Chapter 414 The Chase in the Ocean.
Just as Wu Xuan was pondering how to face Wang Qiu'er, a continuous dark shadow obscured the azure sea below.
Wu Xuan frowned slightly, and the next moment a black figure as fast as lightning burst out of the sea below. But Wu Xuan was faster than him, flicking his finger to kill the black figure instantly, and then, with the suction force of the whirlwind, he grabbed the black figure's corpse in his palm.
It was a fish, dark blue all over, about half a foot long, with a pointed mouth at the front that looked like a sharp dagger, accounting for one-third of its total length.
A swarm of swordfish! Wu Xuan cursed his bad luck. Ever since he awoke on the high seas, he hadn't encountered a single good thing; he was either being harassed or on his way to being harassed. Swordfish weren't powerful, but they were large, social sea spirit beasts. A single swarm consisted of at least ten thousand individuals.
Such a large population makes the swordfish extremely aggressive and territorial.
If a school of fish attacks in unison, its power would be so great that even a Soul Master would have to retreat. Human Soul Masters, with no way to escape on the sea, dare not recklessly expend their Soul Power.
But Wu Xuan is no ordinary Soul Douluo; anyone who dares to provoke him will pay the price.
As the left leg bone of Wu Xuan's Silver Scale Griffin shone brightly, before Wu Xuan could even attack, the swarm of swordfish leaped out of the water and launched a barrage of attacks on him.
The dense array of water swords, like a barrage of arrows, completely obscured the light in this area of the sea, leaving it dim and lifeless.
Wu Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. The left leg soul bone of the 400,000-year-old Silver Scale Griffin—Sen Lei Yao Shi!
A deep rumble suddenly exploded. Almost instantly, lightning danced across the sky centered on Wu Xuan, and clusters of pale white lightning balls, wreathed in silver light, rapidly condensed. Their terrifying power shattered the water sword, and even the swordfish charging through the air was electrocuted into charred remains.
One after another, balls of lightning, wreathed in a ghastly white light, crashed into the sea and exploded, and almost instantly, lightning danced in the air.
The seawater became the perfect vessel for lightning, with streaks of pale white lightning dancing wildly in the water, illuminating the dark sea area with crystal clarity.
Large numbers of swordfish were electrocuted and died on the spot. In an instant, the spirit rings that floated out were like fireworks exploding, illuminating the sea area with a dazzling array of colors.
Electrofishing! And electrofishing in the ocean! No boy could resist such a temptation, especially when schools of fish turn belly up – the sense of accomplishment is indescribable.
Wu Xuan slowly approached the water's surface, swung his hand several times, and captured two ten-thousand-year-old swordfish kings in his hands.
This is seafood of ten thousand years old; only the royal families of various countries in the Douluo Continent can afford to eat it. He can't miss such an opportunity.
As for the remaining dead fish, Wu Xuan could only say it didn't matter; there would be plenty of predators to enjoy this easy feast later.
"Whoosh—" Just as Wu Xuan was admiring his masterpiece, the sea not far away began to tremble, and three towering columns of water shot towards the dead fish like cannonballs.
"Splash! Boom!" The water column crashed onto the sea surface, splashing up huge waves. The surging waves blasted the dead fish into a shower of flowers. At this moment, Wu Xuan, whose face was ashen, also spotted the outlines of the three figures.
Those are soul beasts from the same clan, the unicorn whale!
The narwhal is an extremely powerful whale-like spirit beast. An adult narwhal is at least fifty meters long, and a huge horn on its forehead signifies its status and prestige.
The larger the unicorn horn, the higher its status.
Judging from the size and soul power fluctuations of the three giant whales before them, the strongest of the unicorn whales was at least 40,000 years old. The other two also possessed at least 20,000 years of cultivation.
Damn it, he had just swatted a large swarm of flies when three more appeared. All of this made Wu Xuan realize once again that there was a conspiracy at play.
These sea spirit beasts are all blocking his progress, as if it were an organized and premeditated act.
That's right! The ocean is the Sea God's domain, and at least 60% of the sea spirit beasts in the ocean worship the Sea God. With just a word from Tang Buddha, I believe many single-minded sea spirit beasts will fight to the death for him.
Wu Xuan's silence wouldn't deter the three unicorn whales. The sea surged, and deep whale roars echoed throughout the entire sea. Two enormous blue lights condensed at the front of the two whales' mountain-like backs. The terrifying blue light only condensed for a moment before a thick column of water, over five meters in diameter, shot into the sky again with a distorted halo.
Two younger whales launched the attack first. Immediately afterward, a deep, muffled roar echoed from the direction of the 40,000-year-old unicorn whale, sending massive sound waves crashing against the shore. All the surrounding seawater was bathed in a thick blue light; at that moment, it seemed as if the sky was the earth, and the sea had become the azure sky.
Wu Xuan was slightly surprised by the changes around him. Such a wide range of gravity control was quite remarkable for this top predator among the sea spirit beasts.
However, Wu Xuan's second soul skill, which is based on wind element, allows him to teleport! As Wu Xuan's body slightly twisted for a moment, the two intersecting water columns passed directly through the afterimage left by Wu Xuan and missed.
"Spiral Ripple!"
As Wu Xuan revealed his form, his fifth soul ring lit up, and countless deep blue wind blades, each over ten feet wide, appeared out of thin air!
Wu Xuan raised his left foot and kicked out from a distance. The countless wind blades intertwined with each other, like a cylinder covered with light blades, and shot out in a spiral at high speed.
The two giant unicorn whales, whose cultivation levels were over 20,000 years, had never seen such a scene before. They suddenly shook their tail fins, splashing up a curtain of water, hoping to use this to block Wu Xuan's attack.
Wu Xuan scoffed at this, thinking that a sea spirit beast was ultimately just a sea spirit beast, too stubborn and incapable of escaping.
If these two giant unicorn whales give up blocking Wu Xuan and dive into the sea, then Wu Xuan's move might not necessarily kill them.
The spiraling column of wind was directly split in two under the control of Wu Xuan's tangible and substantial spiritual power.
Two columns of wind drew an astonishing arc in the air, easily shattering the water curtains released by the two giant whales and piercing their bodies.
On the other side, the 40,000-year-old unicorn whale fared no better. With Wu Xuan closing in instantly, its 400,000-year-old left arm soul bone activated, and a punch that erupted like a volcano directly blasted through the surging seawater and killed it.
After taking down the three flies blocking his way, Wu Xuan unleashed his second soul skill and charged directly towards the direction he had sensed.
"."
Dozens of kilometers away!
"Roar~!" A burst of golden light flashed, and as Wang Qiu'er thrust out the Golden Dragon Spear, a seahorse spirit beast that pounced to block Wang Qiu'er was instantly killed. With the life force of the Golden Dragon Spear absorbing the blood, Wang Qiu'er regained her blood.
Wang Qiu'er turned her head and glanced at the large white figures rapidly approaching and surrounding her in the distance. She gritted her teeth and once again used the momentum to soar into the sky.
The flight soul tool on its back spread its wings and fled at full speed to the other side.
In the distance, white fins pierced the sea surface like white arrows; those were long-bodied sharks, numbering at least two or three hundred.
