Chapter 807: Chapter 366: Slaying the Fourth Rank Demon Beast (3)

Xu Ping concealed his presence, like a deep-sea fish, silently diving into the depths of the dark green water.

Indeed, at the base of a massive black reef shaped like a grim ghostly face, he discovered a deep cave.

The water at the entrance flowed unusually gently, with powerful water element fluctuations emanating faintly.

He did not act immediately, but instead issued a command to the Water Lake Rat.

The Water Lake Rat understood, sneaking to a turbulent undertow node at the back of the cave, concealing its presence like a nondescript rock on the seabed.

Everything was in place.

Xu Ping’s gaze sharpened, no longer hiding.

He pressed his sword fingers together and pointed into the air.

"Zheng!"

A clear and resounding sword hum tore through the viscous seawater.

Seventy-three sword lights, solidified and pulsing with a grim green glow, erupted from him.

The sword lights split and instantly formed a vast sword array covering a thousand feet of the sea area.

Array patterns circulated, sword Qi crisscrossed, slicing the seawater into countless vacuum pockets! The terrifying slaying sword intent firmly locked onto the depths of the cave.

Roar!!!

From within the cave, a furious and enraged roar exploded! The seawater in Ghost Water Bay boiled because of it.

A massive creature suddenly surged out from the cave.

Looking like a small mountain, its entire body was covered in thick turtle shells, deep blue to almost black, adorned with mysterious natural water patterns, its head fierce and eyes blood-red.

It was precisely the Water Spirit Turtle.

Xu Ping thought the turtle would battle him.

But unexpectedly, feeling a lethal threat, it fled without fighting.

Its sturdy limbs churned the seawater, its massive body burst forth with shocking speed unfit for its size, transforming into a raging water tornado, desperately escaping away from the sword array’s direction.

"Trying to leave?"

Though Xu Ping was surprised, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.

He pinched a magic technique, changing the sword technique.

Within the sword array, dozens of sword lights imbued with pure water element sword intent suddenly ignited, linking into a net.

In an instant, the vast seawater force previously under the turtle’s control became sluggish and heavy, as if trapped in an invisible mire.

Its escape speed sharply reduced.

Just as the Water Spirit Turtle became terrified and desperately struggled.

Squeak!

A sharp mouse squeal piercing the eardrums suddenly erupted from its escape path in front.

The Water Lake Rat’s plump body swelled several times, transforming into an enormous shadowy rat.

It opened its giant mouth, with an eerie light flashing deep within its throat; a terrifying devouring power surged, forcibly tearing a huge gap in the raging water tornado the Water Spirit Turtle had conjured.

Simultaneously, the fearsome pressure of a Tier Four Middle-grade Great Demon was unleashed without restraint, like an unseen giant hammer, hammering on the Water Spirit Turtle’s spirit.

Fronted by a devouring giant mouth blocking the path, behind by a death-luring sword array locking it in.

The Water Spirit Turtle was scared out of its wits, a spark of desperate madness glimmering in its blood-red eyes, its neck fiercely retracting, as all its demonic power frantically poured into the Essence Soul Pill, intending to self-destruct.

"Break!"

Xu Ping’s eyes were cold, his sword finger like a spear of judgment, courageously striking down.

At the sword array’s core, seventy-three sword lights merged into one.

Transformed into a massive blue sword a hundred feet long, solidified to the utmost degree.

Ignoring the layered water element barriers the heavy turtle shell induced, it sliced down like a hot knife through butter.

Rustle!

No earth-shaking collision sound, only a teeth-gritting light ripping sound like leather tearing.

The Water Spirit Turtle’s once-proud, fearsome head, capable of withstanding peak Early-stage Nascent Soul attacks, along with half of its neck, was sliced off by the blue giant sword without hindrance.

The cut was smooth as a mirror, even the fresh blood unable to spurt before all vitality was extinguished by the decimating sword intent.

The enormous turtle corpse lost all strength, sinking slowly.

The Water Lake Rat’s eyes emitted a spirited flash, transforming into a gray shadow darting electrifyingly.

Its two front paws like the most precise magical artifacts instantly broke open the turtle corpse’s chest cavity, retrieving a pristine blue round pill the size of a fist, with absolute precision.

That was the Water Spirit Turtle’s innate Essence Soul Pill.

It offered the pill and the shrunken turtle corpse to Xu Ping with flattery.

"Well done."

Xu Ping received the still warm Essence Soul Pill and the heavy turtle corpse, his lips finally revealing a sincere smile.

So easily claiming a Fourth Rank Demon Beast known for its defense, the harvest far exceeded expectations.

This Water Spirit Turtle’s shell, demon bone... all were excellent primary materials for refining Fourth Rank Puppets.

Saves a lot of effort.

A Fourth Rank Lower Grade Demon Beast, its whole body essence, sufficient to support most of the material needed for refining a Fourth Rank Puppet.

Xu Ping quickly calculated in his mind: "At this rate, just slay two more Fourth Rank Demon Beasts, gathering materials for two puppets shouldn’t be a problem!"

However, this thought was just passing.

His real target was the Ten Puppet Array enough to rival Late-Stage Nascent Soul. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ten genuine Fourth Rank puppets... at least needs hunting thirteen or more Fourth Rank Demon Beasts."

Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with a hint of heat.

This in the Nanchuan Realm, this is practically a pipe dream.

But outside in the vast, perilous, great demon-infested Second-stage Wind Element... there’s a chance to realize it.

Putting away the spoils, the figures of Xu Ping and the Water Lake Rat merged into the dark water once again, like the most patient hunters, searching for the next target.

Beneath the calm sea surface, danger lurked.

...

Time flies, another seven years passed.

A grand desolate island, isolated amidst turbulent sea currents, resembling a giant beast’s carcass, its jagged black reefs reaching for the skies.

At this moment, this lifeless island was completely ignited by deafening roars and violent energy fluctuations.

Roar!

Piercing, furious growls tore through the sky.

An enormous rat, its size comparable to a small mountain, covered entirely in dark golden needle-like bristles, was caught in a frenzied beast’s struggle.

Its eyes were blood-red, fangs bared, the ferocious demon aura of Fourth Rank Lower Grade Peak swept through like a tangible storm.

It was the island’s overlord—the Gold-Eating Rat King.

However, its opponent filled it with unprecedented despair.

In the sky above, seventy-three blue sword lights like a death-weaving net, formed a sword array enveloping half the sky.
