Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 873 - 237: The Fleeing Demons and Devils! The Sword that Split the Sea!_4
When they finally came to their senses and looked up in terror toward the direction of the Sea Beast... they found that the Sea Beast had plunged downward, disappearing into the depths of the sea. Observing the bubbling sea surface under the dim moonlight, people could vaguely make out that the Sea Beast was getting further and further away from them, its speed of retreat even faster than its approach.
Such an inconceivable scene left everyone on board utterly dumbfounded, with one of the sailors unable to hold back, murmuring in shock, "It feels like, it’s getting further and further away, could it be... it wants to escape?"
As soon as these words slipped out, even the sailor himself was startled by his own assertion, shaking his head hurriedly, "Impossible? What the hell... am I thinking?"
"It’s not entirely out of the question," suddenly, a woman’s voice came from nearby, causing the merchant sailor to pause.
"If that Demon... is fleeing because of us, then indeed it would be impossible. Because among us, none can pose any threat to it. But if it is fleeing out of fear of Daoist Fan Wu, then the possibility... is quite significant."
On this merchant ship, aside from Yun Jiuqing, the only woman who had always been inside the Destiny Coffin, the voice of a woman was unmistakable.
As one of the few Cultivators on board, Yun Jiuqing’s words were believed by many. After all, in such a situation, who else could they believe if not the Cultivators? Believe in themselves? Or in these sailors, none of whom could even recognize a single character?
Even Huo Zhijin, the owner of Huo’s Maritime Commerce, believed what Yun Jiuqing said, which is why his face was filled with a look of utter astonishment, "Are you saying that Daoist Fan Wu scared off that Sea Beast?"
Yun Jiuqing nodded slightly, "That should be the case indeed. Otherwise, why would it leave? In the eyes of Demons and Devils, we are all nothing but food, would it be afraid of us, its food? Clearly not. But Taoist Priest Fan is different from us, Demons and Devils may not fear us, but they do fear Taoist Priest Fan!"
After hearing Yun Jiuqing’s words, although it seemed like she was singing Fan Wu’s praises, Huo Zhijin couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted, his heart that had been suspended in fear finally settling down.
"So long as it’s gone... so long as it’s gone... even being scared away is good," Huo Zhijin did not dare to hope that Daoist Fan Wu could kill such a large Sea Beast. The fact that Daoist Fan Wu had managed to drive it away was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
This meant that everyone on this ship could survive, not end up in the belly of the Sea Beast, spared from becoming a delicious meal on its plate.
Suddenly!
Huo Zhijin sensed something was amiss, for he noticed that Daoist Priest Fan had not returned. When he turned his head towards the direction where Fan Wu had been, he was shocked to discover that Daoist Priest Fan was actually walking on air!
...
Fan Wu, of course, would not simply let the Free Attribute Points walk away from before his eyes; such Demons were, in his view, ready for the taking. How could he possibly let it escape? And the Abyssal Demon King’s escape speed, in Fan Wu’s eyes, was nothing extraordinary.
When Fan Wu’s foot pressed down against the void, it caused a violent air burst, visibly forcing ripples beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, he shot forth like a bullet, covering hundreds of meters in an instant.
Such speed was several times that of the Abyssal Demon King! Furthermore, his manner of moving through the empty air was extraordinary, very different from the floating and ethereal stance of those so-called celestial beings, after all, their styles were entirely different.
The intense commotion coming from behind was, of course, noticed by the Abyssal Demon King in the sea. In the midst of its frantic escape, it extended a huge tentacle above the surface of the water.
The newly emerged tentacle had only a small tip, and incredibly, at the very tip it grew an eerie eye out of thin air! This eye looked back, or rather, up behind it.
For the source of the tremendous ruckus was coming from the space above behind it... And when the Abyssal Demon King looked, it almost shuddered in shock. For with this single eye, it saw Fan Wu!
"How can this human be so fast?" The Abyssal Demon King couldn’t help but let out an incredulous gasp, "I had already trapped his companions in a whirlpool, how did he rescue them so quickly? Or is it... he simply chose not to save anyone? Did he leave all his companions behind and came straight for me?!"
Realizing this possibility, the Abyssal Demon King was overcome with regret, wishing it could start over. But who could have known that a simple sea hunt would bring it face to face with such a character? Who could have known... it would be so unlucky?
