Chapter 109: Fighting the Golden Core Stage Sea Monster Alone
Chapter 109: Fighting the Golden Core Stage Sea Monster Alone
Flying over an abandoned market town, Shi Chen clearly remembered that the last time he passed by, the market town was still in good order and the spiritual veins were intact, but now it was in ruins and the spiritual veins had been drawn away.
Still nearly four thousand miles away from Duhaixian City, Liang Ruyan was cornered by the relentless pursuit of the sea monster. However, the sea monster didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill her.
Presumably, the sea monster was using Liang Ruyan as bait, intending to kill the human cultivators who came to help. However, after two days of chasing, no human cultivators appeared to help.
By the third day, the siren's patience seemed to be exhausted, and it began to speed up, closing in on the fleeing Liang Ruyan.
If the sea monster in the middle stage of the Golden Core following behind her sprinted with all her strength, she would definitely be able to catch up with Liang Ruyan in less than a quarter of an hour, and killing her would be easy.
But the siren just accelerated at a steady pace, looking leisurely and contented, obviously teasing Liang Ruyan, or trying to lure out other human cultivators more cleverly.
Knowing this, Shi Chen knew that even if the two sea monsters caught up with Liang Ruyan, they would not kill her immediately. So, he found the ruins of a mortal town, stood in the center of the ruins, and began to set up a formation.
To deal with a sea monster with the cultivation level of the middle Jindan stage, a formation of at least the second level is needed, which has the power to break through the defense.
Five Thunder Formation, Steel Rock Formation, Three Killing Sword Formation, Yin and Yang Trapping Formation.
After setting up these four second-level formations, Shi Chen chased after them at lightning speed.
Half an hour later, his spiritual sense finally captured their figures.
At this time, Liang Ruyan had been forced to stop in a desolate wilderness, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, her robes tattered, and her hair disheveled and flying wildly.
"You'd better quickly gather your companions, especially the formation master from last time. If he comes to rescue you, there might still be a glimmer of hope." The half-human, half-demon mermaid said sarcastically.
"My companions are not around, so I'm afraid your plan will fail. Even if you pretend to lure them like this, no human cultivators will come. Come on! Let me see what the sea monster royal family, who have completed their foundation building, are capable of." After Liang Ruyan finished speaking, she resolutely sacrificed a magic shield.
"Since you are so eager to die, I will do you a favor. However, before you die, can you tell me the name of the formation master who almost killed me last time?" The half-human mermaid said relentlessly.
"If you want to know his name, just accompany me to hell. I will tell you when we get there." Liang Ruyan said, and cast a hurricane spell.
The hurricane swept the surrounding rocks and wood, and swept towards the mermaid in front of it like a wild beast.
While the Jindan Sea Monster's attention was focused on the battlefield ahead, Shi Chen approached quietly and launched a sudden attack when he was five miles away from the Sea Monster.
The flying sword magic weapon rushed out like lightning. In mid-air, the meteorite fire technique condensed into a three-meter-sized flaming rock, which smashed towards the Jindan sea monster with blazing flames.
Ding!
The flying sword failed to break the Jindan Sea Monster's protective magic weapon. It was like hitting a solid wall and was bounced back directly.
After Shi Chen cast the spell, he had no time to check the results. He used his spiritual sense to pull back the flying sword and then fled like the wind.
"Hmm!" The half-human mermaid looked in the direction Shi Chen fled, and did not attack Liang Ruyan.
"Go and capture that human. I will cut his teammates into pieces in front of him."
"Yes, young master!" The Jindan Sea Monster agreed and turned to chase after Shi Chen.
"It seems that we can still lure out one or two human monks. Don't worry, I won't kill you before I catch that person, haha!" The half-human mermaid laughed complacently.
Shi Chenfeng's escape speed was slightly slower than that of the Jindan Sea Monster behind him. The distance between them gradually shortened from five miles to three miles, and finally to only one mile.
At this time, they were already fifty or sixty miles away from the half-human mermaid royal family. Another two or three miles and they would reach the place where Shi Chen had set up the formation in advance.
Shi Chen stopped, waved his hands rapidly, and cast five spells: Wind Blade, Torch Flame, Ice Lance, Golden Sword, and Earth Wall.
The siren that caught up to him clapped his hands together, and the four spells instantly disappeared like bubbles. His hands were unharmed, and there was only smoke around him.
"Human, this is just like an ant trying to shake a tree. If it were an early stage Jindan, they might still be afraid of your magic, but your magic of this level is like scratching an itch to me. You'd better surrender obediently, so as not to suffer more unnecessary torture." The siren in the middle stage Jindan said disdainfully.
"You're dreaming. I want to see what magical powers this middle-stage Jindan sea monster has and whether it can kill me with one palm." Shi Chen sneered.
The iceberg cracked!
The sea monster slapped out with all its might, and its entire palm transformed into an iceberg, crashing towards Shi Chen with overwhelming force.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Shi Chen cast the Torch Flame Technique five times in a row within a breath, but still could not stop the oncoming iceberg, only slightly weakening the power of the iceberg's impact.
After being knocked back more than two hundred feet, it finally stopped after hitting a rock on a low hill. Shi Chen, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up.
puff!
His internal organs had been displaced, his bones seemed to be falling apart, blood was oozing from his facial features, and he spat out a mouthful of hot blood when he opened his mouth.
The Golden Core Sea Monster caught up to Shi Chen in a few steps and said, "Look, resisting stubbornly is only asking for trouble. If you surrender obediently, you can avoid the torture."
"You're only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. You can't even kill me with one palm strike. Believe it or not, I won't die even after three palm strikes." Shi Chen said hoarsely.
"If I hadn't promised the young master that I would capture you alive and skin you alive, I would have beaten you into a pulp with one palm. Try to take my palm again." The Jindan Sea Monster said, and swung out another palm fiercely.
As the Jindan Sea Monster stretched out its palm, it transformed into a huge wave, which was so majestic that it was frightening. Wherever it passed, the blocking rocks and plants were crushed into powder.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shi Chen barely managed to release five huge fireballs. Each fireball exploded when it came into contact with the huge waves. Although it could slightly reduce the power of the huge waves, Shi Chen was swallowed up and drowned by the huge waves before the sixth fireball was released.
Boom!
Shi Chen's body was swept up by the huge waves and spun wildly, and was finally knocked more than a mile away. After landing, he rolled more than ten times before stopping.
"I've told you before that resistance will only bring you torture. Now almost no part of your body is intact. Fortunately, my hands and feet are not broken, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the young master." The Jindan Siren arrived and said arrogantly.
Shi Chen was lying on the ground, his back still moving slightly, otherwise he would have been considered dead.
Three breaths passed before he began to slowly struggle to sit up.
"Haha! The cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core is indeed powerful...powerful. It seems that you are doomed today. How about this, I...I will use my most powerful...spell, and see...see how much strength you need to resist...resist it. Hey!" Shi Chen raised his hands, his breath was unstable, and his voice was trembling.
A fire dragon condensed in front of Shi Chen's hands, its head, body, tail and claws all lifelike, and then it roared and flew towards the Jindan Siren.
At the same time, Shi Chen waved the flag in his hand, and the formation was activated.
啤!
When the fire dragon attacked the Jindan sea monster, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky.
There was a huge rock crashing down from behind the Jindan Siren, and four golden swords appeared, flying towards the Siren.
The Jindan Siren's eyes remained calm. Just as she was about to cast a spell, she found that she was trapped and locked, unable to move.
Crackling!
The trapped Jindan Siren endures all spells and formation attacks.
When the flames died down, Shi Chen, who was sitting on the ground, looked forward and saw that although the mermaid had some scars on her body, she was not seriously injured.
"Human, you have angered me. Is this what you call the strongest blow? Such a tiny injury is like an itch, hahaha!" The siren laughed arrogantly and walked towards Shi Chen step by step.
