Chapter 935: Chapter 903: The Octopus Horde Attacks, Shanshan Strikes

Even though Yang Zhixian had reached the Golden Core Stage, fighting multiple Red-striped Octopuses at once wasn’t easy, especially while also having to protect the Cyan Dragon; it was somewhat taxing.

He had been voyaging on the sea for decades and had encountered countless demon beasts, but it was his first time facing these Red-striped Octopuses.

Upon hearing Yang Zhixian’s account, Lu Ping nodded indifferently.

"I promised you earlier that I will intervene when necessary."

Hearing Lu Ping’s response, Yang Zhixian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"With your word, senior, I can be at ease."

After leaving the room, Yang Zhixian no longer needed to worry.

For some reason, even if the Red-striped Octopuses attacked again, he believed Lu Ping had enough strength to handle them.

The Azure Dragon continued to sail for half a day, and the worries of Yang Zhixian came true.

In the once calm sea, waves suddenly surged up, and several giant tentacles broke through the surface, reaching for the Azure Dragon.

Even though the Azure Dragon had a defensive barrier for protection, it couldn’t withstand the beast’s grip, being dragged into the sea.

Several Yang Family cultivators quickly took action, wielding flying swords and other magical artifacts, fiercely cleaving at those tentacles.

These magical artifacts were Tier Two and Tier Three, and after hitting the tentacles, they only left a faint trace and couldn’t injure the creature at all.

"How is this possible? We can’t harm these demon beasts—could they be at the Golden Core Stage?"

Among the Yang Family cultivators, a late-stage Crystallization Cultivator exclaimed, recalling their shaken flying sword in shock.

The flying sword he wielded was the Fire Sun Sword, a Tier Three Top-Grade known for its formidable attack power.

With his own great strength, he could harm even a Golden Core Stage demon beast.

Yet, when the sword struck, it failed to injure the beast.

So the strength of this demon beast must be at least at the Golden Core Stage.

"Everyone, don’t panic."

Another Yang Family cultivator shouted, wielding an ice mirror, and attacked one of the tentacles.

The ice mirror emitted extreme cold power, and in an instant, the tentacle was frozen.

This was a Golden Core late-stage Red-striped Octopus, and against the icy freeze, it released its Golden Core demon power, breaking free of the ice and scattering pieces of it. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"A Tier Four Red-striped Octopus!"

The Yang Family cultivator called out in shock and furiously activated the ice mirror to attack the octopus.

However, due to the disparity in strength, no matter how hard he attacked, it didn’t affect the creature.

Seeing this, the Yang Family cultivators could only shift to a defensive stance, reinforcing the Azure Dragon’s defenses.

Not only did the circular defensive light curtain outside the Azure Dragon become thicker, but beneath it, a golden ring appeared, turning that part of the sea golden.

This was a defensive realm capable of transforming the sea surface into solid ground.

This way, the Azure Dragon was separated from the water by a defensive realm.

The ship wouldn’t sink into the sea from pulling force, requiring at least Nascent Soul Stage strength to break through.

As the Crystallization Cultivator looked tense, Yang Zhixian appeared beside him, wielding his lifebound magical artifact—a golden spear that pierced through the Golden Core Red-striped Octopus.

With a bang, this strike packed a punch, piercing the tentacle and breaking it apart as the magical power within shredded it like blades.

Crashing.

The injured beast stirred up waves, and another three huge tentacles emerged from the sea and swung towards the Azure Dragon.

Meanwhile, the number of Red-striped Octopuses gathering increased, reaching sixteen, with the lowest at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The highest had already achieved the Ninth-Layer Golden Core Stage!

Aboard the ship, both the Yang Family cultivators and the loose cultivators, as well as Zhang Mingyi and Lin Xiaohui, were all fighting against the demon beast group in the sea.

In the Chaotic Sea, the demon beasts were ferocious, and their fighting was equally intense.

Many attacks, such as Fire Bomb Technique and Ice Spike Technique, were released at the Red-striped Octopuses.

Lu Ping was also drawn by this battle, standing on the deck observing.

Next to him, Shanshan, looking somewhat excited, watched the battle in the sea but did not rush to intervene, instead choosing to observe.

"Three Golden Core late-stage, ten Crystallization Stage, and four Foundation Establishment Stage—this demon beast group is quite strong."

Shanshan counted the Red-striped Octopuses, tallying their strengths and comparing them to the cultivators aboard the ship.

She then shook her head lightly, with a look of regret as she spoke.

"No, among these people, only that Old Yang has reached the Golden Core Stage, with three at the Crystallization Stage, and the rest at the Qi Cultivation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage—they can’t win like this."

That said, she crossed her arms, one hand touching her chin as she muttered.

"If I make a move, I can first eliminate those three Golden Core Stage octopuses; the rest won’t pose much threat to me."

"But if even the master hasn’t taken action, it might not be right for me to step in first."

Hearing Shanshan muttering, caught between wanting to act and hesitating, Lu Ping smiled wryly and slowly said, "Stop mumbling, go and help them."

Once Lu Ping’s words had fallen, Shanshan smiled, turning to Lu Ping and said.

"Hehe, with your strength, master, dealing with them would be overkill, so leave it to me."

"I see they treat us quite well; it wouldn’t hurt to help them."

Shanshan leapt into the air, not battling above the sea but diving into the water to fight the Red-striped Octopuses there.

Not far away, Yang Zhixian had been paying attention to Lu Ping.

Seeing that Lu Ping seemed uninterested in intervening, he thought perhaps Lu Ping considered the Red-striped Octopuses too weak, hence had no desire to act.

He planned to slay a few more Red-striped Octopuses, thinking if he couldn’t handle the three Golden Core Stage octopuses, he could ask Lu Ping to act later.

Now, seeing Shanshan take action seemingly at Lu Ping’s command, Yang Zhixian felt a wave of joy.

Compared to Shanshan’s intervention, the combat power on the sea displayed by the Yang Family cultivators was especially massive.

Various flames, magic, and spirit talismans were unleashed, occasionally erupting with thunderous noises.

With Zhang Mingyi and others’ support, they did manage to kill several Tier Two and Tier Three Red-striped Octopuses.

The battle continued on the sea, but the commotion beneath the water was much smaller.

Several Red-striped Octopuses, who had been overturning rivers and seas, quickly perished, their massive tentacles drooping lifelessly in the sea, causing splashes.

Shanshan acted swiftly, instantly killing two Golden Core Stage Red-striped Octopuses and another three late-stage Crystallization ones.
