BXBX NOVEL Chapter 338 - Sieging the Piranha King
Chapter 338 - Sieging the Piranha King
Each thrust could kill someone at the ninth level, and each thrust disrupted the flow of water, producing thunderous rumbles.
The blood of their comrades only made the other ancient piranhas more ferocious. They kept rushing at Chen Fan like arrows.
However, Chen Fan wielded the iron spear skillfully, creating an airtight defense around him. He killed a piranha with each stab.
Puchi!
As the fight continued, all the ancient piranhas that joined later, including that one in the Illusory Core realm, fell under Chen Fan’s spear.
After putting away their demon cores, he dove deeper into the water like a fish.
A short distance away, Qiu Beihai had witnessed Chen Fan’s fight; he was speechless.
“Damn it, this little bastard is so strong. Even Illusory Core realm ancient piranhas are no match for him...” Even he would have trouble dealing with those piranhas in the Illusory Core realm.
Swish, swish, swish!
Like a fish, Chen Fan darted through the water currents, diving even deeper and killing all the ancient piranhas he encountered.
Along the way, Chen Fan was like a killing god, slaying all demons and evil. Everywhere he went, none of the ancient piranhas could escape from his iron spear.
“Good, the energy within these ancient piranhas\' demon cores is much stronger than that from the demon beasts outside," Chen Fan remarked, pleased as tens of demon cores found their way into his storage ring.
Three thousand meters into the water, Chen Fan found himself near the lake\'s bottom.
Rumble!
Suddenly, violent tremors shook the surroundings, causing whirlpools to form in the undercurrents.
Ahead, faint, colorful lights flickered. Some lights were incomparably sharp, some were thick and heavy as mountains, and some froze the water currents. It was hair-raising.
Chen Fan could already see the situation at the bottom of the lake.
“That is...”
At the bottom of the lake was a majestic palace. Its construction material resembled a blend of gold and jade. The palace exuded a grand and enigmatic aura, radiating a rainbow-like immortal glow. It was as if Chen Fan had come to the dragon palace at the bottom of the sea.
Surrounding the palace lay a vast white marble plaza where Xin Wuming, Zi Ling, Jiu Wuxue, and the other geniuses of the leaderboard were present. Everyone’s cultivation erupted, shaking heaven and earth.
However, what caught Chen Fan\'s attention was the nearly two-hundred-foot-long ancient piranha on the plaza, exuding a terrifying aura. His pupils constricted at the sight, a chill creeping down his spine.
“That is... a Core Formation realm piranha king?”
A demon beast at the Core Formation realm was guarding the battle palace.
“No, it’s still in the Illusory Core realm, but it’s very close to the Core Formation realm. It is like a martial artist with a ninety percent solid core.”
Chen Fan somewhat understood the situation.
This piranha king wasn’t truly in the Core Formation realm but was still extraordinarily strong. It was so powerful that it was terrifying.
Aquatic demon beasts held a significant advantage at the lake\'s bottom, while human martial artists were considerably weakened. Xin Wuming and the other geniuses fought together but couldn’t gain the slightest advantage over it.
The piranha king struck Jiu Wuxue, sending him flying with blood spewing out of his mouth. When he saw Chen Fan, he shouted, "Why are you just standing there?! Join the fight!"
Now that they were at the entrance of the Nebulous Battle Palace, they couldn’t get in unless they killed the piranha king guarding it.
This piranha king was the final test the crowd had to overcome before they could take on the trial of the Nebulous Battle Palace.
Swish, swish.
Hong Qianjun, Yuan Jun, Luo Hanshan, and the others also arrived. They also looked shocked when they saw the piranha king.
“Hong Qianjun, you guys are here at the perfect time. Join us in defeating this piranha king. And you, don\'t just stand there. Fight with us, or forget about entering the Nebulous Battle Palace!"
Sword light containing terrifying force shot out from Xin Wuming’s sword in all directions, splitting the water currents and falling on the ancient piranha. Sounds of metal colliding rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.
“Attack!”
Hong Qianjun and the others didn’t hold back. They knew they needed to get rid of the piranha king first to enter the Nebulous Battle Palace.
Now, everyone had to work together. The piranha king was simply too strong. Facing the piranha king alone was no different from throwing an egg at a stone.
Swish!
Chen Fan went into motion without a word, his iron spear gleaming with a cold light as he aimed for the piranha king\'s eye.
Clang!
However, his strike proved futile as the piranha king just shut its eyes. Its eyelids were steel walls, deflecting Chen Fan\'s attack with a terrifying force that left his arms numb.
Meanwhile, a mass of violet qi swirled around Zi Ling, morphing into various weapons that she unleashed with formidable power.
“Attack the piranha king’s belly. There are fewer scales here. It’s the weak spot!”
“Myriad Mountain Destroying Punch!”
“Infinite Thunderclap!”
“Violet Qi Brilliant Sky!”
“Bloody Three Thousand Slash!”
“......”
Xin Wuming, Zi Ling, Jiu Wuxue, and the others executed big moves one after another. Their cultivation revolved fiercely as flashes of light swept across the white marble plaza.
The overflowing blade qi and sword qi left cuts of various depths on the white marble plaza.
However, the piranha king was powerful.
Yet, despite their relentless assault, the piranha king remained unscathed, its scales deflecting their blows with resounding clangs and sparking off showers of sparks.
“Damn it. The piranha king\'s strength is overwhelming, especially underwater, where our attacks are weakened. We can’t hurt the piranha king at all.”
“We have too few people. Let’s drag this out and wait for more people to come. If everyone works together, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to kill the piranha king. After all, the piranha king is not truly in the Core Formation realm.”
Xin Wuming, Jiu Wuxue, and the others spoke up one after another.
If they had been on land with these many leaderboard experts, killing the piranha king would not have been a problem.
Swish, swish, swish...
Determined to buy time, Chen Fan and the group continued their skirmish with the piranha king, awaiting additional support.
Soon, some stronger eighth and ninth-level Yuanfu realm martial artists broke through the attacks of the piranhas above and arrived at the bottom of the lake.
When Jiu Wuxue saw that many people had successfully made it down here, he shouted, “Good, come here, all of you. Let’s attack the piranha king together. No one can enter the Nebulous Battle Palace if we don’t kill it!”
These people exchanged glances and nodded. They landed on the white marble plaza. Ignoring their injuries, they revolved their cultivation and joined forces to attack the piranha king.
