Tens of thousands of water waves, like myriad arrows shot simultaneously, rushed toward Ye Zhen from all directions, all eager to swallow this delicious morsel in one gulp.
The flesh full of Spiritual Power of a Martial Artist was fatally attractive to the Demon Beasts!
Woo!
At Ye Zhen’s location, the water churned as an enormously huge Demon Beast appeared out of nowhere within the splashes, its gigantic one-tailed pincer swung fiercely, and the recently vanished authority of the One-tailed Crab King dispersed once again!
Boom!
Instinctively, the moment the pressure appeared, tens of thousands of water beasts that had gathered from all around instantly scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in panic at a speed even faster than their arrival.
Occasionally, a few resentful Demon Beasts, when faced with the One-tailed Crab King’s huge pincer, were frightened and scattered!
Seeing the Demon Beasts that had just charged at him scatter cleanly, Ye Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment he saw the tens of thousands of Demon Beasts rushing toward him, Ye Zhen was truly terrified. If they really had charged, even a Martial Artist at the Establishment Realm’s King level would probably not have been able to withstand them.
At the critical moment, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense attached to the newly condensed Essence Spirit Pearl of the One-tailed Crab King, instantly transforming into the appearance of the One-tailed Crab King, his Divine Sense furiously driven, releasing the unique authority of the One-tailed Crab King, thereby breaking the siege!
Previously unfelt, after breaking the siege, Ye Zhen realized something unusual.
After transforming into the appearance of the One-tailed Crab King, deep underwater, he unexpectedly felt a strange sense of familiarity, and with just a slight movement of his body, he could swim a great distance as fast as lightning, a speed that wasn’t even inferior to his speed on land.
Before this, Ye Zhen’s speed while swimming in water had not been even a tenth of his speed on land.
"Could it be that this is the ability the One-tailed Crab King gave me? To have the same mobility in water as a Water Beast?" Ye Zhen could not think of any other reason.
"I wonder what would happen if I dispel the Phantom Form while in water?"
With a thought of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen reverted back to human form, but his Divine Sense still immersed in the Essence Spirit Pearl of the One-tailed Crab King, his body still emitting the unique authority of the One-tailed Crab King.
With his Divine Sense maintained, a difficult-to-describe sense of familiarity surged into Ye Zhen’s heart.
It was like when Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense first dived into the Shadowless Mountain Penetrating Beast King’s Essence Spirit and entered the ground.
With a slight sway of his body, Ye Zhen’s body shot through the water like an arrow, his speed incredibly fast.
Compared to his previous clumsy movements in the water, it was a world of difference.
Now, Ye Zhen was like a skillfully swimming fish, every movement of his body while swimming was precisely right, every muscle change around his body was like instinct, maximizing Ye Zhen’s speed in the deep water!
For a time, Ye Zhen swam around like a fish in the water, occasionally encountering one or two Water Beasts that were not afraid of the weakening authority of the One-tailed Crab King around Ye Zhen, yet they posed no threat to him!
Because Ye Zhen’s speed in the water was not slower than theirs, and due to his smaller size, Ye Zhen was even more agile than they were.
"Haha, this ability is too powerful! If I can’t win a fight, I’ll just jump into the water. Most Martial Artists would have their strength somewhat diminished once they enter deep water, right?"
It didn’t take long for Ye Zhen to have his fill of playing with this new ability granted by the One-tailed Crab King.
Not only the speed in the water, when his Divine Sense touched the Essence Spirit Pearl of the One-tailed Crab King, Ye Zhen became a true Water Beast, understanding water to the utmost degree.
He instinctively reacted to every current he encountered.
Even if Ye Zhen dispelled the protective Purple Jade War Armor and exposed his entire body to the water, he wouldn’t feel any suffocation at all.
But that was all, he didn’t feel suffocation, Ye Zhen ultimately couldn’t be like a real fish, wanting to survive in the water still relied on his Inner Breath, though the consumption of Inner Breath was much reduced compared to before!
"Now, Ten Thousand Spirit Lake for me is like my own backyard, simply as free as one could be!"
Ye Zhen couldn’t hide his excitement. While swimming around like a fish, he suddenly remembered Feng Qingyue.
He wondered how Feng Qingyue and Yang Yiguan were doing?
However, Ye Zhen wasn’t too worried; he had attracted away the biggest variable, the One-tailed Crab King, and they were staying near the Spirit Boat with its imposing presence, so the Water Beasts of Ten Thousand Spirit Lake would not dare to attack.
"I must hurry and find them, they might have already gone ashore!"
Ye Zhen suddenly leaped out of the water, discerned the direction, and with a light sway of his body, he shot like an arrow toward the opposite shore of Ten Thousand Spirit Lake.
Being in the water felt even more free than flying, and along the way, the scenes he saw, bizarre and wonderful alike, all kinds of unseen and unheard Water Beasts and aquatic plants passing by, were truly a feast for the eyes.
"Eh? What is that?"
When Ye Zhen leaped out of the water for the third time to discern the direction, the corner of his eye caught sight of a body of water dozens of miles away.
That patch of water had turned completely blood-red, blood-red lake water spreading out in all directions nonstop, with occasional towering waves.
"There’s a battle going on over there, who could it be? How did they get here?"
With a thought and a slight shift, a white wave trailed immediately behind Ye Zhen.
The distance of thirty li, Ye Zhen reached in less than forty breaths’ time, moving almost a li per breath.
With blood waves churning ahead, the vision slightly obscured, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense silently radiated outward.
The moment Divine Sense was released, Ye Zhen was shocked!
Fengh Qingyue!
In the midst of the blood waves, it was indeed Fengh Qingyue!
In her left hand, Fengh Qingyue was gripping a massive dark green spherical object, the Purple and Blue Double Rings flashing nonstop around her, her fingertips rapidly flickering with purple light. That was the Purple Mist Finger, a Divine Power Martial Skill of which Fengh Qingyue was particularly proud.
Not far behind Fengh Qingyue, there were two halves of a Demon Beast’s body, and the blood was seeping out from there.
Meanwhile, four Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts were fervently attacking Fengh Qingyue, while thousands of ordinary water beasts of upper, middle, and lower Heavenly Levels were eyeing that spot from miles away!
At this moment, Fengh Qingyue’s eyes were already becoming scattered. During the more than an hour she had searched for Ye Zhen in Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, she had almost reached the end of her strength. She did not know how much longer she could hold on!
"Still haven’t found him... he might really be..."
Holding onto an eye ball of the Tiger Shark King of the Overturning Sea, which she had torn off from the Heavenly Spirit Ship, she was in such a dire situation in Ten Thousand Spirit Lake. And not to mention Ye Zhen, who had been swallowed whole by the One-tailed Crab King.
Even if one could escape from the mouth of the One-tailed Crab King, how long could they last in Ten Thousand Spirit Lake?
"Forget it, if I can’t sleep in the belly of the fish, then let it be the lake. Perhaps one day, his and my Remnant Souls could meet in the lake..."
With that thought, Fengh Qingyue’s movements suddenly slowed, and she gave up resisting, ready to perish there!
In the moment a three-headed water snake lunged for a bite, Fengh Qingyue slowly closed her eyes!
Just as Fengh Qingyue closed her eyes, a wave surged violently and swiftly toward her. As the three-headed water snake bit down, it whisked by, directly snatching Fengh Qingyue away at the waist.
The recently closed-eyed Fengh Qingyue was startled before she could figure out what was happening, and she found herself wrapped in a man’s embrace.
Fengh Qingyue was shocked!
She could accept death, but to be dishonored before dying was not something she could tolerate!
Her beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and she saw Ye Zhen’s all-too-familiar eyes gleaming as he looked at her!
"You..."
After merely one glance at Ye Zhen, Fengh Qingyue, as if struggling, fiercely began hammering Ye Zhen with her hands.
As she hammered, tears uncontrollably streamed down.
Ye Zhen remained silent, just continuously comforting her.
Gradually, the hands with which Fengh Qingyue beat Ye Zhen’s back were tightly embracing Ye Zhen, as if fearing she might lose him.
As for why Ye Zhen appeared here, and why he could swim so freely in the water, she dismissed all curiosity and thoughts. At this moment, having Ye Zhen was enough!
Even if death approached again, having Ye Zhen by her side was enough!
At this moment, Ye Zhen was also exceptionally moved!
Upon finding Fengh Qingyue and seeing her alone struggling against the Demon Beast while gripping the eye of the Tiger Shark King of the Overturning Sea, Ye Zhen understood what was happening.
Fengh Qingyue must have been searching for him alone!
In Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, that was no different from delivering oneself to death. How courageous must that be?
And, for a martial artist at the Peak of the Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm to fight until thoroughly exhausted, how fierce must have been the battle?
Fengh Qingyue probably fought her way through all the way here!
Fortunately, Fengh Qingyue had an eye of the Tiger Shark King of the Overturning Sea, whose released pressure could intimidate more than 90% of the water beasts in the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, allowing Fengh Qingyue to avoid the danger of being attacked by hordes of Demon Beasts.
Only some Demon Beasts, already at the Peak of Heavenly Level High Grade and vaguely breaking through to King Level, dared to ignore the intimidation of the Tiger Shark King of the Overturning Sea and attack Fengh Qingyue tentatively.
If not for this, Fengh Qingyue would have been torn to shreds long ago.
Ye Zhen was also feeling fortunate that he had discovered her in time. Had he been even slightly later, he would have regretted it for life!
Having survived a disaster, Fengh Qingyue was exceptionally passionate and utterly frenzied!
But truly, this wasn’t the place.
In the waters, with thousands of Demon Beasts’ bell-like giant eyes staring at them, Ye Zhen really didn’t feel very brave, and moreover, it was still quite dangerous here!
Who knows if there were no Spirit Tier Demon Beasts here; if another appeared, Ye Zhen really wouldn’t be able to cope.
With a movement, Ye Zhen, carrying Fengh Qingyue, swiftly swam toward the lake shore, not even showing how he moved, his entire being shot through the water like an arrowfish, surpassing countless water beasts.
In the water, his moving speed was even faster than many water-residing Demon Beasts. This scene directly astounded Fengh Qingyue, utterly shocking her!
However, in Fengh Qingyue’s eyes, there was even more admiration and pride.
This was the man she admired! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
