Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 849 Attack Against Attack
The stars are like the sea, the waves are like a song, and the ocean is not peaceful even at night.

After being exposed to the smell of the sea for two days, Ji An sighed. Logically speaking, this amount of time should have been enough for the Kui Niu's blood relatives to arrive here.

'Could something have happened to the old cows?'

He was not familiar with the habits of sea creatures, so he couldn't think of any reason why the old Kui ox hadn't appeared.

Two days is enough time to travel tens of thousands of miles. If he travels day and night, he can travel about 300,000 miles in two days.

'If no Kui ox appears by noon tomorrow, leave.'

Ji An made a decision in his heart: staying here, unable to cultivate or make any large movements, was very stifling.

He prefers a fair and square attack to a sneak attack from a distance.

His disguise seemed decent, but there was still a good chance that he would be exposed by an enemy of the same level using their divine sense. The reason he chose to wait for the enemy to come to him was because he was betting that the enemy would not expect him to dare to lie in ambush.

Ji An closed his nostrils and eyes, his body as still as a withered tree, beginning a new round of waiting.

In a half-dream, half-awake state, he sensed two fierce auras rapidly approaching. At that moment, the sky began to lighten, and two giant demons broke through the waves, followed by wind and rain.

Sea creatures possess the ability to manipulate water currents; water offers them no resistance, allowing them to travel faster in water than they can fly through the air.

As the giant demon approached, Ji An realized that the newcomers were two Kui Niu. Judging from the emanating pressure, one was at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and the other was at the sixth level.

The fact that the transformed demon revealed its true form indicates that the situation is extremely critical.

"Moo!"

The mournful roar was like a summer thunderclap, shaking the surrounding area and bringing tears to the eyes of all who heard it.

While overjoyed, Ji An quickly calculated in his mind that the two Kui oxen that appeared were much larger than the one he had killed.

Even the smaller Kui bull was nearly twice the size of the one that was killed.

Ji An was confident in his abilities, but he didn't believe he could kill the Kui Niu, who was at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, instantly. If the enemy escaped, he would lose everything.

The sea beasts are huge and have thick hides, which is good because they can withstand a lot of damage. However, the defense of these two is not comparable to that of the Kui Niu that has just broken through to the Nascent Soul level. Their huge size can offset a lot of damage.

Ji An quickly made a decision: to tackle the easier problems first, kill the Kui Niu with the lower cultivation level to secure the kill, and then slowly work on the Nascent Soul level eight beast.

As luck would have it, the two Kui oxen flew right over Ji An's head. They must have had some special ability to sense that this was the place where the little Kui ox would perish, so they began to swoop down, thus getting closer to Ji An.

The two-zhang-long silver flying sword shone brightly, shooting upwards like a thunderbolt, striking the smaller Kui Niu with lightning speed.

The ambush went so smoothly that Ji An was speechless with surprise. Perhaps the two Kui oxen simply did not believe that there were still enemies lurking here.

Then, something even more surprising happened: the Kui Niu's mournful cries abruptly stopped, and after spitting out blood, its body fell downwards involuntarily.

Rewind to the moment when the two sea beasts flew over Ji'an. The male Kui Niu sensed the killing intent the instant the Taibai Extinction Sword was launched, but the distance was too close and the speed of the flying sword was too fast. He had just opened his mouth to warn his partner when the flying sword struck him.

Then it felt its partner's life force rapidly slipping away, faster than the receding tide.

Ji An immediately launched a second attack after his initial attack. His original plan was to finish off the enemy, but it seemed unnecessary at the moment, so he unhesitatingly used his second attack on the surviving Kui Niu.

A flash of silver light, and the Taibai Extinction Sword flew into the belly of the Kui Niu.

This attack was much less effective. The Kui Niu was on guard, its body covered with a layer of blue blood energy, like solidified ice crystals.

The Taibai Extinction Sword pierced through the Qi and Blood Armor, and after penetrating the tough outer skin, it was already at its last gash. It then plunged into the thick layer of fat, causing an explosion and tearing open a millstone-sized scar, from which only a small amount of blood flowed.

Such injuries may seem frightening, but they are insignificant compared to the massive body of the Kui Niu.

"Oh!"

The slain Kui Niu fell into the sea, splashing up huge waves, and its blue blood quickly stained the surface of the sea.

After unleashing his second spell, Ji An did not continue the attack. Firstly, he wanted to see the specific results of the battle, and secondly, he needed to prepare for the final assault.

What does it mean to launch an attack? For him, it means protecting himself before charging in. This is the most suitable attack method for him, allowing him to bring out all his advantages.

He made a hand seal to release the strength of metal and stone, and the five spiritual treasures of the Five Directions Flags interlocked to form a defensive domain, while the Five Elements Divine Mountain rapidly expanded and released five-colored spiritual light.

The Kui Niu reacted just as quickly, shaking its head and letting out a thunderous roar, which instantly brought wind, rain, lightning, and thunder.

There was no boundary between the sea and the sky; a white curtain of rain covered everything, and the body of the Kui Niu quickly became ethereal and disappeared.

Wind and rain are his banner; the Kui Niu clan is extremely skilled at controlling thunder and water.

Ji An's divine sense spread out like a spider web, but he still couldn't sense any trace of the Kui Niu.

After a brief moment of shock, he quickly recovered and activated his Nascent Soul Dharma Form.

The sound of the tide and the ocean blended together in the image, and under the silver moonlight, the wind and rain stopped in the area covered by the image.

He slowly descended, using the power of his magic to push aside the seawater and reveal the body of the Kui Niu on the seabed. Ji An was in a dilemma; outside the area covered by his magic form, there was still wind, rain, lightning, and thunder, indicating that the enemy was lurking in the shadows, and he couldn't take the corpse with him.

However, dragging it out like this was not a good idea. He made up his mind and arranged the array plate of the Xuanwu Armor Formation around the Kui Niu corpse, and then arranged the True Array Flags at each node.

He glanced around and suddenly activated his Nascent Soul Dharma Form.

The scene of the bright moon rising over the sea instantly transformed into the vicissitudes of life under a bright sun. The moment the greenery covered the corpse of the Kui Niu, Ji An activated the Xuanwu Mingjia Formation by making a hand seal.

He placed his palm on the Kui Niu corpse, and probed his divine sense into the gourd stone to enter the small world. The Kui Niu corpse also entered.

When Ayun saw another enormous creature appear, she was startled.

Ji An didn't have time to say anything. He immediately released a golden light that seemed to leap across the ground and flew to the edge of the small world.

The moment he left the small world and came to the outside world, he once again activated his Nascent Soul Dharma Form.

He had just entered the small world, and his Dharma form naturally disappeared, causing the displaced seawater to flow back in.

He was ready for battle, but nothing happened; the seawater was once again pushed open by the Dharma Image.

The wind and rain continued in this area, indicating that the Kui Niu had not left and was probably hiding in some dark corner, preparing to launch a fatal attack.

However, Ji An has now secured the spoils of war, and the initiative in the battle is completely in his hands. Whether to stay or leave is up to him.

While remaining on guard, he leisurely put away the array plates and flags. Seeing that no enemy appeared, he flew thirty feet above the sea and rode the clouds towards the coastline.

The ocean is the territory of sea beasts. The enemy's cultivation level is higher than his, and he can't possibly outlast him in terms of attrition. It's better to retreat in order to advance.

The enemy is very likely to prevent him from leaving, and if they don't, he won't linger in the fight; knowing when to quit while he's ahead is his fine virtue.

During his flight, he kept activating his Nascent Soul Dharma Form, something he would do until he was out of the area shrouded in heavy rain.

The Dharma Image area is only a hundred feet in radius. If the area it covers is too large, the power will not be concentrated.

The Taibai Extinction Sword struck the enemy head-on, but did not cause any real damage. It merely tore open the flesh and failed to penetrate the Kui Niu's internal organs.

This gave him a clear understanding of the power of sea monsters. If the enemy were a human cultivator and he were hit head-on, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

Suddenly, the raindrops outside the Dharma Image area exploded with a roar, as if countless bombs were detonating at him.

A black light flashed, and then all light vanished, as if it were the end of the world.

Ji An sensed the aura of the Gui Water Divine Thunder; its divine intent was no weaker than the spell he had released.

He was greatly shocked. He had always been quite proud of his magical abilities, but he never expected that a sea beast could reach the same level as him.

He deliberately reduced the area covered by the Dharma image, but even so the Dharma image was shaking violently, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The rain intensified, and the aura of the Gui Water Divine Thunder became even stronger.

Ji An dared not stay here any longer. He released a golden light that seemed to leap across the ground, and his body transformed into a rainbow of five colors, flying away as fast as a shooting star.

This environment caused him significant disruption, but it could not completely eliminate his magic.

The golden light contained the transformations of the five elements and yin and yang. His cultivation level was not high enough at the moment, otherwise he could have passed through such a thunderstorm without hindrance.

Kui Niu would certainly not let his enemy leave. His mate had died at the hands of his enemy, and there was a high probability that his offspring would also be killed by his enemy. He was already furious.

Just now, Kui Niu was observing the enemy from a distance, while also trying to deplete the enemy's power. He never expected that his partner's body would disappear in a very short time.

Now it is filled with rage and only wants to destroy the enemy with all its might, so it activates the One Element Heavy Water and releases a burst of lightning based on it.

As he cast the spell, his body was also exposed. Ji An's method was simple and brutal: attack against attack, without dodging or avoiding!

Whoever is bad will die, whoever is cowardly will lose.

If he fails to seize the opportunity now, he will fall into the enemy's rhythm of battle.

He had no desire to try anything while caught up in the battle rhythm of a Nascent Soul level eight Kui Niu in the ocean.

Ji An activated his magic power and released the Chaos Five Elements Thunder.

The five elements within his body pulsated, the five Dao seeds shone brightly, and the five replica spiritual treasures of the Five Innate Banners resonated together.

He believed in the strength of the defensive domain composed of five mid-grade fourth-tier spiritual treasures, in addition to his own unbreakable metal and stone, and the powerful physique of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Having so many defensive measures is the source of his confidence to fight back with offense.

The attacks from both sides arrived simultaneously. Ji An was hit by a ball of black lightning, and his nascent soul shattered. However, the defensive field formed by the five spiritual treasures withstood it all. On the other hand, Kui Niu's situation was not so good.
