Chapter 537: Gu Feiyun Seven Cultivators, Han Zhan Takes Action

Random Recommendation:

"Seventh Elder, do you really want to let that thieving bird go?"

In the deep sea, three demon crabs looked up at the sky, their vision seemingly passing through the endless seawater to see the scene outside.

These three demons were extremely ugly.

Their bodies were covered with compound eyes, wisps of white marks circled the carapace, and the crab claws crawling on the ground were covered with sharp, ferocious fluff.

It was the standard appearance of a Demon Spider Crab.

The three demons in the deep sea were not large, but the powerful aura they emitted was truly awe-inspiring.

They were clearly Tier 3 Demon King existences!

And their deliberate shrinking of their bodies was not without reason.

This encounter was deliberately aimed at the Seeing Tianxuan Fighting Gull!

Over the past five years, in the Xuanyan Sea Area, the various demon crabs running rampant had repeatedly had Tier 2 demon crabs go missing.

Later, it was found out by people that there was a foreign evil dragon catching demon crabs for food.

For this reason, the Qingdi Crab clan took action several times, and even the Overlord Crab clan once led by the Great Elder Jin Ao tried to capture and kill the evil dragon.

It was also that time that it was exposed that the evil dragon was not isolated and helpless.

It had strangely formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Seeing Tianxuan Fighting Gull.

You know, the Seeing Tianxuan Fighting Gull is the natural enemy of the Black-Scaled Dragon!

Since then, trying to capture and kill the Black-Scaled Dragon had become increasingly difficult, and the other party had clearly become more cunning.

At the same time, their actions became more rampant; not only the Black-Scaled Dragon, but even the Seeing Tianxuan Fighting Gull joined in the unscrupulous hunting of demon crabs.

The two were elusive in the Xuanyan Sea Area, running rampant, one dragon and one gull, everywhere in the sea, land, and air, truly making it impossible for the crabs to defend against.

Such unscrupulous atrocities, if it were in previous years, would have long been strangled by the five major royal clans working together.

But strangely, the strongest Overlord Crab clan, after only one action, stopped caring about the Black-Scaled Dragon and them. 【537-2

And that Green Emperor Crab clan, which suffered the greatest losses, inexplicably closed off their ancestral grounds and reduced the range of their clansmen's activities.

The other three clans, the Red Rock Crabs, resided in the submarine volcanic gullies and rarely moved about in the shallow seas.

The Nine-Clawed Poison King Crabs ignored this entirely, because the Black-Scaled Flood Dragon and his lot had never made any moves against the Poison King Crabs from start to finish.

On the contrary, it was they, the notorious Demon Spider Crab clan, who had been targeted by that wicked dragon and thieving bird!

It wasn't just the second-tier clansmen; they actually didn't even spare the first-tier ones!

Such atrocities are clear to the heavens; no one can tolerate this.

Therefore, this led to the three great demon kings of the Demon Spider Crab clan joining forces to set an ambush, intending to execute the wicked dragon and thieving bird!

However, worldly affairs are impermanent, and plans never change as fast as reality.

After they had sacrificed one clansman to lure the Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull into the trap, an accident occurred.

Before they had even had a chance to strike.

Suddenly, a group of human cultivators arrived in this sea area.

The moment this group of human cultivators saw the Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull, they struck directly and began to attack it.

Under the sea, the leading Demon Spider Crab had a look of suspicion and uncertainty.

Gazing at the battle on the sea surface, he blinked his eyes and said, "That Fighting Gull won't be able to run."

The two demons beside him did not understand what he meant.

"That is merely a Core Formation early-stage cultivator; perhaps they could entangle it for a while, but wanting to kill the Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull is likely beyond their capabilities!"

The Seventh Elder shook his head, "No, your realms are too weak; you cannot perceive the true situation. They are not trying to kill this Fighting Gull, but rather to capture it alive."

Capture it alive!

Once these words were spoken, the two companions looked at each other in dismay.

A Core Formation early-stage cultivator wanting to capture alive a Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull that has powerful combat strength and super-fast flight speed? Is that not wishful thinking?

Seeing this, the Seventh Elder explained in a low voice, "That large ship is shrouded in a powerful formation, and there are even stronger existences inside. The other party is not striking now, which clearly shows they are confident of success. Let alone this Fighting Gull, even if the three of us were to strike, I fear we would not gain the slightest advantage."

The other two demons were dumbfounded.

Although the two of them were mediocre, the Seventh Elder was a genuine third-tier mid-stage realm expert.

With the three of them joining forces, given the innate talents of the Demon Spider Crab clan, even human cultivators—who are known for having numerous methods and endless schemes—would be no match for them, provided they were not at the Core Formation late-stage.

Could it be...

The two demons looked at each other, vaguely having a guess.

The Demon Spider Crab clan is known for its keen perception, and the Seventh Elder had had a fortuitous encounter in his early years, making his sensory abilities even more powerful.

It is very likely that the Seventh Elder perceived an existence on the large ship that even he feared.

"Then what about us now?"

The Seventh Elder was also a bit hesitant. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let us observe a while longer. If that Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull really runs away, it will not be too late for us to pursue and kill it. If it is captured, its fate will not be good either; it will either be killed for its materials or reduced to a mount for a cultivator. In this way, it can be considered us borrowing a knife to kill, avenging our low-tier Demon Spider Crab clansmen. Moreover, once this Fighting Gull is gone, the other wicked dragon will have no support, and killing it will be as easy as turning over one's hand."

These words were spoken eloquently and in an orderly fashion.

Those who didn't know better might even think he was a human cultivator known for his wisdom.

After hearing this, the other two demons accepted the Seventh Elder's plan with admiration.

If nothing else, within their Demon Spider Crab clan, the Seventh Elder was known for his schemes and often provided many strategies for the development of the clan.

This time, if it weren't for the human cultivators intervening, they could have steadily executed the Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull.

Listening to him is definitely the right choice!

On the sea surface.

A large ship that could be called a behemoth spanned the sea surface.

Its sails were half-hoisted, and human figures were moving about.

Even with the formation obscuring them, there were several figures revealing astonishing auras, making one feel awe-struck at the sight.

Among the crowd, six people took the lead.

And among those six, the center was vaguely occupied by a man and a woman.

Under this star-like adoration, the young female cultivator's beautiful face showed a hint of worry as she watched the battle scene between the person and the bird in the sky.

"Big Brother, can Sixth Senior Brother really capture this Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull?"

The man in fine clothing standing to the side chuckled, "Although Sixth Junior Brother has good natural talent, his cultivation time is too short after all. Being able to entangle this beast with his ability is already his limit. Wanting to capture it alive, hehe..."

Everyone knew the unspoken words.

After hearing this, the young female cultivator said with worry, "Since that is the case, why not let Sixth Senior Brother stop, so as to avoid hurting himself."

The man in fine clothing looked at his little sister with affection; she was just too kind-hearted.

"Sixth Junior Brother has the heart to use the battle to hone his newly cultivated methods, so I naturally must give him this opportunity. Besides..."

Speaking of this, he rubbed the female cultivator's head.

"Little Sister, after you formed your Core, I was busy working for Father and haven't given you a congratulatory gift yet."

"This Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull is of good quality, and its bloodline must be very pure. Using this as a Core Formation gift, whether it is for your travel entourage or as a spirit beast to protect your path, it is a wonderful thing."

The young female cultivator was stunned. Was Big Brother actually wanting to capture that demon beast alive as a gift for her?

For a moment, her heart could not help but feel warm.

The four Core Formation cultivators nearby also spoke with smiles.

"Junior Sister Gu Xiaolian, don't worry about Sixth Senior Brother; with us here, there won't be any mistakes."

"That's right, and if you don't believe in Sixth Senior Brother, and don't believe in us, you should at least believe in Big Senior Brother!"

"In the vast Demon Sea, who doesn't know that our Big Senior Brother Gu Gu Shaoshang has exceptional talent and is one of the geniuses with the best hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage? Let alone a third-tier early-stage Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull, even if a third-tier late-stage great demon king were present, Big Senior Brother could capture it alive!"

"Big Senior Brother, will you strike?"

These flattering words did indeed soothe Gu Gu Xiaolian's worried mood.

Gu Gu Xiaolian also couldn't help but look at her Big Brother, "Big Brother, are you going to strike?"

In recent years, Gu Gu Shaoshang's cultivation had progressed, and after advancing to the seventh layer of Core Formation at the age of two hundred, he had rarely struck.

Thinking of the series of battle records he achieved after forming his Core during the hundred-year turmoil of the collapse of the Origin Demon Sect, everyone was very curious: after he advanced to the Core Formation late-stage, were his methods even more formidable?

Facing the worshipful gazes of a group of people looking at him, the corners of Gu Gu Shaoshang's mouth lifted slightly.

In purple fine clothing, his sleeves fluttered.

He slowly raised his hand.

"The formidable aspects of this Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull have already been proven."

"The purpose of this trip is still to collect a large number of Ring-Necked Turtle shells for Father. For this, all seven of us from Flying Cloud Stream have set out, so we cannot delay here for too long."

"Since that is the case, let us close the net!"

As soon as his voice fell.

Both hands suddenly clenched.

At the same time, between heaven and earth, threads suddenly appeared.

The range was so vast that it encompassed over a hundred miles of sky and earth, and even as his magic power extended, there was still a sense of unfinished intent!

Seeing those threads, the hundreds of cultivators on the massive demon-hunting ship bearing the Flying Cloud Stream emblem all let out cheers.

It is the Heavenly Silk Cloud Thread!

One of the famous magic treasures of the Flying Cloud Stream ancestor, Flying Cloud Child, from his early years.

Its grade is high-tier!

After he advanced to the Nascent Soul Great Dao, he bestowed this treasure upon his own son, Gu Gu Shaoshang.

Gu Gu Shaoshang had not let this treasure lose its prestige.

Along the way, this magic treasure had shone brilliantly in many battles.

Gu Gu Xiaolian watched this scene, and a feeling of worship could not help but flow in her eyes.

"No wonder Big Brother was unhurried before; it turns out he had already used the Heavenly Silk Cloud Thread to set a net of heaven and earth."

"This battle philosophy indeed coincides with what Father occasionally teaches: plan everything first."

"I have also formed my Core now, and in the future, I cannot rely on Father and Big Brother for protection in everything. This time hunting the Ring-Necked Turtle, I must hone my combat methods well and make a name for myself!"

While she was secretly vowing in her heart, Gu Gu Shaoshang poured out massive magic power, his hands controlling the boundless Heavenly Silk Cloud Thread to close in.

When it passed by a middle-aged man, it revealed a gap, leaving him outside the threads.

It wrapped only the large bird in the very center, which was over ten feet wide.

"Screech!"

A sharp bird cry resounded through the clouds, and sharp wind blades erupted from the large bird, intending to cut the threads of the large net.

But wherever they passed, the Heavenly Silk Cloud Thread was incomparably tough.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull's wings trembled crazily, and wind vortices were generated under its wings, finally turning into a heaven-reaching tornado.

Gu Gu Shaoshang snorted coldly, "A turtle in a jar, struggling in vain!"

Immediately, the Heavenly Silk Cloud Thread erupted with layers of spiritual light, actually cutting the heaven-reaching tornado into pieces; the surrounding momentum was unstoppable.

Boom!

On the huge deck.

A divine-looking green bird, covered in blood, lay prostrate on it in dejection.

Cheers erupted instantly.

The sounds of shouting "Big Senior Brother is mighty" were endless.

Gu Gu Xiaolian also had eyes full of worship.

It was just that when looking at the miserable Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull, she showed a look of unbearable pity.

"Big Brother, since you have already captured her, why not loosen the net a bit! Her beautiful feathers have all been cut."

Gu Gu Shaoshang shook his head and smiled, "My little sister is too kind-hearted; it is not easy to walk in the cultivation world like this!"

Although he said this, he had already put away the Heavenly Silk Cloud Thread.

The Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull on the deck wanted to struggle, but a talisman floated down and stuck to its forehead, and it couldn't mobilize even a bit of its demon power.

After Gu Gu Shaoshang finished all this, he said casually, "If you want to subdue this demon as a mount, doing it by force will only make it a thug. If you want it to be in tune with your heart, you must tame it yourself. Little Sister, I will leave this Demon-Suppressing Talisman for you to keep yourself."

Gu Gu Xiaolian excitedly took the other yellow talisman, which was exactly the same as the one on the Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull's forehead.

And it was at this moment!

Gu Gu Shaoshang's expression changed instantly, and he struck a palm toward a black cloud in the sky.

"Who is it, hiding your head and showing your tail, sneaking around?"

"Get down here!"

Amidst the sharp shout, there was no response from the sky.

There was only the ghost energy swirling in the void, and black clouds pressing down on the sea!

Thousands of ghost generals surged out.

Two giants with illusory bodies over a hundred feet tall stepped out of the black clouds, stepping toward the palm strike Gu Gu Shaoshang had unleashed.

As the two made contact, a rumbling vibration erupted.

"Ten Thousand Soul Banner!"

"It's the remnants of the Origin Demon Sect!"

"Fellow disciples, beware of the sneak attack!"

In just an instant, Gu Gu Shaoshang recognized the attacker's methods and gave warnings repeatedly.

But the black cloud's methods were too fast, and at the beginning of the eruption, they had already tightly wrapped the demon-hunting ship.

Under the sky full of black fog, ghost shadows were heavy.

The seven Core Formation cultivators of Flying Cloud Stream struck one after another, killing the second-tier ghost generals one by one.

Gu Gu Shaoshang displayed his great might, continuously crushing the two great ghost king-level main souls in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

High above the nine heavens, Han Zhan watched this scene, a look of approval appearing in his eyes.

"Worthy of being a great Core Formation cultivator who can make a name for himself in the Demon Sea; he indeed has some methods."

"If it were a life-and-death struggle, with my current methods, it might be a fifty-fifty chance."

"But unfortunately, my goal is not slaughter."

Muttering to himself, he issued an order.

The next moment.

In the deep sea, a massive shadow suddenly swam over.

It opened its large mouth toward the massive ship above.

A terrifying devouring force erupted with a bang.

This method came abruptly, making it impossible to defend against.

Large swaths of the deck were swept into the sea with a clatter, and there was even a tendency to drag the ship into the deep sea.

But its goal was clearly not the large ship.

It was the demon bird on the deck.

The demon bird fell into the sea and was swept by the shadow into the seabed.

And just as it escaped, the massive black fog shrouding the Flying Cloud Stream demon-hunting ship also dissipated instantly.

Under the clear sky, the sea was blue and boundless, as if nothing had ever happened.

Gu Gu Shaoshang landed on the large ship, his face gloomy, his spiritual sense permeating in all directions.

"How bold!"

This time, it was truly a case of drawing water with a bamboo basket—all for nothing.

On Heavenly Pivot Island.

A flood dragon and a gull landed in a sorry state.

A soul banner floated gracefully into the depths of the island.

Before the Black-Scaled Flood Dragon could mock Heavenly Pivot, he saw a figure appear before them like a ghost.

He looked up, seeing white clothes fluttering and an indifferent expression.

A terrifying aura was surging incessantly, as if it hadn't completely stabilized yet.

It was his master—Luo Chen.

"Master, I..."

Before he could finish, Luo Chen cut off their words.

Facing the shallow sea ahead, which was filled with reefs, Luo Chen spoke coldly.

"Three fellow Daoists, coming uninvited is not the way of a guest!"

Clatter...

The seawater parted, and three figures came into view!

Compound eyes, spider silk, crab pincers, white patterns.

It was the Demon Spider Crabs!
