Chapter 3018: Sea Beast Melee

"Kill!"

Ye Liuyun also shouted, then struck first, launching a long‑range attack, his blade slashing toward the fastest piranha.

The ten Guiyi Fourth Layer piranhas were briefly restrained by Ye Liuyun's Spatial Power, their movements delayed, and his blade struck, cutting that piranha clean in half.

The others' ranged bombardments also fired out, taking down the few piranhas that surged ahead.

But the piranhas behind immediately lunged to fight for food, instantly devouring the slain piranhas completely.

Then the booming sounds rang out densely again, and Ye Liuyun's side all struck together.

Before that group of piranhas could be eliminated, Long Nv reminded Ye Liuyun that two other shark groups were also approaching, likely drawn by the strong scent of blood.

"These sea beasts' sense of smell is too keen; in just a short time they've attracted so many!"

Ye Liuyun was startled in his heart, thinking that if they kept fighting like this, it would never end.

"Qiong Qi, take the blue whale forward and wait for us at a distance. Everyone else fall back and let the shark groups wear down those piranhas."

He immediately ordered the blue whale to withdraw first, and the others prepared to retreat.

One shark group also noticed the withdrawing blue whale, but the whale's massive size meant that killing it would cost them dearly, so they did not intercept it; instead they rushed toward the battlefield, where the blood‑chi is strongest and food abundant. To them, piranhas are far easier to handle than the blue whale.

The two shark groups then entered the fight in turn, one a Tiger Shark group and the other a black shark group, each numbering thirty to forty. All four camps fought savagely in the chaos; anyone not from one's own team was attacked on sight. The sea beasts behaved likewise—if not of the same kind, they tore and killed outright.

After that, no more sea beasts dared to approach. The battle's fluctuations were too great, the blood‑scent too thick; sea beasts of ordinary strength dared not get close.

At this point Ye Liuyun stopped attacking and instead collected the corpses of slain Tiger Sharks or Black Kill bodies. According to Long Nv, piranha flesh is poor and toxic, not worth gathering.

The others gradually fell back, killing only piranhas and not attacking the two shark groups. Though piranha corpses were not worth taking, their destructive power was huge; after each shark was slain, the piranhas quickly devoured it.

"Let's withdraw soon! I'm afraid the battle's fluctuations and this strong blood‑chi will attract some powerful beings in the sea!" Long Nv, seeing few sea beasts left, also warned Ye Liuyun with some concern: "If the sea beasts are too strong, I might not detect them in advance!"

"Alright, we retreat!"

Ye Liuyun, not greedy, immediately urged everyone to chase toward the direction the blue whale was withdrawing.

Before they could catch up to the blue whale, a stronger battle fluctuation came from behind.

Ye Liuyun turned and looked with Golden Pupil, spotting a pitch‑black sea snake fighting a white shark in that blood‑red sea.

Judging by their battle fluctuations, they were roughly at the Guiyi Seventh/Eighth Layer realm.

They had traveled so far that the battle's aftershocks rolled waves all the way to them.

Everyone stopped to watch the spectacle.

"Run quickly! This distance isn't safe enough!"

Long Nv, however, urged the others onward.

Ye Liuyun immediately led the group, continuing at full speed to chase the blue whale.

But just as they caught up to the blue whale, Long Nv warned Ye Liuyun: "That sea snake is catching up!"

"Huh? The sea snake hasn't had enough after swallowing so many sharks and piranhas?"

Ye Liuyun thought the sea snake had defeated the white shark, swallowed the remaining sharks, and was now chasing them.

Long Nv told Ye Liuyun: "It was defeated, which is why it risked chasing the blue whale. The white shark won, and all the battlefield loot belongs to the white shark."

Ye Liuyun

Ye Liuyun considered the massive black sea snake and asked Long Nv: "Can your Bloodline Power suppress it?"

Long Nv replied: "Its realm is too high; even if you could suppress it, its strength would be about the same as mine."

"No problem, I'll have Slash Void and No Shadow assist you!"

Ye Liuyun finished speaking and immediately sent Slash Void and No Shadow to intercept the black snake.

He and his clones also swung swords from afar to block the black snake.

When the black snake slowed a bit, Long Nv released Bloodline Pressure onto it. Simultaneously, Nine-Head Demon Dragon and Lei Ming both descended from the sky, unleashing Bloodline Pressure on it.

The black snake immediately sensed Long Nv's pressure as the strongest and most terrifying, so it leapt onto the sea surface, aiming first at Lei Ming and the Nine-Head Demon Dragon.

But as soon as it showed its head, Slash Void and No Shadow's attacks caught it off guard; both of their bombardments struck its head directly.

The massive snake head swayed left and right from their blows. At the same time, its realm began to be forced down rapidly by Long Nv to the Guiyi Second Layer, still lower than Long Nv's own realm.

Yet its huge body still held the advantage; although its head bore several cracks from Slash Void and No Shadow, it wasn't dead yet. It roared and lunged again at Slash Void and No Shadow.

The shrill roar, mixed with sonic attacks, rattled the ears of those near Ye Liuyun and the monster beasts.

Lei Ming and the Nine-Head Demon Dragon held back no longer; fearing it might continue harming others, they simultaneously fired White Light at the black snake's head, piercing two large holes.

At the same time, Lei Ming released another True Essence clone, larger this time; it lunged, opened its jaws, and clamped onto the black snake's head, then shook it a few times and, with its claws, snapped the massive head off.

Afterward, Lei Ming's True Essence clone became even more ethereal and was promptly withdrawn by Lei Ming.

Ye Liuyun immediately rushed forward, pulling the black snake's massive body into the Space World.

He was too lazy to pick up the severed snake head and quickly urged everyone to leave. Soon, the white shark that had been fighting the black snake for food arrived, took advantage of the situation, and swallowed the snake head whole.

But having already eaten a lot, it hesitated, then decided it couldn't be sure of handling Ye Liuyun's group, so it didn't pursue further and swam away slowly.

Ye Liuyun and his companions finally escaped the sea beast melee.

After they kept their distance, some weaker sea‑beast groups continued to scout the battlefield, sparking further fights and contests.

"The scent, blood‑scent, battle fluctuations, and cries of sea beasts can travel far in the ocean; some even reach thousands of miles away.

The territorial range of sea beasts is usually far larger than that of land predators."

Long Nv also explained some characteristics of the ocean and sea beasts to everyone, advising them of points to watch out for.
