Tyrant Sky Martial Soul
Chapter 2428 - 2431: Peculiar Sea Race: Water Elder
"If you want to live, tell me why the Demon Sea Domain is so dangerous?"
Ling Xiao asked Sha Ying.
"You don’t need to ask him, I can answer that for you.
The Demon Sea Domain is different from the cultivation route; the seawater there has a terrifying suction, and ordinary people simply cannot survive.
Standing on it, it’s easy to be pulled directly into the seawater.
That’s why it’s so terrifying."
Heiye Changfeng answered directly when he heard Ling Xiao’s question.
"Just because of that?"
Ling Xiao asked in surprise.
"Of course, the danger of the Demon Sea Domain is not just that. Let him go, and I’ll tell you all about it. If you kill him, you might alert the Water Elder."
Heiye Changfeng reminded.
"That’s right, you kid dare not kill me. If you kill me, the Water Elder will surely awaken, and he is a terrifying existence no less than a Grand Elder, unless you want to die!"
Sha Ying suddenly became fearless.
"You coward hiding behind someone’s power, I asked you a question and you answered none, damn it!"
Ling Xiao didn’t waste words. With someone like Sha Ying about to kill him, why be polite?
Keep him around to come back and kill him later?
Is that fun?
He smashed Sha Ying’s head with one claw, then instantly returned to the cultivation route.
From that terrifying whirlpool flew out an old man with white hair at least ten meters long.
"Water Elder!"
Heiye Changfeng was startled.
Ling Xiao, this guy, is truly a madman. But Sha Ying, too, why did he insist on saying such things to provoke Ling Xiao?
He felt somewhat afraid.
Although his strength was not weak, compared with the Water Elder, there was no comparison.
"Who killed him?"
The Water Elder suddenly opened those strange eyes and shouted angrily.
Those eyes were a vivid blue, like water waves, yet exuded a fierce aura, as if they were the eyes of a sea beast.
"It was me!"
Ling Xiao was already prepared to flee. He simply didn’t believe the Water Elder could catch him.
"You! Prepare to die!"
The Water Elder suddenly extended his palm.
That palm was unlike a human’s, looking more like the hand of the Sea Race, with a thin membrane.
This palm came crashing down like a giant seal, intending to execute Ling Xiao on the spot.
"Ling Xiao, run!"
Seeing the situation, Heiye Changfeng had no choice but to throw a punch and then threw Ling Xiao away.
Although he was no match for Water Elder, he believed he was stronger than Ling Xiao and had a better chance of escaping.
However, he evidently overestimated himself and underestimated the Water Elder.
Just that one strike left Heiye Changfeng dizzy, spewing blood, his body gravely injured.
"Damn, why was I so kind; now I’m doomed."
Heiye Changfeng cursed.
At this moment, no one could save him, and he gradually lost consciousness.
Just before fainting, he saw that Ling Xiao had returned.
"Damn it, saved in vain, this kid is an idiot."
But he was powerless now, completely unconscious.
Ling Xiao stood by Heiye Changfeng, and to be honest, he didn’t expect Heiye Changfeng to save him.
So he was "saved" carelessly.
In fact, with his body movement technique, dodging the Water Elder’s strike was not a big problem. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Moreover, Water Elder clearly can’t leave the Demon Sea Domain, so as long as they escaped far enough, it would’ve been fine.
But Heiye Changfeng tried to "save" him, causing the current situation.
Of course, Ling Xiao didn’t blame Heiye Changfeng.
Instead, he was very grateful to him.
Someone he just met was willing to risk his life to save him, regardless of the outcome, was a gesture worth appreciating.
He put an Injury Healing Pill into Heiye Changfeng’s mouth and then used his primordial power to refine the medicinal efficacy.
Confirming that Heiye Changfeng would not die.
Then he looked at the Water Elder and said, "You, a dignified expert with a late stage cultivation of the First Cycle, Fifth Layer of Hell, actually stooped to attacking a junior like me. Truly shameless.
You hurt my Senior Brother Chang Feng today, I won’t let it go easily."
"What can you do?"
The Water Elder said disdainfully, "I’ve guarded the Water Eye for so many years, I’m already tired of living. If you have the ability to kill me, I’d be grateful instead.
But you don’t have that ability!"
"You think killing you would be difficult? I have many pills here that could kill you on the spot!"
Ling Xiao said.
"Impossible, to kill me, you’d have to lift the curse on me.
If I leave this Water Eye, I would be worse than dead.
Besides, no poison can kill me, my curse can counteract it.
Only a being much stronger than me can kill me!"
The Water Elder shook his head.
"How troublesome."
"It indeed is troublesome. You should go; since I failed to kill you with one strike, I have no face to launch a second one. This was what I promised that lad Sha Ying.
He accompanied me for several years; I promised to kill whoever killed him, but if I can’t succeed in one strike, I’ll leave it be."
The Water Elder said, waving his hand.
Ling Xiao initially hated this old man to the core because he hurt Heiye Changfeng and tried to kill him.
But listening to the old man now, it seemed like he had his own difficulties.
And since Heiye Changfeng wasn’t dead, his hatred dissipated a bit.
"You said you’ve been trapped in the Water Eye for many years, then you must have heard of Ling Yan, right? I want to save him, do you know how?"
Ling Xiao decided to take a risk.
This Water Elder had an eccentric personality; he clearly refused to align with the current Eight Immortals Mountain leadership.
Asking him might yield more useful information.
"Ling Yan? You want to save him?"
The Water Elder suddenly became agitated, then shook his head, "You’re too weak, if you can’t even defeat me, how could you save him?"
"From what you’re saying, you knew Ling Yan?"
Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"Of course, I am Ling Yan’s mentor! The boy once came to this Demon Sea Domain and received my inheritance. He could have revitalized the Eight Immortals Mountain, but was plotted against by a bunch of scoundrels.
Alas, his downfall resulted from his own kindness, betrayed by those ungrateful people."
The Water Elder sighed.
"So you’re Ling Yan’s mentor!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao’s hatred for the old man subsided even more. He said, "I’m Ling Yan’s brother.
This time, I came to find out Ling Yan’s whereabouts and will soon save him."
"You’re not capable."
The Water Elder shook his head.
"If you knew that I advanced from a half-step Yin-Yang Realm to the Intermediate Stage of the First Cycle of the Yin-Yang Realm, Third Layer of Hell in just three months, you wouldn’t say that, right?"
Ling Xiao said calmly.
"Impossible! Is your talent greater than my disciple’s?"
The Water Elder was shocked.
"Isn’t that obvious? In the Ling Family of Feather Transformation Town, he was my lackey. Of course I’m stronger than him."
Ling Xiao curled his lips, "Anyway, I won’t waste words. All I hope is that you can tell me more about the Demon Sea Domain. How can I better rescue Ling Yan?"
