"Boom—"
The fierce collision of power against power erupted with a dull blast. Waves churned without cease, suddenly exploding on both sides of the spirit ship. Walls of water over a hundred zhang high swept in with terrifying force. The ship's Defense Great Array activated instantly, a diamond-shaped barrier appearing to envelop the vessel.
"Crash!"
The waves from both sides rolled back like a small mountain crashing down. The entire ship shuddered, and the barrier flickered unsteadily.
"Whoosh."
Song Changsheng drifted backward and landed atop the mast, his robes fluttering wildly, every inch of him radiating effortless grace and freedom.
The seven-colored fish tail slammed heavily against the sea, stirring up raging waves. The ship was like a lone leaf in a storm, swaying violently. Its bow was even lifted by the waves, rearing high toward the heavens at nearly ninety degrees, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
"Still!" Song Changsheng lightly stamped his foot. The once-turbulent sea abruptly became calm, without a ripple or wave, and the ship that had been about to overturn settled steadily back onto the water.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Only after that exchange had ended did the people aboard finally realize what had happened.
Through their brief clash, Song Changsheng had already gained a clear understanding of the Demon King beneath the water. Fourth-Tier Mid Grade, equivalent to a Mid Golden Core Cultivator. It was not particularly strong, and he was confident he could fight it.
But he did not think that was necessary. He had not come here to fight the Sea Race to the death. That would only benefit the Brocade Banner.
In a clear voice, he called out, "Which Demon King has come to visit? Why not show yourself for a meeting?"
"Splash!"
