SFS Chapter 161 Crisis Resolved?
Chapter 161 Crisis Resolved?
Thinking of this, Ling Yu's eyes held a hint of amusement.
"This is a good opportunity to see which forces are making moves, and then we can teach them a lesson one by one..."
His anger intensified, and his voice boomed: "You beasts, how dare you slaughter my human cultivators and wreak havoc on this land!"
"If I don't tear you limb from limb today, I, Ling Yu, will be unworthy of being the Grand Elder of the Xuan Shui Palace!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yu flipped her wrist, and a broad black sword was already in her hand.
Its fierce blade shot skyward, stirring up the wind and clouds.
The venomous dragon let out a wild laugh, its vertical pupils filled with contempt:
"If the Palace Master of Xuan Shui Palace were to come in person, we would be somewhat afraid."
"You dare to spout such nonsense all by yourself right now?!"
It opened its huge mouth and spewed out a thick column of purple flames.
The Xuan Shui Ling Turtle beside him also snorted coldly, and the seawater within a hundred miles instantly froze into Xuan ice.
Xuanbing followed closely behind Duyan and pressed down hard on Lingyu.
However, Ling Yu moved with lightning speed, advancing instead of retreating.
He swung his broadsword, its black blade gleaming with unparalleled golden energy.
It actually cleaved the earth-shattering purple poisonous flames in two.
At the same time, he made a hand seal with his left hand, and a surge of powerful water elemental energy burst forth.
It transforms into a thousand layers of azure water curtains, overlapping and layering, welcoming the mysterious ice.
The water curtain appears gentle, yet it contains the meaning of yielding force with both gentleness and resilience.
The collision with the ice produced a deafening roar.
Ling Yu's sword strikes were wide and sweeping, each strike causing the venomous dragon's scales to shatter and its blood to splatter.
The water elemental power was used as if it were an extension of the arm, sometimes transforming into a tough water shield to resist the Xuan Turtle's ice cone storm.
Sometimes it would condense into thousands of water blades to work with the golden knife to annihilate the attacks of the two demons one by one.
He fought two early-stage Nascent Soul sea beasts single-handedly, and was not at a disadvantage at all. On the contrary, he became stronger and stronger as the battle progressed.
The battle lasted for about half an hour, and Ling Yu's golden and blue light remained dazzling, as steady as a mountain.
In contrast, both the Poisonous Dragon and the Mystic Water Spirit Turtle had numerous hideous wounds on their bodies, and their auras had clearly weakened.
The venomous dragon's eyes remained fierce, but now held a hint of surprise and doubt.
It had thought that with the two Nascent Soul cultivators working together, they would be able to suppress or even severely injure Ling Yu, but it never expected that the opponent's strength would be so terrifying.
"Roar!" The venomous dragon roared unwillingly, its massive body circling in the air, temporarily ceasing its attack.
The deep voice of the Mystic Water Spirit Turtle rang out: "Fellow Daoist Ling's strength is extraordinary; I admire it."
Its voice paused, tinged with a hint of probing:
"However... with only you, Fellow Daoist, I fear it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the cultivators in the inner sea of the Meteor Sea."
Your Highness, Palace Master Li Ming, has been in seclusion for nearly three hundred years, trying to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.
"I wonder how Senior Li Ming has been lately?"
Upon hearing this, the venomous dragon also raised its scales, staring intently at Ling Yu's reaction.
This is their true purpose in risking their invasion of the inland sea today.
To test the life or death status of Li Ming, the legendary master of Xuan Shui Palace.
Ling Yu sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.
He slowly sheathed his sword, the broad blade pointing diagonally towards the churning inky sea below, its golden and blue light flickering, making his figure appear even more majestic.
"Palace Master Li Ming is the pillar of my Xuan Shui Palace; how dare you presume to speculate about him?"
These simple words weighed even more heavily on the hearts of the Black Tortoise and the Poisonous Flood Dragon.
If Li Ming is unharmed, why doesn't Ling Yu simply announce that the Palace Master is safe and sound?
If Li Ming has already perished or failed, where does he get the confidence to be so tough?
The venomous dragon could no longer contain itself and hissed, "Ling Yu, stop playing tricks on me!"
Three hundred years without a word. How dangerous is it to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? Old man Li Ming must have already perished!
Otherwise, how could you be allowed to stand alone here today?!
A cold glint flashed in Ling Yu's eyes, and his broadsword trembled slightly, emitting a series of humming sounds.
"How dare you blaspheme the name of the Palace Master? If you dare to speak such nonsense again, I will risk my own life force to cut you all down with my blade!"
After a long pause, the deep voice of the Mystic Water Spirit Turtle rang out again, carrying a hint of compromise:
"Fellow Daoist Ling, please calm down. Palace Master Liming is a highly accomplished master of our time, and we naturally hope for his success. Today's events were due to our recklessness."
As soon as it finished speaking, its massive body began to slowly retreat.
Although the venomous dragon was unwilling, it could only let out a reluctant roar and slowly merge into the churning seawater, feeling the threat emanating from Ling Yu's black broadsword.
"Hmph!" Ling Yu snorted coldly, her voice booming like thunder.
"Anyone who dares to invade our human territory again will be executed without mercy!"
He did not pursue them, but stood on the waves with his sword in hand, watching the two Nascent Soul demon shadows depart.
Only after the auras of the two great demons completely disappeared from the range of divine sense did Ling Yu's tense body relax slightly.
He glanced down at the ruins of the island, which was almost completely destroyed, and frowned.
Then, with a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards Meteor City.
……
The setting sun, like blood, illuminated the massive protective light screen of Meteor City.
The ripples on it had not yet completely subsided, and the terrifying residual power of the distant Nascent Soul battle still lingered.
The atmosphere in the city was heavy. Many cultivators gathered on the city walls or high places, gazing towards the inner sea, trying to glean some clues from the chaotic celestial phenomena.
Just as the oppressive atmosphere in the city was about to reach its peak, a streak of light, blending gold and blue, tore through the chaotic sky.
The light was initially just a bright spot in the distant sky, but in an instant it descended upon the sky above Meteor City.
As the light dissipated, Ling Yu, though deliberately concealing his aura, remained like an invisible mountain, suppressing all the unrest in the city.
At this moment, Zhou Caisheng of the Meteorite Merchant Guild, a Core Formation female cultivator from the Illusionary Sound Sect whose face was covered by a light veil, and representatives of several other major forces in the city had already gathered here.
Ling Yu's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and he said in a deep voice, "The two Nascent Soul sea beasts have been repelled by me."
"The damage to the inner sea and surrounding areas was severe; islands such as Gui Island and Xiaochun Island have been razed to the ground."
Effective immediately, Meteor City is under Level 1 alert; all entry and exit will be subject to strict checks.
Everyone agreed and hurriedly left to carry out their orders.
Zhou Caisheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his mind racing as he considered how to mobilize resources and maximize his profits.
Seeing that the crisis had temporarily passed, Chen Xu was preparing to return to the floating island cave when he discovered that Nan Longyue was standing not far away.
Her face was pale and her eyes were bloodshot, clearly she had just been crying.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xu sighed inwardly.
Gui Island and Xiaochun Island have been razed to the ground. The Nan family has lived on Gui Island for generations, and after this catastrophe, they are likely...
Sensing the gaze, Nan Longyue slowly turned her head to look at Chen Xu.
She quickly took a few steps closer, bowed deeply to Chen Xu, and her voice was pleading:
"Senior Xu..."
"I...I want to go back to Gui Island..."
Chen Xu remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly:
"At this moment, Gui Island has just experienced a great battle, and the residual power has not yet dissipated. There may be spatial instability and the rampant spread of residual demonic power. We must act with caution."
Let me make some preparations, and then I'll go with you. We can also visit other islands and find some seafood.
