Chapter 1182: Showing Up
“Die!”
The leader at the Condensation Period later stage was stunned for a moment, then he let out a furious shout, bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the giant green python.
The giant green python burst into green light, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, it spurted dense green silks at Zhang Xiuniang.
Zhang Xiuniang had just consumed her spiritual power in killing the Sea Creature Clan man with silver spears, so her face looked very pale. There was a trace of blood on her mouth corner. She was clearly exhausted.
Seeing this situation, she took a deep breath, turned her wrist and cast a fan-shaped sword light to protect herself.
At this moment, a green lightning shot from the side and hit the fan-shaped sword light.
Bang!
The fan-shaped sword light dissipated suddenly. It was the attack issued by the Sea Creature Clan man with a hammer.
Immediately afterward, the dense green silks hit long white sword heavily.
The white long sword made a loud noise, and the light on it disappeared. The sword was knocked off her grip. Zhang Xiuniang’s body was shaken greatly, affecting her injuries. She spouted a mouthful of blood before falling from mid-air.
The Sea Creature Clan leader grabbed forward, and 5 water lights wrapped toward Zhang Xiuniang.
Zhang Xiuniang was so weak that she couldn’t even lift a hand. A look of despair flashed across her face. She could only close her eyes and wait for death.
There was also a burst of exclamation from the crowd below.
At this moment, “swoosh“, then her body tightened and flew up as if she was hugged by someone on her waist.
“Since you dare to do it in front of me, then stay with your lives.” A gentle male voice came into her ears.
Zhang Xiuniang opened her eyes. She saw a man in a green robe hugging her, but when she saw the man’s face clearly, she immediately shuddered.
This man in a green robe was naturally Liu Ming.
Not far away, the 2 Sea Creature Clan people were also surprised. They scanned Liu Ming with Divine Thought, but after failing to check the depth of his cultivation, they were astounded.
“Shit, it’s a Crystallization Period cultivator!”
Fear flashed on the face of the Sea Creature Clan leader. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and recalled the green python to bring himself toward the distance.
Another Sea Creature Clan man with a hammer also ran in another direction.
“Hmph!“
Liu Ming snorted and released 2 black dragon phantasms with a wave of his hand. In a flash, the 2 black dragon phantasms had caught up with the 2 Sea Creature Clan people at an astonishingly fast speed.
“Boom boom“, the dragon phantasms burst open, turning into 2 clusters of black light that silently devoured the 2 Sea Creature Clan people.
It wasn’t until this moment that the crowd below reacted and let out a burst of exclamation.
The Essence Absolute Clan patriarch saw that Zhang Xiuniang who was on the brink of death was saved, his face turned pale in disbelief.
“Liu… Senior Liu…” Among the crowd, the man surnamed Yue stared blankly at Liu Ming who was in mid-air and said stutteringly.
The Spirit Apostle cultivators behind him were also stunned.
“You’re… Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu…” Zhang Xiuniang looked at Liu Ming’s face and said with some uncertainty.
“Long time no see, Senior Sister Apprentice Zhang.” Liu Ming looked down at Zhang Xiuniang and said with a slight smile.
Only now did Zhang Xiuniang realize that she was being held in Liu Ming’s arms. Her face turned red. She struggled lightly, stood up from Liu Ming’s arms and came to the side.
“Thank… thank you junior fellow apprentice for saving your life.” Zhang Xiuniang bowed with a blush on her face.
“Senior sister apprentice is polite.”
Liu Ming waved his hand, then the 2 clusters of black lights returned in the distance. The black lights faded, revealing the 2 Sea Creature Clan people, but both of them had fainted with their eyes closed.
Seeing that Liu Ming subdued the 2 Sea Creature Clan people easily, the Essence Absolute Clan patriarch and his people looked ashen. Someone started to flee first, then the others followed suit.
Liu Ming turned his gaze and waved his hand. A flash of lightning flashed in his palm, and a thick golden lightning arc shot out. It shot and split into a dozen smaller lightning arcs, shooting toward the fleeing Essence Absolute Clan people.
The Essence Absolute Clan patriarch who had the highest cultivation had escaped for tens of meters with a shield spiritual weapon carrying him, then there was thunder behind.
“Senior, spare my life…” The Essence Absolute Clan patriarch was horrified. He wanted to say something, but unfortunately, the golden lightning arc struck him mercilessly.
The blue shield was torn apart by the golden lightning arc like a piece of paper.
The golden lightning arc twisted around the body of the Essence Absolute Clan patriarch. Before he could let out a scream, he was turned into ashes.
Some other Essence Absolute Clan people who tried to escape were not spared either. When the lightning arc flashed, they were exterminated.
Liu Ming’s attack was so ruthless and powerful that he killed a dozen people of the Essence Absolute Clan in an instant. There were 2 Condensation Period cultivators among them. This scene made the other casual cultivators keep quiet out of fear. No one dared to speak or more, lest Liu Ming struck a lightning arc on them.
“Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu, you…” Zhang Xiuniang opened her mouth slightly and looked at Liu Ming in shock.
At this moment, a bloody light shot out from the building below. A young man in blood-red clothes was revealed from the bloody light. His complexion looked a little pale as if he was injured.
“Senior Sister Apprentice Zhang…” The young man in a bloody robe was anxious. Seeing the current scene, he was stunned slightly. After looking around for a few moments, he glanced at Liu Ming with doubt and surprise.
“Junior Fellow Apprentice Xue Can, don’t worry. This is Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu, Liu Ming. He is a disciple of Yunchuan Continent’s Savage Ghost Sect, and also a member of our Yunchuan Alliance.” Zhang Xiuniang said hastily.
“So it’s Savage Ghost Sect Master’s… Junior Liu. I’m Xue Can of the Blood River Hall, pleasure to meet you.” Hearing this, the young man in a bloody robe hurriedly cupped his fist and bowed even though he still looked puzzled.
When he said Liu Ming’s name, he paused and glanced at Zhang Xiuniang.
Liu Ming’s aura was huge, which was obviously above the Condensation Period. He didn’t dare to address Liu Ming as a senior fellow apprentice, so he changed it to Master’s Junior.
“Brother Xue, no need to be polite.” Liu Ming didn’t care about the title. He glanced around and said indifferently, “This is not a place to talk. Let’s go to another place.”
“This building is the base of our Yunchuan Alliance. Master’s… Junior Liu… If you don’t mind, please come in to have seat.” After Zhang Xiuniang hesitated for a while, she also changed her address to Liu Ming as Master’s Junior.
Liu Ming’s mouth twitched. He glanced at the woman and nodded without saying anything, then he grabbed 2 Sea Creature Clan people and flew down.
Zhang Xiuniang paused, quickly gave some instructions to the Spirit Apostle disciples of the Yunchuan Alliance who hadn’t figured out the situation, and then led Liu Ming into the building.
As soon as Zhang Xiuniang and others left, the casual cultivators near the high platform were in a commotion.
A Crystallization Period human cultivator appeared on Dual Pincer Island. He captured and killed several Sea Creature Clan people easily, and he also wiped out the core force of the Essence Absolute Clan. In this way, Yunchuan Alliance could establish a stronghold here without much hindrance.
Some casual cultivators who were still on the sidelines expressed their willingness to join the Yunchuan Alliance.
“I didn’t expect Senior Liu to be a Crystallization Period cultivator.” Among the group of the muscular man surnamed Yue, a young man in his twenties said with longing.
“Hehe, we actually traveled with a Crystallization Period cultivator. We are considered his acquaintance now! Let’s go and sign up too.” The muscular man surnamed Yue said excitedly.
Their Yue Family was just an ordinary small family. If they could be acquainted to Liu Ming, it would be of great benefit to them.
…
In the living room of the building, after Liu Ming and the others sat down, spiritual tea was served shortly after.
“Master’s Junior Liu, after a hundred years, you have actually advanced to the Crystallization Period. This is really gratifying. Where you have been training all these years? Why is there no news from you?” Zhang Xiuniang asked impatiently.
“Senior Sister Apprentice Zhang, you and I were also of the same generation back then, so there is no need for the word Master’s Junior. Just use the previous address will do.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
“Don’t dare. Since Master’s Junior is now a Crystallization Period cultivator, how dare I be so presumptuous.” Zhang Xiuniang said with a solemn expression.
Liu Ming’s expression changed when he heard the words, and he didn’t insist anymore.
“This matter is actually a long story. I encountered an accident more than a hundred years ago. I was swallowed by a space fissure and teleported to another continent… It was not until recently that I was able to return to the Sea Region.” He briefly talked about his encounters over the years.
Zhang Xiuniang and Xue Can looked at each other in blank dismay upon hearing the words, and they did not speak for a while.
“Let’s not talk about that. On the way to Dual Pincer Island, I heard about the current situation in the Sea Region. The Sea Creature Clan seems to have grown in power. What’s going on?” Liu Ming asked abruptly.
“The Sea Creature Clan is now the largest clan in the Sea Region. Not only our human race, but now the cultivators of other clans are being suppressed by the Sea Creature Clan forces.” Zhang Xiuniang sighed with a frown.
“Why is the Sea Creature Clan so powerful? Although the strength of the Sea Region Royal Family was strong back then, they didn’t seem to be so strong to this extent.” Liu Ming said with a slight frown.
“It was different now. The Sea Region Royal Family has been defeated. Now the Sea Emperor Palace rules the Sea Region.” Xue Can said respectfully to Liu Ming.
“Sea Emperor Palace…” Liu Ming was greatly surprised when he heard this. A figure in a white robe vaguely appeared in his mind.
TL: Siren King? Didn’t he get devoured in the space fissure together with Liu Ming?
