Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal
Chapter 521 - 130: Ink Flood Dragon of the South Abyss!
Meanwhile, twenty thousand miles south of Celestial Talisman Island, seven streaks of Spirit Light swiftly flew by.
They were one of the twenty-one Demon Hunting Squads organized by Sea Suppression Immortal City. Earlier, they ventured deep into the South Sea to hunt Demon Beasts, and now they planned to return to the Human Race territory for rest.
Leading them was Master Zhehui, with Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivation. His master was none other than the current leader of Sea Suppression Immortal City—True Monarch Qianchuan.
In his squad, there were also two Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivators and four Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivators.
With such strength, unless they encountered a Tier Four Demon Emperor, they could walk horizontally anywhere!
"Senior Brother, not far ahead is the place where the Celestial Talisman Sect is located. Why don’t we head there to rest first!"
The speaker was a handsome young man, known as Master Huadu, about twenty years old, and one of the two Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivators in the team.
"That sounds good. Daoist Cao from the Celestial Talisman Sect is a good friend of mine!"
Master Zhehui’s face was thin and his chin bore a wisp of goatee fluttering in the wind. Along with his azure Dao Robe, he exuded an aura of immortality.
Despite his gentle appearance, his strength was formidable. The number of Tier Three Middle-Grade Great Demons that fell by his hand was numerous,
and there was even a Tier Three High-Grade Great Demon King.
"I’ve long heard that the talismans from the Celestial Talisman Sect are of excellent quality, renowned across the South Sea. This is a great opportunity to resupply!" the young Master Huadu said with a smile.
"Boom—"
At that moment, a white line appeared on the horizon, accompanied by the roar of beasts, echoing over from afar.
The faces of the group changed!
"Not good, it’s a Beast Tide, and it seems the Sea Race launched it in advance!"
Master Zhehui’s expression turned solemn.
As the direct disciple of True Monarch Qianchuan, he naturally knew about the Sea Race’s movements and was aware of their imminent invasion of the Human Race territory.
This return had an intention to avoid their sharp edge.
Unexpectedly, such bad luck to encounter it directly here.
"Fortunately, this Beast Tide is relatively small, with only about eight Tier Three Great Demons, which we can handle without much problem,"
"The trouble lies with those Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts!"
"There are only seven of us. If they surround us, it would be hard to get away easily!"
It’s said that many ants can kill an elephant. The densely packed Demon Beasts ahead were at least tens of thousands.
Plus, they had been flying for half a month, consuming a part of their Mana. Once it all started, sustaining it for long would be difficult.
"Retreat first!"
Master Zhehui finally decided to avoid the edge!
"Where to, Senior Brother, you decide!" Master Huadu called out.
"Celestial Talisman Island!"
"Let’s head to Celestial Talisman Island; there are many Human Race Cultivators there, and with the Mountain Protection Array on the island, it will be enough to hold off these Low-Tier Demon Beasts!"
"Moreover, we can free our hands to deal with those Tier Three Great Demons. As long as we slay them, this small Beast Tide will surely collapse!"
Master Zhehui analyzed calmly and then turned his direction, speeding towards Celestial Talisman Island.
...
At the same time Master Zhehui discovered these Demon Beasts, the Black Island Demon King also noticed them.
"Core Formation Stage Human Cultivators!"
The Black Island Demon King looked at the figures in the distance, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes and an expression of excitement on his face.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted a Human Race’s Inner Core!"
He licked his lips while speaking.
"Black Island Demon King, you are leading this mission. Give the orders!" The Shrimp Demon beside him said excitedly.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Various Great Demons spoke up.
The Human Race Cultivators ahead were isolated and weak, while they had not only their tribe but also the Ink Flood Dragon King, Black Island, with them.
Of course, they were full of confidence!
"Listen to my orders. Floating, you lead the followers onward, and the rest of the brothers, attack with me!"
The Black Island Demon King ordered!
"Yes!" All the demons nodded.
Although the Floating Demon King also wanted to go, he didn’t dare disobey the Black Island Demon King’s command!
"Roar!"
Six Great Demons above Tier Three, led by the Black Island Demon King, pursued Master Zhehui and the others.
...
"Senior Brother, those Demon Beasts are chasing after us!" Master Huadu said with a grim expression.
Behind them, seven powerful waves of Demonic Power pursued them, the momentum was immense,
The speed was also incredibly fast, not slower than their own, and faintly even exceeding it.
After all, this was the sea, the home terrain of these Sea Beasts!
"Increase speed, it’s only twenty thousand miles to Celestial Talisman Island, it would take at most half a day!"
Master Zhehui’s expression remained unchanged, his Mana urging beneath his feet, instantly increasing his speed by another thirty percent.
The others, seeing this, also disregarded the consumption and increased the input of Mana, and raised their Escape Speed once more.
Instantly, the distance between them and the Black Island Demon King began to widen again!
The Black Island Demon King behind saw this, gave a low roar, and then with a flash of Black Light,
his speed instantly increased by thirty percent, entirely disregarding having surpassed his companions by far, he chose to pursue alone!
The distance between him and Master Zhehui rapidly closed.
"It’s the Ink Flood Dragon of the South Abyss Royal Family, it’s chasing us alone!"
At this moment, Master Huadu also saw the real face of the Demon Beast pursuing from behind!
Seeing this, Master Zhehui instantly understood the Flood Dragon’s intention, no doubt wanting to hold them with itself until the remaining Great Demons caught up for a battle.
"Is it being so arrogant, with us being seven, it really believes it can hold us?"
Master Zhehui coldly smiled in his heart!
"Keep moving forward, after half a stick of incense, we’ll attack together and kill this Ink Flood Dragon in one strike!"
Master Zhehui instructed everyone, estimating from the current speed that the Ink Flood Dragon could catch up to them in about half a stick of incense’s time!
"Alright!"
"Let it taste the might of my Feiyun Sword!"
"This black-skinned snake is underestimating us too much!"
Everyone understood, either summoning their Lifebound Magical Treasure or taking out talismans and holding them in their palms, ready to strike at any moment when Master Zhehui gave the order.
...
Very soon, after half a stick of incense’s time, the distance between them and the Black Island Demon King had closed to within a thousand feet.
This distance was already within the attack range of a Core Formation Cultivator.
Seeing this, Master Zhehui’s eyes turned fierce as he transmitted a message:
"It’s now, attack!"
As he finished speaking, his body paused, turned to face the Black Island Demon King, and his sleeve slightly lifted.
A streak of gold light flew out, turning into a remnant shadow.
In an instant, it crossed the thousand-foot distance, heading straight for the Black Island Demon King.
It was impressively a Tier Three Top-Grade Golden Sword Talisman!
At the same time, Master Huadu also struck,
Letting the Black Island Demon King be completely engulfed within it!
"Roar—"
A dragon roar echoed,
All the huge collisions rang out endlessly,
Only Master Zhehui’s Golden Sword broke through the layer of Black Light on its surface, finally landing on its body,
