Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 1224 - 1221: Flooding Group Dragon Island, Exposed!Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble...
Just as Luo Feng and Su Zhuyun finished speaking, the once quiet ocean at dusk suddenly emitted waves of powerful tides.
The sound of the tides surged unpredictably, resembling thunderclaps falling from the sky, causing the entire island to tremble slightly. A fierce wind rose at an unknown time, swaying the trees back and forth, seeming as if they could snap at any moment.
"What’s happening?"
Several female disciples from Jade Hall exchanged glances with each other.
"Let’s go check it out."
Luo Feng left a single sentence, performing the Sky Cloud Step, and soared up into the sky, gazing into the distance with narrowed eyes.
Swish swish swish...
Yue Haitang, Jiang Fengfeng, and others followed suit. Seeing the scene before them, each was visibly shocked, speechless.
The previously clear sky had somehow become overcast, with dense dark clouds enveloping the heavens, and massive electric serpents darting through the clouds, seemingly threatening to split the earth open.
Looking ahead, the sea surface over a dozen miles away was a chaos of immense waves, with gigantic waterspouts raging across it. The sight was like the arrival of doomsday.
Most terrifying of all, many gigantic shadows could be vaguely seen within the waves, the formidable aura inducing a sense of awe even in Luo Feng.
"A tsunami!"
"How did a tsunami break out so suddenly, without any warning signs?"
"So many demon beasts, there must be thousands of them."
"Not good, it seems the tsunami has triggered a beast tide!"
The astonishing commotion had long since alarmed those on the island, with martial artists continuously rushing into the air. The sounds of sharp cries filled the air; seeing the surging waves, everyone was filled with dread.
Boom!
The waves moved with incredible speed, crashing over within mere breaths, slamming against the island with deafening booms, raising massive water curtains.
If not for the unique geology of Group Dragon Island, this impact would have likely shattered the twelve small islands completely.
Ah!
The waves’ impact on the island formed whirlpools, tearing the heavens and earth. An unprepared young spearman was caught in the currents, unable to stabilize himself, and began tumbling downward.
Swish! Silently, a transparent tentacle emerged from the waves, instantly shredding the young spearman’s protective Gang energy, piercing into his chest. The previously transparent tentacle turned a bright, glaring red in the blink of an eye, with visible blood flowing through it, the spearman’s body withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Saver..."
Watching as his body became skin and bones, the young spearman could no longer remain calm, his eyes widened as he screamed in terror. However, just as he uttered the first word, his entire being turned into a dried corpse, vanishing into the waves.
"Demon beasts in the waves! Everyone, get to the shore. Ah..."
"Everyone, be careful, don’t get close to the shore!"
"Save me!"
The gang wind in the sky was too fierce for everyone to maintain their stability, forcing them ashore.
By now, much of the small island had been submerged. With each wave crash, herds of demon beasts were swept onto the island, causing cries and roars to rise and fall across the twelve small islands, punctuated by occasional shrill screams, casting everything into chaos.
"Spring Breeze-as-Heart-Wills Saber!"
Drawing the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, it transformed into a crimson arc, sweeping across to cleave in half several monstrous fish launched from the waves, blood gushing out and staining the waters in large swathes of red.
"Come near me."
After slaying the attacking monstrous fish, Luo Feng turned to the five Jade Hall disciples and said.
"Thank you."
The five female disciples of Jade Hall were extremely grateful. They were only ordinary inner sect disciples of Jade Hall, with the highest cultivation among them merely at the peak of the six-fold Spiritual Rotation Realm. It was already difficult to maintain their balance amidst the Gang wind, and encountering demon beast attacks would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous. Without hesitation, they swiftly gathered behind Luo Feng.
Hiss!
Yue Haitang pierced through a monstrous fish with blood-red fangs with a single sword strike, coming to Luo Feng’s side, frowning as she looked at the turbulent waves.
"Strange, I’ve experienced tsunamis before, but they were never this terrifying, nor did they trigger a beast tide."
Su Zhuyun continued, "Many of these are deep-sea demon beasts, certainly, this isn’t a normal tsunami. I fear something is occurring in the endless sea."
Luo Feng nodded, agreeing with Su Zhuyun. Under the perception of soul power, these demon beasts appeared extremely panicked, something major must be happening.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a whistling sound of wind came from afar, six shadows soared into the sky from a small island, trailing ribbons of rainbow-colored light, their sharpness tearing apart the surrounding water curtains.
Luo Feng squinted, recognizing the six as none other than the six hall masters of the Golden Palace, led by Shui Qingcheng, a peerless beauty standing on a nine-colored mystic lotus, radiating brilliance.
"The six hall masters are here!"
Seeing the six appear, the previously panicked martial artists on the islands visibly calmed down.
Bang!
Shui Qingcheng waved her water sleeve, casting a glow to smash a nearby waterspout, pulverizing the countless demon beasts inside, and turning the splattered waters a blinding red.
Shifting her gaze, Shui Qingcheng spoke:
"Everyone, this tsunami is no ordinary event, and there’s no telling how long it will last. Staying here will only become increasingly dangerous. Besides the disciples of the six major Golden Palaces, everyone else can head to the Dragon Boat to return to the bay. Once ashore, you should be safe."
After a pause, Shui Qingcheng ordered, "The disciples of the six major Golden Palaces will remain to fend off the demon beasts until everyone leaves Group Dragon Island."
In these brief moments, thousands had already perished, and everyone knew Shui Qingcheng’s words were no exaggeration. Upon hearing this, a martial artist immediately shouted:
"Everyone, follow me! Let’s fight our way out!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Immediately, countless martial artists surged from the islands, their momentum swelling like a torrent towards the direction of the Dragon Boat.
In the sky, Jade Hall Master Zi Qiuyu glanced at the chaotic scene below, exhaling, "Fortunately, the New Dragon List Tournament has ended, otherwise, the tournament might not proceed smoothly."
Yuangang Hall Master Tu Wanshan frowned, "In past tsunami outbreaks, there would be warnings half a day in advance. This time it suddenly erupted, triggering a beast tide, it’s really strange. Who knows what’s happening in the endless ocean."
"I’ll go investigate."
Shui Qingcheng said a word, her fair palm grabbing in the air, capturing a ball of seawater into mid-air.
The water ball shimmered with a faint Seven-Colored Mysterious Light, with strands of purple thunder dancing on the surface. As Shui Qingcheng’s hand gestures changed, within a few blinks of an eye, it transformed into a humanoid figure, whose facial features and even clothing were identical to Shui Qingcheng, but with a somewhat vacant look in its eyes.
"Go!"
Following the command, the water-formed figure soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
"Soul Incarnation, Spirit Division Realm!"
Witnessing the distant figure, Tu Wanshan and the other five all turned pale, their gazes towards Shui Linglong filled with astonishment.
They had vaguely heard that Shui Linglong was once an outstanding genius of the nine sacred lands, later leaving due to unknown reasons and becoming the Hall Master of Linglong Hall.
This mysterious woman, whose strength had always been an enigma, had been speculated by the five Hall Masters to be a mid to late Yuan Sea Realm expert. Today, they caught a glimpse of her full potential, revealing her as a Spirit Division Realm powerhouse!
The five exchanged looks of disbelief; a Spirit Division Realm powerhouse was rare even among the nine sacred lands. Considering Shui Qingcheng’s age, she was undoubtedly an extraordinary talent in the sacred lands.
Shui Qingcheng, uninterested in their gazes, glanced at the situation on the islands below and said:
"Let’s also take action; I’m afraid they can’t hold out alone."
"Mm."
The six Golden Palace Hall Masters took action, selectively slaying level nine Demon Beasts, leaving the sub-nine-level beasts for the disciples of the various Golden Palaces to deal with, as a form of trial.
With the spectators of the New Dragon Ranking Tournament departing, the pressure on the six Golden Palaces’ disciples instantly increased.
Numerous Demon Beasts surrounded the twelve small islands tightly, continually being swept ashore by the waves, while others charged directly, blotting out the sky. The Golden Palace disciples on each island formed formations, and the two sides immediately engaged in fierce battle, the sound of killing shook the heavens.
"Step of Sky-Burning Monarch!"
Luo Feng and others found themselves in intense combat, their True Yuan boiling, as golden flames ignited on Luo Feng’s body, taking a step forward.
Boom!
The golden flames surged forward like fiery waves, forcing the beast tide that had reached the shore back into the sea. The aftermath continued, forming a nearly hundred-meter-long fiery zone on the sea surface, shocking to behold.
"Cloud Stack Thousandfold!"
With a sharp look, Yue Haitang wielded her treasured sword, releasing massive Sword Qi in a precipitous wave, instantly striking into the densest area of Demon Beasts.
Swish swish swish swish swish swish...
Layer upon layer of Sword Qi seemed to stretch a Sword Qi curtain across the heavens and earth. The hundred-meter-wide coast ahead was entirely under the Sword Qi’s cover; the powerful Demon Beasts charging ashore hadn’t time to unleash their might before being shredded to pieces.
Su Zhuyun and Jiang Fengfeng didn’t leave either, evidently not having given up on Yue Haitang. They observed her battle while also striking to kill Demon Beasts.
Even as a spectator, Luo Feng couldn’t help but admire the exquisite swordsmanship of the duo. Every move contained not a single superfluous action, with each strike decisively slaying a Demon Beast.
"Seven Stars Destruction!"
Nearby, Jiang Fengfeng emitted sharpness, stepping on Seven Stars, her figure transforming, as refined Sword Gang erupted from her treasured sword, piercing the void seven times in an instant.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The sound of explosions rang out, the sea surface bursting into seven massive waves, tearing all Demon Beasts within its range to shreds.
"Hmph!"
Glancing at Luo Feng, Jiang Fengfeng raised her eyebrows, quite intent on showing off.
Luo Feng paid no attention to Jiang Fengfeng’s provocation. Truthfully, with his cultivation reaching the peak of True Yuan Realm’s second layer, he felt confident that even if he couldn’t win against Jiang Fengfeng, he wouldn’t lose.
But now wasn’t the time for rivalry; the longer these two lingered here, the higher the risk of Yue Haitang being exposed.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo...
Just as Luo Feng considered asking Jiang Fengfeng and Su Zhuyun why they hadn’t left Group Dragon Island yet, a strong wind suddenly arose around, the waves intensifying severalfold.
Not far away, a water tornado, hundreds of meters tall, connecting heaven and earth, surged towards them, its waves brimming with Demon Qi, with countless shadows faintly visible within.
"Be careful!"
Luo Feng warned, without hesitation flipping the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, creating streaks of thunder and lightning in the surrounding void, slashing towards the water tornado.
"Summer Thunder Falling from the Sky Saber!"
Crack!
The blade containing thunderbolt intent swept out, instantly slashing the water tornado into four segments. Demon Beast corpses and blood fell from the sky, raining down blood and scattering limbs everywhere.
Five female disciples from the Jade Hall watched in shock. When viewing Luo Feng’s saber technique from the spectator seats, it seemed impressive, but standing beside Luo Feng now, it was an entirely different experience.
At the moment Luo Feng executed his saber technique, their minds were involuntarily drawn into its intent realm, unable to summon a trace of resistance. If they were enemies, at that moment, they could only stand dumbfounded, ready to be slaughtered!
This wasn’t just simply impressive.
Chirp!
As the five were lost in thought, a nearby fallen piece of flesh suddenly emitted a sharp screech.
The next moment!
Swish swish swish swish...
Eyes and tendrils suddenly grew from the flesh, attacking the five Jade Hall female disciples with an unstoppable speed.
The tendrils were dark red, their ends a maw filled with rows of sharp teeth, gleaming with cold light.
"Ah!"
The tendrils moved incredibly fast, appearing in front of the female disciples in an instant. This sudden change left the five no time to react, their faces blanching at the sight of those snarling teeth.
"This is bad!"
Luo Feng’s expression changed, but it was already too late to rescue them.
"Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword!"
At this moment, the intent of sharpness rose, and beside him, Yue Haitang’s eyes flashed, her treasured sword vanished into the void.
Swoosh!
The Sword Qi hummed, and at almost the same time, the flesh ball ten steps away was shredded into oblivion by the Sword Qi; all tendrils fell to the ground, with their teeth still grinding against each other, producing a clinking sound!
"Trouble!"
