159: Chapter 159 The Tide Rolls On, the Finger Flicking Divine Skill

Chapter 159: Rolling Tides, Flicking Finger Skill

Fang Cheng opened his eyes and looked up at the top of the abyss over a hundred meters above.

A group of humans wearing diving suits and holding weapons were at the edge of the seabed crevice, also peeking down.

When their gazes met, both sides were hesitant and did not act rashly.

Feeling the seemingly gentle undercurrents and water pressure around him, Fang Cheng took a calm breath and clenched his fist.

He truly comprehended the various changes brought by this seabed Cultivate lasting more than a dozen hours.

He could now be said to have a crystal-clear understanding of his own body.

[Remember the site domain w k n . c o m and wait for you to read]

With just a slight movement of his mind, he could achieve the magical effect of internal vision and introspection.

He could see blood gurgling through capillaries and hear the whistling sound of wind passing through muscle and bone pores.

He could even feel the light of life continuously bursting forth from every cell in his whole body during division and reorganization.

The initial origin of all this should be that wisp of lamplight in his mind.

[Flame of Spirituality, internal introspection, Soul reflection, increases your conversion efficiency of absorbing external energy by 300%, function not yet fully unlocked...]

The panel's description of the Meditation skill effects was very simple, and even partially hidden.

Yet Fang Cheng could truly feel the extraordinary significance hidden within.

This wisp of lamplight was not simply a manifestation of spiritual intent.

Rather, it was a certain image formed by the convergence of bright light spots scattered all over the Physical Body, representing the high integration of essence, Qi, and spirit.

In other words, it was the Incarnation of his entire body and Soul.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's gaze flickered slightly as he looked at the updated attribute values on the panel.

[Strength: 34]

[Agility: 33]

[Physique: 41]

[Spirit: 43]

Through this extremely special seabed training, all basic attributes had achieved significant growth.

Strength and Agility increased by about 1 point, and Spirit also soared by 3 points.

The Physique attribute increased by 5 points at an unimaginable speed, crossing the 40-point mark in one breath and completing an extreme transcendence.

Although he had been in this extremely oppressive abyss for more than a dozen hours,

Fang Cheng did not feel tired or have difficulty breathing at all.

Every pore from head to toe exuded a sense of comfort, and every cell was brimming with the vitality of life.

His whole person was seemingly reborn, acquiring a new life.

It was as if after the Spirit attribute broke through 40 points, it brought an extreme surge in sensory perception and neural reaction speed.

The Physique as high as 41 points had an equally exaggerated effect, several times stronger than when crossing the 20-point critical value.

Furthermore, it did not stop there!

Perhaps because both attributes broke through the 40-point mark simultaneously, his consciousness and body instantly became more attuned.

The speed at which Qi circulated within his body noticeably accelerated, and the sluggish feeling that hindered progress mostly disappeared.

Fang Cheng felt that his body was constantly absorbing free life energy from the surrounding environment, as if becoming a nearly perfect container.

At the Dantian position of Qigong Cultivate, a cluster of azure True Qi resided there, almost filling this container.

Trickling streams continuously poured into it, appearing profound and calm, serene and silent.

Vaguely, it also concealed a certain violent aura, like the water of the ocean, which would stir up monstrous waves in a fit of anger and submerge everything.

Just as Fang Cheng was comprehending his Cultivate achievements and trying to master his newly acquired power,

the crowd standing at the upper end of the seabed crevice gradually settled their minds at this moment.

Despite being separated by layers of seawater, their vision was somewhat blurred.

But through careful observation, it could be found that the man in the abyss wore a diving mask on his face, covering his nose and eyes.

With such behavior and demeanor, the probability of him being a human was relatively high.

"At least he is neither a demon nor the legendary god..."

The same sentence couldn't help but flash through everyone's hearts.

At this time, A Jie had already made contact with the sea surface via the underwater intercom.

After receiving the report on the seabed situation, Li Chengjun was silent for a moment, and then issued an order:

"Kill him immediately and take back the treasure!"

The ruthless voice instantly transmitted into A Jie's ears through the headset, making him palpitate with fear.

"This person definitely has the same intentions as us. All enemies who dare to compete with us for the ancient remains must be silenced and executed on the spot!"

"Rest assured, if the situation goes wrong, I will personally step in to support you!"

Fortunately, the special envoy's last sentence gave a guarantee, allowing A Jie to instantly recover a lot of confidence.

The other pursuer team members also received the order and prepared for battle.

A Jie took a deep breath of oxygen and exhaled a string of bubbles.

Staring fixedly at the strange man in the abyss who seemed not to care about them, he then slowly raised his hand in the water and made a gesture for concentrated fire attack.

Click, click.

The safety catches were opened one after another, and the triggers were pulled swiftly.

The flame accumulated in the chambers suddenly detonated, producing a violent thrust that pushed the bullets out of the muzzles.

Ordinary firearm bullets fired a few meters in the water would quickly lose the power to kill targets.

The underwater assault rifles equipped by the pursuers used special long arrow-shaped warheads, and their underwater killing range was enough to reach a hundred meters away.

Bullets shot out from the muzzles one after another, pouring down like a metal rain.

The dull sound and firelight instantly broke the dark and silent atmosphere.

Then, bullet after bullet advanced side by side along the "tunnel of light," tracing trajectories wrapped in bubbles as they attacked the man in the abyss.

The speed was so fast and the firepower was so fierce that it was no less effective than shooting on land.

Just as everyone raised their guns and opened fire, Fang Cheng had long keenly noticed the movement.

He did not make a dodging movement, but his gaze narrowed slightly as he silently circulated his internal breath.

In an instant, it was as if a lightning bolt exploded in the darkness.

Rumble—

Thunder roared, and the remaining echoes rolled.

The winds and clouds billowed inside Fang Cheng's body, and the azure ocean in his Dantian stirred up monstrous waves.

Afterwards, an incomparably abundant surge of True Qi instantly gushed out from his abdomen.

Using it as the source, it produced a tidal-like resonance rhythm, rapidly spreading and wandering toward the internal organs and all limbs and bones.

At the same time, the muscles, bones, and sweat pores of his whole body vibrated in unison.

In a flash, his tightly closed pores abruptly opened, and his whole body made a long buzzing sound like a kettle boiling water.

This sound grew louder and louder, turning into sound waves that continuously shook the surrounding seawater.

Like thunder roaring and echoing, it stirred up wave after wave of surging ocean waves, churning, rolling, and diffusing all around.

When the bullets shot within a thirty-meter range of Fang Cheng's body, they instantly encountered layers upon layers of wave resistance.

During this process of violent vibration, their kinetic energy was continuously consumed, and their directions gradually deviated.

In the end, all the bullets completely lost their propulsion and silently fell into the dark abyss.

However, the vibrating waves lost none of their momentum, still surging and roaring as they swept toward the top of the seabed crevice.

Seeing this, the crowd hurriedly trod water and retreated toward the back of the crevice.

Fang Cheng in the abyss had a slightly red and hot body at this moment.

The surrounding seawater seemed to be boiling, bubbling away.

Innocently attacked and having his Cultivate interrupted, a trace of anger couldn't help but flash between his brows.

The Jia people wandering around were also enraged, and as if instigated, they rushed out of the abyss one after another, pouncing on the humans who dared to actively provoke the "god."

A Jie struggled to stabilize his figure amidst the surging waves.

Seeing the densely packed Jia people surging over, he was so scared that he hurriedly shouted through the intercom.

"Quickly fire infrasound waves to drive them away!"

Buzz—

Two team members raised their infrasound guns almost simultaneously and pulled the triggers.

High-intensity harmful sound waves spread rapidly in the seawater, shocking the swarms of Jia people into scattering and fleeing in all directions.

After all, they were brainless monsters. Under the condition of complete weaponry and equipment, they were still relatively easy to deal with.

Everyone exhaled a bubble, panted for a while, and then looked closely at the strange man.

Seeing him quietly suspended in the abyss, his figure suddenly flickered.

Then he straightly passed through the layers of seawater waves, sprinting toward them at high speed like a torpedo.

A distance of a hundred meters, under the blessing of this speed, could be reached in just a few seconds.

At this moment, without A Jie's command,

the pursuer team members immediately opened fire one after another, attempting to kill or seriously injure the opponent.

Bang, bang, bang, bang—

The firelight of the muzzles bloomed faintly in the darkness, and bullets crisscrossed through the seawater.

Not missing a single shot!

However, they couldn't hit the target's figure at all.

Besides the resistance caused by the churning waves, it was also because the opponent's swimming speed in the sea was simply outrageous.

It could even be said to be somewhat faster than those Jia people who lived in the deep sea all year round.

Fang Cheng's eyes were bright and sharp, staring firmly at the people firing and attacking him.

Splash—

In an instant, he rushed to the top of the crevice and plunged into the armed crowd.

His fist pierced through the heavy seawater, fiercely smashing into the target's chest with an afterwave of shock.

Hearing a "crack" sound.

The chest collapsed, and blood seeped out from the diving suit pierced by bones, rapidly staining the seawater red.

Having resolved one enemy, Fang Cheng spun around quickly, suddenly dodging the sneak attack of a few bullets.

Then, stepping with the soles of his feet and utilizing the buoyancy of the seawater, he abruptly executed an airborne spinning kick, blowing up the head of another pursuer with a single kick.

In a sea area over fifty meters deep, an environment requiring the extra endurance of several times the pressure, everyone's movements became unusually slow.

Only Fang Cheng's figure remained nimble and free, even unhindered compared to being on land.

This unstoppable combat power appeared truly terrifying.

"Too strong!"

A Jie turned pale with fright at the sight, not even daring to use his own ability rashly, and decisively swam to escape toward the sea surface.

Such a dangerous enemy could be dealt with by the special envoy himself; there was no need for him to stick his neck out.

In just a few seconds, he killed two companions empty-handed.

Such an efficient slaughter scene also scared the other pursuers out of their wits, completely losing their will to fight, and they opened their buoyancy compensators one after another.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, stepping on flippers, they shot straight up.

As for the three Zhenxiang Society salvage personnel, taking advantage of the chaos, they had long sneaked away and burrowed into the boundless dark waters.

Watching the group of people rapidly floating up toward the sea surface, Fang Cheng was not flustered.

"Hiss!"

His right middle and index fingers pressed together, and a wisp of azure True Qi condensed at his fingertips, rotating like a crystal-clear water droplet.

Then, with a single point of his finger, the True Qi-wrapped water droplet shot out at a speed comparable to a bullet.

No, it should be faster than a bullet.

Because it was completely unrestricted by seawater resistance, as if fused into the ocean waves.

Making this finger strike silent yet possessing the might to pierce through flesh and blood.

A pursuer fleeing toward the sea surface suddenly groaned, a small yet fatal blood hole appearing on his back.

Then, with his limbs twitching, he quickly lost the power to continue upwards, slowly sinking toward the seabed accompanied by a gushing stream of blood.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Fang Cheng waved all ten fingers simultaneously, continuously using water droplet bullets to shoot and kill his targeted victims.

Just like a top-tier master in Wuxia novels executing the Flicking Finger Skill or the Six Meridian Divine Sword.

The Meditation skill successfully upgraded, the Breathing Technique operated smoothly, and finally, "True Qi" capable of leaving the body to exert effects was born.

This was truly the moment when the true power of Qigong was displayed.

In the headsets, screams rang out one after another.

A Jie's heart thumped wildly; even with the respirator on, he felt a tightness in his chest and was almost suffocating.

Sounds of water waves being sliced open came from all around, and the other team members were scrambling to swim toward the sea surface.

Seeing this, A Jie simply discarded his gas cylinder to accelerate his floating speed.

Under the current circumstances, it wasn't a matter of who swam faster, but rather who wouldn't fall to the end of the team.

A Jie's stroking hands were about to touch the sea surface, and through the bright "tunnel exit," he could already see the ship's side rocking with the waves.

Just at this moment, he faintly heard a slight yet extremely piercing whistling sound.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately used his ability without hesitation.

The hair all over his body grew wildly against the wind, like steel needles instantly piercing out from the diving suit.

He abruptly turned into something like a hedgehog; while taking a defensive posture, dozens of steel needles also instantly shot out from his back.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, he counterattacked toward the source of the sound.

It seemed the strategy worked, and the opponent's mysterious and unknown long-range attack was quickly and successfully neutralized.

A Jie's heart relaxed, and his body lunged upwards with all his might.

He finally broke out of the extremely oppressive "tunnel" and returned to the sea surface.

"What happened below?"

Wind and rain raged, waves roared, and Li Chengjun's voice faintly drifted into his ears.

"Below... that person..."

Just as A Jie took a breath and wanted to reply, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, as if pierced through by something.

Following closely, a heart-rending sharp pain suddenly struck, stunning his expression and making him secretly think that he had been careless.

The opponent's long-range attack actually came in a chain, and it seemed to be staring only at him.

A Jie opened his mouth and looked around with difficulty.

He found that the ones who finally escaped alive were only him and two other team members.

And those two team members looked intact and were rapidly climbing onto the ship.

"So hateful! Their luck is actually better than mine..."

Seeing this scene, A Jie's eyes became vacant, and before the blood in his throat could gush out, his mouth was gurglingly filled with seawater, and his consciousness quickly plunged into darkness.

Li Chengjun stepped on the ship's side with one foot, his eyes extremely gloomy.

Originally, upon hearing the screams coming from the intercom, he even wanted to jump into the sea to provide support.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, ten elite pursuer team members were dead with only two left, and even special ability users like A Jie could not escape this calamity.

At this moment, his heart could not help but feel somewhat startled and uncertain.

After listening to the survivors report the specific events that happened on the seabed, he immediately took a deep breath and ordered:

"Notify the other two teams of personnel to come here and converge immediately!"

At the seabed crevice, it fell back into dark silence.

After successively resolving nine enemies, Fang Cheng did not proceed with further hunting actions.

Because it was his first time attempting to use True Qi in combat, lacking moderation, the breath in his Dantian appeared somewhat disordered.

Then he meditated briefly and cycled through the Breathing Technique a few times.

After basically returning to normal, he looked up at the pitch-black sea surface.

Extending his line of sight upwards along the tunnel of light, he could see the shadows of two ships; obviously, there were still quite a few enemies up there.

However, Fang Cheng temporarily had no intention of continuing into battle right now.

Because there was still a more important matter that required him to make a timely choice.

That was the choice question interrupted by the opponent's attack just now.

Exclusive skill synthesis.
