Chapter 621: Fierce Battle in the Sea (3k)
“Drip…”
The wind and rain swayed, and corrosive rain slid down the energy shield. The girl’s small figure and the towering head formed a visually impactful picture. The girl’s voice rang out in this desperate situation:
“Be gone, we are not the ones who captured you.”
The panic in the eyes of the remaining people could not be easily erased. They clung to each other, trying to dispel the fear in their hearts. After all, their strength destined them to only show such emotions.
“This deterrence, it’s an Initial Stage Battle God Level Commander Monster, and its individual strength is much stronger than ordinary Initial Stage Battle God Monsters.”
Lin said softly, without immediately doing as Su Jiu said. Instead, she silently drew her bow and nocked an arrow. A sapphire light lit up from the arrowhead. She believed that with Su Jiu’s strength, she couldn’t hold on for long.
Su Jiu glanced at Lin, smiled helplessly, and said nothing more. Instead, she tightly gripped the loquat branch in her hand, silently activated the second layer of Elegy, and began to be surrounded by blue-green wind and snow.
Ice Domain, activate!
The Ice Domain’s amplification in the sea was not small, and it could increase Su Jiu’s extraordinary ice attribute by about 50%.
“Die…” The moment the giant turtle’s head opened, the airflow directly impacted the energy shield, and its raised right claw slashed down fiercely.
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, his gaze fell on the towering head again. Su Jiu could feel a sense of oppression from it. She understood that this was brought about by the so-called level and size suppression.
“Lin, cover me for one arrow, and then you take these people and leave!”
Without hesitating, Su Jiu roared, her feet suddenly exerted force, and her tail also flicked forcefully. Then she twisted the loquat branch in her hand, wrapped in frosty condensed energy, and swung it towards the green webbed claw.
The next moment, the two came into contact, and air currents scattered from the collision point. The hull of the ship to Su Jiu’s left was pushed forward dozens of meters. The sound of splashing waves roared around them, and giant waves instantly threatened to engulf them.
After they separated again, the green webbed claws continuously slashed through the air. With each slash, giant waves surged. Su Jiu, surrounded by dragon-shaped sword energy, stepped on the void, unleashing dozens of feet of sword energy.
The sword energy, accompanied by dragon roars, exploded in this sea area, finally colliding with the green webbed claws, leaving several wounds. Blood stained the surging waves red.
“Die!”
However, such minor wounds were nothing to such a behemoth. It roared, and the movements of its webbed claws accelerated significantly.
Facing these attacks, Su Jiu’s eyes sank, and she continued to meet them. In just a few minutes, she had consumed one layer of her energy.
Participating in such a high-level battle as a Battle King Level was still too strenuous.
“What level of monster is this? If it weren’t for the energy shield to resist, I’m afraid the scattered power alone would tear us apart.”
“The person who can fight monsters is probably a big shot from Dragon Country.”
“Alas, I don’t know if we can go back safely. If we can, I must become such a person.”
The people on the ship finally realized what was happening, their faces showing shocked expressions, while the students’ faces showed more longing.
Wasn’t this exactly what they heard the Principal say on the day of awakening their talents? To become a city wall, to block millions of monsters. If they hadn’t craved strength when they were young, they wouldn’t have risked crossing the sea to go to the Cherry Blossom Country.
“Is this the Touring Envoy of that country? I feel like they already have the strength of a War God.”
The pirates, who had long since broken through the water’s surface, also had similar expressions. They, who lived by licking blood on the tip of their swords, had rarely witnessed battles of this caliber.
Yamanashi, the red-cloaked woman, placed her hands on the railing of the ship, felt the cold wind blowing towards her, and her gaze fell on the giant turtle. She said in a low voice with a stern face, “The people from the Kamishiro Family are seeking their own death. They were directly swallowed by this monster. Can we still get it?”
“This is probably a bit difficult. Their strength has reached the Initial Stage War God Level, and they are also a Demon Monarch Class 7 (2) Tomb Sealing Artifact 4 Army Lord.”
The old man with white beard stood on the pirate ship, squinting his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, “This is the bloodline of the ancient fierce beast Rotating Turtle. Legend has it that its ancestor competed with Baxia for the command of the southern sea area of Dragon Country. They ultimately suffered a miserable defeat and unfortunately drifted to the vicinity of the Cherry Blossom Sea.”
“Rotating Turtle?” Yamanashi said in surprise, as if she had thought of something, “I remember Grandpa mentioning this thing. It seems to be one of the ghosts from the ‘Hundred Ghosts Night Parade’ period. It devoured hundreds of thousands of people along the coast in the Sea of Japan back then and was known as the Water Demon.”
“Miss Yamanashi, after we wait for this Dragon Country Touring Envoy to consume more energy, we will make a move to kill this descendant of the Rotating Turtle. After all, it is only a hybrid descendant. With the people we brought, we should be able to fight it.”
The old man with white beard lowered his eyes, his hands pressed against the curved blades on both sides of his waist, showing a slight tendency to act, but he suppressed it with reason.
“However, these kinds of water monarchs usually have trump cards.”
…
While Su Jiu was in a stalemate with the giant turtle, Lin’s eyes flashed with purple light, and the hand holding the bowstring suddenly loosened. An ice-colored arrow shot towards the right eye of the giant turtle.
“Whoosh!”
The immense cold instantly froze everything the arrow passed through, turning it into frost. In front of the arrow were two blue halos, each of which amplified the arrow’s power by several times.
The giant turtle was so focused on fighting Su Jiu that it couldn’t notice this scene at all. Its eye was instantly pierced by the arrow, and its lantern-like giant eye exploded like a balloon with a “pop.”
“Roar roar!!”
This action caused the giant turtle to tilt its head back, as if stunned by the blow. It retreated a few meters, and its thick, long arms flailed wildly, grabbing the remaining half of the ship’s stern.
Taking advantage of this opening, Su Jiu quickly turned her head and shouted to Lin behind her in a low voice, “Hurry and take them away, it’s going to react soon!”
She had to stay here to give the ice ship enough time to leave. Although she said she didn’t have that responsibility, most of the people on the ship were students.
She still remembered her former identity—a high school teacher.
Looking at the not-so-tall back, Lin seemed to realize what the other party had meant by “tall person,” and it wasn’t just about people with higher cultivation.
“I’ll take these people back to shore for you, and our debt will be settled. Keep the small blue flower, and I’ll find you in the Cherry Blossom Country!”
Pressing her lips together, Lin smiled slightly, then performed a hand seal and waved her hand towards everyone still on the half-ship. A phantom wing appeared behind each of them.
These people were carried by the phantom wings towards the ice ship, which made the students exclaim in surprise, calling it a divine skill.
“You all go, I shouldn’t have run this errand for the Kamishiro Family.”
The old captain’s expression was different from these young people. He dispersed his wings, and his face, which resembled the Evil God of Fire Clouds, showed sadness. He leaned against the half-ship and reached out to stroke its hull.
The next moment, an energy shield was erected in the acid rain. A firelight flashed, causing a faint blue smoke ring, and then it was completely submerged by the surging currents…
“Those who do too much evil will end up destroying themselves.”
Su Jiu glanced at the situation behind her, sighed lightly, and landed on the sea surface. Ice flowers instantly formed beneath her feet to support her body.
She knew that the old captain probably knew that even if he survived, he would face an international court, and he directly sank to the bottom of the sea with his beloved ship.
After the people behind her had completely left, the giant turtle also recovered its senses. Its remaining eye stared at Su Jiu with a resentful look. It turned its head back again, and a buzzing sound came from its mouth:
“None of you will escape. You will all become the flesh that restores me…”
“Are several people still watching the show?”
Su Jiu amplified her voice with her external qi towards the pirates. She tightly gripped the loquat branch, faintly accumulating power for [Full Moon Slash]. She knew that what she had to do now was to stall for time.
“Heh heh, it’s not us fighting this giant turtle. This Touring Envoy, we are not exactly good citizens.”
Watching Su Jiu confront the giant turtle, Yamanashi smiled and leaned on the railing with both hands, her beautiful face full of teasing.
“It’s a pity that this Touring Envoy is so beautiful, she’s probably going to die here…”
“This little beauty is much more exciting than the ordinary young ladies we usually rob.”
“Hahaha, can she be more beautiful than our Miss Yamanashi?”
The grunt pirates even started to chatter incessantly, their eyes appraising Su Jiu, their previous awe completely gone.
Clearly, they had forgotten who was on the ship now, and no one could stop Su Jiu if she wanted to leave.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu’s expression remained normal, and she even felt like laughing… With this, her actions of diverting disaster would be considered justifiable.
“It’s all flesh and blood, why not eat the ones behind first?”
Su Jiu continued to accumulate power, but she laughed loudly at the giant turtle. However, her words made the pirates’ expressions change, and Yamanashi’s face became even more gloomy.
Because they actually saw a thoughtful look in the giant turtle’s eyes…
“Go eat, I’ll help you peel the shell.”
While the giant turtle was contemplating, the full moon in Su Jiu’s hand had already completed its charge. A cold killing intent flashed in her eyes, her arm trembled slightly, and light emanated from the leaves of the loquat branch.
“Swoosh!”
Then, the ice-blue moon wheel rose at an extremely fast speed in the rainy night, illuminating the sea surface. The target of the attack bypassed the giant turtle’s body and shot directly towards the pirate ships.
Even the old man with white beard, who made an effort to resist, underestimated the attack range of this moon wheel. The two side ships that were undefended were directly torn apart and destroyed.
The pirate ships could only barely resist attacks from Initial Stage Battle King Level cultivators. How could they withstand Su Jiu’s sword? The defensive formation was instantly torn apart, the hull was split, and many pirates fell into the water.
The faces of the pirate members who fell into the water turned from smiles to fear because they saw the greedy look in the giant turtle’s eyes.
Not long after, the Redbeard Pirate Group was forced to fight the giant turtle first. Looking at the current situation.
Su Jiu did not rush to leave. Instead, she leaped into the sky, concealed her aura, and watched the situation below. She needed to stall for thirty minutes for the ice ship…
