The Great Wild God - Chapter 333
Chapter 333 Guitou Reef
Chen Xun disguised himself as a True Yang Realm rogue cultivator, so he couldn’t fly into the air like a Reincarnation Realm cultivator and overlook the Ghost Head Reef. However, he secretly caught a seabird and refined it into his Soul Essence, replacing his eyes and looking down at the vast sea surface from high up in the sky.
The Guitou Reef was a group of islands that covered a radius of a thousand kilometers. It looked like a ghost lying in the sea. The largest reef island, about two to three hundred kilometers in radius, looks like a skeleton ghost head. The island is covered in black bushes, and the reefs in the shallow water are rugged and dangerous, and the waves are turbulent …
The seawater outside the reef island was as blue as jade, while the seawater inside the reef island group was dark. The depths of the reef island were filled with dark winds that blew through the reef island group. The sea breeze seemed to become viscous and heavy. Some birds accidentally intruded into the depths of the reef island and quickly fell down powerlessly with their wings stunned.
Countless bird corpses piled up on the reef island. The rotting flesh and blood caused the murderous aura of the dark winds to become even more fierce.
Chen Xun hadn’t expected that this Reef Island Prefecture was actually a demonic array that could naturally gather Yin Fiend Poison Miasma.
Those Reincarnation Realm cultivators who had soared into the sky to observe the island felt a chill on their backs. They knew that the pirates that could survive on the island were mostly evil cultivators who cultivated the Yin Fiend Poison Miasma.
In other places, they might not fear these evil cultivators, but in the vicinity of the reef island, they would be at a disadvantage if they were to occupy the place at the right time.
In the sea west of the Reef Island Group, the winds and waves were fierce and the water potential was extremely fierce. Large, dark whirlwinds and lightning carried along with them easily swept hundreds of feet of water dragons. Three ships could only pass through the relatively calm sea to the east of the Reef Island Group.
Seeing that there was no movement on the reef island, everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the pirates would have gone out to attack other ships long ago and missed their wave.
The seabird Chen Xun controlled flew three to four thousand meters high in the cold wind, and its view was much farther than that of other Reincarnation Realm cultivators who had flown over a hundred meters in the air.
Two hundred miles ahead, hundreds of pirates were quietly standing on the backs of several huge sea beasts, waiting for three ships to head over along the path they had to take.
Chen Xun controlled the island slightly lower.
There were several sea beasts lying still in the seawater. Each of them was more than twenty zhang long, and their backs were flat, like boards floating on the surface of the sea. Their surroundings were full of pitch black thorns. They were like spears made of fine iron stabbed into the side of their backs. Their mouths were flat and wide, and their snowy teeth flickered with cold light in the azure seawater. Eight slender feet slowly drew water …
The pirates standing on the back of the sea beast were all bare-chested, their muscles bulging like iron lumps were densely packed with strange demonic runes. They were like the profound talismans engraved on magical artifacts, faintly affecting the mysterious power between heaven and earth.
After Chi Hai cultivated to a certain level, he could use the demon body as a life-saving magic treasure to cultivate. His bone wings and sharp claws produced dark golden demon patterns, allowing him to borrow the power of heaven and earth.
Not only could the demons like Chi Hai be like this, many demonic beasts in Cloud Continent who were used to using their tyrannical demonic bodies to fight against their enemies would cultivate the strongest parts of their demonic bodies into Life Treasures after reaching a certain cultivation realm. However, it was clear that the demonic runes on these pirates’ bodies were tattooed on them.
Chen Xun had heard from Grandpa Zongtu that there were quite a few barbarian martial artists from the Wilderness Tribes in the depths of the Western Wilderness who could carve barbarian markings on their bodies, but they actually used their own bodies as talismans and magical artifacts to refine them.
This method could greatly increase the combat strength of the barbarian martial arts in the shortest time possible, but this method of forcibly gathering the power of heaven and earth by tattooing barbarian markings on the flesh had extremely serious drawbacks.
Man Wen seemed to be able to greatly strengthen Man Wu’s fleshly body in a short period of time, but the depths of the Hundred Bones Aperture Veins were constantly destroyed by the violent power of heaven and earth. Normally, after the age of thirty, the fleshly body would collapse and die in pain.
Chen Xun saw that the chests and backs of these pirates were densely packed with demonic runes. They emitted extremely heavy baleful auras. Almost all of them were at the peak of the True Yang Realm and above. He frowned slightly. It was really not an easy task for Sea Pavilion to forcefully charge through with three seagoing ships …
Amongst these pirates, more than a dozen were the strongest. They were all wearing profound armor to protect themselves, but they were all extremely fierce, revealing half of their arms. The magic patterns on their bodies were even more dense, and almost all of them were comparable to peak Reincarnation Realm experts.
Behind these pirates was a sturdy figure wearing a vermillion-colored daoist robe. He emitted an extremely strong aura and was actually a late Heaven Origin Realm cultivator.
The seabird Chen Xun controlled flew slightly lower, attracting the attention of the Vermillion-robed Cultivator. He raised his head and a scarlet light shot towards him.
In order to conceal his identity, Chen Xun scattered the soul essence within the seabird’s body, allowing the red light to smash the seabird into a ball of rotten meat and fall from the sky.
The Vermillion-robed Cultivator waved his long sleeve and a suction force swept over the three-or four-foot-long bird corpse like a whirlwind. Seeing that the bird corpse wasn’t abnormal, he couldn’t see the appearance of possessing a soul. He couldn’t figure out where the feeling of being spied on just now came from. He frowned and muttered to himself, “It’s really strange. Could it be that this dumb bird is giving birth to spirituality?”
The Vermillion-robed Cultivator was rather regretful. It would be a pity if this dumb bird gave birth to spirituality.
“Master Shi Long, what did you find?” A pirate wearing a sea beast leather armor with a red horsetail beard flew over and asked when he saw the Vermillion-robed cultivator holding a ball of seabird’s rotten meat and frowning.
“Nothing. This sovereign just doesn’t like this bird.” The red-robed cultivator threw the seabird into the sea.
“If Senior Stone Dragon has any objections, I can lead my son to follow you to Ji Yue Island and kill you.”
The Zhu-robed cultivator frowned and said, “This sovereign is here to help you kill Zhu Liangyong, and Zhao Hongling is here to avenge my disciple’s tragic death.” Apart from that, it has nothing to do with you. Kill Ji Yue Island. Red Beard, you don’t need to die. Don’t pull me over. “The Crimson Star Trio cultivated in seclusion, but if those Origin Pill Taoist bumped into any one of them, could your Red Beard subordinates fill in the gaps between their teeth?”
“I heard that the White Water Ocean’s Immortal Ruins are exposed to the sea again. The Crimson Star Trio said that they were cultivating in seclusion. Perhaps they would go to the White Water Ocean to discover the Immortal Ruins under the pretext of seclusion.” The red-bearded pirate smiled. “We can’t get a piece of the fat meat from the White Water Ocean. We can only think of a way to get a piece of it from Ji Yue Island.”
******************
“There’s no way to fight this battle!” Old Kui’s origin soul cultivation was much stronger than Chen Xun’s. He didn’t need to control the puppet seabird to know all the movements within a radius of two to three hundred kilometers. He hid in the Void Origin Pearl and communicated with Chen Xun through his spiritual will.
Chen Xun looked at the people of the Guihai Pavilion who were standing beside him. He knew that if he wanted to continue hiding his identity, the Guihai Pavilion and the many accompanying maritime merchants’ guards would find it difficult to resist the pirates’ onslaught.
Among the three ships, there were 30 Reincarnation Realm cultivators, but there were only five late Reincarnation Realm cultivators, and more than 20 others only had early Reincarnation Realm cultivators.
Zhu Liangyong’s cultivation hadn’t fully recovered, and his strength was only comparable to that of a late Reincarnation Realm cultivator.
None of them were necessarily a match for the Vermillion-robed Cultivator and the Red-bearded Pirate Leader.
Although the three ships had twelve small defensive formations, the number of sea beasts that the pirates were controlling could not be underestimated. Several sea beasts pounced from the side. How long could the twelve small defensive formations withstand?
Chen Xun stroked his chin, his mind spinning extremely fast.
Chen Xun had traveled on a sea ship for five months. He had enjoyed getting along with everyone in Sea Pavilion. If he didn’t do anything, Chen Xun wouldn’t be able to bear to see hundreds of people die on the Ghost Head Reef in Sea Pavilion. However, what could he do to help Zhu Liangyong and the others repel the pirates without revealing his identity?
Very quickly, Zhu Liangyong and the others also noticed the abnormality in the sea area in front of them, wanting to change their course and bypass it from the outside.
The pirates’ reaction was even sharper. Soon, there were several sea beasts left, and they broke through the waves and attacked.
A rainbow silhouette was extremely swift. It was like a streak of stars approaching. It stopped a thousand feet away. The cultivator in a red robe stood on a dark cloud. He took out a crescent-shaped spade-shaped magical artifact and glittered with blood. He viciously stared at the three ships. He waited for the pirates to surround them from both sides before launching an attack.
Seeing the Zhu-robed cultivator, Zhu Liangyong’s expression changed drastically. He grabbed onto the side of the ship and shouted loudly, “Master Shi Long, you are also famous in Yangquan. Today, you are actually in the company of evil bandits. Aren’t you afraid that the Dragon Gate Sect will take your head?”
“Kill all of you. Isn’t there no news left?” The red-bearded man’s figure was slightly slower, but he quickly flew to the side of the Vermillion-cloak Cultivator. He actually held a huge stone axe in his hand, as if he had already taken the three seagoing ships into his possession.
“I will only avenge my disciple who died tragically. Zhu Liangyong, Zhao Hongling, if you slice your necks and kill yourselves, I will not participate in today’s grudge between Sea Pavilion and Red Beard.” The cultivator in the red robe spoke with a gloomy tone. Although he was a thousand feet away, his voice came from afar. Everyone felt an indescribable chill in their hearts.
Red Beard smiled and said, “I’m only here for the ship’s goods. If you leave the ship and the goods behind, then I won’t participate in the enmity between the ship and Master Shi Long.”
“Zhu Yuelian was instigated by Fan Ziya to assassinate my wife. You deserve to die. Master Shi Long, you are also a promising cultivator. Do you even need someone to teach you this?” Zhu Liangyong shouted in a deep voice.
Although the pirates like Redbeard were difficult to deal with, they still had the strength to fight. However, he never expected that Master Stone Dragon would be waiting for them on Ghost Head Reef. His expression was uncertain, and he was even more worried that Master Stone Dragon might not be able to avenge his disciples so easily.
“Cut the crap. If you can’t leave your belongings behind, cut your necks and speak with the magical artifact in your hands.” Red Beard waved the stone axe in his hand and saw an extremely simple stone axe-shaped phantom. In an instant, black light flickered, and the phantom of the stone axe soared to twenty to thirty feet in size, hacking towards the bow of the ship.
The seagoing ship array was activated in time, and the surrounding seawater surged. Dozens of mist columns that emitted cold air rose from the seawater. In an instant, a mist shield gathered at the bow of the ship to block the incoming stone axe phantom.
With a loud boom, the mist shield was shattered, turning into countless pieces of ice that fell into the sea. However, the stone axe phantom did not completely disappear, and even became even more solid. It turned into a giant black axe and continued to pierce towards the bow of the ship.
The four Law Enforcement Elders of the Sea Returning Pavilion beside Zhu Liangyong took out their magical artifacts together, then they worked together to dissipate the black light axe. At this moment, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi violently fluctuated.
This attack tested the strength of both sides. The four law enforcement elders in Sea Pavilion all had Late Reincarnation Realm cultivations, and their faces were pale. It was obvious that they had just forcefully withstood the attack of the Red-bearded man’s stone axe. It was definitely not a good feeling.
Although there were 12 defensive formations on the three ships, the fog shield had been condensed a hundred times. After that, it would take three to five days to recover the exhausted spiritual energy.
Seeing the hundreds of pirates gathered on the backs of the two sea beasts and the four empty sea beasts approaching the three ships from the left and right, everyone’s expressions turned ugly.
Such a huge sea beast was actually no smaller than a ship. When swimming at extreme speeds, the turbulent waves rose like stone cliffs. This kind of sea beast was no weaker than Red Beard’s attack with his axe just now. How many times could three ships block it?
