347: Chapter 347 Observe the situation calmly

He ran.

Sha Zhuo ran away directly.

He leaped into the sea, transforming back into his true form—a pitch-black shark—and dove toward the seabed.

He knew full well of Lan Feiye's strength.

The Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Bitter Sea Realm.

It was on the same level as his own strength.

Yet, in front of this human, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist and was killed in a single move.

That meant he himself was likely no match for this person either.

Making a prompt decision, Sha Zhuo fled immediately.

Whatever Princess Lan Longyu, whatever mission—nothing was as important as his own life.

"Quite decisive," Lin Ming said.

Decisive or not, Lin Ming would not let him go.

Another wooden sword appeared in his hand, which Lin Ming tossed into the sea.

This wooden sword dove into the sea, locking onto Sha Zhuo's figure.

"Damn it," Sha Zhuo cursed angrily.

He didn't know where this human had popped out from.

If it weren't for this human, that guy Lan Feiye wouldn't have died, and he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

What was the origin of this human?

At this moment, Sha Zhuo also sensed the wooden sword behind him.

He merely flicked his tail, and a vortex formed instantly.

The powerful vortex he created blocked the space behind him.

But it was all in vain. This so-called underwater vortex was pierced through by the wooden sword.

The distance between the two was closing rapidly. The wooden sword was faster than Sha Zhuo.

"Do you really think you've got me?" Sha Zhuo stopped moving at this moment.

He knew he couldn't escape. Instead of running like this and wasting his Yuan Power, he might as well find a way to deal with this wooden sword directly. Perhaps there was still a sliver of hope.

"Wooo..." With a roar, Sha Zhuo took the initiative to charge toward the wooden sword, his sharp teeth flashing with a cold glint.

In the blink of an eye, Sha Zhuo collided with the wooden sword. Pierced through by the sword, just like Lan Feiye, this wooden sword ended Sha Zhuo's life instantly.

On the sea surface, Lin Ming saw it; he saw Sha Zhuo being executed by his sword. There was nothing to be surprised about.

This sword strike carried his Peak Bitter Sea Realm strength; slaying a mid-stage Bitter Sea Realm shark was the simplest of tasks.

"Princess Lan Longyu, right? Now it's your turn to compensate me for my losses," Lin Ming looked at Princess Lan Longyu.

From what he learned from Lan Feiye, this Princess Lan Longyu was likely a princess of the Merfolk Clan.

However, princess or not, it had nothing to do with him.

She was one of the culprits who disturbed his fishing, but considering she held no malice toward him, he would spare her life.

After all, Lin Ming was not a bloodthirsty person; he wouldn't kill just for the sake of it.

"Compensation, I am willing to pay compensation. As long as you send me back to the Merfolk Clan, any compensation is not a problem," Princess Lan Longyu said hurriedly.

From the strength Lin Ming had just displayed, Princess Lan Longyu realized this person was extraordinary. Perhaps with his help, she could safely return to the Merfolk Clan.

"The Merfolk Clan, I could go take a look," Lin Ming said.

The Merfolk Clan—Lin Ming only just remembered. The Merfolk Clan did have things he could use, or to be precise, things that the people around him could use.

He already stood at the Peak of this world. But some of the people around him were far from it. Lin Ming felt it was necessary to help them a little.

"Then Senior can come to the Merfolk Clan as a guest," Princess Lan Longyu said.

"Your Highness." Suddenly, an old woman appeared behind Princess Lan Longyu, speaking to her with a gentle smile.

"Granny." Princess Lan Longyu was the first to react, turning around and throwing herself into the old woman's arms.

"Granny, you almost wouldn't have been able to see Yu'er again," Princess Lan Longyu said softly. Crystal-clear tears welled up in her eyes.

"It was Granny's fault; Granny fell for a trap," the old woman said in a deep voice. It was she who had carelessly fallen into their trap, which was why she had been entangled with them until now.

"Granny, it was he who saved me," Princess Lan Longyu immediately looked toward Lin Ming and the others, pointing at Lin Ming, and said.

"Human, thank you for saving the princess of our Merfolk Clan," the old woman also said to Lin Ming.

First stage of the Other Shore Realm. Lin Ming sensed the other party's cultivation at the first stage of the Other Shore Realm. It seemed this Princess Lan Longyu might really be a princess of the Merfolk Clan.

"Small matter, as long as you don't disturb my fishing, that's fine," Lin Ming said very straightforwardly.

He reiterated again: if the other party hadn't disturbed his fishing, Lin Ming would not have intervened in this matter.

"This object represents the friendship of our Merfolk Clan. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to our Merfolk Clan," the old woman said. As her voice fell, a scale appeared in her hand, which she tossed to Lin Ming.

Immediately after, the old woman took Princess Lan Longyu and sank into the seabed.

"Senior, what should we do next?" the Boatman said at this moment.

"Let's go back; I've lost interest," Lin Ming shook his head. A perfectly good fishing session had been ruined by these people, causing Lin Ming to lose all interest in fishing and he didn't want to continue.

"Yes."

...On the seabed, in the Merfolk Clan's luxurious palace. "Clan Chief, Your Highness has rested. There are no major injuries, just some minor flesh wounds," the old woman said to the man before her.

And... what a joke? He had no intention of helping. His life was more important. The Boatman signaled his crew to start the boat and sailed rapidly toward Dongchao City.

However, Lan Feiye would not let them escape just like that. He plunged one hand into the seawater. Hundreds of water arrows shot out of the sea surface, covering the boat where Lin Ming was.

Seeing this, the Boatman's expression changed drastically. The worst-case scenario had happened. He didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly activated the Formation on the boat. A white protective barrier appeared, and at the same time, the speed of the boat increased further.

But no matter how fast the boat was, it was hard to escape the attack range of those hundreds of water arrows. The sky-filling water arrows fell, slamming into the barrier. It shattered. This Formation simply could not withstand the attack of the water arrows; under continuous impact, the barrier broke.

"Bitter Sea Realm!" Despair appeared on the Boatman's face. He had spent a lot of money to hire a fifth-rank Formation master to set up his Formation, which was capable of withstanding the offensive of a Peak Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator. But now it had been broken, and broken so easily. This made the Boatman realize that the other party was likely a sea clan member of the Bitter Sea Realm. Today, he would likely perish here. Although the Boatman had thought that one day he would be buried in the sea, when this day arrived, he was still somewhat unwilling. In the blink of an eye, they were covered, submerged by those hundreds of water arrows. Lan Feiye watched this scene with a calm expression. He had also investigated the cultivation of the humans on this boat; the highest was only a Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator. With his Bitter Sea Realm cultivation, exterminating these Spirit Treasury Realm humans was the simplest of tasks. Moreover, this was the sea, the home turf of their Sea Clan.
