“The more dangerous something is, the more valuable it becomes.” Chen Feng nodded. The Deepsea Spectre was nothing in Chen Feng’s eyes. Perhaps, it was because it wasn’t strong enough.

“If it’s only Deepsea Spectres at this level, they should not pose a fatal threat to the cultivators on this ship.” Chen Feng’s divine sense swept through the colossal ship. Although the Deepsea Spectres were killing off a considerable number of cultivators, there were also a good number of Deepsea Spectres who ended up getting captured or refined.

Only, the number of Deepsea Spectres was constantly increasing.

Should this situation be allowed to continue, the cultivators on the ship will surely be wiped out.

“I am Fire Dragon Daoist from Seacloud Trade Association. I ask everyone here to fight against the enemy. Our Seacloud Trade Association will compensate any and all losses incurred here. The cost of boarding this ship will be fully refunded as well.” Suddenly, a mighty divine sense spread out through the ship again and again.

Truth be told, most of the cultivators on the ship were already fighting the invading Deepsea Spectres. However, this action from Seacloud Trade Association was the correct thing to do. When they encountered such a situation in the past, they had also asked for the assistance of the passengers aboard the ship.

Naturally, there were still some who did not take action.

They were either those who were highly formidable or those who were too weak. One party couldn’t care less about this situation while the other party was trying to avoid the danger.

“How unfortunate! Unexpectedly, we would be forced to take action as well in the end.”

“We came to the ocean for an adventure, anyways. So, this is nothing. Just consider this as training and experience.”

“It’s not that simple. Seacloud Trade Association has several peak-level Human Immortals on this ship, but even they could not deal with the current situation. On the other hand, we are just mid-level Human Immortals. If we participate in this, we will die.”

“If we do not participate, we’ll die as well once the ship is destroyed.”

“The ship breaking apart is nothing concerning. What I am worried about the most is the Deepsea Spectres. They are the most dangerous things here. Who knows? They may have possessed some people. We are incapable of telling.”

“If that is the case, let’s take action. By working as a team, we should be able to kill off some of the water yaos and Deepsea Spectres.”

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Following the participation of the cultivators on the ship, the situation descended further into chaos. In the beginning, some cultivators were able to utilize certain techniques to capture the Deepsea Spectres. However, as time went by, the situation became increasingly dire.

Bang!

In the end, the barrier protecting the ship was destroyed and one water yao after another – with strange and ferocious appearances – charged in. These water yaos were all bloodthirsty creatures. They attacked the ship with the intention of plundering and devouring those on board.

All of the cultivators on Seacloud Trade Association’s side were already participating in the fight. By the time the barrier was destroyed, they had already lost one quarter of their men. Due to that, the cultivators from Seacloud Trade Association began panicking. They began calling out to nearby cultivators, asking for assistance.

Those who could fly over the ocean region here must surely be an expert amongst experts. These characters should be able to deal with this problem.

Generally speaking, however, the chances of a rescue in the vast ocean was very small.

“The water yaos have made their way in. Everyone, be careful!” Sun Ming and the others quickly assumed a defensive formation. Although the four of them possessed fairly high cultivation bases, now was not the time to be standing out. Given the chaotic situation, being on the defensive was the most appropriate thing to do.

As for Chen Feng, he had already stood up. A massive water yao was charging towards him.

The scales covering this water yao’s body were fully pushed outwards, looking like blades. There was also a long spike protruding out from its head. With a slender body, it looked like a swordfish and it flew forward with incredible speed to arrive before Chen Feng in an instant.

Shua!

With a grasping move, Chen Feng caught the water yao in a firm grip.

It possesses a very formidable offensive power. Given enough space, it would be able to unleash an even stronger attack. It is comparable to a starter-level Yao King. Chen Feng was able to instantly determine the strength of the water yao.

Chen Feng then swung to hurl the water yao forward. As the water yao flew forward, it ended up killing two other water yaos.

Boom!

Chen Feng then released his soul power and instantly sensed that there were over 100,000 water yaos around the ship. As for the number of water yaos deep under the ocean, Chen Feng himself was incapable of figuring it out. The only thing he could say was, a lot.

Most of them are at the Yao King (Human) stage. To think that so many Yao Kings would appear. This force is already much stronger compared to my East Dragon Island. Looks like the cultivators on this ship are in serious trouble.

Sou!

Another attack arrived. This time, it was a thick tentacle, with sharp barbs on its surface. It also gave off a rancid smell. Chen Feng did not grasp at this attack. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he sent a sword beam out and the tentacle was cut. Due to the beam of sword light that Chen Feng sent out, the severed part of the tentacle instantly withered up before disappearing.

There was a trace of bloodthirstiness and the power of fire within the sword light.

Chen Feng’s actions of cutting off the tentacle seemingly provoked the main body and a massive water yao revealed itself. This water yao sported countless tentacles, which kept swinging about. Every one of the tentacles could elongate though a distance of over 1,000 metres and it was attacking over 100 cultivators at the same time.

It was something of a hegemon there.

A peak-level Yao King, interesting. Chen Feng waved his hand and fire energy condensed into the shape of a blade before cutting off another tentacle.

The best way to deal with these water yaos was to use fire-type secret techniques. Naturally, water-type secret techniques would work as well. However, one’s cultivation of the technique would first have to reach a very high level, higher than that of the water yaos.

Sou! Sou!

Two more tentacles attacked Chen Feng. One of the tentacles fired out streams of poisonous water while the other one swirled around Chen Feng, desirous of binding him.

Sou!

Chen Feng’s feet moved and his figure disappeared.

Bang!

The thick tentacles struck the wall of the ship, causing the entire ship to shake violently.

“Brother Chen, do you need help?” Sun Ming asked.

“Thanks, but I can handle it.” Chen Feng smiled. He thought to himself that these fellows were quite the decent fellows. He could help them out if they needed it.

The water yao had already killed off several cultivators. Unexpectedly, it would be obstructed by Chen Feng. Thus, it focused more of its efforts on Chen Feng.

It was then that a wheel of fiery light spread out across the air to smash heavily into the water yao’s massive body. Charred flesh burned and the octopus-like water yao cried out in pain. Waves of water sprayed out to extinguish the fire.

Sou!

Wielding a strange-looking, fire-type magic treasure, a white-robed cultivator floated forward.

A peak-level Human Immortal has taken action. I wonder what his background is? Chen Feng wondered. Beckoning with his hand, the Longevity Sword appeared in his grip and he slashed out three times to cleave three other water yaos in half.

By then, the Longevity Sword was already a top-grade Sacred artefact. It was one of the weapons formed using the weapons condensation technique recorded in the Longevity Scripture. Truth be told, the Longevity weapons had the greatest connection with Chen Feng. At any rate, he had created them with his own power.

Chen Feng did not want to expose too much of his strength. As the Longevity Sword was not a Dao artefact, it fitted quite well with the standards of the cultivators involved in the chaos.

Judging by how the situation is developing, even if we manage to make it out, our side will suffer from serious casualties.

Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well stay here first. At any rate, there is still quite some distance between this place and that small island. Wielding the Longevity Sword, Chen Feng seemingly walked forward in a casual manner. However, his figure was constantly in a fleeting state and every move he made would guarantee that one of the water yaos die.

As he was killing the water yaos, Chen Feng also managed to capture two more Deepsea Spectres.

Even though Chen Feng was already holding back, the number of water yaos and Deepsea Spectres he killed exceeded that of Sun Ming’s group.

Boom!

Suddenly, a cultivator who was not far away from Chen Feng suddenly attacked him. He attacked using a square mace, crackling lightning coursing through its surface. He swung the mace fiercely, without a care for friend or foe, desirous of killing off Chen Feng in one move.

Chen Feng showed no surprise in the face of the attack from a human cultivator. Instead, he gently stepped forward to re-appear somewhere 100 metres away and the attack missed. Next, he swung casually and a sword beam streaked through the 100 metres to easily kill off the cultivator.

A Deepsea Spectre emerged from the body of the cultivator only to be caught by Chen Feng before it could escape.

Compared to the ferocious water yaos outside, these sneaky things are more dangerous. Black light spun within Chen Feng’s eyes and his view of the world transformed. His Magic Eyes of Darkness could see the water yaos, human cultivators and even the magic treasures that they were employing in the fight.

Surface wise, it would appear that many cultivators were fighting the water yaos. However, Chen Feng was able to see Deepsea Spectres hiding within some of the cultivators.

Unexpectedly, there are so many of them. Chen Feng took a step forward to re-appear before a cultivator. Next, the sword in his hand swung out with a thunderous roar. It was an attack containing the power of lightning.

Puchi!

The cultivator was instantly cleaved from the waist down.

“What are you doing? He must be possessed by the Deepsea Spectres!” The killed cultivator’s companions became infuriated and they charged towards Chen Feng, intending to attack him.

With a beckoning gesture, Chen Feng then caught a Deepsea Spectre. Next, he ignored the killed cultivator’s companions and left to continue hunting down the other Deepsea Spectres.

Compared to the various water yaos charging at them from the ocean, Chen Feng was clearly more interested in the Deepsea Spectres.

Chen Feng became like the wind, attacking with lightning-like speed to constantly find one Deepsea Spectre after another. He did not kill them. Instead, he suppressed them all inside the Longevity Tower.

Puchi!

Chen Feng finally made a minor mistake and one of the Deepsea Spectres was cleaved in half, its powers dispersing away.

Not wanting to let the powers go to waste, Chen Feng utilized the Demonic Heavengorging Art to devour the energy streams into his body.

There was no need to even circulate his primary energy. Instead, just his coursing blood streams was enough to refine and absorb the energy streams.

In addition to the power of water and shadows, there is another strange power. It is the result of combining two powers together. The power of darkness and nether power. Looks like these creatures are connected to the Nether Plane. Chen Feng came to understand more of the Deepsea Spectres.

Perhaps, it is time I head into the ocean to check it out. The thought rose to Chen Feng’s mind, but he did not immediately do that. Instead, he waved his hand and a sword beam swirled around as it shot forward. It was the Spiralling Sword Beam move.

Chen Feng’s comprehension of the Spiralling Sword Beam had grown much deeper. The spiralling energy streams that he fired out could easily destroy even a big mountain that was 500 kilometres away.

At that very moment, Sun Ming and his group were besieged by a wyrm. No matter how hard they tried, they were incapable of breaking out. The wyrm was a high-level Yao King; its body was like a wall while its aura was as powerful as a great river. In the face of its attacks, the defensive measures that Sun Ming’s group set up kept shrinking. It would appear that they would not be able to hold on for much longer and the yao beast would tear them to shreds.

1 li = 0.5 km. 1,000 li or 500 km could also mean far away.
