Crushing the World - C70
His back was facing the school of fish, so he didn’t feel anything, but the flying needles were able to pierce through his heart.
Slowly, the bright blood spread out. However, at this time, the shoal of fish had already covered the man’s body and blocked the blood from spreading. It also pulled the body down again.
It was a faint green branch that came from Bai Ruozhi’s body, which caught his attention.
As they chased the shoal of fish, Shi Zhongzheng and the others began their sneak attacks. From time to time, they would shoot flying needles or fish-hunting arrows, silently reaping the lives of the little devils. Eight or nine little devils had already died at their hands, and their defense, which seemed like a metal bucket, had been forcibly torn apart by them.
“Clang!”
Just as they were about to attack the next person, they discovered that the Fish Hunting Arrow actually didn’t pierce through the other person’s body. As if blocked by something, a muffled sound of metal striking metal could be heard from the bottom of the sea. Then, the person turned around with a vigilant expression.
He just happened to see a pitch black fishing arrow aiming at him, and a pair of fierce eyes that were like tigers staring at their prey.
The little ghost also revealed a panicked expression. He reached out his hand to touch his waist and saw that there was a button on his waist that lit up with bursts of red light. In the blue sea water, it was extremely obvious. Moreover, it seemed to be emitting sonic waves as it spread out …
Damn, I’ve been exposed!
The flying needle in the rock shot out, and the black Fallen Gold shot through the middle of the man’s forehead. In the end, all that was left was an alarmed look. Behind the oxygen mask, his mouth was wide open as if he wanted to shout something, but he could not utter a word.
Her body slowly sank down to the bottom of the sea, and Bai Ruozhi threw all the little devils that were tied together with their branches into the sea as well.
A dozen or so little devils in front of them were quickly swimming towards them. The ice-cold Fish Hunting Arrow in their hands was already aimed at them.
“Be careful!”
The few people inside the stone quickly dispersed after making a few hand signals. Wasn’t gathering together just a trap?
Flying Star’s legs were like a pair of flying legs, constantly slapping the water. Waves of splashes came out from behind his legs.
He ran very fast on land, with a pair of good legs. Now that he was in the sea, it was more like he had a pair of nimble fins. It flowed in the direction of the little devils. The speed at which they swam was comparable to that of a flying star.
Shi Zhongzheng’s body was slowly sinking, the Spirit Severing stage in his hand was even darker under the bright moonlight. The Cosmic Meteorite Needle hovered above the middle of the rock. With the weight of the Soul-Splitting Spike, its speed of descent was even faster.
As for Bai Ruozhi who was dancing in the air, she seemed more like a kelp rooted in the middle of the ocean waters. The branches on her body increased in number, to the point that one could easily see her figure.
Only Gao Dazhuang and Mu Zixuan seemed to not have any protective magical equipment. They might be big and tall, but their skills in the water weren’t bad at all.
The waves were white, and the seas were overturned. He was actually acting as if he was in the sea. They no longer had the immaturity they had at the beginning. It was as if they were born with great skill on the water as they stepped on the waves.
However, facing the innumerable Fish Hunting Arrows, the two of them had no choice but to turn around and hide behind the defensive array set up by Bai Ruozhi.
This wasn’t their first time working together. While they were at the Tiger Head Demon, Tall Tall and the others were hiding behind Bai Ruozhi’s defenses.
He didn’t need to worry about his own safety. He just needed to focus on attacking.
“Swoosh, swoosh!” One after another, the Fish Hunting Arrows penetrated the seawater, bringing up water strings in the middle of the seawater. They penetrated through the water pressure and shot towards the little devil in front of them.
Dozens of little devils were divided into three groups, with only about twenty people in each team.
The arrows shot out by Gao Dazhuang and the others were rarely targeted, because all they could see was a bunch of little devils. As long as they shot out the arrows, they would always hit one or two of them.
With a bit of luck, the powerful fish arrow would still be able to nail the one behind him after piercing through one. Gao Dazhuang and Mu Zixuan grinned in delight. They never thought that the Fish Hunting Arrow they got from the little devil would be so useful.
Even if they were not able to hit their bodies, even if they managed to hit their diving suits, the strong water pressure would not be able to wash over them.
On the contrary, it was much more troublesome for them to fight against Tall and Mighty. Their eyes were filled with dancing deep sea plants and their arrows were even thrown away by the fast swinging branches. It was impossible to penetrate Bai Ruozhi’s defense. As long as it was near the edge of those plants, they would be entangled, waving it back and forth in the sea several tens of meters deep. Not long after, it was thrown unconscious.
Shi Zhongzheng was even simpler. Relying on the weight of his Spirit Severing, he dived to a point where the little ghost couldn’t attack him. The tip of his flying needle was clearly visible.
Tiny flying needles were constantly flying about in the sea water. It was incomparably nimble, and the deeper one went, the darker it became. The thin and long, dark and shiny Cosmic Meteorite Gold Needle had become the King of Slaughterers.
Reaping the little devils’ lives without restraint was accurate and ruthless. Moreover, there was nothing that could block his attack. With just a simple attack, it would pierce through the other party’s protective shield.
Many little devils entered from between their eyebrows and came out from the back of their heads. They didn’t even have the slightest reaction before leaving. His body slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. There would never be another person like this in this world.
Most exaggerated of all, the one with the loudest voice was the Flying Star. His legs flew up and down, creating countless blisters as they surrounded him.
The speed at which he swam was incomparably fast. Even some fishes deep in the sea might not be able to match his speed! With such a fast flying star, no matter how many people there were, they wouldn’t be able to catch up to him.
There was no trace of him among the arrows. He had clearly seen him stop there, but after shooting out the arrows, there was no sign of him. He had long since disappeared.
He had been running behind the other party the entire time, but he had never surpassed the latter. Needless to say, their fight this time was extremely depressing.
He wanted to fight to the death with his opponent, but they couldn’t even see his shadow. He was simply too far away.
This was the plan that Shi Zhongzheng and the others had made at the beginning. They hid behind the small fishes and quietly took care of some of the scum outside.
If the other party didn’t find out, then he would continue to do bad things quietly. But if the little devils found out, they would split into three groups and search for a chance to kill the little devils.
Very soon, the group had finished cleaning up the dozens of little devils. Only a dozen or so of them, who had already lost their courage, were left in the sea.
From a distance, they could see the stone platform, but none of them dared to advance any further. There were even some small devils that were already leaping towards the surface of the sea.
Shi Zhongzheng and the others didn’t pay any attention to the scumbags who were running away. Instead, they turned around and drilled into the sewer. That was their true target.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that the battle just now had alarmed the diver, but there was no one left in the trench. It was dark without any light, and one could not see their five fingers in front of them.
Despite the fact that Shi Zhongzheng was currently at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he could only see five to six meters ahead of him in this pitch-black depths.
As for Gao Dazhuang and Mu Zixuan, they had long since become blind. If it wasn’t for Bai Ruozhi entangling them with a branch, the two of them might have already been swept away by the ocean current.
Only Bai Ruozhi was calm. Countless branches were emitted from her body, constantly expanding and contracting in the deep sea like a giant octopus.
The further down they went, the greater the water pressure. Shi Zhongzheng and the others were only wearing ordinary diving suits. They couldn’t even compare to professional diving suits.
In the distant rocks, he could feel a huge existence at the bottom of the oceanic trench, as if a huge ship was lurking there.
A thin layer of true energy was placed on his body, causing the pressure of the sea water to be greatly reduced. Relying on the dim light from the light stones on his body, he could vaguely see some ugly creatures swimming about in the deep sea. Moreover, there were spots of rust on the massive ship.
He could see something bright inside the exposed part of the ship. Although the seawater had eroded it for such a long time, he could still feel the metallic scent.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, above the middle of the rock, there was a ripple, as if something had swam by.
This was not an ordinary fish swimming about, and one could feel it from within the stone. The feeling of the fish swimming in the water shouldn’t be like this, and when the center of the rock looked towards the place where the ripples had just occurred, there wasn’t even a trace of movement, not even a small fish or a small shrimp.
Shi Zhongzheng was alarmed. Could it be that there were still mutations in the depths of the sea? Ye Zichen waved towards Bai Ruozhi, who was standing not far away, then signaled her to come over to his side.
Water plants that fluttered from time to time slowly floated over. As for Gao Dazhuang and Mu Zixuan, they were like two big dumplings wrapped in water plants.
After quietly performing a few hand gestures, Shi Zhongzheng and Bai Ruozhi slowly gathered together. They were at the bottom of the sea, a place where movement was inconvenient. Being with Bai Ruozhi was still the safest. It was too late to carefully examine the dilapidated hull in front of them.
The two of them held hands as they slowly floated towards the surface of the sea. In the middle of the rock, a pair of bright and spirited eyes were moving around, looking everywhere.
Seeing Bai Ruozhi’s astonished expression, Shi Zhongzheng stopped her from asking any further questions. There were too many things bothering him down there.
If his vision wasn’t good enough, he would have to form a protective barrier around his zhenqi, so the water pressure wouldn’t be too great for him. Gao Dazhuang and Mu Zixuan also needed Bai Ruozhi’s care. Once they reached the top, everything became simple.
“Sssii!”
An extremely soft sound was heard, slowly spreading through the water. A faint ripple was like a circle as it rippled out in all directions.
Just as quickly as that.
All the hair on his body stood on end as he bent his body. Shi Zhongzheng felt that something strange was rapidly shooting towards him from behind.
The speed was even faster than a flying star. It was too late to turn around. With a flick of his mind, the Spirit Severing stage appeared at the center of the stone and blocked this attack.
“Clang!”
The sound of metal colliding was extremely soft in the sea water. However, Shi Zhongzheng, who had nowhere to borrow strength from, was still pushed back a few meters. Thankfully, he had Bai Ruozhi by his side and pulled him back in time, preventing him from floating in support.
When he looked back, there was nothing behind him, not even a small fish or shrimp.
Nothing but water. Did he have an illusion? What had just reached the Spirit Severing realm? Shi Zhongzheng was even more careful now. He snuggled up to Bai Ruozhi, and the Flying Star also came closer.
The few of them had their backs to each other, looking around nervously.
Sssii! * Sssii! * “Sssii!”
Several tiny voices came in a rush, and layers of ripples spread out.
F * ck me!
Shi Zhongzheng could not help but curse in his heart. How the f * ck was this a sneak attack? It was clearly a siege? Ripples ran towards him. He could even feel the throbbing in front of him.
Even the usually fast Flying Star didn’t have a move to make. No matter how fast he ran, he couldn’t outrun the inescapable net?
His body was surrounded by invisible patterns of water, and not a single person could be seen.
The always keen Bai Ruozhi had long since formed a ball around them, gathering countless plants.
The thick layer wrapped around them all. It was still soft to the touch.
“Pu, pu!” The sound of sharp blades slicing through aquatic plants sounded especially dull. Within the sea water, the aquatic plants scattered in all directions.
Bai Ruozhi was also sparing no effort to spread the twining aquatic plants, just like a sea belt floating under the water.
“Seemingly Sealed Shut!”
The Spirit Severing expert in Shi Zhongzheng’s hands danced about. Although he felt the pressure of the sea water, one could still see a dark mass of light revolving around him.
“Dang, dang, dang!”
The sound of metal clashing rang in his ears as it struck the blade of his Spirit Severing saber. It shook the arm inside the stone, but the stone didn’t dare to stop.
There were too many unknown enemies. If he suddenly stopped, who knew where he would stab himself?
