Chapter 737: Sea Beast Retreat

On the beach of Dragon Island, the battle between the sea beasts and the Dragon Race grew increasingly intense.

Relying on their advantage of flight, the Dragon Race poured firepower down from mid-air onto the sea beasts in the water. The sea beasts let out roar after roar, and by virtue of their massive numbers, they were pushing the front line bit by bit toward the interior of Dragon Island.

On the sidelines, the Sea Race simultaneously unleashed their water-control abilities, turning the beach of Dragon Island into a massive whirlpool, constantly delaying the advance of the sea beasts. At the same time, sea beasts controlled by the Sea Race also charged into the battlefield, tearing apart the demonized sea beasts one by one.

At the edge of the beach, the Metal Dragon clan, who excelled at melee combat, stood in battle formation, tearing any sea beast that broke through the defensive line into shreds with their mouths and sharp claws.

On the more distant sea surface, several Divine Domain Dragon Race members were already locked in combat with sea beasts that were also of the God Domain. Relying on their powerful racial advantages as dragons, they firmly held the upper hand.

The battle situation seemed to be developing in a positive direction, but Luweisi, who was commanding the battle from the mountaintop, did not dare to be the least bit careless. The number of sea beasts was constantly increasing; although the Dragon Race possessed a huge advantage, they too could be injured and would grow weary. If the battle were to continue like this, even the Dragon Race would not be able to withstand it.

"Hah—!"

Standing on the same front line as the Metal Dragons, Chen Jing twisted her body violently, her long, slender legs sweeping out like a whip, slamming heavily into the head of a sea beast that had rushed before her.

"Boom—!"

The sea beast kicked by Chen Jing let out a shrill cry, its entire body soaring into the air as it performed a high-difficulty 720-degree side flip.

"Star Gang—!"

With a low shout, Chen Jing threw a punch wrapped in starlight, slamming it heavily into the flipping sea beast. The terrifying Star Power instantly pierced through the sea beast's body, blasting it far away. The blasted sea beast crashed to the ground, its body twitching a few times before it stopped moving entirely.

The few Metal Dragons beside Chen Jing could not help but twitch their mouths slightly, shifting their feet to move a little further away from her. It was not that they had never seen Humans who excelled at body tempering, but they had truly never seen anyone who could kill a Rodo beast—the most defense-oriented among Saint Domain-level sea beasts—with a single kick and punch.

When Chen Jing first stood on the same defensive line as them, quite a few Metal Dragons were secretly laughing at the joke. Although there was no concept of favoring men over women among the Metal Dragons, they still looked down a bit on a seemingly delicate Human who wanted to use her own fists to deal with those crazed sea beasts. However, Chen Jing's fists had refreshed their worldview again and again. Sea beasts were powerful, right? But among sea beasts of the same Saint Domain tier, basically none could withstand three of Chen Jing's punches; that Rodo beast just now was the best example.

"Is this woman even human?" This was the thought that occupied the minds of these Metal Dragons the most.

"As expected, only a battle like this is interesting!" Chen Jing loosened up her hands and feet, looking at the sea beasts lunging at her, her eyes filled with heat.

Compared to the heated battle on Chen Jing's side, the situation on Nia's side was much calmer, yet the dragons beside Nia looked at her with eyes full of awe. The reason was that all the sea beasts that lunged at Nia died in ways that were far too suspicious and far too miserable.

Among these sea beasts, some were killed by being caught in the crossfire of other sea beasts' battles, while others tripped and died after falling into pits that appeared out of nowhere in front of them. One sea beast had it the worst; it was crushed to death by a meteorite that fell from the sky. And that meteorite had been summoned by another sea beast, only it was unknown why it had missed its mark.

The deaths of these sea beasts all seemed to be mere coincidences. But when so many coincidences occurred simultaneously, it was no longer a coincidence; it was inevitable that someone was manipulating it all from the shadows. Thinking of Nia, who had been writing and drawing with a strange book since the beginning, many dragons felt a chill in their hearts. Could this girl be the legendary Fate Mage who had long since vanished?

Although the existence of Fate Mages had long since disappeared into the historical torrent of the Continent, the records of Fate Mages in history had not been erased. It was said that such mages could manipulate the unseen threads of fate, causing people to fall into death without anyone knowing, and could be called the most bizarre existence among mages.

Of course, becoming a Fate Mage was not without a price. For a Fate Mage to decide what kind of fate someone would have, they inevitably had to pay a price; after all, this was an existence that could manipulate Fate Power to a certain extent. It was said that the reason Fate Mages perished was because they had ordained an inevitable fate of defeat for the Lord of the Demon World during the Millennium Holy War, and were ultimately consumed by the backlash of fate's power, leading to the disappearance of their lineage.

"Yawn—this is truly boring!" Holding the Whispering Manuscript, Nia yawned with a bored expression. "Facing guys like this, I'll get very tired. I wonder when Lingyun will be able to take me to see those Spirit girls!"

"Hum—"

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, the wind in the sky suddenly churned, the shrill sound of the wind making everyone present feel a sense of unease. The churning sea surface also became eerily calm at that moment, as if some force had compelled it to do so.

"Is this... Lingyun?" Chen Jing, who had just blasted away a sea beast with a punch, suddenly looked toward the direction of the sea; she felt a familiar aura there.

"Qingxuan Dragon Sword Art!"

"Blue Sea Dragon Sword Art!"

The sky and the ocean boiled simultaneously at this moment, and countless dragon-shaped Sword Qi pierced out from the gale and the ocean, enveloping all the sea beasts attacking Dragon Island.

"Lingyun is using his ultimate move to clear the field!" The Star Power on Chen Jing's body slowly faded away.

"Mm, the battle is over," Nia closed the book in her hand and said.

Looking at the majestic Sword Qi that shrouded all the sea beasts, even Luweisi could not help but twitch the corner of his eye. Although this might have been with the help of the two holy swords, to be able to unleash such a large-scale, powerful attack was something he would have to concede to.

Under the strangulation of the Wind Dragon and the water dragon, numerous sea beasts let out shrill cries and met their end. Those sea beasts not covered by the Sword Qi also revealed expressions of terror when faced with such terrifying Sword Qi. Although they had been demonized, this did not mean they were completely mindless. Facing this hopeless situation of certain death, these demonized sea beasts decisively chose to retreat.

Watching the rapidly retreating sea beasts, Lingyun's figure appeared in mid-air.

"Lingyun, you're back?" Chen Jing flashed over and appeared beside Lingyun. "Did you catch that Sea Devourer?"

"Caught it, we're having a feast tonight!" Lingyun said to Chen Jing with a smile.
