229: Snatching the Pearl
Sea City Ruins, on a broken bridge somewhere.
Two soldiers in military uniforms were surrounded by several sea beasts.
Both soldiers were not weak. They had reached the Silver High Stage and had extremely rich combat experience.
However, among the several Silver Stage Sea Beasts encircling them, one of them was a Four Pillars Sea Beast, a Master Star Beast specializing in strength and defense.
The attacks of the two soldiers landed on the back of the Four Pillars Sea Beast, but they couldn’t break through its defense at all.
The Four Pillars Sea Beast, fending off their attacks, aggressively approached, not only injuring one of the soldiers but also forcing both into a corner.
Seeing the situation getting worse, the injured soldier shouted: “Brother, you’re stronger. If you can find a way to escape, go by yourself!”
“No way, our Squad 708 has never abandoned a teammate.” The other soldier, slightly older and burly, resolutely refused.
The injured soldier pressed down his injuries and clenched his teeth: “Alright, since it’s like this, I have a burst skill. Brother, help me buy some time!”
“Okay!” The burly soldier responded in a deep voice, fully powering up his Star Power and charging forward.
But just then, the void in front of them slightly twisted, and suddenly a giant silver hand appeared above the sea beasts’ heads, slamming down fiercely!
“Bzzz!…”
The space quivered, and the air waves exploded!
Except for the Four Pillars Sea Beast, the other sea beasts were instantly turned into blood mist under the giant palm!
Although the Four Pillars Sea Beast wasn’t crushed to death, its body was covered in large cracks, constantly oozing blood, and severely injured, unable to get up for a while.
After the slap, the silver hand disappeared back into the void.
“Someone’s helping!”
The injured soldier was surprised and delighted, scanning the surroundings but not seeing anyone.
“Up there,” the burly soldier reminded.
Both looked up, seeing a young figure in a black robe swiftly moving forward in mid-air.
“Must be an academy student, really impressive,” the injured soldier marveled.
“Such a strong casual strike, must be a top genius of the academy,” the burly soldier also admired, then looked at the heavily injured Four Pillars Sea Beast ahead, “Is your skill ready? Let’s first solve this Master Sea Beast!”
“It’s ready… Storm Water Dragon Break!”
…
In mid-air, Su Yuan retracted his gaze at the scene below.
“These two should be fine.”
Along the way, Su Yuan saw many scattered sea beasts or human soldiers. He also saw several students, all of whom were at the Gold Level, likely responding to the army gathering from other islands.
But Su Yuan didn’t intend to clear these sea beasts. It was only because the two soldiers were in grave danger that he helped with the Void Splitting Monument Hand.
The main goal now was to stop the revival of the Demon King. These sea beasts didn’t matter anymore.
The revival of the Demon King would certainly require a lot of energy, so Su Yuan headed in the direction with a higher energy density sensed.
For others, it might be difficult, but Su Yuan, relying on his Master Level breathing technique, locked onto a direction after searching for a while.
At this moment, in the distance where Su Yuan’s gaze fell, he could see a grand and ancient mysterious altar.
The strong energy was emanating from it.
Besides, Su Yuan could also vaguely sense Star Power fluctuations and the sounds of battle from somewhere ahead.
“Looks like someone got there first.”
Su Yuan’s heartbeat quickened, and he immediately sped up. Soon, he saw some soldiers and groups of sea beasts fighting at a distance from the altar.
On the army’s side, there were three Gold Level warriors and over thirty Silver Warriors, likely gathered together after entering the Secret Realm.
On the sea beasts’ side, there were two Gold Level beasts, but more than fifty Silver Stage sea beasts.
The overall strength of both sides was about equal, leading to a stalemate.
Besides, there were even stronger Star Power fluctuations coming from the altar, indicating the presence of other sea beasts.
“It seems that the sea beasts found the altar first, and the soldiers arrived later, trying to interfere but being blocked by some sea beasts.”
Su Yuan analyzed and understood the situation below.
After a little thought, Su Yuan didn’t show up to help but instead concealed his aura and quietly approached the direction of the altar.
This mission’s main goal was to stop the South Sea Sea Beasts from reviving the Demon King, so the sea beasts’ actions at the altar were more important.
Soon, Su Yuan arrived at a bell tower outside the altar and focused his gaze on the altar.
At the center of the altar was a black stone inscribed with numerous complex runes, emanating strong energy fluctuations.
Around the black stone, two groups of Star Beasts were fiercely fighting!
One group was the sea beasts that had entered the Secret Realm, numbering over sixty, including four Gold Level sea beasts.
The other group was a bunch of Naga Sea Demons, with three of them being Gold Level. Among them was a Six-Armed Naga at the Gold Middle Stage, holding six sharp long sabers, agile and powerful in saber skills, fighting alone against two Gold Level sea beasts and several Silver Stage sea beasts, even suppressing the two Gold Level sea beasts, showing incredible combat power!
