Chapter 348: Monster Sea Ravens
"Fellow Daoist Liu, Fellow Daoist Nie, I've been waiting for you."
"Greetings, Senior Wuyazi. We have just arrived as well. Thank you for leading the way this time. I am very grateful."
"Haha, it's just a matter of convenience. Don't be polite. Let's go without further ado." Wuyazi smiled heartily and flew forward first.
Wuyazi, intent on testing their strength, rode ahead, his flying sword at the ready. With a whoosh, he vanished in the blink of an eye. Liu Xing and the other two smiled at each other, then leisurely summoned their Sky-Hidden Shuttles, effortlessly following without needing to use full power.
Seeing such a magical ancient treasure as the Man Tian Shuttle, Wuyazi was speechless. No matter how he accelerated, he was always closely followed by the two people at the same distance. When he was faster, the other party was faster, and when he was slower, the other party was slower.
"I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to play anymore! Your ancient treasure is a magical tool specially used for traveling. How can I compete with you in speed?" Wuyazi lost all interest in playing and cursed angrily.
"Senior, your skills are unparalleled. I simply cannot keep up. I have no choice but to use this ancient treasure given by Master to keep up. In terms of true magical power, my husband and I are naturally far inferior to you. Please take good care of me." Nie Xiaoqian was thoughtful and, noticing Wuyazi's gloomy mood, immediately consoled him. According to calculations, the journey to the Qianshan Islands would take over a year, and Wuyazi would need to lead the way carefully, so they would have to rely heavily on him.
"Hmph, stop flattering me. Magical weapons are also part of strength. If you can't outrun me, you can't outrun me!" Wuyazi felt a little better when he saw that Nie Xiaoqian's words sounded nice, but he still kept cursing.
With the Sky-Hunting Shuttle at their disposal, the two took turns piloting the instrument and resting. This offered significant advantages, allowing both to maintain a constant supply of mana. Wuyazi, having relinquished his urge to race for speed, also summoned a flying instrument: a slender flying boat piloted by a specialized puppet. While not as fast as the Sky-Hunting Shuttle, it could still cover ten miles in an instant, far faster than a peak Jindan cultivator. With the self-driving boat, Wuyazi could free up his hands for scouting and engaging the enemy.
"Senior, the Righteous Alliance has such a vast territory, why hasn't it built a corresponding teleportation array? With a teleportation array, travel efficiency will be much higher." Liu Xing asked in confusion.
"Hmph, do you think we don't want a teleportation array? It's just that the space in the Chaos Sea is not very stable. Using high-powered space instruments may cause space cracks, let alone a long-distance teleportation array. That's why the Righteous Alliance only arranged some short-distance teleportation arrays around the core area, Qianshan Islands." Wuyazi replied unhappily.
"Oh." Liu Xing was speechless for a moment, and silently noted in his mind the fact that the space here was unstable.
As he spoke, Liu Xing suddenly sensed a group of flying sea monsters heading in his direction, two hundred miles ahead. He glanced at Wuyazi quietly, but found he hadn't noticed, so he remained silent, pretending not to see anything.
After a cup of tea, Wuyazi suddenly stood up and looked ahead with a serious expression.
"My two fellow Taoists, please pay attention. There is a group of sea crows coming towards us. It is too late to avoid them. Follow me and use thunder-like means to quickly destroy them. Otherwise, if we are entangled, there will be endless sea crows attacking us." Wuyazi's voice penetrated the ears of Liu Xing and the others.
"We will follow your instructions, senior. How dare we not do our best?" Liu Xing and the other two pretended to be surprised and immediately stood up to prepare for battle.
Wuyazi nodded. Seeing that the other party was shocked but not panicked, and obeyed the arrangements obediently, he felt quite satisfied.
Soon, thousands of murres appeared before their eyes. They also discovered the three people and swarmed over.
"Quack, quack..." The noisy and harsh chirping sounds make people feel upset.
Wuyazi swung his celestial magical weapon, the Thousand-Leaf Whisk, which transformed into countless steel wires that swooped down on the sea crows, piercing them like needles and tangling them like threads. The crows caught in the crossfire were instantly reduced to a bloody mist. Seeing Wuyazi as the strongest of the three, a dozen or so Jindan-stage sea monsters immediately surrounded him. The crows flapped their wings in a frenzy, stirring up a torrential wave. A dense volley of water arrows and icicles descended upon Wuyazi like a volley of arrows. Despite his Nascent Soul status, Wuyazi was forced to employ his magical tools in defense and carefully respond to such a dense onslaught.
"I will hold back these demon generals, and you guys quickly kill the remaining demon soldiers!" Wuyazi quickly sent a message to Liu Xing.
"Don't worry, senior. We will take care of the rest of the sea crows!" Liu Xing was also unambiguous. Facing only some level two, three and four sea crows, although there were a large number of them, it should not be difficult to kill them.
Liu Xing summoned his jade flute, activated the Illusionary Sound Sutra, and recklessly charged into the center of the crows. The jade flute's demonic sound instantly drowned out the ravens' croaking cries. Like spiritual arrows, the demonic sound shot into the crows' consciousness, instantly plunging them into a despairing illusion.
Nie Xiaoqian was not to be outdone. Her lifeblood magic weapon was a sword of the God of Death. At this moment, it was like a God of Death descending to the world, and she killed the raven that was on the verge of collapse due to the sound waves with one sword. The flying sword was extremely fast, turning into a shadow, ruthlessly harvesting the life of the siren.
These sea crows were large, powerful, and had great magical powers, but they were still immature and had weak mental powers. When they encountered a powerful spiritual consciousness like Liu Xing, whose sonic-based mental attacks were used, they were completely suppressed.
In just a few breaths, the majority of the thousands of sirens were annihilated. The sea crows at the edge, terrified by the slaughter, though unconscious, knew their lives were in grave danger. They instinctively withdrew from the battlefield and quickly scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.
"It's actually sonic power?!" Wuyazi muttered to himself.
Although he was in a state of disarray after being surrounded and attacked by high-level sea ravens, he wasn't in danger of his life, so he paid some attention to the battlefield on Liu Xing's side. He was astonished at the speed with which Liu Xing and the other two worked together to eliminate the sea monsters. Even if he had taken action himself, he might not have been as efficient. This was especially true given that Liu Xing's main cultivation technique was a spiritual cultivation technique. This type of technique was extremely rare and was the best way to deal with demons. It was highly valuable in the Chaos Sea, attracting both human cultivators and demons.
"Qian'er, you clean up the battlefield first, I'll go help Wuyazi." Liu Xing sent a message to Nie Xiaoqian.
Although the ravens killed were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, their sheer numbers meant both their demon cores and their remains were a valuable asset, and they couldn't afford to waste them. Duoduo had fallen into a deep slumber since taking a Level 6 otter's demon core years ago. His aura was gradually growing, so waking him wasn't a good idea, as it would have provided him with an extra errand runner. The puppets were another life-saving method for the couple, and they couldn't easily display them to others. There was no other choice but to take on the battle himself.
