Then they saw it!
The octopus tentacles, wreathed in a blood-red vortex a hundred thousand feet across, swept up countless muffled explosions of seawater and swung straight down to block the sword ray...
In an instant!
Clang!!! An earthshaking metallic collision erupted. The seawater for hundreds of miles around shuddered violently, and concentric rings of tsunami waves surged wildly across the surface. Sonic blasts and astral winds erupted incessantly from the center of the collision, blasting a gigantic crater thousands of feet deep into the water and sending seawater spraying in every direction...
Boom! With an earthshaking, muffled explosion, the enormous Myriad-Eyed Octopus King smashed the sword ray into countless splinters of white light, each as sharp as a sword. They sprayed outward, plunging into the sea with a rapid succession of thuds and blasting one enormous pit after another into the water...
"Damn you! Human!!" The Myriad-Eyed Octopus King's two enormous tentacles had not escaped unscathed either. They were flung upward, covered in countless wounds, though not a trace of blood appeared, and the wounds were healing rapidly. Still, he could not help roaring in fury. Just as this fat morsel was about to fall into his mouth, an interloper had barged in. Naturally, he was enraged. What was more, that single strike had already told him that this newcomer would be no easy opponent...
In an instant!
Bang! A muffled explosion burst from the surface as a figure shot out of the sea. With a head of white hair and a silver longsword in hand, the man who had struck was none other than Tianyuan...
Rings of almost tangible sword qi churned around Tianyuan, twisting even the void as he stared coldly at the Myriad-Eyed Octopus King...
"Hahaha! You old Myriad-Eyed bastard! Didn't see that coming, did you?!"
