Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 402 - 252: Picking Up the Leftovers? True Martial Sect’s Rules, What Do They Have to Do with Me, the Marine Loose Cultivator Jiang Shu!_2
However, just when Lu Qingling and Jiang Shu both thought victory was assured and were about to make their final move, a voice suddenly resounded from a great distance, with waves piling up myriadfold!
"Stop!"
Several figures approached, walking on the waves. They were clad in white robes adorned with an intertwined sun and moon.
This was the garb of the Outer Disciples of the Dao Yi Sect, the self-proclaimed number one sect in the Cang Mang Domain and the leader of the righteous path!
"Who are you? This Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon is a Demon Beast I, Zhang Shangqing, hunted. The sword marks on its tail are proof. Do you dare try to take advantage of us, the Dao Yi Sect?"
Zhang Shangqing’s voice rang out powerfully, his eyes sizing up Lu Qingling. The treasured sword in his hand seemed ready to be unleashed at any moment.
Behind him, several Outer Disciples of the Dao Yi Sect firmly surrounded the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon, which was attempting to escape.
Their strength was only about that of the Mid-stage Furnace Fire Realm. They were far from being a match for the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon in its prime.
But the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon, having suffered severe injuries in two battles, had its strength and defenses greatly reduced. Thus, it was unable to escape and was now entangled by the four Dao Yi Sect Outer Disciples, roaring incessantly.
"I am merely an ordinary Loose Cultivator. Since Seniors from the Dao Yi Sect are here, this young woman shall retreat."
After giving the struggling Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon a deep look, Lu Qingling transformed into a streak of light and entered her treasure ship. As if nothing had happened, she departed the battlefield.
"Senior Brother Zhang’s fame is indeed well-deserved! Not only did he force the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon to flee for its life with just a few slashes, but he also scared off a Loose Cultivator from the sea with a single word. Following Senior Brother Zhang into the Endless Sea is truly safe, and opportunities abound everywhere!"
"Isn’t that right? We’ve only cultivated four or five Divine Skills, yet Senior Brother Zhang has mastered fifteen! His strength is so formidable that he’s even ranked on our Dao Yi Sect’s Divine Skills Leaderboard!"
"Indeed! You must know that our Dao Yi Sect’s Divine Skills Leaderboard isn’t comparable to those of other sects. In other sects, mastering ten Divine Skills is enough to be ranked, but in our Dao Yi Sect, you need fifteen! That’s why our sect is the foremost power in the Cang Mang Domain! If it were any other sect, they might not be able to subdue the Loose Cultivators around here." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"However, I must say, that Loose Cultivator is quite wealthy, having rented a treasure ship of her own. It seems she intends to journey far across the Endless Sea."
Seeing Zhang Shangqing standing in midair, obviously ready to attack, the four Outer Disciples of the Dao Yi Sect also began boasting, their expressions showing not the slightest trace of nervousness.
During their time in the Endless Sea, the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon was not the only Condensing Seed Realm Demon Beast they had slain. Others, even more powerful, had been felled by Zhang Shangqing’s sword.
SCHWING!
Frowning, Zhang Shangqing watched the departing light of the treasure ship from afar. He drew his sword and unleashed several Divine Skills. The world seemed to turn inside out, and tidal waves surged as his sword cut across the sky.
Like a comet plummeting through the heavens, it severed the flesh wings of the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon.
Blood sprayed everywhere. Demonic power, Primordial Power, and spiritual power erupted in the area. The four Dao Yi Sect Outer Disciples could only watch from the sidelines as Zhang Shangqing battled the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon.
The shockwaves from the conflict’s epicenter were so intense that even these four Outer Disciples were astonished.
Senior Brother Zhang is truly too strong!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The sea roared, countless water spouts burst around the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon, and its roar, tiger-like and dragon-like, caused the wind and clouds to gather, bringing down torrential rain.
The nearby reefs crumbled, and countless ordinary Mutant Beasts fled in panic.
After a full quarter of an hour, the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon could no longer fight and was decapitated by Zhang Shangqing with his sword.
The entire Demon Beast carcass was stuffed into a Storage Bag.
"The usual arrangement: after this Demon Beast’s carcass is sold, I’ll give you five percent of the proceeds."
With his bloodied sword, Zhang Shangqing focused his mind, and seawater welled up to cleanse his treasured sword. He sheathed his sword and once again turned to look in the direction where Lu Qingling had vanished, speaking slowly.
"Senior Brother Zhang is mighty! Senior Brother Zhang is domineering!"
"What is Senior Brother Zhang looking at now? Still thinking about the Loose Cultivator we just met? Truth be told, her figure was quite good indeed."
One of the more observant Outer Disciples noticed the change in Zhang Shangqing’s expression and approached him, asking with a sly smile.
"Yes. I always feel she’s no ordinary Loose Cultivator. There’s a significant difference between Loose Cultivators and our Sect Disciples. For instance, as long as our Sect Disciples cultivate diligently, they can usually condense a Primordial Pill. But most Loose Cultivators can only reach the Furnace Fire Realm."
"With insufficient Divine Skills and resources, how can they cultivate? Therefore, when Loose Cultivators in the Endless Sea learn our identity as Dao Yi Sect Outer Disciples, their eyes show self-abasement and avoidance, resentment and complaints, deeply hidden jealousy and hatred, or outright envy. But that woman earlier was utterly calm. This means she believes her status is not beneath mine!"
"Either she’s also a Sect Disciple hiding her identity, or she has an elder in the Endless Sea who is a Primordial Pill Realm True Man. And such a person would just leave without a word, giving up on the Four-clawed Winged Tiger Flood Dragon? Is she truly afraid of our Dao Yi Sect, or has she found something even more precious and wishes to avoid a dispute?"
This Loose Cultivator is definitely not simple.
With just a few words, Zhang Shangqing had analyzed everything clearly. He kept recalling Lu Qingling’s appearance, figure, and all the techniques she had used. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.
