Lin Bai’s entire body was cracked from the impact, with fresh blood spurting out from the gaps.
"If it hadn’t been for the Silver War Body, I would have been dead from that hit," Lin Bai said, his eyes filled with dread.
"My powerful strike only scratched him a bit, without drawing a single drop of blood."
Lin Bai looked at the small sword marks on the forehead of the Giant Beast with an iron-green face.
Lin Bai made a quiet estimation. Based on his present attack strength, at least tens of thousands of strikes would be needed to kill this Giant Beast.
Tens of thousands of strikes were a conservative estimate.
Without conservatism, an estimate of hundreds of thousands of strikes might not be enough to kill it.
"Is every ancient, prehistoric Giant Beast this difficult to deal with?" Lin Bai asked coldly.
The Giant Beast roared, its echo pushing the water current against Lin Bai’s body.
The enormous force made Lin Bai’s internal organs churn.
Suddenly, the Giant Beast swung its massive body, barreling towards Lin Bai with deadly intent.
"Since a frontal assault doesn’t work, I’ll have to rely on speed." Lin Bai saw the Giant Beast charging fiercely at him, his eyes flashed, the Feng Lei Divine Wings rapidly unfurled, transforming him into a beam of light, zooming straight to the sides of the Giant Beast.
His speed was incredibly fast. In the dim, lightless sea, Lin Bai was like a bolt of lightning attacking the Giant Beast’s left side.
"Oh my god, is it that big?"
Upon reaching the left side, Lin Bai finally saw clearly that this enormous Giant Beast was like a giant whale in the sea, only its body was at least dozens of times larger than a whale.
From the head to the tail, its length was almost impossible to estimate, completely overturning Lin Bai’s understanding.
Its tail whipped the water, creating tremendous waves.
The boundless power exploded in the water, shards of water carrying the force of arrows hit Lin Bai’s body.
Lin Bai spat out another mouthful of blood, his face draining of color.
At this moment, the Giant Beast swung its tail violently, the crushing water current was rushing towards Lin Bai, making him feel like his body was about to be crushed into blood foam.
After another heavy blow, Lin Bai was hit by the arrow-like water current, his figure emerged from the speed, and he was once again flung in front of the Giant Beast.
The Giant Beast roared in fury, opening a massive mouth that could swallow islands, with water currents rapidly flowing into its cavernous maw.
And Lin Bai was in this water flow.
Lin Bai was like a leaf in the ocean, following the flow of the water towards the Giant Beast’s mouth, utterly powerless to resist.
"This is bad, it wants to swallow me!"
"No, if I end up in its stomach, I might never get out in this lifetime."
Lin Bai’s face was iron-green. In the water, the Qingge Sword lit up with a brilliant white glow.
"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill!"
"The wind blows and the sea blows!"
"Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers."
Sword Intention bolstered the power of Lin Bai’s sword skill.
Three sword Qi whistled by, slashing towards the Giant Beast’s mouth like a world-splitting strike, but its mouth seemed to swallow everything, making Lin Bai’s sword Qi disappear as soon as it flew into its mouth.
With that, two storms rolled up, striking hard in the Giant Beast’s mouth.
The Giant Beast winced with pain.
The last strike, the Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers, a sword Qi so dazzling it stung the eyes, mercilessly hit the soft flesh inside the Giant Beast’s mouth, generating a splatter of fresh blood with a sound of "puff".
The Giant Beast roared in pain as its gaping bloody mouth slowly closed.
Once its mouth closed, the sucking force in the water disappeared.
"In the water, I am no match for it. But if we’re on land, it’s unpredictable."
"But Hua Wanqing said that, once you dive down, never ever break the water surface. Otherwise, you will fall into the strange Great Array of the Lost Sea, and will never be able to exit the Lost Sea."
Lin Bai thought, his eyes narrowing in hesitation.
The Giant Beast, with a mouth full of blood from Lin Bai’s previous sword Qi strike, has now completely enraged and is frantically charging at Lin Bai.
Above the sea, tremendous waves were sparked.
It was as if a Demon God was bellowing beneath the water.
"There’s no other way now. I must surface. Otherwise, in the water, I can’t possibly be a match for the Giant Beast."
"I am a land animal, you know."
"And besides, no Magic Circle Under Heaven can trap me."
Lin Bai grinned, made up his mind, and revealed his Feng Lei Divine Wings.
Lin Bai coldly looked at the Giant Beast: "If you want to eat me, then follow me."
Having said that, Lin Bai’s body shot out from one thousand feet deep underwater towards the opposite side. The speed of the Feng Lei Divine Wings was extremely fast, and within an eye blink, he had flew thousands of meters away.
Seeing Lin Bai depart, the Giant Beast became even more furious. It moved its huge body, surging forward, heading straight for Lin Bai’s back.
The roar echoed for thousands of miles.
This powerful outcry caused all living creatures within thousands of miles to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The travelling Xue Jianke heard this roar and turned back in surprise to look at the sea behind, "Lin Bai has infuriated it."
"The Giant Beast is enraged!"
Xue Jianke, Jin Qiu, Sky, Qiu Biao, Hua Wanqing, Sha Tongtian, Long Feihai, Sun Jiacheng all showed unprecedented terror. It was as if they wanted to grow extra legs and make a swift departure from here.
Meanwhile on the other side.
This area of the ocean turned completely dark.
If anyone got close and looked, they would find the black water was filled with a strong dose of poison.
As the Giant Beast’s roar reached them, a bedraggled old man emerged from the pitch-black sea.
The old man, shrouded from head to toe, his arms, chest, thighs, ankles - all his flesh had been gnawed off by the Soul Devouring Fish Demon, revealing white bones.
The Poison Dragon Beast hanging on his shoulder was extremely shabby, and the whole body of the snake was almost eaten up.
"Hehe." The Poison Dragon Island Master emerged from the black sea water, turned and saw that thousands of Soul Devouring Fish Demons in the black sea were all dead, floating in the water.
The Poison Dragon Island Master had surprisingly poisoned the whole group of Soul Devouring Fish Demons, which even a Divine Elixir Realm would avoid.
"This is the Giant Beast’s roar... I hope everyone is okay and that the gap can be blocked." The Poison Dragon Island Master, now battle-scarred, was down to less than a fifth of his prime combat power.
So, he now relied solely on Lin Bai and the others.
"Lin Bai, Xue Jianke, I believe you can do it." The Poison Dragon Island Master said firmly.
The Poison Dragon Island Master didn’t know that in order to buy time for the team, Lin Bai had stayed behind to engage the Giant Beast.
Only Xue Jianke continued to travel with the team deeper into the sea.
As if hearing the voice of the Poison Dragon Island Master, Xue Jianke turned back and solemnly said, "I will indeed try my best."
Having said this, Xue Jianke followed the team deeper into the sea.
