At the critical moment, Wang Xiaoqiang's mind flashed and his thoughts moved. The Patterned Beast flew out from his back, materialized, and roared thunderously at the Stars Chess Formation in the sky before turning abruptly and charging towards the North Sea Demon King.

The North Sea Demon King was controlling the enormous Evil Formation without any protection on himself. Seeing the opponent's Pet Beast pouncing, he panicked. In his fluster, the spell in his hands became chaotic.

As his spell became chaotic, the Stars Chess Formation in the sky also became disordered. The spiritual pressure enveloping Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly scattered.

Without the suppression of the spiritual pressure, Wang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to leap out, flying northward to escape.

As the Patterned Beast pounced towards the North Sea Demon King, it opened its mouth and sprayed a tangible flame.

The North Sea Demon King dodged aside. His spell became chaotic again, causing the Stars Chess Formation to become disordered once more.

After spraying the flame, the Patterned Beast suddenly paused in midair and then retreated, spreading its wings to fly toward the northern horizon.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang and his Pet Beast both flying away, the North Sea Demon King felt extremely furious. He changed the spell in his hands and shouted, "Reform! Thousand-Mile Soul Pursuit!"

With his shout, the Stars Chess Formation in the sky vibrated thunderously and transformed. All the Fiendish Demon faces turned in the direction Wang Xiaoqiang was fleeing, snarled, and then lined up in a long chain, pursuing Wang Xiaoqiang.

The North Sea Demon King flew up, closely following behind, controlling the Evil Formation.

"Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar...!"

As the hundreds of Fiendish Demons chased, they emitted strange howls, causing Wang Xiaoqiang to feel a soul-separating pain. It made him dizzy and his body wavered. Just as he was about to fall from the sky, the Patterned Beast arrived and timely bore his body.

Thousand-Mile Soul Pursuit, truly extraordinary!

This Thousand-Mile Soul Pursuit not only pursues the person but also their soul. No matter how far one runs, as long as the Fiendish Demons emit their soul-shaking howls, one's soul and spirit can be disturbed.

Wang Xiaoqiang stabilized his heart with Earth Element Spiritual Qi and cleared his mind with Water Element Spiritual Qi, barely maintaining his composure. While steering the Patterned Beast to escape urgently, he drew the Sun-Shooting Bow, turned, and shot an arrow at the pursuing Fiendish Demons.

The Gang Qi Arrow, accompanied by electric arcs, shot toward the leading Fiendish Demon.

Whish!

As the sound of the arrow cutting through the air rang out, the Fiendish Demon at the front suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a black Evil Qi Arrow at the Gang Qi Arrow.

The next moment...

Gang Qi Arrow collided with the Evil Qi Arrow.

Bang!

The collision produced a loud explosion as both arrows burst into nothingness.

The powerful shockwave temporarily hindered the Fiendish Demons' advance.

Seeing the effectiveness of the arrow, Wang Xiaoqiang repeated the tactic, instantly shooting another arrow.

Whish!

As the arrow reached its target, the leading Fiendish Demon again spat out an Evil Qi Arrow.

With a bang, the two arrows collided and exploded.

The powerful shockwave again halted the Fiendish Demons' advance.

The North Sea Demon King, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's arrows repeatedly hindering the Fiendish Demons, changed his spell and shouted, "Reform, advance side by side!"

Before the words fell, the Fiendish Demons scattered and then advanced side by side, competing to pursue Wang Xiaoqiang.

During the pursuit, all the Fiendish Demons opened their mouths and spat out Evil Qi Arrows, aiming at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Penglai Immortal Sword, continuously swinging and deflecting the incoming arrows.

"Demon Phantom Eye, kill!" the North Sea Demon King roared. Instantly, the hundreds of Fiendish Demons' eyes widened, emitting red light from their pupils, shooting Demon Light like infrared beams at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing the hundreds of red beams, Wang Xiaoqiang's thoughts moved, and the Patterned Beast descended swiftly, becoming invisible.

The hundreds of Demon Lights missed, and the target vanished from sight, causing the Fiendish Demons to appear confused.

The North Sea Demon King's expression changed, then he waved his hand, and red light flashed before his eyes,

Immediately, his eerie red eyes scanned the area and spotted Wang Xiaoqiang and his pet. He shouted, "Below, near the sea surface, kill them!"

Receiving the command, the hundreds of Fiendish Demons turned their heads downward and emitted eerie red light from their eyes once more.

Seeing that even the invisible Patterned Beast couldn't escape the North Sea Demon King's sight, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a surge of panic. As he saw the hundreds of beams coming, his mind moved, and the Patterned Beast plunged into the sea.

Splash!

The master and pet dived into the water, evading another attack.

Seeing the Patterned Beast uncomfortable in the water, Wang Xiaoqiang moved his thoughts, and the Patterned Beast transformed into an immaterial form, attaching to his back as a tattoo.

With another thought, 50,000 drops of Spiritual Spring flew out from his body, forming a Spirit Spring Submarine around him.

In a swoosh, the Spirit Spring Submarine carried him rapidly into the depths of the sea.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang and his pet fleeing into the water, the North Sea Demon King felt a wave of helplessness,

His Fiendish Demons couldn't enter the water, rendering the Stars Chess Killing Formation useless.

Helplessly, he recalled the hundreds of Fiendish Demons and then, with a swift swoosh, dove into the water, pursuing Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang was unsure if the North Sea Demon King's Stars Chess Formation could operate underwater, so he continued diving desperately in the Spirit Spring Submarine.

The North Sea Demon King followed from a distance, unable to summon Fiendish Demons or form the Stars Chess Formation underwater, so he did not dare pursue too closely.

As Wang Xiaoqiang fled, he suddenly heard a melodious sound of strings and flutes from ahead.

Looking up, he saw a faint light in the dark waters and an elegant, clear, and majestic pavilion appeared ahead.

The sound of strings and flutes came from the pavilion.

"How is there a pavilion underwater? It must belong to the Demon Race! Hmm, I must not fall for their trick..." Thinking this, Wang Xiaoqiang turned the Spirit Spring Submarine toward the left.

After not going far, he heard the sound of strings and flutes again. Looking up, he saw another majestic and elegant pavilion ahead, the sound emanating from it.

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat as he turned the Spirit Spring Submarine to the right again,

But soon, he heard the sound of strings and flutes again and saw another majestic pavilion ahead, the sound coming from it.

Looking at the pavilion, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a wave of frustration and helplessness. This was the same pavilion he had seen before, both ahead and to the left—a Demon Race Illusion Technique and Soul-Entrancing Formation, making escape impossible.

Thinking this, Wang Xiaoqiang steeled himself and drove the Spirit Spring Submarine towards the pavilion.

The pursuing North Sea Demon King halted when he heard the sound of strings and flutes and saw the pavilion, knowing that Wang Xiaoqiang had no way out.

He had encountered Ripple of the Heavenly Demoness, who resided in the depths of the North Sea, a Demon Realm genius with unparalleled demonic power.

Rumors in the Martial World had it that when Lianyi, the Heavenly Demoness, emerged, it would bring bloody winds and rain, a foe even the North Sea Demon King could not contend with, so he wisely chose to retreat.
