Seeing this scene, Xiao Niao, who was about to attack, as well as the many cultivators of the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Mansion, were all stunned.
Although the aura of the Zither Skate was only at the level of a seventh level Heavenly Marquis, its true strength was probably not weaker than an ordinary eighth level Heavenly Marquis. A ninth level Heavenly Marquis was only a sixth level Heavenly Marquis. In a head-on clash, it was not at a disadvantage at all, and even faintly had the upper hand … Just where did these nine spirits come from?
"Whooosh." The Zither Skate let out a wild roar, and the two fins wrapped around its body unfurled. After a few quick flaps, it stabilized its body on the surface of the sea. Above its head, the two huge eyes blinked a few times, and an extremely human-like shock and disbelief appeared.
"Again!"
The nine spirits swooped down from the sky, rapidly approaching the Zither Skate. It was as if a towering mountain had descended from the nine heavens, as if it could crush any obstacle into dust. That thunderous aura filled the air, and even the people in the distance felt an enormous pressure.
The Zither Skate seemed to be somewhat angry, but it did not continue to tangle with the nine spirits. With a wave of its tail, Pang Shuo's body fell into the sea, and was instantly covered by the seawater.
"Boom!"
The terrifying Strength Qi pressed down on the surface of the sea, and the waves crazily rolled in all directions. However, there was no trace of the Zither Skate in the sea.
"Ga ji!"
The thunderous cry revealed a trace of dissatisfaction. The nine spirits swept across the surface of the sea and charged upwards. Pang Shuo's body rapidly shrank, first turning into a nine-colored bird, then returning to the appearance of a little girl in a colorful dress. There was a hint of depression on her exquisite little face, "This Zither Skate is too weak. It only took a few hits before it ran away. There's also the female Zither Skate hiding at the bottom of the sea, but it hasn't appeared yet."
"Isn't it better to run away?"
Xiao Niao's delicate body moved slightly and appeared beside the nine spirits. She was already completely at ease, and when she heard the nine spirits' words, she couldn't help but laugh involuntarily, "Heavenly Beasts like the Zither Skates, if you can avoid killing them, it's best not to. If you kill one, it's very likely that you'll attract four, or even more. Being chased by the Zither Skates in the Demonic Zither Sea will not be easy!"
Unless it was absolutely necessary, very few cultivators who entered the Demonic Zither Sea would deliberately kill the Zither Skates.
The Zither Skates were different from other Heavenly Beasts. When they attacked, one would attack first, while the other would hide under the sea. If one was killed, the other would immediately flee far away, and then attract more Zither Skates.
Unless he could kill both Zither Rays at the same time.
Once a Zither Skate successfully escapes, it will definitely be hunted down. After that, it will face a situation where it will not rest until the day it rushes out of the Demonic Zither Sea alive.
"I just wanted to move around, I didn't want to kill it!" Jiu Ling chuckled. "Since it escaped, then forget it. There's still so much time left, there will definitely be other Zither Skates appearing!"
"…"
The group continued forward.
Although the Zither Skate had already escaped, no one had completely let down their guard. After all, no one knew if it was hiding nearby or if it had really gone far away.
Time flew by, and night came. Unknowingly, it was already the evening of the third day after entering the "Primal Beginning Immortal Domain".
Ever since the Zither Skate left, the group did not encounter any more attacks from the Heavenly Beasts. The entire journey was calm and peaceful, but they had seen a battle from afar yesterday. On one side of the battle were two Zither Skates, and on the other side were four cultivators that looked somewhat familiar. They had appeared in the Immortal Ascension Hall before.
By the time they discovered it, the battle had already come to an end. The two Zither Skates were riddled with wounds, but they were still unafraid of death. The four cultivators had the upper hand.
After noticing the existence of Xiao Nian Die, Nine Spirits and the others, the four of them immediately abandoned the two Zither Skates and desperately fled into the distance. It was obvious that they were afraid of being caught by Xiao Nian Die and the others. Xiao Nian Die and the others naturally did not have the leisure to do so, so they did not change their direction and continued to fly forward.
To them, the most important thing right now was to quickly leave the Demonic Zither Sea and reach the land. If they encountered them again, then it wouldn't be too late to settle the score.
As the sky darkened, everyone slowed down a little.
Under the curtain of night, a huge wave suddenly soared into the sky without any warning. It was actually a thousand meters tall, blocking everyone's path.
"Be careful!"
"Zither Skate!"
"..."
Xiao Nian Die's eyes narrowed, the nine spirits' eyes lit up, and the surrounding people all became alert.
It was indeed a Zither Skate, and its body was even larger than the one they had encountered before. It was at least two thousand meters long, and it silently emerged from the waves. Its dark body seemed to have merged with the surrounding night.
However, the aura that faintly seeped out from its body was extremely terrifying. Compared to the Zither Skate from before, it was countless times stronger.
"Peak of the ninth level of the Sky Marquis?"
Xiao Nian Die immediately determined the strength of the Zither Skate's aura and couldn't help but exclaim. Her expression had already become incomparably solemn, and even the nine spirits' expressions changed slightly. As for the surrounding cultivators, they couldn't help but reveal an unconcealable look of shock between their brows.
The aura of the Zither Skate was comparable to that of a peak ninth level Heaven Marquis, but that didn't mean that it only had that much strength.
Under normal circumstances, such a marquis would be able to contend against many peak ninth level Heaven Marquis. Although there were three ninth level Heaven Marquis amongst the dozens of people, only Xiao Nian Die was a peak ninth level Heaven Marquis. Even if they were to fight to the death, they would only be able to barely defend against this Zither Skate that had suddenly appeared.
The Zither Skates had always moved in pairs. With the appearance of this black male Zither Skate, there should be a white female Zither Skate at the bottom of the sea, and its strength would not be weaker than this male Zither Skate.
This time, it was truly dangerous!
Almost at the same time as she finished speaking, Xiao Nian Die gave the nine spirits a meaningful glance.
The nine spirits understood and immediately narrowed their eyes. At the same time, the surrounding people began to move as fast as they could, and very quickly, they began to surround them in circles. The strongest cultivators stayed outside, the weaker cultivators stayed inside, and the weakest cultivators stayed in the middle.
"Whooosh."
The Zither Skate did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, it quietly floated in the air, staring straight at Xiao Nian Die, Nine Spirits, and the others. Its two large, dark green eyes were filled with a cold intent, causing one's heart to tremble uncontrollably.
"Whooosh, whooosh …"
Two bird cries pierced through the surface of the sea and soared into the sky. They were melodious and clear, as if they were responding to the Zither Skate.
