Chapter 278
The Near-Sea grand array covered the entire coastline, stretching for a million miles, a very long distance.
And for the aquatic race to break the array, they couldn't be stupid enough to act at the Near-Sea Camp.
And Haixi City was definitely the best choice for the aquatic race. First, its location: even if they were discovered by the Dao One Sect or human experts during the process of breaking the array, they wouldn't be able to arrive immediately.
Secondly, as long as they took Haixi City, the aquatic race could advance to attack and retreat to defend; it was an important foothold.
This had been planned long ago, and now everything was ready. In ten days at most, the aquatic race would be able to break the Near-Sea grand array and then kill their way into the Eastern Continent.
Therefore, the old Dragon King had brought almost all the powerful beings of the East Sea aquatic race to Haixi City.
This time, he was full of confidence and vowed to catch the humans of the Eastern Continent off guard.
The aquatic race left in a grand procession. Even though there had been some unexpected events earlier, losing thirty thousand young prodigies, this still didn't affect their momentum.
In the vast ocean, the surface and the seabed were densely packed with the figures of powerful aquatic beings.
And the old Dragon King took the lead, transforming into his true form—a giant black flood dragon—calling the wind and rain in the sky, looking incredibly domineering.
All the powerful aquatic beings firmly believed that this battle would definitely be the battle for the rise of their aquatic race.
However, things in this world are sometimes just that coincidental. Just after the many powerful aquatic beings had left, a team of several hundred people quietly and stealthily slipped out from the Near-Sea Camp.
Needless to say, this group was naturally the Divine Jianfeng disciples.
Looking at the East Sea before him, Until Hong Zun took a deep breath. This was the smell of the sea.
"Start. Remember what I said before; don't be careless."
"Yes."
Under Until Hong Zun's order, the disciples quickly performed their duties. Wang Yao and Lu Youyou disappeared from the spot in a flash, while the other disciples took out the Soul-Bewitching Powder that had been distributed in advance and began to pour it into the seawater continuously.
"Don't stay too far apart, otherwise the medicinal effect will be diluted too much by the seawater and become useless."
"Just stay a hundred meters apart."
"Understood, Senior Brother."
The colorless and odorless Soul-Bewitching Powder was quickly poured into the sea.
Meanwhile, under the sea surface, those young aquatic beings who had been left behind—either because their cultivation was insufficient or for other reasons—had not gone to Haixi City together.
However, this didn't hinder their excitement. At this moment, they were gathered in twos and threes, chatting excitedly.
"The Dragon King will definitely be able to lead us to invade the Eastern Continent this time."
"That's natural. This time, our aquatic race's elite has been sent out; how could those humans possibly stop us?"
"But I heard that the humans' Dao One Sect is very strong, not inferior to our East Sea aquatic race at all."
"Heh, that's just something the humans brag about themselves. What is the Dao One Sect? If I encounter them, I will definitely kill a few Dao One Sect disciples with my own hands and taste these human prodigies."
"Well said. It's said that human prodigies taste delicious. I don't know if it's true; I've never tasted it before."
"Rest assured. Once our aquatic race breaks the Near-Sea grand array and kills our way into the Eastern Continent, then all the humans in the entire Eastern Continent will be food for you and me. At that time, we'll just pen them up and eat them whenever we want."
"Haha, well said! Pen them up just like cattle and sheep. Weak humans only deserve to become food."
One by one, they had already begun to fantasize about the scene of the aquatic race invading the Eastern Continent.
Having such confidence was definitely not groundless.
First of all, this operation didn't just involve the East Sea aquatic race; other major demon tribes of the Eastern Continent, such as Huling, Yuanshan, and other powerful demon forces, had all participated in this plan.
It could be said that this was an operation planned jointly by many demon tribes of the Eastern Continent.
And the humans were currently completely unprepared. Once the Dragon King and the others broke the array and suddenly killed their way into the Eastern Continent, the humans would definitely be caught off guard. Plus, with the participation of their aquatic race, the chances of winning were very high.
Just as these young aquatic beings were talking, unknowingly, they all felt weak all over.
"Strange, why do I feel so tired?"
"Me too, and my hands and feet don't have any strength."
"What's going on?"
"Not good..."
They quickly realized something was wrong, but it was too late. The Inner Sect disciples of Divine Jianfeng had already rushed into the seabed and were killing their way toward them.
"Kill!"
"Be fast! The Peak Master said to be ruthless."
"Be nimble with your hands and feet. Are the spatial rings ready? Kill them and put them straight inside."
Following a shout of "kill," countless sword lights struck. Before the aquatic race could react to what was happening, their heads were chopped off.
Now, Divine Jianfeng was already very skilled at killing the aquatic race.
How to kill different aquatic beings, where to stab—everyone was incredibly proficient, especially these Inner Sect disciples.
As the first round of charging ended, the other aquatic beings finally came to their senses, looking at the Divine Jianfeng disciples before them as if they had seen ghosts.
"Humans?"
"Divine Jianfeng disciples?"
"Why are humans appearing in the East Sea?"
"Damn it, did they discover something?"
"Stop talking, run first!"
Some aquatic beings wanted to run, but having been hit by the Soul-Bewitching Powder, they had no strength at all.
As a sleeping drug even more effective than Heavenly Hemp Powder, its price was a hundred times that of Heavenly Hemp Powder, and its effect was absolutely top-notch. Now, these aquatic beings were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without the slightest power to fight back.
Until Hong Zun and Qingshi also joined the disciples in the attack. They saw everyone strike with their swords and then immediately put the bodies into their spatial rings. The speed was so fast it was dazzling.
"Be nimble! Fast! Don't waste time."
"Are you performing on stage? Just stab them with one sword and be done with it! What are you dancing around for?"
Time was tight; after all, they didn't know when the aquatic Demon Kings would come to support.
Just as he saw a disciple playing with his sword, causing sand and stones to fly, Until Hong Zun went up and gave him a kick.
Are you stocking up on goods? Why are you dancing here?
It was another one-sided slaughter. Before long, all the aquatic beings in this area had been slaughtered.
"Strange, why haven't Wang Yao and Lu Youyou sent any news?"
At this moment, Until Hong Zun said with some surprise. Logically speaking, those aquatic Demon Kings should have noticed the commotion here long ago. Why weren't they coming to support?
