Luo Zhou never expected Cheng Peng to be the first to charge out. He was truly ferocious!
Cheng Peng's Qi Refining spiritual energy had the trait of Starry Light Energy, granting him powerful defense.
It wasn't that the monster was brave, but rather that he had survived repeated chewing by the old Crocodile Dragon, which was why he was so courageous.
Luo Zhou, wielding his seasoned copper staff, followed and charged out.
This was just a small squad on the east city wall. There were many other squads, some charging down, others observing from the wall.
Ranged archers and crossbowmen fired their weapons, sending countless arrows raining down from the sky.
The charging sea beasts were immediately struck down by the arrow rain.
However, among the sea beasts, some could spew venom, shoot scales, and even wield spell-like abilities such as water arrows and breaths, all of which came rushing towards them.
Before some cultivators had even engaged the enemy, they were knocked to the ground in the first exchange.
Luo Zhou couldn't react in time and simply followed behind Cheng Peng.
In an instant, the space of three to five li became a battlefield where both sides clashed.
Approaching them was a group of Fishmen, gliding swiftly across the ground, wielding various Bone Weapons.
Ironware was rare in the sea, so Fishmen primarily used bone weapons.
But do not underestimate these Bone Weapons. They were made from the bones of giant sea beasts like whales, refined through special methods, making them as sharp and sturdy as ironware.
A civilization that has existed for ten thousand years naturally has its own heritage and advantages.
Cheng Peng leaped up, his true qi transforming into starlight, and pulverized the leading Fishman in one strike.
That Fishman was also a Rank Two, equivalent to a human cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.
Yet, with just one collision, he was instantly killed!
A solo kill, a great start!
Luo Zhou followed behind, a rainbow light flashing around him, a talisman from Liu Jing activating.
He added defense for all his allies!
Luo Zhou swung his seasoned copper staff at a Fishman in front of him, bringing it down with full force!
He unleashed his full power!
Luo Zhou didn't even see what the Fishman looked like; one strike sent it exploding into a bloody pulp.
Unleashing full power, eighteen thousand jin, was no joke.
Flesh and blood splattered, the impact spraying blood everywhere, making it incredibly slippery.
Luo Zhou used too much force and almost lost his grip on the seasoned copper staff.
The moment he killed the enemy, a sea snake coiled around the Fishman, looking like a belt.
It instantly lunged, opening its mouth to bite Luo Zhou's arm, which was unprotected by chainmail.
The sea snake was pitch black, incredibly venomous, and extremely insidious.
With one bite, a layer of Golden Armor appeared on Luo Zhou.
The sea snake shattered with a poof.
This sent a cold sweat down Luo Zhou's spine. Those from the seaside knew it as the Black Tooth Snake, incredibly venomous; a bite without immediate antidote meant certain death.
The Overturning Rivers and Seas Golden Armor, which Luo Zhou had never taken seriously, saved his life at a critical moment.
Even the initial exchanges were incredibly perilous, and Luo Zhou immediately became extremely cautious.
The two sides were in a fierce battle.
Luo Zhou looked around; the area was in complete chaos, and he couldn't find Cheng Peng.
Suddenly, Luo Zhou froze. He felt a sensation from the Eternal Fire Sea on his back.
Life forces were being rapidly captured and fed into the Eternal Fire Sea.
In a blink of an eye, over thirty had passed. In just the initial engagement, over thirty individuals and sea beasts had died.
And this was just around Luo Zhou...
Thirty life forces could be used to refine his body and abilities three times!
Luo Zhou's eyes immediately changed. This wasn't a battlefield; it was a treasure trove, a pile of riches!
Just then, two Fishmen, brandishing bone knives, roared and charged at him.
"Human cub, delicious!"
"Kill him! Eat him!"
To Luo Zhou, these weren't just Fishmen; they were two flickering flames!
Luo Zhou roared, swinging his seasoned copper staff, bringing it down on their heads.
The opposing Fishman blocked with its bone knife, but with a crack, the bone knife, along with its head, was smashed.
However, that Fishman was still tenacious, gripping the seasoned copper staff tightly, refusing to let go even with its head shattered.
Another Fishman lunged forward during this time.
Luo Zhou pulled hard, tearing off the arm of a dead Fishman still clutching its bronze rod.
Then he swung at another Fishman.
The Fishman immediately dodged, but Luo Zhou moved his feet, his Overturning Rivers Step allowing him to catch up and strike again.
He pursued relentlessly, catching up and delivering three blows with the bronze rod, beating the Fishman to death.
Luo Zhou frowned, finding the bronze rod awkward to use.
Suddenly, a roar erupted, and a muscular, frog-like monster appeared before Luo Zhou.
It was an Iron Force Frog, a giant sea beast twice the size of a normal Fishman, appearing as a muscular, humanoid frog.
The Fishman were not simple either. Seeing Luo Zhou's strength in killing three of them, they directly summoned their offering, an Iron Force Frog.
The Iron Force Frog roared and charged straight at Luo Zhou.
Luo Zhou struck it with the bronze rod.
The Iron Force Frog was tough. It didn't block, instead using its head to take the blow head-on.
While taking the hit, it suddenly grabbed Luo Zhou's bronze rod, its hands exerting force to wrestle for it.
The Iron Force Frog, a giant sea beast, possessed thirty thousand jin of strength, completely overpowering Luo Zhou.
During their struggle, the bronze rod was bent completely out of shape, like a twisted pretzel.
Luo Zhou suddenly let go, abandoning the bronze rod, and threw a punch.
Treading Sea Fist!
His fist landed on the Iron Force Frog's head.
With this punch, Luo Zhou felt an unparalleled smoothness, far surpassing the feeling of using the bronze rod.
One punch, then another, and another, a rapid succession of blows, a move from the Treading Sea Fist.
Each punch faster than the last, seven consecutive punches were thrown in an instant.
The Iron Force Frog was strong, but slow to react. With a crack, its frog head was smashed, dead!
After killing the Iron Force Frog, the surrounding Fishmen let out howls.
"Awooo, awooo!"
"He has no weapon!"
"His rod is bent, it's broken."
"Kill him!"
A total of four Fishmen charged forward.
Luo Zhou frowned; the bronze rod was now a twisted mess and unusable.
He let go and dropped the bronze rod completely, adopting a boxing stance to parry the Fishmen's attacks.
He moved his feet, evading attacks, his fists and palms striking, counterattacking.
In the first few exchanges, Luo Zhou still followed his practiced routines, unable to fully unleash himself.
One Fishman suddenly shot out over a dozen scales, like arrows.
Force User Golden Armor reappeared, blocking the scales.
A Fishman threw a Black Tooth Snake; Luo Zhou shattered it with a palm strike.
Luo Zhou continued to fight, gradually feeling the flow of combat, adapting to the battlefield.
His original cultivation techniques, the Overturning Rivers and Seas fist and palm routines, slowly transformed into battlefield killing moves.
The entire Overturning Rivers and Seas fist and palm style seemed to come alive.
A Treading Sea Fist, with a thwack, the punch hadn't even landed, but the wind from it had already caused the Fishman's flesh to splatter.
Another punch went through the opponent's chest, crushing their internal organs, killing them outright.
He turned and unleashed an Overturning Rivers Palm. He missed the opponent, but the force of the palm drove the Fishman's head into its own chest cavity.
Then another palm strike, and the entire head was driven into the chest cavity!
At this moment, Luo Zhou felt an immense exhilaration!
This wasn't the thrill of a single, decisive blow like Dragon-Slaying Thrust, but the satisfaction of killing an opponent bit by bit, punch by punch, flesh and blood, beating them to death!
Killing the Fishmen was as easy and carefree as slaughtering chickens.
At this moment, something ignited within Luo Zhou, his ferocity fully erupting, and he laughed heartily.
At this moment, the Overturning Rivers and Seas fist and palm techniques he had cultivated last night, his battle intent, were all activated.
At this moment, he completely merged with the battlefield, his killing spirit, his demonic nature, fully revived and dominating the fight!
With a sudden movement, his Sea Treading Steps carried him rapidly over fifteen meters, charging into a group of Fishmen.
He reached a Fishman and delivered a palm strike to its head.
That Fishman was a leader, wielding a pair of Coral Stone Hammers, possessing great strength.
As the Fishman raised its hand to block Luo Zhou's palm strike, Luo Zhou unleashed another palm, and then another, five consecutive strikes in rapid succession, a move from the Overturning Rivers Palm.
With a squelch, the coral hammer shattered. The palm strike continued its momentum downwards, crushing the Fishman's head!
Five surrounding Fishmen closed in, thrusting spears and stabbing with tridents, spitting venom.
But Luo Zhou spun his body, his Overturning Rivers Step moving like a swimming dragon, evading all their attacks.
He threw a punch, the Treading Sea Fist, and one Fishman's head exploded. Then another palm strike, and another Fishman's head was pulverized!
In less than a moment, all five Fishmen were killed.
It was that easy.
His Overturning Rivers and Seas fist and palm techniques had mastered the flow of battle and combat intent, far surpassing ordinary beings.
With an additional eighteen thousand jin of strength, he controlled it with ease, making it naturally effortless to kill these Fishmen.
Since that was the case, let the battle commence!
Luo Zhou roared and attacked again.
Under his fists and palms, every Fishman was killed with a head explosion.
In a short while, over twenty Fishmen were all slain.
The cultivators fighting nearby were stunned by his actions, cheering him on.
The Fishmen, terrified by him, all retreated. Suddenly, a loud roar sounded.
A burly Green Shrimp Monster charged forward.
This shrimp monster stood a full two zhang tall, its entire body a dark green, as if clad in iron armor. Like the Iron Force Frog, it was a powerful being supported by the Fishmen.
It roared and charged at Luo Zhou, its two iron pincers aiming to slice him in half.
Luo Zhou sneered, closed the distance, spun his body, and used his Overturning Rivers Step to evade the pincers before unleashing a palm strike.
The Overturning Rivers Palm, after Luo Zhou broke through his bottleneck, was gradually revealing its power.
It possessed a special ability to distort distance. Originally, this palm strike was still a foot away from the Green Shrimp Monster's head, but it completely ignored this distance, striking the monster's head.
It wasn't that his hand grew longer, nor was it a spatial distortion. It was chaos, it was overturning, it was subverting.
The Green Shrimp Monster's head was incredibly tough, and it suffered no damage from Luo Zhou's palm strike.
But Luo Zhou continued his assault, unleashing five more consecutive palm strikes, striking down like hammering nails!
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
His body spun, his Overturning Rivers Step evading all of the Green Shrimp Monster's counterattacks.
With the thirteenth palm, cracks appeared on the Green Shrimp Monster's head, and it began to wail.
With the fifteenth palm, the Green Shrimp Monster stopped resisting and turned to flee.
But where could it escape? Luo Zhou pursued it relentlessly. With the eighteenth palm, squelch, its head burst open.
Its corpse fell, limbs still twitching.
Luo Zhou let out a long breath and looked around.
Overturning rivers, shattering heads! Treading seas, exploding skulls!
The surrounding Fishmen retreated at the sight of his gaze. With a unified scream, they fled towards the outer sea.
Sensing carefully, eighty-three destinies had been collected within the Eternal Fire Sea!
