Li Zhirui stood in the sky for a long ti, and finally, unable to think of a solution, he sighed helplessly and used the Communication Talisman to inform Li Shiqing and the others to co for support as quickly as possible.
"The situation is so perilous?" Li Shiqing's expression was solemn as he imdiately notified the majority of the Cultivators in the family to quickly pack up and prepare to head to the eastern chain of islands to resist the beast tide.
"Uncle, should we notify Fengwu?" Li Shilian asked hesitantly.
Jiang Fengwu was a Golden Core Cultivator, and she had risen through the ranks of the Demon Hunting Squad through fierce battles. While her combat power might not be on par with Li Zhirui's, it was at least stronger than both of theirs.
With her joining, they would certainly have an easier ti.
But now she was pregnant! Moreover, the fetus hadn't even taken shape yet. The battlefield is ever-changing; what if sothing unexpected happened? How would they cope with that?
After all, this could very well be Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu's first and last child.
Li Shiqing was also fraught with concerns but, for the sake of safety, he ultimately decided to have Jiang Fengwu stay in the family's territory to control the Island Defense Array and protect the clan's people therein.
Although the situation was urgent, thanks to the Li family's ample reserves of various materials and their habit of organized storage, when Li Shiqing and his group set out, they managed to bring along a large amount of supplies.
The personnel heading to the island chain for support included Golden Cores Li Shiqing, Li Shilian, and Da Qing, followed by Foundation Establishnt warriors such as Li Shiren and Li Shiting.
It could be said that to defend against this large-scale beast tide, the Li family had almost deployed seventy percent of their strength!
Roar—
Suddenly, a deafening roar reached the ears of the people who had just set off.
Jiang Fengwu's face turned pale, worried about Li Zhirui's safety, but she could not rush over to fight alongside him, as that would distract Li Zhirui and put him in danger!
The expressions of Li Shiqing and the others turned even more solemn and grave, as they instantly increased the Spirit Boat's speed to the maximum. A beam of Spirit Light that pierced the skies vanished in the blink of an eye.
At the sa ti, Li Zhirui was watching five third-tier Water Devils erging from the seabed.
The earth-shaking roar had been emitted by one of the third-tier Water Devils!
And this one happened to be an 'old friend' of Li Zhirui, the Monohorn Behemoth that had tried to seize the opportunity to invade and devour Da Qing during its Tribulation Transcendence!
It was precisely because it had spotted Li Zhirui in the sky that it emitted that angry roar.
"Lan Jiao, do you hold a grudge against this human race Cultivator?" A Water Devil beside it asked with a smile, "Do you want us to help you take revenge?"
"Humph!" The Monohorn Behemoth snorted coldly, and the surrounding seawater began to stir up a small tidal wave, saying, "I will deal with him myself. Just watch from the side and don't interfere, or don't bla for being rude!"
The other Water Devils didn't care at all, even taking pleasure in the situation, as it ant less effort on their part.
"So it's you!" Li Zhirui recognized the opponent as well, his heart growing even heavier. The last ti they had t, the opponent already possessed late third-tier strength, and now it would undoubtedly be even more terrifying!
"A past defeated foe dares to appear before ?"
Whoosh—
Upon hearing this, the water devils by his side were instantly in an uproar; they had not expected the mighty Monohorn Behemoth to be defeated by humans, especially by soone who was only at the Middle Golden Core Stage!
"You're courting death!" The Monohorn Behemoth, seeing Li Zhirui expose him in front of everyone, imdiately beca furious, lost the rationality characteristic of a third-order devil beast, and with a roar, charged at him.
Despite its hefty size, the Monohorn Behemoth was not slow in the water; in just a few breaths, it reached right beneath Li Zhirui, opened its massive maw, and unleashed a terrifying force of whale's gulp.
The surrounding seawater, under this force, was sucked in along with it, then swallowed into its belly, as if its stomach was an insatiable abyss.
Unfortunately for it, Li Zhirui saw the danger early and had already swiftly escaped, rendering its powerful attack useless as long as it couldn't hit its target!
"That's all the strength you have! Now let show you what I can do!" A fierce glint flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes as he tossed away dozens of highly poisonous seeds, which then rapidly grew with the nourishnt of his abundant mana.
In the blink of an eye, nurous black vines sprouted from the water; even without deploying their most potent toxic essence, just the toxins emitted from the stems and leaves were extrely terrifying, enough to poison a group of lower-tier water devils.
"These vines are poisonous!" The other four third-order water devils retreated as fast as they could.
But as soon as they started to retreat, Li Shiqing and the others arrived!
Three Golden Core combatants had to face four third-order water devils, a challenge that was indeed not small.
"Uncle, just try to hold them off; there's no need to fight them to the death. Once I've dealt with this whale, I'll co and help you!" Li Zhirui didn't use a Communication Talisman but confidently shouted out loud.
"Hmph!" The Monohorn Behemoth, upon hearing this, also stopped hiding his abilities and sneered, "Then let show you my true power!"
Puft!
Before it could unleash its power, a hidden poisonous vine within the sea pierced its body, causing it to deflate imdiately.
"Impossible! This can't be! How could a re first-order vine escape my Divine Sense? Pierce my flesh body!?" This hit was a heavy blow to it, leaving the beast utterly disconsolate.
As for the poisonous vine? Although its toxin was tyrannically powerful, capable of claiming the life of a Golden Core cultivator, when you consider the Monohorn Behemoth's massive size, the poison from just one vine could hardly make a significant impact.
Li Zhirui's original plan was to take advantage of the opponent's mont of distraction to strike with his most powerful attack, wound him, and then slowly enlarge his advantage. However, he did not expect the vine to be so powerful!
But this offered him an even better opportunity. Li Zhirui channeled all his mana into the Thousand Spirits, and the initially half-acre-sized cloud swiftly grew to over ten acres in size.
The Purple Patterned Erald Bamboo growing upon it turned into towering colossuses, as if endless bamboo leaves were clinging to them.
These leaves fell one by one, flickering with purple lightning, like nurous Qing Feng swords exhaling Sword Qi, whistling towards the Monohorn Behemoth.
The bamboo leaves created a Sword Qi tornado that enveloped the behemoth; every fraction of a second, hundreds of bamboo leaves slashed across its flesh.
"Roar!"
With a roar filled with pain and anger, the surrounding seawater quickly beca turbulent; relentless, unending tidal waves attempted to shatter the Sword Qi tornado and rescue the behemoth.
Leveraging its imnse mana, the behemoth finally managed to break the Sword Qi with the giant waves and freed itself. However, its once deep blue skin now bore nurous inverted gashes, creating a ghastly and grueso sight.
