Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea-Chapter 43 - : Subdue the Black Water Chapter
Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Subdue the Black Water Chapter
“This…”
Feeling Lu Li’s formidable aura, the Black Water Octopus tightened all over, and its breathing became somewhat labored.
“Your Majesty, please calm your anger, a little demon like myself cannot make decisions on such great matters, how about I call for our king to come?”
Lu Li nodded indifferently, not making things difficult for this demon.
Seeing that Lu Li was agreeable, the Black Water Octopus breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly retreated towards the back, as if it were escaping from a flood of ferocious beasts.
Lu Li watched the other party leave, commanding the demon beasts to stand their ground.
A strong aura stirred the surrounding seawater, creating howling sounds.
Half an hour later.
A giant-sized black octopus demon beast, leading a group of Qi Cultivation stage clan members, was majestically advancing forward.
This demon had extraordinary cultivation, at the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation, its body over thirty meters long, and a dozen giant tentacles thrashing wildly, its eyes the size of grindstones, flashing with cold light.
At this moment, it was being surrounded by a group of demon beasts, full of momentum.
After a while, the Black Water Octopus Ancestor arrived in front of Lu Li, seeing a large group of demon beasts in the late Qi Cultivation stage before him, he grew tense.
“Where is the Spirit Turtle Ancestor? Who wants to subdue this old ancestor?”
“The Spirit Turtle Clan and Sky Blue Snake Clan are now under my control, specially inviting your Black Water Octopus Clan to join us to discuss important matters…”
Lu Li spoke with a chilling tone.
At the same time, his aura suddenly pressured those around him.
The demon beasts from the two clans responded in unison, their demonic energy soaring into the sky, causing the surrounding seawater to start churning wildly.

Upon seeing this, the Octopus Ancestor’s aura weakened.
Seeing that the enemy was strong, and there was no chance of winning a great battle, he suddenly felt somewhat faint-hearted.
Especially the leading two demon beasts, one giant python posed a significant threat.
The other was even more astonishing, an aura of sharpness seemed to burst forth, giving it a sensation of facing death.
“Your Majesty, please do not be angry. This demon is willing to join, but according to the rules of the Demon Clan, the strong prevail!”
“Send someone from your side to defeat me, and thereafter, the whole clan will be at your Majesty’s disposal.”
“Agreed!”
Lu Li’s face remained impassive.
Then, he directly said to Iron Pillar beside him, “This battle is yours, and if you win, I’ll reward you with five spirit fish.”
Hearing there was food, Iron Pillar’s eyes lit up, then he quickly turned his eyeballs, “Ten fish!”
“You glutton, eight fish, and no bargaining.”
Lu Li scolded with a laugh.
“If you lose, you won’t even get fish bones.”
Upon hearing this, Iron Pillar’s aura surged explosively, then he swam out of the formation, heading towards the front.
The Black Water Octopus Ancestor also swam out from his formation, heading towards the central clearing.
Before long, the two sides met in a dark trench on the seabed.
“Boom…”
As soon as they met, both sides’ auras burst forth violently, shaking the surrounding seawater into a frenzy, emitting a howling sound.
Even the chaotic rocks on the seabed were swept away, and the surrounding seawater became murky.
The two demons confronted each other for a while, like the tip of a needle against wheat, their auras still soaring crazily.
Lu Li watched the confrontation of the two demons without much worry.
With Iron Pillar’s current strength, he was entirely comparable to his opponent.
Although only at Qi Cultivation level ten, the gap between Qi Cultivation level ten and twelve was not huge, and as a natural-born king, his profound foundation was enough to bridge this gap.
Moreover, Iron Pillar had been hunting and battling deep-sea demons throughout these years, fighting his way to Qi Cultivation level ten, his battle experience was extremely rich.
Indeed, what happened next confirmed his guess.
At the scene, after both demons had pushed their auras to the limit, they both made their move at once.
Clearly, both wanted to seize the initiative, and without using any flashy spells, they directly employed the body, the pride of the Demon Clan.
The Octopus Ancestor mobilized all its demonic power, the dozens of giant tentacles ferociously striking at Iron Pillar.
Summoning the sound of tsunamis, its momentum was astonishing.
Iron Pillar remained very calm upon seeing this, he suddenly leaped up, dodging the opponent’s tentacles.
Swift as lightning, he reached above the opponent’s head, then channeling all his demonic power, his serpentine tail ferociously swept down towards the Octopus Ancestor’s head.
With the enhancement of demonic power, the tail shone with a gray-white light, carrying a massive evil aura, the patterns at the end of the tail making it look particularly dazzling.
In just an instant, the massive tail reached above the opponent’s head.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Only a massive collision echoed through the depths of the sea.
The Black Water Octopus Ancestor crashed towards the ocean floor’s silt, the surrounding water madly rushing in, swirling with countless sediments, obscuring visibility.
“Oww…”
The Black Water Octopus Ancestor roared in agony.
Then, he swiftly stood up and charged towards Iron Pillar above, clearly losing some reason in his rage.
He activated over a dozen tentacles again, discreetly yet unrevealed, forming a giant cage and covering Iron Pillar with it.
This time, he had learned his lesson, considering how fast the opponent was, he decided to trap it.
Clearly, the Black Water Octopus Ancestor had a good plan, but what followed completely caught him off guard.
Iron Pillar’s tail flicked lightly, his entire body quickly dodging sideways with the grace of a startled swan, slick as a gliding dragon, swiftly leaping out of the opponent’s encirclement.
Lu Li watched this scene and couldn’t help but marvel.
Iron Pillar’s combat sense was increasingly sophisticated, completely mocking the opponent at will.
He began quietly watching Iron Pillar’s performance, which was very pleasing to the eyes.
Iron Pillar, having dodged, flashed to the rear right again.
Like a bolt of lightning, he moved to the opponent’s rear flank.
Before the other could react, he activated his demonic power once more, furiously smashing down on the Black Water Octopus Ancestor’s head.
And at the same spot as before!
“Ah!”
With a scream, the Black Water Octopus Ancestor was heavily slammed onto the ocean bed, the stones below scattering and shooting everywhere, emitting piercing screeches.
Despite his thick skin and flesh, after receiving two consecutive heavy blows at the same spot, he was starting to falter.
His head wound was now a bloody mess, oozing tendrils of azure blood, dyeing a small area of the surrounding sea.
Iron Pillar, seeing this, seized the opportunity to beat the falling foe savagely, taking advantage of his weakness.
He dodged to the side again in a flash, appearing like a ghost behind his opponent.
Lu Li, seeing this, was also somewhat surprised.
He even saw a hint of a dragon in Iron Pillar’s movements.
The speed was indeed peculiar, even faster than when he himself flew through the air.
“Could the bloodline inheritance really be so amazing?”
He couldn’t help but wonder. Currently, Iron Pillar had only awakened a sliver of bloodline power, yet he was so formidable. Just how powerful must the Hornless Dragon Clan in the depths of the Inner Sea be?
He collected his thoughts and looked back at the battlefield.
Iron Pillar was completely playing with the Black Water Octopus Ancestor, easily dodging every attack, then fiercely slamming right onto the opponent’s head.
The Black Water Octopus Ancestor’s head wound was now deep enough to expose bone, with screams continuing incessantly.
After a while longer, unable to hold out any more, the Black Water Octopus Ancestor had to admit defeat.
“Great king, have mercy, Little Demon submits.”
Continuing the fight would likely cost him his life, let alone the fact that a “giant demon” was eyeing him eagerly.
He wisely chose not to resist stubbornly. After all, the Demon Clan respected strength above all, and joining the winning side wouldn’t be a loss, although he could no longer be as carefree as before…
Iron Pillar, hearing this, did not attack again, then swam over to Lu Li’s side.
Head held high, he had an expectant look, waiting to be praised.
Lu Li found this amusing: “Well done, there will be plenty of spirit fish for you when we return.”
With that, he gave no more attention to the proud Iron Pillar, instead swimming towards the Black Water Octopus Ancestor.
Seeing his much more subservient attitude, he was very satisfied.
It seemed that, no matter where, “force” was the ultimate argument anyhow.
“Take these Medicine Pills then.”
Lu Li utilized the Water Repelling Technique, retrieving two white Medicine Pills, one Spiritual Beast Pill, and one Healing Pill, all small and translucent, with a thread of medicinal fragrance wafting in the surrounding sea.
As soon as he took them out, the opponent fixated intensely on the Spiritual Beast Pill in his hands, his expression fervent.
Wary of Lu Li’s power, the Black Water Octopus Ancestor didn’t dare make a move. He was somewhat in disbelief, “These are for Little Demon?”
He had killed Human Clan Cultivators long ago and obtained such pills from them; these could greatly purify his bloodline, leaving a deep impression on him.
“Mmhmm…”
Seeing Lu Li nod, he happily accepted the Medicine Pills: “From now on, the Black Water Octopus Clan will follow the Ancestor’s orders.”
Seeing his agreeable reaction, Lu Li was very satisfied and nodded.
The strategy of striking then offering a treat worked remarkably well.
Constantly giving benefits could make these demons lose their fear; this was a truth he had realized during his years of ruling his tribe.
Maintaining a balance between force and strategy was the true path.
