Over the boundless sea, Tang Xuan rode his sword like a storm petrel battling the wind and waves.
After the border war ended, Tang Xuan set out for Sea God Island. Before leaving, he asked Tang Hao to keep a closer eye on the situation across the continent for him. It might be two or three years before he returned.
As Tang Xuan flew, he used his powerful spiritual power to probe the sea ahead. He did not know whether Tang San and the others had encountered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but to avoid trouble, he had taken a long detour to Sea God Island. By his calculations, he would arrive in less than a day. No matter how he worked it out, Tang San and the others should already have arrived.
Tang Xuan urged the Godslayer Sword forward, picking up speed. Just as everything seemed calm, something strange happened on the sea beneath him. A vast shadow suddenly appeared on the surface, and it was moving. Tang Xuan was flying extremely fast, yet he remained within its bounds.
Tang Xuan noticed this sudden, subtle change as well. He carefully extended his spiritual power beneath the water to investigate. The vast shadow was following him.
The shadow seemed to float on the surface, but it actually came from the depths. Something this enormous, moving this fast-what could it be? Tang Xuan wondered.
Once his spiritual power reached a certain depth, it suddenly stopped, as though something had blocked it. Tang Xuan stopped moving, and the shadow beneath him stopped too.
Suddenly, an enormous creature burst out of the sea and opened its blood-red maw at Tang Xuan, trying to swallow him in one bite. A chill shot down his back. He hurriedly darted aside, narrowly escaping.
