The Serpent-transformation Beast let out piercing shrieks. As though sensing its fury, the ice walls on all sides shattered into countless fragments, turning into splashes that crashed onto the sea.
The Serpent-transformation Beast raised its head and flew into the sky. Only after vanishing into the high clouds did it bend down to survey the surrounding waters, searching desperately for the human cultivator's figure.
But the sea was perfectly calm, and the human cultivator had long since vanished without a trace.
The Serpent-transformation Beast's fury would not abate. Even the clouds around it seemed to sense its killing intent, trembling without end.
It had memorized that human cultivator's aura. The next time they met, it would never be so careless again!
While the Serpent-transformation Beast searched, Xu Chunniang activated the Teleportation Talisman and was sent dozens of miles away.
Having temporarily escaped danger, she did not lower her guard. Instead, she slipped into the sea, concealing her divine sense and aura as she continually swam southward beneath the waves.
Only after swimming several thousand miles south, coming upon a deserted island, and confirming that the surroundings were safe did she finally stop.
Only after forcing herself to set up an array with her last breath did Xu Chunniang relax and inspect the injuries covering her body.
She had been struck twice by the Serpent-transformation Beast's demonic body. The second blow in particular had inflicted extremely grave injuries, damaging her bones, tendons, and internal organs.
A Nascent Soul Realm great demon truly was formidable. The great demons of the West Sea were especially far stronger than the sea beasts from the war between the two races.
No wonder everyone said that even Nascent Soul Cultivators who dreamed of crossing the West Sea would face nine deaths for every chance of survival.
