Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor
Chapter 621 621, Thousand Demon Palace Pursuit
"Elder Qing, be careful!"
Chu Ming nodded heavily. In such a battle, staying behind would only drag down the Cyan Bird King. With the Cyan Bird King's strength, even if the fight couldn't be won, escaping would be easy. To kill the Cyan Bird King, a mid-tier King Tier overlord sea beast would need to be deployed.
Crash!
The turbulent sea surface became even more violent. Suddenly, tens of thousands of shadows emerged from beneath the water. The leading sea beast was about a thousand meters long, with pointed maw, and had eight whiskers each a hundred meters long. It had strong limbs covered in gray scales, and its eyes were a light yellow.
Low Level King Tier Overlord Sea Beast, Iron Fork Dragon Beard!
Behind Iron Fork Dragon Beard were countless sea beasts, each with a ferocious appearance, emanating overwhelming auras, pressing in on Chu Ming and the Cyan Bird King like a dark cloud.
"Why does Elder Long of the Thousand Demon Palace block our way?"
Staring at Iron Fork Dragon Beard, a flicker of apprehension flashed in the Cyan Bird King's eyes. Iron Fork Dragon Beard was a Low Level King Tier overlord sea beast, its combat power slightly superior. However, if the Cyan Bird King intended to leave, Iron Fork Dragon Beard wouldn't be able to stop her.
Thousand Demon Palace was a powerful force in the North Sea, its members sea beasts from the bottom of the North Sea, each exceedingly strong. Even the Beiling Alliance had to yield before them.
"The Palace Master has ordered a complete lockdown of the North Sea. Any human from the inland found here is to be killed on sight!"
Iron Fork Dragon Beard declared fiercely, a murderous intent in its eyes. The iron fork in its hand transformed into a streak of light, quickly striking towards the Cyan Bird King, the sharp fork instantly shattering the space.
Woosh!
The Cyan Bird King wielded a thick green vine, fiercely striking towards Iron Fork Dragon Beard's fork.
Boom boom boom...
The sounds of intense clashes echoed continuously. In just a moment, the spiritual power within the Cyan Bird King's body became immensely chaotic, and her body was repeatedly thrown back by the strikes.
"You must leave now!"
In the midst of the battle, the Cyan Bird King urged Chu Ming.
"Be careful!"
Chu Ming responded, and instantly, the 108 acupoints in his body began to circulate madly, transforming into a beam of sword light, shooting towards the sky with a faint glimmer at the tail end.
"Kill him!"
Iron Fork Dragon Beard commanded the sea beasts behind him.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Tens of thousands of sea beasts submerged Chu Ming in an instant, surrounding him almost immediately.
Swish!
"Myriad Swords Return to the Root!"
The Blood Dome Sword in Chu Ming's hand seemed to bloom with countless rays of light. In an instant, an innumerable number of terrifying sword auras tore towards the surrounding sea beasts.
Puff puff puff...
With one stroke, over twenty sea beasts were pierced, their fragmented bodies and blood falling from the sky, instantly dyeing the entire sea red with blood.
Boom!
A High Tier Tier Nine sea beast, a Spike Fish Shark, leapt from the surface, piercing through space, lunging at Chu Ming with a fishy smell permeating the air.
This attack was enough to bite a Seventh Layer Realm of Transcendence expert into two halves.
Bang!
Chu Ming instantly punched, the blazing Fire Essence like a small sun smashing towards the Spike Fish Shark. Space shattered inch by inch, gray currents surged wildly, black cracks spread everywhere, and the world fell silent.
Poof!
Blood splattered, Chu Ming's punch directly turned the Spike Fish Shark into a bloody mist, its innards falling into the sea below, immediately swallowed by the surging waters.
Despite this, there were still tens of thousands of sea beasts madly rushing at Chu Ming, their savage killing intent enveloping the entire space.
Chu Ming attacked while escaping, and after a stick of incense's time, he had distanced himself from the Cyan Bird King by a hundred miles. Even so, he could still clearly feel the powerful shockwaves from the Cyan Bird King and Iron Fork Dragon Beard's clashes.
Gurgling!
Countless bubbles suddenly rose from the sea, each bubble the size of a human body, shimmering like glass. Chu Ming's expression slightly changed as he sensed a terrifying binding force from these bubbles. Even he wouldn't be able to escape from them within a few breaths.
More importantly, he felt a cold killing intent lock onto him. This killing intent was akin to a cold winter wind, seeping through every pore, making it hard for him to breathe.
"A Tier Nine Top Tier sea beast?"
Chu Ming silently mused, his vigilance instantly heightened to the maximum.
Bang!
At this moment, a column of water surged from the bottom of the sea, ten meters in diameter, reaching towards the sky. A hundred-meter-long Ghost-faced Sea Beast emerged from beneath the surface.
Tier Nine Top Tier Sea Beast—Whale-devouring Ghost Beast!
The Whale-devouring Ghost Beast, though relatively weak among Tier Nine Top Tier sea beasts, possessed an extremely terrifying talent—the power to immobilize space. Once a strong person was trapped in a bubble, they would be as helpless as fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
Upon its appearance, the other sea beasts fled madly as if encountering something horrific.
Gurgle...
A strange bubbling sound followed, and immediately, a dozen bubbles were expelled from the nostrils of the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast, floating towards Chu Ming.
"Burial Sword!"
Chu Ming's expression grew somber; tiny bloody flowers drifted in the sky as his Blood Dome Sword sliced through the air, striking at the bubbles.
Bang!
The bubbles slightly trembled, their speed momentarily slowed, yet they continued to drift towards Chu Ming.
Bang!
Chu Ming's body flashed instantly, appearing a thousand meters away, crazily fleeing into the distance. Even though the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast was relatively weak amongst the Tier Nine Top Tier sea beasts, it was still beyond Chu Ming's capabilities to confront.
Behind Chu Ming, the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast matched his pace, transforming into a shadow that relentlessly followed. Its mouth incessantly spat out terrifying water columns, bombarding Chu Ming. A whirlpool of water behind him hindered his speed, reducing it noticeably.
"Damn humans, die!"
The Whale-devouring Ghost Beast's thunderous voice boomed, and spiritual power in the heavens and earth swirled madly, forming a hundred-meter-wide vortex. Then, a five-colored bubble shot towards Chu Ming.
From this five-colored bubble, Chu Ming felt the power of binding, as well as the power of space. Evidently, as the bubble approached Chu Ming, it suddenly transformed into a stream of light, merging with the space.
"Not good!"
A chill surged from his feet to his head, Chu Ming's face turned cold, ready to escape through spatial shift, but it was too late. The five-colored bubble appeared suddenly before him, enveloping him.
Pop!
Inside the five-colored bubble, Chu Ming's face darkened. Within this bubble, he couldn't perform spatial shifts at all, making him a sitting duck.
Bang!
The void trembled as a black, scaly, mighty tail lashed out from the space, striking towards Chu Ming ferociously.
Crack!
"Pff..."
The five-colored bubble shattered, blood sprayed, and Chu Ming's body was flung backward, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood mid-air.
