BXBX NOVEL Chapter 206
However, his inability to break through didn’t render Li Su powerless. The Flying Immortal Sword’s attacks followed a flexible path, with Li Su continually channeling spiritual energy. While the Azure Dragon Beast was formidable, equivalent to the third or fourth layer of Divine Transformation, the source of its extraordinary defensive treasure remained a mystery.
“Let’s capture it first!” Li Su murmured and swiftly acted, releasing numerous flags while unleashing symbols and runes in all directions, intending to trap the Azure Dragon Beast.
“Ouch!”
The Azure Dragon Beast seemed to sense the impending danger and desperately retreated, demonstrating exceptional alertness.
“Roar!”
Li Su wasted no time activating the symbols and runes. However, the Azure Dragon Beast’s heightened alertness caused its eyes to glow red, significantly increasing its speed. In a heartbeat, it darted far away. Witnessing the creature’s escape, Li Su refrained from pursuing and redirected his runic attacks towards another fifth-layer sea beast.
This sea creature, radiating thunderlight in the water, was less potent than the Azure Dragon Beast and not as vigilant. Moreover, the Azure Dragon Beast had abandoned it when it fled. It couldn’t withstand the onslaught and quickly succumbed. Beneath the sea, a sun-like phenomenon appeared around the fifth-layer sea beast, unleashing devastation on surrounding sea creatures.
“How astonishing!” The potency of this attack left the formidable members of the sea tribe astounded. When the light dissipated, and they inspected more closely, the fifth-layer sea beast fared even worse. The lightning that once enveloped it had vanished, and its scales displayed no elemental fluctuations. It lay motionless.
Li Su’s hand moved, and a profusion of golden threads emerged from all directions. The fifth-layer sea beast attempted to resist by feigning death and moving its tail but to no avail. With a flick of Li Su’s finger, a magical artifact transformed into a massive rod, delivering a powerful blow to the sea beast, rendering it unconscious and defenseless. The golden threads enveloped the fifth-layer sea beast, and under its severe injuries, it couldn’t break free, falling captive to Li Su.
With the fifth-layer sea beast’s demise, although numerous other sea creatures remained, they proved no match for Li Su and his allies. The onslaught of sea creatures persisted, but the more they came, the more they were overpowered. The powerful members of the sea tribe also joined the battle. After a day of relentless combat, a dark, even more menacing, and larger black dragon, Mo Qi, approached, and other dragonkind followed suit.
“Why are there so few sea creatures left?” Mo Qi was shocked, having received a message from Mo Lin about the imminent fall of the Holy City. However, hardly any sea creatures remained, and he swiftly learned why. “It’s our benefactor!” Mo Qi spotted Li Su and was overjoyed. “The immense debt of gratitude our sea tribe owes to the benefactor will be forever remembered!” The battle concluded as reinforcements from the Northern Sea Tribe arrived, completely repelling the sea creatures. This wave of sea creatures had sustained severe losses, significantly reducing the threat to the Northern Sea Tribe.
Realizing that Li Su had come to their aid, the sea tribe expressed deep gratitude for his role in blocking two fifth-layer sea beasts and safeguarding the Northern Sea Spring’s eye. Li Su had unquestionably rendered a significant favor to the Northern Sea Tribe, showcasing his might. Facing two fifth-layer sea beasts single-handedly, he forced one to flee while capturing the other alive—his power was undeniably formidable.
“Mo Lin, even though your true dragon bloodline hasn’t fully recovered, we can proceed with the wedding. Your grandfather will make that decision!” Mo Qi’s voice resonated, and seeing Li Su once again coming to the sea tribe’s aid, he deemed it no longer appropriate to postpone Mo Lin’s marriage to Li Su, using his authority as her grandfather to decide. Mo Lin blushed but chose not to object further.
Li Su couldn’t help but glance at the young black dragon lady, wondering if her tacit approval meant she would agree. Although she was several hundred years old, her petite frame raised questions about her ability to bear children. “Elder Mo, we’re entrusting this sea beast to you. See if you can extract any information from it. The other fifth-layer sea beast with the formidable armor escaped. There’s something suspicious about this.”
With the matter settled, Li Su looked at Mo Qi and said, “Crafting treasures in our sea clan isn’t an easy task. Where did these sea beasts with such potent armor originate?”
“Indeed, something seems amiss,” other influential members of the sea clan murmured skeptically upon hearing Li Su’s words. Li Su sensed that this matter might be connected to the shadowy figures who had plotted against the North Sea and the Northern Realm thousands of years ago. However, he couldn’t be certain.
The North Sea Spring had a significant influence on sea creatures, potentially causing them to run amok. Releasing a sea beast with power comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Divinity and equipping it with potent armor suggested an even greater force. So why hadn’t they attacked and wiped out the North Sea’s sea clan? Perhaps they harbored their concerns, lurking in the shadows for a reason. Many questions lingered, but Li Su lacked sufficient information to conclude, opting to leave the matter to the North Sea clan for resolution.
“There’s undoubtedly something suspicious at play. Thank you for the reminder. This incident has served as a wake-up call for us, and we’ll enhance the defense of the Sacred City moving forward,” Mo Qi affirmed. Li Su and Mo Lin’s wedding plans were subsequently finalized and scheduled to take place in three months. Mo Lin didn’t raise further objections but conveyed a condition through Bai Ling, indicating her desire to delay childbearing until her true dragon bloodline was fully restored.
It appeared that her true dragon bloodline had not yet completely recovered, but this wasn’t a significant issue. This time, the Dragon Clan was uniting a divine being, Mo Lin, with a true dragon bloodline, and Li Su’s appreciation for her prompted him to send out numerous invitations. When word spread that Li Su was marrying another divine being from the Sea Clan, cultivators in the Northern Realm were again shocked.
As Li Su prepared for the wedding, he received unexpected news that the sect leader, Shangguan Xue, had ascended to the Nascent Divinity stage. Upon receiving this information, Li Su promptly made his way to the Immortal Sect.
