After confirming that the Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor was resting, Xiao Yun did not choose to launch a frontal assault.
Instead, he began considering how to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor.
To deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor, the first step was to sever its connection to the surrounding seawater. Without enough seawater, many of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor's abilities would be unable to produce their earth-shaking effects, making it much easier to handle.
