"Magic tool!"
The Whale Monster General cried out in alarm. His right arm that was thicker than an ordinary thigh drew back. His giant fist was surrounded by a layer of water, and the outside of the water formed a thick white ice. His entire arm seemed to be covered in a layer of soft armor.
With a loud clang, the medicine pestle flew back into Lu Ping's hand.
The Whale Monster General's massive body drew back. With every step he took, the ground rumbled and trembled. When the Whale Monster General finally managed to steady himself, his dark purple face suddenly flushed red. He spat out a mouthful of blood that dyed the surrounding seawater red.
Lu Ping was startled. He never thought that this majestic monster beast would be able to block a magic tool strike without dying!
There was no turning back now. Lu Ping's spirit pets all rushed towards the severely wounded Whale Monster General. Lu Ping's complexion was dignified as he looked at the Shark Monster General rushing towards him. He swallowed down a spirit restoring pill and pointed out a finger. Landslide howled towards the Shark Monster General.
The magic tool in the Shark Monster General's hand was a long hilted saber. The triangular blade reminded Lu Ping of the fins on a shark's back.
The Shark Monster General slashed out with the saber in his hand, forcefully blocking the strike of Landslide.
'Landslide' flew backwards and the Shark Demon General was also knocked back by 'Landslide'.
How could Lu Ping's attack give the Shark Monster General a chance to catch his breath? The retreating Shark Monster General suddenly felt something strange in the surrounding seawater. A dark current flowed towards his feet. Looking up, he could see a crystal bowl hanging above Lu Ping's head. The surrounding seawater seemed to be controlled by Lu Ping through the crystal bowl.
The Shark Monster General sneered inwardly. To think that he would show off his ability to control water in front of the Monster General.
The Shark Monster General flicked his tail and the water that was controlled by the crystal bowl suddenly stopped listening to him. But, Lu Ping didn't care. The reason he used the crystal bowl was to delay the Shark Monster General.
As the Shark Monster General and Lu Ping were competing in water control techniques, the surrounding seawater was stirred up by the undercurrents. An inconspicuous stream of water seemed to be driven by the undercurrents, losing control as it flew towards the Shark Monster General.
The Shark Monster General glanced over and didn't discover anything wrong. But at this time, this inadvertent undercurrent suddenly erupted. It cut across the Shark Monster General's waist, leaving behind a long trail of blood.
The Shark Monster General cried out in pain as he was injured. He slashed out with his glaive, but there was no trace of flowing water. Then, he felt a sharp pain on his back as the scales on his skin had been cut open. The Shark Monstrous General swiftly chopped at the stream of water that his divine sense had captured, but he discovered that the stream of water had suddenly dispersed, disappearing without a trace.
The Shark Monster General knew that all of this was the work of the human cultivator in front of him. With a roar, he charged towards Lu Ping. He swung his glaive, not caring that the invisible stream of water had left three wounds on his body.
Lu Ping sighed inwardly. This' Formless Sword Art 'was truly wondrous. With Lu Ping's sword arts at the Sword Intent realm, he was able to play with this Shark Monster in the palm of his hand. Normally, Lu Ping would only need to spend some time and he would naturally be able to easily kill this Shark Monster. But, the battle right now had definitely alarmed the Monster Soldiers in Golden Scale Mansion. It was just that this was clearly not a place that ordinary Monster Soldiers could come to. If too much time passed, the Monster Soldiers would discover that something was wrong. Sooner or later, they would come in, and that would be troublesome.
Lu Ping reached out and shook his hand. The undercurrent beside the Shark Monster suddenly exploded, and the Qinghan Sword revealed its true form. With the move 'Undercurrent Surge', over a hundred sword lights followed the surrounding undercurrents and sliced towards the Shark Monster.
The Shark Monster, who had discovered the Qinghan Sword, gave a loud roar, and its glaive drove the surrounding seawater towards the Qinghan Sword. At the same time, it completely stirred up the surrounding seawater, causing the sword lights hidden in the undercurrents to lose their direction.
If only he had reached the level of 'Sword Light Psychic', then the Shark Monster wouldn't have been able to break this sword art so easily. Lu Ping sighed inwardly, thinking back to Daoist Jin Li's six hundred or so sword lights in the Seven Star Skies that had formed that vivid giant fish.
With a turn of the Qinghan Sword, Lu Ping used a move from the 'Thousand Snow Sword Art', 'Heaven's Line'. A white sword light came from far away, and over a hundred sword lights formed a straight line, chopping towards the Shark Monster's glaive.
Although the Shark Monster's glaive was actually powerful, the Qinghan Sword's hundred or so sword lights seemed to form a straight line, all of them chopping down on the same spot of the glaive. Even though the Shark Monster was strong, it still couldn't help but take two steps back. The glaive's hilt had nearly been cut in half.
Just as the Shark Monster was forced back, a bewitching red bead was already floating in the air above the Shark Monster. Countless red threads hung down, firmly binding the Shark Monster. The Shark Monster fiercely struggled free, its entire body surging with monster energy, but to its surprise, the red threads only became tighter and tighter.
The Shark Monster let out a furious roar, glaring at Lu Ping with its two blood-red eyes. Before the Shark Monster could even scream, it felt its body lighten, and then lost all consciousness. The Shark Monster roared angrily, its two blood-red eyes glaring at Lu Ping.
The magic power within Lu Ping's body was already on the verge of drying up after activating the transcendent artifact twice in a row. His pale complexion looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. Lu Ping hurriedly swallowed a Vitality Replenishing Pill into his stomach, lest his magic power deplete and damage his foundation.
Lu Ping rapidly revolved the North Sea Wave Listening Art to restore his magic power. Luckily, this was where the Goldscale Mansion's spirit vein was located, and the spiritual energy here was abundant.
After Lu Ping cultivated the North Sea Wave Listening Art, the speed at which he restored his magic power was slower than that of an ordinary person. But, that was referring to the degree of recovery, not the amount of recovery. On the contrary, every time the North Sea Wave Listening Art revolved it, the amount of spiritual energy it restored was above that of the vast majority of law techniques. It was only because the North Sea Wave Listening Art cultivated magic power was far too vigorous, and in addition to the fact that Lu Ping paid particular attention to consolidating his foundation from the start, pursuing the purity and richness of his magic power, that caused Lu Ping's recovery speed to seem much slower than other cultivators of the same level.
As Lu Ping used the Graceful Azure Sword to attract the shark monster's attention, and then used the Scarlet Afterglow Bead to imprison the shark monster, and finally used the Jade Blood Needle to pierce through the shark monster's eyes into its brain, on the other side, the battle between Lu Qin and the other spirit pets and the Whale Monster General was nearing its end.
The Whale Monster General had been heavily wounded by Lu Ping's magic weapon pestle. Although he was the number one Monster General of Goldscale Mansion, he was still severely wounded by the combined efforts of Lu Qin and the other spirit pets. But the Whale Monster General was still at the peak of the Blood Condensation realm. Even though he was severely wounded, he wasn't someone that Lu Qin and the other spirit pets could easily defeat. Big Gui's tortoiseshell already had several cracks on it.
He lay there, not daring to move, fearing that if he moved, the tortoiseshell on his back would completely shatter. Lu Bi's scales had been peeled off, and they were all bloody. Lu Hai's tail had been flattened by the Whale Monster General's fist, and he was in so much pain that he spun around. Lu Ling had simply fainted. The beautiful Blue Luan's body was a complete mess. Feathers were scattered all over the ground, and many of them were floating towards the surface of the sea. The seabed wasn't a battlefield that Lu Qin excelled in, but her cultivation was the highest. She was the main force that blocked the Whale Monster General.
Only Dabao was completely unscathed!
Lu Ping knew that after Dabao finished investigating the spirit veins, he had also joined the battle. However, Dabao had only found an opening to place a trap under the Whale Monster General's feet, and then he would hide far away and release several earth spikes. Unfortunately, the power of his earth spikes was too weak, and the Whale Monster General would often crush them with a single stomp. Instead, Dabao's traps had given the Whale Monster General a great deal of trouble, and they provided a great deal of help to the other spirit pets in battle.
After the battle ended, the clever Dabao took advantage of the time when Lu Ping was tidying up the corpses of the two giant Monster Beasts that had returned to their original forms. Like a wisp of smoke, he ran off to the ruins of the two stone chambers to collect the spoils of war.
Unfortunately, neither of the two Monster Beasts had a Condensed Blood Bead. The strength of these two Monster Beasts was tyrannical, and their strength was no less than that of the Overturned Sea Gang's Sea-Calming Hall Master that Lu Ping had killed in the Seven Star Skies. And, this Hall Master was someone who had fought on equal footing with Ai Botao. In other words, Lu Ping had killed two Monster Beasts that were on par with the 18 Generals of the North Sea.
After peeling off his skin and pulling out his tendons, Dabao ran over with two jade boxes on his head.
Lu Ping's eyes brightened. He reached out and picked up the two boxes, impatiently opening them. Within each box were three radiant Spirit Beads. If these weren't six of the 12 Spirit Beads that had spouted out when Mizar Hall had opened, then what were they?
Lu Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart. He placed the six Spirit Beads into the box that Lu Ping had used to store the Spirit Beads. The 12 Spirit Beads suddenly began to revolve on their own, as if they were attracting each other, forming the shape of a giant water droplet.
Lu Ping was very curious. These 12 Spirit Beads had already lost their spiritual nature, so how could they still revolve on their own?
Lu Ping looked at the water droplet formed by the Spirit Beads and suddenly understood. These 12 Spirit Beads were formed from the same type of Spiritual Water of Heaven and Earth that had lost its spiritual nature. In other words, these 12 Spirit Beads were one, and not like what Lu Ping had previously imagined. Mizar Laozu's disciple had searched everywhere for Spiritual Water of Heaven and Earth that had lost its spiritual nature to form these beads. After gathering all 12 of them, he had offered them to Laozu.
Lu Ping was rather shocked in his heart, but at the same time, he was ecstatic from the bottom of his heart.
If these 12 Spirit Beads were formed from the same type of Spiritual Water, then there would be two advantages. First, the Spiritual Water of Heaven and Earth that had been used to form the Spirit Beads would have been massive, otherwise, it would have been impossible to form so many of them. Second, the grade of the Spiritual Water of Heaven and Earth was definitely not low. Otherwise, the residual spiritual nature of the condensed Spirit Beads would not have been able to cause the Spirit Beads to fuse together.
Lu Ping suddenly understood why Daoist Jinli had not kept these six Spirit Beads for himself. Besides the fact that Daoist Jinli already had his own Natal Magic Weapon, Daoist Jinli had probably already noticed that although these six Spirit Beads were one, they were not complete. Although the might of the Natal Magic Weapon would be great, it would not be able to reach its peak.
Lu Ping had already achieved his goal of risking his life to infiltrate Golden Scale Manor. Lu Ping looked at the manor in front of him. Although Lu Ping had stepped into the manor's Grand Protective Array, it was obvious that only Daoist Jinli could enter the manor. Once Lu Ping stepped inside, he would most likely trigger the restriction that Daoist Jinli had left behind, alerting Daoist Jinli, who was thousands of miles away.
Lu Ping felt rather conflicted in his heart. Dabao had just infiltrated the earth vein and had not found the Spiritual Gathering Bead. Moreover, because of the Grand Protective Array, Dabao could not infiltrate the manor and could only search underground.
If he retreated now, not to mention whether or not there would be any treasures left behind by Daoist Jinli in the manor, just the small spirit vein was enough to make Lu Ping salivate. If he could move it to his abode on Huang Li Island …
