Chapter 231: A Chase at Sea: The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Focused on Escape
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked back to see Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi already catching up, practically nipping at his heels.
No matter how hard he tried to shake them off, they couldn't be shaken off. Their attacks continued from behind, attempting to block his movement.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King dodged the attacks while flying toward the sea below, his spirit power controlling the water, stirring up a raging tide. He didn't seek to repel the enemy, only to block their line of sight and facilitate his escape.
"Qian Daoliu, this guy won't fight us at all. At this rate, even if we join forces, there's nothing we can do." Bo Saixi said helplessly, fearing nothing more than a desperate escape.
A demigod, just one step away from becoming a dragon, intent on escaping, wouldn't be defeated by two Ultimate Douluos, let alone two more.
"It's a real problem. We can only grind it out slowly."
Qian Daoliu had no other options. The enemy was incredibly powerful, yet showed no sign of fighting, intent on escaping. Unless a god-level intervened, there was no way out.
"Junior Brother, what should we do? This guy won't fight us at all. At this rate, he'll eventually escape over the ocean."
Bibi Dong watched the Deep Sea Demon Whale King fly further and further away, and she began to lose hope.
After all, Bo Saixi had heard that the opponent's strength was terrifying, and even Bo Saixi couldn't guarantee defeat even with her divine power.
Now, such a powerful being had no intention of fighting desperately, and was only trying to escape. They had no chance.
Gu Han, too, fell into deep thought. This situation was truly a thorny one. He was also secretly frustrated. Why had the opponent fought head-on when Tang San and the others were hunting him, but why did he just run away without even a fight?
At this rate, even if he used his Out Of Body to catch up, given his opponent's strategy of running without fighting, he wouldn't be able to stop him.
Catching up but not being able to stop them is a futile effort.
This situation is truly the most daunting. A supremely powerful being, on their home turf, intent on escaping, is truly out of reach.
"Senior Sister, it's okay. Haste won't get you hot tofu."
Seeing Bibi Dong retreat, Gu Han offered a soothing reassurance, though he had no other options.
"Well, this might be a good thing. If they were to fight like a cornered beast, we might pay a heavy price."
Bibi Dong nodded. If they were determined to escape, they could simply follow them, slowly wearing them down like a frog in boiling water. Perhaps when they were on the verge of death, they would find they had no spirit power left to fight back, making their situation easier.
However, this idea was naive on Bibi Dong's part. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, with nearly a million years of cultivation, normally remained silent, concentrating solely on accumulating strength. His spirit power reserves were formidable.
Moreover, this was at sea, where he had the natural advantages of the environment, much like the Snow Emperor in the Far North. Atop the ocean, his power was undeniably the strongest soul beast.
He might even be stronger than Bo Saixi. After all, even the Sea God, who was on the verge of godhood, couldn't kill him.
The gap between Bo Saixi's strength and that of the Sea God, who was once one step away from godhood, was still vast. Therefore, in Gu Han's opinion, in a real fight, even with Bo Saixi's divine power, without the intervention of the Sea God, Bo Saixi would be no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The group chased the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for two or three hours, intercepting him several times, but he showed no interest in fighting and fled at the first opportunity.
With his strength, forcing him to stay was impossible.
"What a tricky situation,"
Gu Han sighed inwardly. This Deep Sea Demon Whale King was truly evasive.
At night, as the moonlight descended, eight figures streaked across the inky sea at breakneck speed.
Seven of them pursued a dark and red figure, unleashing a variety of attacks, roiling the sea.
Gu Han, sword in hand, unleashed a dreadful display of all things, enveloping the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. While it didn't stop the opponent, it did slow him down slightly.
"Are you done yet?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at Qian Daoliu, who had once again blocked his path, then glanced at Bo Saixi behind him, and at the several human masters on either side. His face twitched. He'd been running for so long, and yet they refused to give up.
"Demon Whale King, we're hunting your spirit ring this time. I believe Dong'er's chances of becoming a god will greatly increase if she absorbs it."
Qian Xunji's words were still as hateful as ever, and with just one sentence, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King recalled painful memories.
"Again, becoming a god."
Veins bulged on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's forehead, and he pointed at Bibi Dong and gritted his teeth. "Let's not even talk about whether this little girl can become a god. Consider me, a 990,000-year-old spirit beast with a demigod-level spiritual power. Are you sure she can withstand my spiritual assault?"
"Haha, that's nothing for you to worry about."
Indeed, with Bibi Dong's spiritual strength, she couldn't withstand the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul backlash.
But they came prepared, having already planned it out. While Bibi Dong was killing him, Qian Daoliu would use the Angel God's power of judgment to destroy the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul in one fell swoop, preventing it from retaliating against Bibi Dong.
While it was a bit laborious, if it meant cultivating a god, Qian Daoliu felt it was worth it.
"Holy Sword!"
Qian Daoliu said no more. As he swung the Holy Sword, the six-winged angel behind him also swung his mighty sword to strike down. The divine power was something the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dreaded.
Simultaneously, Bo Saixi also took action. With a wave of her jade finger, countless water balls flew out.
Meanwhile, Gu Han and the others joined in, each unleashing their own attacking spirit skills.
Gu Han particularly enjoyed the Snow Emperor's powerful slap.
"Emperor's Palm: Great Cold, No Snow!"
Unlike Huo Yuhao's customary use of the Emperor's Palm, Gu Han preferred the feeling of soaring through the sky, covering the entire sky with a single hand.
The Emperor's Palm descended from the sky, its frigid aura causing ice crystals to form in the ocean.
"Imperial Fury: Blue Silver Bind Spear!"
Bibi Dong unleashed her new spirit bone ability. Unlike Tang San's fifth spirit ability, Bibi Dong's Blue Silver Bind Spears fired in swarms, each one even more powerful than Tang San's.
Countless Blue Silver Bind Spears fell like meteors, each tip gleaming with a captivating cold light under the moonlight.
From the Fire Phoenix's maw, blazing lines of intense heat erupted. The Azure Luan's wings spread, unleashing a dense swarm of wind blades.
Qian Xunji unleashed full force, blasting out with Angel's Glory.
Faced with these terrifying attacks, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King chose not to take them all head-on. He dodged where he could, and only fought hard when he couldn't.
However, he realized the attacks were too dense and terrifying, leaving no room for evasion.
So, he transformed into his true form, opened his bloody maw, and unleashed his innate ability: devour.
It actually intended to devour this terrifying power.
To others, this was undoubtedly suicidal, especially considering the divine attributes within it that held a profound restraint on it.
However, only it itself knew the true power and effectiveness of its devouring power.
Its maw opened wide, and an endless stream of suction erupted, forcibly converging all incoming attacks.
Then, just as the attacks were about to be swallowed, the suction suddenly vanished, and a torrent of lightning, brimming with concentrated power, erupted.
Boom!!!
Terrifying energy erupted above the sea, the various energies converging in a terrifying explosion, sending a massive light beam across the surface, illuminating the entire waters.
Such terrifying power forced even Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi to retreat temporarily.
When the explosion dissipated, there was no trace of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"He's escaped again!"
Everyone was exhausted. They had finally managed to stop him, only for him to escape again. How slippery!
"Sure enough, without the halo of the protagonist, these guys are more cunning than each other."
Gu Han thought secretly, no wonder this Deep Sea Demon Whale King can live so long, it turns out he is a sixth-rate guy.
Come to think of it, the more you like to fight, the more likely you are to capsize in the gutter, and those who like to hide, although they don't have much prospects, they live longer.
As long as you live long enough and practice slowly, you will always become stronger. Anyway, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a top-level marine soul beast. As long as you hide, you will definitely be able to grow up.
"It seems that hunting the other party is definitely not a simple matter."
Qian Daoliu sighed. This situation is also what he is most worried about. It is really difficult to deal with a strong man of the same level who is determined to escape.
