119: Chapter 52: Explosive Spirit Demon Bull Soul!
‘Bu Linhai’ was showing an abnormal state at this moment.
Blood flowed from wounds in his left shoulder and right arm, a long cut scarred his back, and a clear puncture wound lay in his abdomen, where strands of fresh blood continuously spread through the sea, yet he did not tend to his injuries.
Behind ‘Bu Linhai,’ a dense mass of monstrous beings filled the waters, with those piled at the top almost being squeezed out of the surface.
Li Ping’an looked up and faintly detected the presence of over ten Immortals, feeling slightly more at ease in his heart.
“Junior sister, Brother Yu, retreat!
Brother Gu, slowly retreat while fighting!”
Li Ping’an called out with a transmitted voice, with his right hand forming sword fingers.
“Senior brother, be careful.”
Clouds above the sea, several Immortals from the Sea Watch Sect frowned at the situation below.
At this moment, they could see that ‘Bu Linhai’ seemed crazed, his mind exhibiting some abnormalities;
Yet, they were completely unable to descend into the sea for rescue or to interfere.
There was no other reason; an elder of Wanyun Sect named Yansheng had just appeared and blocked them at this location.
How could Wanyun Sect’s Immortals allow others to disrupt such an opportunity to boost their disciples’ achievements?
Elder Yansheng said indifferently, “Since you have assigned disciples and employed such methods to put my sect’s disciple in a difficult position, why put on an act now?
The disciples below have not asked for help nor are they in life-threatening danger.
By the rules, we shouldn’t interfere.”
The Immortals from Sea Watch Sect replied with furrowed brows, “Fellow Daoist, this matter isn’t trivial!
There are simply too many monsters, and I really fear for the safety of your disciple!”
“Everyone, rest assured!”
Elder Yansheng took a puff of his dry tobacco, as four white-haired True Immortals appeared from the mist behind him.
Elder Yansheng spoke slowly,
“No one cares more about the safety of our disciples than we do.
“When your disciple first attracted the monster horde, we were already fully prepared.
“But for such a small scene, indeed there’s no need for us to intervene.
You all just watch; our Wanyun Sect’s disciples could well be considered crouching dragons and hidden tigers.”
The Immortals from Sea Watch Sect exchanged glances and whispered to each other.
Three of them quietly left, unwilling to linger here, while two Immortal beings stayed, increasingly finding ‘Bu Linhai,’ who was fixated, less and less pleasing to the eye.
Meanwhile, those disciples that had rushed into the depths of the ancient ruins suddenly found…
The sea area ahead was unusually empty.
Where were the monsters?
The large monster horde?
The two teams from Sea Watch Sect at the peak of the Merge True Realm were all at a loss; they couldn’t find the roving large monster hordes along the way, nor the hidden traps in the corners.
All they could see were strands of miasma emanating from the corpses of several large monsters, floating at the sea bottom everywhere.
The disciples of the six sects began to scatter and search, fighting hard for rankings, with many also noticing an anomaly to the southwest and charging after the monster horde.
At a hundred miles distance, in an area at the edge of the ancient ruins, the sea suddenly began to stir.
Ice Blue Immortal Light shone through patches of the sea.
The monster horde had charged into Li Ping’an’s formation of symbols!
Li Ping’an’s long hair flew wildly, as if the surrounding sea water wasn’t there at all.
The more his eyes shone with a cold light, the more talismans detonated simultaneously, turning large swathes of sea water into ice walls in an instant, with hundreds of little monsters directly frozen solid.
The momentum of the monster horde was immediately blocked!
More talismans trembled at the same time, the mana inside Li Ping’an drained rapidly as if swallowed by a black hole and was quickly replenished by the power of the Elixir Pills.
Gu Qingcheng let out a soft shout as her Immortal Sword split the sea water, darting through the monster horde like a nimble snake, piercing through the brains of numerous small sea monsters.
Suddenly there was a thunderous roar as the thick ice wall got shattered by the monster horde.
These little monsters had little intelligence to begin with, and now, driven by bloodlust, they knew only to charge mindlessly toward the few people ahead.
In Bu Linhai’s mind, the shadow of the Kui Shan King laughed uproariously.
A hint of a smile appeared on his lips, his eyes protruding outward as he stared at Gu Qingcheng’s figure.
He was about to kill these few small Qi Cultivators…
The shout from Li Ping’an echoed throughout the sea region.
Kui Shan King fixed his gaze and saw that the ordinary Qi Cultivator from the Void Refinement Realm, clothed in a long robe and without any remarkable features, now had an icy expression and fierce eyes as quickly-formed ice arrows appeared en masse in the sea.
Li Ping’an pointed forward with his sword fingers, unleashing a volley of arrows, freezing the water, another round of monsters died simultaneously!
Kui Shan King turned the puppet’s head to look, almost laughing out loud through the puppet.
Eighty percent remained!
Eighty percent of the monster horde was still there!
No matter how powerful this Void Refinement Realm Qi Cultivator’s formation of symbols was, it came at the cost of a considerable amount of mana and required the preparation of so many talismans in advance!
It was impossible to exhibit such power again in a short period!
‘Now let’s see how the four of you cope!
Let’s see some more of those Life-preserving Immortal Pills!
Isn’t your Human Race rich in Elixir Pills and treasures?
‘Why am I being influenced by this puppet’s obsession?’
Kui Shan King’s eyes quickly returned to their cold demeanor as he took advantage of the four people’s distraction by the monster horde and charged straight at Li Ping’an.
He controlled the puppet to look desperate, trying hard to act out his performance.
Li Ping’an suddenly raised his hand, throwing something forcefully forward!
Faint sounds of water echoed next to Kui Shan King’s ears.
Kui Shan King’s eyes widened in shock as he dumbly watched, watched as those black pellets whizzed past his very eyes.
Werent those the disciples’ Life-preserving Immortal Pills…
How could there be so many, many…
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Muffled explosions erupted behind the puppet’s body.
Kui Shan King, as if soulless, stared at the figure of the young man ahead.
The surrounding sea water began to distort.
