Chapter 396: Unwelcome Visitors
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
“Ding ling dang lang!”
Two flying swords were severed by Su Hao’s sword, turning into four pieces and falling to the ground together! The other six swords also dimmed.
Then Su Hao let go, allowing the box to fall to the ground, and extended a finger, pointing it at Elder Shen.
“Miniature Flowing Light Cannon!”
“Biu——”
A streak of blue light emerged from Su Hao’s fingertip and instantly struck Elder Shen.
“Bang!”
The blue light broke through two layers of shields, was blocked by the third layer, but the powerful impact flipped Elder Shen over, sending him flying backward and crashing into the steps before stopping.
Elder Shen got up, pinched a spell, stunned in place, and instantly regained some clarity!
There was no room for Elder Shen to remain confused. If he continued to rage, his life might be in danger!
Who could sever two of his artifacts in succession with one sword? Who could casually point and break through two layers of his proud defenses?
He didn’t know because he had not yet seen anyone do it.
Breaking through his defenses with one strike was simple; a combined cultivation expert could easily do it.
But severing his artifacts with one sword was something he had never dared to imagine! It should be noted that the materials used to make artifacts were inherently the toughest top-grade materials. After being infused with a large amount of spiritual power, they would generate an extremely strong and unparalleled shield, ensuring that the artifacts would not be damaged in any high-intensity battle! It could be said that even if he was beaten, his active Golden Ring Eight Directions Sword might not necessarily break.
Today, he had truly broadened his horizons!
Elder Shen roared in his heart!!! Even though he had broadened his horizons, he still couldn’t quell his anger!
The ‘Nine-Ringed Merging Spirit Lotus’ he had been pursuing for so long was right in front of him. This was the key to his breakthrough to the Unity Realm, just a little bit more and he could obtain it!
This kind of anger from failing at the last moment almost incinerated his internal organs. A massive force accumulated in his chest, eager to burst out!
But… but the only remaining trace of reason prevented him from taking a step forward, this was the calmness of anger.
It was like someone could clearly perceive that they were about to destroy the world, but dared not press the button that could destroy the world.
The ultimate contradiction.
Su Hao just asked casually. Seeing that he didn’t answer, he stopped. Since the other party was not willing to communicate knowledge, he couldn’t be bothered to say more.
“This blue-robed cultivator from the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks is not that great, refusing to answer even a single question!”
Su Hao noticed a large number of cultivators pouring into the boat warehouse, casually placed the Nine-Ringed Merging Spirit Lotus into his storage space, and flashed away.
Elder Shen clenched his fists and roared to the sky: “Ah——”
Then he crazily unleashed his output on everything around him, unable to restrain the anger in his heart anymore!
He couldn’t destroy the world, but destroying a flying boat was always possible!
At this moment, the sixth senior disciple at the Nascent Soul stage came in, seeing Elder Shen going crazy, he couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”
Elder Shen, at this moment, was furious, his eyes bloodshot, muttering in his mouth: “Crystal Armored Man! Crystal Armored Man! Ah—— Crystal Armored Man…”
Although Elder Shen shouted fiercely, if Su Hao stood in front of him again, he didn’t know if he dared to draw his sword at Su Hao again!
Su Hao flashed twice, arriving outside the small island where Feng Ling was staying, then retracted his Diamond Armor, summoned his versatile sword, and flew towards the small island with a “swoosh”.
After a moment, he saw Feng Ling sitting by the edge of the small island playing in the water as if nothing had happened!
Su Hao didn’t land, he flew around the small island once and said, “Master, stop playing, let’s go!”
Feng Ling glanced at him, observed Su Hao’s expression, arrogantly flew into the sky, and flew away first.
Su Hao smiled and followed.
…
Two days later, perhaps Feng Ling was bored after flying for so long, or perhaps she had forgotten the embarrassing incident of relieving herself anywhere under the sun two days ago, she actually took the initiative to ask Su Hao about what happened two days ago.
“Feng Wei, how did you find that small island two days ago?”
Su Hao was studying the long-range spiritual communication technology on the ‘mission scroll’. A strand of his consciousness answered casually, “It was just there, why couldn’t you see it?”
Feng Ling didn’t pursue further because she knew that further questioning would lead to ‘genius’. Instead, she asked, “Are there any other islands around that island?”
Su Hao replied, “I don’t think so!”
Feng Ling immediately widened her eyes and couldn’t help but look at Su Hao frequently. She was really curious about how Su Hao could solve his problem in the vast sea without any islands.
Could it be…
Feng Ling couldn’t help but imagine some scenes in her mind, then she blushed and felt extremely embarrassed!
On the third day, Su Hao and Feng Ling flew over the boundless sea and unexpectedly encountered five cultivators traveling together.
One Golden Core stage cultivator and four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!
After noticing the cultivators, Feng Ling’s expression changed drastically. She immediately pulled Su Hao and flew in another direction with all her strength, seeming to want to avoid those cultivators.
Su Hao said, “Master, could it be that they are coming to rob us?”
There was a hint of urgency in Feng Ling’s tone: “Not necessarily, but it’s possible. If the other party has intentions for wealth or beauty, they might rob us, then sink us to the bottom of the sea…”
The more Feng Ling said, the more flustered she became.
Su Hao said speechlessly, “If you’re so afraid, why did you dare to run in this direction with me?”
Feng Ling looked embarrassed, “The sky is high and the sea is vast, opportunities to encounter cultivators are rare… Moreover, there aren’t many cultivators on this vast sea to begin with. Generally, it’s rare to encounter them. It’s just unfortunate that we ran into someone today!”
Worried that she might have scared Su Hao, Feng Ling changed her tone, “Rest assured, Feng Wei, maybe they’re in a hurry and don’t have time to bother with us!”
Then Feng Ling saw the five cultivators turning towards them and flying towards Su Hao and her. Feng Ling immediately stopped talking!
Fighting was not an option; now they needed to figure out how to escape.
Feng Ling’s gaze fell on the long knife under Su Hao’s feet, “Feng Wei, let me ride on your knife and escape! Your knife flies faster. If we still can’t escape, we’ll dive into the sea. I have a spell that allows rapid traversal underwater, which will surely enable us to shake them off.”
Su Hao remained calm from beginning to end and said casually, “Okay. But Master, aren’t you curious about what they want to do?”
Feng Ling said angrily, “Curious, curious, Feng Wei, why do you have so much curiosity! It’s already such a time, thinking about how to save our lives is what really matters!”
Su Hao smiled, “Master, by teaching your disciple like this, you’re stifling your disciple’s curiosity!”
Seeing that Su Hao remained calm and the five cultivators were getting closer and closer, Feng Ling was thoroughly defeated by Su Hao.
Su Hao didn’t tease Feng Ling anymore and said seriously, “Master, there’s no need to run. My versatile knife is powerful; in the blink of an eye, I can cut them all down.”
“Don’t joke!” Feng Ling replied casually, thinking that Su Hao’s knife might not be able to outrun them. She stepped forward and grabbed Su Hao’s hand, then quickly performed a few gestures. A blue-green streak of light enveloped both her and Su Hao, then she bent down and dove into the sea.
For Su Hao, it was all fine! It was a good opportunity to experience how the aquatic escape spell worked.
Su Hao couldn’t control the versatile knife to directly kill the five approaching cultivators.
Because Su Hao was still unsure of their intentions. What if they were coming to promote cultivation products?
If he were to kill, he would need to understand their intentions first. Of course, those who disturbed his studies and hindered his actions were not included in this consideration.
“Splash!”
Feng Ling and Su Hao dived into the sea, splashing a layer of water.
After entering the sea, the shield covering Su Hao and Feng Ling immediately continued to emit energy, taking them into the deep sea at a considerable speed.
Su Hao carefully felt the blue-green streak of light covering his body, “It’s like a cultivation version of a submarine! It can even resist water pressure! But it can’t provide oxygen!”
Even cultivators would suffocate if they stayed in the water for too long!
Su Hao thought to himself, “In that case, it’s better for me to transform my Diamond Armor and use the ‘Rotation’ rune as propulsion for speed! But the operating principle of this shield is worth studying.”
Su Hao was lost in thought, while his radar perception remained locked onto the five cultivators behind him. Unfortunately, among the five cultivators behind him, two cultivators were also proficient in underwater escape techniques and chased after Su Hao and Feng Ling into the sea, swimming towards them!
Su Hao smiled faintly, “Trouble comes!” It really is unfortunate!”
