Chapter 259

Having killed six dragon fish demons one after another, Xia Daoming became increasingly confident in his own strength.

Of course, the massive resources in the depths of the northern sea area, as well as the value of the dragon fish demons themselves, also held a huge temptation for him.

Therefore, he continued to go deeper.

On the twentieth day after he entered the Dragon Fish Sea, near an island, he alarmed another fourth-level mid-stage dragon fish demon.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming naturally attacked and killed it as usual.

But just as he was attacking to kill this dragon fish demon, a roar like thunder erupted from the deepest part of the northern sea area.

As the roar sounded, two extremely powerful auras soared into the sky from those depths.

Then Xia Daoming saw two huge dark clouds flying rapidly from afar.

The dark clouds rolled, and wherever they passed, violent winds blew and torrential rain poured down.

The dark clouds approached.

A terrifying, ferocious aura rushed toward Xia Daoming like a landslide or a tsunami.

In the dark clouds, two demon beasts that looked like civet cats, with single horns on their heads and bodies as large as mountains, were swallowing clouds and mist, stirring up violent winds.

"Two fourth-level high-stage dragon fish demons!"

Xia Daoming's pupils suddenly contracted.

However, he did not turn around to flee, but stood proudly.

For body-refining martial arts, the best way to temper oneself is through battle.

There was no one here, so he didn't fear attracting the attention or jealousy of other forces, thereby following in his Master's footsteps.

Moreover, fighting with powerful dragon fish demons was a true life-and-death struggle, with no need to worry about accidental injury.

Soon, an earth-shattering battle broke out in the northern sea area of the Dragon Fish Sea.

Xia Daoming, with a saber in his left hand and a spear in his right, his whole body covered in scales, fought two fourth-level high-stage dragon fish demons alone.

The trees on the island were snapped off in swathes, and the mountain peaks collapsed.

The sky flashed with lightning and thundered, and lines of rain like swords struck Xia Daoming densely.

Every time a line of rain landed on the ground, it smashed a large pit.

Giant waves were whipped up from the sea, turning into huge ice blades that broke through the air and slashed down toward Xia Daoming.

Sharp giant claws fell continuously, wanting to tear Xia Daoming into pieces.

Fourth-level high-stage dragon fish demons not only had powerful physical bodies, but their demon arts were even more formidable.

While fighting physically, they could also unleash water-type demon arts to kill the enemy.

The blood sea surged, and rolling blood-elemental force erupted.

Xia Daoming's whole body was covered in red dragon scales. Occasionally, lines of rain like swords that were not blocked would strike the red dragon scales, only splashing a few droplets of water and leaving a small indentation on the scales, unable to break through them.

The giant saber and long spear danced, manifesting a tiger and a dragon, fighting with the two dragon fish demons.

Roar! Roar!

Seeing that they couldn't defeat Xia Daoming, the two dragon fish demons roared repeatedly.

The roars echoed through the Dragon Fish Sea.

Soon, powerful auras soared into the sky from the depths of the North Sea, sweeping toward the place of the fight.

Among them, one aura was even much more powerful and terrifying than the two dragon fish demons currently fighting Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming's heart was startled, and he felt the urge to retreat.

There is a huge chasm between Jin Dan and Nascent Soul.

No matter how powerful he was now, he was still far from crossing that chasm.

He could fight a fourth-level high-stage dragon fish demon comparable to a late-stage Jin Dan, and even injure the opponent one-on-one.

But if he were surrounded by multiple fourth-level high-stage dragon fish demons, it would still be very dangerous.

Especially that dragon fish demon with the terrifying aura; it was likely a top-tier existence among fourth-level high-stage demons. As it rushed over from afar, Xia Daoming sensed a strong aura of danger.

"Boom!"

Just as Xia Daoming felt the urge to retreat, one of the dragon fish demons' giant claws missed, and unable to retract the claw, it suddenly slapped the ground.

The ground cracked.

A streak of blood light soared into the sky from the crack in the ground.

The blood light spread, shrouding the entire island.

In the blood light, one could see the phantom of a giant dragon flying and leaping, exuding a vicissitudinous, domineering, and powerful aura.

"True Dragon Blood Pearl! There is actually another True Dragon Blood Pearl!" Xia Daoming's heart was greatly shaken, and his face revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

A burst of force had already erupted from his body, turning into a claw that reached into the crack in the ground.

Seeing Xia Daoming trying to collect the True Dragon Blood Pearl, the two dragon fish demons became even more ferocious.

The blood sea surged, and force surged out.

The dragon and tiger manifested by the force became even more ferocious, blocking the dragon fish demons.

The blood light in the sky and the giant dragon phantom within it suddenly disappeared.

A claw had already grabbed the True Dragon Blood Pearl and retracted from the crack in the ground.

Just at this moment, the sky suddenly turned dark.

A giant claw reached out from the dark clouds in the distance, actually covering a small half of the island all at once.

The five sharp claws were like five giant spears, the tips of which flashed with cold light.

A terrifying aura shrouded the island along with it.

An incomparably strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in Xia Daoming's heart.

He had an intuition that if it weren't for the restrictions of the laws of this Ancient Desolate Ruins, this dragon fish demon would probably have already been able to advance to a fifth-level demon beast.

Xia Daoming slapped the air toward that giant claw almost without hesitation.

A dazzling lightning bolt lit up.

"Boom!"

The dragon fish demon's sharp claw tip pierced toward the lightning, exploding into a ball of dazzling light.

The giant claw stalled slightly, with electric light flickering and moving on the claw.

While the giant claw was slightly stalled, Xia Daoming released two more palm lightning bolts at the other two dragon fish demons, repelling them, and then took the opportunity to run wildly.

Roar! Roar!

Seeing Xia Daoming leave, the dragon fish demons roared repeatedly; some whipped up rolling dark clouds to pursue in the air, while others whipped up surging giant waves to pursue while riding the waves.

Fourth-level dragon fish demons were extremely fast.

Most terrifyingly, the strongest dragon fish demon let out a roar, and fourth-level dragon fish demons from all directions in the northern sea area were alarmed, rushing out one after another to block Xia Daoming's escape route.

Fortunately, Xia Daoming had practiced and released eighteen lightning bolts in advance.

Whenever a dragon fish demon rushed out to block him halfway, he would casually release a lightning bolt and then take the opportunity to escape.

However, the Ancient Desolate Ruins was the world of the dragon fish demons.

Xia Daoming was extremely fast, but even if he escaped a thousand miles away, he would soon be tracked by them.

On this day, a fourth-level early-stage dragon fish demon suddenly rushed out in front of him. Xia Daoming was delighted to see the prey and wanted to kill this demon with thunderous means.

As a result, because of this momentary greed, he was caught up by the strongest dragon fish demon.

With the interception of the strongest dragon fish demon, the dozens of dragon fish demons following closely behind had plenty of time to surround Xia Daoming completely.

Trapped in the encirclement of dozens of dragon fish demons, with giant claws and powerful ice-blade demon arts falling one after another, even though Xia Daoming's strength was very powerful, he was terrified to the point of his hair standing on end and hurriedly activated a Small Teleportation Talisman.

Space twisted, and Xia Daoming disappeared into thin air from among the group of demons, appearing a hundred miles away.

Standing a hundred miles away, watching from afar as icebergs soared into the sky, as if they wanted to pierce the low-hanging firmament of this Ancient Desolate Ruins, and seeing giant claws falling, icebergs collapsing, smashing into the sea, whipping up towering waves, and roaring, Xia Daoming's face couldn't help but turn a little pale, and he felt a lingering fear.

If he hadn't had the Small Teleportation Talisman on him and activated it decisively, under the bombardment of such powerful demon arts and giant claws from the group of demons, even if he had luckily survived, he would inevitably have been seriously injured.

"This time, I've killed seven fourth-level dragon fish demons, three of which were mid-stage, plus over a hundred third-rank high-tier and top-tier demon beasts, and many precious spirit herbs and ores, and even by chance obtained another True Dragon Blood Pearl. The harvest this time is far greater than the last time; it's better to quit while I'm ahead!"

Just as Xia Daoming felt the urge to retreat, the group of demons in the distance saw that they had killed nothing, roared repeatedly, whipped up rolling giant waves, and rushed toward Xia Daoming a hundred miles away.

Seeing the rolling giant waves in the distance like a white line rapidly approaching his side, Xia Daoming shuddered and fled rapidly again.

This time, he fled straight toward the direction of the exit.

Under the low-hanging firmament, above the vast sea.

A pair of huge green wings grew out from Xia Daoming's back, whipping up gusts of wind, like a giant green eagle flying rapidly while riding the wind.

Green Eagle Wind-Riding Technique!

One of the three great body-refining divine abilities collected in the Scripture Library of the Qingyuan Sect.

This divine ability was difficult to practice, and Xia Daoming had only achieved some accomplishment after practicing hard for more than half a year.

It was precisely by relying on this divine ability that Xia Daoming was able to escape the pursuit of the dragon fish demons.

Otherwise, with his cultivation in the Qi Refinement path, driving a magic tool would definitely not have allowed him to escape the pursuit of the dragon fish demons.

If he had directly stepped on the waves with his force, this sea was inhabited by a large number of water demons, which would have long since intercepted him.

The boundless blood sea had rolling blood-energy force surging out, supporting Xia Daoming in fully unleashing the Green Eagle Wind-Riding Technique.

Half a day later.

Xia Daoming had already seen from afar the island connected to the exit; another ten miles or so forward would be the no-kill zone.

At this time, many people from all directions were either driving flying boats or directly driving personal magic tools, flying rapidly toward the direction of the exit.

"Why are so many people leaving?" Xia Daoming muttered to himself while putting away his divine ability, stepping on a flying boat, and flying into the no-kill zone.

Just as he flew into the no-kill zone, Xia Daoming sensed a familiar aura approaching from behind.

Xia Daoming subconsciously looked back.

He saw, a few miles away, a charming young woman standing on a flying boat.

A loose white immortal robe could not conceal her beautiful figure.

"Eh, it's you!"

Xia Daoming and the charming young woman recognized each other almost at the same time.

Xia Daoming had met this charming young woman twice in the Dragon Fish Sea more than two years ago.

"You actually came to the Dragon Fish Sea again!" The charming young woman urged the flying boat forward, somewhat surprised.

Last time, Xia Daoming only had Qi Refinement perfection cultivation, yet he had the courage to enter the northern sea area alone to seek opportunities and had come out alive, which had left a deep impression on Yuwen Feng.

"Sigh, I don't want to either, but my family is poor, and if I want to improve my cultivation, I have to take some risks," Xia Daoming said with a helpless face.

"So that's how it is." Yuwen Feng was relieved, and the look she cast at Xia Daoming revealed a hint of pity and sympathy.

"Why did you come to the Dragon Fish Sea again, fellow Daoist?" Xia Daoming asked.

"Didn't the True Dragon Blood Pearl appear more than two years ago? So I came to try my luck," Yuwen Feng replied.

"Oh, so it was for the True Dragon Blood Pearl. By the way, what happened? I see so many people rushing toward the passage exit," Xia Daoming asked.

"You actually don't know what happened? It's a good thing your time is up and you're rushing to the passage, otherwise it would be very dangerous."

"What exactly happened?"

"For the past few days, for some reason, the fourth-level dragon fish demons in the depths of the northern sea area have been dispatched one after another, causing the world's energy to change drastically. Not only that, but the demon beasts in the Dragon Fish Sea also seem to have been affected, becoming extremely ferocious and rushing out of the sea to kill people one after another.

By the way, it is said that a great battle broke out between the dragon fish demons in the depths of the North Sea, and no one knows why. Fourth-level dragon fish demons are equivalent to Jin Dan ancestors; suddenly rushing out from the depths of the North Sea—think about how terrifying that is. If we don't run now, once those dragon fish demons kill their way to other sea areas, that would be terrible!"

"This..." Xia Daoming was slow to realize, his expression subtle.

After all this, it turned out that all of this was because of himself.

Seeing this, Yuwen Feng thought Xia Daoming had been frightened, so she smiled faintly, put away her flying boat, and stepped into the air toward the passage above the small island.

Just as Yuwen Feng disappeared into the vortex passage, terrifying auras suddenly soared into the sky in the distance.

"The dragon fish demons are coming, everyone run!"

In the distance, streaks of brilliant light were breaking through the air toward the passage.

In the brilliant light were panicked faces.

"This... sigh, I wonder if those dragon fish demons will be willing to return to their nests after I leave?" Xia Daoming's mood was quite complicated.

Soon, Xia Daoming followed the crowd, stepped into the passage, and returned to Youhe Valley.

As soon as he returned to Youhe Valley, Xia Daoming saw many people gathered outside, discussing the sudden changes in the Dragon Fish Sea.

Above the valley

floated two auspicious clouds, each standing with a Jin Dan cultivator.

The Jin Dan cultivators looked at the people constantly pouring out of the passage with grave expressions.

Clearly, the sudden changes in the Dragon Fish Sea had already attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Changhe Sect and the Xuedao Sect.

Xia Daoming, the culprit behind the sudden changes in the Dragon Fish Sea, naturally would not stay behind to gossip about the sudden changes, and soon left.

He flew out several hundred miles along the Youhe River.

Just as he was preparing to change direction, Xia Daoming discovered from afar that there were people fighting and killing in the mountain forest.

In the mountain forest.

Four men in black were besieging two women and one man.

The four men in black included two at Qi Refinement perfection and two at Qi Refinement ninth layer.

And the two women and one man were precisely the Qingyuan Sect inner sect disciples Ma Tianliang and Mo Ru Jun, and the outer sect disciple Zhong Meng.

Ma Tianliang and Mo Ru Jun were still at Qi Refinement ninth layer, while Zhong Meng was still at Qi Refinement eighth layer.

The strength of the two sides was quite different.

Ma Tianliang and the other two were already in precarious danger under the attack of the four men in black.

"We are inner sect disciples of the Qingyuan Sect; if you dare to rob and kill us, the Qingyuan Sect will certainly not let you off," Mo Ru Jun said, panting for breath.

"Haha, we are cultivators from the Yue Kingdom; if we kill you, what can the Qingyuan Sect do to us?" The leader at Qi Refinement perfection laughed loudly, and a black saber twisted against Mo Ru Jun's flying sword. In an instant, the sword light scattered, swaying and almost falling.

Mo Ru Jun's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and the true qi and magic power in her body surged uncontrollably. She dared not make another sound and focused all her efforts on manipulating the flying sword.

"Big brother, go easy on her; don't ruin her face, otherwise it won't be fun," one of the men in black made an insidious sound.

Mo Ru Jun's face turned even paler, and her eyes revealed a look of despair.

Ma Tianliang and Zhong Meng were no exception.

"Just because of that sentence, I will definitely let you breathe a few more times in a moment." Just at this time, a voice familiar to all three of them rang out.

A man in green appeared outside the battle circle at some point, his arms crossed, leaning against a large tree.

"Senior Uncle! Save us quickly!" Seeing Xia Daoming, Ma Tianliang and the other two were startled at first, then hurriedly opened their mouths to beg for help.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator! Split up and run!"

The four men in black were also startled and immediately ran in different directions.

But just as they started running, three flying swords had already flown in three directions, circling their heads.

Three large heads fell to the ground, and the headless bodies rushed forward a few steps before collapsing with a boom.

At the same time, a giant claw fell, grabbing the last person like an eagle catching a chick.

The sharp claws pierced through his shoulders, blood sprayed out, and the pain caused the muscles on the man's face to twist.

"I said I would let you breathe a few more times," Xia Daoming said faintly.

Then the sharp claw pierced through his neck, threw him down from the air, and at the same time, the claw disappeared.

"Bang!"

The body hit the ground heavily.

Ma Tianliang and the others shook violently, their eyes filled with fear and bitterness as they looked at Xia Daoming.

At this moment, they finally realized that Xia Daoming had actually become powerful to such an extent.

He had effortlessly and lightly killed two at Qi Refinement perfection and two at Qi Refinement ninth layer.

To him, they were now as weak as ants.

It was laughable that they had dared to provoke and bully him many times in the past!

"Many thanks, Senior Uncle, for saving our lives!" Soon, Ma Tianliang and the others knelt down to thank Xia Daoming.

"Get up, go take the things on them and bring them to me," Xia Daoming said faintly.

"Yes, Senior Uncle," the three responded respectfully, then got up to take the storage bags and magic tools from the men in black one by one, offering them to Xia Daoming with both hands.

PS: I have been recuperating lately, so the updates are a bit slow. If you readers can't wait, you can flip through my old book "Urban Super Medical Saint." This is an urban cultivation book, which is also a field I am relatively good at. The book is very long and almost

has no deletions. There is a link in the author's note.
