Chapter 183 Lending a Helping Hand
"Blood-purifying lotus pod?!" Chen Xu's heart was instantly filled with shock and disbelief.
The jade box exudes a unique spiritual aura, and within it flows a faint glow of pure, cleansing blood energy.
It is almost identical to the Blood Purifying Lotus Seed, an auxiliary material described in the Southern Longyue Jade Slip.
Although they may only be part of a lotus seedpod or a lotus seed, they are definitely from the same source.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
Just then, Dong Biao of the Sea Shark Gang once again unleashed his giant axe, imbued with violent blood-fiend spiritual power, and slammed it down on the precarious protective shield of the Illusionary Sound Merchant Ship.
"Snap!!"
The sound of shattering pierced the sea and sky. The protective light shield, which was already covered with spider web-like cracks, could no longer hold on and exploded, turning into a sky full of spiritual light and dissipating.
"The defenses are breached! Charge in! The cargo and the women are all our spoils!"
Dong Biao laughed wildly, his scarlet tongue licking his lips, his eyes filled with greed and cruelty.
His giant axe, with the force to split mountains and cleave seas, cleaved straight towards the middle-stage Foundation Establishment manager on the deck.
"Protect the manager!" The guards of the Huanyin Merchant Guild, their eyes bloodshot, charged forward with all their might.
However, due to the vast difference in strength, they were instantly overwhelmed by the Sea Shark Gang.
Screams and the sounds of magical weapons clashing mingled together, and the deck was instantly stained with blood.
Faced with Dong Biao's powerful axe blow, the old man in charge turned pale and managed to raise a small tortoise-shell shaped shield.
"Bang!"
The small shield flashed with spiritual light, let out a mournful cry, and flew back. The old man was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood and staggering backward. He was about to be torn apart by the axe energy that followed closely behind.
At this critical moment, Chenxi's figure appeared suddenly in front of the old man like a ghost.
"clang!!"
A deafening clang of metal rang out, and Chen Xu suddenly appeared with a silver longsword in his hand.
The sword, shrouded in a layer of mysterious water light, precisely blocked Dong Biao's giant axe, which was powerful enough to split rocks.
The immense force caused the deck beneath Chen Xu's feet to instantly cave in and crack, but he himself remained as steady as a rock, only his arm holding the sword sank slightly.
"Huh?!" Dong Biao's sinister smile froze, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
His axe strike, unleashed in fury, was comparable to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, yet it was blocked by this suddenly appearing youth with an ordinary magic weapon.
Although the opponent appeared to be knocked back, their defensive power was simply outrageous.
"Where did this blind nobody come from? How dare you meddle in the affairs of my Sea Shark Gang?!" Dong Biao laughed angrily, his fierce aura surging.
"You're asking for death!" His arm muscles bulged, and the blood-red light from his giant axe intensified as he tried to cleave Chen Xu and his sword together.
"Hmph!" Chen Xu snorted coldly, advancing instead of retreating.
The Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique is operating at full power.
His swordplay appeared ordinary, yet it was exceptionally agile, carrying a sense of composure and flexibility.
He actually maneuvered and weaved through Dong Biao's fierce axe attacks, deflecting all of Dong Biao's offensive.
The defensive layer formed by the Xuan Shui spiritual light was incredibly tough, withstanding the scattered axe energy and the magical bombardment from the Water Shark Gang henchmen, firmly protecting the seriously injured manager and a small area behind him.
He didn't fight back with all his might; he seemed to be on the defensive, as if he was stalling for time.
"Useless! What are you all standing there for?! This kid's weird, attack him together and cripple him first!"
Unable to break through after a prolonged siege, Dong Biao was both shocked and furious, and roared at his men around him.
The other two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Sea Shark Gang also realized that Chen Xu was not easy to deal with. They exchanged a glance, grinned maliciously, and surrounded him.
Seeing this, the remaining guards of the Illusionary Sound Merchant Guild felt a glimmer of hope rise from their despair, and they desperately held off the other members of the Sea Shark Gang.
Soon, fifteen breaths passed, and the ultimate ascension was achieved!
boom!!!
A terrifying spiritual power, ten times stronger than before, erupted from Chen Xu's body.
The mysterious water aura around him instantly became as deep as an abyss, with faint dragon-shaped phantoms swimming and roaring within it.
A powerful pressure belonging to a Core Formation stage cultivator, like an invisible tsunami, swept across the entire battlefield.
"A Core Formation cultivator?! No! Impossible!!" The fierce cruelty on Dong Biao's face was instantly replaced by boundless fear.
The other two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were hit as if by a heavy hammer, their bodies trembling violently, and they almost fell directly from mid-air.
At this moment, Chen Xu simply raised his hand and slashed diagonally with his sword.
"Sizzle!"
The condensed Xuan Shui sword energy sliced through the giant axe, which was of considerable quality, as easily as cutting tofu!
"Snap!"
The giant axe snapped in two with a single blow, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
However, Chen Xu's sword momentum was not yet exhausted. With a light touch of the sword tip, he severed Dong Biao's right wrist, which was trying to crush a blood-red communication talisman at his waist!
"Ah!!!" Dong Biao screamed in agony as his wrist fell off along with the communication talisman.
The other two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, seeing the situation was dire, were terrified and had no will to fight left.
They all desperately activated their escape lights and fled in two directions.
"Can you escape?" Chen Xu asked indifferently.
He raised his sword and swung it, and two sword energies as fast as lightning shot out.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The two cultivators, who had only flown a few dozen feet, each had a burst of blood mist erupt from their backs, their eyes quickly dimmed, and they plummeted into the surging waves below.
This scene completely shattered the psychological defenses of the remaining Sea Shark Gang henchmen.
As if they had seen a ghost, they dropped their weapons, knelt on the deck crying and groaning, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Senior, spare us! Senior, spare us! We were blind! We were forced into this by Dong Biao!"
Chen Xu didn't even glance at these ants; his gaze fell on Dong Biao, who was clutching his severed wrist and convulsing in pain.
Dong Biao clutched his blood-soaked severed wrist, the excruciating pain contorting his face, large beads of sweat mixed with blood streaming down his face.
He looked at the indifferent eyes of the young man before him, which were devoid of any of the previous ferocity and arrogance, and were filled only with deep despair and incomprehension.
"Who exactly are you..." Dong Biao asked hoarsely, his voice trembling.
Chen Xu did not answer his meaningless question.
He glanced at the kneeling Sea Shark Gang henchmen and said calmly:
"From this day forward, the name 'Sea Shark Gang' will no longer exist, whether in the inner or outer seas."
"What?!" Dong Biao looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The seriously injured elderly manager of the Huanyin Chamber of Commerce, supported by his guards, was also very puzzled upon hearing this.
The guild guards and crew behind him exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if they had misheard.
The Sea Shark Gang has Core Formation cultivators and has been rampant in the seas for many years. How can they just disappear like that?
Chen Xu stopped looking at Dong Biao, flicked his wrist, and the longsword emitted a chilling aura.
"No! Spare me! Senior, spare me!" Dong Biao felt a fatal threat and made his final plea for mercy.
However, Chen Xu's sword had already struck out, instantly piercing Dong Biao's brow.
A notorious leader of the Sea Shark Gang, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, died in an instant.
The members of the Huanyin Chamber of Commerce felt their scalps tingle and their bodies grow cold.
The manager's lips trembled, and his gaze toward Chen Xu was filled with awe and fear.
