Chapter 539: Chapter 215: Break Through the Encirclement!
âExplode!â
Under the water, the currents were turbulent. Luo Cheng, carrying Jin Yuxi, performed the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique, piercing through the water with full force. The extreme speed tore open a vacuum fissure in the water!
âLuo Cheng, theyâre catching up!â
Jin Yuxi exclaimed in alarm.
Most of the giant-toothed flying fish were drawn away by Mu Qinglian. Still, dozens to nearly a hundred giant-toothed flying fish pursued Luo Cheng and Yuxi relentlessly.
Hiss hiss hiss hissâŠ
Before they even got close, these giant-toothed flying fish suddenly opened their mouths wide, spraying out arrows of water imbued with eerie Demon Qi.
These water arrows possessed the power of a thousand catties, causing the water to explode wherever they struck, creating alarming miniature whirlpools!
The strength of a Four-star Demon Beast was comparable to that of an Awakening Vein Realm strongman, also mastering the technique of releasing Demon Qi from their bodies!
Top-tier Four-star Demon Beasts could even alter the weather within a certain range, summoning winds and rain!
âStar Sinking!â
Luo Chengâs eyes gleamed sharply as he swung his sword, the brilliant Sword Qi pulverizing the incoming Demon Energy Water Arrows, sending the nearby giant-toothed flying fish into a dizzy disarray!
Swoosh! SwooshâŠ
A few giant-toothed flying fish broke through the turbulent currents, charging forward. Their ghostly pale eyes locked firmly on Luo Cheng and Yuxi, brimming with murderous intent.
âKill!â
For Luo Cheng, a few giant-toothed flying fish didnât constitute much of a threat. The terrifying part was being surrounded by the demon fish school.
Luo Cheng immediately surged his Essence Energy, repeatedly swinging the Thunder Hidden Sword.
âGolden Flow Suppression!â
Jin Yuxi also targeted a giant-toothed flying fish, fiercely swinging her leg.
Boom boom boomâŠ
Blades of sword light shone like heavenly flowers blooming. The water weakened the Sword Qiâs power, and coupled with Luo Chengâs injuries, the Sword Qi could only heavily wound the giant-toothed flying fish, unable to kill in one strike!
The golden stream of light kicked out by Jin Yuxi seemed towering at over ten meters, its might astonishing, yet its attack was almost negligible, barely pushing the giant-toothed flying fish back, without wounding them in the slightest.
At this moment, a large group of giant-toothed flying fish burst out from the chaotic currents.
Luo Cheng furrowed his brows deeply. He sensed a continuous wave of giant-toothed flying fish approaching and immediately said:
âWe canât get entangled any longer! Otherwise, it will be even harder to escape. Yuxi, letâs surface with all our might! You go ahead; Iâll cover the rear!!â
After a prolonged execution of the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique and the intense fight, Luo Chengâs Essence Energy was consumed by eighty to ninety percent. If besieged by the giant-toothed flying fish, the consequences would be unimaginable!
If Mu Qinglian gets free, their chances of survival would plunge to zero!
âAlright!â
Although worried about Luo Cheng, Jin Yuxi knew the situation was dire and spoke no more, kicking out a mighty golden light to repel the few giant-toothed flying fish ahead, and ascended with all her strength.
âExterminate them for me!â
At this crucial moment, Luo Cheng held nothing back. A terrifying sharpness carrying a killing intent erupted, shattering the surrounding river water into pieces!
âDivine Wind Absolute Kill!â
With a single sword strike, a violent Sword Qi Tornado shot forth, spiraling straight through, causing a massive vortex, continuously shredding the approaching giant-toothed flying fish.
Amid the incessant hissing, a spray of blood mist blossomed in the water!
Jin Yuxi happened to glance back at this moment, her eyes widening.
Throughout the journey, her heart had never found peace.
Luo Chengâs power seemed limitless, breaking her understanding time and again!
Even after such prolonged combat, he could unleash such a powerful killing strike!
She sensed that each Sword Qi in the Sword Qi Tornado could easily annihilate her!
But Luo Chengâs expression was grave.
With this single strike, his Essence Energy within him depleted by another large chunk; he estimated he could not hold out much longer before his Essence Energy was entirely exhausted!
Before that happened, he had to break through the encirclement and leave Luoyan River!
âGo!â
Without any hesitation, Luo Cheng turned and surged upwards.
The two had only ascended several hundred meters when another large swarm of giant-toothed flying fish pursued.
âDivine Wind Absolute Kill!â
âGolden Flow Hidden Break!â
âFive Mountains Condensing Cauldron!â
Luo Cheng and Jin Yuxi, disregarding their injuries, simultaneously executed their most fearsome strikes while rapidly ascending, hurling them backward.
Rumble!
Underwater, it was as if thunder roared, exploding wildly, annihilating most of the giant-toothed flying fish, but also shaking them unstable, their vitality fluctuating.
âHere they come again!â
Just after annihilating a group of giant-toothed flying fish, Jin Yuxi was horrified to find another large swarm chasing, giant mouths shooting a vast spray of Demon Energy Water Arrows!
âIgnore them! We must break through with all our might! Once we escape to the surface, they should be unable to do anything to us!â
Luo Cheng felt all nine of his Essence Energy Mansions on the verge of exhaustion, not daring to delay, his fist smashing most water arrows, pulling Jin Yuxi by her delicate waist, executing the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique with full force.
Boom! Boom! BoomâŠ
The explosion of water currents dramatically boosted their speed, like two streaks of black lightning racing upward.
A thousand meters!
Five hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
Luo Cheng could already see the sunlight filtering down through the river surface!
At that moment, dozens of giant-toothed flying fish closed in, their broad fins on either side of their bodies flapping intensely, like meteors, chasing closely behind.
Swoosh swoosh swooshâŠ
Some giant-toothed flying fish opened their mouths to unleash Demon Energy Water Arrows.
âWe must hold out!â
Luo Cheng knew that stopping to counterattack would only accelerate the consumption of his Essence Energy, becoming even more dangerous, so he ignored them and kept racing.
RumbleâŠ
Demon Energy Water Arrows continuously bombarded their Protective Essence Energy.
Pff!
Jin Yuxi spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
Luo Chengâs lips also kept bleeding, with cracks spreading across his Protective Essence Energy, ready to shatter anytime. Both his Essence Energy and body were reaching their limits.
âJust hold on a bit longer!â
With tremendous spiritual willpower, Luo Cheng forced himself to stay conscious, mobilizing the last of his Essence Energy to maintain the highest speed.
The giant-toothed flying fish school drew nearer and nearer.
A hundred meters!
Fifty meters!
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters!
Row after row of giant-toothed flying fish opened their bloody maws, ready to devour them.
âThis is the decisive moment! Explode!!!â
Determined, Luo Cheng gathered his last Essence Energy, once again using the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique.
Boom!
The water exploded as their figures shot upwards.
The trailing giant-toothed flying fish closed in, ripping their bodies into shreds.
Yet, the image they tore disintegrated in an instant; it was just Luo Chengâs decoy clone, split with Mist Shadow Step at the last moment!
The next moment.
With a splash, Luo Cheng emerged from the river, holding Jin Yuxi.
They were out!
Feeling the warmth of the morning sun, Luo Cheng was overjoyed.
Hiss hiss hiss hissâŠ
The giant-toothed flying fish, however, refused to give up, flapping their fins and surging from the water, determined to swallow them whole.
However, while they could fly briefly with Demon Qi, their speed was far inferior to when in water. Luo Cheng easily pulled kilometers ahead with a single flash, leaving them to fall back into the river, impotently raging, spewing out Demon Energy Water Arrows.
Luo Cheng retreated to a safe distance and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
âFinally safe!â
Luo Cheng felt this night had been longer than any day.
Checking his internal condition, Luo Cheng couldnât help but feel a sense of surviving a calamity.
At this moment, the nine Essence Energy Mansions within him and all fifty-four Xuan Veins were completely empty!
The impacts from blocking the water arrows had also caused serious internal injuries, and he dreaded what might have happened had they delayed any further!
But now wasnât the time to relax.
With his Essence Energy exhausted and injured, even a random Awakening Vein Realm practitioner, let alone Mu Qinglian, could pose a threat to him!
Taking out a few Spirit Pills to recover Essence Energy, Luo Cheng cast a cold glance at the Luoyan River below, then whisked away into the distance with Jin Yuxi in tow.
