Chapter 397 394- I Won’t Let You… (1)

Back at the Southern Border, Shi Lei Hu was still seated on top of the building overlooking the battle field when he felt something inside his robes.

He reached inside and took out a jade slip and read the message that came for him.

"Elder brother, Sea King Modu has intercepted the ship, I can't fight his clone on my own I need your help. I'll try to stall him as long as I can, please hurry elder brother!"

BANG!

The roof of the building immediately shattered and Shi Lei Hu's figure was already bursting forth with momentum over the wall.

His expression was grim and his aura at the Late Transformation Realm was released without any restraint. Everyone, Sea Beasts and humans alike below the wall in battle shivered as pressure the weight of a mountain landed on their shoulders. They all looked up with horrified expressions.

Shi Chun who was in the middle of fighting the three Rank 4 Sea Beasts felt his eldest brother's berserk aura and couldn't help but look over at him.

"W-What's happening to Eldest brother?"

At his full speed, Shi Lei Hu quickly cross the second wall and entered the expansive sea. But before he could get far, an aura similar in power to his erupted from out at sea.

However, Shi Lei Hu didn't pay it any mind and instead shot past the source of this aura.

On a rock, a middle age man that had skin with a tint of blue and gills on his neck watched as Shi Lei Hu shot past him.

'Hm? He isn't attacking?'

This was Soldan, he was one of the four Sea Lords. He had thought Shi Lei Hu was heading towards him for a fight but he was instead ignored.

Soldan narrowed his eyes before his figure vanish from the rock.

While in the middle of his speeding, Shi Lei Hu sent out his Divine Will to sense the aura residue of the ship and find the path towards it.

However, just as he found traces of the ship's aura, Soldan appeared in front of him and released his aura in the surroundings scattering the ship's aura.

Shi Lei Hu's eyes become cold and killing intent exploded from his body.

"Soldan, move."

"Ho? It seems like you're in a hurry, I wonder what would make you react like this? Why don't we talk for a bit so you can explain it to me, I'd love to hear it."

Shi Lei Hu's eyes because even colder than before.

However…

Swish!

Soldan's smirking expression falter as a blue sword suddenly appeared behind him and aimed to sever his neck.

He reacted quickly and his figure disappeared. After reappearing several meters away, he looked at the woman in combat attire that was a splitting image of Ji Mei before saying.

"Ji Yuwei, you bitch, you dare sneak attack me?"

Ji Yuwei was a beautiful woman, and being Ji Mei and Ji Niu's mother one could tell they got their looks from her.

She was like Ji Mei having an aura of authority and a cold demeanor, but as she flashed a sweet smile at Soldan one could see where Ji Niu got her playful and seductive nature from.

Ji Yuwei seemed like a beautiful but thorny rose.

"I have no qualms about using these methods on the likes of you. General Shi, I'll take of him, you can continue."

"Thank you, sister Yuwei."

Shi Lei Hu said, but just as Shi Lei Hu went flying away, he suddenly heard Ji Yuwei's voice in his head.

'Is it the Mainlanders heading to the Star Bound Continent?'

'Yes, Sea King Modu's clone appeared there.'

BANG!

Shi Lei Hu's figure shot towards the horizon following the ship's residue aura.

Hearing Shi Lei Hu's words, Ji Yuwei's face changed.

'We should report it to the Border Guardian. Acting so recklessly when we don't kno-'

'We don't know why that Sea King would attack a ship full of disciples, but do you think it's easy for the Commander-in-chief to make a move beyond the wall unless it's his original body? Other than me there's no one else that can deal with the Sea King's clone.'

Ji Yuwei frowned, but she knew Shi Lei Hu's judgment was right. However, she didn't like this sudden situation. Why would the Sea King's attention turn to attack a carrier ship full of disciples, completely ignoring this war he incited? Was it to use them as bait to draw them out, or something else?

Far into the distance, Shi Lei Hu's expression was solemn.

'I'm coming brother, just hold out for a while, I know you can do it.'

Several hundred thousand kilometers away from Shi Lei Hu was the Mercenary Association's carrier.

On it, Sea King Modu was in the middle of grabbing at Fang Chen. But just as his hand was about to wrap around his neck, the drop of blood essence projection on his forehead suddenly trembled.

Sea King Modu's hand froze and his expression became confused.

First the drop of essence blood was detecting that this child had a bloodline no weaker than the child from the Leviathan Race, but as he got closer it was sensing something else.

Sea King Modu turned to glance at Jun, then at Fei Yin, then at Mu Fan, then at Lihua, before finally stopping on Tai.

Sea King Modu's heart began to beat rapidly as he couldn't believe what he had just stumbled upon.

In his eyes, a white aura was swirling around Jun centering around his forehead where the image of a Kun Peng was. Fei Yin had a green aura around him in the shape of a sapling tree with its main source coming from the leaf on his forehead.

Mu Fan had a faint red aura around his body as well with the image of a saber radiating a terrifying blade energy, albeit it seemed to be s by sealed by something. Lihua had a blue energy around her coming from a blue orb tattoo that was on her forehead.

As for Tai, in Sea King Modu's eyes, he was straight up just a cat. But not just any cat, but a cat that possibly had the bloodline of Divine Beast!

No, maybe even stronger?

Sea King Modu could see all of these things and he almost lost it.

This wasn't just the heavens blessing him with fortune once again, this was much, much more than that. So much so that Sea King Modu's body couldn't help but tremble.

'Just what is this? Have I accumulated a heaven-defying amount of karma in my past life for me to stumble upon these precious treasures in this life? How could I find not just one but several high-grade nutrients at the same time?'

Quickly, Sea King Modu recovered from his shock and burst out laughing. It was a laugh filled with so much joy it was as if he was a poor farmer that had just found oil on his land.

However, if anyone was familiar with this narrative, such fortunes would be hard to keep for oneself.

As Sea King Modu laughed his head off, Jun reacted quickly. Two pairs of white wings appeared on his back before he grabbed Lihua and disappeared.

Mu Fan was only a fraction of a second behind him as he grabbed both Fei Yin and Fang Chen and retreated with inhuman speed.

Tai at the same time grabbed Li Wen and vanished from sight.

"Where do you think you're going!!"

Sea King Modu yelled with an excited grin on his face as he took a step forward to catch his nutrients. However, Yang Su who hadn't taken a single step back spat out.

"Fuck off!!"

He then shoved his hands forward and the sound of lightning crackling echoed out as a large lightning bolt shot towards Sea King Modu at point-blank range.

"W-What?!!'

Sea King Modu was first indifferent to this attack, but upon sensing the nature of this lightning all of his hair stood on end.

'Calamity Lightning?!'

Sea King Modu was shocked and he raised his hand to hurriedly block the lightning bolt.

BANG!!

A loud explosion occurred that caused the disciples' ears on the ship to ring.

Yang Su looked forward through the aftermath of the explosion to see the results, but a hand suddenly shot out from the dust towards him.

He tried to retreat but the hand was quick as it latched onto his neck.

"Ugh."

Yang Su let out a groan when he felt his throat being crushed. He clawed at the hand but it didn't budge, and slowly he felt his mind slip into unconsciousness while his hands fell to his side.

"Senior disciple brother!!"

Jun's eyes turned red before his wings suddenly flapped. He left afterimages as he dashed to save Yang Su.

"You little brat, you actually manage to scare me for a second. If that was from a Nascent Realm cultivator at the very least I would have been in a bit of trouble. But too bad your cultivation is so low."

The dust fully cleared and Sea King Modu was seen with his excited grin.

Looking at Yang Su he thought.

'I almost overlooked the most valuable nutrient, just who is this brat?'
