Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 866 - 236: Demons and Devils of the Deep Sea! The Bewilderment of Demons and Devils!

After a series of panics, the sailors on the merchant ship finally calmed down a bit. They had come to understand that the sea beasts harassing their vessel had all been dealt with by Daoist Fan Wu. Those sea beasts, which had filled them with dread, were now just so many corpses.

The sailors on the merchant ship... with a mixture of unease and curiosity, cautiously approached the so-called sea beast corpses. They could see that these creatures were extraordinarily disgusting, completely unlike anything they would find aesthetically pleasing; the sight was chilling.

Especially the mermaid Half Demons, which had been ravaged by Fan Wu’s punches, looked even more terrifying and horrifying. Their scales were terribly torn and uneven, and underneath the scales, their skin was covered in ghastly wounds.

Some were missing arms or legs, and most of the mermaid Half Demons had their eyes burst, leaving only empty sockets. Their sharp, ferocious teeth were also broken and incomplete, and their bodies were coated in a stinking blood and some unknown viscous fluid, making the smell quite assaulting to the senses.

A bolder sailor gently prodded the corpse of one of these mermaid Half Demons with a stick. They then discovered that the body’s muscles were very mushy. They had assumed that the sea beasts were naturally like this, but in reality, it was the result of Fan Wu’s crushing punches.

"Goodness..." An older sailor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, speaking with palpable relief, "So these are the sea beasts that have been attacking the merchant ships? Each one... is pretty damned ugly!"

"Freaking hell!" A hot-tempered sailor violently kicked one of the corpses: "It was these bastards that sank our ship, right? My uncle was on that damn ship!"

"So, these are the demons that caused us so much anxiety, making us afraid to sail the seas. To think there were so many of them, at least a dozen! And there might even be more of them around."

"Of course! If there weren’t many of these monsters, how would they be able to harass so many merchant ships? If they were few in number, they would have been wiped out by the Great Clans already."

"Hmph! Surely these sea beasts didn’t know we had Daoist Fan Wu on board, did they? Too bad they’ll never know... If they did, they probably wouldn’t have dared to attack us tonight."

"How can they be so ugly, and why do they look so much like people? The way they look is really creepy."

"Looking like people is normal, isn’t it? Monkeys and gorillas also resemble humans, don’t they? Why don’t you find them creepy?"

"Hey? Why are you always arguing with me, kid? Are you saying they aren’t creepy? I saw you earlier, your legs were shaking!"

"Hiss... All the sea beasts in the sea have been dealt with by Daoist Fan Wu, so we should be safe now, right? There shouldn’t be any more problems, right?"

"That’s not for sure, didn’t it say... there are more than these sea beasts? What if another dozen suddenly appear? That’s also uncertain!"

"Ptui, ptui, ptui! Can you not curse us with your doomsaying?"

"Spit! Bad luck!!"

"..."

Those on the ship were naturally very indignant towards the mermaid Half Demons because it was these damned mermaid Half Demons that had made them afraid to sail for a good while and caused one of their merchant ships to sink. And on that ship were many of their relatives; this was truly... a vendetta of blood, an enmity that could not coexist under the same sky!

Huo Zhijin, the owner of the Huo Shipping Company, was also very relieved. He looked at the long line of sea beast corpses on the deck and felt all the pent-up frustration of recent times being vented out. His entire mood was now one of relief, and the stone that had been suspended over his heart had finally landed, bringing a sense of liberation at last.

At the same time, he realized that Daoist Fan Wu from the Great Zhou Dynasty was truly not ordinary in his strength. He was even more formidable than any cultivator he had ever seen before. Those cultivators from the Great Clans didn’t even come close to matching a single hair on Daoist Fan Wu!

As for why he knew this so clearly, it was because he had once had some connections which allowed him to sail with a merchant ship belonging to one of the Great Clans. It was during that voyage that he had learned how terrifying the power of the Great Clans could be.

Unfortunately, compared with Daoist Fan Wu... the power of the Great Clans he had witnessed before truly was nothing to write home about! He didn’t know whether it was because those Great Clans weren’t really that strong, or whether Daoist Fan Wu was just exceptionally powerful?

Never mind, these cultivators were all so mysterious, and as an outsider, he couldn’t really understand the ins and outs of it.

As long as nothing unexpected happened tonight, that was all that mattered.

Just as this thought flashed through Huo Zhijin’s mind, he suddenly had a bad premonition. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. He thought he might just be overly nervous and imagining things. But a voice in the back of his mind told him—after being at sea for so long, his instincts were usually very accurate, and he should always trust his gut.
