Chapter 562: The Zhenren from your side has arrived

"Swish..."

In the dim stone crack, a mouse ran away quickly.

The lantern hanging on the ugly fish Yaoguai's head also slowly dimmed. It stared in the direction the mouse ran, and its hand gripping the steel fork gradually loosened.

The fish Yaoguai turned around and continued to patrol forward.

At the same time, deep underground, the Daoist priest was escaping quickly.

It's just that although escaping underground is not easy to discover, one cannot stay underground forever, as it would be easy to lose one's sense of direction, so one must find a place to come out and look from time to time.

"Something is wrong here..."

Third Shixiong lowered his voice and said: "It's as if they know we've arrived, or as if some other powerful enemy has arrived!"

"Could it be that those Long Bo betrayed you?"

"They are simple-minded, it's unlikely."

"It could also be that this Yaoguai King has some other rivals on the sea, and now the rivals have come to the door."

"That's also possible."

"In any case, let's leave first and come back next time."

"No! This is just right! As long as that octopus is still in seclusion, the defense inside is empty, which is just suitable for me to release this Yellow Emperor Divine Fire. Maybe I can even burn that octopus half to death!" Third Shixiong said, "When I come back after I have attained the Dao in the future, it will be easier to find it."

"Then we'll stick to the original plan?"

"Good..."

Not long after, unusual movements came from the island.

The sea Yaoguai soldiers and generals who had poured out of the "palace" to patrol and guard were even more startled, rushing towards the island one after another, fearing that the Long Bo would throw another tantrum.

Don't look at how they are usually responsible for supervising these Long Bo; in fact, they all rely on the prestige of the Yaoguai King. Even if these Long Bo giants, who are ten zhang tall, were unarmed and didn't know any spells, these giant shrimp, giant crab, and fish Yaoguai soldiers and generals would still be like ordinary shrimp, crabs, and fish in front of them.

It just so happened that in the past few years, Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals had descended to the sea near the land to clear out Yaoguai, and beautiful palace towers appeared on the clouds, which happened to be seen by this Yaoguai King who went to the near sea. After returning, it was both fearful of the prestige of those Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals, and obsessed with the beautiful and elegant palace. So it went to the near sea to drag merchant ships and capture ship merchants, and searched for towering ancient trees everywhere, and came to this island to use the Long Bo to build a palace for it, so that it could bring it into the water later.

Any one of these towering ancient trees, if taken, is the weapon most skilled for the Long Bo to use.

A giant crab one zhang tall or a shrimp soldier two zhang tall couldn't stop a swing of the Long Bo's giant wood.

More importantly, they didn't know whether the unusual movement outside this time was related to the news they had received. If it disturbed the Great King's seclusion, that would be miserable.

Fortunately, it wasn't the Long Bo's unusual movement!

It was a group of armored Yakshas from who knows where.

Although these Yakshas were armored and looked very difficult to deal with, they looked much easier to deal with than the Long Bo.

Many sea Yaoguai felt relieved in their hearts.

But they didn't expect that just as they were about to surround and suppress them with heavy troops, the palace that hadn't been built yet behind them suddenly erupted with monstrous divine fire with a loud bang.

The flames were incomparably fierce and ferocious, almost as if they had substance. Not only did they knock open the giant stones on top of the palace and overturn the palace frame that had just been built, but they also sent those giant stones and giant trees flying. Stones disintegrated and scattered in the air, falling as burning rubble.

The earth trembled for a moment.

After this explosion, there were continuous flames rushing out from various passages, squeezing out from between the stone cracks with ear-piercing shrieks, spitting out huge fire dragons and fire tongues.

Many sea Yaoguai were stunned.

The Long Bo on the island, whether they were soldiers for the sea Yaoguai or enslaved, were all stunned.

Those Yu Dynasty people who were captured from thousands of li away to serve as craftsmen were also stunned. However, the heat wave rushed towards them, forcing them to retreat again and again.

The next moment—

"Boom!"

The stones and giant trees that built the palace were sent flying again, flying very high, almost shoulder to shoulder with the white clouds in the sky.

A huge, bright red tentacle stretched out.

Boom! Several tentacles stretched out in succession.

The huge "palace" collapsed with a bang, and a huge octopus crawled out from it, scanning the surroundings with full anger.

The flames in the palace below were still burning, burning its tentacles and body until they changed color and curled up, which was clearly damage it could hardly bear. So it struggled and escaped from the ruins of the palace.

Seeing the palace that hadn't been built yet and hadn't been brought into the water destroyed, the octopus sea Yaoguai was anxious.

Several tentacles beckoned at the same time.

From a close distance, there was no movement, but if viewed from afar, this island was relatively round, with a length of over a hundred li from east to west and north to south. The palace was in the middle of the island, and the distance to the sea in all directions was probably tens of li. But with such a beckoning, eight huge water columns rose from the sea around the island, like dragons, quickly gathering towards the middle.

A cage made of water columns appeared over the island, and many fish fell down flapping.

Many sea Yaoguai, Long Bo, captured ship merchants, and ordinary animals on the island all looked up at this scene.

Not long after, the water columns reached the middle palace.

"Boom..."

But the water columns poured down, and apart from washing and hitting the giant stones and giant trees until they were even more scattered, they couldn't extinguish the flames at all, only making a sizzling sound and rising white smoke.

Even when too much seawater gathered, almost comparable to a lake, and gathered into a water ball under its control, the flames still didn't go out. Water and fire coexisted, and they continued to burn in the clear seawater, causing the seawater to bubble and emit white smoke.

The giant trees that had been painstakingly collected and were large enough to sink into the water were also being continuously burned.

The octopus sea Yaoguai gave up instantly.

The huge water columns in the air suddenly broke and smashed into the ground, and the huge water ball wrapping the palace burst its banks instantly, turning into a flood and rushing towards the surroundings.

Those sea Yaoguai soldiers and generals were naturally not afraid, like fish in water. The Long Bo were over ten zhang tall and were not afraid either. It was the captured ship merchants who suffered.

Swept by the water, they were all scattered.

Fortunately, these sea Yaoguai knew their value and all rushed over to protect them.

I saw the octopus Yaoguai King lower its head to scan the ground and wave its tentacles.

Whoosh!

The tip of the huge tentacle became sharp and hard, easily stabbing into the ground for an unknown depth.

When the tentacle was pulled out, it actually brought out a human figure.

That person seemed to have been sucked out by the suction cup, and then fell off or broke free in the air, spinning and floating in the air, with no place to exert force.

Many ship merchants captured as craftsmen opened their eyes wide.

I saw that this person looked to be in his thirties or forties, wearing a gray-white Daoist robe, with long hair, and a face with vicissitudes. He looked like a Daoist priest from the Great Yu.

But this place was already thousands of li away from his hometown.

Many ship merchants couldn't help but have red eyes.

Swish, swish! Two more huge tentacles flew towards the Daoist priest.

I saw the Daoist priest's figure still fluttering in the air, but a flash of light appeared on his hand, and a giant sword appeared out of thin air.

The Daoist priest's figure still hadn't stabilized, but at this time it didn't look like a helpless move, but rather like it was intentional—borrowing the force of the rotation, and then deliberately turning around, the giant sword in his hand danced and rotated.

This dance was truly beautiful and incomparably elegant!

If it were an ordinary long sword in his hand, without this huge and hideous octopus sea Yaoguai as a background, replaced by peach blossoms in the spring breeze, matched with the sunlight on the sea today, the Daoist priest's posture and sword art would probably surpass those famous sword dancers in the human world.

With a hiss! Cold light burst out with murderous intent!

This Yaoguai King had already attained the Dao, but under this sword of the Daoist priest, the tip of its tentacle was actually cut off!

The octopus sea Yaoguai retracted its tentacle, cried out in pain, and became even more angry.

The two tentacles had just been cut off when they grew back, and then four tentacles stabbed out simultaneously, left, right, up, and down.

Sword energy flashed and disappeared in the air!

One tentacle was cut in half!

The giant sword swept across with silver light!

One tentacle broke!

Immediately after, there was a bang!

The third tentacle hit the Daoist priest, directly knocking him down from the high altitude and smashing him heavily onto the sea island, right in front of a ship merchant who was clamped and lifted by a giant crab to avoid the seawater.

The receding seawater bloomed into a huge flower, the petals rising into a wave several zhang high, and the mud underneath was also smashed into a deep pit.

The ship merchant opened his eyes wide and looked blankly.

At that moment, this Daoist priest seemed to have turned into a stone sculpture harder than gold and iron.

The next moment, the stone sculpture turned back into a person.

The two sides looked at each other.

However, a black shadow had already appeared in the sky.

The fourth tentacle stabbed down fiercely.

The Daoist priest's eyes froze, his figure sank directly into the ground, and the tentacle also stabbed directly into the ground.

When the tentacle was pulled out again, the Daoist priest who had turned into a stone sculpture was lifted out again.

"Not good!"

Third Shixiong had already frowned.

Although this octopus sea Yaoguai was a barbarian and didn't know many spells and supernatural powers, so it seemed stupid, but after all, it had attained the Dao and was completely beyond his ability to deal with. And even leaving was not easy.

While thinking, he used the Divine Movement Technique!

Suddenly, his body became as light as a swallow.

He cut off a tentacle with one sword.

Waving his left sleeve, the Gang Qi surged out, both shattering a water dragon that was rushing over and pushing him to fly quickly towards another area, dodging another tentacle.

At the same time, he scattered his hand again—

A piece of beans suddenly surged out, borrowing the fierce Gang wind, and fell directly onto the octopus sea Yaoguai.

These beans immediately turned into armored soldiers, some about the size of ordinary people, others over a zhang tall, which were armored Yakshas, all clinging to the octopus sea Yaoguai, hacking and slashing with force.

These armored soldiers and armored Yakshas were at least two hundred in number, and they were all replaced with the remnant body fragments of the Wang Mu of the West. It could be said that they used the body of a Yaoguai King from the Divine Land, and had been refined by him for decades or a hundred years. The spiritual rhyme power was extraordinary. Even if this sea Yaoguai had attained the Dao, a slash of a knife or sword would result in a wound, and a stab of a spear or lance would result in a deep pit.

The octopus sea Yaoguai was in pain for a while.

However, after all, it had attained the Dao, and this damage was very limited to it.

I saw its eight tentacles wave, knocking down dozens of armored soldiers, suddenly shaking its body, throwing away dozens of armored soldiers, and with a pull of its tentacles, many armored soldiers were also pulled and deeply embedded in the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that their bodies came from the Wang Mu of the West, this would have scrapped a large area.

Just a moment later, the Daoist priest was knocked down again.

With a splash! He smashed into a cold and hard place!

Beside him was also a ship merchant, a thin middle-aged man, who was staring at him blankly.

Splash!

Another armored soldier fell to the side, and immediately giant crabs and fish Yaoguai swarmed up!

But before the armored soldier's figure was submerged by the giant crabs and fish Yaoguai, the middle-aged man saw clearly that the fish scale armor on the armored soldier was clearly in the style of the Central Plains Dynasty.

This completely confirmed where this Daoist priest came from.

"Daoist priest..."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but shout.

Third Shixiong didn't hear his subsequent words, but he knew his thoughts.

He hoped that he could win and save them back.

"However..."

The sky darkened again.

The Daoist priest was about to escape by Earth Escape, but found that he couldn't escape.

Turning around, he realized that he hadn't landed on the ground this time. The hardness and coldness behind him were not stone, but ice formed by seawater.

In just a few exchanges, in a few breaths of time, this Yaoguai had actually seen through his spells and even made a response!

Is this the Yaoguai who has glimpsed the Great Dao and attained the Dao and become extraordinary?

If one hasn't attained the Dao, how can one win?

"Whoosh..."

The Daoist priest turned into a clear breeze and escaped to the side.

The huge tentacle also pulled down with a bang. Just the wild wind blown up and the splashed ice crystals blew away the fish Yaoguai and the ship merchant it was protecting.

Clear breeze drifted in the sky, seemingly formless, but the Daoist priest clearly felt that this still couldn't escape the eyes of that Yaoguai.

Attaining the Dao means becoming extraordinary, in harmony with heaven and earth and nature, and not so easy to fool.

It was still staring at him.

Even if he escaped today, he would probably lose half his life.

Third Shixiong thought so.

But the most helpless thing was that he still couldn't take back these Long Bo on the island, and these ship merchants captured as craftsmen.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard a voice drifting in the wind:

"Go this way!"

The voice was crisp and serious, somewhat familiar.

The octopus sea Yaoguai behind him immediately stood ready. ===== CHAPTER 563 =====
