Chapter 192: with translation of chapter title

Shui Bing'er watched the five Title Douluo standing below, a smile she couldn't suppress at the corners of her mouth; this trip really went smoothly, the sect could add five more Title Douluo, and there were three Soul Douluo possessing hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

Yang Poxue rarely stepped out from the shadows, looking toward the direction where the coastline drew ever nearer, she let out a gentle breath.

"Another operation has ended; fortunately, this time our research on soul spirits has made some progress; it's not a total loss, we also harvested several suitable hundred-thousand-year soul rings on the way to serve as soul rings for our second martial soul."

Shui Bing'er nodded at Yang Poxue and whispered her thanks: "Elder sister, thank you for always guarding in the shadows and caring so much about my husband's mission; truly, you've worked hard."

Yang Poxue nodded with a light smile, saying nothing; this gratitude was well deserved.

The salty sea breeze blew, gazing at the endless waves Yang Poxue felt no discomfort in her heart; instead, she felt increasingly close.

As her mental power spread out to conduct periodic scouting, Yang Poxue's brows furrowed slightly.

"Madam, there's a situation; ahead in the direction of the coastline there is a sailing ship, and the people aboard appear to be Tang San of the Clear Sky Sect; among those accompanying him are also disciples of the Clear Sky Sect."

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's expression turned solemn; Tang San—this is someone my husband has always disliked.

Moreover, it's said that this person is extremely troublesome and possesses highly unpredictable concealed weapons, using hidden arrows to wound people is utterly shameless; I never expected to encounter him here.

The sect searched everywhere but found no trace; I never imagined the other side would find an opportunity to slip down the mountain and cross over.

"Do you know their direction?" Shui Bing'er asked again.

Since detecting Tang San's trace, Yang Poxue has been continuously conducting infrasound detection; as time passed, she roughly deduced their direction.

Sea God Island.

"Based on their sailing direction over this period, their goal is to land on Sea God Island; Tang San is accompanied by many Clear Sky Sect disciples, likely intending to train together on Sea God Island."

"If they succeed, it will surely be a major future trouble for my Breaking Heaven Sect; fortunately we have detected their trail here, so rather than miss this chance we should wipe them out in one fell swoop; even if we cannot kill all those Clear Sky Sect disciples, we absolutely cannot leave any alive."

Shui Bing'er looked at the five newly promoted Title Douluo below and the three Soul Douluo possessing hundred-thousand-year soul rings; the worry in her heart vanished instantly.

"It's just a mere Tang San; back in the competition he wasn't even a match for me—could he possibly turn the tables now?" "Convey my orders: stand ready for battle at any moment; upon discovering any trace of the Clear Sky Sect clansmen, we will move now and annihilate them completely." Shui Bing'er raised her arm and shouted, and instantly all the soul masters aboard responded.

The helmsman began to change course according to Shui Bing'er's guidance; originally sailing straight toward the shore, he now made a sharp turn.

Within half a day, the top of the mast already revealed the opponent's silhouette.

Aboard were two sea soul masters from Hanhai City, who had traveled a thousand miles inland to join the Breaking Heaven Sect; afterward they also served as pioneers, showing the sea soul masters the benefits.

Thus, Shui Bing'er's team setting out to sea to hunt hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could be accompanied by soul masters familiar with the ocean.

Ordinarily useless against such overwhelmingly powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, now the moment to achieve merit has arrived.

A small squad came forward requesting permission to go and smash the enemy's ship; aside from the sea soul masters, the vast majority of land soul masters would have their strength reduced by over twenty percent at sea.

Shui Bing'er thought it over and still decided not to let these people risk their lives.

My husband once said that Tang San is not only treacherous and cunning but also possesses exceptionally keen observation; perhaps these people would be struck by his hidden weapons before they even got close.

It would be a waste of lives.

While the petitioning squad was still trying to make their case, Shui Bing'er stood up; they felt a gaze fixed upon them. Walking to the ship's edge, behind Shui Bing'er an ice‑blue phoenix soared into the sky; soon dozens of ice cones formed beneath the sea surface and shot toward Tang San's ship.

The sea soul master squad's members were right—land soul masters' strength at sea without a solid footing would be greatly reduced.

Especially the Clear Sky Sect, which relies on strength, has no place to stand at sea; with only brute force they cannot exert their proper power.

The Clear Sky Sect, which places importance on the two hearts in the calves, what would they do after losing those two hearts? Even from across the sea surface, Tang San could see the ice cones continually attacking his ship.

If struck, everyone aboard would likely end up in the water; especially the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.

The strength they could muster would probably be less than three tenths.

Blue Silver Grass sprang into action instantly, tightly wrapping the entire underside of the ship; but Tang San had overlooked one thing.

Namely, a ship needs power to move; while this indeed prevented the hull from being destroyed, it also limited the ship's speed.

It even left them only able to stay in place and await death.

In an instant Tang San's expression turned grim; the ice cones condensed by Shui Bing'er lay beneath the sea surface under the blazing sun.

Once the supply of soul power is cut off, they will quickly turn back into seawater and merge with the ocean; they cannot possibly serve as a foothold.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Blue Silver Overlord Spear"

A crimson long spear flew toward Shui Bing'er's position, accompanied by an unmatched sound of tearing air.

A figure on the deck shouted: "Madam, let me handle this."

"Fourth Soul Skill—Moon-Breaking Blade"

A bright white crescent‑blade appeared at the spear's tip, thrusting straight at the incoming Blue Silver Overlord Spear; in a moment the spear was shattered and fell onto the sea surface.

At that moment Shui Bing'er flicked her wrist, causing the fallen Blue Silver Grass on the sea surface to freeze and sink to the seabed.

Tang San opposite her darkened his face.

He had originally planned to use the scattered spores of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear to parasitize and then destroy the enemy's hull; he hadn't expected that woman to be so cautious.

He directly froze and sank the shattered Blue Silver Grass to the seabed.

Even the spores initially shattered in the air were completely eradicated by the chill Shui Bing'er released with a wave of her hand.

Shui Bing'er pondered: "At sea I am not convenient to act; once the opponent gains a sufficient foothold it will become even more troublesome; taking advantage of the present moment, sea soul masters"

Yang Poxue suddenly said: "Wait a moment, something's off; a soul beast is heading this way, fast and very strong; currently I have only seen one soul master stronger than this beast."

"That is the sect leader!"

Yang Poxue's voice carried immense gravity; these words also caused Shui Bing'er to change expression; her breath caught, and after regaining her composure she shouted loudly: "Title Douluo stay behind, the rest of the members withdraw first."
