BXBX NOVEL Chapter 295 - 293: Acts of Unorthodoxy l
The sound of crashing waves echoed from afar, gradually growing stronger.
Looking into the distance, hundreds of sea beasts with various forms were frantically charging towards the sea area designated by the Song Family.
There were demonic turtles moving swiftly on the surface of the water like shooting arrows; sea beasts with sturdy legs that could jump over tens of meters in one leap; and flood dragons and fish demons that would appear and disappear on the water surface, approaching quickly.
Most of these animals were first and second-grade demon beasts. Though their numbers were too many, Song Yu and the other monks from the Song family were prepared, holding charms and magic artifacts, intently watching the ever-approaching sea beasts.
“Attack!”
As the sea beasts were about to reach the first line of defense by the Song family, Song Yu issued the command.
Instantly, hundreds of cultivators activated their charms, and countless ice spears, ice arrows, and ice spikes were unleashed in a massive attack against the sea beasts.
Some of the sea beasts resisted with their robust flesh bodies, some deftly evaded the attack, and others retaliated with water-based formula methods. For a time, various formula methods swirled in the air, and the water’s surface was in turmoil.
Thanks to the Song family’s thorough preparation, the first wave of charmbased attacks caused grievous injuries to many sea beasts, and even outright killed some, turning a large part of the sea area into a blood red expanse.
However, the number of sea beasts far exceeded the number of cultivators. After surviving the first wave of charms, many sea beasts adapted quickly and fiercely charged at the monks of the Song family.
Under the repeated onslaught of the sea beasts, the cultivators found themselves unable to cope. In no time, it was clear that they were at a disadvantage, with their defence line teetering on the brink of collapse.
“A sword is honed over a thousand days. It is time to see blood after being nurtured in its sheath for so long.”
Holding an ancient sword sheath, Lu Xuan stared solemnly at the sea beasts violently rampaging through the sea.
Finally, due to the ferocious onslaught of a huge sea beast, several monks from the Song family were forced back, causing a crack in the defence line. In a blink of an eye, more than twenty sea beasts squeezed in through the opening.
“This is bad!” Song Yu, who had been paying attention to the fight everywhere, noticed the defence line’s breakdown and cried out in alarm just as he was about to lend a hand.
A reverberating sword hum resounded.
A deep purple electric light streaked across the sky, followed by a sharp explosion sound, to all the sea beasts and cultivators present.
In the midst of flashes and thunderclaps, the Purple Lightning Sword pierced straight into the head of the demon beast that had entered the water region, and the opening at the large hole sparked joyfully, completely charring the sea beast’s head.
The Purple Lightning Sword itself was among the top tier of third-grade flying swords. Fueled by the power of thunder and lightning and nurtured in the Mysterious Yangxuan Scabbard for so long, it eliminated more than twenty sea beasts with ease in just one confrontation.
“Thankyou, Uncle Lu, for your timely rescue.”
Not far away, Song Yu’s face was filled with gratitude. Although it had only been the first lines of defence that had been breached, if he could not swiftly deal with these sea beasts, allowing the Void Nether Spirit Fish in the waters to be hunted at will, the loss would have been severe.
“Just doing my duty.”
Lu Xuan responded dispassionately.
“Watch your surroundings more carefully. If any of the family disciples are struggling, help to reduce their pressure.”
“Yes!” Song Yu promptly responded.
He glanced at the twenty or so sea beast corpses floating in the water and saw a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Since Lu Xuan arrived on Void Nether Island, he had basically stayed in the courtyard with the Spirit Field and closed himself off from the rest of the world, focusing wholeheartedly on the Spirit Plants.
Under such circumstances, he subconsciously thought that Lu Xuan was just an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sky Sword Sect who was keen on Spirit Plants. While he still maintained respect on the surface, he unknowingly had looked down on him slightly.
Little did he know, Lu Xuan’s fighting strength far exceeded his expectations. Just in one face-off, he easily dealt with more than twenty sea beasts.
“After all, he comes from a renowned sect, his cultivation level and swordsmanship are not something ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators can compare with.”
Song Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, came back to his senses instantly, looked at the battles everywhere on the sea, and felt somewhat reassured in his heart.
Next, Lu Xuan sat in the rear, watching which of the Monks of the Song Family were in a dire situation and rushed to their aid at a swift speed, quickly resolving the matter of a few sea beasts.
Like this, the situation gradually stabilized, and in a short span of time, over a hundred sea beasts had been slain, their momentum seemed to weaken slowly.
“Hm? Some of them are quite cunning.”
Lu Xuan lightly exclaimed, his spiritual sense detected some unusual activity, immediately a light blue bead inscribed with spirit light flew out from the storage bag and rested within his mouth.
It was the very water movement bead which allowed him to tread as if on a flat surface in deep waters.
He continually sank, landing at the ocean floor. Under the protection of the water movement bead, he moved freely without being affected by the deep water in any way.
Through his spiritual sense, he felt dozens of Tier-2 sea beasts lurking at the bottom of the water, rapidly approaching him.
Amidst the dim sea floor, the Purple Lightning Sword in Lu Xuan’s hand turned into a streak of purple light, shooting rapidly at the sea beasts.
Like a venomous snake that had been lying in wait for a long time, it suddenly sprang from the shadows and pierced through the skulls of three Tier-2 sea beasts in an instant.
The other sea beasts, affected by this, became more aggressive and lunged at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan sneered, the Purple Lightning Sword quickly circled back, stabbing towards the closest Scale Armor Sea Beast.
Simultaneously, the Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet in his Dantian spun rapidly, countless deep black sword lights surged from the Dantian, like a large school of fish. They drew a wonderful arc, rushing towards the sea beasts at the outermost edge.
A white bone sphere rolled out from the storage bag, under Lu Xuan’s mental control, it expanded into a long white bone spear in a blink. Just like lightning, it shot towards the remaining sea beasts.
Just as the sea beasts thought they could easily dodge it, the spear tip of the giant white bone spear suddenly split open, like a flower blooming instantaneously. The flower kept stretching and quickly became a big white bone net.
All of this happened in a flash, more than ten sea beasts couldn’t react in time, and were enveloped by the white bone net.
The huge net quickly closed in, the net lines turned into slender inverted hooks and bone spikes, deeply piercing into the bodies of the sea beasts.
The fourth-grade white bone demon puppet artifact dealt with the mainly Tier-2 sea beasts’ bodies with utmost ease.
Not too long after, under the combined efforts of the purple lightning sword, the edge sword of wind and thunder, and the white bone devil puppet, all sea beasts trying to infiltrate from the sea floor were wiped out.
Lu Xuan looked at the sea floor littered with corpses, floated in front of him, and the Purple Lightning Sword gouged out one eyeball after another from the sea beasts.
“Can’t miss these fresh demon beast eyeballs.”
Lu Xuan was still thinking of the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree in his spirit field, and just happened to have a ready supply of eyeballs to nourish it.
“Hmm…digging out all the eyeballs of sea beasts doesn’t seem like the act of someone on the righteous path…”
At the bottom of the sea, the bodies of dozens of demonic beasts with deep black holes in their eye sockets were scattered around. It was a sight to behold and exceedingly gruesome.
If the monks of Song Family were to see this, it might lead to some unwelcome assumptions.
Lu Xuan thought to himself, and as if inspired, the white bone devil puppet turned into a chill-white wooden stick. Its top had a white bone propeller that quickly rotated and shot towards the skulls of the sea beast corpses on the sea floor.
Under the impact of the tremendous force, the hard skulls exploded one after the other, turning them into countless headless corpses,
“This looks quite normal now, at most people would just think that I used some brutal techniques and would never guess that I’ve covertly taken all the eyeballs.”
If he can’t hide the problem, thenhe’ll just have to destroy the problem outright.
Lu Xuan looked at the dozens of corpses at the bottom of the sea, and thought to himself.
