Chapter 173: The Demon Shark King of the Deep Sea!

Stepping through the portal to the Fourth Pass, the view before him suddenly opened up, but he saw only a vast, boundless ocean, its waves shimmering and extending to the edge of sight, meeting the horizon so that one could not tell where the sky ended and the sea began!

At the same time, Mu Qingxin's voice, calm beyond measure, emanated from all directions;

"Congratulations on entering the Fourth Pass. Mission issued: protect the orca mother and daughter from the pursuit of the Demon Shark King!"

Once those words fell, there was not a sound more.

Lin Potian's mouth twitched, "Things that fly in the sky, things that run on the ground, things that swim in the sea—now they're all collected, and you still want me to be a bodyguard?"

What else could he do? Protect them, then!

Boom, boom, boom!

Just at this moment, in the distance, a massive shark covered entirely in dark blue scales, its eyes flashing with sinister light, came breaking through the waves; it was truly immense, ten thousand miles long!

Yet its form was exceptionally agile in the water, and every flick of its tail fin could stir up monstrous waves; it opened a giant maw filled with sharp fangs, and its "hehehe" laughter echoed through the deep sea, making one's hair stand on end!

Its target was precisely the orca mother and daughter fleeing desperately ahead; the little one clung tightly to its mother's side, its eyes full of terror and helplessness, while the mother orca ignored everything else, weaving through the complex currents with her cub!

But that strange, giant shark was like a phantom of the dark night in the deep blue water, closing in rapidly; its eyes were like two burning small planets, and every dash was accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking water and that "hehehe" laughter!

"Is this a Kun, or a shark?"

Even though it was Lin Potian's first time seeing such a massive deep-sea exotic beast, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Warning, mission is about to fail, the challenger is about to be erased!"

A voice devoid of sorrow or joy entered the depths of Lin Potian's heart, startling him awake!

There was no need to think about it now; that shark, as huge as a Kun, was the Demon Shark King!

Whoosh...!

Lin Potian took a step out, waved his hand to sever the sea area, and said indifferently to the orca mother and daughter behind him, "Go."

Whoosh... whoosh!

The orca mother and daughter swam away without even looking back!

"Not even a word of thanks?"

Lin Potian frowned slightly; if this weren't a mission, he would have really wanted to turn around and leave.

"Human? Get lost at once!"

After the Demon Shark King saw clearly that the person blocking the sea area was merely a human, it shouted loudly.

Lin Potian shook his head, calm and composed, his lips moving: "What if I say no? Abandon the pursuit of these two orcas and retreat now, and I will spare your life."

The Demon Shark King was stunned, then let out a "hehehe" weird laugh: "Hahaha, spare my life? That is truly the funniest joke I have ever heard. Little ones, get him!"

As the words fell, countless small sharks received the order and instantly boiled over; their silver-gray bodies sliced through the sea surface, bringing sprays of water and baring the sharp teeth in their mouths, shooting toward Lin Potian like arrows released from a bow!

Under the sunlight, their bodies flashed with a cold, sharp light, each leap accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking air, and a heart-palpitating smell of blood permeated the air!

"Too weak."

Lin Potian's figure did not move, his eyes bored; he flicked his wrist lightly, his long sword like a dragon, the tip of the sword tapping the sea surface lightly. In an instant, ripples visible to the naked eye spread rapidly with him at the center, and wherever they passed, those small sharks seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, unable to move!

Following that, Lin Potian's figure erupted, his long sword swept horizontally, and a dazzling sword radiance sliced through the sky; every shark it touched was instantly split in two, blood spraying like a fountain and dyeing the entire sea area red!

With a single strike, except for the Demon Shark King, all other sharks were dead!

"I underestimated you!"

The Demon Shark King roared and attacked directly!

Its massive body accelerated violently, stirring up monstrous waves, and like a moving blue mountain, it charged straight at Lin Potian!

"Another exotic beast at the Peak of Venerable Rank."

Lin Potian's eyes sharpened, his figure instantly rose, standing in mid-air, the light on the long sword in his hand flaring brilliantly!

The Demon Shark King opened its giant maw, revealing ghastly fangs, and a powerful suction force radiated from its mouth; the seawater churned, forming a huge vortex, intending to suck Lin Potian in!

"Break!"

Lin Potian let out a cold snort, swung his long sword, and the sword light slashed toward the center of the vortex like a bolt of silk; the sword intent was biting, and it actually forcibly split the vortex apart, sending seawater splashing everywhere!

Swish, swish, swish!

The next second, Lin Potian's figure manifested afterimages in the air; wherever the sword tip passed, the seawater surged backward, leaving behind pitch-black cracks!

The Demon Shark King spread its giant fins, each flap accompanied by a thunderous roar; layers of giant waves rose on the sea surface, and its eyes, like burning fire planets, shot out scorching light, staring straight at Lin Potian, filled with endless hatred and killing intent!

"Return the lives of my little ones!"

"Demon Shark Light Wave!"

Instantly, a brilliant, dazzling ball of light condensed in its mouth; that light ball contained violent lightning and the power of cold seawater. Following a roar from the Demon Shark King, the light ball seemed to be imbued with life, expanding rapidly; the surrounding seawater was evaporated into a vast whiteness by its terrifying power, and a pungent, scorched smell permeated the air!

Immediately, the light ball shot out of its mouth, carrying a roar that tore through space, heading straight for Lin Potian!

Seeing this, Lin Potian's expression was grave; he murmured a low incantation, his hands quickly forming seals, and the surrounding air suddenly dropped in temperature. In an instant, the sea surface was covered with a thin layer of cold ice, flashing with dark blue light; he suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with the light of cold ice, and he shouted in a low voice: "Cold Ice Sealing Prison!"

Before the words had faded, countless ice crystals erupted from beneath the sea surface, like ten thousand sharp swords, sealing the space airtight. The Demon Shark King's massive body was bound by this sudden cold ice!

Its movements instantly became sluggish, and a trace of terror flashed in its eyes!

The ice crystals condensed continuously, wrapping it firmly, and finally turned into a huge ice sculpture, standing tall above the surging sea, cold air overflowing!

"Water Shark Break!"

The Demon Shark King used its water-element divine ability; its ice-sealed body shook violently, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the ice sculpture, and then it shattered with a boom, turning into ice dust filling the sky!

With a roar, surging water elements surged around its body; in an instant, the surrounding seawater boiled, forming giant water spouts that rotated and rushed toward the sky, blotting out the sun!

The Demon Shark King placed itself at the center of the water spouts, and the water spouts, carrying the power to destroy the world, swept toward Lin Potian!

Wherever they passed, the sea waves were monstrous!

"Netherworld Soul-Severing Scythe!"

Facing the water spouts that came covering the sky and earth, Lin Potian's eyes were fearless; he summoned the Netherworld Soul-Severing Scythe, his figure erupted, and as the scythe danced, carrying the power of the netherworld, it collided with the water spouts, emitting a deafening roar, and the Demon Shark Light Wave was broken in an instant!

"What?!"

The Demon Shark King simply could not accept this reality; it was an exotic beast at the Peak of Venerable Rank, yet a human at the Honored Rank Late Stage had actually broken its divine ability with a casual wave?

What kind of joke is this!
