Chapter 165 Group Battle
This was Yun Yici's first time experiencing such a multi-person melee, fighting against so many demons surging at once, which inevitably made her a little flustered.
Fortunately, Huai Chuan kept giving her pointers, and Ning Tinglan and the others were always there to help her.
The fellow students entrusted their backs to each other, trusting each other completely.
Soon, Yun Yici adapted to the battle at an astonishing speed.
I have to thank Shen Huaichuan in my dream for letting me fight an octopus in the sea, which helped me get used to the underwater world.
Yun Yici raised her sword and felled one sea monster with each strike, but sea monsters kept coming to replenish their ranks.
She didn't even have time to see the faces of the sirens who died at her hands.
She had only one thought in her mind: kill!
If she doesn't kill these sea monsters, she and her fellow disciples will be killed by them!
Ning Tinglan and Yun Yici both wield swords, and their teamwork is seamless.
Rong Xuan summoned the repaired human puppets and manipulated them to kill sea beasts, fighting ten against one.
Having survived the tribulation of lightning amidst the twilight clouds, his physical strength is now more than a hundred times greater than before. He can crush the head of a sea monster with his bare hands without any external aid, and screams fill the air wherever he goes.
Wen Fuyue dared not stray too far from her disciples, and tried her best to clear a safe space around them to reduce the pressure on Yun Yici and the others.
Li Shao, Ling Wan, and Xue Lian no longer had so many concerns and charged directly into the sea monster horde to fight them.
Snowy Ribbon and Black Ribbon transformed into their original forms and roared, causing the seawater to tremble.
Although the seabed is not as icy and snowy as Kunlun, the water can freeze, so they are not entirely without advantages compared to the aquatic sea monsters.
In an instant, wails and roars mingled together.
The deep blue seawater was stained red with blood, and corpses floated on the water. Everything Yun Yici could see was tinged with pale red.
These sea monsters, under the command of Wulin, are the lowest-ranking minions in the demon realm.
As long as you get the rhythm right, dealing with Yun Yici and his junior disciples is effortless, not to mention that Wen Fuyue can cut down a whole group with a single sword strike.
"Fight! Shui Lan! My Ling clan has no grudge against you, and has even been on good terms with you for many years. Today you are aiding and abetting evil, aren't you afraid that Wu Lin will turn his attention to you tomorrow?!"
Amidst the wails and screams, the woman's shrill question was extremely jarring.
Yun Yici turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came, but Huai Chuan in her hand did not slow down at all, and cut down two more sea monsters in succession as if slicing vegetables.
The question came from Ling Wan, whose demonic halberd was now covered in bits of flesh.
Ling Wan glared venomously at the two figures among the sea monsters who seemed to be leaders.
Unlike these strangely shaped sea monsters, the man and woman surrounded by the sea monsters were handsome and looked no different from human cultivators.
The male demon named Xiangzhan was dressed in a black robe with wide sleeves and a narrow waist, and he looked very heroic. The female demon named Shuilan was dressed in a blue dress, the hem of which almost blended into the seabed.
When the two demons heard Lingwan's question, Shuilan smiled gently and said, "Sister Lingwan, we had no choice."
“Our two clans, like your Ling clan, have submitted to the Scaleless Demon Lord. If we do not agree to his attack on the Ling clan, we will be the ones to be wiped out.”
Xiang Zhan coldly replied, "The Scaleless Demon Lord did not intend to take the lives of your entire clan. You are the one who refused to listen to reason and now you have to suffer the consequences."
"It's just a few cubs. If you can't bear to part with them, why don't you ask your people to have more?"
"As long as you have enough children, what's the big deal about losing one or two?"
“Ling Wan, you are too stupid as the clan leader, that’s why your son died, and you couldn’t even protect the clan members you tried to protect by sacrificing your son.”
No one will thank you.
When Ling Wan thought of the child who had been captured by Wu Lin and whose flesh had been continuously extracted for fifty years while she was still clinging to life, her eyes turned bloodshot.
She roared, and the demonic halberd in her hand burst forth with intense blue light, gathering all the seawater around her. It was as if she was going to take Xiang Zhan and the others down with her.
Li Shao knew things were going badly. The Emperor wanted to take control of the Ling clan by starting with Ling Wan, so he couldn't let Ling Wan, who had signed a master-servant contract with the Emperor, die here.
He stopped Ling Wan and said, "Don't be impulsive. As long as Your Majesty kills Wu Lin, these opportunists will naturally submit."
Li Shao was not wrong. The reason why Xiangzhan and Shuilan, the two demons, had been hiding among the sea monsters and had not shown themselves for so long was because of the sudden imperial edict.
It's true that demons submit to the strong, but how much of that is genuine and loyal is questionable.
The battle between the imperial edict and the scaleless on their heads has not yet been decided, and for the sake of the future development of their race, they will not easily offend either side.
The way the two were shirking their duties and being lazy was just like those lazy bums who were hiding in the shadows for fear of being purged because their boss was about to be replaced.
Li Shao's words instantly brought Ling Wan to her senses. Looking around, she saw that the members of the Xiangzhan and Shuilan clans who had participated in the battle were indeed hiding and dodging, and only a few had been killed or injured.
Ling Wan suppressed the hatred in her heart, but the demon halberd in her hand became even more ruthless, sweeping away a group of sea monster minions.
Yun Yici also realized this and subconsciously looked up at the higher sea area.
In order to avoid harming Yun Yici, Wen Fuyue, and others, the emperor deliberately moved the battlefield against Wulin to a higher place.
The intensely burning flames dyed the area above everyone's heads red, and when you looked up, it looked like blooming red spider lilies, or like hellfire hanging overhead, ready to fall and punish sinners at any moment.
However, Yun Yici knew that the emperor would never do that.
The imperial edict was sent to a high place precisely to protect them.
To Yun Yici's surprise, the space above their heads instantly burst into flames the moment she looked up!
Even those fighting below felt the terrifying aura emanating from them.
Everyone held their breath and their movements slowed considerably, not to mention the low-level siren minions.
Seeing this, Yun Yici took the opportunity to harvest another group of ignorant lackeys.
Everyone quickly realized what was happening and, working together, successfully cleared out the minions brought by Wu Lin, even as Xiang Zhan and Shui Lan were passively watching.
With the henchmen gone, Xiang Zhan and Shui Lan, along with their people, also stood on the opposite side of the crowd.
However, they simply stood there, showing no intention of making a move.
Wen Fuyue originally wanted to go up and help Di Zhao, but she saw Xiang Zhan and Shui Lan, two demons, staring at her menacingly.
Wen Fuyue was worried that they might suddenly attack and hurt Yun Yici and the others, so to be on the safe side, he chose to stay with Yun Yici and the others.
The imperial edict, now at the heart of the battle, almost vomited.
He is a fire-type divine beast, and he dislikes water. When he is at a disadvantage in fighting against scaleless creatures in water, he can make up for it with his companion fire.
To his utter surprise, the scaleless creature was so slippery that not only could his fire not touch it, but it would also spew out a sticky net!
One day, Emperor Zhao was caught red-handed by the net, which landed on his magnificent red robe made of fire feathers. The sticky texture drove Emperor Zhao completely mad.
