Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 872 - 237: The Fleeing Demons and Devils! The Sword that Split the Sea!_3
"Even if I can’t beat you," the Abyssal Demon King thought shamefully, "as long as I can escape, I can outlast you and wear you down to death!" But it didn’t feel there was anything wrong with that idea.
Because it was the truth!
In the blink of an eye, a myriad of thoughts flashed through the mind of the Abyssal Demon King, and a fierce glint surfaced in its desperate eyes. That hint of ferocity added to the already turbulent aura it emitted, to the point where the crew aboard the merchant ship found their breath nearly halting.
The Abyssal Demon King thrashed its eight massive tentacles, churning the waters for miles around, rapidly forming an enormous whirlpool in this area of the sea, within which a devilish wind blew fiercely, carrying clouds of demonic mist. These clouds rubbed against each other, sparking crackling thunder and lightning.
The merchant ship, carrying Fan Wu, was immediately caught in the grip of this massive whirlpool, uncontrollably tossed by the torrent, shaking violently, and hurtling towards the center of the whirlpool with terrifying speed!
This scene shocked the sailors so much they were stunned, their pupils shrinking, Yun Jiuqing and Xing Fengzi included. If...the ship were pulled into the whirlpool and slammed into the seabed, the entire vessel would probably shatter, wouldn’t it?
And them, aboard the ship, crashing into the seabed at such a speed—they’d surely become a mushy mess. By then, perhaps they’d become food for the fish in the sea!
Cries of terror rose without end on the ship; every face was etched with extreme fear.
In their eyes, there was nothing but utter despair.
Waves stirred up by the whirlpool nearly capsized the merchant ship, and the flickering lightning amidst the demonic mist grazed past and missed the vessel. The deafening thunderclaps and the fizzing sound of electric arcs scared nearly everyone to the point of being deathly pale. Even the usually brave sailors had their legs damp with fear.
"Ah! Master...Master! We can’t control the ship!" they howled. "We...we could crash into the seabed! If we do, the surrounding sea will close us in and we’ll drown in the water!"
"Quick! Grab onto something, don’t get flung out by the whirlpool! Once you’re thrown out, there’s truly no saving you!"
"What the...frigging heck, why is there such a terrifying sea beast? Are you sure this isn’t a demon or devil? Even if it’s one, it couldn’t possibly be this big, right? Why...why is it so huge?"
"You’re asking me? Who the hell should I ask? It’s over, it’s all over... I thought we could survive, but now it looks like we’re dead for sure!"
"Even if Daoist Fan Wu could kill that giant Sea Beast, he can’t save us!"
"Wuu wuu wuu... We should never have gone to sea. How did we run into so many sea beasts?"
"Aaaaahhhh!!"
"..."
The cries of terror coming from behind even overwhelmed the roaring of the waves for a while. Fan Wu glanced back and saw the merchant ship behind him being dragged deeper into the massive whirlpool by the Abyssal Demon King, which seemed not to be targeting him, Fan Wu, but rather the merchant ship behind him with this tactic.
"This guy, truly despicable in his cunning!" Fan Wu muttered to himself. He raised the Demon-slaying Sword in his hand and brought it down toward the sea churned into a massive whirlpool by the Abyssal Demon King.
Buzz!!!
The Demon-slaying Sword tore through the air with a high-pitched sword cry, and the huge slash that burst forth seemed to stretch for kilometers. When this sword strike hit the massive whirlpool below, the towering waves it raised fought against the whirlpool.
Giant waves actually pushed the merchant ship upward forcefully, as if a giant hand made of seawater lifted the ship high up.
Every sailor on the ship watched in horror as their vessel, previously sucked below by the whirlpool, was hoisted out of the water by a huge wave, hoisted up more than ten meters above sea level.
They could also see waves and whirlpools crashing against each other below, the splashing sound so loud it made their eardrums ring, with shocking ripples spreading rapidly all around.
Such a spectacle could truly be described as a natural disaster!
However...they all clearly knew that this natural disaster was caused by a demon and Daoist Fan Wu’s hand!
They watched as the giant whirlpool stirred up by the demon was stopped by a single sword strike from Daoist Fan Wu. The whirlpool had disappeared, replaced by an even rougher sea below. Each of those huge waves carried the power of thousands, and just a graze could shatter their merchant ship.
Buzz!!!
Without warning, a bright sword light swept across the sea surface, smoothing out the massive waves it had raised. And the giant wave that had hoisted the ship sank back down. The ship, narrowly, settled on the sea amidst the chaos. Everyone on board was tossed around violently, each unable to prevent themselves from vomiting whatever they had eaten.
