Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 867 - 865: Departure

Early the next morning, the group set off on time. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Following the marked location on the map, the group arrived at a sea area shrouded in heavy mist.

This sea area, due to the pervasive fog, is seldom visited under normal circumstances, and is sparsely populated. If it weren't for extracting information about Spirit Snake Island from the Witch Sect Sub Branch, they would never have come to such a place.

The Flying Puppet glided low over the sea, with Ling Chen and Lan Xingling on it, swiftly skimming over the water.

In several hundred meters' distance, other team members were advancing at a steady pace, with Fang Qingwei at the forefront, clearing the way.

Even Ling Chen, with his rudimentary understanding of Array Formations, felt inadequate, unlike Fang Qingwei, who had a certain level of understanding. She held an ancient compass in one hand and a complex Array Disk in the other, both tools for breaking through the Maze and finding direction.

In terms of knowledge of Array Formations, the Liu Family of the Heavenly Constructor Family were the most knowledgeable, but there was no one from the Liu Family here.

Ling Chen's understanding of Array Formations was rudimentary; otherwise, he would have acted alone long ago.

Occasionally, one or two sea beasts would pop out from the sea and attack the group.

However, these sea beasts were not strong and posed no threat to the group.

At the founding of the Central Dynasty, there was a large-scale campaign against the sea beasts wreaking havoc in various sea areas.

Most of the sea beasts in the shallow sea were slaughtered or driven to the depths of the sea. Those that remained were very weak.

Yet, as the group ventured further, sea beasts appeared more frequently, and the fog on the sea surface thickened.

Wooooo...

Suddenly, the once calm water surged with massive waves.

The storm scattered everyone's positions.

Ling Chen channeled True Qi into the Flying Puppet below his feet, stabilizing it.

"Darn! We've lost contact with Sister Fang and the others."

After a big wave passed, when Ling Chen and Lan Xingling reacted, the others were already out of sensing range, with no trace left.

Splash!

The waves continued to surge, soaring over ten meters high, like walls of water, wanting to fling the small boat skyward. Meanwhile, on the water's surface, gusts of fierce wind formed tornadoes, emitting a "woo woo" sound.

"Ah!"

The roars of fierce sea beasts echoed for hundreds of miles, even dispersing the clouds in the sky.

A massive black shadow shot out from the water, revealing menacing scales, each as large as a palm.

"Boom!"

The water used its force, fiercely beating down.

The Flying Puppet was knocked flying.

"Swoosh!"

Ling Chen transformed into a white light, soaring into the sky, where True Qi gathered in his legs, pausing mid-air before shooting higher, rising more than thirty meters above the water.

At that moment, a giant black head emerged from the water, opening its mouth wide, intending to swallow Ling Chen whole.

"So it's a Fourth Grade Sea Beast, the Black Wind Sea Python."

The Black Wind Sea Python, a sea overlord, not only moves freely in the water but also controls the power of the hurricane, whipping up fierce winds, creating massive waves.

When the Black Wind Sea Python gets angry, hundreds of miles of sea area would suffer.

Ling Chen pinched his index and middle fingers together, and the Sword Intent from the sword qi in his brow brightened, forming a sword of Sword Intent.

"Whoosh!"

The Red Sky Sword let out a sword cry, flying out from Ling Chen's waist, like a sword dragon, entering the Black Wind Sea Python's mouth, issuing a "chi" sound.

How sharp is the Red Sky Sword? In just a moment, it pierced through the protective astral qi of the Black Wind Sea Python, passing through its teeth and tongue, flying into its belly.

The Black Wind Sea Python writhed in pain, its body rolling vigorously, emitting peculiar howls from its mouth.

Black beams of demonic power shot out from its body, transforming into wind blades, flying in all directions.

The waves on the surface became even more turbulent.

Standing amidst the storm, Ling Chen remained as calm as still water, unfazed by the tumult.

Whoosh!

Raising colossal waves, the Black Wind Sea Python locked its giant pupils on Ling Chen, opening its bloody maw to swallow him.

"Be careful!"

Lan Xingling formed hand seals, controlling a Water Dragon to sweep towards Ling Chen's location.

"No worries!"

Ling Chen shook his head, still composed and serene, his eyes flashing with a sudden gleam, like sword qi sparking with lightning. In the next moment, the Black Wind Sea Python opened its mouth in pain, spitting out the Red Sky Sword, which, covered in thick blood, flew out of its mouth and back into Ling Chen's hand.

"Boom!"

The Black Wind Sea Python's body crashed down heavily, splashing massive waves.

Moments later, a massive corpse floated to the surface, over seventy meters long, its body thick and fearsome, with scales looking like wrought iron, reflecting a metallic sheen.

In an instant, the entire water area was dyed red with blood, emanating a strong bloody stench.

"Is it dead?"

Lan Xingling was startled, somewhat amazed at Ling Chen's efficiency.

This Black Wind Sea Python was a Fourth Grade High-rank Sea Beast, and Ling Chen's cultivation was only at the Sky Apex Realm Third Layer. Unexpectedly, he killed it seemingly effortlessly.

However, Ling Chen knew well that if he hadn't possessed the Sword Spirit Embryo, and his Sword Intent hadn't been so powerful, killing the Black Wind Sea Python would not have been as easy.

Flying onto the Black Wind Sea Python's corpse, Ling Chen examined it, finding its scales extremely hard, not something ordinary weapons could penetrate.

No matter what, this Fourth Grade High-rank Exotic Beast had ultimately fallen by Ling Chen's sword, bringing peace to the surrounding hundred miles of sea.

Lan Xingling lightly tapped her toes on the water, soaring like a swallow, gracefully landing on the Black Wind Sea Python's corpse, crossing dozens of yards.

The Black Wind Sea Python carried many treasures, such as its skin, which could be used to make soft armor.

Its teeth could be crafted into hidden weapons, poison daggers, and poison darts, among others.

Even its blood and flesh, once processed, provided martial artists with increased physique and enhanced poison resistance.

But for Ling Chen, although the treasures on the Black Wind Sea Python were valuable, he was no longer interested.

The only thing that interested Ling Chen was the snake gallbladder of this Exotic Beast.

Consuming the Black Wind Sea Python's snake gallbladder would allow warriors to enter a state of clarity and tranquility during cultivation, increasing the chance of breaking through.

Even for Top Sky Apex Strong, this snake gallbladder still had decent effects.
