Chapter 566 - 239: Attack of the Undersea People! (2)
The Undersea Person in the middle continued to sneer coldly, saying, "As for the newly appointed Saint Son, hehe, I plan to make use of his head."
"Oh? Could it be that you already have a plan, Senior?"
Young Master Wang’s eyes flashed as he asked.
"Indeed, the intelligence of our Undersea Race is no worse than that of your [Thirty-Six Alliance]. This new Saint Son is said to be highly regarded by the Celestial Demon Sect Leader. If at this moment he were to be dealt with by us, and his head displayed for all to see, it would surely be a severe blow to their [Demon Path Alliance]."
The Undersea Person remarked sharply.
Young Master Wang took a light breath, quickly pondering in his mind, and said, "Do you need me to send someone to assist?"
"No need, Young Master Wang, you just wait for our good news."
The Undersea Person cackled, "This time it’s not just about taking the head of a new Saint Son. We might even bring you the head of the East Saint Son as well!"
The companions around all joined in the eerie laughter, their strange voices echoing continuously in the heavy rain.
...
...
The rain continued relentlessly.
The mountain path was rugged.
Jiang Shi had just arrived at the East Sea Shore when he immediately sensed the different climate.
After two days of travel, the rain hadn’t stopped at all.
Flash floods were everywhere, and the tides surged.
Such weather was really not something to easily appreciate.
"How much longer until we reach the Three Cities of the East?"
Jiang Shi asked while sitting astride the Dragon Horse.
"Reporting to the Saint Son, it should be around a hundred miles from here."
An Elder from the main sect, Elder Bai, evaluated the terrain and responded.
"A hundred miles? Let’s find a place to settle for now and continue when the rain stops."
Jiang Shi responded.
"Not far ahead there should be an old abandoned temple where we can rest."
Elder Bai pointed into the distance.
"Let’s head there."
Jiang Shi urged the Dragon Horse and immediately charged towards the distant location.
The others like Chen Long, Pang Ban, and Venerable Withered Wood all swiftly followed.
The sound of hooves was dull.
Splashes of water flew everywhere.
A few minutes later.
Ahead of them, there indeed appeared a large, dilapidated temple, abandoned for many years, and overgrown with weeds around it.
Jiang Shi and the others dismounted and entered the dilapidated temple.
"This damn weather, is it always like this around the East Sea?"
Chen Long couldn’t help but say through gritted teeth.
"Not entirely, only two to three months of the year are like this. The rest of the time, it’s relatively normal."
Elder Bai chuckled bitterly and said, "Recently, this kind of weather has been frequent, likely related to the Undersea People, who live in the ocean and often control extreme weather."
"Is that so?"
Chen Long and the others all frowned.
"Hehehe..."
Suddenly, a sharp and eerie giggle echoed unexpectedly in the temple, the sound ethereal and elusive, hard to pinpoint.
Everyone in the temple looked startled and stood up abruptly.
"Who is it?"
They quickly looked in all directions.
"Hehehe..."
The eerie laughter rang again.
This time it came directly from outside the temple.
Chen Long and the others rushed out of the temple swiftly, their eyes scanning like lightning.
But apart from the continuous falling raindrops, they saw no trace of anyone else.
"Not good!"
Elder Bai’s face changed slightly, saying, "Could it be the Undersea People? Retreat!"
He immediately rushed back into the temple first.
Chen Long and the others quickly followed suit in retreat.
But just at that moment!
The surface of the water beside them suddenly bulged up rapidly, quickly forming a transparent, strange human figure.
Soon this figure became real, covered in scale armor all over, with a monstrous and pale face, showing an eerie sinister smile. As soon as it appeared, its entire palm turned jet-black, striking straight towards Chen Long, who was closest.
Chen Long’s face changed instantly, feeling an indescribable oppressive aura approaching, yet he couldn’t dodge. It seemed as if every pore in his body began to bleed, his soul felt locked, and his body became immobile.
Even before the palm truly landed, he felt as if his body was about to collapse.
Blood Pill!
Chen Long’s heart was instantly filled with fear.
Just then!
Suddenly, immense strength came from behind, accompanied by a cold snort, as a large hand pulled him away. Jiang Shi appeared almost instantaneously in Chen Long’s original place, striking the black palm ferociously with his own palm.
Bang!
A muffled sound, the surrounding water surface exploded continuously.
Huge splashes of water erupted.
Even the pouring rain seemed to pause briefly.
Amid the drifting rain, four bodies of Undersea People were forcefully shaken out, all spurting blood as they flew backward and crashed to the ground, each showing looks of shock.
Especially the one who had exchanged a palm with Jiang Shi, blood burst instantly from his seven orifices. His eyes widened, and he stood still, then suddenly his entire body crackled like sizzling beans, shattering into pieces.
A bright red Blood Pill flew out from the shattered body, accompanied by a blurred and fear-stricken soul, which shrieked and fled into the distance.
"Retreat!!"
A piercing voice echoed through the surroundings, just wanting to escape the place at all costs.
The four undersea people who had been shaken out also showed signs of panic and rolled their bodies, instantly merging into the rainwater on the ground, disappearing without a trace.
