This Should Count as a Specialty from the Sea

"Run!"

The elders present all wore solemn expressions.

These things that suddenly appeared in the Endless Sea had never appeared before, and there were almost no records of them in the sect.

How these things were done was unclear, coupled with the oppressive aura emanating from these figures.

Currently, despite having a numerical advantage, they have absolutely no advantage in terms of skill level.

Judging from the behavior of those marine creatures just now, these things clearly didn't come out to have a peaceful chat.

As the elders made their judgments, these figures also made some sounds, but they seemed to be speaking a unique language, and the specific meaning could not be discerned.

The next moment, Sha Ao looked over and pointed at Gu Chen.

For no apparent reason, Gu Chen felt a slight chill run through his body, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Looking at the other person's gaze and expression, he had a feeling.

The other person seemed to want to eat me.

Not the abstract kind, but the physical act of eating!

"Protect the disciples and retreat!"

An elder gave a low shout, and everyone immediately became alert as if facing a formidable enemy.

But just as the words fell, a voice rang out from among those figures:

"Damn humans, none of you will leave here alive!"

Although obscure, it was still quite unexpected.

Gu Chen didn't have time to care about any of that.

The current situation is extremely pessimistic. The opponent's strength far exceeds that of himself and the elders. Although he may be able to leave because he has a slightly larger number of people.

But the residents of Linhai City, I fear...

At that moment, Gu Chen made a decision.

We can't leave; we need to solve the problem.

Given such a disparity in strength, leaving without paying a price is extremely difficult.

Since there will always be a price to pay, why not let the other party pay it?

It may seem like I've been struggling with this for a long time, but in reality, it only took a moment to change my mind.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was undeniably tense.

Several figures surrounded Sha Ao, their bodies covered in seawater, and judging from their postures, they were clearly about to make a move.

At that moment, Gu Chen's voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait, something's wrong!"

In a single sentence, all attention was immediately drawn to him.

At this moment, Gu Chen's figure also rose into the sky above Linhai City.

Although the other party was not human, at this moment, it actually exhibited some human characteristics.

Although I don't know what they're going to do, I'm just observing.

"There were once your people who asked me to give you something."

Gu Chen's voice rang out again.

It was clearly visible to the naked eye that many of the figures wore expressions of doubt and suspicion.

Gu Chen didn't expect them to say anything. He paused, then suddenly turned to his left and said:

"That--!"

As the sound rang out, he suddenly swung his right hand.

With the power infused, a talisman rolled into a strip and shot towards the location of Sha Ao and the others like a spear.

Shifting attention and catching them off guard—as long as you haven't suffered losses before, it's worth a try.

In fact, this method does work.

When he looked to his left, most of the people around him followed suit.

But not all.

The Transcendent Realm figures around Sha Ao quickly reacted, raising their hands and waving them. Scales flashed, tearing through the void and blasting towards the talisman.

Laugh.

The talisman broke instantly.

Boom!

A terrifying aura of flames surged forth from within, spreading wildly towards the dozen or so figures.

This talisman was a Saint Rank Peak Grade talisman left to him by Lu Changzhi when he left during their training near the Heaven-Reaching Mountain Range — the Heaven-Burning Flame Domain.

The power of the flames surged, and in an instant, the temperature between heaven and earth rose sharply. In the void, it was as if a sea of fire appeared, burning fiercely and engulfing a vast area.

Those dozen or so figures were all under the influence of the Heaven-Burning Flame Domain. Below them, seawater surged wildly, and upon contact with the flames, it instantly caused an astonishing sea fog to rise in this area.

Gu Chen did not stop there; the talisman was positioned further away than expected, giving his opponent time to react.

Brush.

With a flash of light, two long tubes, as thick as a thigh and as long as a calf, were taken out and tossed upwards.

Bang! Bang!

Two powerful punches sent two things flying out.

These two are not particularly large, but they also originated from Mu Fan. According to Mu Fan, these smaller ones are not primarily for destruction, but are specifically designed for small areas. They use their small size to achieve high speed, and the Spirit-Restraining Stone inside are used to target cultivators.

And indeed, the two long tubes did burst forth with astonishing speed, rushing towards the figures in the Flame Domain.

Then.

Boom!

Two explosions rang out in quick succession.

The effect was remarkable; immediately, the other party could be heard letting out sounds of pain and fury.

Gu Chen still had no intention of stopping there. He held other objects in his hands while using the system to check the information of these figures.

The information disappeared one by one, accompanied by a figure burning with flames falling into the sea. The column of water formed by the sea completely dissipated, and all the information vanished as well.

Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected of a talisman given by Master."

The flames slowly subsided, and the sea returned to calm. Gu Chen sighed.

At the same time, the elders, watching this scene unfold before them and glancing at Gu Chen, were all deeply moved.

"Hidden Origin Peak disciples have all become this strong?"

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint aroma of meat through the scorching air.

Gu Chen looked down, his expression surprised.

The large number of crabs and lobsters, scorched by the aura of the Heaven-Burning Flame Domain, changed color, turning an enticing red, which was quite peculiar.

"This should also be usable as an ingredient?"

Gu Chen's eyes flickered, and he decisively descended.

"This should be considered a specialty of the sea. Let's take it back and see; perhaps Master will like to eat it."

With a soft voice, Gu Chen got busy.

The Five Symbols Sect School.

On the platform, Lu Changzhi slowly woke up.

It feels like a long time has passed.

With a soft whisper, Lu Changzhi sensed it.

The enhancement that bloodline brings to the physical body is the greatest, but since the fusion has only been going on for a short time, the improvement is not too exaggerated.

Within the heart, the light of the essence and blood became even deeper, releasing a powerful aura.

I was just about to try activating my bloodline.

Then, the light and shadow reappeared, followed by a sound:

"The bloodline has returned to your body. With this bloodline, your strength will definitely improve, and your cultivation speed will be faster than before. However, I hope you won't advance too quickly. Focus on building a solid foundation and cultivate each realm to its limit. This will greatly affect your future higher realms..."

Then came some words of advice, Lu Changzhi listened to Jingjing.

Furthermore, he was even more curious whether there was something else he planned to tell him.

"Oh, right."

At this moment, the light and shadow changed the subject, saying:

"The sect possesses some Unsealing Key; remember to visit the Longevity Battlefield when you have the chance."

"The Unsealing Key? The Longevity Battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi looked somewhat surprised.
