Chapter 1554: Chapter 1554: Undersea Showdown
Long Fei dived down with Lin Yingying, the pressure increasing as they descended deeper into the sea.
Ordinary people, after special training, could only descend to about two hundred meters.
When they reached a depth of over a thousand meters, it felt as if two elephants were pressing down on them.
The seawater squeezed their bodies from all sides, causing Long Fei’s skin to tighten, as if he was stepping into a dough-like substance.
A blue light flickered over him, the Azure Dragon Bloodline boiling within, quickly warding off the pressure.
Entering the sea, he not only remained unaffected but gained a sense of transcendence and freedom.
He adjusted his body, naturally adapting to the ocean, refraining from resisting the erosion of the seawater, and instead absorbing nutrients from it to refine his physical form.
The deepest part of the trench reached about ten thousand meters.
This depth was over two thousand meters deeper than Mount Everest.
Below, currents of hot water surged upward, which Long Fei guessed were caused by underwater volcanic eruptions warming the sea beneath.
At this depth, various fish and algae appeared like something out of a fairytale.
Some species of fish and algae were emitting a transparent glow.
Due to the pressure, their bodies became flat, resembling sheets of fabric swimming in the sea.
Long Fei and Lin Yingying had yet to reach the Dragon Palace below when they heard sounds of a battle.
At such ocean depths, normally, sound waves couldn’t travel.
The sounds of fighting spread through the water, signifying the intensity of the battle.
Long Fei assumed that Chu Feng and Zhang Yang were fighting, and propelled forward with Lin Yingying through the water.
As if flying through the air, with a bang, they left a large empty wave pattern in their wake.
Upon reaching the seabed, the area within ten thousand meters was illuminated by the light emanating from the Dragon Palace.
Compared to before, the Dragon Palace seemed to be activated.
The Crystal Barrier radiated a white light, resembling a giant crystal stone.
In front of the palace, a man and a woman were engaged in battle with a group of people.
Chu Feng was swinging the tail of a Winged Dragon wildly in the water, not allied with the others. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Long Fei glanced over, raising his eyebrow slightly.
The man and woman were Shen Feng and Shen Yan’er.
Lin Yingying was also surprised, and curiously said to Long Fei, “Why are they here?”
Long Fei shrugged, watching for a while until he finally made out the features of those fighting against Shen Feng and Shen Yan’er.
Among these people, he recognized three.
One was Ashiya Douman, one of the masterminds of the previous attack by ten Demonizers on Yingzhou Island.
This old fellow was from the same era as Anpei Haruaki and later discovered the Demon Race in overseas adventures.
Last time, Long Fei fought these Demon Kings, killing nine, but Ashiya had escaped.
Unexpectedly, he appeared here today.
Another was Zhang Hengyu, who had seized the body of Kunlun’s prodigy Liuu Yichen for his reincarnation.
Trailing behind him was Jin Yue, carrying his sword sheath.
This scoundrel, reborn nine times, possessed unfathomable cultivation, and it was surprising that he appeared here too.
The Daoist accompanying them was unfamiliar to Long Fei.
Shen Feng valiantly fought against Zhang Hengyu to a standstill.
This trench was connected to the Secret Realm, the Spiritual Energy exposed, allowing cultivation uninhibited by Heaven and Earth Laws.
Shen Feng, after all, a disciple of Mount Shu, brandished his Taiyi Dividing Light Sword, repeatedly slicing through the water, summoning flashes of sword light like a water tornado coiling toward Zhang Hengyu.
The sword light spiraled, intimidatingly swift.
Zhang Hengyu was extraordinary, wielding a fortuitous relic from his sixth life in a Secret Realm—the Southern Zenith Supreme Mystery Sword.
The sword was flawed, yet it was a True Immortal level longsword.
With a stabbing motion, it unleashed a massive Sword Aura, clashing with the spinning Sword Qi Barrier with a boom.
A loud crash echoed as the spinning Sword Qi Barrier shattered into fragments.
The vast Sword Aura surged forward, causing the seawater to churn violently, pushing Shen Feng swiftly backward.
Long Fei raised his eyebrow, not expecting Zhang Hengyu’s Nascent Soul to merge with this body to such an extent.
The immense force just now would, in the past, surely have torn Zhang Hengyu’s Primordial Spirit and body apart.
On one side, Shen Yan’er was entangled with Ashiya Douman.
This Dongying mystic, wielding a three-foot-long white bone spike reminiscent of a Mourning Stick, clashed repeatedly with Shen Yan’er’s South Ming Li Fire Sword.
Although the South Ming Li Fire Sword was formidable, it was at a disadvantage underwater.
Water naturally counters fire, and although the South Ming Li Fire is no ordinary flame, it was heavily suppressed by the surrounding Water Elemental Force, unable to exert its due power.
Ashiya Douman’s Mourning Stick was insidiously peculiar, each swing accompanied by a water ripple wave.
This Mourning Stick was capable of stirring the Water Elemental Force.
Whenever the two magical weapons clashed, the immense force of the Mourning Stick forced Shen Yan’er to retreat rapidly.
Ashiya Douman, extremely sinister, raised his hand, then summoned a leather drum.
The object, formerly used when battling last time, was the Kui Ox Drum.
This artifact was of the Demon Race, crafted from the hide of an ancient Kui Ox.
Once activated, the drumming resounded, capturing hearts and minds.
Even in the ocean, the water could conduct sound.
Sound waves emanated, jolting Shen Yan’er as a dizzying sensation hit her.
Ashiya Douman gave a sinister smile, “Little girl, prepare to die!”
His Mourning Stick swung down, striking toward Shen Yan’er’s head.
Shen Yan’er’s face lost color, without even having time to lift her sword; the sound of an explosion cracked next to her ear, and her slender waist was swept up by someone retreating backward.
She looked over in fright, and the one who came to her rescue was none other than Long Fei.
The two exchanged bewildered glances, momentarily at a loss for words.
Shen Yan’er silently cursed her luck, wondering why every encounter with Long Fei was during life-threatening situations.
This guy had saved her life in Guandong as well.
It had taken her a long time not to think of him, and now this guy had reopened her heart.
She couldn’t help but cry, her eyes reddening as she exclaimed, “Why is it you again?”
Long Fei laughed, “I was just about to ask you the same!”
He handed Shen Yan’er over to Lin Yingying behind him for care.
Lin Yingying pursed her lips, thinking to herself that she would probably have another rival in love now.
Rescuing Shen Yan’er two or three times, even a woman with an iron heart would be melted by Long Fei.
Ashiya Douman had just managed to steady himself, and upon seeing Long Fei, he exclaimed, “Damn, it’s you again, bastard. We didn’t settle our score last time, and still you dare to show your face!”
Long Fei, holding the Black Iron Staff, gave him a cold smile, “Old devil, our account needs to be settled indeed. I didn’t kill you last time, you slipped away, but this time, you won’t be so lucky!”
His body was like a dragon, flashing through the water to Ashiya Douman’s front.
The Black Iron Staff swung, though a staff, he employed the Army Shattering Style from the Xiaoxiang Nine Swords.
Ashiya Douman saw the ominous approach and hurriedly raised his Mourning Stick to defend.
The two magical weapons clashed, the Black Iron Staff fiercely striking the Mourning Stick.
With a shockwave, the force rippled.
The Mourning Stick, being quite resilient, wasn’t broken by the force, but Ashiya Douman’s palm was painfully shocked, exploding with a burst of blood in the water.
Ashiya Douman cried out in pain, switching hands to grip the Mourning Stick, immediately summoning the Kui Ox Drum to resound before him, raising soundwave barriers to block Long Fei.
He retreated rapidly, hiding among a group of Daoists, urgently shouting, “That’s Long Fei—he’s here! Kill him quickly. As long as he’s here, we’ll never get the opportunity from this place.”
