Xu Long narrowed his eyes within the escape light. The cultivators of Luo River Valley were also engaged in a fierce battle with the aquatic beasts, who had invaded the mountain from the other side.
The powerful beasts in these waters would not allow them to easily enter the Immortal Ginseng's growing area; a great battle was inevitable.
No wonder the blue-robed cultivator retreated first; it seems he was afraid the Luo River Valley disciple would snatch the rewards first.
Things seem to be getting a bit complicated in these waters.
Luo River Valley, Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, ferocious aquatic beasts, and the unseen king of beasts...
If I were to add myself to this, then the three major forces within the Daning Commandery Kingdom and the forces within the Vast Sea would be complete.
The great battle that took place in the waters unexpectedly drew in the entire force both Vast Sea to resist it.
No! There are also cultivators from outside the prefectures and kingdoms!
They weren't in these waters; it seems they really did go to the location of the inherited artifact.
Xu Long frowned slightly within the escape light; the situation within the water was currently extremely complex.
When the spirit matures, it attracts cultivators and ferocious beasts from all directions to fight, but there is still a great king in the depths of that water who has not yet shown himself.
While this was a time for everyone to display their unique abilities within the waters, it was also an act of provoking the Beast King.
If things go too far inside, the slumbering Beast King could awaken at any time.
Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Xu Long immediately decided that this battle should be won quickly.
After finding the blue-robed monk about the He Huaibao among the mountains, you must immediately leave this area of water.
One cannot linger in the water for too long, because whatever the cultivators do in the water, the Beast King deep within the water will know it all perfectly well.
A sense of urgency rose in his heart in an instant, and as he transformed into a streak of light and approached the location where the three ferocious beasts were fighting.
With a thought, Xu Long unsheathed the sword light that had been sealed within his Niwan Palace for a long time!
Buzz!
A crisp sword cry erupted in the arena.
The sound of the sword's cry travels extremely far, even on the seabed.
The crisp sound of the sword echoed through the arena, transforming into a sonic wave that instantly cleaved the swirling water.
Before the sword light even appeared, the water had already been cut open, forming a straight channel.
At the foot of the mountain, the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge were engaged in a fierce battle with a ferocious beast when they saw a streak of light rushing into the base of the mountain.
For a moment, he thought it was He Ning was late, and a feeling of relief and joy welled up in his heart.
After all, the three of them were finding it extremely difficult to deal with that high-level ferocious beast.
If He Ning were to join the battle at this moment, the pressure on the three of them would be greatly relieved.
But a moment later, a sword cry suddenly burst forth from the escaping light, instantly extinguishing the joy in their hearts.
He Ning, a cultivator from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, could not fly on a sword, and those who came were not aiding cultivators, but enemies.
The cultivator at the bottom of the mountain immediately extended his True Spirit and vaguely glimpsed a cyan light within the beam of light.
These are traitors from the Jade Screen Sect School!
The disciples of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge cursed inwardly. The bandits from Luo River Valley had not yet been subdued, and now the bandits from Jade Screen Sect School had attacked again.
Senior Brother He left in a hurry, and because all three of them were entangled by that ferocious beast, they couldn't spare any strength to stop Xu Long.
As the water stream parted to reveal a passage, the disciples of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge were filled with anxiety.
But at that moment, one of the ferocious beasts seemed to sense something, and its form suddenly changed as it was closing in.
A long whip-like tail swept fiercely towards the passage where Xu Long was.
A "splashing" sound accompanied by a bubbling sound rose up, and the sweeping whip tail seemed to carry immense force.
As Xu Long's escape light passed in front of that straight passage, it was suddenly blocked.
Xu Long, who was inside the escape light, did not show himself at all, but instead urged it on with his will.
The sword light from the bottom of the water suddenly shot out, bursting forth with wisps of sword energy, and slashed fiercely at the end of the whip.
A resounding clang of metal clashing suddenly erupted, and the seawater at the center of their union abruptly converged.
The sword strike created countless ripples, and the vegetation at the base of the mountain was shaken by the energy shockwave.
After the seawater and bubbles separated with the shock wave, a black whip-like tail lashed out again.
A sword light suddenly swirled back from within the water, and the shockwave reopened the passage in the water.
A figure emerged from the underwater light, and Xu Long's gaze swept across the entire area like lightning.
After the power of the sword forced back the ferocious beast's attack, the high-level ferocious beast and the three cultivators at the bottom of the water all turned their heads to look.
But Xu Long couldn't afford to waste any more time. Once he stepped out of the escape light, he would follow the path drawn by the sword light.
His figure suddenly leaped through the passage, and the cultivator in front reacted instantly, activating the copper rings between his joints.
The accompanying ferocious beast roared and its massive body instantly blocked the water channel.
At this moment, Xu Long, who was advancing, did not slow down his speed at all, but instead formed a magic seal on his chest.
Taking advantage of a gap, Xu Long raised the hand seals in front of him high, and then suddenly unleashed them just before reaching the ferocious beast:
"Imperial Edict!"
A loud shout came from Xu Long, and the magic seal emitted countless starlight when it was unleashed.
The tiny specks of starlight rapidly magnified in the beast's eyes, their power like a star shining brightly, clearly visible even in the ocean currents.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in the beast's heart, but its body in front of the magic seal was enveloped by a starlight.
After a series of urgent roars, the solidified magic seal was instantly detonated at the end of the passage.
boom!
After a loud bang, the water channel was instantly severed by a Super Strength.
The cultivators and ferocious beasts around the water passage were all shaken away by a powerful aura.
The star-studded magic seal was instantly detonated underwater, and the ferocious beast that had just blocked Xu Long's path now had half of its body mangled and bloody.
The enormous shockwave continued to rage, and endless waves surged with it.
The ferocious beasts and cultivators on the seabed seemed to be shaken violently; their bodies swayed as the water churned.
Meanwhile, aftershocks were still raging at the epicenter of the explosion in France, but even with the continuous aftershocks, Xu Long never stopped moving.
He kept his eyes fixed on the mountainside from behind, his gaze flashing like lightning.
The ferocious beasts that accompanied them ahead had already been blasted away by a magic seal, bringing the battle between the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge and the high-level ferocious beasts to a halt.
When they saw Xu Long insisting on venturing deeper into the mountainside, everyone present, including the ferocious beasts, knew his purpose.
The roar of the ferocious beast immediately resounded throughout the arena.
Despite the obstruction of the three ferocious beasts, some outside cultivators even dared to venture into the waters in an attempt to seize the Immortal Ginseng.
This is blatant disregard for high-level ferocious beasts, and blatant disregard for King Yuanyuan.
The high-level ferocious beasts in the arena were confronting the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge while also diverting their energy to hinder Xu Long's advance.
At the base of the mountain, they were instantly surrounded by one figure after another.
It seems that Xu Long, trapped inside the shockwave, could only stop in his tracks.
But Xu Long, inside the passage, would not let them have their way!
Get out of my way!
After a loud shout, rolling sound waves exploded in the ears of both the man and the beast.
Before Xu Long could even finish swallowing, everyone saw a burst of white light suddenly shoot out from the approaching figure, reaching into the sky.
When they saw that white light seeming to soar into the sky, everyone felt Xu Long's intent in their hearts.
Any figure blocking their way will be pierced by the sword light!
When the white light appeared, it shot out even faster than Xu Long's figure.
Although the figure in front blocked Xu Long's path, the fierce aura emanating from it could still be felt under the sword light.
However, they all knew in their hearts that they could not back down, and that retreating at this moment would be futile.
The imposing presence of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge was no match for that of the Jade Screen Sect School in the Vast Sea.
Then, the aura of King Yuanyuan was no match for that of the foreign cultivator.
After Xu Long roared, the white light faded, and sword energy burst forth from the seabed.
Before the sword's edge could strike, the heavy sword energy burst forth, piercing through the seawater beneath the seabed.
Before Xiu could dodge, several muffled "bang bang bang" sounds were followed by several jets of blood gushing out from the seabed.
The surging sword energy condensed into a ball within the passage, intertwining with each other, before dispersing again as it approached the ferocious beast's body.
Countless sword energies bloomed like a rain of pear blossoms, and the light on the seabed was instantly replaced by a blazing starlight.
A sense of shock surged in the eyes of both humans and ferocious beasts. As streams of sword energy burst forth, the cultivators amidst the mountains also formed hand seals.
After the magic seal was activated, it was immediately unleashed against the incoming sword light.
Two loud "clangs" erupted in the arena as the magic seal pierced through the seawater, instantly dispersing the heavy sword energy.
The cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge continued their attack with undiminished momentum. After deflecting the sword energy, they intended to strike directly at Xu Long behind them.
But Xu Long, who was returning from the rear, was determined not to let him succeed.
After the sword energy emanated from the passage, a chilling glint appeared behind the figures of the group and the ferocious beast.
A chill ran down their spines, and as the sharp blade swept across, everyone felt Xu Long's cold killing intent emanating from the sword light.
The ferocious beast that accompanied them suddenly roared, and in the tense atmosphere, they couldn't help but try to dodge.
However, the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge also had their eyes on a magic seal, which was used to deal with Xu Long.
At this moment, after rising, it instantly blocked the Xu Long Passage.
But after the sharp, fierce attack, a muffled "thump" was heard.
The magic seal that had been unleashed was now completely pierced through.
The cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge's expression changed drastically. The sword light in their eyes suddenly magnified, and a chill ran from their necks to the top of their heads.
In his haste, he suddenly shouted at the clear magic seal:
"Imperial Edict!"
After the word was uttered, the magic seal within the substitute was immediately detonated by a surge of True Spirit.
A deafening roar echoed incessantly in our ears, and a surge of violent energy erupted within the passageway.
When the surging energy erupted, the channel that Xu Long had condensed was instantly torn apart by a Super Strength.
At this moment, a huge shockwave surged up in the passage, quickly condensing into a series of curtain-like walls in front of Xu Long.
The sound of "crackling" echoed rapidly underwater as Xu Long, braving the danger of the collapsing curtain wall, darted through the water channel in a flash.
Suddenly, a sword light shone brightly before his eyes, its sharp edge like a dazzling star, particularly eye-catching as it shone with Wuxian light underwater.
As the stars rose, they left a long trail across the seabed before crashing down upon the enormous figures.
A deafening roar suddenly erupted in the area, and a surge of turbid water instantly rose up from the water.
The silt that had been deposited at the bottom of the water for countless years roared like an earth dragon, and was about to be swept into the sky by the shock wave.
The sound of splashing echoed continuously on the seabed as the water droplets condensed from the surging waves.
At this moment, they had all been shattered by the sword's slash.
The several enormous figures ahead suddenly plummeted from the seabed, revealing Weiss's sword-wielding form.
The star spun away instantly after falling, leaving behind countless sword energies.
As the swirling sword energy erupted, it stirred up a curtain of water droplets in the flowing water, and shockwaves surged up from the base of the mountain.
After exchanging glances, the three cultivators instantly broke free and retreated up the mountainside in that brief moment.
But Xu Long, who was behind him, suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mountain, carrying the shattered curtain wall with him.
His goal was not to fight against cultivators or ferocious beasts; he wanted to use the shockwave to rush up the mountain.
But at that moment, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang in his ears, making Xu Long's heart sink.
The path ahead of him had been cleared by the sword light. Xu Long was about to rush into the mountain range when the curtain behind him shattered under the force.
Several heavy energies suddenly struck behind Xu Long, and dark shadows appeared amidst the flowing water.
Xu Long's heart was jolted violently, and he almost coughed up blood.
He swallowed hard from below his throat, forcibly suppressing the rising blood.
Using the energy from the powerful blow behind him, Xu Long shot towards the mountainside like a cannonball.
The grass and trees beneath them were swept away in an instant, and the three cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge raised their heads in a flash.
That cyan figure flashed past their sight in an instant!
Roar!
Several furious roars erupted in the arena in an instant!
After Xu Long's figure disappeared in front of them, the three retreating figures were forced to stop abruptly.
One of the companion beasts that had been left to defend against Xu Long and the high-level ferocious beasts had now fallen into a pool of blood.
A blue-robed monk was greatly shaken, and the copper ring between his joints quickly dimmed.
A moment later, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from his throat.
"Puff!"
A cloud of blood mist surged up from the seabed currents, mixed with countless bubbles, resembling an exceptionally crimson flower.
"Junior brother! How are you?"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood mist, the cultivator's aura immediately weakened considerably.
