novelA Way to Kill Him
| ← Ch.0867 | Ch.0869 → |
It was as if the huge hand had cut through the sky to reach Lu Xuan. It was so enormous that there was no way for him to outrun it.
Just before the hand got to him, a bronze bell appeared over his head and blocked the firey humongous hand.
The bell rang so loud that everything in the vicinity stopped moving instantly for a short while. Even the hundred meters tall waves calmed down too. It was as if they were frozen solid.
Even though everything had stopped for a second, it was more than enough for Lu Xuan to dive into the deep ocean with the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell still protecting him.
"Shit!" Li Shou cursed in surprise."What the hell is that thing?"
He could not believe that Lu Xuan was not taken down in one hit. However, he quickly regained his wits and recited a Water Dispelling Chant before diving into the Tempest Ocean after Lu Xuan.
The Tempest Ocean was known to everyone else as one of the most dangerous places in the world. Thousands of people from the Tempest Continent lost their lives to the monsters lurking in the ocean every year.
Yet, to Li Shou, the Tempest Ocean was only dangerous to other people, not someone powerful like himself.
Even among all the monsters in the ocean, being in the Consolidation Realm meant that Li Shou was still one of the strongest. As long as he was careful enough, he could still rampage around in it, and no one would dare to fight him.
That was why he could chase after Lu Xuan without any hesitation and dive straight into the dangerous territory.
Despite entering the Tempest Ocean earlier, Lu Xuan could still feel Li Shou following closely behind.
The latter wasn't going to spare the former's life just because they were in the water now.
"I have to find a way to kill him!" Lu Xuan gritted his teeth as he frowned.
Even though he had successfully repelled Li Shou's attack with the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell and did not suffer any damage, he could still feel the difference between him and a Consolidation Realm cultivator from a single attack.
If Li Shou continued to pursue him like this, he would have no chance to train and cultivate.
Just as Lu Xuan was pondering what to do next, another huge palm moved towards him. It almost shattered the bell.
"What a pain!" Lu Xuan cursed. Fortunately, he was able to teleport using the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell before he suffered any serious damage from the attack.
However, Li Shou did not give up his pursuit despite missing his attack once again.
He continued to shower Lu Xuan with attacks, sending wave after wave of tremors through the calm water.
Since the pressure deep inside the ocean was immense, normal attacks would not even disturb the water flow, but Li Shou's attacks, which sent ripples miles away, just proved how scary one in the Consolidation Realm could be.
The monsters that were resting deep in the ocean all opened their eyes at once. At first, they were angered by the fact that someone was disturbing their sleep, but the second they sensed Li Shou's Consolidation Realm power, they decided to close their eyes and go back to rest.
These monsters wouldn't even dare go near the human who was in the Consolidation Realm. Even the monsters with lesser brainpower understood that Li Shou was at a level they could not defeat.
However, there were also stronger monsters sensing the attacks and were already on the move.
Lu Xuan continued to dive deeper into the ocean until a group of monsters suddenly entered his primordial spirit-sensing range.
The monsters were known as deep-sea snapping turtles. They had the head of an alligator but the body of a turtle. They were a clan of monsters that possessed a unique bloodline.
Lu Xuan could sense that even the most mediocre member of the group was in the Divine Transformation Realm, which totaled around a few hundred of them. There were also a few dozen of them in the Flower Realm.
And a few had already gathered all three flowers and achieved the Three Flower Realms. Despite having a different cultivation system than humans, Lu Xuan could still gauge their levels through their energy.
Lu Xuan swiftly chanted the Immortality of the Divine Tortoise, and his energy immediately disappeared from Li Shou's senses.
It was as if a radar had suddenly lost track of him.
"What? Where did he go? How did he make himself disappear?" Li Shou could not hide his surprise as his Consolidation Realm primordial qi was able to function close to normal inside the water, meaning that his senses were far better than most beings alive.
Even though his sensing range was slightly shorter than when he was on land, Lu Xuan was still supposed to be in that range. It was practically impossible for him to lose track of his target.
Never had Li Shou ever expected that this was actually a trap set by Lu Xuan. The latter could've easily escaped by using the Immortality of the Divine Tortise, but not doing so showed that he actually had something in store for his pursuer.
Since Li Shou was not going to let Lu Xuan live, the latter decided to reward him.
Not knowing how he'd lost track of Lu Xuan, Li Shou quickly dived towards where he last sensed his prey and entered the area controlled by the deep-sea snapping turtle.
His brimming primordial qi alerted all the deep-sea snapping turtles immediately.
As soon as Li Shou entered the monsters' territory, a huge deep-sea snapping turtle shot towards the human like a bullet.
The monster opened its mouth wide, ready to swallow its target.
"Stupid monster, " Li Shou scoffed and grabbed the monster by its mouth. By channeling his terrifying energy into his arms, the man ripped the monster in half.
Despite being a powerful monster, it was nothing when compared to Li Shou, who was in the Consolidation Realm and was able to take it down in one shot.
With the monster being ripped into two, blood began to seep into the water, which alerted the remaining deep-sea snapping turtles lying under the seabed.
All of them shot towards Li Shou while attacking him with water magics.
The unique bloodline of the deep-sea snapping turtle boosted their water magics' power. Thus, even a Consolidation Realm cultivator like Li Shou would have a hard time fending off attacks from more than a hundred deep-sea snapping turtles at once.
As the vice-leader of the Xuanhuo Sect fought against the monsters, Lu Xuan took the chance and went deep into the monsters' territory that had a very high condensation of spirit qi.
It didn't take Lu Xuan long to realize that the monsters' territory actually hosted the source of the Deep Sea Spirit Qi.
There were a lot of similar spirit qi sources on Earth. They were all scattered on land or in the ocean, but most of them were actually high up in the sky.
The qi that these sources were producing was the reason why Earth's spirit qi was regenerating.
It was also how Lu Xuan achieved his first leap in power. It was due to him finding a spirit qi source first and was able to absorb the qis from it and increased his power by a few folds.
However, all of the sources on Earth were now in the control of the Earth Federation, and they weren't allowing any of these sites to be privatized.
