This merchant ship was able to hire two peak Martial Saint guards. It was already very strong. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Two surging sword Qi struck the waterspout and gave off a loud sound. Huge waves surged on the surface of the water. The merchant ship shook a few times before it slowly came to a stop.
Under the attack of the sword Qi, the two hundred meter tall waterspout weakened significantly in might and speed. However, it did not disappear completely. It continued to surge towards the merchant ship.
When Xiao Chen saw the waterspout getting closer, he quickly thought for a while. Finally, he decided to make a move. Firstly, he wanted to test the strength of his physical body. Secondly, he wanted to save himself.
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen pushed off the deck and created a purple arc as he headed for the waterspout.
Xiao Chen's bones crackled as he circulated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art. His body gave off a faint golden glow and a golden tiger image spun around him.
"Ferocious Tiger Leaving the Mountains!"
Xiao Chen shouted, it was like the roar of a tiger. His aura was suddenly raised to its peak state. The image of the ferocious tiger entered his fist and struck the towering waterspout.
"Bang!"
The incomparably surging waterspout was stopped for an instant by this punch. The huge rebound caused Xiao Chen to fly back ten meters.
"Again!"
Xiao Chen laughed loudly. The instant he landed on the water, he immediately bounced back up. Xiao Chen continued to punch the waterspout, sending punch after punch at it.
As Xiao Chen punched the waterspout, waves surged on the surrounding river. There was a loud rumbling sound as the river water surged in the air.
The torrential rain poured down continuously. Xiao Chen's clothes were completely soaked. However, he had a delighted expression on his face.
Before everyone's astonished gazes, the waterspout sent out by the Black Tuna Whale was stopped by Xiao Chen's fists. It was unable to move forward on the water surface and slowly disappeared.
The waterspout turned into rain that filled the sky and landed on the deck.
"Hu chi!
Hu chi! "When the surface of the river finally calmed down, countless strange fish leaped out. They flew towards Xiao Chen and opened their mouths. Their sharp teeth flickered with a cold light under the sunlight.
"Pa!"
Xiao Chen punched and the strange fish that crashed into him immediately turned into a pool of blood. It fell into the river, dead beyond death. The strange fish that the weapons of the cultivators could not easily kill was killed by Xiao Chen with one punch.
A cultivator on the deck said in astonishment, "What a strong physical body! To think I misjudged him. Just based on the strength of his physical body, he has the combat prowess of a peak Inferior Martial Saint."
"I wonder what his Martial Techniques and Essence cultivation are like. If they are as strong as him, in terms of pure combat prowess, a regular Superior Grade Martial Saint would not be a match for him. Only a peak Martial Saint would be a match for him."
"That is only a slight advantage for now. When he becomes a Martial King, if he does not give up on tempering his physical body, he will never have the chance to raise his cultivation."
The cultivators on the deck discussed the strength that Xiao Chen displayed. They did not expect Xiao Chen's physical body to be so strong.
The old men who sent out two strands of sword Qi jumped off the merchant ship. They each sent out another strand of sword Qi and cleaned up the strange fish in the air.
The surrounding strange fish no longer dared to come out of the water; they all fled far away.
Xiao Chen noticed that the sword Qi that the two old men sent out was very sharp. It was much more condensed than a regular sword Qi. It was clear that they had put in a lot of effort.
Xiao Chen had once heard of people who had no hope of advancing to Martial King. They would study their Martial Techniques and sword Qi to their limits to raise their combat prowess.
Although such people could not advance to Martial King, a regular Inferior Grade Martial King would not dare to let their guard down when they met them.
It looked like this was the case for these two old men. The might of their sword Qi had probably already reached the limits of what a Martial Saint could unleash.
"Little Brother, are you interested in killing this Black Tuna Whale with us? Our merchant association will reward you greatly," one of the old men suggested to Xiao Chen.
The other old man also said, "Actually, the strength of this Black Tuna Whale can barely be considered a peak Martial Saint. However, when it is underwater, its combat prowess will soar. That is why people call it a peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast."
Xiao Chen thought so as well. There was a huge difference in strength between a Rank 6 Spirit Beast and a Rank 6 Demonic Beast. This Black Tuna Whale might not be stronger than the Rank 6 Scarlet Demonic Snake that Xiao Chen dealt with in the past.
Back then, Xiao Chen could kill the Scarlet Demonic Snake with Yun Kexin and the others. Now that he was working with two peak Superior Grade Martial Saints, he might be able to kill this Black Tuna Whale.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Sure!"
When the two old men saw Xiao Chen nod in agreement, they immediately revealed gratified smiles on their faces. They had personally witnessed Xiao Chen's strength earlier.
With his help, they would be more confident in dealing with the Black Tuna Whale.
The three of them stepped on the water and executed their Movement Technique. They started to rush towards the Black Tuna Whale in front.
When they got closer, Xiao Chen could clearly see the appearance of the Black Tuna Whale. The part that floated above the water was more than a hundred meters long. There were rows of black bone spikes protruding from its back.
Before the three of them got close, a huge whirlpool appeared on the water below them. A huge suction instantly sucked the three of them to the bottom.
The force of the whirlpool was very strong. The three of them were unable to struggle at all. In an instant, they were sucked to the bottom and their bodies started to spin continuously.
Caught off guard, Xiao Chen drank a few mouthfuls of water and closed his eyes. He did his best to maintain his calm. The Essence in his body slowly circulated, allowing his body to adapt to the direction of the whirlpool.
The other two old men were much more experienced and knowledgeable than Xiao Chen. When they encountered such a situation, they did not panic at all. Xiao Chen circulated his Essence and breathed internally, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a dangerous aura. He opened his eyes and saw a huge mouth opening up.
The whirlpool was currently pulling the three of them towards the huge mouth. As long as the mouth closed up, the Black Tuna Whale would be able to swallow the three of them.
"Lone Peak Kill!"
Xiao Chen shouted in his heart and brandished his saber. An image of a mountain appeared above Xiao Chen's head. In the next instant, it merged into Xiao Chen's body.
Immediately, Xiao Chen's figure seemed to have turned into a mountain. It became extremely heavy and instantly broke through the pull of the whirlpool. His body quickly fell to the bottom of the river.
"Bang!"
When Xiao Chen's feet landed on the bottom of the river, there was an intense force spreading out in the water. There was a temporary emptiness around Xiao Chen; all the river water was pushed out.
The whirlpool that the Black Tuna Whale created was instantly destroyed. The two old men immediately broke free. They each sent out a sword Qi at the Black Tuna Whale.
The sharp sword Qi tore through the obstruction of the river water like an arrow. With a 'shua' sound, it left two wounds on the back of the Black Tuna Whale.
The sword Qi did not stop there. It pushed away the river water in front of it and shot towards the surface of the water.
The area one meter around Xiao Chen was now empty. He took a deep breath of air. Pushing off the ground, Xiao Chen entered the water again and swam towards the Black Tuna Whale.
If Xiao Chen continued to stand where he was, when the water surface closed up, the force that was pushing the river water would strike him several times over.
Even if Xiao Chen's physical body was strong, he would not be able to endure it.
On the calm surface of the river, pillars of water shot up into the sky from time to time. The huge merchant ship kept rocking on the surface of the water. The crowd couldn't see what was going on under the water. They could only watch the intense battle anxiously, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, blood appeared on the clear river water. The crowd exclaimed, "So much blood! I wonder who it belongs to."
"This Black Tuna Whale is not stupid. From the start, it dragged the three of them to the bottom of the river to fight. Fighting in the water is disadvantageous to the three of them!"
"Indeed, in terms of strength, three peak Martial Saints against a peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast should have a fifty-fifty chance of victory. However, now that they are underwater, their chances of victory are only forty percent."
"How about we go down and help? If they die, the Black Tuna Whale will definitely not let us off."
"Sure, you go down first. I'll go down soon."
"Why not you go down first? Call me down. Let's go down together."
The crowd argued about wanting to go down and help. However, after arguing for a long time, no one dared to go down. These people were only ordinary Inferior Grade Martial Saints. Many of them were only peak Martial Grand Masters. They did not have the courage to go down.
Most of them wanted both sides to injure each other. That would be the best result for them. Since they did not need to make a move and the danger was over, they were all watching.
Within the crowd, Liu Suifeng had an anxious expression. However, he was afraid that if he went down, he would bring trouble to Xiao Chen. He could only hesitate. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Suddenly, there were three loud sounds on the surface of the water. It was Xiao Chen and the other two breaking out of the water. A black dot in the distance was swimming forward quickly. Everywhere it passed, it left a trail of blood.
Although the three of them had injured the Black Tuna Whale, there was nothing they could do to stop it from escaping. They could only leave it at that.
"Many thanks for little friend's help," an old man said respectfully as he cupped his hands to Xiao Chen.
This was how the world of cultivators was. As long as one had the corresponding strength, regardless of age, the other party would treat you with respect. This person had already seen Xiao Chen's strength in the water earlier. His tone was much more respectful than before.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "It's just a small matter. I am just tempering my own Martial Techniques."
The other old man smiled, "Ha ha, little friend is too polite. No matter what, you have helped our merchant association greatly. The ship owner will thank you later."
After the two old men spoke, they leaped back onto the bow of the ship and informed the ship owner that the danger was over. They could set sail again.
When Xiao Chen saw the injured Black Tuna Whale fleeing far away, he felt it was unfortunate. Actually, if he wanted to give chase now, Xiao Chen was confident of catching up. However, if the other party sank to the bottom of the water, it would be troublesome for Xiao Chen to deal with it alone.
It would be a waste of time, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
