Heavenly Thunder Spear Net

As a smuggling cultivator who once dabbled in the gray areas, Old Zhu had a wealth of combat experience, fighting against fellow cultivators, sea monsters, Demon Cultivator, regulatory cultivators from relevant departments, and even Rogue Cultivator from the East Sea.

Therefore, when Azure Cloud Zi looked down on him as Heavenly Gate cultivator, Old Zhu was furious.

If I hadn't quickly retired from crime, I might be in jail now. And you're messing with me like this?!

You'll see if I don't chop you to death!

As a swordsman, Old Zhu had long ago comprehended the Unity of Man and Saber. Unlike others, he did not pursue a higher level of swordsmanship after comprehending the Unity of Man and Saber. Instead, he repeatedly pondered this level of swordsmanship and deduced it to the point where the sword follows the thought.

As a former smuggler, Old Zhu knew all too well that whether it was delivering or unloading goods, there was often only one chance to make a cut.

You either come out alive, or you go in dead.

Between life and death, there is no question.

The blade flashed repeatedly, and with each flash, a wrist or limb was severed at the root.

This Sinking Bone Giant Squid also displayed a monstrous regenerative ability on par with sea monsters. Often, as soon as one of its tentacles was severed, a new tentacle would immediately burst forth from the cut, carrying immense force as it was flung towards Old Zhu.

Cultivators who have sailed the seas know that many times, it's not that the ship's formations are unable to stop the sea monsters, but rather that the sea monsters grind the Spirit Stone from the ship's formations until they are exhausted and dragged to their deaths on the sea surface.

This is the most desperate situation.

So when facing a siren, you either need to be able to severely injure it with a single blow, or you need to rely on your ship's speed to shake it off.

Once a stalemate is reached, the outcome will inevitably be tragic.

Old Zhu knew this, and so did Hu Mang.

Meanwhile, on the seabed, a figure devoid of any sign of life was silently walking amidst the eerie Yin Qi.

As one of the two-piece set gifted by the security guard, the security uniform was rather ordinary compared to the particularly impressive flashlight.

It wasn't just plain, it was also a bit dirty.

But only Hu Mang who wear it on their bodies know that its effect is even more exaggerated than a flashlight.

If a flashlight is the light for detecting ghosts, then putting on this security guard uniform is like putting a living person inside the body of a ghost.

Ghosts are nowhere to be seen!

The feeling was wonderful. The ghosts, Sha Qi, and resentful thoughts that had been eyeing him with hostility all treated him as one of their own under the cover of this clothing. They not only had no intention of attacking him, but they didn't even have the interest to look at him twice, allowing him to walk through the places with the densest Yin Qi.

According to the plan, Old Zhu was responsible for attracting the attention of the Sinking Bone Giant Squid, while he was responsible for the main attack and had to severely injure the opponent in one blow.

Because if the Hu Mang cannot severely damage the mutated sea monster, it will also be in danger.

After all, by sacrificing all its intelligence and potential, the sea monster gained this abnormal ability to entangle itself.

With Old Zhu present, Devil Cultivation Method could not be displayed, and Buddhist teachings were also difficult to execute. However, many people have forgotten that Hu Mang's specialty is neither Devil Cultivation Method nor Buddhist teachings, but rather the spear he has been practicing diligently for nearly 30 years.

Especially after studying the "Tribulation-Breaking Divine Spear" for some time, Hu Mang vaguely felt that his spear skills had improved again.

Moreover, Devil Cultivation Method and Buddhist teachings are quite effective when used as support.

The Heavenly Devil Field expanded silently from him, covering an area of three zhang in all directions.

Within this three-zhang radius, his five senses and six senses were forcibly amplified. He could hear the subtle sound of the Sinking Bone Giant Squid's tentacles cutting through the water, smell the rusty stench in the dark green fluid, sense the direction and speed of every wisp of Spiritual Qi in the seawater, and even perceive the tiny eddies formed by the water flow on the surface of the reef through the touch of his skin.

At the same time, his seven emotions and six desires were amplified by the Heavenly Devil Field. Anger, greed, murderous intent, and longing—all these emotions burned fiercely in his heart like fuel thrown into a furnace.

But these fuels did not ignite his reason.

Behind him, the phantom of Wisdom King Aizen quietly appeared, with three faces and six arms. Each face had a different expression, and each of the six arms Law Artifact, silently floating in the void.

The sensory stimulation and lustful thoughts aroused by the Heavenly Devil Field were continuously drawn into the phantom of Wisdom King Aizen, like water being attracted by a whirlpool. As the Myō-ō absorbed these thoughts, his face became clearer and more solid, as if he were transforming from a phantom into a physical entity.

In this back and forth, Hu Mang's mind became clearer and clearer. Those amplified emotions and sensory stimuli were drawn away by Wisdom King Aizen the moment they arose, leaving no trace in his consciousness.

During this process, Hu Mang's State of Mind transcended the illusion of seeing the Moon in the Well in a well, and he saw the true "moon".

In her eyes, the pupils disappeared, replaced by a dense Thunder Net, just like the female celestial general of yesteryear.

He used his body as a furnace and his spear as a guide, uniting himself with the calamity and using his weapons to Tribulation Breaking.

"That must have been her State of Mind back then."

With the help of the ghostly security guard uniform, the Hu Mang was now less than three zhang away from the Sinking Bone Giant Squid.

He could even smell a sea monster scent that was completely different from the aura of Demon Beast.

It smells unpleasant, like an increased concentration of fishy smell.

Meanwhile, the Sinking Bone Giant Squid opposite seemed to sense something was wrong, and its suckers with "Nether Pearl" began to sweep erratically, trying to find the problem.

At that very moment, the Hu Mang moved.

The black iron spear in his hand was covered with a dense network of Thunder Net marks.

The entire gun barrel seemed to transform into a solidified bolt of lightning, radiating a dazzling light in the dim seabed.

His eyes were completely covered by Thunder Net, his pupils disappearing, leaving only two flickering silver-white bolts of electricity, locked tightly on the area where the Sinking Bone Giant Squid's torso and tentacles connected—

There, a fist-sized, slightly pulsating core, surrounded by layers of muscle and cartilage, is the nerve center of all the wrists and feet.

The Hu Mang held its spear, leveling it as it thrust forward.

This seemingly ordinary and slow delivery even gave the illusion of being slowed down, but wherever the spear tip passed, the seawater was silently pushed aside, forming a brief vacuum channel in front of the spear tip.

At that moment, the lightning patterns on the gun body lit up simultaneously, and countless thin, silvery-white arcs of electricity shot out from the gun body, weaving into a dense electric net in the surrounding seawater, enveloping the massive body of the Sinking Bone Giant Squid.

The moment the spear tip touched the Sinking Bone Giant Squid's body, time seemed to stand still for a split second.

Then, lightning erupted.

Countless silver-white lightning bolts surged from the tip of the spear into the body of the Sinking Bone Giant Squid, instantly spreading throughout its entire body; the lightning bolts intertwined, collided, and overlapped within its body, forming a destructive torrent of lightning.

The Sinking Bone Giant Squid's body suddenly froze. Its waving tentacles stopped moving at the same instant.

Its body surface began to show dense cracks, spreading outwards from the core. Silvery-white arcs of electricity kept popping out from the cracks, making crackling sounds.

Hu Mang sheathed his spear, and the lightning patterns on the spear slowly faded, restoring the original dark black color of the black iron.

His eyes returned to normal, and his pupils reappeared, but the lingering effect of the Thunder Net remained deep within his eyes for a moment before slowly dissipating.

He glanced at the massive body before him that was beginning to disintegrate, exhaled softly, then turned and rose towards the sea.

Following the Heavenly Star Falls, the Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plains, and the Qian Yang Subdues Devils, the fourth demon-subduing technique— the Heavenly Thunder Spear Net —was deduced.

Meanwhile, Old Zhu, who was in the air, suddenly felt a burst of destructive lightning from the seabed.

This feeling even made his heart flutter.

It was as if the seabed had been suddenly torn apart by some powerful being using Thunder Method.

The last time he had this feeling was when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, when he encountered a sea monster for the first time in his life.

But this time, it was the moment the sea monster fell.

Instantly, billowing smoke billowed from the sea monster's body.

One after another, charred tentacles crashed onto the sea surface, creating waves that were then swallowed up by even larger waves stirred up by the Dragon Blood Tide.

Old Zhu quickly came to his senses; this was the core area of Dragon Blood Tide, and even Golden Core were in danger.

Moreover, his Law Power was also greatly depleted.

With this thought in mind, he plunged into the sea.

Soon, two streaks of light flew out of the sea and disappeared.

Not long after they left, several Golden Core Divine Sense swept over, and they even exchanged a few words with each other.

"You dare to fish for seafood at night? Aren't you afraid of being attacked by filthy sea creatures?"

"It looks like a sea monster died?"

"To kill the sea monster in one blow, could it be Nascent Soul cultivator, or perhaps a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator who has mastered a forbidden technique?"

On the Hidden Boat, Hu Mang and Old Zhu were dividing the spoils.

There were eight Nether Pearl in total. Hu Mang took four, and Old Zhu took four, each taking two large and two small.

According to Old Zhu, a single Nether Pearl is worth around 10 million on the black market, while a smaller one can fetch 5 million.

In other words, the two of them earned 30 million from this trip alone!

No wonder those Foundation Establishment cultivators all seem to have fallen into demonic possession; if you replaced them with Golden Core cultivators, Golden Core would also fall into demonic possession.

Foundation Establishment cultivator with 10 million can achieve freedom in Spirit Coin and cultivation.

But for a Golden Core cultivator, that would probably be followed by a zero.

Just as Old Zhu was overjoyed and decided to take Hu Mang to make another fortune, Hu Mang refused the other party's suggestion.

The reason was simple: he wanted to solidify the level of spearmanship he had just developed.

He could clearly sense that this spear technique was subtly different from the previous three moves.

If I had to put it into words, this move, "Heavenly Thunder Spear Net," seems to be "alive."

So no matter how anxious and impatient Old Zhu, Hu Mang went straight to the cabin and began his seclusion.

So the next morning, the crew, having rested enough, went back to sea to fish.

Old Zhu has sighed countless times.

He could earn 30 million in one trip, no more. If he had a couple more of these fortuitous opportunity, he could retire decades earlier.
