CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 196 IMMORTAL DAO ASPIRATION_3

"Let’s go out as well!"

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi followed the others to the deck.

Looking into the sea from the ship’s side, they saw groups of "Iron Shark Demons" constantly shuttling back and forth, creating waves and forming various arrays that launched fierce attacks on the fleet in batches.

These "Iron Shark Demons" were enormous, the smallest being ten zhang, with the largest reaching a size of a hundred zhang.

The heads of the "Iron Shark Demons" were incredibly hard, comparable to Divine Iron.

In their collision with the "Sea Wave Ships," they did not lose any ground. Instead, they rotated quickly in the water, forming spiraling currents.

The spiraling currents churned the seawater, forming drill bits.

The drill bits took shape in the water and were propelled by the demonic power of the "Iron Shark Demons," forcefully striking the "Sea Wave Ships," causing the ships to sway violently.

If not for the array and restriction protection on the "Sea Wave Ships," such attacks would have already punched numerous holes in the ships.

"These ’Iron Shark Demons’ live in groups, preying on sea beasts and passing cultivators for sustenance, with formidable strength. Brother Li, Madam Li, be careful."

At some point, the annoying guy, Tingtao Gongzi, had appeared beside Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.

"Yes, we will be careful!"

Li Yunjing responded, drawing a top-grade magical artifact flying sword and continuously activating the Sword Control Technique.

The flying sword, controlled by Li Yunjing, hovered in the air and relentlessly slashed sword qi towards the "Iron Shark Demons" in the sea.

Yu Yunyi mimicked his actions, also retrieving a top-grade magical artifact flying sword and employing the Sword Control Technique.

Their dual sword attack was quite powerful, continuously killing the "Iron Shark Demons." This scene caused Tingtao Gongzi’s eyes to narrow with caution.

Tingtao Gongzi could never imagine the limits of the geniuses from the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

The insignificant power now displayed by Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi had already astonished him.

At this time, other loose cultivators joined the counterattack!

The "Sea Wave Ship" was their hope for returning; it couldn’t be destroyed.

Otherwise, could they rely on small boats to navigate the deep ocean?

This was the deep ocean; relying on small boats, how long would it take to escape the dangerous sea?

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

On the four warships, huge bed crossbows were pushed out one by one, repeatedly firing demon-slaying arrows at the sea beasts.

Additionally, countless cultivators on both sides of the ship’s rails simultaneously controlled their magical artifacts, continuously attacking the beasts on the left and right sides of the ship.

In no time, the sea surface was already crimson.

The intense smell of blood was incredibly pungent.

Even cultivators felt nauseated upon smelling it.

The "Iron Shark Demons" finally couldn’t withstand the massive losses.

The leading giant "Iron Shark Demon" roared, and the other "Iron Shark Demons" reluctantly withdrew from the "Sea Wave Ship’s" range, starting to distance themselves from the powerful fleet.

The "Haitao Sect" people did not pursue them. After repelling the "Iron Shark Demons," the fleet continued to advance deeper into the "Quirky Rock Sea Region" while counting their losses.

This time, the sea beast ambush caused minimal losses.

On the first, second, and third warships, only a few dozen people were lost.

The fourth warship, which carried many cultivators around the Qi Cultivation Realm Sixth Layer, suffered slightly larger losses, with over a hundred casualties.

Such losses did not harm the massive fleet.

The "Haitao Sect" people didn’t care either.

After all, most of the dead were loose cultivators.

The remaining loose cultivators didn’t care either; those who fell to mere "Iron Shark Demons" were not worth mourning.

During this period, some minor incidents also occurred.

There was no hope for cultivators who fell into the sea.

As for those who died on the ship, their belongings were stripped clean by other cultivators, leaving nothing behind.

Watching the looted bodies, Yu Yunyi couldn’t help but close her eyes, while Li Yunjing shook his head in resignation and led Yu Yunyi back to the cabin.

What difference was there between the relationships among these loose cultivators and those among wild beasts in nature?

In the face of resources, they were like wolves, not caring about the deceased who had just fought alongside them.

This behavior deeply disgusted Li Yunjing.

These were not what he considered cultivators; they were not even worthy of cultivating the Immortal Dao.

In a prestigious sect like the Shenxiao Dao Sect, when a companion fell, their belongings were collected and handed to the sect, which then delivered them to the deceased’s family.

If there were no family, the belongings would be given to the disciple.

If the disciple had no heirs, the assets would become the sect’s property, distributed on the deceased’s peak, rewarding future meritorious cultivators.

Everything was orderly, without the disgusting behavior of loose cultivators fighting over relics like wild beasts.

After mingling with loose cultivators, small clans, and small sects for a while, Li Yunjing realized the beauty of a juggernaut sect like the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

The problems arising from its sheer size seemed insignificant in comparison.

"How are you feeling?"

Back in the cabin, seeing Yu Yunyi looking unwell, Li Yunjing asked softly.

"I’m okay! It’s just... sigh..."

Yu Yunyi shook her head, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin.

"This is the chaos of the Immortal Cultivation Realm! If one day, I become the Immortal Dao Venerable, I will reestablish the laws of heaven and earth, using merit and virtue to judge cultivators! The good will become immortals, the evil will be cast into the Nine Netherworld, punished by the eighteen levels of hell!"

Li Yunjing’s face did not look good either. He spoke in a deep voice.

At this moment, Li Yunjing’s gaze was determined, as if he had found his life’s goal.
