"Whoosh—!"
Seawater splashed several meters high, a muddy red spreading through the deep ocean, deepening its color.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body sank into the water, relying on the unique characteristics of sea soul beasts, it blended almost seamlessly with the seawater and the aura of other wandering Deep Sea Demon Whales, making it unrecognizable.
Having temporarily lost its target, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's ten pairs of serpent eyes were covered by a misty haze as it scanned its surroundings.
In its vision, the world seemed to consist only of blue and red.
The Deep Sea Demon Whales lurking in the seawater became red heat signatures, their active life signs appearing without omission in those serpent eyes, including the Deep Sea Demon Whale King itself, which was lurking below Tang Sui by borrowing the aura of its kin, preparing to launch a fierce attack.
"Whoosh—!"
A hundred-meter-long serpent tail powerfully sliced through the surging seawater. A layer of red mist attached to its dark scales evolved into tangible energy. As the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent turned its body, it unleashed a slash over seventy meters long.
"Boom—!"
The deep red light blade was like a scorching hot iron, steaming away several blue water blades, even the seawater instantly turning into rising vapor.
It was like a sharp fish-slaughtering knife, covering the Deep Sea Demon Whales that appeared in its attack trajectory.
Death was instantaneous.
In their eyes, they didn't even have time to react. All they could register was a red light entering their vision before their bodies were split in half, unable to even explode.
A rich, bloody smell permeated the sea area, mixed with the unique fishy odor, tormenting Tang Sui's sense of smell, making her almost retch.
"Careful below."
Shang Yang's voice echoed in Tang Sui's mind.
A chill climbed her spine and exploded at the scalp. A terrifying pressure ascended from below. The blue-purple energy light lurking in the black mist broke through Tang Sui's barrier in just two seconds.
"Third Soul Skill, Void Face!"
A dark, gigantic shadow approached from below. The horrific whale whiskers and the strong smell of blood assailed her nostrils, giving Tang Sui goosebumps. In that instant, the deep purple soul ring circling her body also lit up, her form becoming ethereal. She let the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which had leaped high, pass through its thick, hard body with its mouth open.
Amidst the flickering light and shadow, Tang Sui landed on one of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's heads, looking back with lingering fear at the creature mid-air. Even its body, over two hundred meters long, couldn't conceal its extreme agility.
"Woo—"
A long whale cry, carrying a strange sonic wave, sounded simultaneously with the sound of the giant whale tail, swung heavily by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as it turned in mid-air.
"Spirit Word · Guard!"
A sacred geometric pattern drawn by profound dao intent suddenly expanded. The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent also dared not be careless, mobilizing its own vast demonic power and merging it with Tang Sui's opened protective barrier, forming a powerful shield to block this unavoidable attack.
"Boom!"
The massive whale tail struck heavily against the jointly formed barrier.
The layer of intense blue-purple light covering the whale tail seemed like countless lightning bolts condensed together, striking the barrier and exploding with terrifying energy impact.
"Crack!"
Tang Sui's first layer of barrier was broken. The terrifying energy impact instantly injured her heart and lungs, causing her to cough up a large mouthful of blood. She was blown away by the strong wind, bloodstains clinging to her cheek.
A crimson demonic energy barrier opened around her, firmly protecting Tang Sui within.
"Roar."
A low growl filled with concern sounded from her side.
Tang Sui looked up. One of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's heads leaned closer, a trace of concern appearing in its cruel serpent eyes, while the other nine heads were still confronting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Just as she was about to say she was fine, the sound of blades cutting flesh reached her ears.
An even more concentrated bloody smell rushed into her nostrils. Tang Sui's face paled. As she turned her head, she saw two familiar, massive serpent heads rolling down amidst the falling blood rain.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's slash had cleanly severed the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's giant serpent heads. The churning flesh and bloody odor reflected in her pupils, its dark gray abdomen stained a dazzling red.
"Chh—"
The two ferocious serpent heads falling in mid-air were caught by two other extended serpent heads of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, which bit down on them.
"Nothing more than this."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a low, mocking sound. Even though its body was also torn and bleeding, it appeared in much better condition than the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, which had lost two heads.
"I admit your strength is indeed comparable to mine, but your best battlefield is land, while this is the sea!"
Saying that, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's gaze fell upon Tang Sui, its expression obscure and unfathomable.
"Although she is a half-blood, I believe this girl is not of your direct bloodline, is she? I haven't sensed a close aura between your blood. Is it worth risking your life for a girl with no blood relation?"
"Our relationship is not for you to judge."
The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's cold serpent eyes fixed on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which floated at the forefront of dozens of Deep Sea Demon Whales. The serpent head that had approached Tang Sui earlier lifted slightly higher, casting a shadow over Tang Sui and obscuring her movements.
"Second Soul Skill, Benevolent Face."
Tang Sui, in a non-attack stance, raised her hand. The second soul ring vibrated, and a healing buff was cast upon herself, then the instantly inflated demonic power was directly infused into the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
In front of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and other onlookers, its dual pupils flashed with a savage light. Its sharp fangs were embedded into the hard scales, and the sharp scales felt like dough in its mouth. It was forcibly chewed and crushed, emitting bone-shattering sounds that sent chills down one's spine.
Such a bloody and brutal scene, even from miles away through the water mirror, caused Poseidon and the others to involuntarily contract their pupils.
So, so terrifying...
Xiao Bai covered her mouth, her eyes revealing deep horror.
She had seen soul beasts in battle devour even the corpses of their own kind, as that was obtainable energy, but this was the first time she had seen one devour itself.
Even for her, the King of the Spirit Whale Shark, such a scene was rare even in a century.
The scene was extremely disturbing.
"Ugh..." Ma Hongjun bent over, trying his best to suppress the urge to vomit.
Bai Chenxiang, who had never witnessed such a scene before, looked pale and trembled as she watched.
Oscar instinctively reached out to cover Ning Rongrong's eyes, but Ning Rongrong grabbed his hand first, stopping him.
Poseidon's eyes flickered for a few moments, and she remained silent.
In the water mirror, the two severed serpent heads of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent had been completely chewed and swallowed by their owner.
In an instant, the bloody, churning severed ends visibly twitched, pulsing like a heart. Blood membranes and flesh fragments, even the veins spread across them, were clearly visible, carrying viscous blood to reshape into new serpent heads.
"What?!" This time, it was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's turn to change its expression.
The recovery speed was so fast?!
