Chapter 45 Sea Monsters
At this moment, countless dark shadows appeared on the sea surface surrounding the fleet.
These shadowy figures were countless low-level demonic beasts, most of which were around the upper level of level one.
A single one is equivalent to a Qi Refining stage cultivator, but when they come in groups, their threat level increases significantly.
Once they surfaced, they surrounded the entire fleet and used their bodies and pincers to hold the ships in place, preventing them from escaping.
"They are sea monsters, including Crimson Fire Crabs and a swarm of Blazing Sun Shrimp!"
"Quickly! Activate the ship's protective array!"
Manager Fang of the Qingyang Sect fleet remained calm and instructed his subordinate cultivators to channel spiritual energy into the flying boat's array.
As the old manager of Qingyang Gate, he had been traveling the freight route for many years and had seen all kinds of storms.
"Don't panic, these sea monsters can't break through our magic array."
The manager breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the demonic beasts swinging their pincers but failing to break through the magic array barrier.
Most of the outer disciples of Qingyang Sect on the cargo ship were at the Qi Refining stage, with a few at the early Foundation Establishment stage.
The only people on the ship with cultivation levels at the late Foundation Establishment stage were him, the manager, and two inner disciples responsible for stabilizing the ship.
"Phew, thank goodness, this little thing shouldn't have alarmed the young master, right?"
The steward glanced back at the cabin where Qingfeng was.
Elder Liu repeatedly instructed him to serve the young master well, otherwise his job as the fleet manager would be over.
"Manager Fang, how is it? Is the ship damaged?"
At this moment, the two late-stage Foundation Establishment inner disciples responsible for stabilizing the ship rushed to the deck and inquired.
"without……"
Before Manager Fang could finish speaking, the Crimson Fire Crabs and Blazing Sun Shrimp suddenly began to attack the fleet like madmen.
"What's going on?! Why have these monsters gone mad?"
Feeling the vibrations of the ship, Manager Fang's left eyelid began to twitch violently.
"roar--!"
A terrifying scream came from beneath the sea.
Directly in front of the fleet, the sea swelled up as if boiling, and then a colossal object slowly rose up.
That was a giant monster that was over thirty feet long!
It has a tail, thick and long.
It has an upper body, two strong arms, and a head with a gaping mouth and a ferocious expression.
"A level seven monster!"
Sensing its terrifying aura, Manager Fang's eyes widened.
This is a colossal sea monster equivalent to the late-stage Core Formation realm!
But that wasn't the end of it; from both sides of the giant beast, the howls of infants could be heard.
"Two adult infant carp beasts!"
The color drained from the faces of the inner disciples in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"One level-seven demonic beast and two level-six demonic beasts!"
Manager Fang's expression changed drastically.
This is equivalent to a lineup consisting of one late-stage Core Formation cultivator and two peak early-stage Core Formation cultivators.
"boom--!"
The giant sea monster suddenly raised its tail and slammed it onto the cargo ship at the front of the fleet.
The protective shield on the cargo ship shook violently, developing numerous cracks, clearly indicating it was about to shatter.
The Qingyang Sect disciples who were controlling the flying boat turned pale and desperately poured their magic power into the array's central core.
But faced with the encirclement of one level seven and two level six demonic beasts, they could do nothing.
The giant demon beast looked at the cultivators on the fleet with a very contemptuous gaze.
In its eyes, these human cultivators were simply food that it could seize and devour at any time.
Just as he was about to use his tail to shatter the protective shields of these flying boats, three streaks of light flew over the fleet.
It was none other than Qingfeng, who was in the Core Formation stage, and Wang Heng and his wife.
"Young Master, let's join forces and drive them away!"
Wang Heng took out his flute, and Zhou Yuan took out her pipa.
The couple looked grave; the two adult infant carp beasts were already extremely difficult to deal with.
This giant monster in the outer sea is a cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, and dealing with it would be extremely difficult.
In the eyes of Wang Heng and his wife, being able to preserve the fleet and drive away the monsters would be a great success.
"Sect Leader Wang, you two only need to distract those two infant carp beasts for now."
"I'll handle this big guy myself."
Qingfeng looked at the huge creature on the sea ahead and locked onto its head with his divine sense.
In his memory, this big guy was lured into the Heavenly Star Formation and trapped and killed a few years later.
Without the intervention of the Star Palace's Nascent Soul elders, the few insignificant Core Formation cultivators under their command really couldn't do anything about this guy.
Upon hearing that Qingfeng was going to challenge the level seven behemoth in the outer sea, Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan exchanged a glance.
"Young Master Qing, do not be arrogant! This beast's aura is powerful, far surpassing that of ordinary level seven demonic beasts. It is definitely not something a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator can defeat."
Wang Heng hurriedly sent a telepathic message to dissuade him.
"Although my wife and I are not skilled in combat, it is the safest course of action to join forces and use sonic techniques, along with Young Master Qing's spells, to force these demonic beasts back."
Zhou Yuan also said anxiously.
The couple genuinely cared about Qingfeng's well-being.
In their view, although Qingfeng was very strong in combat, how could he, in the early stage of Core Formation, fight a level 7 giant monster in the outer sea?
This is absolutely insane!
If this promising young master were to perish here, not only would their previous investments be lost, but they would also have to bear the wrath of the Three Yang Master.
The disciples of Qingyang Sect below breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing three Core Formation cultivators appear, thinking their lives were finally safe.
Upon closer inspection, one of them turned out to be the young master!
"Was I just imagining things? It seemed like the young master was going to deal with that giant monster alone?"
"Young Master... has the Young Master been possessed?"
"That's a level seven demonic beast! That's equivalent to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Young Master, aren't you just going up there to get yourself killed?"
"It's all over, it's all over. With the young master dead, we'll all be buried with him..."
"Quickly, prepare your escape talismans! Once the protective array breaks, everyone run for their lives!"
The Qingyang Sect disciples on the cargo ship originally thought that the crisis would be resolved once they had driven back the demonic beast.
Upon hearing that the young master was going to fight the giant beast alone, they all turned pale and prepared to run away.
"Manager Fang, what's wrong?"
Han Li led Qu Hun out of the cabin.
"Young Master... Young Master is going to fight that giant sea monster alone. Fellow Daoist Han, you are Young Master's friend, why don't you go and try to persuade him?"
Manager Fang said with a bitter face.
Han Li didn't speak upon hearing this, but he quietly placed one hand on the storage pouch at his waist. Then, he glanced around at the sea and took a step back towards the stern of the ship.
That was the best escape route, and obviously he would flee immediately if things turned sour.
As for Brother Qing... Han Li believed that with Qing Feng's abilities, he should have no problem surviving.
On the other side, Yuan Yao and Yan Li, who had come out of the cabin, had already flown to Qing Feng's side on their swords.
"Young master, shall we use the combined attack technique, Dragon-Flood Dragon Sword Shadow Splitting Light Sword Formation?"
Yuan Yao asked.
From the perspective of the two women, the three of them used a combined attack technique to pour their combined magical power into Qingfeng for a short period of time, unleashing the most powerful [Dragon Flood Dragon Sword Shadow Splitting Light Sword Array].
Once this sword formation is unleashed, even if it cannot kill the giant beast, it can severely injure it.
"No need, you can go down and protect the fleet."
Qingfeng waved his hand, indicating that the two of them didn't need to interfere.
In his view, while the three-person combined attack was powerful, without the support of flying swords and magical treasures, the combined sword formation might not be as effective as the "Heavenly Demon Art" in dealing with this giant sea beast.
