Chapter 220: Sea Monster

stage of Qi Refinement, and in actuality, his combat power surpassed that of late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators by quite a bit. In addition to this, he possessed the Blazing Flame Separation Fire Sw...In fact, Lu Xiaoteng's Huitian Dan had already been consumed. Using the Chiyan Lifire Sword was a considerable burden on him. However, his experiences over the past few years were extraordinary. Whether it was eliminating the thunderous power comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator before or the tempering he underwent in the battle with the golden puppet, although his cultivation speed was incredibly slow afterward, in terms of the purity and refinement of his mana, he was actually stronger than people like Tao Feng. Therefore, even using the Chiyan Lifire Sword, he could endure for a considerable amount of time. Of course, the reason Lu Xiaoteng was so unrestrained was that he had only used a small fraction of his true strength.

The Frost Desolation Seal, coupled with the Blazing Inferno Sword. The Frost Desolation Seal alone would require a cultivator of the same rank to exert their full strength to deal with it. And behind it is an even more powerful sword that is simply not something a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator can match head-on.

After realizing Lu Xiaotian's threat, the exposed woman, the cyan crab demon, and the injured dark-clothed dwarf fought against Lu Xiaotian simultaneously. The other members of the Eight Evildoers of Tuo Ling were each fighting fiercely with Jin Yue, Tao Jing, Zong Qing, and a black panther released by Zong Qing.

This azure demonic crab was merely a fourth-order demonic beast, equivalent to the early stages of foundation building. Lu Xiaotian's lips curled into a smirk. He was about to unleash his divine sense attack, Bing Po Xuan Yin, to disable the crab's ability to restrain him and then strike down the robed dwarf. With the three of them working together, their efforts would be in vain. It would only take a blink of an eye to kill the rest of them.

"Gentlemen, please hold! We are now at a stalemate. Why must we fight to the death when we can cooperate and take that demon pill and the red bamboo coral" The bare-chested man, surrounded by Lu Qing and his companions, spoke out in an attempt to make peace.

"You were the one who set the trap before, and now you're the one who wants to reconcile. Who knows if what you say is true or false." Zong Sheng said angrily.

"There are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. Just me and the Seven Dwarfs, oh, now it should be the Six. Those Red Jade Coral treasures are beyond my reach, but if we join forces, there's still a way. What do you think Let's divide the treasure, and then decide our ranking later." The shirtless man let out a hearty laugh. Although one of them was dead, he didn't care much. Compared to the treasures they were about to get, it was nothing.

“Big brother Tao, Sister Luo, Brother Lu, I feel like this person makes some sense. Even if we seek revenge for our fellow disciples, waiting until after we obtain the treasure and then taking action is just a matter of time anyway. What do you think” Tao Feng’s face showed some excitement.

"Agree!" Lu Xia Tian, of course, agreed. Luo Qing didn't suffer any losses; she only brought one apprentice with her, and Jin Yue remained unharmed, so naturally, she agreed as well.

Although Zong Sheng was furious, he could also see the situation clearly. Even if he fought to the death with the remaining seven members of the Camel Ridge Gang, his energy would be depleted and he still wouldn't be able to obtain the treasure.

After making up their minds, both sides simultaneously stopped fighting and retreated to a certain distance, warily watching each other.

"I haven't met such skilled youngsters in a long time." The burly man touched his chest, the other side had consumed quite a bit of energy, but he was simultaneously facing several people. In reality, it wasn't as effortless as it looked on the surface.

"Hmph, cut the crap. You say you have a way to deal with those invisible monster beasts, what's your plan" Zong Sheng snorted.

“Actually, I only thought of this after seeing your Stone Ape. We can each use our swords and knives from afar to cut the Red Coral Bamboo apart. Then you can use that heavily-defended Stone Ape, and my Blue Crab to retrieve the Red Coral Bamboo.” The shirtless man didn't have any better ideas either.

"In that case, wouldn't my Stone Apes be in danger of losing out, and wouldn't I also miss out on those treasures" Zong Sheng looked at the burly man with a sinister gaze.

"If you want to obtain treasures, you can't avoid some risks. There's no other way. Those monsters are invisible and intangible, unless you want to try it yourself." The woman, linked arm-in-arm with the burly man, replied dismissively.

"Your blue crab is no match for my stone ape. Even if we have to split, my side deserves the bigger share. I get seven, you get three!"

"Alright, then it's seven for you and three for me. I'll use the Dan Yuan refining method. When we've refined the Dan Yuan, we'll split the profits right here." The burly man grinned.

“This time, I put in the most effort, I deserve at least one drop of Dan Yuan, and the Red Bamboo Coral should be one-third of my share.” After confirming the division of spoils with Tong Guang's burly companion, Zong Sheng turned to Tao Feng, Lu Xia Tian, and the others.

“Could it be that Elder Zong truly believes these remaining Seven Wonders of the Camel Ridge will treat us with courtesy after they succeed” Tao Feng transmitted in a sarcastic voice.

“What do you mean, Tao brother” Zongsheng’s face changed slightly.

“What could it mean Naturally, after we succeed, we’ll kill the Seven Devils of Tuomeng and then divide the spirit objects. Otherwise, if the demon pill falls into this shirtless man's hands, he can just walk away, and we won't be able to catch up to him, let alone stop him. Killing the remaining few wouldn't help either.” Tao Feng said coldly.

Luo Qing and Lu Xiaoteng agreed with Tao Feng's statement in the flyer. In fact, just now, one person from Moyang Sect and one person from Man Beast Sect died at each other's hands. The blood feud between the two sides had already been established. These seven strange people of Tuo Ling came from Nanhua cultivators, and there were conflicts of interest. Any point, both sides had no possibility of getting along well.

After reaching an agreement, the two groups parted ways. Although the fighting had temporarily ceased, neither side relaxed their vigilance.

“Among us, Land Brother and Sister Luo have the strongest attack power. Furthermore, Land Brother has a powerful divine sense, so it was thanks to both of you that we were able to cut those red bamboo corals from afar.” Tao Feng looked at Lu Xiaottian and Luo Shimei with inquiring eyes.

Although Tao Feng always used a consultative approach to everything, he intentionally and unintentionally established his leadership position within the team. Lu Xia Tian smiled inwardly, as long as it didn't touch on his interests, letting him have some limelight wouldn't be a problem.

Although his cultivation base was a bit stronger than Tao Feng and Luo Qing, using the Burning Flame Separation Fire Sword still consumed a lot of energy. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't want people to know that he had already reached the later stage of foundation building as a body cultivator. Lu Xiaoxiao directly summoned the Earth Splitting Knife, cutting through the rocks where the Red Bamboo Coral grew from thousands of meters away with the knife. He wanted to uproot the Red Bamboo Coral.

Luo Qing was slightly surprised. At such a distance, Lu Xia Tian could still control the magic weapon with ease. This strength of divine sense was even stronger than hers, probably comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had just entered the later stage. However, although her divine sense was not as strong as Lu Xia Tian's, she also had her own way. A slight curl appeared at the corner of Luo Qing's mouth. She stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Xia Tian and with a flick of her wrist, a path of moonlight formed a channel of moonlit light. The silver flying sword shot out from the moonlit channel, moving in tandem with Lu Xia Tian. This was the beauty of the Yue Ling Sword Body, which, when combined with one's own cultivation technique, could maximize one's strength.

Lu Xia Tian was also a little surprised. Luo Qing's silver sword wasn't a Dan Yuan magic weapon, but its sharpness actually surpassed the Cracking Earth Blade by a few points. The Cracking Earth Blade already belonged to the top-tier attacking magic weapons. Even the Blazing Flame and Fire Sword, if not refined with Dan Yuan, would be slightly inferior to the Cracking Earth Blade. After all, gold-type magic weapons were the most outstanding in terms of sharpness alone. Unexpectedly, Luo Qing actually had this level of skill.

On the other side, apart from Guangban Hanzi himself, no one else possessed such strength. Guangban Hanzi controlled the chain hammer, striking the rocks beneath the red bamboo coral with hammer after hammer. The commotion caused by these blows was far greater than that of Lu Xiaoteng and Luo Qing combined. This expanse of lakebed seemed to tremble with every blow Guangban Hanzi delivered.

It seemed that the monsters near the red coral bamboo had been alarmed and were trying to attack the chain hammer, as well as Lu Xia Tian and Luo Qing's magical weapons. However, after a series of clangs, the Splitting Earth Blade and silver longsword, due to being repeatedly struck by La Er, became unsteady. Although they were hindered, Luo Qing and the others could no longer cut through the rocks beneath the red coral bamboo as efficiently as before. Lu Xia Tian, however, felt a surge of joy instead of anger. The invisible monsters' attack on the Splitting Earth Blade just now, while powerful, was not significantly different from the attacks of top-tier magical weapons. It was insufficient to break through the defenses of Huo Jiao's scales, nor could it pose a fatal threat to his physical body. After figuring out their strength, Lu Xia Tian felt much more confident.

There seems to be a dark current flowing towards everyone in the lake.

"Oh no, those monsters are coming towards us." Both groups present simultaneously changed color.

Lu Xiaoteng had the ability to sense water droplets, making him more sensitive to subtle changes in the lake water. However, the remaining six members of the駝嶺 Seven Monsters also seemed to have sensed this, and they cried out in alarm. Even though they could feel the ripples in the lake more easily, fear spread through them faster than anything else.

Luo Qing seemed to sense the threat approaching, and with a flick of his hand, he threw out a purple bell. It swayed lightly, emitting a purple light curtain that enveloped several people within it.

Puppies...

Dozens of glittering spikes struck the light curtain.

“Senior Sister Luo, you’re really amazing.” Jin Yue, as Luo Qing’s junior sister, hid among them and couldn’t help but excitedly say, but before she could finish her words, she saw Luo Qing’s face turn slightly pale.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As for other places, howls echoed incessantly. The shirtless man, relying on his acute awareness of danger, swung his chain hammer, unleashing dozens of hammer shadows that dispersed the threats emerging from the water.

Tao Feng and Zong Sheng each did their best, but in the end they could not protect everyone. In the blink of an eye, one of the Seven Wonders of Tuo Ling died tragically. The previous one-armed elder was also injured, with a crystal sharp thorn half-inserted into his abdomen, blood mixing with the lake water.

Tao Feng's cousin, Tao Jing, was also pierced in the left shoulder by a sharp crystal spike at this time. The casualties were still mounting.

Luo Qing could see that she was struggling. She didn't have water pearls, so she couldn't sense the threat from the water very clearly. Therefore, she could only use this defense method with no blind spots, at the cost of consuming too much mana. If her mana was depleted too much, it would be extremely detrimental to her later duels.

Lu Xia Tian saw Luo Qing struggling quite a bit, so he didn't hesitate any longer. He took out the Fire Jiao Scale Armor and put it on, then stepped forward two paces to stand in front of Luo Qing and Jin Yue.

Luo Qing's Zi Ling shot ice spikes through the thinning light barrier. Ding ding ding, a dozen or so struck the fire-clad armor, but failed to pierce it. Lu Xiao Tian held his Earth Splitting Blade, blocking the vital points on his head.

“This person actually has such formidable defensive armor! Looking at the breath of those red scales, it's at least the scales of a Golden Core stage serpent, or a dragon. It takes such powerful defensive capabilities.” Not only Tao Feng, but Zong Sheng was also shocked, and the light-clad man’s eyes revealed greed. If he had such formidable armor, among cultivators of the same rank, he could run rampant. Few would be able to confront him head-on. At this moment, he swung his chain hammer continuously, and the consumption of mana was also extremely terrifying.”

"Who has a net-like magic weapon" Lu Xia Tian didn't have the energy to pay attention to these people's thoughts, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Me, I have!" Jin Yue hurriedly replied.

This is a placeholder for content.

"Southeast, cast the net!" Lu Xia Tian spoke in a low voice, pulling Luo Qing over. He changed directions, ten or so crystal spikes shot out from the water. Now he had grasped the opponent's attack pattern. They mainly relied on these spikes, powerful and invisible. They were undetectable unless touched.

As Lu Xiaoteng changed direction, Jin Yue, who was hiding behind him, was temporarily out of danger. He felt relieved and, according to Lu Xiaoteng's instructions, cast the net in the direction those crystal spikes had just come from.

"The net was weighed down." Jin Yue felt a heavy pull in her hands, as if something was struggling desperately, like a fish caught in a net dragging it forward. But its strength was thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of a fish. She alone couldn't hold on, and Luo Qing beside her came to help in time, only then could they barely match the power of the demon beast trapped in the net.

Everyone stared intently, and saw in the net a sphere as transparent as water. The surface of the sphere was covered with long, short, dense and densely packed spikes, intimidating spikes within which a pair of sinister eyes were staring at Lu Xiaoteng and the others, causing bursts of screams.

“It’s actually a demonic sea urchin, with the ability to hide. It should be a mutated sea urchin. This place is truly sinister. How could there be such a troublesome monster!” Zong Sheng exclaimed in dismay.

"Take him down, carefully, don't damage the net." Lu Xiaoteng said in a low voice. In fact, as long as he didn't make too big of a hole, just a little bit of damage, the Yao Hai Dan could still be contained with its size. But if it was completely torn apart, without the restraint of the large net, the Yao Hai Dan would disappear back into the lake water, and no one present would be able to do anything about it.

On the other side, the Eight Eccentrics of Tuo Ridge didn't have such skills. The shirtless man roared repeatedly, often knocking down those incoming spikes, and when he attacked again, the Sea Demon Clam had already changed its position. However, afterward, the remaining six eccentrics of Tuo Ridge, except for the shirtless man, also became smarter. Every time the shirtless man scattered those transparent spikes, the other five would control their magic weapons and charge in the direction the spikes came from. The five magic weapons didn't aim to kill the Sea Demon Clam in one go, they just wanted to force it to reveal its true form. Although the Sea Demon Clam was fast, it missed several times, but it also had lucky moments, exposing itself to a willow leaf dart fired by the woman, successfully hitting one Sea Demon Clam.ly began to retreat. Various magical treasures were used in succession, even under the onslaught of the hordes of Qihuang Slime Rats. Although it caused some trouble for the cultivators, it could not...
