Chapter 328: Deep Sea Battle: System Mission Issued!
Li Ran walked out of the sect.
Disciples and deacons he met along the way all looked at him curiously, but no one dared to come over and talk to him.
After all, even great Elder felt a chill run down his spine. Everyone felt great reverence towards him.
He left through the mountain gate.
Guard glanced at him and nodded but did not say anything.
Li Ran stepped on the reef and walked to the spot where no one was. He leaped forward.
Silver light flickered beneath his feet, separating the water surface from the soles of his shoes, and he headed towards the northeast.
After all, this place was still within the Myriad Sword Pavilion's territory, so it was best not to use spirit energy to prevent others from detecting him.
After walking for about ten kilometers, he seemed to have passed through a layer of membrane. He looked back and saw that the surface of the sea was empty. The entire Cloud Sword Island had disappeared.
This meant that he had already walked out of the grand protective formation.
Li Ran raised his head and looked forward, momentarily lost in thought.
Eastern Sea was simply too big.
Looking out, there was no end to the azure sea.
At this moment, although the sea surface was calm, under the clear water, there was faint darkness.
Deep sea had devoured all the light. It was unknown what was hidden in it, and it made people feel a little frightened.
Li Ran released his spirit sense and sent it underwater. However, too many creatures were in the sea, causing quite a bit of disturbance to his soul force.
He could only sense that the depths of water were several thousand meters deep.
"Jianli is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so it's impossible for her to go deep."
Sword Qi under Li Ran's feet erupted and flew toward the northeast. At the same time, his spirit sense continuously scanned downwards.
Hearing that Yue Jianli had come out to rescue them, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Although her strength was very strong, she was young. Eastern Sea was filled with danger. Who knew what kind of monster was hidden there?
Therefore, he decisively decided to come out and take a look.
If she really encountered any danger, he would be able to save her in time.
After traveling for who knows how many miles, Li Ran sensed something and frowned slightly.
"As expected, she encountered trouble…"
……
Deep in the Eastern Sea, this place was a thousand meters away from the surface of the water. The sunlight could no longer penetrate this deep sea.
In this gloomy water, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
A group of green-clothed disciples stood in a circle with their backs against each other. The long sword in their hands rippled with divine light as they opened the sea to protect them.
Their faces were pale, and their clothes were tattered. Quite a few of them were covered in color, and blood flowed out along with the sea.
There were several giant sharks beside them. Their bodies were stiff and badly mangled as they slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
There were dozens of sharks swimming in front of them.
Their heads were triangular in shape, their mouths and noses sharp, and their blue-white eyes were fixed on everyone.
Tooth Hunting Shark.
A demon beast was unique to the Eastern Sea.
Their strength was usually between the foundation establishment realm and the Golden Core realm. They often moved about a thousand meters under the sea.
Originally, this wasn't a ferocious beast, but this group of disciples wasn't very lucky. They encountered a group of wandering Tooth Hunting Sharks, including a mid-Nascent Soul realm Shark King!
Size of the Shark King was about five times that of an ordinary shark. Its blue skin was covered with spikes, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth that made one shiver.
Yue Jianli held her sword, her expression grave.
Originally, she had only been surrounded by a few sharks, so she had easily taken care of the team. Unexpectedly, she had attracted a group of sharks.
"Report the casualties," she said.
"Five of them injured. Three of them were seriously injured and had lost their ability to fight." Disciple beside her replied.
Yue Jianli gritted her teeth and asked, "How much water talismans are left?"
The disciple whispered, "Only the last three remain."
Yue Jianli didn't hesitate to say, "Give the water talisman to the heavily injured. Break out from the southwest corner. Don't keep fighting. I'll take care of the rear."
"Chief…"
"Don't say too much."
Yue Jianli's eyes darkened. "We have to get out of here as soon as possible, or we'll probably be in big trouble."
After the intense battle just now, blood had already leaked out. If they were to attract any more vicious beasts, it would be terrible.
"Come with me after three breaths."
"Yes!"
……
Not far away in the waters, Li Ran's figure hid within them as he silently looked at them.
"Fortunately, I came to take a look. Otherwise, this group of sharks wouldn't be easy to deal with."
Actually, with Yue Jianli's strength, it was very easy to deal with a Nascent Soul-level Tooth Hunting Shark. Even these sharks could not stop her.
However, it was a bit difficult to protect the other disciples.
After all, the sea was too heavy, restricting the ability of cultivators to use their power.
"Let's look at the situation first. If they can't escape, I’ll kill them all."
In front of Yue Jianli's safety, hiding his identity was no longer important.
Moreover, he had absorbed Emperor-level Sword Qi, so his strength was simply unmeasurable. Even if he acted exaggeratedly, it did not matter.
Ding!
At this moment, a system notification sounded in his ears.
Li Ran couldn't help but be stunned. "I triggered a system mission?"
System interface appeared before him.
Mission released.
In the deep sea, danger lurks everywhere. Yue Jianli is in danger. Host, please kill the attacking demon beasts!
"That's right." Li Ran nodded his head in satisfaction.
Originally, it was impossible for him to sit idly by. Now that he had a mission reward to take, wouldn't he be happy to oblige?
Right at this moment, the Myriad Sword Pavilion disciples had already begun to attack.
Cultivators and the Tooth Hunting Sharks were in a battle!
Sword intent flickered, and powerful Qi swept across the sky, slashing down on the shark's body, causing blood to be scattered everywhere.
This group of disciples' cultivation was not low, and their combat ability was not bad. However, there were simply too many sharks, so they were quickly at a disadvantage.
"The storm is approaching…" His voice echoed at the bottom of the sea.
Yue Jianli's entire body was wrapped in Sword Qi, and the Autumn Water Sword in her hand trembled as it split apart.
One point two, two point four… They transformed into countless sword shadows in the sea, aiming at the Tooth Hunting Shark horde from afar.
"Evil Fiend Annihilation!"
Sword rain instantly poured down, and it easily penetrated the shark's body amidst the muffled sound.
Blood spread through the seawater.
Boom!
Waves rose from the sea and condensed into a semicircular water membrane that resisted the baptism of the sword rain.
Nascent Soul realm demon beast had already grasped the divine ability.
At the same time, the Shark King quickly attacked Yue Jianli. Its mouth was filled with sharp teeth as it fiercely bit at her.
Although it was extremely large, its speed was extraordinary.
Yue Jianli's long sword flickered with divine light and became a ball. However, it was difficult to take it down.
After all, this was its home ground.
As for the other disciples, they were caught up by the sharks, so they were instantly stretched thin. It was even more difficult to break out of the encirclement.
A heavily injured disciple used the Water Spirit Talisman to quickly fly toward the surface of the water. However, the Tooth Hunting Shark behind him was even faster than him. Its big, stinking mouth fiercely bit towards him.
"Be careful!" Yue Jianli's expression was anxious as she tried her best to escape.
Disciple wanted to raise his sword to fight back, but the intense pain made it impossible for him to use his strength. He could only watch the shark bite down in despair.
At this moment, a silver light shone in the dark sea!
