Chapter 230: The Sixth Demon Whale King.
The divine, scorching Holy Sword plunged into the sea, like dropping a red-hot iron sheet into water. The waters instantly boiled, and a vast mass of steam rose into the air.
"Hmm?"
Sensing a threat from behind, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King halted his flight, turning and unleashing a terrifying burst of crimson lightning.
Dense bursts of red lightning poured down, countering the Holy Sword.
Immediately, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King forcibly shattered the attack, transforming into a smaller, more vulnerable human form and continuing its flight into the deep sea.
Having lived for so many years, save for a head-on confrontation with the Sea God ten thousand years ago, it has largely remained in hiding.
It will not easily engage a being of its own caliber; as long as it doesn't fight, it won't be killed.
Unless its opponent is clearly weaker, it will never easily provoke them.
Now, with two beings of equal strength, the battle becomes even more impossible.
"How cunning!"
Qian Daoliu saw that the opponent wasn't engaging him or his companions, and felt somewhat helpless.
After all, the enemy's strength was obvious. If they were determined to escape, there was nothing they could do.
"Let me do it."
Gu Han descended, his aura erupting. After breaking through level 90, his ninth spirit ring was unsealed, and with it, his level reached 93.
This burst of powerful energy instantly chilled the sea.
Gu Han's gaze was stern, and his sword surged, unleashing an endless stream of crescent-shaped sword energy. Each blade of energy carried terrifying murderous intent and pierced the bone. As the sword energy struck the sea, even the water froze.
Unlike ordinary fresh water, seawater contains a significant amount of sodium chloride, which can corrode ice, but under the extreme ice, it had no effect.
Each sword energy trailed a long icy tail.
"A trifle!"
While these sword energies were formidable, they were nothing to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He spun around and unleashed countless energy balls, neutralizing the incoming sword energy.
"This won't do. Grandpa Qian, Senior Bo Saixi, force it out!"
"Alright."
Bo Saixi had finally come to her senses. Though her mind was swirling with thoughts, she focused on dealing with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"The Sea God summons all beasts, aboard!"
Bo Saixi waved her scepter, a terrifying burst of energy erupting. Suddenly, the sea surged like a tsunami, and countless sea spirit beasts, transformed from soul power, swam through it, pouncing on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Angel Roar!"
Two six-winged angels simultaneously unleashed a mental attack. Their sharp roars transformed into invisible spiritual blades, piercing the seabed in wave after wave.
The Azure Luan transformed into a divine bird, its wings flapping, creating a terrifying hurricane that whipped up countless seawater.
The Spirit Kite similarly transformed into a flaming phoenix, like a sun soaring overhead, its intense flames causing the ocean to boil endlessly.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong once again unleashed their sixth soul skill, their boundless sword energy descending, dodging the intense flames and soaring into the sea from another direction.
"Hmph, this is too much!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, resisting the incoming attack, became somewhat enraged. He manipulated the power of the ocean, stirring up a devastating wave. This wave, swirling with terrifying soul power, slammed into the crowd with overwhelming force.
"Disperse!"
Gu Han and Bibi Dong immediately flew back high into the sky to avoid the attack.
The others dispersed in all directions, while Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu continued their attacks on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, one on each side.
"Damn you, human! Don't go too far! Even if you have two Ultimate Douluo and five Titled Douluo, you can't kill me!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, soaring high into the sky. He had now survived the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation, his entire body only one step away from dragon transformation, and his strength was second only to that of a god.
Now, high above the sea, with his advantage, he had no fear of these people.
However, shouting them back was not impossible. His aura became terrifying, and his entire soul power erupted, temporarily forcing everyone back.
He looked at the powerful humans around him, especially Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, the ones he feared the most.
"Human, go back! You can't kill me. If you insist on being aggressive, even if I self-destruct, you won't gain anything from me."
"Hmph, Demon Whale King, do you think we're three-year-old children?"
Bo Saixi's eyes were icy. She had come here determined to kill him, so how could she retreat under a few threats?
"Demon Whale King, if you're willing to sacrifice yourself, you'll suffer less."
The holy sword in Qian Daoliu's hand emanated a terrifying divine power, which had a restraining effect on the Demon Whale King.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes were icy, his aura overwhelming.
Everyone was on high alert. A being of such power forced even Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi to approach with caution.
Suddenly, the Demon Whale King transformed into a stream of red light, and at a speed invisible to the naked eye, it transformed into a meteor, breaking through the encirclement and soaring into the distance.
Qian Daoliu:
Bo Saixi:
Everyone:
Gu Han and Bibi Dong were completely stunned. No, this guy's character wasn't right. Shouldn't he have fought back?
Why had he escaped?
"Chase!"
Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu almost simultaneously transformed into two streaks of rainbow light and gave chase.
"Chase!"
The others immediately followed.
Although Gu Han could rely on his Yang Shen to catch up with the opponent in an instant, there was no need. He couldn't defeat him, and chasing him would be the same as giving up. It was better to just follow behind.
Of the others, Azure Luan and Qian Xunji flew the fastest. The Azure Luan is a wind-attributed phoenix, which inherently excels in speed. Combined with its ninety-eighth level strength, it flies much faster than even a Titled Douluo of the Agility system.
Qian Xunji's spirit is a hexagonal god-level spirit, so its speed is naturally impressive.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong flew on their swords, with their master's wife in the third tier.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was currently in a state of intense frustration. Damn, it was just an honest soul beast that ate and slept, sleeping and eating, and it didn't mess with anyone.
Ten thousand years ago, it was tricked by the Sea God into helping him rule the ocean, hoping to achieve godhood together. But at the last minute, he turned against it, abandoning it and blinding one of its eyes.
They called it an evil soul beast. Damn, why didn't you call me an evil soul beast when we first started working together? Now that the fight is over and I'm about to become a god, you're calling me an evil soul beast?
Though resentful, at least it survived, and since then, it's been nothing but eating and sleeping.
Now, for no apparent reason, it's been attacked by a group of human masters.
They're saying they want to kill it. Who did I offend to be so unlucky?
I'm a 990,000-year-old supremely ferocious beast, a demigod, just one step away from becoming a dragon.
These humans are crazy. They have so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts to hunt, but they insist on provoking this most formidable beast. Aren't they afraid of death?
Moreover, his soul power is second only to that of a god. How could a mere girl withstand his mental impact?
Even though it was only a brief exchange, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already figured out who the other party was hunting him for as a soul ring.
After all, of all people, only that little girl had eight soul rings and a soul power of level ninety. Who else could it be but her?
