680: Chapter 680 Mysterious Woman

Although the spikes were clearly condensed from seawater, they were black in color and possessed a metallic sharpness.

Just as the spikes were about to touch the Formation of the Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat, a point of golden light ignited, transforming into a streak of sword light that collided with them.

"Hum~"

The spikes instantly collapsed into a sky full of water mist, and the golden sword light, its momentum undiminished, transformed into a massive Sword Qi that cleaved the thousand-foot-high waves down the middle.

Daocheng did not linger to fight; he controlled the Flying Boat to break through the water mist and flew rapidly toward the coast.

A moment later, the waves slowly calmed down. The Early Golden Core Stage Jiao-ren emerged from the seawater. He looked at the wound on his shoulder that was deep enough to reveal bone; there was no fear on his face, but rather a sense of intense excitement.

He let out a long howl toward the sky, then vanished into the azure seawater as if melting away, leaving only a faint black line visible as it pursued the direction of the Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat.

...

Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat.

Lei Wantai only just came to his senses. He looked at Daocheng and stammered, "You... you are... a Golden Core True Person Senior!"

"This Junior was offensive earlier; I ask that you, Senior, please forgive me."

The Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat that Daocheng was riding was only a Tier 2 craft, and the fluctuations of his aura were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet he was so young and his eyes were so clear that Lei Wantai judged at a glance that he was a disciple of a major sect with a significant background.

The only thing he misjudged was Daocheng's cultivation level. It was highly unlikely for such a young Prodigy who had already reached Core Formation to come to the front lines.

Daocheng, however, had no heart for pleasantries at this moment, because he sensed that the Yao Race Golden Core had actually caught up!

"Did you take something? Something that could make a Golden Core Great Demon pursue you so relentlessly?"

Daocheng already had the thought of abandoning these few people in his heart. Although he could easily defeat the Golden Core Jiao-ren behind him, this place was not very suitable for a battle, as he did not know if it would have reinforcements.

Although these few Haiya Sect Cultivators were from the Joyous Union Sect, they were not worth him risking his life for nothing.

He stared at them with a calm gaze; if their answer did not satisfy him, he would immediately flee alone.

Lei Wantai was dumbfounded, and it took him a moment of thought to understand what Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng meant.

"All of my belongings are inside; please take a look, Senior!"

He took the Storage Pouch directly from his waist and handed it to Daocheng without any extra explanation.

Just as Daocheng was about to reach out to take it, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he directly controlled the Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat to stop.

"Hum~"

Lei Wantai and the others discovered with horror that the surroundings had long been surrounded by thick water vapor. It was a vast expanse of white where nothing could be seen, and even their Divine Sense was restricted and could not extend very far.

Daocheng's pupils glowed with gold, and his Sword Intent soared into the sky as he coldly looked at the gigantic Jiao-ren above the water mist.

Nascent Soul Demon Lord!

'Am I really this unlucky? To be targeted by a Nascent Soul Demon Lord the moment I arrive!'

The great war on the front lines had been going on for so long, and the number of Nascent Soul Demon Lords who had taken action could be counted on one's fingers.

He had only just arrived at the front lines and hadn't even taken the initiative to join the war, so why did he encounter a Nascent Soul Demon Lord the moment he arrived?

Was it because of Lei Wantai and the others?

Or was it that he had actually been targeted a long time ago?

He would think about these things slowly later; the top priority now was to escape the danger first.

"Brother, I'm counting on you!"

Daocheng reached out and pulled out the sleeping Three-Headed Demon Python that was wrapped inside the robe on his right arm.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

The Three-Headed Demon Python's body instantly expanded, transforming into a terrifying three-headed giant python hundreds of feet long.

Its cold snake pupils pierced through the water vapor to meet the gaze of the equally gigantic Jiao-ren. The red head of the Three-Headed Demon Python opened its mouth and exhaled, sending a wave of heat sweeping across, instantly dispersing all the water vapor.

Utilizing a fire-type Divine Ability, the violent aura on the Three-Headed Demon Python climbed, and a thick killing intent spread out.

"Old brother, this place is not suitable for staying long; let's leave first," Daocheng hurriedly transmitted his voice to soothe it.

Upon hearing this, the spiritual light in the red head's eyes of the Three-Headed Demon Python dimmed slightly, while the spiritual light in the black head brightened a little.

Flicking its snake tail, it carried Daocheng and intended to leave, not even planning to keep the Yuan Magnetic Flying Boat.

It was just a Tier 2 Flying Boat; it was no loss to Daocheng.

As for whether Lei Wantai and the others had any treasures on them, Daocheng didn't care anymore.

Since he was small, his father's teaching to him had always been not to covet Opportunity, because they, as disciples of the Liu Family, did not need Opportunity; being able to survive was the greatest Opportunity.

The Three-Headed Demon Python and Daocheng wanted to leave, but the Nascent Soul Demon Lord Jiao-ren above them did not intend to let them go.

"Splash~"

With a shake of its massive fish tail, layers of tides suddenly rose around this sea area, completely sealing the Three-Headed Demon Python inside.

"Since you've come, why the rush to leave?"

The Jiao-ren Demon Lord descended from mid-air. His lower body was a fish tail covered in scales, and his upper body was bare but covered with a thick layer of black fur, as if he were wearing a black tight-fitting suit.

His tone of speaking was similar to that of the Golden Core Jiao-ren from just before; although the meaning could barely be understood, the accent was especially strange, and every word was heavily accented.

"Don't mind him, charge out!"

Seeing that the Nascent Soul Demon Lord Jiao-ren ignored Lei Wantai and the others and instead took the initiative to communicate with him to stall for time, Daocheng's heart sank, and he immediately ordered the Three-Headed Demon Python.

The Three-Headed Demon Python also sensed that something was wrong. Its white head tilted slightly upward, and its entire body was covered in a layer of frost, changing from three-colored to a pale color, and then it transformed into a sharp arrow, charging headlong all the way.

The layers of water waves could not stop the Three-Headed Demon Python at all and could only follow as the battlefield constantly shifted. The black water waves rotated and condensed into 'ropes', trying their best to drag it and prevent it from leaving.

Looking down from high above the sea, it looked like a massive black train bulging in the ocean, with a pale arrow streaking through it.

"It's not working!"

"We must kill him, or severely injure him, otherwise we cannot escape!"

The Jiao-ren Demon Lord was weaker than the Three-Headed Demon Python, but his ability to pester was very strong; if he wasn't dealt with, they would never be able to pick up speed.

Upon hearing this, the Three-Headed Demon Python stopped, its snake tail coiled and shook off the surrounding 'water ropes', and it turned back to confront the Nascent Soul Jiao-ren.

It reverted from its pale color back to three colors, and its three heads simultaneously lit up with crimson, ink-black, and pale colors, as an incomparably terrifying aura rose.

The Three-Headed Demon Python paused for a moment, and seeing that the Nascent Soul Jiao-ren had no intention of retreating, it immediately ceased hesitating.

Three Origins into One!

The aura of three conflicting yet mutually generating Laws fused together, and a terrifying three-colored light enveloped the Nascent Soul Jiao-ren.

Fear finally appeared on the Nascent Soul Jiao-ren's face; he felt a threat of death. He could not block this attack, and if he took it head-on, he would at least be severely injured.

Strangely, he did not flee, nor did he activate any defensive techniques, but instead looked up toward the horizon, as if asking for help.

Daocheng's heart jolted, and he followed the Jiao-ren's gaze to look at the sky, only to see a woman's figure appearing in the clouds, not knowing when she had arrived.

She wore a water-blue dress, her hair was light gold, her fair skin shimmered with a watery luster, the corners of her eyes were long and slender, her brows were cold and clear, and she wore a coral crown on her head, possessing an indescribable noble temperament.

"Interesting, very interesting!"

A smile appeared on the woman's lips, and as her voice rang out, all the fluctuations in the surroundings subsided, including the three-colored light that had locked onto the Nascent Soul Jiao-ren.
