Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 77: Deep Sea
The battle in the sky continues.
The last bean soldiers frantically attacked the Beast Refining Sect disciples, not giving them a chance to pursue them. No matter how hard the Beast Refining Sect disciples tried, they could not break through the blockade.
At this moment, sword rays appeared one after another in the distance, striking the bean soldiers with incomparable precision. Some of them even grazed the bodies of the Beast Refining Sect disciples, but there were no sword wounds. to one's own people.
In an instant, all the bean soldiers were cleared away. It was only then that a figure came flying from the distance, but it was a middle-aged man with a long hand.
Seeing this person, all the Beast Refining Sect members saluted respectfully: "I have seen the real Tianjian."
This man's name is Chang Mingxin, one of the three real people in charge of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden this time.
This man is an anomaly, because he is not good at refining beasts, but swordsmanship. He is a typical swordsman who is extremely skilled in heavenly swordsmanship.
Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not surprising. The six major sects have existed for thousands of years, and they have learned from the best of all the sects. They have countless martial arts and magical arts, and they have never restricted what kind of route their disciples must take, so there have always been many outliers.
For example, the Qijue Sect mainly uses alchemy arrays, and Wang Juemie does not know any skill. Although Tang Jie is a disciple of the Xiyue Sect, his level of formations is ranked high among the Qijue Sect. of.
The same is true for Chang Mingxin. He has only cultivated one level of Ten Thousand Beasts Concentric Technique, and only has one refined beast. But this person's swordsmanship is really sharp. Even among the strongest sword cultivators, Tianya Haige and Xiyue Sect, he is still a good hand.
What he is best at is ultra-long-distance precise attacks. He claims that everything he looks at is within his attack range.
This statement is naturally an exaggeration, but if the range of his attack is what ordinary people can see, it makes sense.
Thus, although he is only a real person in the spiritual ring stage, Chang Mingxin's strength is much stronger than that of Shi Jingzhai Yu Wanniang and others.
At this moment, Chang Mingxin appeared, and all the disciples came to see him.
Chang Mingxin waved his hand and said: "That's all, it's an emergency, no need to be polite."
As he spoke, his eyes turned to the sea below.
The waves of the sea water are rolling, and there is no trace of Tang Jie anywhere. Even with Chang Mingxin's boundless eyes, he can only see a hundred meters underwater, and he cannot see through it any further.
He snorted: "Tang Jie has entered the sea. Although the sea can block his sight and smell, his speed is greatly reduced, which is far inferior to flying in the air. He can't escape too far in this short time. I'll go and set up dragnets in all directions as soon as possible. , don’t give this person a chance to escape!”
"Yes!" All the disciples accepted the order in unison.
At the same time, more Beast Refining Sect disciples were arriving. Under the command of Chang Mingxin, with the point where Tang Jie fell into the sea as the center, a large net spread out in all directions. Some disciples of the Beast Refining Sect began to capture sea monsters and train them for their own use in order to deal with Tang Jie.
——————————
Ploping into the water, Tang Jie continued to dive towards the bottom.
When that ray of sword light struck, he already knew that the person coming was Tianjian Zhenren - during the conversation with Lin Baizang, he had already roughly understood the situation of some of the pursuers.
So after knowing that it was Chang Mingxin, Tang Jie immediately flew into the sea. This was the only way to temporarily escape Chang Mingxin's attack.
At the same time as he entered the water, Tang Jie had already taken out something.
Clam beads.
This is exactly what he got when he rescued Clam Girl on the way to the Immortal Fate Association. Tang Jie had been of no use until now, but he didn't expect it to be useful today.
The next moment, the sea water around Tang Jie automatically separated. With Tang Jie as the center, it was like a free space. All sea water automatically stopped approaching half a meter away from Tang Jie.
Interestingly, this does not prevent the fish from approaching.
Some fish swimming in the sea just passed through the water barrier and came to Tang Jie who had no water at all. They flapped their tails and fell downwards. After falling to the bottom and entering the sea water again, they shook their tails. Swim away.
An interesting scene appeared next to Tang Jie. From time to time, fish swam past him. They swam to the waterless area and then fell down, leaving no splash of water with them.
It's like a weightless space, with fish always "flying".
However, there is a disadvantage in using this bead, that is, in this case, Tang Jie can neither swim nor fly.
He could only let himself sink all the way to the bottom of the sea, sink to the seabed, and then walk forward step by step.
This feeling was quite rare for Tang Jie. He took a look at the surroundings first, and then walked towards Leshan Island - he had spotted the direction before diving.
The depths of the seabed are dark and cold, but it is not lonely here.
Although there was no light, with the help of the powerful visual ability brought by insight and the subtle light of the clam beads, Tang Jie still saw various swimming fish passing by him.
They looked weird and weird, and there were all kinds of them. Tang Jie had never seen some of them before, or even heard of them, or even thought about them.
There is a kind of fish with a horse face and four leg-like fins, which makes it look like it is walking in the sea when it swims; there is a kind of fish whose body glows, and the blue stripes all over its body flicker under the light. It was suddenly dark and looked quite gorgeous; there was a fish Tang Jie knew, called the bat ray, which was shaped like a huge bat and flapped its two wing-like wings under the water, as if flying in the sea.
A bulky tiger-head shark swam from a distance.
The king-shaped wrinkles on its forehead fully demonstrate the kingly charm of this big guy. Wherever it passes, everyone retreats.
It seemed to be curious about Tang Jie. It had never seen such a creature before. So it swam over, half of its head entered the space around Tang Jie, and opened its **** mouth towards Tang Jie.
Tang Jie reached out his hand unhurriedly and held its mouth, so the tiger shark's mouth could no longer be closed.
Tang Jie put his head into the tiger-headed shark's mouth and looked at the guy's internal structure. Then he pulled it back and stared at the tiger-headed shark with big eyes and small eyes.
He let go, and the tiger shark bit him on the arm.
Crack.
It broke its own tooth.
Tang Jie touched its forehead and showed a kind smile.
The tiger shark finally felt the powerless fear and pain of frustration, and swam to the side while wagging its tail.
There are also more powerful ones.
A giant squid that turned into a monster came to Tang Jie for no reason. This guy was huge, like a building curled up on the bottom of the sea. When Tang Jie passed by it, its python-like tentacles wrapped around Tang Jie, and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth opened at the tentacles. It really looked like a terrifying sea monster in the extreme cold.
It's a pity that a sea monster of this level is as fragile as a baby in Tang Jie's eyes.
Tang Jie could tell at a glance that although this guy was big, he only had the strength of an intermediate psychic.
Grabbing the huge tentacle, Tang Jie threw the squid out.
Just for exploring.
As the squid flew out, a ray of light fell from above, slicing the body of the giant squid like butter, and a red tide appeared in the sea water.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jie's eyes suddenly shrank.
Is it true that a trap has been set up around the sea area?
He slowed down and came not far from where the squid died. Tang Jie searched the seabed with his eyes, and finally saw some wriggling sea silkworms on the seabed.
These sea silkworms lie on the seabed like caterpillars on the seabed. Their color is similar to that of fine sand, making them extremely difficult to distinguish. But the most important thing is that these sea silkworms are shining with some special marks, which are signs of being controlled by cultivators.
Fortunately, the sea silkworm has no visual ability and only senses the outside world through vibration. As long as you walk slowly over and don't cause too much noise, the people above should not notice it.
Thinking of this, Tang Jie continued to walk forward carefully.
While walking, Tang Jie saw a turtle sinking from above, with a stone tied to its body, which made it unable to change its sinking trend no matter how hard it rowed.
The old turtle that was turning around in a hurry stretched out his head desperately, and a pair of green eyes were falling on Tang Jie.
Oops!
This thought flashed through Tang Jie's mind, and he suddenly exerted force on his feet and jumped back.
A sharp sword light parted the water waves and struck where Tang Jie had previously stood.
Tang Jie turned around and left. In just a moment, a group of cultivators had come down from the sea. The leader was an enlightened cultivator, followed by six others.
The leader of the cultivators looked in all directions, pointed inward, and the seven men were already chasing Tang Jie in the direction in which he had retreated.
There are seven more teams like this in this sea area. They are swimming around like sharks, looking for traces of Tang Jie. And on the outer periphery is the surveillance and blockade formed by the cultivators of the Beast Refining Sect.
Master Tianjian is sitting in the center, and he will cut down any suspicious movement with one sword.
This time there will be no delays in his support.
Without the confusion caused by the rush to catch up, all the Beast Refining Sect disciples have formed a formation, and even the disciples of Shatang have formed a battle formation, truly beginning to exert the unique power of a sect.
Their search was very methodical. They were not in a hurry to find Tang Jie. Instead, they searched every space from all directions like a comb combing their hair.
Under their close and meticulous pursuit, not to mention Tang Jie, a ninth-level cultivator, even a real person dare not say that he could escape.
While chasing at this moment, they kept catching various sea creatures, using the special mind-possessing ghost eye technique of the Beast Refining Sect on them, and using these swimming fish to expand their horizons.
The mind-possessed ghost eye can only act on a maximum of nine ordinary creatures, but it can be replaced. Therefore, most of the disciples of the Beast Refining Sect catch some fast swimming fish such as swordfish. However, one disadvantage of this type of fish is that they move around randomly and are not controlled by practitioners.
Therefore, we still need something like the Sea Silkworm Old Turtle that is not very mobile to be used for fixed-point blockade.
Because of their approach, the fish were frightened and fled one after another.
Of course not every fish knows how to escape.
A sea shark swam past the searcher's body and stared at the cultivator with its big curious eyes. It did not choose to attack, which made its lucky cultivator ignore it - it was not that its speed was unsatisfactory, but that its size was too large and the consumption of the mind-possessed ghost eye was greater.
A giant elephant king clam, as big as a house, lay leisurely on the seabed, opening its shell slightly and spitting out a string of bubbles, turning a blind eye to this group of strange visitors.
The seven people quickly swam forward and left the area.
Just when he had not swam very far, the last disciple of the Beast Refining Sect suddenly heard a soft snap.
Looking back, I saw that the elephant king clam slowly opened its shell, and a stream of water poured out of the clam.
Is it a clam demon?
The Beast Refining Sect disciple was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.
The clam demon has a chance to produce clam pearls, which are good treasures that can ward off water and fire. Moreover, the clam demons themselves are mostly beauties and are quite popular in Xianjiafang City.
The disciple wanted to collect the clam demon easily, so he approached the clam shell. Just as he approached the clam demon, he saw a hand suddenly stretched out from the clam, grabbing him and pulling him away from the clam. The disciple screamed in shock. As soon as he opened his mouth, sea water poured into his mouth, but he couldn't even make a sound. His whole body was pulled into the clam by the hand.
Clam shell closed.
The huge clam body suddenly trembled violently for a few times, and then returned to calmness after a while.
It took a while for this group of Beast Refining Sect disciples to realize that they were missing one person. By the time they started searching the area again, Tang Jie had already arrived at another place.
There are large areas of coral growing here.
Tang Jie moved towards the coral group, like a fish swimming through the huge gap between the corals.
A crown-headed fish lying in a pile of rocks jumped up in fright. The huge sarcoma on its forehead was like a hammer, hitting the nearby coral reef and making a hole. Then this guy with weird and huge strength swam away in a hurry.
It was caught by Tang Jie before it could swim far.
Tang Jie looked at its weird appearance and huge body, grabbed a piece of coral, and watched it activate the copying technique.
Under the influence of the copying technique, the piece of coral gradually turned into the shape of a crown-headed fish.
Tang Jie then threw away the real fish and dug into the sand. The big crested fish lay on the sea bed, completely covering Tang Jie.
In order not to be discovered, Tang Jie put away the clam beads.
The last bit of light disappeared, and the sea hugged Tang Jie into its arms. Now, he truly became one with the sea.
He swam slowly in the sea, and the wound stained by seawater was extremely painful. Tang Jie could only use his spiritual energy to cover the wound as much as possible to buy time for recovery.
Not being able to breathe is not a problem.
Cultivators who have escaped from the mortal realm are no longer ordinary people.
Mortals need to take in oxygen to breathe, but cultivators need to take in spiritual energy to breathe. Therefore, being on the bottom of the sea, at best, the ability to recover is limited, but there is no problem in survival.
The surroundings were filled with deathly darkness, but Tang Jie knew that in the depths of this darkness, countless people were approaching him.
He kept retreating, but his eyes remained calm and collected, without the slightest fear.
After a while, a group of Beast Refining Sect disciples arrived.
They stopped at the top of the coral reef, and the leader took out a bead and illuminated it, looking around. When he saw a corner that was not illuminated by light, he would direct others to look at it, and the search was considered to be careful and conscientious.
After some inspection, nothing was found. The leading Beast Refining Sect disciple put away the beads, waved his hand, and everyone followed and continued to swim forward.
When the last Beast Refining Sect disciple passed by the big crown-headed fish, he did not notice that a figure slowly rose from behind him.
Tang Jie took a golden thread and wrapped it around the disciple's neck.
Because he was at the bottom of the sea, all movements here were slowed down, which made Tang Jie's movements extremely slow.
Perhaps the change in the water flow made the disciple a little alert, or maybe it was just intuition or some other reason, but the disciple actually turned around.
At that moment, Tang Jie's eyes met ~IndoMTL.com~ The disciple's expression showed extreme fear.
Tang Jie's body had already rushed forward and strangled the disciple's neck with the golden thread.
The disciple instinctively grabbed the gold thread and tried to push it away, so he saw that the gold thread was submerged in his palm, his fingers were cut off one by one, and then the gold thread continued to cut from his mouth.
Then his face was cut in half.
Blood and water mixed with brain matter spread out in the sea, just like ink falling on rice paper.
The broken hands grasped in vain towards the air, and the body with only half of the head left slowly fell, landing on the seabed.
Taking the mustard bag and identity tag from the disciple, Tang Jie glanced at the group of people who had not noticed anything strange behind him, and swam to the other side.
