Chapter 694: Solved in One Move

Chapter 694: Chapter 391: Solved in One Move

Looking at the sea beasts gathering outside the beach, Huang An said with some concern, “Right now is not the time for them to explode in number. The momentum of this gathering is obviously greater than before, it seems sacrifices are inevitable this time.”

“The Sect Leaders of the other sects are leading their disciples here. I’ve heard that recently, Zhenren Wu Feng developed a new array that is more powerful than previous ones. It will surely shine in the process of resisting the sea beasts.”

“Let’s hope so.”

As more and more sea beasts approached, two more groups arrived from beyond the East Sea, distinguished by their yellow and blue robes.

Master Huang An, being a cultivator from the East Sea, immediately recognized where these two groups came from.

The yellow robes were the Yellow Robe Sect, and the blue robes belonged to the sect of Zhenren Wu Feng, as mentioned by Zhenren Ci Xin just now.

“My fellow taoists, I apologize for being late.” Zhenren Wu Feng laughed as he landed.

This person was markedly different from other cultivators. While others carried flying swords on their backs, he uniquely carried eight long banners, held a compass in his hand, and had several gourds strapped to his waist, as if he were moving house.

“I’ve heard that recently Zhenren Wu Feng developed a new array. Today we hope to see it in action,” Master Huang An inquired.

“Sure, sure, I come from an array lineage. With a new array, how could I not use it right away? Later, you all can watch my moves,” Zhenren Wu Feng said confidently.

Seeing his demeanor, the others felt slightly relieved. In the face of the sea beast army, the cultivators of the East Sea had already set aside their mutual antagonisms and chose to unite. Should anyone possess a powerful means, other cultivators would feel happy and excited about it.

Gradually, time passed like burning incense, and the sea beasts had completely occupied the surface of the sea, leaving no gaps. If they attacked in unison and there were no defenses, this small coastal town would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Originally, there were many small fishing villages in the East Sea, but since the start of the Immortal Blood contamination, sea beasts became the primary adversaries of the fishermen. To form a force to resist the sea beasts, many fishing boats opted to migrate together, forming a united group. Over time, they turned into this large town, and cultivators like Master Huang An would select talented disciples from here to join their sects.

Thus, this town is considered a talent nursery base for the sects of the East Sea. Such an important place must be protected.

As the saying goes, having talent breeds prosperity for a sect. If even the place to recruit disciples is gone, where would these cultivators of the East Sea find disciples to replenish their sects?

Buzz!!!

As a giant shark surfaced, the war between sea beasts and cultivators was instantly triggered.

The shark had three heads, clearly an aberration infected by Immortal Blood, possessing formidable strength within its body.

Zhenren Wu Feng had already arranged his array. After planting the flags he carried on the beach, he placed a compass at the center of the grand array, where a gourd also lay.

All the sea beasts frantically leaped towards the beach, those without crawling ability used their bellies to bounce powerfully on the sand, quickly throwing themselves towards the defense line formed by the East Sea cultivators.

When the first reckless sea beast rushed into Zhenren Wu Feng’s array, his face instantly bore a mysterious smile as he activated the grand array he had set up.

Buzz!

Each flag’s surface shone with a dazzling golden light, shooting a golden line as thick as a fist toward the array’s center, immediately connecting the eight golden lines to the gourd, which spun rapidly. One after another, headless white blobs flew out from the gourd, covering the sea beasts.

These white blobs had no faces but were human-like in body, albeit very small. Under Zhenren Wu Feng’s control, each sea beast’s head was perfectly enveloped by a white blob. Zhenren Wu Feng immediately shouted, “Treasures, please assist!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The white blobs twisted instantly, bringing a streak of blood red light back into the gourd.

Leaving behind only headless corpses of sea beasts.

Afterward, no matter how many sea beasts came, as long as they dared to rush into the array, they would all have their heads severed by the faceless little men. The power of this sight left Master Huang An and the others standing behind in silent awe.

The power of the array lies in its ability to unleash immense force with the strength of one person. As long as Zhenren Wu Feng’s inner spiritual power remains unexhausted, he can, with this new array, single-handedly rival the incoming sea beasts of the East Sea.

“It seems we can rest easy for a while,” Zhenren Ci Xin smiled.

“Don’t let your guard down. Sea beasts are incredibly cunning, not to mention some possess strength comparable to or even greater than ours. We must always be ready to rush in and assist Zhenren Wu Feng,” Master Huang An responded.

Zhenren Wu Feng stood within the array, only to see him take another gourd from his waist and toss it into the air. The gourd entered the array, quickly positioning itself above the gourd on the compass, stacking upon it like a tower.

In an instant, more and more white blobs appeared within the array. No matter how massive the number of sea beasts rushing in, they could not break through Zhenren Wu Feng’s personal defense line.

The bodies of sea beasts gradually piled into a mountain within the array. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the corpse mountain was violently blown away. A giant sea turtle, a zhang in length, crawled in from behind the corpse mountain, and with a loud roar, spewed a torrent of seawater in a dragon-like spiral directly at Zhenren Wu Feng, who was controlling the array.

“Quick, help him,” Master Huang An reacted swiftly. With a quick leap, he stabbed his long sword at the sea turtle.

Array cultivators have great destructive power over a wide area, but for individual combat strength, sword cultivators are superior.

Master Huang An stabbed his sword and simultaneously performed a Taoist skill, releasing a sword light from his flying sword that slashed onto the sea turtle’s forehead.

“Ugh!” Sea turtle-type sea beasts may have the highest defense among sea beasts, but the defense of its head pales in comparison to its shell. Master Huang An struck accurately, creating a deep wound in the turtle’s forehead, exposing its brain.

With tacit cooperation, Zhenren Wu Feng sent a white blob into the turtle’s brain, and in the next moment, this sea beast, too, lost its head.

The coverage range of the Array is ultimately limited. With the number of sea beasts emerging from the East Sea increasing, Wu Feng Zhenren’s Array could no longer withstand all of them. These sea beasts began advancing from both sides of the Array, prompting Master Huang An, Zhenren Ci Xin, and the Yellow Robe Sect’s Yellow Robe Zhenren to lead their disciples into battle against the sea beast army.

In an instant, the scene turned chaotic, blood flowed like rivers, and the beach was stained into a bloodbath, evidencing the heavy casualties.

Master Huang An and Zhenren Ci Xin, these two Sword Cultivators, fought with exceptional ruthlessness, while Yellow Robe Zhenren excelled in Illusion Technique. A single palm strike could enchant dozens of sea beasts to turn their backs, causing them to fight for the Human Race and attack their own kind.

Under the leadership of these four Zhenren, not a single sea beast managed to breach the cultivators’ defense line to approach the fishing village after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

In such a chaotic situation, no one noticed a youth with celestial appearance standing still at the corner of the battlefield, watching the battle between the East Sea cultivators and the sea beasts with keen eyes.

“Indeed, each region nurtures its own people. The East Sea cultivators here have battle experience surpassing Central Plains cultivators by a wide margin,” Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.

Originally, he intended to investigate the sects on the East Sea first, thinking about where to start, but unexpectedly, he witnessed such an intense battle upon his arrival.

“These four cultivators are the strongest here, ranking above Qingyun and Zheng Shi in my view.” After observing for a while, Qin Yuesheng finally decided to act.

With a slight movement of his body, Inner Strength surged between his palms. Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and a figure appeared at the deepest position at the front line.

Under the gaze of all, Qin Yuesheng pressed both hands fiercely onto the ground. Misty ice and steaming flames erupted from beneath the beach, enveloping the entire area.

Every sea beast within was either frozen into ice blocks or burnt into charcoal, and none could escape.

“This person’s strength is formidable!” Master Huang An’s blood-stained face couldn’t hide his outright shock.

Wu Feng Zhenren was similarly astounded. Before Qin Yuesheng, his Array seemed utterly mundane and irrelevant.

When the flames dissipated, the sea beast army was completely annihilated, and a crisis was effortlessly resolved under Qin Yuesheng’s hands.

A gust of wind passed, leaving the beach in quiet serenity, void of any sound.

For months, these East Sea cultivators fought against the sea beasts and battled maritime storms, hardening themselves with seasoned hearts, yet none had ever witnessed such a scene.

For someone to single-handedly destroy the largest sea beast congregation in months with just their palms, who would believe it without seeing it?

Qin Yuesheng turned to the East Sea cultivators and said calmly, “I invite the sect leaders among you to come forward to speak with me. Rest assured, I mean no harm to you.”

Master Huang An and others exchanged glances, then promptly stepped out from the crowd, clasping fists towards Qin Yuesheng, expressing gratitude, “Thank you for your assistance.”

“You’re welcome. Could you show me to a quiet place with fewer people? I have matters to discuss with you.”

“Please follow me.”

Witnessing Qin Yuesheng’s demonstration of strength, anyone could see he was an existence beyond their realm. Under such circumstances, who would dare reject Qin Yuesheng’s request?

Under the watchful eyes of disciples from various sects, Qin Yuesheng followed the four Zhenren to a distant location, separating themselves by a considerable distance, making it impossible for anyone to overhear their conversation.

Zhenren Ci Xin directly asked, “This gentleman doesn’t seem to be one of our East Sea cultivators, does he?”

“Why do you say so?”

“East Sea inhabitants, growing up amidst the harsh sea winds, have considerably coarse skin. Even becoming cultivators and refining Spiritual Power can’t compensate, while your skin is in excellent condition, unlikely to be an East Sea resident.”

Qin Yuesheng nodded, “Indeed, I am not. I come from the Central Plains.”

“Is there something you’re seeking in the East Sea? Please share, and we will do our utmost to assist you,” said Master Huang An.

In the East Sea, all kinds of treasures and rare materials are in the sea, so he naturally assumed Qin Yuesheng sought something here.

“No, no, you’ve misunderstood.” Qin Yuesheng swept his gaze over the four Zhenren and then revealed his intentions.

“I am the Sect Leader of ‘Qin Sect,’ the foremost sect of Jiangnan and Central Plains. This time I’ve come to the East Sea to subjugate all the cultivator sects here to serve me. You four are sect leaders; you can choose right now—submit to me or wait for me to pay a visit myself.”

Qin Yuesheng’s statement sent chills down the spines of Master Huang An and his associates, cold sweat dripping unexpectedly from their backs.

It’s unexpected that this youth harbors such intentions.

What should we do now?

Everyone knew they couldn’t match Qin Yuesheng, even if they joined forces, they might not withstand a single move from him.

The opponent’s power was already beyond their comprehension.

“Could, could you allow me a few days to consider?” Wu Feng Zhenren wiped his face and asked.

“I don’t think that’s necessary. Since all of you sect leaders are gathered here today, why not give me an answer now and save me from visiting each sect individually?” Qin Yuesheng smiled.
