Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 199

“Let’s begin the spell.”

As Feng Sam-nang shouted, waving her flag, a navy-blue ripple appeared in the air. Simultaneously, the others waved their flags, scattering blue energy. Then, everyone vanished into thin air, leaving the area looking like empty space from a distance.

Shortly after, two streaks of light flew through the area where they had been, but the spray of water, seemingly oblivious, continued its pursuit.

As the white spray entered the barrier’s range, navy-blue glows spread everywhere, and a huge curtain of light unfolded, trapping it inside.

Only then did Feng Sam-nang and the others reappear. From the navy-blue flags they held high, navy-blue pillars of light, as thick as bowls, rose, making the light curtain even more dazzling.

The yellow and gold lights that had passed by turned around upon seeing this. When the light faded, Elder Myo and the giant emerged.

Elder Myo shouted with joy, “Well done! Now, if we can hold that monster and buy time to activate the treasure, we’ll succeed.”

Elder Myo and Elder Go exchanged glances before each taking out ancient-looking bronze spears. The spears looked unremarkable, not emitting any light.

However, as the six Foundation Establishment elders, who had reached their peak, solemnly chanted spells, the long spears in their hands rose and began to emit a dazzling light.

At this moment, the Infant Carp Beast, trapped in the light, sensed the danger and wailed pitifully, retracting the water spray that had been over a hundred feet long. Then, a white protective barrier made of water droplets formed instantly.

At the same time, a sound like tens of thousands of horses running was heard from within, and the cultivators maintaining the light barrier opened their eyes in surprise.

Suddenly, the wailing stopped!

Then, countless navy-blue lights shot out from the water spray, rushing towards the barrier with fierce momentum.

Some of the light masses were deflected by the navy-blue barrier, but most collided with it and exploded.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions echoed from both the navy-blue barrier and the water spray, and the light barrier began to shake and look precarious.

Feng Sam-nang’s face changed, and she shouted loudly, “Everyone, replenish your magical power! That last attack was the Water Gang Divine Lightning, one of the Infant Carp Beast’s three great techniques. It won’t last long, so just hold on for a moment!”

She immediately chanted incantations and spat blood onto the flag she was holding. The light pillar emanating from the flag thickened, stabilizing the light barrier.

The other five cultivators also poured their magic into her, helping her.

Han Li, watching from behind Guk Hon, was surprised. It was only the first attack, yet the six late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators had to do their best to barely hold it off.

It was truly an extraordinary demon beast.

Changes were also occurring with the bronze spears of the Core Formation cultivators floating above the formation. The spears were gradually growing larger, and their tips began to point towards the demon beast.

The Infant Carp Beast in the water spray sensed this and let out an ear-splitting shriek.

Then, the water energy surrounding it began to rotate, creating a huge whirlwind. As the seawater rose with the whirlwind, dangerous Water Gang Divine Lightning light masses, like those seen earlier, were forming within the huge waves.

Cheong Sanja and the others were surprised and quickly looked at Feng Sam-nang, but she also looked flustered. It was clear she didn’t know anything about the spell the Infant Carp Beast was about to use.

Han Li’s face darkened, and he quickly ordered Guk Hon to pour a huge amount of magical power into the flag.

Judging by the situation, he didn’t know what kind of strange spell the Infant Carp Beast was about to use, but it was definitely a desperate last struggle, so it wouldn’t be an easy attack.

*Wooong.*

Thinking this, he looked up and saw that the two long spears had reached their maximum size and were emitting a pleasant resonance.

A strange sound rang out, and a huge wave rotated madly, rising towards a certain point of the light barrier.

The middle-aged man and the woman next to him, who were watching this, paled because the enormous offensive was flying towards the formation gate they were guarding.

With no other choice, they gritted their teeth and emitted yellow and navy-blue light, forming a dazzling protective barrier. They also poured a large amount of spiritual power into their flags.

The light pillars emanating from their flags became incredibly thick, temporarily stopping the wave, but it was only for a moment, and they couldn’t stop it.

The Infant Carp Beast’s wave crashed straight into the light barrier.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

Crack!

“Ugh!”

The sound of something exploding and screams were heard simultaneously. The light barrier they were supporting was collapsing miserably.

The cultivators supporting the barrier vomited blood. The middle-aged scholar also spat out blood and retreated with his wife dozens of feet away.

As the barrier broke and everyone was in chaos, someone shouted from the sky, “Die!”

At the same time, two streaks of light pierced through the huge wave like lightning and struck the sea surface. Then, a terrible wailing was heard, and the sea instantly calmed.

When the white water barrier scattered, the Infant Carp Beast, which had been hidden, revealed its appearance, and the bronze spears, now back to their original shape, were piercing through its body.

Han Li immediately ordered Guk Hon to take out spirit stones to recover his magical power and then observed the demon beast from afar.

The Infant Carp Beast’s appearance was strange. It had the face of a baby and the tail of a fish, but it also had four white hands and long fins like wings on both sides.

However, it was holding four objects in its soft, white hands: a huge red crab shell, a navy-blue coral, an egg-sized bead, and a silver clam shell like a shield.

All four objects emitted light, and they seemed to be great treasures.

The Infant Carp Beast distorted its face and let out a painful groan, making the cultivators shudder.

It was constantly shaking its body and writhing, trying to break free from the spears. However, with two bronze spears piercing it, it couldn’t move. It was as if it had been pinned to the water.

The six elders who had activated the spears also looked exhausted, as if they had greatly depleted their energy using the treasure.

Still, they couldn’t hide their joy at the treasures in front of them and quickly tried to descend.

The middle-aged scholar and Cheong Sanja also showed greedy expressions as they looked at the treasures.

However, under Feng Sam-nang’s fierce gaze, they quickly straightened their expressions and watched the Core Formation cultivators take the demon beast’s treasures.

When the two excited Core Formation cultivators descended to within twenty feet of the Infant Carp Beast, a jet-black dark energy surged from the sea surface below the demon beast.

The dark energy froze the sea surface within a radius of several hundred feet, including the Infant Carp Beast, and then soared up, flying towards the elders.

Han Li and the cultivators were shocked.

Elder Myo and Elder Go immediately saw the dark energy.

“Profound Yin Demonic Energy!”

The two split apart and dodged the attack. The dark energy didn’t seem to intend to chase them and returned to the sea surface, condensing into a black whirlwind.

When the whirlwind subsided, a man and two women appeared next to the Infant Carp Beast.

The man was small and had a pitch-black face, and the women had voluptuous figures and beautiful faces, wearing sleeveless short skirts. An eerie and evil energy emanated from them.

The women were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the ugly, small young man was a Core Formation cultivator.

“Oh Chuk, what are you doing! Are you starting a war with us?” Elder Myo seemed to know the man and angrily vented his anger. However, the young man’s attitude was arrogant.

“A war? I don’t have such a hobby. I’m just offering the Infant Carp Beast’s demon core to celebrate my grandfather’s emergence from seclusion under the sea.”

At those words, the expressions of the six elders changed immediately.

“Are you saying that the Extreme Yin Ancestor has emerged from seclusion?”

The other cultivators also paled, and even the middle-aged scholar, who had been arrogant, showed fear. Could it be that the Extreme Yin Ancestor was so famous in the Chaotic Star Sea?

What was even stranger was that the evil energy they were emitting felt familiar.

Upon closer observation, he realized that although the power of the dark energy was unknown, it was similar to the energy of the Blood Refinement Divine Light that the Emperor of Yue and Guk Hon had cultivated. Han Li recalled the [Profound Yin Scripture] mentioned in the gray-white book.

It was called Profound Yin Demonic Energy, so could it be related to the Profound Yin Scripture?

Before Han Li could organize his thoughts, Elder Myo shouted, “What nonsense are you spouting? Everyone knows that he went into seclusion 100 years ago, saying that he wouldn’t emerge unless he reached a higher realm. Are you saying that he reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in just 100 years!”

Oh Chuk burst into laughter. “Hahaha, as expected, the Six Factions didn’t know anything. Who said that our grandfather went into seclusion to reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm? He went into seclusion to cultivate the world’s greatest demonic art, and now that he has mastered the technique, it’s only natural that he would emerge.”

His expression was triumphant. Elder Myo and Elder Go were frozen by the unexpected information and couldn’t immediately determine the truth.

Oh Chuk’s face hardened at their doubtful expressions, and his tone became colder. “Now that you’ve heard the news about my grandfather, you’ll naturally hand over the Infant Carp Beast, right? Even if you are the Six Factions, you can’t ignore the reputation of our Extreme Yin Island.”

Elder Myo’s face darkened at his arrogant words, and Elder Go also fell into thought and lost his words.

Cheong Sanja and the other cultivators were just invited outsiders, so they could only step back and watch how the situation unfolded.

In any case, the cultivators except for Feng Sam-nang were just hired to deal with the demon beast, not subordinates of the Six Factions.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Six Factions were being pushed back!

Although there were Elder Myo and Elder Go, who were Core Formation cultivators of the Factions, they had greatly depleted their energy by recklessly activating the treasure, the Heaven Piercing Halberd.

Furthermore, although Oh Chuk was only in the early stage of Core Formation, he had mastered the famous top-grade demonic art, the Profound Yin Art, in the Chaotic Star Sea, so he was on a different level from ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

Moreover, with the Extreme Yin Ancestor backing him, no cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea would want to mess with him. But if they handed over the Infant Carp Beast to Oh Chuk like this, what would happen to the reputation of the Six Factions!

Not only would all the time and money they had invested be wasted, but it would also tarnish their reputation and hinder their future growth.

At this time, Elder Go, who was floating in the air, moved his lips and was secretly discussing something with Elder Myo.

Oh Chuk coldly sneered at them, then took out a pitch-black sword and approached the Infant Carp Beast.

With a swift movement, the sword was swung, and the demon beast’s head flew off. He then began to search for something in the neck area.

The two women in short skirts were vigilantly watching the two elders with wary expressions.

Feng Sam-nang’s face became extremely dark. However, with the two elders silent, she was even less in a position to step forward.

The other cultivators were also watching everything, keeping their mouths shut tightly, afraid that they might get caught in the crossfire.
