As the sound of water breaking echoed, three beams of azure light instantly merged into a cyan giant sword over ten zhang long, fiercely hacking downwards.
With a loud crash, the anticipated scene of the coral rock being shattered did not occur.
The instant the sword light struck, crimson large flowers emerged from the holes in the coral rock. They twisted like sunflowers.
A layer of scarlet spiritual light resisted the sword light.
Zhang Ling expressionlessly raised his hand again, and a ray of spiritual light struck the sword light, instantly causing the sword light to decompose back into three flying swords, rapidly shuttling around the coral jade.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sword lights formed, striking it with clanging sounds.
At the same time, a black light shot out from Zhang Ling's sleeve, quickly enlarging into a section of jet-black, shiny bone claw, slamming onto the coral rock.
With another loud crash, the entire coral rock trembled, immediately cracking with countless fissures.
Numerous sword lights hacked and slashed in a flurry, and the hundred-zhang-sized coral rock instantly crumbled. Countless black shadows darted out from within, scattering and fleeing.
These black shadows were actually several different kinds of demonic beasts, including a group of yellow and red fish, countless sea urchins of varying sizes, and several giant crabs, jellyfish, etc.
These originally marine creatures, corrupted by demonic energy and transformed into demonic beasts, were actually able to coexist together.
Zhang Ling activated a magic incantation in his hand and released four more flying swords, transforming them into four beams of azure light.
One azure light instantly killed a cyan-black giant crab several zhang in size; this was a fifth-order demonic beast.
Another azure light cleaved open a sea urchin, also a fifth-order demonic beast.
The third azure light killed a massive strange fish.
However, the fourth flying sword encountered some minor trouble; the original target was a large squid, and judging by the extent of demonic energy on its body, it was a sixth-order demonic beast.
The large squid suddenly contracted its body by more than half, and with a whoosh, it transformed into a beam of blue light, its speed suddenly increasing two or three times, piercing through the water like a water arrow.
The flying sword missed, and Zhang Ling sneered, controlling the bone claw to pursue. The bone claw instantly shot out five jet-black claw rays, like wind blades.
Its speed was naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary high-order demonic beast. Overtaking it, the bone claw tore the large squid into several pieces.
At the same time, the flying sword also killed two high-order demonic beasts.
This series of actions took a long time to describe, but the numerous attacks released were completed in just two or three breaths. Instantly, six high-order demonic beasts were killed.
Zhang Ling was quite satisfied; two of them were sixth-order demonic beasts, which was equivalent to the result of him searching for one or two hours.
For a Nascent Soul cultivator, killing ordinary high-order demonic beasts was naturally easy. It was just that searching for the traces of these demonic beasts would waste a lot of time.
After the giant coral rock shattered, the scene was chaotic for a time. Thousands of low-order demonic beasts scattered and fled.
Zhang Ling naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to these low-order demonic beasts, letting them flee. His gaze suddenly turned to the upper left, where a group of colorful jellyfish were rapidly fleeing.
With a thought, the flying sword and ghost claw attacked in that direction.
Among this group of jellyfish, there was also a transparent jellyfish, which was a sixth-order demonic beast. It seemed to possess some secret supernatural power. Had he not scanned it two or three times with his divine sense, it would have almost been concealed.
The flying sword transformed into sword light, strangling more than a dozen third and fourth-order jellyfish. It re-condensed in the water, becoming a bright azure light, swiftly piercing through.
With Zhang Ling's current strength, the power of the sword light formed by instantly combining seven flying swords was even greater.
But something unexpected happened. At the same time that the sword light passed through, the transparent jellyfish, only about ten zhang in size, actually turned into a transparent paper, like a deflated ball.
Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment. This was clearly not the true form of the transparent jellyfish. An illusion? No, it was more like some kind of substitute technique.
While he was stunned, a huge transparent bubble suddenly appeared behind him, and countless black tentacles swept towards Zhang Ling.
Upon closer inspection, the transparent jellyfish had appeared behind him at some point.
Zhang Ling seemed not to have noticed all of this, and his figure did not move. Countless tentacles instantly wrapped Zhang Ling within them.
But at the same time, Zhang Ling's figure also dissolved into specks of blood-colored light, like a bubble in water.
“Oh, I didn’t expect my divine sense to have misjudged. It’s actually a seventh-order peak demonic beast. Its secret supernatural powers are not weak. If it advances further, I’m afraid it would be much more troublesome to deal with.”
Zhang Ling's voice came from the sky more than ten zhang above, watching the transparent jellyfish in the bubble with some interest.
Cracking sounds entered his ears, and a strange vine was coiling around his left arm, transforming into a hundred zhang in size, like a strange rope, wrapping around the transparent jellyfish in the bubble.
The cyan-red spiritual light on the vine flickered, and strange blood-red flowers grew, rapidly waving like blood-colored small knives, slashing towards the jellyfish.
With a series of popping sounds, the translucent bubble around the jellyfish trembled and then shattered.
The transparent jellyfish seemed to possess some intelligence. At the moment the bubble on its body shattered, its entire body turned milky white, as if this was the true form of the jellyfish.
Bubbling sounds rang out, and the white jellyfish's body seemed like boiling water, rapidly revealing orange-yellow lines that looked like plant roots or meridians.
These lines extended to the bottom of its body, transforming into countless tentacles. As they swung, illusions seemed to appear before his eyes, and countless milky white bubbles appeared in the water.
The blood-red small flowers released by the vine struck among them, and their angles of attack were strangely deflected, with a large portion missing.
Only a portion attacked the jellyfish, knocking down many of the jellyfish's tentacles, but these injuries did not seem fatal.
After the white bubbles appeared, the pitch-black water flow, which had been corrupted by demonic energy, became even more turbid. The bubbles also had the effect of shielding divine sense, which was clearly some kind of supernatural power of the jellyfish.
At the same time, the vine, wrapped in these bubbles, actually had a burning sensation.
Poisonous!
Zhang Ling's brow furrowed slightly. It seemed that this jellyfish's supernatural powers were not small. He groaned and, with a thought, the vine frantically coiled several times, instantly forming a huge water tornado in the water.
The white bubbles were swept into it and annihilated one after another.
But taking advantage of this opportunity, the jellyfish flipped its body, spitting out countless milky white bubbles, and quickly escaped from the entanglement of the vine from below.
Its figure began to become translucent again, transforming into a stream of water and shooting away.
“Hehe, it's also proficient in water escape technique.”
Zhang Ling snorted, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The Two-Y appearance Gourd appeared in front of him, and with a single point, earth-yellow starlight shot out from it, condensing into two sand snakes more than ten zhang long, chasing after it.
At the same time, with the fingers of his other hand flicking, streams of yellow light shot out even faster.
Each stream of light struck the path of the jellyfish's escape in advance, transforming into a yellow light. When the jellyfish crashed into it, it was like crashing into a metal and stone wall, and it was bounced back.
After several impacts, the jellyfish was trapped in a yellow light, and the two sand snakes wrapped around it without hesitation, transforming into a huge earth ball and trapping the jellyfish inside.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ling released the green cone-shaped ancient treasure, shuttling back and forth through it several times.
The jellyfish's aura rapidly weakened, and it also let out a strange snoring sound, which seemed to be a scream. After more than ten breaths, its aura dissipated, and this seventh-order demonic beast, which was not weak in strength, was killed.
