Chapter 171: The Evil Demon Killer Whale King
With the guidance of the seafaring Thorny Douluo, the group reached the deep sea where the Evil Demon Killer Whale King resided in just about five days.
"This is the area where the Evil Demon Killer Whale King resides,"
Thorny Douluo exclaimed.
Against the vast expanse of the ocean, the Spirit Hall's massive ship seemed dwarfed.
"Well, but how do we lure that creature out?"
Guangling Douluo stood on the bow, one hand on his hip, the other shading his eyes as he gazed out at the rolling ocean.
With such a vast ocean, even if they reached the Evil Demon Killer Whale King's domain, they wouldn't be able to find him unless he emerged.
"I do have a plan,"
Gu Han said, stepping forward and standing on the bow. With a slight glance downward, his terrifying mental power instantly pierced the sea surface, probing deep into the ocean.
Now, with his ever-increasing spiritual power, Gu Han had reached a state where he could travel across the continent with it, even retrieving treasures along the way.
In Douluo Continent, this might be called "spiritual power leaving the body" — but that wasn't quite accurate.
A more precise term would be the legendary Out of the Yang Spirit, reaching the profound realm of Wandering and Folding Flowers.
Gu Han had originally believed he would only attain this level at the Titled Douluo rank, but it seemed he had underestimated himself — he hadn't expected the Snow Empress's sacrifice when he obtained his seventh spirit ring.
His Yang Spirit entered the deep sea and instantly reached the bottom. Down there, numerous round-headed whales swam, their bodies radiating an eerie red spirit energy — a perfect match for the Evil Divine Sword.
"Not bad… but where's the Evil Demon Killer Whale King?"
Though he had found multiple orca pods in this area, he hadn't yet located the king himself.
That, however, was easy enough.
He followed the pods and soon found a group of Evil Demon Killer Whales over fifty thousand years old on the seabed not far away. Among them, the one with the strongest aura — the one they all revered — was clearly the Evil Demon Killer Whale King.
A smile curved Gu Han's lips.
"I found you."
His Yang Spirit instantly returned to his body.
It sounds long, but from the moment Gu Han's spirit left his body, found the whale king, and returned — it took only a few breaths.
"What's the plan?"
Guangling Douluo asked, puzzled by Gu Han's quiet, unblinking gaze at the water.
Bibi Dong, noting Gu Han's condition and knowing he had just left his body, also asked,
"Junior Brother, did you find the Evil Demon Killer Whale King?"
"Yes."
Gu Han nodded slightly. He raised his hand and pointed to a patch of sea ahead.
"Senior Guangling, if you unleash your eighth spirit skill in that area, you'll definitely be able to lure him out."
"Is your spiritual power really that strong?"
Guangling's eyes twitched slightly in disbelief. He, a level 97 Titled Douluo, couldn't locate it with his own power — and this kid did in a few breaths?
"Well… after the Snow Empress's sacrifice last time, my spiritual power has grown considerably."
"I see."
Guangling Douluo unslung the Guangling Divine Bow from his back and waved his hand, signaling the others to stand back.
"Fifth brother, control yourself! Don't kill it outright!"
Qianjun warned from the side.
At Guangling's current level, his arrows were deadly — if his eighth soul skill landed cleanly, the Evil Demon Killer Whale King might not even survive.
"I know, I know, stop nagging."
Guangling curled his lips. He wasn't some rookie. And anyway, their opponent was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast — how could it die from just one arrow?
He held the bow horizontally, his short legs bracing it as he pulled the string.
A blue magic circle swirled before him. A flash of cold light flickered under the sun.
"Eighth Soul Skill: End."
As his calm, milky voice rang out, the invisible arrow flew toward the sea patch Gu Han had indicated.
The arrow struck the sea — but nothing happened.
No ice.
No sound.
Perfect silence.
The Evil Demon Killer Whales beneath the waves didn't sense a thing.
Then, the Evil Demon Killer Whale King's eyes suddenly snapped open.
"Oh no! Danger!!"
"Defend!!"
he roared — but it was already too late.
From the seabed, countless icy arrows surged upward, exploding with a terrifying cold aura. In an instant, dozens of whales were frozen and shattered from below.
The King suffered injuries as well, but he had reacted quickly — dodging the worst of the attack.
He looked around.
Most of his tribe was either dead or crippled.
"Damn you humans!!"
he roared, crimson eyes burning with rage as he fixed his gaze on the ship above.
That arrow had been too powerful — not just in strength, but in intent.
He didn't just want to fight now.
He wanted revenge.
"Here they come!"
Even the Soul Sages on the ship could feel the surging murderous intent.
Everyone instantly summoned their martial spirits, preparing for battle.
Guangling, Qianjun, Jiangmo, Ju Douluo, and Ghost Douluo flew off the ship together — five powerful auras locking onto the target.
"What?!"
The Evil Demon Killer Whale King froze in mid-air.
They'd assumed there was only one Titled Douluo. Just one would've been a tough fight.
But five?
"A trap!"
The King was horrified.
This wasn't about vengeance or territory — these humans had come specifically for him.
If he didn't run now, he might not leave alive.
"Roar!! Charge!!"
He understood the reality: with five Douluos locking onto him, he'd have to sacrifice something to escape.
His tribe would do.
After all, at sea, these land-dwelling spirit masters were weaker.
And he had several subordinates over seventy thousand years old — even two nearing ninety thousand. They could hold off the humans for a time.
"Roar!!"
His subordinates roared in unison, unleashing waves of Killer Whale Slashes.
"Gathering of Cold Ying!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled and drew his transformed chrysanthemum blade, cleanly slicing apart the incoming waves.
Ghostly figures darted across the sea, cutting down the Evil Demon Killer Whales one after another.
Qianjun and Jiangmo wielded their Coiling Dragon Staffs, smashing through the charging beasts without mercy.
Guangling continuously fired spirit arrows — each one taking the life of a high-level whale.
Soul Saints and Douluos among the entourage also joined the fight, releasing spirit forms and engaging the enemy.
The sea became a slaughterhouse.
Yet… the Evil Demon Killer Whale King never struck.
Instead, he took the opportunity to slip silently, quietly, very quietly, beneath the surface — hoping to escape unnoticed.
"Trying to run?"
"Emperor's Palm: Great Cold, No Snow!"
Gu Han's chilling voice rang out across the sea.
A terrifying cold aura swirled above the surface.
A massive palm print of ice descended slowly.
With a soul power of level 80, Gu Han's palm strike was no less than the ninth soul skill of a Titled Douluo.
He had already fallen in love with the Snow Empress's Three Absolutes.
Unleashing them felt... exhilarating.
"ROAR!!"
The Evil Demon Killer Whale King panicked.
This… this palm could kill him.
And it came from a mere Soul Saint?
Without hesitation, he unleashed his full soul power to block the strike.
BOOM!!!
A terrifying wave swept across the sea.
The Evil Demon Killer Whale King, a true hundred-thousand-year-old beast, still had power — and survived.
Gu Han's palm was powerful, but it wasn't quite enough to end him.
The King let out a furious roar and swung his massive tail, unleashing a crimson crescent slash — a Demon-Breaking Slash.
But if one palm wasn't enough...
Then Gu Han would just throw down another.
A wicked smile curved his lips.
"Emperor's Palm: Great Cold, No Snow!"
The second icy palm met the crimson slash — both exploded in a blinding stalemate.
"What the hell…"
The Evil Demon Killer Whale King stared in disbelief.
He was a veteran soul beast, one of the strongest in the ocean — feared by all but two: the High Priest of Sea God Island and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
He was third only to them.
And now...
Now he had just been forced into a draw by a Level 80 Seventh Ring Soul Saint?
