A splashing roar sounded, drawing closer from far away, gradually growing louder.
Straining his eyes into the distance, he saw hundreds of sea beasts of all shapes and sizes scrambling madly toward the sea area marked off by the Song Family.
There were Demon Turtles like arrows loosed from the string, floating on the surface as they sped forward; sea beasts with webbed feet that leapt over ten zhang with a single bound across the water; and Flood Dragons and Fish Demons flickering in and out of sight on the surface as they rapidly approached.
Their auras were basically those of First and Second Grade Demon Beasts, but there were simply too many of them. Song Yu and the other Song Family cultivators stood in tight formation, Talismans and Magic Tools in hand, staring fixedly at the countless sea beasts drawing ever closer.
"Attack!"
Just as the sea beasts were about to make contact with the first defensive line the Song Family had laid down, Song Yu gave the order.
At once, the Talismans in the hands of over a hundred cultivators were activated one after another. Countless Ice Spears, Ice Arrows, Ice Thorns, and more swept toward the mass of sea beasts, blotting out sky and covering earth.
The sea beasts either relied on their powerful Physical Bodies to withstand the attacks head-on, nimbly dodged aside, or counterattacked with water-element spells. For a time, all manner of spells flew through the air, and the surface of the water churned without end.
Because the Song Family had made ample preparations, under the wide-area slaughter of the first round of Talismans, quite a few sea beasts were grievously wounded, and some even perished outright, dyeing a vast stretch of the sea area blood-red.
But the sea beasts far outnumbered the cultivators.
