"Tsing Hui, will Big Sister be alright?"
Dan Taiyu asked worriedly.
"Although the dam has been torn apart, the fortifications can still be of some use. Moreover, Miss Dan Taiying is an expert who has cultivated spirit-grade stellar energy, so she won't be in any danger for the time being. Thus, we need to figure out the purpose of these sea beasts charging inland as soon as possible. Only then can we deal with the crisis of North Sea City."
Dan Taiyu nodded.
The two of them quickly ran, following the giant wave that was heading toward the interior of Dragon Roar River.
After a while, Dan Taiyu said, "Tsing Hui, I just sensed that one of those sea beasts is somewhat unusual. A lot of water origin energy is spontaneously converging toward it, as if its affinity with water is higher than mine …"
"Hm?! Its affinity with water is higher than yours … "
Tsing Hui's gaze turned to the wave that Dan Taiyu was pointing at. "You've awakened the Winged Dragon bloodline, so your affinity with water isn't something that ordinary sea beasts or spirit-grade sea beasts can compare to. For it to surpass you in water affinity … even if it's not a sacred beast, it must be a half-sacred beast that has awakened its sacred beast bloodline!"
Half-sacred beast!
There was actually a half-sacred beast in that wave!
"Looks like we've found the right person. Follow that half-sacred beast, and we'll definitely be able to figure out their purpose."
"Mm!"
Dan Taiyu nodded heavily.
The giant wave surged.
Hundreds of sea beasts swept the giant wave across the dam, and after charging for forty kilometers, they suddenly changed direction and headed for the branch of Dragon Roar River.
"That's … Liuchuan River … Liuchuan River is only a small river, and it's not suitable for sea beasts to display their strength. Why did these sea beasts abandon Dragon Roar River and head for Liuchuan River instead?"
Dan Taiyu cried out in alarm.
"Their purpose isn't to enter the interior of Dragon Whale Island and wreak havoc, but something else. Naturally, they won't head along Dragon Roar River. Let's follow them!"
As Tsing Hui spoke, he stepped into the territory of Liuchuanhe.
Compared to the Dragon Chant River, the flow of Liuchuan River was much less. The sea beasts that rushed into Liuchuan River were wrapped in huge waves as they moved forward. As the flow of water decreased, many sea beasts were almost half exposed on the surface of the river. These sea beasts had to line up to pass through some of the narrower areas.
Seeing that the water flow had slowed down by a large amount, Tsing Hui no longer watched. His figure flew, and when he flew past some of the nearby sea beasts, Sword Qi exploded out. Surging heat tore through space and slashed into the bodies of the sea beasts that were closer to the river bank. As he moved forward, he secretly killed the sea beasts. Although the efficiency was slow, it was better than nothing.
"Where is that?"
Tsing Hui and Dan Taiyu chased after them for over 30 kilometers. When they saw a small lake in front of them, they hurriedly asked.
"That seems to be the Jade Water Lake. It's a small lake that's not very famous. It's said that even ordinary big fish find it hard to survive there."
"An ordinary small lake …"
Tsing Hui stared at the small lake for a while. The small lake was one li in diameter, similar to a large pond. There was nothing special about it.
But contrary to Tsing Hui's expectations, when the sea beasts passed by the Jade Water Lake, they did not move forward. Instead, they roared and directly charged into the lake.
And almost as these sea beasts killed their way into the periphery of the Jade Water Lake, a low roar suddenly came from the lake. Soon after, a giant beast the size of a small mountain emerged from the lake. Behind it, a giant snake covered in large amounts of scales suddenly attacked, instantly biting off the throat of one of the sea beasts.
"This is …"
Dan Taiyu could not help but cry out when she saw the fierce beast that was three to four meters in diameter emerge from the center of the lake. "Turtle and snake in one body! Xuanwu! This is one of the Six Saints, Xuanwu! "
"Xuanwu?!"
Tsing Hui also stared at the small creature in the center of the lake, his expression grave.
Xuanwu!
It was a top water-type sacred beast. It was one of the Six Saints, along with the wood-type Azure Dragon, metal-type White Tiger, fire-type Vermilion Bird, earth-type Gouchen, and wind-type Soaring Serpent, and represented the peak of the six attributes of sacred beasts.
This was a terrifying creature that could be called a semi-divine beast.
Although Xuanwu took a long time to reach adulthood, once it reached adulthood, it would immediately possess battle prowess comparable to a peak Saint. And this Xuanwu in front of them, based on its ability to stir up trouble, was clearly just a cub. This kind of peak sacred beast's cub could be said to be a treasure. It could easily extract several drops of complete Xuanwu blood essence, and the price of each drop of blood essence was probably comparable to that of a Class 8 or Class 9 Divine Weapon.
No wonder, no wonder these sea beasts wanted to kill their way into Dragonwhale Island. It was a cub sacred beast!
Once they could divide and devour this Xuanwu cub, there was a 99% chance that they would transform and evolve. Some of the sea beasts whose bloodlines were already at the peak of the Spiritual Grade might even mutate and evolve into semi-divine beasts or even sacred beasts.
As for the semi-divine beast in the center of the waves, there was a 99% chance that it would evolve into a true sacred beast.
"Tsing Hui, we …"
"Keep an eye on it! Although that Xuanwu is also at Class 4 and looks like it has just transformed, a sacred beast of this level is definitely not easy to deal with. I'm afraid that even if the Dragonwhale Island Lord personally makes a move, he would only be able to defeat it and not kill it … "
"Class 4?!"
Dan Taiyu's eyes widened in shock.
Tsing Hui nodded.
A Class 4 sacred beast was naturally a one-sided slaughter of ordinary sea beasts. Even if the Xuanwu wasn't proficient in fighting, it still caused a bloody storm in the Jade Lake in a short few minutes.
Just as this one-sided slaughter was about to come to an end, a terrifying monster with six heads suddenly charged out of the lake. In an instant, the power of water and fire erupted on the surface of the Jade Lake, completely covering the Xuanwu.
"Six heads, the power of water and fire!"
Dan Taiyu cried out again. "The semi-divine beast I sensed is this six-headed snake monster that is about to transform! As long as it can devour the blood essence of the sacred beast Xuanwu, it will complete its transformation and evolve into a sacred beast, Jiuying! "
Tsing Hui nodded.
Although there were many Vicious Beasts in the inner sea, there were basically Sea Lords. There were even vague records of the number of Sea Lords in the inner sea. Some Sea Lords liked to stir up trouble, while others stood aloof from worldly affairs. It was said that the area of the sea where Dragonwhale Island was located belonged to a mild-mannered Xuanwu.
And to become a Sea Lord, even if it was in the inner sea, it usually had the strength of a Class 5 or even a Class 6 …
This Xuanwu cub only had the strength of a Class 4, so it obviously couldn't be that Sea Lord. It was very likely that it was of the same race as the Xuanwu sacred beast.
Thinking back to the semi-divine beast Jiuying chasing after the Xuanwu cub, as well as the continuous eruption of underwater volcanoes …
It was very likely that a great battle had broken out between the rulers of the inner sea, and one of them should be the ruler of this region, Xuanwu.
And in the end …
Xuanwu was defeated.
Jiuying, or rather, the Hydra that had transformed into a Jiuying, became the new ruler of this region of the sea.
"Wait! If the Jiuying that defeated the Xuanwu sacred beast became the true ruler of this region of the sea, why did it only use Class 3 Sea Beasts to attack Dragonwhale Island? And there was only one Class 4 Sea Beast … For this to happen, it's very likely that the Hydra and the Xuanwu sacred beast that were vying for the position of Sea Lord fought until both sides were injured … The entire region of the sea was without a leader, so it fell into chaos … In addition, the bloodline of the sacred beast Xuanwu was too attractive to the sea beasts, so those sea beasts who thought they had some ability wanted to take advantage of the chaos to devour the blood essence of the sacred beast Xuanwu, so they chased after the Xuanwu cub that fled to Dragonwhale Island … "
Tsing Hui's eyes lit up.
He reckoned that he had touched upon the truth of the matter.
At this time, the two giant beasts were still fighting fiercely in the small Jade Lake, raising terrifying waves.
Although the Xuanwu cub had the strength of a Class 4 Sea Beast, its technique was still inferior to that of the quasi-Holy Jiuying.
Moreover, that Jiuying that had yet to transform was clearly at the middle or high Class 4 Sea Beast. After a round of fighting, the Xuanwu cub was clearly not as strong as it wanted to be.
In the end, the quasi-Holy Jiuying gained the upper hand, and actually managed to severely injure Xuanwu, forcing Xuanwu to flee to the shore of the lake.
As soon as it reached the shore, the quasi-Holy Jiuying's six heads roared at the same time, and the power of water and fire surged out, causing the shore to ignite into a raging fire, which completely enveloped Xuanwu and burned it wantonly. If this continued, the slow Xuanwu, who had no chance of escaping, would very likely be killed by this quasi-Holy Jiuying.
"Tsing Hui … the Xuanwu Sacred Beast has ruled over our seas for decades, and has hardly caused any disasters. However, if we let the Jiuying become the master of this region, it will definitely break the peace of this region, and the people of this region will have no way of making a living. We should still help, lend the Xuanwu Sacred Beast a hand. Even if we can divert some of the six-headed basilisk's energy, it would be good enough to let Xuanwu recover some of its strength."
Dan Taiyu said worriedly.
Tsing Hui looked at the two Class 4 Sacred Beasts.
There was no need for Dan Taiyu to say anything, Tsing Hui did not intend to let these two Sacred Beasts go.
Although the six-headed snake monster hadn't completely transformed into the Saint Beast Nine-Headed Infant, it still wielded the power of water and fire. There would inevitably be a Flame Essence Core within its body. This sort of Flame Essence Core was even better than a high quality fire-attribute spirit stone. A fourth-order Flame Essence Core was enough to allow a spirit-grade true energy Immortal Second Stage powerhouse to directly push their true energy to perfection.
Even if Tsing Hui cultivated divine-grade True Qi, he could only absorb a part of the purest fire-attribute power from the Flame Essence Core. It was still enough for him to push his Golden Crow True Qi or Crimson Yang True Qi to a small realm.
Hearing Dan Taiyu's words, he nodded slightly, and said after a moment, "When the Xuanwu Sacred Beast no longer has any power to resist, I will make a move … However, I hope you can promise me one thing. No matter what happens later, you can't tell anyone."
Dan Taiyu was slightly startled, but she quickly nodded solemnly, "Okay, no matter what I see, I will not tell anyone."
In order to fight for the Jiuying's corpse, Tsing Hui had to reveal more tricks. Seeing Dan Taiyu nod, he immediately pulled out his Crimson Dragon Sword.
"This is …"
Dan Taiyu was the daughter of the City Lord of North Sea City, so she was very knowledgeable. When she saw the Crimson Dragon Sword in Tsing Hui's hand and the blazing heat emitted by the sword, she immediately covered her mouth in shock, "A … a Class 5 Divine Weapon!?"
"You should know what kind of trouble this Divine Weapon will cause if it is exposed."
Tsing Hui said.
Dan Taiyu quickly nodded, and then raised her hand as if she was swearing, "Tsing Hui, don't worry, I will not leak the news of this Class 5 Divine Weapon!"
Tsing Hui nodded.
Even if Dan Taiyu really did leak the news to the City Lord of North Sea City, it would not be a big deal. With his current strength, a mere City Lord of North Sea City was nothing to be afraid of, but Dan Taiyu's favor would be written off.
