Chapter 878 - 807: Nine Sharks Chasing the Sun
"Those who block me will die!"Zhan Changsheng took a deep breath, the Primordial Power within him erupted instantly, and he swung his sword with his right hand, forming a gigantic sword flower.
Any sea demon within ten meters of the sword flower was instantly shredded by its petals.
In an instant, the seawater turned a bloody red.
Zhan Changsheng unleashed the Supreme Divine Sword, the highest martial skill of the Taihuang Immortal Sect, and charged towards Duan Gujin with an unstoppable momentum.
This time, he moved even faster, and wherever he passed, groups of sea demons fell.
Sensing Zhan Changsheng rapidly approaching from behind, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered. He knew that ordinary sea demons couldn't possibly match Zhan Changsheng's combat power. He needed to lure Zhan Changsheng to a formidable opponent that he couldn't defeat swiftly.
Amongst the sea demons, only the three Sea Demon Leaders possessed the greatest strength.
He extended his Divine Sense and quickly pinpointed the location of the Feiyu Leader.
With a flicker of his body, he swiftly swam towards the Feiyu Leader.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Duan Gujin heading towards the Sea Demon Leader, Zhan Changsheng immediately realized what his opponent was scheming.
He gritted his teeth and instantly summoned a short sword, golden all over, from the storage ring. With a thought, the short sword transformed into a golden light, rushing rapidly towards Duan Gujin.
While slashing the surrounding sea demons with his longsword, he controlled the short sword to hasten towards Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin sensed a strong killing aura behind him and soon saw that it was a short sword.
Feeling the aura from the short sword, his complexion darkened.
"That short sword is a genuine Demon Weapon!"
The short sword's speed was far beyond his expectations.
With a thought, his body began darting up, down, left, and right among the sea demons.
The short sword, like a streak of light, pierced through the bodies of some obstructing sea demons without slowing down.
Many sea demons were gravely injured or killed as a result.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, and with a thought, he immediately retrieved the Extreme Thunder Sword from his storage ring.
He swiftly infused his Primordial Power into the Extreme Thunder Sword, activating the array within it.
The next moment, under his control, the Extreme Thunder Sword shot rapidly towards the short sword.
As he swam towards Feiyu, he also counterattacked Zhan Changsheng's pursuit.
Whoosh!
The two flying swords soon collided, producing an ear-splitting explosion. The shockwave from the clash of two different energies tore sea demons within hundreds of meters to shreds.
Seeing the fierce explosion ahead, Feiyu was furious, noticing that numerous sea demons were obliterated.
He hadn't clearly seen what caused the explosion but naturally assumed it was the doing of the invading human warrior.
"Go die!"
Feiyu was utterly enraged, extending his Divine Sense, he locked onto Zhan Changsheng behind Duan Gujin as the culprit.
He swiftly cast a Dharma Seal towards the short sword's position, which formed rapidly in the sea.
The next moment, several shark-like illusions appeared before him.
These illusions, rapidly formed by his demonic power, rushed towards the short sword under his command.
Duan Gujin deliberately rushed towards Feiyu's direction, creating the illusion that he was just another sea demon.
The other party rapidly swam towards him, seemingly driven by the relentless pursuit of the short sword behind him.
"Move aside quickly!"
Feiyu transmitted his voice.
Duan Gujin was overjoyed, previously worried that Feiyu would recognize him.
From Feiyu's voice transmission, he judged that Feiyu surely hadn't recognized him.
If the other party hadn't recognized him, it was indeed a stroke of immense fortune for him.
Seeing Feiyu's shark illusions charging towards him, he flickered and quickly executed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps. The next moment, he crossed the void and appeared a mile away.
Feiyu suddenly sensed the Martial Saint Sea Demon ahead using a Space Escape Technique, disappearing right before his eyes, leaving him very shocked.
Earlier, he also sensed a spatial fluctuation in the void nearby, but without receiving communication from Zhou Xin, he wasn't aware of what happened on Zhou Xin's side.
"What just happened? Why did that Martial Saint Sea Demon use a Space Escape Technique? It's impossible for our Sea Demon Clan to possess such a technique. Could it be that those human warriors captured that Martial Saint Sea Demon?"
His eyes flickered, but he wasn't interested in pondering his doubts further. The shark illusions he sent forth earlier were about to collide with the fiercely killing short sword.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shark illusions he sent out numbered nine in total, his signature martial skill Nine Sharks Chasing the Sun.
This move involved a total of nine shark illusions, released consecutively from his hands. The first shark illusion's combat power was roughly equivalent to the Martial Saint Second Level, the second equivalent to the Martial Saint Third Level, with each successive shark illusion's combat power surpassing the one before it by one Martial Saint Level.
The final shark illusion's combat power was equivalent to the Shattering Void First Layer.
Nine Sharks Chasing the Sun was Feiyu's renowned martial skill, notable for the very short interval between each shark illusion, less than three breaths.
If the opponent failed to dodge in time, they would be hit by the final move.
Feiyu's eyes widened as he assessed whether his previous move, "Nine Sharks Chasing the Sun," had destroyed the short sword.
To his disappointment, he heard nine dull thundering sounds, which meant that all nine strikes of the "Nine Sharks Chasing the Sun" had hit the short sword.
He didn't detect any more Killing Aura in the water ahead, concluding that the power within the short sword had been nullified by "Nine Sharks Chasing the Sun."
Just as Feiyu had thought, his previous move truly forced back the short sword sent by Zhan Changsheng.
But in the next moment, Zhan Changsheng charged forward, holding a longsword in his hand.
Seeing the countless sword flowers ahead, Feiyu sneered coldly in his heart.
"Human whelp, on land, I can't do much to you, but in the sea, I am the overlord here!"
Indeed, just as Feiyu thought, when Zhan Changsheng sensed that his short sword had been repelled, he took a sharp breath, realizing that as his Supreme Divine Sword went deeper into the sea, its power diminished.
Although the treasure sword in his hand was sharp, it was ultimately a tangible object.
Tangible objects in water are easily affected by friction and resistance.
His Divine Sense detected the presence of three Sea Demon Leaders ahead, and he knew he had to give up the pursuit of the Human Martial Saint Expert.
He quickly infused Primordial Power into the treasure sword, activating the Flying Array within it.
A powerful flight energy immediately enveloped him, swiftly carrying him out of the sea.
Seeing the opponent about to escape the sea, Feiyu panicked and quickly swam, continuously launching "Nine Sharks Chasing the Sun" towards Zhan Changsheng, who was swimming upwards.
However, he was a step too late.
The treasure sword in Zhan Changsheng's hand was no ordinary sword; once he triggered the Flying Array inside, it would rapidly whisk him away.
Seeing the Human Warrior escape, Feiyu was infuriated, but realizing there was no way to catch up, he could only sigh and shift his focus to that Martial Saint Sea Demon from earlier.
"Where is that Sea Demon? Where did he go?"
He extended his Divine Sense to locate Duan Gujin.
However, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the other party.
After a while, he received a message from Zhou Xin, only then realizing there was an insider among them.
"Zhou Xin wants Feiyu Leader to be cautious; that traitor has Space Escape Technique!"
The reporting sea demon seriously relayed Zhou Xin's words.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xin was stunned, quickly asking, "You mean that Human traitor knows the Space Escape Technique?"
"Yes, that Human Warrior ambushed Zhou Xin and immediately used the Space Escape Technique to flee!"
The sea demon replied seriously.
Zhou Xin recalled the Martial Saint Sea Demon from before, who used the Space Escape Technique at the crucial moment.
"I understand now. That Martial Saint Sea Demon was a Human insider! Perhaps they had internal strife, and thus the Human outside wanted to kill that traitor!"
His mind raced, pondering for a moment before telling his subordinates, "Pass my order, halt the attack. We need to regroup and find the traitor!"
"Go back and tell Zhou Xin Leader to stop the attack; we must return to the sea, regroup, and root out the traitor!"
Feiyu instructed Zhou Xin's subordinate.
"As you command!"
Zhou Xin's subordinate acknowledged and left.
Feiyu immediately called over another subordinate, instructing him to relay orders to Saido, ordering him to cease the attack, return to the sea to regroup, and find the traitor.
The three Sea Demon Leaders quickly returned to the sea to reorganize.
But after a long search, they found nothing.
"Where is that Human traitor? Did he flee?"
After discussing for a while, they could only conclude that the Human Warrior had indeed escaped.
Meanwhile, during Feiyu and Zhan Changsheng's battle, Duan Gujin decisively escaped using the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps.
He continued to deploy the Space Escape Technique, heading towards the depths of the sea.
Though many sea demons saw him at sea, they couldn't stop him and could only watch him employ the Space Escape Technique.
Having finally distanced himself from those sea demons, Duan Gujin retrieved a small boat from his storage ring, sat cross-legged aboard, and began to recuperate, regaining his Primordial Power.
Two hours later, he had almost fully recovered.
Reflecting on the previous ordeal, he felt a lingering fear.
Even though he believed his cultivation could easily defeat anyone below the Shattering Void Realm, if he encountered someone in the Shattering Void Realm wielding a mighty treasure, he could only flee in disgrace.
Not only were they a whole Great Realm apart in strength, but they also differed significantly in weapons, leaving him at a complete disadvantage.
He pulled out the treasure sword he'd seized from Zhou Xin from his storage ring, and directed his Divine Sense into it, probing carefully.
Soon, he confirmed that the treasure sword was a Low Grade Divine Level Profound Weapon. The hilt contained a Treasure Bead with twenty-eight Divine Runes, and his Divine Sense detected a lot of gold energy within the bead.
He was incredibly excited to realize that the Divine Runes inside the treasure sword had not yet recognized an owner.
Instantly, he bit open the tip of his left middle finger, extracting a drop of Life Essence Blood, which he then infused into the Divine Runes.
Fifteen minutes later, he observed that the Life Essence Blood finally merged with the sword's Divine Runes, making him the new owner of the sword.
At the speed of thought, the treasure sword emitted a dragon-like cry.
