knowing she truly went in with Jiang Fan secretly.

Filled with anger.

Grabbed Concubine Yunxia’s arms forcefully, shaking her:

“What did you do inside?”

“Did you do anything that lets me down?”

“Speak!!!”

Concubine Yunxia looked at her husband in front of her, her expression calm.

One had ruined her Nascent Soul path and took possession of her.

One drank poison for her, giving her a chance to live.

Comparing the two…

No, Sky Demon Emperor was simply no match for Jiang Fan!

She coldly said, “You can underestimate me.”

“But please don’t underestimate Jiang Fan’s integrity.”

Sky Demon Emperor was angered.

He slapped her on the face: “Shameless harlot!”

“Dare to plead for him!”

Concubine Yunxia’s face burned, and a trickle of blood crept from the corner of her mouth.

Her expression remained calm, just as her heart towards Sky Demon Emperor.

Like stagnant water.

“If he truly intended to own my body, when I was captured by him, he would have possessed it countless times.”

“Unlike you, afraid of death when you want to possess.”

Concubine Yunxia said calmly.

Her words full of irony.

Only then did the Demon Emperor realize a bit.

Concubine Yunxia had Divinity Transformation Blood Essence within her.

He dared not force her, if Jiang Fan dared to be forceful when capturing her, he would have been obliterated long ago.

Furthermore, the character of Concubine Yunxia was something he had secretly observed many times.

It can be said with certainty.

She wasn’t the sort of person who would do something against her husband behind his back.

Knew he had wronged her.

The Demon Emperor’s voice softened: “I care too much for you.”

“Does it hurt?”

He reached out to touch Concubine Yunxia’s swollen cheek.

But she moved aside expressionless and said softly: “Demon Emperor, please conduct yourself with dignity.”

The Demon Emperor’s anger flared again.

Resentment accumulated over the years erupted at this moment.

“What exactly do you want from me?”

“Five years, and you wouldn’t even let me touch a single finger?”

Though possessing the first beauty of the Demon Race.

No one knew he couldn’t even touch a finger!

Let alone her heart!

For so many years, Concubine Yunxia hadn’t even given him a single smile.

Treating him like a stranger!

He had no doubt, one day if he fell.

Concubine Yunxia would also remain expressionless, with not a tear shed for him.

Concubine Yunxia looked calmly, said:

“You wanted me to marry you, I married.”

“Wanted me to be loyal and faithful, I did so.”

“What more do you want?”

The Demon Emperor felt stifled in his chest.

True.

These were not disputed.

But, was this what he wanted?

He wanted Concubine Yunxia to be intimate with him, to admire and adore him!

Not to be distant like the heavens!

“I admit, back then, I severed your Demon Emperor path.”

“But didn’t I take you as a concubine? Didn’t I favor you the most?”

“Of the thirty-six concubines, who is more favored than you?”

“Is this still not enough?”

In the seabed.

Jiang Fan listened with secret contempt.

Severing your Demon Emperor path… what a light statement.

The Sky Demon Emperor himself, to maintain his rule, did not hesitate to start wars consuming the Demon Race’s powerhouses.

To prevent other Demon Races from replicating his path, he strictly guarded the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion.

Fearful Jiang Fan would leak the opportunity to break through to the Demon Emperor, he spared no cost in trying to kill him.

One could say, for the sake of the Demon Emperor throne, he had gone mad.

The ridiculous part.

When it came to others, it was brushed off lightly.

If someone had severed his Demon Emperor path, he would have already annihilated the entire family.

Even more despicable.

Craving Concubine Yunxia’s beauty and forcing her to marry him.

Yet in his words, it became a favor to Concubine Yunxia.

Only Concubine Yunxia’s nature of indifference, without desire, power or wealth.

Any other woman would loathe the Sky Demon Emperor to the core.

Where did he get the nerve for this moral coercion?

Fortunately, Concubine Yunxia didn’t buy into it.

No matter how affectionately Demon Emperor spoke.

She remained calm as still water, indifferently said:

“Demon Emperor, attend to important matters.”

“Between you and me, there’s no personal affair to discuss.”

Seeing the churning sea surface, with no sign of Jiang Fan.

She secretly rejoiced.

It seemed the Demon Emperor couldn’t find Jiang Fan.

How wonderful.

He survived.

Sky Demon Emperor clenched his fist.

Facing Concubine Yunxia, who treated him like air.

Felt like punching cotton, nowhere to exert force.

Seemingly, no matter what he did, he couldn’t get her body or her heart.

Frustratedly, he stomped on the Vast Sea.

Dozens of feet of spray shot up high.

Under the sun’s rays, refracted into shimmering golden light, extraordinarily dazzling.

Golden light…

Suddenly.

An inspiration struck Sky Demon Emperor’s mind.

Looking down at the ink-black sea, he revealed a slight teasing smile:

“Jiang Fan!”

“Did you really think I couldn’t find you?”

“Hehe!”
