Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 896 - 425: Setting Sail (Part 2)

The large ship sailed steadily over the sea, and Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi chatted for a while before beginning to meditate with their eyes closed.

However, the calm days did not last long.

On the night ten days later, Li Yunjing was cultivating when he suddenly felt the ship tremble slightly, followed by a burst of noisy sounds from outside.

He immediately opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

"Is something wrong?"

Zhao Qi also awoke from meditation, her expression serious.

"Let's take a look before saying anything!"

Li Yunjing quickly got up, walked to the door, and gently pushed open a slit to look outside.

In the hallway, brightly lit, several cultivators in black clothing hurried by, their expressions urgent.

Li Yunjing listened for a while and understood the gist of it.

There's a demon beast attacking from the sea, and the Four Seas Commerce Association's people are engaging in a battle with the beasts.

Such things happen frequently at sea.

Cultivators might spare the Four Seas Commerce Association some respect, but demon beasts couldn't care less who you are!

If encountered at sea, a fierce battle could erupt at any moment.

Li Yunjing wasn't too worried about his own safety.

On this large ship, the Four Seas Commerce Association's strength is formidable, with at least three Golden Core Realm cultivators stationed.

Moreover, in the first and second-class cabins, there are also some Golden Core Realm cultivators.

These cultivators usually won't act, as they aren't part of the Four Seas Commerce Association, and there's no need to help, but if something happens to the ship, these individuals will have to hold their noses and reluctantly act to help resist the demon beast attack to protect themselves.

Once confirming there isn't a major issue, Li Yunjing gently closed the door and turned to Zhao Qi, saying, "It's an attack by a sea demon beast. The cultivators on the ship are handling it. However, there are three Golden Core Realm cultivators stationed here, so there should be no problem."

"Right! It has nothing to do with us!"

Zhao Qi nodded, though her eyes still carried a hint of worry: "However, we should remain cautious. Sea demon beasts come in a wide variety, some even rival Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. If an accident occurs..."

"Our luck isn't that bad!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, even if an accident truly happens, we have the power to protect ourselves. Besides, the Four Seas Commerce Association's ship isn't so easily breached."

Not long after, the ship trembled violently again, and the noise outside grew even louder.

Vaguely, the roars of demon beasts and the shouts of cultivators could be heard.

"Hmm? Are the Four Seas Commerce Association's people so incompetent? Haven't they dispelled the demon beasts yet?"

Li Yunjing walked to the window and looked outside through the porthole.

In the distance over the sea, the waves surged, and hundreds of colossal demon beasts fiercely battled with the cultivators on the ship.

These demon beasts were enormous in size, some resembling giant whales, others like long serpents, their bodies covered in hard scales, spraying water columns and lightning from their mouths, an impressive sight.

"It seems the demon beasts this time are no ordinary foes!"

Li Yunjing squinted his eyes and murmured quietly.

Zhao Qi also came to the window, glanced outside, and furrowed her brows tightly: "These demon beasts seem to be Deep Sea Thunder Flood Dragons and Giant-toothed Whales, both extremely formidable beasts, especially the Deep Sea Thunder Flood Dragons, said to be comparable in strength to late-stage Golden Core cultivators upon reaching maturity."

"In any case, it's not our affair!"

Li Yunjing nodded, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "As long as the Four Seas Commerce Association's cultivators haven't all perished, we'll wait here!"

The two of them settled on their next course of action and peered out through the window.

Outside the large ship, three Golden Core Realm cultivators hovered in mid-air, each casting magic in intense battles with the demon beasts.

One cultivator wielded a golden long spear, the tip dazzling with bright light, every swing brought forth a sharp spear glow directly targeting the demon beast's vital points.

Another cultivator manipulated a massive array continuously shooting fire stones towards the sea, raining down clusters of fire.

The last cultivator stood at the forefront of the ship, both hands sealing, chanting incantations, seemingly preparing some powerful divine techniques.

As the three Golden Core Realm cultivators struck, onboard the large ship, the Four Seas Commerce Association's people operated the ship's firearms and bed crossbows, likewise bombarding in all directions.

"Boom!"

The sound of explosions almost never ceased.

Over the sea, dazzling divine techniques, magic, various magical treasures constantly bombarded, while those demon beasts were undiminished, displaying innate divine techniques or charging with their bodies, striving to attack.

Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi even leisurely moved a table to the windowfront, both sitting together, eating spirit fruits and sipping spirit tea, engrossed in watching the battle outside.

This relaxed feeling had a unique flavor.

Unlike the serene enjoyment of Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi, on the large ship, many low-tier cultivators were terrified, each heart pounding, not knowing what to do.

If not for the people from the Four Seas Commerce Association maintaining order on the lower decks, the lower cabins would have been in chaos.

While those on Li Yunjing's third layer and the two layers above were all highly-ranked cultivators, they weren't worried, each remaining composed.

After watching the commotion for a while, suddenly, the sea erupted, and a huge shadow surged from the water, heading straight for the ship.

The shadow was enormous, its body covered in pitch-black scales, a sharp horn protruding from its head, spewing foul black mist from its mouth, evidently a remarkably powerful demon beast.

"That is... the Unihorned Demon Flood Dragon!"
