Chapter 451: Chapter 210: Three of Us Against One Xiao Chen, The Advantage Is Mine
He remembered the pile of Bounty Orders posted by Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Among them, a full eleven people had bounties worth over a million Spirit Stones.
The total rewards added up to over ten million Spirit Stones, practically a Spirit Stone mine.
But there was a problem: those people were probably not easy to catch.
Just as Xiao Chen was lost in thought, a violent fluctuation of Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted in the distance, startling him.
’Is someone in a Magical Combat?’
Following the Spiritual Qi fluctuation with his gaze, he saw a Golden Core Cultivator to the northwest, flying this way using Sword Control.
Behind him, two auras belonging to Early Stage Golden Core cultivators were rapidly weaving through the sea, in hot pursuit.
They didn’t seem to be human, but rather two Golden Core Demon Beasts.
In an instant, an idea flashed through Xiao Chen’s mind—Demon Pills!
’How could I have forgotten about those?’
What was the one thing the Eastern Domain had in abundance?
Tier Three Sea Fish!
In the vast ocean, heavens knew how many Tier Three Sea Fish there were.
Moreover, Cultivators could use the Nine Luminaries Profound Pill to enhance their True Essence, but Sea Fish shouldn’t have such an ability.
In other words, they were soft targets.
And since Xiao Chen was also a Body Cultivator, if he could catch a Tier Three Sea Fish, not only would he get a Demon Pill, but he could also save some money on buying fish meat. It was killing two birds with one stone!
The saying goes: ’live off the mountain, live off the sea.’ Since he was by the ocean, it only made sense to live off of it.
"Fellow Cultivator, help me!"
The fleeing Cultivator in front also saw Xiao Chen and hurriedly shouted, "I am a Cultivator from the Jin Family of Ten Thousand Immortals Island! I implore you, Fellow Cultivator, to lend me a hand. I will be sure to reward you generously afterward."
.
Jin Baoqiang had originally followed two Middle Stage Golden Core elders from his family to participate in the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.
The Secret Realm ended a month ago, and the group decided to tour the vicinity of Hundred Herbs Island to experience the sights of the Nanlao Sea.
So, they had stayed for over half a month and hadn’t started their journey back.
Today, Jin Baoqiang had woken up early to go out for a spin, but unexpectedly, he was targeted halfway by two Sea Fish of the same rank, which ambushed him from their hiding spot in the water.
If not for a Life-saving Jade Talisman given to him by his family, he would have already perished.
After that, he fled, trying to seek the protection of his family members.
However, the two Sea Fish were incredibly fast, and the distance between them was visibly shrinking, making his heart burn with anxiety.
Just then, he happened to encounter what seemed to be a fellow cultivator passing by on Sword Control up ahead and hastily called for help.
At the same time, he brought up his identity as one of the Jin Family Members, hoping the other party would lend a hand.
After all, when faced with this kind of trouble, many Loose Cultivators would likely choose to stay away, unwilling to draw fire upon themselves.
Fortunately, to Jin Baoqiang’s delight, the fellow cultivator stopped in place after hearing his cry for help, looking as if he was willing to assist.
’This is great!’
"I am Jin Baoqiang. Thank you for your help, Fellow Cultivator!"
While taking out a Talisman to suppress the Sea Fish, he took the initiative to explain the situation and reassure the other party, "I already sent out a Sound Transmission Spirit Sword for help at the first opportunity."
"As long as we can hold on for a moment, elders from my family will arrive to support us."
Hmm?
’Someone will be here in a moment to snatch the Demon Pills?’
Xiao Chen’s gaze sharpened. ’So there’s a time limit. It seems I can’t be too low-key today; I’ll have to use some of my strength to end this quickly.’
’The True Yang Fire Dragon is a bit too flashy and could easily expose me. It’s best to keep it hidden.’
’I just happened to have practiced my Swordsmanship a few times. I’ll use my sword to slay the demons.’
He stood in mid-air, gripped the Donghua Wind Sword, and infused it with True Essence before swinging out a streak of Sword Light.
For this first strike, Xiao Chen only used thirty percent of his strength as a test.
Even at only thirty percent, with the Augment’s enhancement and his condensed True Essence, it instantly blasted up a hundred-zhang wave.
This caused Jin Baoqiang’s eyes to light up. ’Such powerful Sword Qi! I’m definitely saved now.’
’The strength he’s showing isn’t weak. If we cooperate, we can hold out for a long time.’
One Sea Fish reacted quickly, whipping its tail to slap up a ten-foot white wave to block the Sword Light.
The other was a beat too slow to dodge, and its dorsal fin was sliced off by three inches. Enraged, a large patch of its scales lit up, and it shot back hundreds of Ice Blades in retaliation.
Seeing this, Jin Baoqiang unhesitatingly threw the Talisman in his hand, which immediately transformed into a Cyan Lotus that enveloped the two of them.
Whether it was the Ice Blades flying from the sea or the crashing waves, a lotus leaf would descend to block them.
It would then retract, not interfering with their ability to attack.
When cooperating with other Cultivators in battle, one had to be cautious when using Defense Magic like the Water Curtain Technique.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t just block the enemy, but could easily block your allies as well.
However, seeing this, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. ’These two Sea Fish seem a bit unusual.’
’If it were a Golden Core Cultivator from the Southern Domain, even if I only used thirty percent of my strength, they definitely couldn’t have blocked it so easily.’
"Sharp Qi Picking Clouds!"
He executed an upward-picking strike with a backhand motion, adding another twenty percent to his power.
The Donghua Wind Sword in his hand instantly transformed into a ten-foot-long streak of white light that plunged into the sea, tracing an arc to strike upward from beneath the left Sea Fish.
This strike was even faster, and the Sea Fish had no time to dodge.
But it didn’t just wait to be slaughtered. Instead, all the scales on its body lit up, emitting a layer of deep blue True Essence that formed a shell around it.
"CRACK~!"
The Sword Light struck the shell, pausing for a visible moment.
"SHATTER~!"
The shell shattered, but the flying fragments impeded the Sword Light again. In the end, it only managed to shave off a single scale, failing to inflict a critical wound.
"Beautiful!"
Jin Baoqiang used a Talisman to pin down the other Sea Fish, but didn’t forget to shout his praise, "Fellow Cultivator, such incredible skill!"
As a disciple from a major family, he could tell at a glance that the *Sharp Light Cloud Sword* Swordsmanship was not high-grade.
