Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593: It Could Cost Lives
Any attack thod, as long as the power is strong enough, does not need to fear being slow—sacrificing speed for power does not necessarily decrease efficiency.
However, if the pace is slow and it also misses the target, it can be quite frustrating.
The three Qi Refinent Realm practitioners launched a total of twenty-eight attacks, but they only hit the target five tis, with an accuracy of less than twenty percent, and three tis they almost injured Feng Jun by accident—this is quite unheard of.
Twenty-eight attacks an two hundred and eighty minutes. Including so previous attacks, indeed, they spent five full hours attacking these two Soul Devouring Sharks.
Their attacks did not lower their realm, but the consumption of Spirit Revitalizing Pills was making their breaths unstable.
Once the first Soul Devouring Shark was dealt with, the second one was easier, especially since Soul Devouring Sharks always appear in pairs, indicating their high loyalty to their mates, coupled with the presence of treasures here, the second one refused to leave no matter what.
Feng Jun dealt with the second one in less than five minutes.
This shows that once a battle unfolds, it isn’t simply one plus one equals two; the effect can greatly exceed two, especially when there is tacit cooperation.
Interestingly, just as he killed the first Soul Devouring Shark, the five-person team led by those two cultivators appeared again—now as four people, drawn here by sensing the battle aura.
Upon seeing the battle with the two Soul Devouring Sharks, they turned around, intending to leave.
“Stop!” Feng Jun shouted intensely, still attacking the Soul Devouring Shark while speaking, “Such audacity, getting addicted to taking advantage?”
The Interdiate Level cultivator cupped his hands toward Feng Jun with a bitter smile and spoke, “Friend Shi, you misunderstand. We truly didn’t an to take advantage this ti; we actually intended to help. Seeing it’s you, we know you don’t need it… In the Endless Sea, we cultivators should support each other.”
“You have a point,” Feng Jun snorted lightly, continuing to kill that Soul Devouring Shark, while still talking, “Listen carefully, these three people’s trip to the Endless Sea counts as under my protection, don’t get any twisted ideas, understand?”
“Understood,” the Initial Stage cultivator nodded readily, “Actually, once we understand each other’s strength, we can focus more on hunting. A bit of probing beforehand is normal operation; it can’t be avoided completely… We’ve been tested too.”
“This upper realm cultivator makes sense,” the Qi Refinent practitioner A nodded and sighed lightly, “This is the Endless Sea.”
“Indeed,” the Initial Stage cultivator nodded with deep understanding, “This is the Endless Sea.”
Amid the onlookers’ chatter, Feng Jun killed the Soul Devouring Shark. The first one had already been collected by three people; he pointed to this one by his side, “You take it.”
The High-Rank Qi Refinent practitioner B raised a hand and collected the prey into a Storage Bag.
Feng Jun glanced at the people present and then dived back into the water, “Return if you want, wait if you wish.”
After speaking, he was already subrged into the coral reef.
The two groups of people on the water exchanged glances, and the Initial Stage cultivator spoke up, “How many pairs of Soul Devouring Sharks were killed?”
“Just one pair,” replied High-Rank Qi Refinent practitioner B, “Master Shi wasn’t interested in these small things and bestowed them upon us.”
The Interdiate Level cultivator seed to sense so innuendo in those words, his lips twitched, but he didn’t speak.
The Initial Stage cultivator wasn’t bothered, only curiously asked, “Then what is he after in the Endless Sea?”
“It’s definitely not about Spirit Stones,” Qi Refinent practitioner A answered, “The resources he consud in the previous battle are worth more than ten thousand Spirit Stones.”
Indeed, the three of them had already seen that Master Shi’s recent battle was conducted in a lavish manner, and he wasn’t even interested in recovering the two Soul Devouring Sharks, evidently not lacking Spirit Stones.
The Initial Stage cultivator was puzzled by this logic: consuming so much and then giving the prey away?
However, he quickly reacted—with the experience of upper realm cultivators, this cause-and-effect wasn’t hard to guess.
In sudden realization, he asked, “These two Soul Devouring Sharks… were they staying put and refused to leave?”
“Yes,” High-Rank Qi Refinent practitioner B nodded briskly, “we discovered them and then invited Master Shi… we only wanted one Soul Devouring Shark; he imdiately said both are for us, everything else is for him.”
The Interdiate Level cultivator couldn’t hold back—the treasures guarded by the Soul Devouring Sharks! He furrowed his brow, “Your demands aren’t high; many could fulfill them.”
Intending to recomnd himself, but High-Rank Qi Refinent practitioner B replied without hesitation, “Master Shi said he only wanted to gamble on the treasure; if he had to give one away for information… he couldn’t afford to lose face!”
The Interdiate Level cultivator was choked by this—reasonable fees, and others say they can’t afford to lose face?
The Initial Stage cultivator, however, leisurely looked at the three opposite and asked with a half-smile, “Master Shi has gone to retrieve the treasure, is it appropriate to discuss this matter behind his back?”
High-Rank Qi Refinent practitioner B replied expressionlessly, “He killed the Soul Devouring Sharks, two against one… quite powerful.”
You two are both Cultivators from the Mortal Plane. If facing each other in a duel in the sea, which of you can single-handedly take down a Soul Devouring Shark?
So, don’t think that having two Cultivators from the Mortal Plane makes you exceptional. Master Shi dismissing you as ants is no exaggeration.
“Your words are sowhat inappropriate,” spoke the Beginner Level Cultivator from the Mortal Plane. He could sense the insinuation in the other’s words. In the past, he would have punished such disrespect towards a superior.
But since Master Shi has declared to protect the other, he doesn’t want to confront that terrifying guy, so he can only say, “Not lacking Spirit Stones is good, but does equipnt and resources represent combat strength? … What if soone sets an ambush?”
The High Tier Qi Refinent Practitioner leisurely spoke, “Master, Master Shi only went in to search for treasures because he saw you coming.”
The two Mortal Plane Cultivators were left speechless; this remark was truly ruthless.
At first listen, it sounded like Feng Jun only went into the sea to search for treasures after killing the Soul Devouring Shark because of his trust in them being there.
But what he implied was: Right in front of you two, he dared to go down; why are you still babbling? Go ahead, set an ambush if you dare!
However, they truly didn’t dare to bet on this; if Master Shi dared to handle things this way, he was either a fool or had too much confidence.
Does Master Shi look like a fool? Not at all. Then there’s only one possibility: he doesn’t consider them worthy of notice—he’s already said it, describing them with two words, “ants”!
Anyway, Cultivators of the Endless Sea may act without restraint, but many tis, they need to … GET A CLUE!
They obediently waited for Feng Jun, and after about ten minutes, Feng Jun returned, speaking cheerfully, “Alright, it’s about ti. We should head back now.”
The High Tier Qi Refinent Practitioner laughed and spoke up, “Master Shi, you must have made a huge gain again. What did you get?”
He wasn’t trying to probe Feng Jun, but was hinting at sothing; after all, he could sense that Master Shi not only had a rich background but was also confident and unafraid of trouble, so he was subtly warning.
“I can’t say here!” Feng Jun replied with a laugh. “This is the Endless Sea, a lawless place. We need to stay low-key. If soone targets us … well, that would be fatal. You, being a hunter, should know this rule, no?”
The last sentence seed like a reprimand, but seeing his relaxed deanor, it was clear he didn’t take it seriously.
The High Tier Qi Refinent Practitioner’s expression tensed, nodding seriously and said, “Master Shi is right; it was my oversight.”
My intention was to give a warning, not sure if he got it … should I try to remind him in another way?
The Beginner Level Cultivator from the Mortal Plane jumped in, eager to add fuel, “Look, I told you there’s sothing wrong with your actions. With a Soul Devouring Shark lingering here, there must be treasures. How can you speak carelessly … Right, Fellow Daoist Shi?”
“That’s true,” Feng Jun nodded, “If it gets out, soone might recklessly take risks, trying to kill for treasures.”
“Yes,” the Interdiate Level Cultivator from the Mortal Plane finally spoke, showing goodwill towards Feng Jun, “Fellow Daoist Shi’s strength is extraordinary, no doubt about that, but two fists can’t fight four hands. Doing this puts Fellow Daoist Shi in a dangerous position … it could actually result in fatalities.”
“Hey, hey, hold on a second,” Feng Jun waved a hand dismissively, frowning slightly. “You might have misunderstood. When I say there could be fatalities, I an others dying … how could I die?”
The Interdiate Level Cultivator from the Mortal Plane froze, not knowing what to say—Fellow Daoist, is your confidence really justified?
The Beginner Level Cultivator from the Mortal Plane saw it fit to speak, even if inappropriate; if the Interdiate Level Cultivator spoke and misspoke, it would be hard to retract. “Fellow Daoist Shi, what if many people attack?”
“Yes, I’m worried about that too,” Feng Jun nodded with a frown.
Hearing this, everyone sighed in relief, indicating that he sowhat had a clue in his mind, without being too arrogant.
But the next mont, he made a shocking statent, “I really don’t want to kill so many people. Cultivators should suppress Spirit Beasts. If there were to be a planar war … from the perspective of the Human Cultivators… killing too many is really bad. We need to keep a low profile.”
Everyone fell silent—so this was what you ant?
After a while, the Interdiate Level Cultivator from the Mortal Plane finally said softly, “There might be Golden Core enemies.”
“Heh,” Feng Jun laughed nonchalantly, but anyone observing closely could see the disdain in his eyes. “What about a Golden Core? Honestly speaking … killing too many Golden Cores would be even worse.’
Once again, everyone was speechless, while the Interdiate Level Cultivator directly asked, “Fellow Daoist Shi, have you killed a Golden Core?”
“Heh,” Feng Jun laughed again, with the sa laugh and smile. “Of course, I’ve killed them, but if you ask how many, I definitely won’t tell you.”
The Interdiate Level Cultivator still contemplated, while the Beginner Level Cultivator directly knelt, “Fellow Daoist Shi, just for saying this, within the entire Kunhao Plane, I only admire you!”
Feng Jun glanced at him, softly mumbling, “Does it really matter whether you admire or not?”
At that mont, a brilliant burst of fireworks exploded in the distant sky.
