Fierce Battle in the Ruthless Sea

Jiang Ming looked towards the Black Water Mysterious Snake, tens of feet tall, in the Ruthless Sea. Its enormous snake pupils stared at him coldly like lanterns. It seemed surprised to see a living creature after so many years, and for a moment, it stood there motionless. Its cold gaze, however, was filled with ferocity as it seemed to be pondering something.

Jiang Ming had previously read "Records of Gods and Demons," which stated: "...eats immortal medicine and does not die, lives for over ten thousand years."

Now it seemed that even if it wasn't quite that powerful, it couldn't be far off. Eating it would be incredibly nourishing, and his cultivation would skyrocket! If he could kill this snake and bring it back to Da Zhu Peak of Qingyun Sect in sections, his Eldest Brother and the others would definitely see a significant increase in their own aptitudes and foundations, and their cultivation would surge instantly.

Countless predecessors had proven that this was indeed a shortcut, such as Rascal Shi Hao, and Hero Guo. More importantly, his senior brothers wouldn't be defeated in the first round of the Seven Peaks Tournament a few years from now. At that time, he would definitely add another achievement to Qingyun's record of merits, bringing him one step closer to consulting the nameless ancient scrolls!

Seeing the Black Water Mysterious Snake standing there, its ferocious eyes fixed on him, Jiang Ming immediately took out the Soaring Frost Sword, preparing to draw it and launch an attack.

At this moment, the Black Water Mysterious Snake saw Jiang Ming take out a weapon, and its eyes flashed with green light. It let out an earth-shattering roar, clearly enraged by Jiang Ming's actions. The tiny insect dared to make a move.

In an instant, the snake's body moved in the sea. It swept its massive tail, instantly creating a wave several feet high and tens of feet wide, crashing down on Jiang Ming. Within the wave, the black snake tail was mixed in, carrying boundless Protective Energy as it charged towards Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming saw that the Black Water Mysterious Snake intended to sweep him unconscious with its massive tail in the giant wave, and then drown him with the overwhelming sea.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming didn't panic. He immediately erected a Protective Energy shield around his body, held the Soaring Frost Sword, and rapidly circulated the Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art within him, unleashing a Wrath of the Thunder God strike towards the source of the giant wave—the Black Water Mysterious Snake's tail.

A Wrath of the Thunder God phantom tens of feet tall appeared behind Jiang Ming. The phantom held a divine sword, and Jiang Ming pointed the Soaring Frost Sword towards the sky. Immediately, strange thunderclouds gathered in the sky. The divine sword in the phantom's hand continuously absorbed the thunderclouds that suddenly appeared in the sky, transforming them into the power of lightning. Lightning flashed continuously on Jiang Ming's Soaring Frost Sword, and in an instant, the lightning power was fully condensed. Jiang Ming slashed down at the snake's tail, which was rapidly approaching and creating a wave tens of feet high.

The sounds of "Bang... Awoo..." intertwined continuously, splitting the sea and dividing the river. The giant wave was directly cut in half by the phantom. The waves crashed onto both sides of the coast, causing sand and stones to splash and water to spray, creating a tremendous spectacle.

The power of lightning surged directly towards the Black Water Mysterious Snake along the seawater. The seawater was covered in electric light, and a series of "crackling" sounds continuously spread around. Seeing this, the black snake wanted to dodge, but the speed of the electric light was so fast that it arrived in an instant. For a moment, the Ruthless Sea seemed to become a world of electricity, with dazzling and brilliant light. Unfortunately, at this time, there was only the snake and the human engaged in battle. As the saying goes: beautiful scenery exists, but no one appreciates it.

Suddenly, the sound coming from the electric sea became clearer and clearer, and that sound was clearly the painful cry of the black snake after Jiang Ming's attack hit it. The black snake was struck by lightning and was shocked. Its snake body swayed rapidly, creating huge waves.

Jiang Ming stood on the shore, looking into the distance. It seemed that a plume of steam was rising from the sea. A look of pity flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes, but he muttered, "This snake is probably going to be electrocuted. That would be a pity. Overcooked snake doesn't taste good, does it? This isn't Twice-Cooked Pork... Huh! Twice-Cooked Snake Meat?"

The more Jiang Ming thought about it, the more excited he became. He thought: Just make it into Twice-Cooked Snake Meat. Snake meat is still meat! I just don't know what it will taste like? It's a pity that Zhang Xiao Fan, that great chef, isn't by my side... What a pity... What a pity... Such a thick snake, if it's all electrocuted, it won't be easy to preserve! What a waste!

Strange thoughts flashed through Jiang Ming's mind. He was about to go forward to see if the Black Water Mysterious Snake was cooked when suddenly the rolling Black Water Mysterious Snake in the distance stopped thrashing and gradually sank into the water.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Ming's expression became a little flustered. Lacking experience in fighting spirit beasts, his pace quickened a lot, and he hurriedly said, "It's over, it's over, this snake has been electrocuted and is about to sink to the bottom of the sea..."

When Jiang Ming walked on the waves to the location where the Black Water Mysterious Snake sank to the bottom of the sea, he quickly used his divine sense to enter the sea to investigate, but after searching again and again, it was gone...

It turned out that the Black Water Mysterious Snake saw that Jiang Ming was so powerful, and a casual blow had caused him so much damage, leaving him half-crippled. If he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would be killed by the humanoid creature. Thinking of this, he took the opportunity to sink to the bottom of the sea and fled to the depths of the Ruthless Sea. It knew that once it entered the depths of the Ruthless Sea, there was no way to catch it, and its life would be saved.

In the end, Jiang Ming was still careless. This Ruthless Sea was the Black Water Mysterious Snake's territory, and the bodies of demon beasts are generally very hard, with defensive power far exceeding that of humans, not to mention the Black Water Mysterious Snake, a primordial species, which far exceeds ordinary ferocious beasts. Although Jiang Ming's attack was strong, it could only beat it to the point of being half-crippled. If he wanted to kill it, Jiang Ming would have to hit its seven-inch spot head-on with all his strength, otherwise it would be very difficult to kill it from across the sea!

Jiang Ming searched in the sea for a long time, but couldn't find the Black Water Mysterious Snake's hiding place, which made Jiang Ming stomp his feet in anger. It could be said that the duck that was about to be eaten had flown away. The "Thirty-Six Plans for Slaughtering Snakes" that Jiang Ming had formulated since he went down the mountain, "On the Hall-Level Cooking Methods of Snake Meat," "Qingyun Sect Achievement Point Guide"... etc., all turned into bubbles. He originally wanted to bring some of this snake meat back to the Super God World to nourish Qi Lin, but now, there wasn't even a snake skin left.

After being annoyed, Jiang Ming began to calm down. Anyway, the monk can run away, but the temple can't run away. He can just come again in a few years. With Zhang Xiao Fan's luck, the Black Water Mysterious Snake, Yellow Bird, etc., will all be on his plate sooner or later, as appetizers.

Jiang Ming's second goal was not achieved. Although there was regret, it was not very big. The first goal, the Heavenly Book, was still the most important. Jiang Ming would eventually capture all of these primordial beasts from the Zhu Xian world. At that time, he would study how to improve his physical strength. Currently, Jiang Ming's physical body cultivation method had reached its peak. If the cultivation method was not improved, the physical body would not be able to continue to improve. Synchronizing the improvement of physical strength and cultivation as much as possible was Jiang Ming's main direction, otherwise, if the gap was too large, how would he face the divine bodies of the Super God World?
