Boom!
Five Heavenly High Immortal-tier swords harnessed the might of the Gods' Sword Intent. In the blink of an eye, a hole that allowed him to pass through was torn open in the wall.
Zhang Xuan dived in.
As soon as he entered, the ground beneath him exploded, and a black crack appeared where he had been standing. Even the space around him had been destroyed.
"Hurry up!"
Knowing that he was only catching the other party off guard, Zhang Xuan knew that he wouldn't be able to escape once the other party realized what was going on. Thus, he drove his zhenqi furiously, turning the five swords into meat grinders. As soon as they came into contact with the rocks, they were immediately reduced to dust and mixed with the seawater.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Boom boom boom!
Along with the furious roar, the cliff below began shaking violently. Cracks began appearing all over the shark's lair, and it looked as if it would collapse at any moment.
From the looks of it, the shark had not expected Zhang Xuan to dive right through the cliff either.
Due to Zhang Xuan's small size, the hole that he had created was only big enough for him to pass through. On the other hand, the shark was much larger, so it would have to rely on its own strength to break through the hole.
Three breaths later, Zhang Xuan finally made his way out of the cliff and arrived at the entrance of the shark's lair.
Grabbing the swords, he stowed them into his storage ring before rushing toward the vegetation in the ravine.
Before he could get far, a deep rumble suddenly sounded from the cavern below, and it collapsed. Following closely behind him, the shark charged out of the murky seawater and bellowed furiously.
Boom!
The water gushed furiously toward him. The vegetation that Zhang Xuan had thought to be extremely resilient earlier was as fragile as a bubble before the water.
"Slash!"
Seeing that there was no way he could escape, Zhang Xuan's face turned livid. He whipped out the Tongshang Sword and slashed it down forcefully.
As soon as the powerful sword qi collided with the water, Zhang Xuan felt a numbing sensation on his palm. Even though he had managed to block the attack, he still felt a stifling sensation in his chest, and he was sent tumbling backward.
"How powerful …"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
This was his first time fighting a Semi-Divinity realm expert.
Previously, he had only managed to tame the Blackback Tortoise by borrowing the strength of Little Chick, but now that Little Chick had ended up in his tamed beast sack, he realized just how terrifying it was for him to face an expert of such caliber all by himself!
Even though he had achieved a breakthrough to Heavenly High Immortal realm and his physical body had reached Heavenly High Immortal realm, he was still unable to withstand a single blow from Zhang Xuan.
Controlling his tumbling body, Zhang Xuan continued to rush out of the crack.
Just a single Semi-Divinity was already so frightening, but now that all three of them had come out together with several hundred Heavenly High Immortals, he would surely die here if he did not escape.
"Trying to escape after stealing something? How can there be such a good thing in the world!"
Hearing another thunderous rumble, Zhang Xuan raised his head to take a look, only to see a massive mouth in front of him. Countless sharp teeth gleamed coldly, as if they were weapons.
The two sharks on the throne had actually left the cave at an even faster speed, blocking his escape route!
As soon as the voice ended, an even greater torrent of water gushed down from above.
Not daring to hold back anymore, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the Semi-Divinity metal chains he had tamed earlier stacked together to form a massive shield.
A powerful explosion reverberated in the air, reducing the surrounding vegetation and rocks to dust.
Under the immense impact, Zhang Xuan's arms went numb, and he found himself unable to lift them up.
Even though the Semi-Divinity artifact had managed to block the attacks of the sharks, it had still jolted his internal organs, leaving him severely injured.
"What kind of sin have I committed?"
Zhang Xuan was on the verge of tears.
All he had wanted to do was to scout the area so as to not alarm the other party, and that was exactly what he had done. Who could have thought that Little Chick would be so unreliable?
If it had been in the past, it would have been unreliable. At the very least, it would have been able to solve the problem.
But now, you are looking for a place to sleep after consuming the god blood, and I am being pursued by three Semi-Divinity realm experts …
What a f * cking dog feeling!
"A Semi-Divinity artifact?" Upon seeing the shield that Zhang Xuan had taken out, the shark's eyes lit up in excitement. "Exchanging a droplet of god blood for an artifact … It's truly worth it!"
No matter how powerful the god blood was, it would not make much of a difference if one were to absorb a droplet of it after achieving a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm.
However, if one could assimilate a Semi-Divinity artifact, one's fighting prowess would surely be boosted twofold.
Boom boom boom!
The three Semi-Divinity realm beasts made a move simultaneously, and a torrent of water gushed forth from three different directions.
"Blackback Tortoise, take me away!"
Zhang Xuan's body went limp from the impact, and he felt as if he was on the verge of collapsing. With a thought, he summoned the Blackback Tortoise.
Hu!
In an instant, the Blackback Tortoise grew to a size of over a hundred meters, and it charged toward the surface with Zhang Xuan in tow.
Its speed was much faster than Zhang Xuan's, but the three sharks were even faster. Their attacks were relentless, and it felt as if they were going to crush the ocean beneath them.
"Old Tortoise, I didn't think that you would choose to submit to a human instead. You really are the scum of the ocean!"
"It's one thing for you to submit to a human, but you are just a Heavenly High Immortal … Why are you getting weaker and weaker?"
"Since you are already here, don't even think about leaving. Die here together with your new master!"
…
Cold sneers echoed in the surroundings. As old foes, seeing that the Blackback Tortoise had actually acknowledged them as its master, the three sharks began mocking them.
"Master, we might not be able to get out of here …"
The Blackback Tortoise sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan. Its speed had plummeted, and it was unable to even escape from the crevice at the bottom of the ocean.
The reason it had been able to get away previously was because it had turned around and fled the moment it was attacked. On top of that, the other party did not seem to have any intention of killing it.
But now, its new master had snatched away the god blood and razed its nest to the ground.
How could it possibly get away from the Blackback Tortoise?
"We won't be able to get away …"
On the back of the Blackback Tortoise, Zhang Xuan raised his head and saw that the Heavenly High Immortal realm beasts in the hall had already sealed off all possible escape routes.
In other words, no matter which route they took, they would be attacked, and they would eventually be surrounded by the three sharks.
"What should we do?"
The Blackback Tortoise was on the verge of tears.
It had tried to persuade its master not to head over, but the latter just wouldn't listen to it.
Was it really going to die here after going through so much trouble to escape from the jaws of a tiger?
"Since there's no way out, let's just fight!"
Zhang Xuan said as he stood up from the back of the Blackback Tortoise.
Even though the other party was three Semi-Divinity realm experts, he had a Semi-Divinity artifact, a Semi-Divinity tamed beast, a clone, and many Soulless Metal Humanoids. It wouldn't be easy for the three sharks to make them stay!
"Fight?"
The Blackback Tortoise's body trembled in agitation. "How? I can only stop one of them at the very most … "
"You stop one of them while I try to kill the other one. As long as one of them dies, they will probably start to feel apprehensive."
Zhang Xuan.
Even though the three sharks were in an alliance, he didn't believe that there was any true friendship between them. If one of them died, the remaining two would surely feel apprehensive, and the Heavenly High Immortal realm beasts would also feel apprehensive.
By then, he would have a chance to escape!
In any case, his goal was to leave this place, not to kill all of them.
"Alright then!"
Gritting its teeth, the Blackback Tortoise retracted its head and limbs back into its shell before charging toward one of the sharks.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan morphed the shield back into a metal chain, and he chased after it.
"I'll be your opponent!"
Not too far away, a shark suddenly charged over and swept its massive tail.
Zhang Xuan was sent flying, and he crashed heavily into the wall of the ravine, creating a massive depression.
"Humph!"
Wiping away the blood trickling down the corner of his lips, Zhang Xuan willed a Soulless Metal Humanoid to fly out and charge toward the shark.
"You have a helper?"
The shark was taken aback. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Soulless Metal Humanoid into its stomach. "This isn't a helper but food!"
"Humph!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
Boom!
The Soulless Metal Humanoid that was swallowed into the shark's stomach immediately exploded.
This was the reason why he had controlled the Soulless Metal Humanoid to allow the shark to consume it.
"Pu!"
Under the powerful explosion, the shark spurted a mouthful of blood and lost one of its sharp teeth.
"How dare you hurt me? I'll kill you!"
Feeling the searing pain in its body, the shark was on the verge of going insane.
It had never suffered such severe injuries ever since it reached the Semi-Divinity realm!
Sou!
It charged straight for Zhang Xuan with its massive mouth wide open, intending to swallow the fellow before it.
"You're still fine?"
Zhang Xuan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
The explosion of a Heavenly High Immortal realm Soulless Metal Humanoid could kill any Heavenly High Immortal within a radius of a hundred meters. Yet, this fellow had only spurted a mouthful of blood and lost a tooth … Were Semi-Divinity realm cultivators really that powerful?
The metal chains morphed into a massive shield to block the shark's bite. Just as Zhang Xuan was about to toss another Soulless Metal Humanoid into the shark's mouth, the other shark suddenly appeared behind him.
"I guess I'll have to use my clone then …"
Knowing that he would be caught in a crossfire if the shark were to attack him, and considering how unreliable Little Chick was, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth. He was just about to bring out his clone and Vicious to fend off the shark when the shark suddenly halted in its tracks. A deafening roar reverberated across the entire sea.
"Everyone, stop!"
Hong long!
It was none other than the one seated on the first throne, the strongest of the three sharks.
Hearing the bellow, the shark that was intending to devour Zhang Xuan halted in its tracks. The shark that was fighting with the Blackback Tortoise also halted in midair.
"Boss, that human barged in here and stole the god blood! He's an unforgivable sin! We have to kill him!"
The shark that had lost a tooth said furiously.
"Boss, why must we stop? They might have many means up their sleeves, but as long as we work together, we should still be able to kill them!"
The second shark exclaimed.
"Shut up!"
The shark that had been addressed as the boss bellowed furiously, interrupting the shouts of its two underlings. It turned its gaze toward Zhang Xuan once more, not daring to miss out on anything.
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes as he continued driving his zhenqi, fearing that the shark would launch a sneak attack on him.
Just as he was at a loss as to what to do, the massive shark suddenly kneeled down and kowtowed to him.
"Paying respects to Master!"
