The light unleashed by the flying boat’s cannon tore through the sea demon’s head. It was instantly killed.
After killing the sea demon, Elder Sha immediately controlled the flying boat to gather the sea demon’s corpse.
“Haha, amazing. A ninth rank Neidan has fallen into our hands,” laughed Long Chen.
The ninth rank sea demon’s corpse was too huge. Despite being a corpse, it gave off a sense of pressure that made it hard for them to breathe.
Wang Mang and the others impatiently charged their way into the corpse through the injury. They quickly came out.
“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, here. A ninth rank Neidan is a priceless treasure.” Wang Mang ignored the blood and gore on it and handed over a fist-sized sphere to Long Chen.
The sphere had runes within it, making it seem like it was alive. It continued to release a powerful pressure.
This was where the ninth rank sea demon’s essence was gathered. It contained boundless energy.
Long Chen received it. Meng Qi exclaimed, “What powerful water energy fluctuations! And they’re so pure! It just so happens that we have a few water attribute warriors in the Dragonblood Legion.”
After refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, there were seven people that awakened rare water attribute runes. Their combat power had leaped a great deal.
“I will be keeping this ninth rank Neidan as I have a few brothers who need it. But I won’t let you lose out. As compensation, all the Neidans of the Dragonblood Legion will be yours,” said Long Chen.
“We can’t accept that! Don’t look down on us. Without you, it would have been impressive for each of us to get a dozen sixth rank Neidans. You must take the ninth rank Neidan. The amount of profit we’ve gotten now is enough for us to cultivate for a century without worry. Truly, we know when to be satisfied,” said Wang Mang.
It was under Long Chen’s lead that they had gathered close to a thousand eighth rank Neidans. As for seventh rank Neidan, they numbered over thirteen thousand, and there were too many sixth rank Neidans to even count. But it was definitely over a hundred thousand.
Once they split that equally, the resources they would obtain were enough for them to cultivate for a hundred years without running out of resources. They truly did have enough.
“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, leave us some face. Without you, we wouldn’t have gotten anything like this. We’ve already benefited greatly, so we can’t be more greedy,” said another disciple.
Without the Dragonblood Legion, they’d have long since fled in the face of the terrifying army of sea demons. It was all thanks to the Dragonblood Legion.
Seeing their sincere expressions, Long Chen didn’t push them. Cupping his fists, he said, “Then I’ll thank everyone.”
Long Chen tossed the ninth rank Neidan to one of the water attribute Dragonblood warriors. They could absorb the water essence inside to increase the level of their water energy once more.
However, the amount of energy inside it was too berserk, and they would need a long amount of time to withdraw that energy.
“This big fish is mine! I can eat it for a long time.” Wilde directly put away the huge ninth rank sea demon’s corpse. He was even more excited than those fellows who had obtained the Neidans.
BOOM! Suddenly, the sky darkened. A fierce storm containing Water Qi filled the sky.
“Damn, this time I might have gone a bit too far.” Long Chen hastily looked out and saw four huge figures blocking the sun. They were four ninth rank sea demons, charging over and surrounding the flying boat.
Wang Mang and the others turned pale. The auras of those four sea demons caused them to quiver.
“Xuantian Wave!” What comforted them was that Elder Sha was still calm. Without the slightest panic, countless runes lit up on the flying boat. A ripple spread through the air.
The ripple struck those huge sea demons, sending them flying back over a thousand miles. Everyone cheered.
“This thing’s good. Boss, when we get enough money, I want one.” Guo Ran’s eyes shone as he looked at Elder Sha controlling the flying boat. He was filled with envy.
“Why bother? This kind of huge flying boat isn’t something we can buy with our current wealth.” Long Chen knew that this kind of flying boat containing both great offensive and defensive properties had to have a price that could frighten people to death.
Furthermore, even if they could buy one, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to use it. Long Chen had stealthily investigated it and found that on the bottom levels of the flying boat, there was a sealed space.
Although he wasn’t able to go inside, he could sense endless spiritual qi in it. The inside had to be packed full of spirit stones, and high grade ones at that.
Whether used for offense or defense, this flying boat had to exhaust an ocean’s worth of high grade spirit stones. Long Chen wouldn’t waste his money on such a thing, so he’d rather Guo Ran give up on that thought.
Elder Sha had only just sent those four sea demons flying when he drove the flying boat away. But this time, the flying boat’s speed wasn’t very high. It needed more time to accelerate, and as a result, the four sea demons quickly caught up. A huge walrus-like sea demon struck the flying boat with its huge tail.
BOOM! Despite activating its defenses, the flying boat was sent flying into the distance. Everyone’s bodies shook, and they almost coughed up blood.
“Damn brutes! Someone, come take my place to control the flying boat. I’ll go kill them!” After saying that, Elder Sha surprisingly left the flying boat, going out on his own to fight those four sea demons.
Everyone was stunned. Wang Mang stuttered, “But… none of us… know how to drive it…?”
BOOM! Everyone let out startled cries as the flying boat was once more struck, and some disciples coughed up blood. Although the boat’s defenses were active, some of the power behind the sea demons’ attack still managed to get through. The weaker disciples were unable to bear it.
They were horrified. The difference between eighth rank and ninth rank sea demons was immense. Even Gu Yang and the others felt like they wouldn’t be able to receive such a terrifying attack.
“Let me!” Guo Ran jumped onto the control platform. Studying the countless runes and lines in front of him, he tried to figure out how to control it.
“Does he… understand how to?” asked Wang Mang.
“Don’t worry, I guarantee he definitely doesn’t know,” said Gu Yang.
At first, Wang Mang’s worries were laid down. But once the sentence was finished, he almost coughed up blood. “Big brother, don’t joke at this time.”
“Life and death are up to fate. What’s the point of being afraid? You’ll just feel worse, and in your panic, be unable to make the right decisions. Then your last chance at life will be thrown away,” said Gu Yang indifferently.
Wang Mang was stunned. Only now did he see that while the Dragonblood warriors were startled, their expressions didn’t contain the slightest fear or panic.
“Haha, this should be… the Divine Dragon Tail Spin!” exclaimed Guo Ran suddenly, full of excitement. He slammed his hand on a button.
At this time, the attack from a ninth rank sea demon was coming right at them. Once Guo Ran pushed the button, a huge tail appeared at the end of the flying boat. That tail was like a dragon’s tail and was formed of countless runes. And after pressing the button, the flying boat began to rapidly revolve. The huge tail swung like a whip, striking the sea demon.
“Nice!” Guo Ran was delighted. This kind of feeling was amazing.
But after sending the sea demon flying, he was unable to stop the flying boat. It continued to rapidly spin, forming a whirlpool in the air.
“Hurry and stop it! We… we…” People began to puke. This kind of high-speed spinning was something even the senior disciples found unbearable.
“I… I don’t know how to stop it!” Guo Ran held onto the chair in the control platform. He h
ad lost control of the boat.
It was unknown what happened eventually, but as Guo Ran wildly spun through the air, he ended up kicking a mechanism, and the flying boat slowly stopped spinning.
“Oh, so the button on top was the one to activate it, and the one below was to stop it,” said Guo Ran. He finally understood the control mechanism.
Long Chen held onto Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er. Although the two weren’t injured, their heads were dizzy from being flung around. Meng Qi was especially pale since she was a soul cultivator.
“Guo Ran, are you capable of this or not?!” scolded Long Chen upon seeing Meng Qi suffering.
“Don’t worry, this time I’ll definitely be able to control it!” Guo Ran carefully studied the various lines on the control panel. His understanding of some of those immortal characters wasn’t very good, but through the layout and patterns, he was able to guess some things.
“Careful, another one’s coming!” shouted someone. Another ninth rank sea demon was coming from behind.
“Just watch!” Guo Ran smashed his hand on the control panel. The stern of the boat opened, revealing a mirror. Countless lines lit up on it. There were thousands of spirit stones embedded on its back, and they were all high grade spirit stones.
At the center of the mirror, there was an especially radiant spirit stone. It was actually an exceedingly rare top grade spirit stone.
The mirror unleashed waves of light. A huge arrow appeared on it, shooting at the ninth rank sea demon.
The instant the arrow appeared, all the spirit stones on the back of the mirror turned dark, cracked, and shattered.
“As expected, it’s a money-burning toy.” Long Chen and Guo Ran both saw that clearly. This was something only a rich person could use.
The sea beast was unlucky. Its head was right at the boat’s stern and as a result, the arrow pierced its head, causing it to explode.
Before anyone could cheer for Guo Ran, a figure appeared within the flying boat and pushed Guo Ran aside, controlling the flying boat to flee.
“Big trouble! We’re running!”
Chapter 981 Dragon Blood Intimidates Demons
“Flee?”
Everyone was still confused when the four sea demons’ corpses were tossed inside the flying boat. Elder Sha had killed the other three sea demons before returning, and they had just been too tense to notice that he had killed them.
Elder Sha didn’t have his previous ease once he had returned. An unprecedented solemn expression was on his face, and he hastily sent the boat flying away.
Everyone was startled. Weren’t the four ninth rank sea demons all killed? Why was he so nervous?
“What’s going on?” Tang Wan-er stealthily whispered to Long Chen.
“I might have gone a bit too far. We’re surrounded.” Long Chen felt a bit bad. He hadn’t expected matters to develop to this extent.
Space suddenly began to tremble, and huge waves soared into the sky. Terrifying pressures crashed down upon them as huge figures flew out of the sea.
“Heavens, there are actually this many!”
They found that the flying boat was surrounded. Everything within thousands of miles was blocked off. Those huge figures were all ninth rank sea demons, and there were actually around eighty of them!
Eighty ninth rank sea demons covered the entire sky. This was a blockade they couldn’t get out of.
“Everyone, prepare yourselves. We can only charge our way through!” shouted Elder Sha. He pressed down on several spots of the control panel.
The flying boat suddenly rumbled and spiritual qi erupted. The runes on the flying boat lit up, even the ones on the interior.
Although the disciples didn’t understand how to operate such a huge flying boat, seeing all its runes lit up, it was clear that the flying boat was about to use its full power.
They didn’t dare to be careless. They summoned their Heavenly Dao runes to protect themselves to avoid being killed by the intense impact.
The light from the flying boat’s runes suddenly blazed like the sun. Long Chen sensed the spirit stones stored below deck rapidly shatter. Half of their energy vanished in an instant.
The flying boat shot off like a cannonball, smashing into the ninth rank sea demons in front of it. Two of them were smashed to death, while the others were blown out of the way. But Elder Sha’s expression became uglier.
This one impact caused quite a few people inside the flying boat to vomit blood and collapse on the ground. The impact had almost taken their lives.
Suddenly, a furious roar rang out. The sea demons split apart, revealing a huge figure floating in the sky.
“Six Horn Sea Serpent?!” Elder Sha couldn’t help but let out a startled cry.
That huge sea drake had three pairs of horns. Its horns were golden and possessed ancient runes on them.
The Six Horn Sea Serpent was different from ordinary sea demons. It possessed its own name. Only a few powerful sea demons possessed the qualifications to be named by the human race’s cultivators.
“Foolish humans, since you wanted to cause trouble in our domain, you can die.”
Shockingly, this Six Horn Sea Serpent was capable of human speech. But its voice was like iron scraping against iron. If they didn’t listen carefully, there was no way to understand it.
“Now it’s troublesome.” Elder Sha’s expression was exceedingly ugly.
“What is it? Can you not handle it?” Long Chen walked over to Elder Sha’s side.
“That Six Horn Sea Serpent isn’t an ordinary sea demon. It is exceptionally powerful and possesses its own innate divine abilities. If it was a one against one, perhaps I could defeat it, but right now, we’re surrounded. Furthermore, there are not enough spirit stones in the flying boat anymore. If we use them all up, it should be no problem to kill this Six Horn Sea Serpent, but then the flying boat won’t have the energy to fly anymore. We’re stuck,” sighed Elder Sha.
Wang Mang and the others were pale. Elder Sha’s meaning was clear: the flying boat only had enough energy to launch one more attack, but if they used it, the flying boat wouldn’t be able to move any longer. And using it would only be able to kill the Six Horn Sea Serpent, not the other ninth rank sea demons.
In other words, even Elder Sha was helpless now. They would all die here. They despaired. The heavens really knew how to play people, to let them become rich right before dying.
“How about you let me try something?” asked Long Chen after a moment’s thought.
“You?” Elder Sha was startled.
“Yes. I’m not fully confident, but it’s worth a shot. Senior, please transport me outside the flying boat,” said Long Chen.
“Are you sure about this?” asked Elder Sha.
“Yes.” Long Chen saw that the Six Horn Sea Serpent’s scales were starting to glow. It was storing up energy for a powerful attack.
In front of everyone’s horrified gazes, Long Chen appeared outside the flying boat. Standing at the front, Long Chen icily stared at the Six Horn Sea Serpent.
“Heavens, what is boss doing?” Gu Yang’s jaw dropped. He didn’t dare to believe his eyes.
Even Elder Sha didn’t dare to face this many sea demons. But Long Chen charged out on his own. That was too shocking.
“An ant’s come out? Are you trying to use your pathetic life to appease our anger?” said the Six Horn Sea Serpent coldly. With its huge body floating in the air, Long Chen truly was as tiny as an ant.
“Idiot, you’re not kneeling in front of your ancestor!?” shouted Long Chen.
His Blood Qi circulated, and green scales appeared over his skin. A powerful aura erupted. An unspeakable grandeur came from him, and despite being smaller and lower, he seemed to look down on the rest of the world.
The Six Horn Sea Serpent had just been about to launch its attack when Long Chen’s new aura struck him. It came to a sudden stop and began to shiver involuntarily.
The other sea demons had it even worse, tremblin
g intensely and retreating.
“Damn, do you see this? This is how domineering boss is! Even sea demons have to part in front of him! This is the highest realm of posing!” exclaimed Guo Ran passionately.
Even Elder Sha was shocked. More and more, he found he was unable to understand Long Chen. That Blood Qi should be a Spirit Blood pressure, but he couldn’t understand why the sea demons would be so terrified.
What he didn’t know was that this wasn’t Spirit Blood pressure, but the bloodline pressure Long Chen could release after refining the green dragon essence blood.
His dragon blood had come from a true dragon, a king amongst all beasts. Its bloodline pressure was especially effective against Magical Beasts and sea demons. Even these ninth rank sea demons were terrified and didn’t dare to approach him.
“Scram!” shouted Long Chen, his roar ringing like thunder in the air. An unquestionable will caused the ninth rank sea demons to actually retreat even more.
Even the Six Horn Sea Serpent slowly moved to the side, leaving a path open. The Blood Qi coming from Long Chen’s body terrified it. Although it was a bit unwilling, it was unable to resist that pressure.
Seeing a shout from Long Chen actually form a path amongst the ninth rank sea demons, Elder Sha was delighted. He sent the flying boat forward.
“Boss says to go slower. Don’t show any timidity,” said Guo Ran, looking at Long Chen.
Long Chen’s hands were clasped behind his back, but they were in constant motion, forming signals that only Guo Ran, who was most familiar with Long Chen, understood.
When the two of them had nothing else to do, they would come up with some secret signals. Guo Ran was the commander of the Dragonblood Legion, so the two of them needed a secret communication method. Even spiritual messages might be cut off on a battlefield.
So the two had come up with a secret communication method. That way, they could silently communicate on the battlefield without anyone else knowing.
The flying boat slowly moved forward. With Long Chen standing at the front and his Blood Qi soaring out of him, the ninth rank sea demons just watched, not daring to stop them. Even the Six Horn Sea Serpent didn’t dare despite having an urge to do so several times.
