Chapter 861: Chapter 860: Killing Too Slowly? Chu Sheng Has a Solution!
Southwest Front.
The Sea Demon Army had completely devolved into a chaotic mess. They had originally formed a standard siege formation—pointed at the front and wide at the back, advancing layer by layer. From start to finish, they had only considered how to break through the city walls and crush the Human Race defenders.
They hadn’t considered the issue of Defense at all.
After all, no one could have ever imagined it. A lone Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator from the opposing side actually dared to single-handedly charge into a Sea Demon Army of hundreds of thousands!
This wasn’t bravery!
This was sheer madness!
It wasn’t until Gu Yuexi gripped her sword and leaped down from the city wall, followed by a single mosquito, fifty mosquito avatars, and a few hundred scattered Soul-Collecting Butterflies, charging straight toward their vanguard, that the Sea Demon Commander suddenly snapped back to reality.
Gu Yuexi actually dared to do it!
She had actually charged straight into the heart of the Sea Demon Army all by herself!
The Sea Demon Commander had fought in wars for thousands of years and participated in hundreds of large and small battles against the Human Race. It had never encountered such an absurd situation.
For a moment, the Sea Demon Commander was utterly dumbfounded!
Hovering in mid-air and staring in Gu Yuexi’s direction, it didn’t know how to respond. It could only watch helplessly as Gu Yuexi darted left and right through the vanguard. With her sword blade dancing, the surrounding Sea Demons fell in swathes like harvested wheat.
The absolute frontline of the Sea Demon Army mostly consisted of low-level Sea Demons in the Divinity Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm. Sea Demons in the Integration Realm were extremely rare.
After all, the echelons used to ram the city walls were merely cannon fodder, making low-level Sea Demons the most suitable choice. Now that their formation was in disarray and command signals were delayed, they simply couldn’t stop Gu Yuexi’s onslaught.
The entire front line of the Sea Demon Army was forcefully torn open, leaving a massive gaping hole.
The Sea Demon Commander subconsciously glanced toward the rear of the army.
The black mist where the Storm Giant Ape King resided was churning slightly more violently than before. Clearly, the entity inside had also noticed the anomaly on the front lines.
The Sea Demon Commander hesitated for a moment, gritted its teeth, and issued a low-voiced command to a nearby subordinate.
"Go send a message to the Storm Giant Ape King. Tell him to remain patient.
"If the army still cannot kill Gu Yuexi within three minutes..." The Sea Demon Commander paused, reluctantly forcing out the words it least wanted to say. "Then request the Storm Giant Ape King to take action."
To deal with a Junior Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm, they actually had to resort to a True God Realm Sea Demon taking action.
The Sea Demon Commander could already imagine it. Once the battle ended, its peers would mock it relentlessly!
Therefore, it had to take down Gu Yuexi within three minutes!
The subordinate replied with a "Yes" and turned, speeding off toward the Storm Giant Ape King.
The Sea Demon Commander turned its head back, staring fixedly at the white silhouette in the center of the battlefield. Its face was so incredibly gloomy that it looked like it could drip water.
"Damn it!
"I, your Commander, simply refuse to believe this!
"Can a mere Junior Cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm really turn the tides?!
"With hundreds of thousands of Sea Demons, we’ll drown you in sheer numbers until you die!!!"
With Gu Yuexi’s current strength, she indeed couldn’t overthrow this Sea Demon Army.
After all, she was no match for the True God Realm and Celestial God Realm experts in the rear. However, turning the frontline of this Sea Demon Army right in front of her completely upside down...
That was worth a try.
Gu Yuexi casually swung her sword, sending a lunging Void Refinement Realm Sea Demon flying. As the sword light flashed, her opponent was directly decapitated.
"Mosquito, these Soul-Collecting Butterflies of yours are evolving quite fast." Her tone was calm as she slaughtered her way through while speaking to Chu Sheng beside her.
"Hehe, they’re alright. It’s all thanks to the Sea Demon corpses serving as nourishment," Chu Sheng said, flapping his wings and flying by her side with a proud expression.
He simultaneously commanded the Soul-Collecting Butterflies to scatter and stealthily absorb the Divine Souls of the Sea Demons while observing the densely packed Sea Demons around them, quickly making an analysis.
"These Sea Demons spend all year soaking in the sea, so they’re particularly skilled in the Law of Water.
"Out of every ten, at least eight primarily cultivate the Law of Water.
"Although they benefit from their natural environment, allowing their mastery of the Law of Water to far exceed that of Human Race cultivators in the same realm...
"Their flaw is also extremely obvious. The Power of Law they comprehend is too monotonous.
"While some Sea Demons have comprehended other laws.
"For instance, the Destruction Law and Law of Darkness used by the Flying Shark Brothers earlier.
"But Sea Demons who comprehend other laws are ultimately in the minority."
Chu Sheng’s compound eyes darted around, and he quickly formed an idea.
"Killing them one by one like this by the book is too slow. Even if it’s as easy as chopping vegetables, it’s inefficient.
"We need to change strategies and process them in bulk."
Gu Yuexi’s delicate eyebrows arched slightly, piquing her interest. "Oh? What good idea do you have this time?"
Chu Sheng didn’t answer immediately.
With a shift of his Divine Thought, he commanded a nearby Outer Body Avatar to stop its movements. Then, he made the Outer Body Avatar spread its wings. Lightning flickered around it as it directly unfurled the Thunder Emperor Domain.
Immediately after, it unleashed the Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison.
RUMBLE...
Countless streaks of purple lightning struck down from the sky, densely packed together.
However, this lightning didn’t strike the Sea Demons directly. Instead, it landed precisely on the seawater, Water Curtains, and Water Shields condensed by the Law of Water around the Sea Demons.
If it had struck the Sea Demons directly, the Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison’s power would have been dispersed since it was a wide-range Attack Skill. Other than killing a few Sea Demons who had just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm, it wouldn’t be able to kill the vast majority of them. At most, it would shock them into numbness. The cost-effectiveness was very low.
But landing in the seawater condensed by the Law of Water around the Sea Demons resulted in a completely different effect.
Water conducts electricity. The moment the lightning touched the seawater, it instantly spread along the water currents.
Dozens of Sea Demons within the area stiffened up, immediately falling into a paralyzed state from the electrocution. Their bodies twitched uncontrollably. They couldn’t even release a Spell, let alone dodge.
Watching the dozens of Sea Demons in the Thunder Domain stiffen in place like wooden stakes, Chu Sheng stretched out a front leg toward Gu Yuexi.
"Sword, come!"
Gu Yuexi didn’t hesitate. With a flick of her wrist, she directly tossed the Godslaying Ruins Sword to Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng caught the longsword with his front leg.
Following that, his figure flashed as he entered the Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison laid out by the Outer Body Avatar via Instant Teleportation.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Sea Demons hadn’t yet recovered from their paralysis, he swung his sword at the nearest Sea Demon.
The Godslaying Ruins Sword was incomparably sharp, and with the enhancement of the Law of Thunder, it effortlessly severed the Sea Demon’s head.
Chu Sheng’s figure blurred as he used Instant Teleportation to appear beside another Sea Demon. He brought down another sword strike, clean and decisive.
The paralyzed Sea Demons had absolutely no way to mount a Defense, nor could they dodge. They could only let Chu Sheng slaughter them at will. It was no different from chopping wooden stakes.
Chu Sheng continuously repeated the sequence of Instant Teleportation, striking with his sword, and Instant Teleportation again. His Speed was so fast that he was reduced to nothing but a series of afterimages.
In just three seconds, all the Sea Demons within the coverage of the Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison released by this Outer Body Avatar had been slaughtered to the last by Chu Sheng.
Sheathing the sword, Chu Sheng flew back to Gu Yuexi’s side and flicked the beads of blood off the blade.
"How about it? My method isn’t bad, right?
"It’s much faster than killing them one by one, and it saves energy too."
Gu Yuexi nodded, her eyes carrying a bit of praise. "Indeed, the efficiency has increased significantly."
Chu Sheng waved his front leg, sporting an expression that said "this is just basic operations, no need to be amazed."
"It’s alright, just routine procedure.
"You can just rest on the side. I, Lord Mosquito, will handle this small fry."
After saying that, he was just about to command the remaining Outer Body Avatars to follow this method and clear out the Sea Demons in batches.
But Gu Yuexi suddenly spoke up.
"Can you have all the Outer Body Avatars unfold the Thunder Domain at the same time and simultaneously release the Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison?"
