  “Alright, I’ll listen to brother Long!” said Wilde. It just so happened that an eighth rank sea demon was coming for him, and he once more smashed his club down.

  Blood mist filled the air. Once again, there was nothing left. Wilde was dumbfounded.

  Long Chen almost coughed up blood. The difficulty in having Wilde control his power was heaven-defying. Long Chen directly gave up and let him do whatever he wanted.

  Wilde’s brute power was appalling. Even Elder Sha was shocked. As the battle unfolded, his shock only grew.

  Wilde, Gu Yang, Yue Zifeng, and all the others were displaying shocking combat power. That was especially true of Wilde. His club clearly landed on the sea demons’ heads, but it caused their entire bodies to explode. Even their incredibly tough Neidans exploded with them. This was a strange power that Elder Sha had never witnessed before.

  Wang Mang and the others were first incomparably shocked that Wilde had such power. But then they became incomparably distressed. With each smash of his club, another eighth rank Neidan disappeared…

  They decided to do their best not to look over at Wilde, as watching was too painful. Runes circulated around them, transforming into huge hands that constantly gathered the slain eighth rank sea demons.

  They didn’t need to participate in the actual battle. Using their refined control over powerful magical arts, they were extremely adept at gathering the slain sea demons. With thirty-six of them working together, they barely missed any at all.

  Originally, they had been a group of thirty-seven, but one of them had been tossed out into the Eastern Wasteland by Elder Sha for saying something was unfair.

  At the front, Gu Yang, Guo Ran, and Wilde were drawing most of the sea demons. Other sea demons managed to get by them, but the majority of them were seventh rank, and killing them was extremely easy.

  The occasional eighth rank sea demons that got by would be instantly killed by a few squad leaders working together. Everything went extremely smoothly. Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er didn’t even need to do anything. Long Chen had them look after the group, but right now, no one needed their help.

  The panicked Eastern Wasteland disciples also began to calm down upon seeing the Dragonblood Legion handle this many sea demons. They found their own positions, occasionally launching an attack. If they didn’t have a chance to attack, they used magical arts to help gather corpses.

  As time went by, the sea demons did not drop in number. Instead, more and more of them appeared, and they only grew stronger.

  In the beginning, their cultivation bases were only at the early eighth rank. But now mid eighth rank sea demons were appearing. When they appeared, Wilde became ecstatic.

  That was because he found that when he smashed a mid eighth rank sea demon, at least some of their body would survive. Their Neidans were also intact.

  Wang Mang and the others had been delighted at first to see this many sea demons; they were truly getting rich! But as more eighth rank sea demons appeared, they gradually became afraid. They had killed over a hundred eighth rank sea demons, and it was starting to be too much.

  As more and more eighth rank sea demons showed up, they didn’t even have time to gather the seventh rank sea demons’ Neidans, letting them fall into the sea.

  The sea was dyed red by the blood of the sea demons. Some corpses sank to the bottom, while some floated on the surface of the water, looking like floating islands, as well as huge burial mounds.

  Currently, thousands of miles of the sea was dyed red, and countless sea demons were crazily charging forward. Furthermore, their numbers and power only grew. Wang Mang felt a chill.

  But when he stealthily glanced at Long Chen, he saw that his expression was still calm, as if this intense battle before him was nothing more than a game that he didn’t care about.

  Wang Mang took a deep breath and thanked his luck that he had acted pragmatically. He hadn’t fought against Long Chen to the point of you die or I die. Thinking of that, he patted himself on the back for being wise.

  Long Chen hadn’t shown off any shocking attacks. But Gu Yang, Guo Ran, Yue Zifeng, Wilde, and the others were each more shocking than the last. From all this, Wang Mang could tell that Long Chen had to be more terrifying than he imagined.

  “Wang Mang, don’t get distracted. You’ve already lost an eighth rank Neidan,” called Long Chen.

  “Oh, sorry!”

  Wang Mang’s runic hand had been destroyed by a sea demon, and as a result, an eighth rank sea demon’s corpse fell into the sea, lost.

  “Don’t be so worried. This is just the opening scene. Once you’re accustomed, you’ll be fine. Everyone further back, there’s no need for you to attack. You should all focus on gathering the corpses. Dragonblood warriors, there’s no need to hold back any longer! We’ve pretty much drawn them all over, so the moment’s almost here!” said Long Chen.

  “The opening scene?” Wang Mang and the others involuntarily shivered. This kind of terrifying battle was just the start? Then what was the main act?

  “Kill! Kill to your heart’s content!”

  The Dragonblood warriors roared, going all-out to slaughter the sea demons. The current sea demons were growing stronger, and even late eighth rank ones began to appear. The Dragonblood warriors were starting to find things difficult.

  They all activated their Spirit Blood, each of them crazily attacking, and Treasure items flew through the air, along with scarlet blood.

  With their Spirit Blood and Treasure items, the eighth rank sea demons were rapidly cut down by them. Their corpses tumbled down.

  Wang Mang and the others were red-eyed. They no longer had time to care about seventh rank sea demons anymore. They had to focus completely on gathering the eighth rank corpses.

  There were too many, so even Wang Mang and the other Foundation Forging disciples found gathering them taxing. Even with the help of the Eastern Wasteland’s disciples, quite a few corpses fell to the bottom of the sea.

  Once the corpses fell into the sea, there was no way to bring them out. The Heavenly Dao runes that they had condensed into hands could enter the water, but it would exhaust too much of their spiritual yuan.

  Seeing those corpses falling into the ocean, Wang Mang and the others were filled with pain, but they were helpless. They could only do everything they could to gather the slain eighth rank sea demons.

  As the Dragonblood warriors erupted with power, the number of sea demons didn’t drop. But all the sea demons were eighth rank ones now. They were like a tide, crazily charging forward.

  The Dragonblood warriors also seemed to have gone crazy. Each one of them was like a killing god, mercilessly slaughtering the sea demons.

  Toward the end, Wang Mang and the others were terrified by just looking at them. The Dragonblood warriors seemed like bloodthirsty fiends, completely different people from the ones who had chatted with them. They were merciless and cold, their killing intent causing their souls to tremble.

  This was the Dragonblood warriors’ strongest state. That killing intent was something piled up from countless experts’ bones.

  The number of sea demons continued to increase. In the end, their corpses were piled up like mountains on the sea.

  This shocking scene shook even Elder Sha. He was deeply shocked by what he was seeing.

  “Careful!” Suddenly, a huge crab-like sea demon charged in front of a Dragonblood warrior. It was a late eighth rank sea demon, and because it was covered in tough armor, it had managed to break through their defenses. Its claw smashed toward the Dragonblood warrior, causing the others to let out startled cries.

  The Dragonblood warrior had only just forced back another sea demon, and there was no one around who could help him.

  “Split the Heavens!”

  A blood-red light slashed down, killing the sea demon.

  Chapter 979 Ninth Rank Sea Demon

  The saber-image slashed down, killing the heavily armored sea demon.

  “Boss!” The
Dragonblood warriors cheered. As soon as Long Chen joined in, he killed a late eighth rank sea demon.

  That sea demon’s defense had been too powerful, with no weak points at all. Once it had charged into the Dragonblood warriors’ midst, it had ruined their formations. Even Gu Yang had been blown back by one of its pincers.

  “How can he use the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s secret technique?” Elder Sha instantly saw through the origin of Long Chen’s move.

  “That’s about enough. Meng Qi, wind things up!” said Long Chen.

  Meng Qi nodded and extended her hands. Forming hand seals, she summoned her soul energy.

  “Soul Extermination Life Devouring Art!”

  A terrifying spiritual fluctuation spread, instantly covering the entire battlefield. The world seemed to come to a stop.

  This Soul Extermination Life Devouring Art was something she had used once before in the Immemorial Path. But at that time, she had been using it on fellow humans, and she hadn’t used it to its full power.

  This time, she was using it on the berserk and cold-blooded sea demons. She had no misgivings, and she directly used up over half her Spiritual Strength to increase its power and range.

  The invisible ripple caused even the people behind Meng Qi to shiver. Wang Mang and the others felt like their souls were within a terrifying spiritual hand. As long as she wished it, their souls would be destroyed.

  Now Wang Mang realized how terrifying Meng Qi was. This soul energy was beyond all his expectations. Even with the Underworld Soul Magical Armor, he wouldn’t be able to block this attack. Thinking of that, cold sweat covered his back.

  Those fierce sea demons stiffened. They lost their ability to think for a short moment.

  Meng Qi’s soul art was terrifying, but due to spreading it over such a huge area, its power was scattered. It didn’t have the power to kill such powerful eighth rank sea demons.

  “Wind Moon Devours the Heavens!”

  Tang Wan-er’s runes circulated, and millions of palm-sized wind blades shot out. This sea of wind blades rapidly spread, releasing ear-piercing sounds that pained people’s eardrums. It felt like millions of needles were stabbing them, and other than the Dragonblood warriors, everyone’s expressions changed.

  They had never seen such terrifying wind blades. This sea of wind blades instantly reached the army of sea demons.

  Like sharp blades cutting through tofu, the powerful eighth rank sea demons were instantly killed.

  Hundreds of eighth rank sea demons were killed by Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er’s combination attack. Countless corpses piled up into a mountain, slowly dropping toward the sea.

  Heaven and earth were deathly silent. Only after a breath’s time did Wang Mang and the others hastily order everyone to gather the corpses. Those were money.

  Before they sank into the sea, they grabbed as many as they could. This attack was too terrifying. All the sea demons had been killed, and they were able to descend closer to the sea to gather the corpses without worrying about being attacked.

  “Hurry. We should leave quickly,” said Elder Sha.

  Everyone hastily cleaned up the battlefield, but it was just too big. Some of the senior disciples were too greedy to even toss aside the seventh and sixth rank sea demons.

  Elder Sha frowned, but he also felt leaving behind this many sea demon corpses would be a waste. So he simply waited.

  “Long Chen, what are you smiling about? Why is your smile so evil?” Tang Wan-er looked at Long Chen.

  “Was I smiling?” Long Chen shook his head.

  “You might be able to trick others, but you can’t trick me. Speak, what evil plot are you brewing?” Tang Wan-er glared at Long Chen, raising a fist.

  “You’re overthinking it. I don’t have so many evil thoughts. Well, the battlefield’s about cleaned up, so we should return. Don’t you see Elder Sha’s face is starting to darken? Don’t get scolded.” Long Chen pulled Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er back to the flying boat.

  Tang Wan-er understood Long Chen too well. Seeing that smile on his face, she knew he was up to something. But if he refused to say, there was nothing she could do.

  There were too many people, so she was too embarrassed to beat him. She sneaked an arm around his waist and viciously pinched him, but she was unable to. This evil fellow had been prepared and had flexed his muscles. Tang Wan-er ground her teeth furiously, but she couldn’t do anything.

  “Has everyone gathered?” asked Elder Sha.

  “Reporting to Elder, we’ve all come,” answered Wang Mang hastily. Even now, they all felt like they were in a dream. Their gains were too shocking.

  If everyone split things evenly, Wang Mang estimated that even if he worked for two centuries as an outer disciple, he wouldn’t be able to gather so much.

  Elder Sha nodded and controlled the flying boat. A barrier of light appeared over it, and it sped away.

  At this moment, Long Chen extended his arms and wrapped them around Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er’s waists. They both blushed, not expecting Long Chen to be so brazen.

  “Scoundrel, release me! There are so many people here!” whispered Tang Wan-er.

  “Careful!” Suddenly, Elder Sha’s expression changed.

  BOOM!

  The flying boat shook violently and flipped through the air. The people inside smashed against the barrier. Some vomited blood and some even fainted.

  “What’s… going on?” Wang Mang and the others were dizzy from the impact.

  Only Long Chen had long since been prepared. His feet had been like nails in the ground. Even Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er weren’t affected.

  “Long Chen, you…” said Meng Qi.

  “I don’t know anything. What just happened?” asked a ‘dumbfounded’ Long Chen.

  “Everyone, be careful! It’s a ninth rank sea demon!” shouted Elder Sha.

  BOOM!

  The flying boat once more flipped. A mile-long tentacle had sent it flying. But this time everyone was prepared and was circulating their spiritual yuan in defense, as well as tightly holding onto the flying boat. But they still felt like their organs were flipping within them.

  “Damn, it’s even more amazing than I had thought,“ Long Chen sighed emotionally inside as he looked at that huge tentacle.

  “You scoundrel, as expected, you knew all along!” said Tang Wan-er. Being held by Long Chen, most of the force was blunted by him, so she and Meng Qi didn’t feel much. They both realized this was definitely something caused by Long Chen. He had probably known all along that they would draw over a ninth rank sea demon.

  “Shh…” Long Chen made a keep quiet gesture, stealthily pointing to Elder Sha.

  Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were speechless. Long Chen was too evil, intentionally causing trouble for Elder Sha. And Elder Sha was truly unlucky to run into an evil person like Long Chen.

  Everyone looked at that tentacle with shock. It suddenly curled and wrapped around the flying boat, making it so it couldn’t move. Everyone felt themselves sink.

  “Crap, it’s dragging us into the sea!”

  Wang Mang and the others were terrified. They hadn’t even seen the form of the ninth rank sea demon. Just its huge tentacle was able to cause so much trouble.

  “Brute, are you looking down on me?!” Elder Sha was finally infuriated. Countless runes lit up on the flying boat, and flying swords shot out at the huge tentacle.

  That tentacle was sliced apart by countless sharp runic blades. The flying boat escaped its clutches and flew away.

  Suddenly, the surface of the water rapidly rose. A colossal figure showed up in front of the boat, blocking even the sun.

  “Heavens, what kind of monster is this? How is it so huge?” Everyone was horrified. This sea demon was so huge that even the flying boat looked like a toy in comparison.

  Long Chen managed to see it clearly. It was like an octopus, but it didn’t have eight tentacles. Instead, it had hundreds of them. Black, sticky liquid covered its body. It spread its te
ntacles, blocking the path of the flying boat.

  “This is a ninth rank sea demon? What a terrifying aura,” said Guo Ran with shock. Although they were on the flying boat and had a protective formation, the aura of the ninth rank sea demon still caused them to shiver. In front of this ninth rank sea demon, they seemed as miniscule as ants.

  “Something this big can be eaten for a long time.” Wilde was drooling as he looked at the huge sea demon. He had never seen such huge rations.

  Wang Mang and the others almost coughed up blood. Was the only thing on his mind food? They were the ones about to be eaten.

  “Long Chen, don’t you think this is a bit too much?” said Meng Qi worriedly.

  “It’s fine. With Elder Sha present, this ninth rank sea demon should just be the appetizer.” Long Chen shook his head. He had been relaxed from the start precisely because of his confidence in Elder Sha.

  Elder Sha was just about to control the flying boat to retreat when the ninth rank sea demon formed a huge net around them with its tentacles.

  Although it was huge, its speed was shockingly fast. Its tentacles instantly bound the flying boat and pulled them toward it.

  “Heavens, what a terrifying mouth!” cried Tang Wan-er.

  The sea demon had opened its mountain-sized mouth. It was filled with teeth that shone with a sharp, cold light.

  “We’re going to be eaten!” Wang Mang felt despair.

  “Brute, you’re asking for it!” Elder Sha snorted. It was unknown what he did, but the flying boat suddenly trembled. A huge cannon appeared on the prow.

  “Die!” shouted Elder Sha. The flying boat shook intensely, and a huge ray of light shot toward the ninth rank sea demon’s mouth.

  Chapter 980 Now It’s Troublesome

  The light engulfed the entire sky, causing it to shake as if the air was about to explode. This attack was one of the flying boat’s trump cards. Since the Xuantian Dao Sect dared to bring tens of thousands of disciples through the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring, how could it not have a few tricks?

  Long Chen had only dared to use the medicinal pill because he had seen through this point. He hadn’t expected his luck to be this good. His medicinal pill had actually managed to draw over a ninth rank sea demon.
