Ye Xiaoyao, who was fleeing underwater, used a water escape divine ability, travelling even faster underwater than he did flying in the sky on his sword.

“Old Jian, are you sure you want me to kill this thing?” Ye Xiaoyao said in his mind.

“How many times have I told you? Call me Heavenly Sword Immortal Emperor.”

“Okay, Old Jian.’

“The main bone of this Devouring Gold Swordfish is a treasure. The main bone at its center is quite literally a natural sword. Slight refining can turn it into a first-rate Treasure Artifact.

“Most importantly, this flying sword comes with a devouring trait. It can evolve on its own. If nurtured well, even after you ascend to the Great Thousand World, it will be an invaluable magical treasure.”

“I understand what you’re saying, but the situation right now is that I’m being chased and can’t defeat it.” Ye Xiaoyao was speechless. The item was good, but one needed to be alive to make use of it.

“This Immortal Emperor has a comprehensive plan, of course. 500 li ahead of you, you will find your good brothers.”

“When the time comes, directly use your last resort to kill that swordfish and wait for your brothers’ rescue.”

“Little Fan? No, no, he’s only at the Qi Cultivation stage. If something unexpected happens, it could harm him.”

Ye Xiaohao turned around and fought off the Devouring Gold Swordfish once more before fleeing again.

“Do not underestimate your brother. This Immortal Emperor has always had a sharp eye for people.”

“If you can acquire the core spinal bone from the Devouring Gold Swordfish and follow my method, it can be evolved into a Dao Tool in just 50 years.” Ye Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and quickly escaped the direction of Xu Fan.

The moment to test our brotherhood has come.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan was strolling leisurely along the bottom of the sea, having found quite a few treasures.

Holding a pearl the size of a billiard ball in his hand, Xu Fan said excitedly, “A pearl nurtured by a ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea giant clam. It would be nice to collect a few more and make a storage spirit bracelet.”

“And that Linglong Pearl can become the spiritual energy core of my Type Ill Spiritual Combat Armor.”

Xu Fan, who was thinking about how to refine the magical treasures, suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

“What the hell, I have a bad feeling. Danger is approaching!”

Xu Fan, sensing that danger, was planning to return to the city when suddenly there was a tremendous surge of spiritual power from the distance.

Dark undercurrents came surging from the seafloor one after another. The enormous turbulence nearly caused Xu Fan to lose control of his submarine.

Not far from the submarine, an extremely weak presence was fleeing towards Xu Fan.

“Little Fan, save me!”

Upon hearing Ye Xiaoyao’s voice, Xu Fan realized why he had sensed danger.

Damn it, he keeps popping up everywhere.

However, Xu Fan never thinks about not rescuing someone, as a joke, the consequence of not helping the protagonist in danger would be severe.

The submarine opened a side door and swallowed Ye Xiaoyao.

At this point, Ye Xiaoyao was barely holding on and weakly said to Xu Fan, “Little Fan, that swordfish outside is already in a semi-crippled state.”

“Its combat power is reduced to less than one percent, I beg you to help me kill it. I need its main bone, and I will reward you heavily once it’s done.”

After saying this, Ye Xiaoyao fainted.

“Damn it, I didn’t agree to this.” Xu Fan, looking troubled, looked at Ye Xiaoyao, then at the Devouring Gold Swordfish lurking outside.

Xu Fan looked at Ye Xiaoyao, then glanced at the Devouring Gold Swordfish. He was not interested in the heavy reward Ye Xiaoyao mentioned, but he knew that usually, those who oppose or do not agree to the protagonist’s requests often face bad consequences.

The Devouring Gold Swordfish outside was covered in wounds, half of its body had been blasted to pieces by Ye Xiaoyao’s final ‘big move’.

“It’s not impossible to hit it, let’s just consider this risking it all for the sake of my future peaceful life.”

Xu Fan pulled out a mask and put it on his face. In an instant, black spirit power armor appeared on Xu Fan.

As soon as he stepped out of the submarine, Xu Fan immediately summoned countless ice spears and shot them at the Devouring Gold Swordfish. At the same time, he transformed into a water shield and quickly swam around the bottom of the sea, not allowing the Devouring Gold Swordfish to catch his figure.

Even with only one percent of its combat power left, the Devouring Gold Swordfish was not something a cultivator in the Qi Cultivation stage could mess with.

At that moment, the Devouring Gold Swordfish disappeared.

‘Flowing Water Shield’ ‘Profound Ice Shield’ ‘Heavy Water Shield’

In the instant the Devouring Gold Swordfish disappeared, Xu Fan bestowed three layers of shields upon himself.

‘Boom!’

With a muffled sound, Xu Fan, who was shielded by only the last layer now, was knocked off.

Mid-air, Xu Fan was in great pain. His Puppet Army didn’t have many Water Faction units, which were not suitable for underwater combat.

Six silver metallic spheres appeared in Xu Fan’s hand, which he threw directly, causing the silver spheres to deform.

Six water attribute quick-silver snakes appeared in front of Xu Fan, afterwards Xu Fan swiftly formed hand gestures. Three of Xu Fan’s light shadow clones appeared beside him, all carrying the same aura as Xu Fan.

“Now, it’s time for me to set the stage,” Xu Fan snapped his fingers, causing the Devouring Gold Swordfish, lurking not far from Xu Fan, to suddenly glow illuminating the surrounding area.

This is the Spirit Light Rune Xu Fan branded onto the Swordfish during their clash.

“You think you can heal yourself? Dream on.”

As he said this, Xu Fan ordered the six Foundation Establishment level quick-silver snakes to charge towards the Devouring Gold Swordfish.

At this time, 36 transparent spiritual needles, thinner than hair, appeared around Xu Fan, following behind the quick-silver snakes, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Xu Fan formed a seal with his hands, causing the Spiritual Power Armor he was wearing to begin radiating light, indicating that he was drawing upon the spiritual power in the armor.

The six quick-silver snakes started a fierce battle with the Devouring Gold Swordfish as soon as they encountered it.

In just a moment, three quick-silver snakes were destroyed, and the spiritual needles that were laying in wait on the side, were unable to find an opportunity to strike.

‘Ice Blade Storm Skill’

Instantly, an encircling wall composed of ice blades surrounded the Devouring Gold Swordfish that was immersed in battle, like a fish in an old-fashioned washing machine barrel.

The ice blades slowly began to spin and shrink, starting to squeeze the battle space of the Devouring Gold Swordfish.

At this moment, the Devouring Gold Swordfish sensed danger. It hadn’t expected this small fish, which would usually only serve as its food, to be so capable.

‘Boom!’

The Devouring Gold Swordfish knocked into the rapidly rotating ice blade wall and rebounded after breaking through three layers of the Ice Blade Storm wall.

While the Devouring Gold Swordfish was panicking, the spiritual needles that had waited for a long time took the opportunity, instantly moved, and directly blinded the Devouring Gold Swordfish’s eyes.

Within the submarine, the old grandpa inside Ye Xiaoyao was watching the fight, secretly amazed.

“Such high combat talent, much stronger than this foolish boy is. If not for only being in the Qi Cultivation stage, he would have already eliminated the Devouring Gold Swordfish,” he remarked.

After the Devouring Gold Swordfish’s eyes were blinded, its body shuddered and it soon lost its life essence.

“Ah, my poor quick-silver snakes, they were almost all wiped out this time.”

“This fight cost at least 80 ,ooo Spirit Stones,” Xu Fan said, canceling the Ice Blade Storm, collecting the Devouring Gold Swordfish into his Storage Bag, and returning to the submarine- Ye Xiaoyao was still unconscious.

A wound-healing elixir and a Life-Cultivating Pill were force-fed into Ye Xiaoyao’s mouth.

Under the effect of the elixirs, Ye Xiaoyao slowly regained consciousness in no time, looking at Xu Fan with gratitude in his eyes.

A cup of Spirit Fruit Juice was handed over to Ye Xiaoyao.

“Your spiritual power is somewhat depleted, drinking this should make you feel better,” Xu Fan said.

“Thank you, Little Fan, did you kill that Devouring Gold Swordfish?”

“I shouldn’t have let you go trying to kill that Gold Devouring Swordfish before passing out.”

A Storage Bag appeared in front of Ye Xiaoyao.

“The Devouring Gold Swordfish is inside,” Xu Fan said..
