The white streak of light gradually faded, and the sea heaved.
Half of Xu Linglong's clone's remaining body had also been cut away by that strike. The half that remained began to writhe strangely, then became a complete Xu Linglong, noticeably smaller than before.
"The Body Integration Realm... then that really isn't enough."
As Xu Linglong spoke, she darted backward, then laughed softly;
"Fortunately, I made other preparations. Since I came today, I can't leave you without your fill of fun."
As her words fell, a towering wave surged beneath Xu Linglong's feet. Then several extremely strange, crimson tentacles emerged from the sea and sheltered her.
As the tentacles rose from beneath the sea, their owner revealed itself as well.
In Chu Xingchen's words, the rough description would have been-a grotesquely shaped, supergiant octopus with red tattoos on its skin.
Xie Lingyu's expression remained unchanged. Its Divine Sense had long since detected this enormous creature beneath the sea.
Its aura was extremely peculiar, and even its cultivation system seemed to have changed. Judged by cultivators' realms, it was probably around the Deification Realm.
Sometimes, a gap in realms could not be bridged simply by having a larger body.
The octopus had also taken most of that last sword strike, and one of its tentacles had been severed and sunk to the seabed.
As Bai Xuanling's only True Disciple, Xie Lingyu had also had her foundations cultivated to the standard of a Core Disciple.
She was the one who killed above her realm. How could some wild thing like this injure her?
Xie Lingyu's eyes were calm. If this octopus was the preparation Xu Linglong had spoken of, then never mind giving her her fill of fun-it probably could not even make her fight seriously.
"Sorrow and regret-Ultimate Nothingness."
