Chapter 452: Chapter 210: Three Against Xiao Chen, The Advantage Is Ours
But this only proved that the man before him had most likely cultivated this low-level Swordsmanship to the Great Success Realm, which was why it could display such power.
Judging by his appearance, he had to be over two hundred years old. He was probably another Sword Cultivator completely dedicated to the Sword Dao.
Thinking this, Jin Baoqiang focused a bit more of his attention on the Cyan Lotus above his head.
’Most Sword Cultivators excel at offense, so I guess I’ll handle the Defense.’
However, despite hearing the praise, Xiao Chen’s expression was rather serious.
He had just seen the Sea Fish manifest its True Essence, and it was exceptionally condensed.
’What’s going on?’
’Did it eat a Nine Luminaries Profound Pill, too?’
’Looks like it ate even more than I did?’
Of course, that was impossible. The only explanation was that this Sea Fish was no ordinary specimen.
The more this was the case, the more interested Xiao Chen became in its Demon Pill.
’Could it be that my luck has finally turned, and I’ve run into a mutated Sea Fish?’
"Return!"
With a wave of his hand, the Donghua Wind Sword burst from the water, carved a semicircle in the sky, and returned to his grasp.
’If that’s the case, it’s fine to reveal a bit of my Swordsmanship for the sake of a mutated Sea Fish.’
"Heart Light Break!"
Xiao Chen poured all his power into the Wind Sword in his hand, simultaneously merging a portion of his Divine Sense with the Flying Sword.
Then, as if gripping a Flying Saber, he threw it downward. The blade left a long trail in its wake, like a shooting star.
The move seemed slow, but in reality, it was incredibly fast.
The instant he threw it, the sword pierced the Sea Fish’s body.
Before it could cast any Magic or even try to dodge, the Donghua Wind Sword ran straight through its head.
SLAP! SLAP!
The massive fish thrashed desperately in the sea, its tail kicking up sheets of spray.
But this was merely the Sea Fish’s residual, instinctual reaction.
After struggling for a moment, faint golden streams of blood began to seep from the wound. Its body had lost all vitality and slowly began to sink toward the seabed.
Seeing its companion fall, the other Sea Fish seemed to be triggered by something.
In an instant, its entire body began to glow, shining like the full moon of the mid-autumn festival reflected on the sea.
An immense amount of True Essence poured out, drawing in all the seawater within a radius of dozens of miles. In an instant, it formed a Water Dragon Roll hundreds of yards tall.
Immediately after, the Water Dragon Roll began to exert an exceptionally powerful suction force.
It even captured all the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The seawater from hundreds of miles around was furiously drawn in, then spewed out from high in the sky, creating a massive downpour.
The Cyan Lotus in mid-air lasted less than three breaths before it was sucked into the Water Dragon Roll and instantly crushed.
The new Defense Talisman Jin Baoqiang had just activated lasted only two breaths before it dimmed.
He tried to use Sword Control to fly away, but not only could he not escape, he found himself being pulled closer and closer to the Water Dragon Roll.
Terrified, his face turned ashen. "Help me! I can’t hold on!"
"Fellow cultivator, give me a hand!"
.
Xiao Chen, however, still had some strength to spare. He pulled the Immortal Binding Rope from his Storage Ring and threw one end over like a lifeline.
He then activated Chasing Stars and Racing the Moon, forcefully breaking free of the suction. He pulled Jin Baoqiang along with him, rushing several miles away.
Then he turned and once again cast Heart Light Break, striking at the other Sea Fish.
The Sea Fish itself was caught in the pull of its own Magic, unable to dodge in time, and it too was pierced by the sword.
With its True Essence cut off, the massive Water Dragon Roll collapsed on its own.
"Phew... That scared me to death."
Jin Baoqiang placed a hand on his chest, clearly still shaken.
Xiao Chen immediately flew back. He controlled his Flying Sword to cut the two Sea Fish into large chunks and stored them in his Vast Sea Ring.
At the same time, he collected the two gleaming golden Demon Pills.
While an Inner Core could increase one’s total Magical Power or help a Cultivator’s training, when it came to condensing True Essence, a Demon Pill was an item no less valuable than a top-tier Tier Three Spiritual Object.
Not to mention, the True Essence of these two Sea Fish was clearly condensed and out of the ordinary.
That being the case, their Demon Pills should have an even better effect.
Just as Xiao Chen was collecting the Sea Fish meat, the auras of two new Golden Core cultivators arrived from afar.
"Nephew Baoqiang, are you all right?"
"Nephew, what’s going on? What happened here?"
It turned out to be two elders from the Jin Family who had arrived.
They had received his Sound Transmission Spirit Sword earlier and had been rushing in this direction ever since.
With nothing to obstruct the view over the sea, the massive Water Dragon Roll from just now was extremely conspicuous even from hundreds of miles away, and it had immediately caught their attention.
So they had quickly approached and, just as they’d expected, found Jin Baoqiang.
At the same time, they also saw the golden blood dispersing in the sea not far away.
The two of them immediately exchanged a look, recognizing it as the sign of a mutated Sea Fish.
Unlike with Land Spirit Beasts or the creatures in the Boundary Sea, a large portion of the High-Tier Sea Fish here in the Eastern Domain possessed mutated bloodlines.
The reason for this was simply that the total population of Sea Fish was enormous.
With such a large base population, it was naturally easier for individuals with atavistic bloodlines to appear.
The population of Sea Fish was thousands of times greater than that of Land Spirit Beasts, so the number of mutated Sea Fish was also naturally hundreds or thousands of times greater.
After getting a general idea of the situation, the two Jin Family elders immediately grew covetous.
Overall, the Eastern Domain was not lacking in Tier Three Sea Fish, nor was it short on mutated ones.
But on an individual level, they were definitely in need!
These were two Mutated Demon Pills, worth at least as much as four ordinary Demon Pills.
If the pills were to fall into their hands, they could shorten their cultivation time by at least five years.
One had to understand, ordinary Cultivators didn’t have the benefit of Augments.
Their cultivation speed was already slow, often taking decades or even centuries for any progress.
Naturally, they were all the more desperate for treasures like this that could speed up their training. To them, saving five years of cultivation time was almost equivalent to extending their lifespan by five years.
