The Might of the War God

"What the hell is this? It looks like a shark, but it's more ferocious and moves in an orderly fashion, as if it's under someone's command... This isn't ordinary seafood, it's Demon Beast!"

Si Ming frowned, about to warn the others to be careful, when he suddenly heard a cry of alarm and a shout of anger. Turning around, he saw an incredibly large sea serpent leap out of the water and crash into the deck, splitting the passenger ship in two. Ying Zhou, Murong Wu, Xia Guanxue, and the other Shadow Hero Guard who were traveling with him all jumped off the ship.

Fortunately, all those participating in this mission were martial arts masters, so no one fell into the sea and struggled. Some simply walked on the waves, while others picked a plank to use as a small boat, swaying on the waves and displaying their superior demeanor.

"The Six Dui Stabilizes the Abyssal Marsh!"

Xia Guanxue leaped into the air, her Sword Intent soaring. The originally turbulent sea surface became still. With a flick of her longsword, she unleashed thousands of silver rays that poured down, striking the sea serpent's body and piercing its scales, causing wisps of blue blood to Shanghai.

If this move were to hit a person, it would be enough to cut them into a thousand pieces, turning them into a sieve full of holes. But for a sea serpent that is over a thousand meters long, this kind of injury is nothing at all.

At the same time, the group of Demon Beast that had devoured the giant octopus quickly set their sights on the group of people on the sea surface and immediately launched an attack. They flew out of the sea like swordfish, revealing their ferocious bodies, and even their bodies stirred up a gale.

"Universal Radiance Illuminates the World!"

With a single stroke, Ying Zhou unleashed a torrent of sword light that spread across the sea, cleaving any Demon Beast it touched in two. The blades rained down on the sea like a torrential downpour, quickly covering the surface with corpses.

However, before Ying Zhou could catch his breath, another series of rapid splashing sounds erupted, and a large number of even more Demon Beast leaped out and pounced on the group. Fortunately, none of the group members were weaklings, and they unleashed various powerful moves, Sword Qi energy, palm strikes, and fist strikes, forming a continuous wall that killed the Demon Beast in mid-air.

"It's no use, there are just too many of them."

Xia Guanxue descended from the sky, looking down at the beasts with a clear view. The number of these Demon Beast was in the tens of thousands. Even if he exhausted his true True Qi, he could not kill them all. Even if he and Ying Zhou could protect themselves with their strength, it was hard to say what would happen to the others.

"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just sit here and wait to die."

Ying Zhou brandished his demonic blade, its eerie light swirling around him, impenetrable even to ink, thus protecting himself and Murong Wu.

Xia Guanxue was about to suggest that Si Ming unleash his ultimate move while the rest of them found a safe place to hide. After all, he had seen Si Ming's "nuclear bomb" moves before and knew that these moves covered a wide area. They might not be effective against experts, but they were extremely effective at clearing out mobs.

However, just as he was about to speak, he saw the Demon Beast beneath the sea suddenly begin to fight each other. Those Demon Beast that approached them turned around and bit their own companions. After this group of rebellious Demon Beast was killed, the Demon Beast that took their place rebelled as well.

Xia Guanxue looked at Murong Wu: "Was this your doing?"

Murong Wu nodded and said, "I used 'Mind-Confounding Powder.' This poison only causes hallucinations in humans. In the case of Demon Beast that rely on instinct instead of thought, it will cause them to fall into a state of hallucination where they cannot distinguish friend from foe. However, I didn't bring much Mind-Confounding Powder, so it can only affect the surrounding area. And considering the current of the seawater, it can probably only last for half a minute at most."

"Half a minute is enough, let's hurry..."

Before he could finish speaking, the seawater suddenly exploded, and the giant sea serpent leaped out again, lunging at Murong Wu. It seemed to know who the culprit was who had caused its own people to kill each other.

"Watch out!" Danger!

Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue acted simultaneously. One bravely stood in front of the sea serpent with her sword, while the other grabbed Murong Wu and threw him backward.

Due to the vast difference in size, even with his Asura Divine Power, Ying Zhou could not withstand the impact of the giant sea serpent and was sent flying. However, he took the opportunity to strike it with his sword, slashing a deep wound on the serpent's head.

Xia Guanxue followed closely behind, becoming one with her sword, transforming into a sharp sword light that pierced straight into the wound. Although she was sent flying by the force of the impact, she successfully plunged the sword in her hand into the sea serpent's head.

The sea snake, writhing in excruciating pain, became even more frenzied, churning the waters and creating massive waves that made it impossible for outsiders to approach.

"Jump into the air quickly, prepare for the electric shock, I'm about to unleash my full power!"

Si Ming shouted loudly, unleashing his full power to activate his Level Eighteen Internal Cultivation. Instantly, the wind and clouds changed, and thunder roared across the sky.

Chapter 802 The Might of the War God

"The Divine Firmament Cleaves and Purifies the Azure Sky!"

When Si Ming unleashed the ultimate move of the "Mysterious Extreme Divine Firmament Art" for the first time, bolts of Yin lightning as thick as buckets rose from the sea, while Yang lightning of equal power descended from the sky, forming a cage that bound the universe and surrounded this sea area. The two converged in mid-air, Yin and Yang manifesting, surging and violent, as if the world was about to be destroyed in an instant.

Ying Zhou and the others had already leaped high into the air. The Shadow Hero Guard, who hadn't jumped very high to begin with, saw this terrifying scene and quickly struck downwards with their palms, using the recoil to flip themselves upwards.

Lightning Technique Method are always fleeting, known for their power and speed, but at this moment, the yin and yang lightning stretched out into a vast expanse, like a tidal wave, surging and crashing wave after wave, endless and relentless. The dazzling white light was like a spear thrown by a god, piercing into the sea.

After a long while, the commotion gradually subsided, the lightning dissipated, and the corpses of Demon Beast Shanghai, emitting a meaty aroma. After waiting for a while, a huge black shadow appeared beneath the surface of the sea, becoming clearer and clearer. Soon, the thousand-meter-long sea serpent also surfaced, pushing the remaining Demon Beast corpses to the sides.

"One use used up a quarter of my total True Qi; Technique Method are such a huge drain on energy."

As Si Ming sighed, he flicked his fingers, unleashing a sword Sword-Ray several meters long, which he slashed at the giant sea serpent's corpse. This was to prevent the creature from feigning death. Although its aura had dissipated, it was still better to be on the safe side. He had seen similar feigned death tactics used in movies and TV shows many times. Usually, the villain would use this opportunity to capture a hostage to blackmail the protagonist, and the protagonist would kill the villain while rescuing the hostage. However, in reality, the most likely scenario was that the villain would drag the hostage down with him. When someone is driven to the brink of despair, they have no reason left.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, "You're too young..."

Before the words were finished, the sea serpent suddenly opened its eyes, surged and stirred up a lot of waves, and at the same time, its huge body rose straight up into the sky, its mouth wide open, ready to bite Murong Wu.

"You beast!"

Si Ming reacted extremely quickly, turning his finger into a fist and smashing it into the opponent's head. The three divine powers erupted simultaneously. Even with the huge difference in size between the two, the sea serpent could not withstand Si Ming's punch. It felt as if it had been hit by a small mountain and fell heavily into the sea.

Ying Zhou was shocked to be humiliated before he could even finish speaking. His face turned extremely ugly, and he immediately raised his sword to the sky. Devil Qi surged and condensed into a ten-meter-long sword of energy.

"Asura Pardons Buddha!"

With a swift strike, the giant sea serpent, already dizzy from Si Ming's punch, had no chance to dodge and its head was severed in the blink of an eye. Blood gushed out like a volcanic eruption, staining the sea red.

The Great Snake, now headless, thrashed about unwillingly, stirring up huge waves, but in the end it had to accept the reality of its death, floating and sinking on the sea, drifting with the waves.

"Knowing how to play dead and deceive people, the Demon Race is definitely not to be out of the picture." Si Ming fell from the sky and stood on the sea serpent's corpse.

Xia Guanxue followed their fall, asking with a question, "Why would the Demon Race attack us? Is it a coincidence or are they acting under someone's orders?"

Si Ming pondered, "Both are possible, but there are also some illogical points. If it's just a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence. If we encountered one or two, that would be one thing, but to encounter a group of Demon Beast plus two powerful demons, if we can attribute that to coincidence, it would be underestimating human intelligence. But if we're talking about being instructed, how did they determine our location in the vast ocean?"

Ying Zhou said nonchalantly, "That's simple, of course there's a traitor tipping us off."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Shadow Hero Guard who were traveling with him immediately changed. No one likes the identity of a traitor, and if discovered, they will be severely punished. For a secret operations unit like the Shadow Hero Guard, it's even more serious; a mere suspicion is enough to be fatal, and they will definitely be subjected to a thorough investigation upon their return.

"It's not impossible."

Si Ming, seemingly oblivious to the change in others' emotions, hastily admitted to the guess, his gaze sweeping over the Shadow Hero Guard, and said, "How about this, we split up. Anyway, the ship is damaged, and we'll have to travel on foot from now on, so there's no point in staying together. Me, Ying Zhou, Murong Wu, and Xia Guanxue will go one group, and the rest of you will all go back."
