Dashing Student-Chapter 1265: Sea Beast Chumming

Inside the stomach of the Wave-breaking Whale, Chen Nan finally made his move. He flew to the flesh and blood of the sea beast, and his aura suddenly changed, as if he had transformed into a sharp blade.

Moreover, his physique grew larger under the stunned eyes of Ning Yu and the others; his hands transformed into sharp claws of a demon beast, with nails like pointed knives, and his back slightly hunched.

At this moment, it seemed as if he had truly become a member of the Demon Clan, possessing pure Demon Qi along with a powerful physique, and then he moved.

His hands swung rapidly, leaving only afterimages visible, tearing apart chunks of flesh, which appeared intensely bloody.

With a "shh", a thick layer of flesh was torn open, revealing a path through which seawater rushed in, and Chen Nan and his companions quickly flew out.

The heavily injured Wave-breaking Whale went mad, its eyes turning blood red, creating waves in the seawater with the force of ten thousand pounds, crashing forward.

The immense pressure caused Deng Yunhe and Daoist Cui to look grim as they exchanged glances, quickly flying behind Zheng Yunzhou in a shameless manner.

Zheng Yunzhou was helpless but still summoned his giant sword, like a door plank, to shield himself, with a faint earth-yellow light emanating from the sword.

Meanwhile, Chen Nan was like an arrow; golden flames burned on his body, exuding a domineering aura as he pierced through the massive waves and once again dove into the Wave-breaking Whale’s body.

When he emerged from the other side, he held a Demon Core in his hand, which he unceremoniously collected as it was a rare spiritual material.

Without the Wave-breaking Whale’s control, the giant waves in the water dissipated, and the massive body floated toward the surface, followed closely by Chen Nan and his companions.

Once on the surface, Chen Nan’s physique returned to normal, and the Demon Cultivators in the sky had long vanished.

Deng Yunhe landed on the massive corpse of the Wave-breaking Whale, kicking it angrily: "Damn it, it made us lose track of the pursuit, now how are we supposed to complete the mission?"

"We at least need to kill ten Golden Core Realm Sixth-Layer Demon Cultivators, or twenty Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer ones, or maybe forty Golden Core Realm Fourth Layer... Just thinking about it is despairing."

No one paid attention to his muttering; meanwhile, Chen Nan, gazing at the Whale’s corpse, slightly frowned: "What do you think, using this Wave-breaking Whale as bait, can we lure Demon Cultivators?"

"Bait?"

Everyone knew this was a term commonly used by fishermen, but never expected it could be applied in this way.

The Wave-breaking Whale is considered a more challenging sea beast, even with higher cultivation, it’s difficult to break through its defenses, yet its horn, fish bones, demon core, etc., are extremely valuable spiritual materials.

If Demon Cultivators saw a Wave-breaking Whale’s corpse on the surface, they’d certainly be interested.

Daoist Cui stroked his beard and chuckled: "I think it’s feasible. Consider those Demon Cultivators the fish we want to catch."

Ning Yu, however, shook her head without much confidence: "Even if we could use the Whale’s corpse to attract Demon Cultivators, how do we ambush them? As soon as they approach, they’ll notice the Mana fluctuations from us."

Every cultivator knows how to conceal their aura, but completely hiding it is nearly impossible. Such cultivation techniques are rare, and there’s little need since not everyone is an assassin.

Unless we use an Array or talisman to conceal our aura and Mana fluctuations.

Seeing this, Chen Nan knew it was his turn to step up and said, "Leave it to me."

As his words fell, his body slowly disappeared from where he stood, and even his aura vanished.

This was the effect of the ’Life and Death Technique’ combined with the Yama Hall’s Magic ’Concealing Technique’.

Deng Yunhe and the others were stunned, speechless, feeling as though Chen Nan was omnipotent.

...

Wu Haotian cursed and flew by in the air, his expression dissatisfied.

"Why am I the one sent to die? Just because I lack connections and background? Just wait, someday I’ll refine you all, make you company my Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

Just then, he suddenly stopped, glancing at the sea below, where a massive sea beast’s corpse lay, staining the seawater with blood.

"Huh? Is this my lucky day? I actually found a sea beast’s corpse?"

Even though flying in the air, Wu Haotian could see the horn on top of the Wave-breaking Whale; the horn is the most valuable spiritual material on the Whale.

Additionally, judging by the spiral patterns on the horn, this Whale was at least Third Layer of Golden Core Realm, making the horn’s value undoubtedly high. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

However, having witnessed various schemes as a Demon Cultivator, Wu Haotian’s first feeling was someone was deliberately luring him; thus, he swept the surroundings with his Divine Thought repeatedly.

Still apprehensive, he randomly attacked the sea below, finding no signs of an ambush, finally easing his mind.

"Haha, looks like luck is on my side! This trip to the battlefield will definitely be smooth." With a mutter, Wu Haotian dove down quickly towards the Wave-breaking Whale, preparing to take all the valuable spiritual materials from its body.

Just as he was about to make a move, a strong premonition suddenly arose in his heart. Before he could escape, he found his body entangled in layers of threads.

The threads were extremely resilient; even with his cultivation at Golden Core Realm Third Layer, he couldn’t break free, tightening with every struggle.

As he was about to summon his Spiritual Artifact to cut the threads, a sharp cold pierced his chest unexpectedly. He glanced down to see a sword tip protruding from his chest.

Blood trickled from his mouth corner; Wu Haotian turned his head with difficulty, seeing Chen Nan’s figure slowly materialize in the air, Sword Chenyuan pulling out from his chest, trailing blood droplets.

Staggering a step, just as Wu Haotian steadied himself, Chen Nan reappeared like a ghost before him, Sword Chenyuan piercing his body again.

Meanwhile, a small sword filled with Sharp Gold Qi hovered in front of his brow, its sharp aura making him terrified.

"Who...who are you?" Wu Haotian felt a surge of despair, he hadn’t even started his comeback, yet his life was nearing its end.

"It’s not important. If you want to live, tell us the location of your Demon Sect’s camp, how many cultivators are there, their realms, any sentinels, etc."

Faced with survival, Wu Haotian promptly betrayed: "I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything!"

Zheng Yunzhou and the others flew up too. Before, they hid in the seawater, using an Array created by Chen Nan with Fishbone Array for concealment.

Their gazes toward Chen Nan were filled with intense shock.

"Jue Mingzi, you’re just... too professional."
