After a careful search, Liu Changxu discovered a fourth-tier low-grade undersea spirit vein thousands of zhang beneath the sea, three thousand li from the island. He was overjoyed.
Of course, he also discovered its owner-a fourth-tier low-grade Netherworld Sea Serpent.
At that moment, the thousand-zhang-long Netherworld Sea Serpent, which resembled a black dragon, lay coiled atop the underwater ridge containing the spirit vein. Its enormous blue-green eyes glinted with an icy menace as they stared fixedly at Liu Changxu in the distance.
Seeing this, Liu Changxu first released Blue-Scaled Flood Dragon Liu Changlan, then summoned his Heaven-Flipping Sea-Splitting Halberd and sent it shooting toward the distant Netherworld Sea Serpent.
Seeing that the human cultivator meant it harm, the Netherworld Sea Serpent naturally refused to await death with its hands tied. With a sweep of its enormous tail, it stirred terrifying whirlpools in the previously calm depths, then opened its cavernous, blood-red maw and spat out an ink-black water dragon.
Liu Changlan immediately reverted to his true form. A blue Flood Dragon even more enormous than the Netherworld Sea Serpent lunged forward.
The dragon and serpent soon became locked in combat.
Meanwhile, Liu Changxu controlled the Heaven-Flipping Sea-Splitting Halberd, supporting the fight from the side.
The water dragons spat out by the Netherworld Sea Serpent contained deadly poison, so even Liu Changxu, a Nascent Soul True Lord, dared not draw too close. He could only attack from afar.
Unskilled in underwater combat, Liu Changxu struggled to cope even with the towering waves and whirlpools stirred up by the battling dragon and serpent!
He could not help inwardly rejoicing that he had brought Blue-Scaled Flood Dragon Liu Changlan this time. Otherwise, slaying the Netherworld Sea Serpent with his own strength, thousands of zhang beneath the sea, would have been all but impossible!
