BXBX NOVEL Chapter 311: 312 Sea Clan
“Why don’t you go down?”
The elder almost burst into laughter out of anger.
“My strength is too strong. If there is some dangerous entity below, I’m afraid it would flee immediately.”
“In that case, why don’t we work together? You go down to explore. If there is danger below, lure it up, and I will strike it down. How about that?”
Li Xiaobai pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke.
“What utter nonsense. Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now? How come you’ve turned into a scaredy-cat now?”
The elder sneered in contempt, fully aware that if he truly went down, Li Xiaobai would definitely make a run for it straight away.
“I am considering the bigger picture, yet you, old man, are only thinking of yourself, lacking any sense of teamwork, which truly breaks my heart.”
Li Xiaobai shook his head in regret.
Ji Wuqing also chuckled and said, “You old fool, how uninteresting. Hurry down or I’ll make you regret it!”
“Heh heh, how about you two go down and scout ahead for me instead?”
“You brat, I have already tested you out. You are just thick-skinned and tough-fleshed, with hardly any spiritual power fluctuations inside. You’re probably just a body cultivator who can’t use your cultivation, right?”
The elder sneered with a grim smile, his figure exploded with speed, retreating a hundred yards away, and reached out a hand towards Li Xiaobai, gripping him from a distance.
In an instant, Li Xiaobai and Ji Wuqing only felt their bodies tighten and become lighter as they were lifted into the air by the power from afar.
“Chuckle, you despicable old man, if you dare, have a real fight with me!”
Ji Wuqing shouted, trying to struggle furiously, but her body wouldn’t budge an inch.
“Heh heh, you’re all invincible, I wouldn’t dare to have a real fight with you. Just go down obediently!”
With that, the elder flicked his wrist, ready to throw Li Xiaobai down.
But at that moment, the previously calm water surface suddenly vibrated violently, ripples spreading swiftly and turning into towering waves against the shores.
A crimson tongue shot out, whipping through the air, wrapping around the elder and Li Xiaobai and pulling them into the water.
Li Xiaobai was inwardly frustrated. Why the hell don’t you just hit me instead of keeping me under control?
“What is this? There’s such a monster at the bottom of the water!”
The elder’s face showed panic. The spiritual power in his Dantian fluctuated violently, his internal cultivation technique running wildly, with the sounds of sonic booms continuously erupting, but he couldn’t break free.
In the void, a Demonic Divine Spirit materialized, towering and imposing, it smashed its fist down, grabbing at the gigantic crimson tongue ferociously.
“Hmm, a Mahayana Realm cultivator. The one sent in this time is quite a catch.”
A faint voice came from the depths of the water. Simultaneously, another explosion rang out in the void, another Demonic Divine Spirit materialized, towering and imposing.
However, this Spirit seemed different from ordinary cultivators; it was a fish, to be precise, a blue whale. Its hefty body swam midair, opening its gigantic mouth wide enough to conceal the sky, and in one gulp, it swallowed the phantom of the elder’s Primordial Spirit.
“Pfft!”
Blood spurted from the elder’s mouth. In an instant, his Primordial Spirit was destroyed by the opponent, and the severe injuries put him on the brink of death.
“The Sea Clan, this is the Sea Clan!”
“To think there’s a Sea Clan being inside the Three Sects, these traitors have conspired together, ensnaring and killing me, there’s no justice in this!”
“Even as a ghost, I will not let you off!”
With a hoarse voice, the elder roared, his eyes flickering with despair.
With such a powerful member of the Sea Clan, he didn’t stand a chance.
The crimson tongue swept up, directly enveloping it into the darkness beneath the water, vanishing from sight.
Li Xiaobai was shocked. The presence of this unknown entity filled him with unease. What kind of power must it possess to kill a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm in a single encounter?
Sea Clan?
Why had he never heard of them before?
Could you show some respect for my newly improved defensive power?
Li Xiaobai was unsure, thinking that he might have just considered himself invincible one moment, only to be slaughtered the next.
He didn’t possess Ji Wuqing’s resurrection ability. If he died, he would truly be dead.
With that thought, Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist, drew a longsword, and swung it straight into the darkness.
“Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!”
There was no response, nothing came hurtling towards him, and Li Xiaobai’s heart suddenly turned cold. ‘Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch’ was currently his most powerful skill, almost never failing him—yet, it proved ineffective this time.
The unknown entity below was somewhat terrifying!
Ji Wuqing, seeing this scene, was so terrified that every feather on his body stood on end. He quickly paddled his short little legs, desperately trying to swim upwards, attempting to flee back to shore.
Unfortunately, the crimson tongue curled around once more, directly enveloping Ji Wuqing into the outstretching darkness.
Only Li Xiaobai remained in the water while the tongue seemed to be playing with him, deliberately saving him for last.
Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist and exchanged a bunch of Instant Transmission Talismans from the marketplace, activating them all at once, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
However, when he reappeared, he was only back on the shore, still unable to escape from this small world.
“What the hell…”
Li Xiaobai was terrified, but before he could curse, the crimson tongue sped towards him and instantly swept him down to the lake’s bottom.
“Seniors, big shots, spare me please, I have lots of Spirit Stones, and besides, I never bathe, my body stinks horribly, it won’t taste good at all!”
Li Xiaobai was shrieking in the water, but it was utterly useless.
A stench enveloped him; then, the surrounding seawater disappeared. A warm sensation came over him, accompanied by a strong corrosive smell, causing Li Xiaobai to retch repeatedly.
He knew he was swallowed by the underwater monster, but his defensive power was still intact, and the corrosive slime inside couldn’t kill him immediately.
Attribute Points were soaring.
[Attribute Point +50000…]
[Attribute Point +50000…]
Hisss!
This thing’s adding a bit too terrifyingly. Even being chased by Ling Xue’er in the Western Desert didn’t add this much. What cultivation level could this monster be?
Could it be some overpowered big shot lying in wait?
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Li Xiaobai fumbled around. He tried to use Hellfire for illumination, but as soon as it was conjured, it was extinguished. Inside this big shot’s belly, flames were ineffective.
The old man who was swept in earlier must have been utterly dead by now. An attack that increased Attribute Points by fifty thousand was not something he could withstand.
Continuing his search inside the belly of the monster, Li Xiaobai found the corpse of Ji Wuqing, the Pudong Rooster produced by the System, capable of resurrecting, with an indestructible body.
Stuffing Ji Wuqing into his bosom, Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist and bought a stack of Thousand Mile Transmission Talismans from the marketplace.
This thing was more powerful than the Instant Transmission Talisman; a single talisman could transport him a thousand miles away.
Activating the talisman, Li Xiaobai’s figure disappeared in an instant.
Yet, when he reappeared, the sight still dumbfounded him. The scene was familiar; he was on the shore, looking at a lake, still inside the Secret Realm. He had merely been transported out of the monster’s belly, not out of this small world.
