Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 189 Why did you provoke her!
My heart, which had just been opened up by the beauty and grandeur of the sea.

It seems like it's blocked again.

He Yong turned around and went to help the crew, leaving Han Youzhi standing on the ship's side like a statue.

She tugged at Pei Xia's clothes, her phoenix eyes widening as if she'd seen a ghost: "Did you hear what he just said?"

Pei Xia took a sip of her drink and nodded silently, "Mm."

Three hundred li long and one hundred and forty li wide, what does that mean?
It can accommodate more than a hundred Beijing Normal University campuses!

This is only what you can see on the surface of the water!
Han Youzhi looked at the Cao family's large ship on the other side of the sea, further away from the Deng family's ship.

She suddenly felt a strange sense of amusement.

Although the saying that big is good, big is beautiful, and big is strong is not entirely correct, the thought of the Cao family on such a ship, with such a person, carrying such a small magic weapon, going to deal with a monster that is 300 miles long and 140 miles wide is still very interesting.

Han Youzhi looked at Pei Xia again: "What if something happens?"

Pei Xia came for this reason: "Bring He Yong along and run away."

Even if someone at the Transformation Realm cannot cross the sea with their physical body, as long as there is still a plank to step on, returning to Aocheng Port, which is not far from here, should not be a problem.

With this uneasy tension, the ships of the three major clans slowly sailed towards the center of the East Sea.

The waves beneath the boat began to rise.

He Yong was a seasoned captain. He skillfully assigned tasks to his subordinates and prepared contingency plans for various situations. The crew members who went to sea with him this time were all the maritime elites of the He family. Although the large ship was a bit bumpy at the beginning, it was still moving forward steadily overall.

As the sea breeze grew stronger, the waves began to violently pound the hull, splashing water onto the deck like a bucket of water.

Even He Yong had to rely on his spiritual power to roar and shout out commands.

The ship has entered the storm's range.

Pear, having already assessed the situation, climbed off Pei Xia's head, burrowed down his waist and into the front of his shirt, peeking out from under Pei Xia's neck: "I think I saw that sea patrol god!"

Everyone saw it.

It was a black mountain ridge that was vaguely visible amidst the undulating waves. The ridge emerged from the other side of the sea, seemingly without end, occupying everyone's field of vision.

Because the sun was still shining brightly, visibility was not greatly obstructed; only the howling wind and waves constantly reminded the outsiders that they were intruding into a dangerous territory.

"Flatten the sails! Drop anchor—"

He Yong's voice came from afar.

Just as He Chongguang had instructed, the He family had no intention of actually competing with the Cao family in this contest.

The ship stopped when it could see the sea god in the distance.

A little further away, the Deng family's ships were in the same situation; they had no way to deal with the sea patrol god.

Only the Cao family's large ship continued to toss and turn in the wind and waves.

Now everyone's attention is focused on the Cao family's ship.

Cultivators like Han Youzhi could even see Cao Heng's ferocious and smug face on the deck of the Cao family's large ship, across the waves.

He really enjoys this situation.

Under the spotlight, do the most important thing, something only you can do.

This would allow him to rediscover the nobility and pride of being the heir of the Cao family from that crushing defeat against He Chen.

Han Youzhi watched the black dot rush towards the distant mountain ridge and couldn't help but ask Pei Xia, "If that really is a living thing, wouldn't the waves swallow their ship with just one movement?"

Pei Xia countered with a question: "Is it something bad?" "Uh..."

The sea god did not move.

Despite the relentless storm swirling around her, she clearly paid no attention to the Cao family's ships approaching her.

Cao Heng stood at the bow of the boat and carefully took out the Cao family's clan-protecting artifact from his bosom.

It was a golden needle.

The Cao family called it the "Sea-Opening Golden Needle," a rare and precious magical artifact.

To be honest, the Cao family, as a family of cultivators in Aocheng, is not particularly powerful in the entire martial arts world, yet they have managed to possess such a treasure without suffering any misfortune.

The key issue is that the effects of this "Sea-Opening Golden Needle" are too biased.

It can only be used to drive away sea monsters.

But perhaps it is precisely because the effects of magical artifacts are relatively narrow that their power is exceptionally strong.

Fifty years ago, a sea monster at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm ravaged the eastern coast of Youzhou and attacked Ao City. It was this magic weapon that repelled it.

The Heavenly Consciousness Realm is a legendary realm that most cultivators will never encounter in their lifetime.

The realms beyond that are concepts they cannot comprehend.

In other words, if the Cao family's magical artifacts can repel sea beasts at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm, then they can repel all sea beasts.

With this unwavering conviction, Cao Heng activated the magical artifact in his hand, sending it plunging into the sea beneath the ship.

As the golden needle entered the sea, it seemed to absorb some kind of nourishment and began to expand rapidly!

In just a few breaths, it transformed into a golden pillar twelve feet long, and began to spin wildly as Cao Heng on the deck held his breath and urged it on.

The golden needle was not perfectly round; only after it expanded could one see that its golden surface was full of tiny holes. As it rotated and seawater poured in, those holes began to emit a low, strange sound.

This strange noise travels very fast in water, and it can penetrate even in stormy and turbulent waters!

As time passed, just as everyone was gazing intently into the distance, the endless black mountain ridge actually began to move.

Although it was very subtle, the Sea Patrol God did indeed react to the Cao family's magical artifact!
"Could it be..." Pei Xia raised an eyebrow slightly.

But before everyone could feel any excitement, the black ridge that had just started to rise stopped again.

Cao Heng, standing on the deck, paused for a moment, then urged his golden needle magic weapon even harder.

Suddenly, the connection of spiritual energy was delayed.

Then, a sound like something breaking came from underwater.

Cao Heng was not slow to react; he vaguely realized something at that moment, but his long-held, deeply ingrained ideas prevented him from making the fastest reaction—a huge wave, tens of feet high, rose from the sea like a tentacle and then swept down, like a giant mouth, swallowing the Cao family's ship whole into the water!

In an instant, the magical artifacts meticulously prepared by the Cao family, the leading figures of the second generation, and the experts accompanying the ship were all wiped away like a speck of dust.

The storm raged on, the waves surged on, but a deathly silence settled in the hearts of all who watched from afar.

After a brief moment of shock, He Yong's roar suddenly rang out on the deck: "Return to port!"

Almost simultaneously, the endless black line in the distance seemed to notice these tiny uninvited guests, and the once-stagnant mountain ridge began to rise again.

Until the head of the sea god fully emerged from the water—a hideous maw hidden beneath its flat body.

The Sea Patrol God is an enormous manta ray!

And when she opened her mouth, what was stirred up in this storm was a terrifying ocean current comparable to a natural disaster, which was irresistible!
